FRANKFURT, Germany, July
22.-If war comes between the
West and Russia, the United
States will have to fight and pay
the lions share of it.
A glimpse at Western Europe's
defenses today shows them not
only feeble and inadequate, but
with little prospect of real
strengthening in the future.
President Truman's request
Wednesday for $40 billion more
for defense means each American
taxpayer will be paying nearly so
cents out of each dollar of his
taxes for defense. No Western Eu-
ropean is paying more than 25
cents on each dollar and most of
them far less for their defense.
Heavy War Damage Cited.
There are varied reasons why
some nations are not paying more.
Many suffered such heavy war
damage they have had to devote
their attentions to rebuilding eco
nomically. France cannot get large
defense budgets through her strife
torn Assembly without tumbling
the government.
Budgets of seven Of the main
nations of Western Europe show
a total of less than 81 billion will
be spent on arms this year. This
compares with $23 billion being
spent by the United States, which
represents 48 per cent of total
United States Government ex-
penditures.

Because of the outstanding

seventh ranking electromagnetic
there is no doubt that he will be
Seattle's fighter of the year. The
hard punching Matthews laid the
New Yorker flatter than a pan

exhibition of boxing and ring gen.

sensational, and showed that he
has earned the right to be classed
with the ten best in the country

The
G.adGe Booker
BY Mildred Kirkpatrick

Complaints are increasing by
owners in the small boat harbor,
about petty thieving from small
boats and fishing boats, and
about the dangerous practice of
allowing small children to play
along the float and beach.
In response to one complaint,
we took a trip during the day
to see for ourselves, and to our
amazement and great fear, we
found as many as 35 children
playing around the float. Some
of them were SO small that they
were clinging to the hands Of
impatient older brothers.
wondered at the time Wheth-
er mothers had any idea that
those babies were running about
SO near the water.
Older boys fish off the float
and from small boats in the har-
Dor. No one would suggest de-
priving these kids of the few
cents they are able to make by
fishing, nor to retard in any way
their ambition and industry. Nor
would we suggest that any of
the boys are responsible for
petty thievery. This has been
going on for many years, and
long before the present crop
of youngsters took over the
boat harbor
The fact remains, however,
that thievery is prevalent, and
there is always the possibility
that some youngster could be
made the fall guy. One fisher
man claims to have lost ID fine
salmon off the deck of his boat
in one night last week.
After the harbor is dredged,
which will be done later this
season, and the present float
repaired or another built, the
harbor master will be returned
to duty. There will then be a
charge for rental space in the
shelter harbor and the entire
area under police protection.
Until such time, mothers in
that end of town may not be
aware of the dangerous play
ground their children have dis
covered With the construction
work at the Cold Storage Plant
and the railroad switch yards
in the near vicinity, aside from
the chance of a small child fall
ing into the water, the small
boat harbor is without doubt the
most important place in Seward
for kids to stay away from.
Send them to the playground
at the school, or to the SWIM
ming hole, but for their own
sakes, keep the children away
from the harbor, before it's too
late to be sorry!

New Hope for Vaccine
Against Gas Gangrene
Offered by Discovery
By the Associated Press

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 31.-Hope was
offered today for the development
of a protective vaccine against gas
gangrene, an always-feared COM
plication of war wounds.
Gas gangrene is a wound infec-
tion caused by germs that live in
soil. Armies fear it because of
the possibility Of the wounded be-
ing contaminated where they fall.
A Canadian doctor told the
American Health Association that
statistics for World War II shows
that no marked progress has been
achieved since 1918 in the specific
treatment of gas gangrene in war
wounds" despite the use of such
drugs as the sulfas and penicillin
And, said DR.. Yictorien Fredette
of the University of Montreal,
still less has been accomplished
in the way of preventive immuni-
zation."
Called Bursting Factor"
But he declared new hope" for
a vaccine is offered by a substance
recently found in cultures of
"clostridium perfringens" - the
principal germ involved in gas
gangrene.
He calls it the bursting
factor" because he believes it to
be the activating agent that
causes toxin, or poison, from the
germ to produce infection.
And yet, said the doctor, this
separate factor in itself does not
have the poisonous properties OF
toxin. Also, it appears to set up
immunity to the germs action
when it is injected into expert
mental animals.
In tests with guinea pigs, he
related, vaccinated animals all
survived challenge" doses of gas
gangrene germs.
In contrast, 80 per cent of one
group of unvaccinated animals
were killed. and So per cent OF
another group.
Chicken Standards Hit.
Much of the poultry for the
Nations dinner table is prepared
for market under "the lowest sani-
tary standards of any modern
food industry" a Public Health
Service official told the associa-
tion.
Russell Hart, health service
regional engineer at Kansas City
declared that only 10 per cent OF
the birds in the Nations $3.5 bill
lion poultry industry undergo Fed
eral inspection for the presence OF
disease.
About one half of the remainder
is prepared for market under con-
ditions not compatible with mod
