New Discoveries About Anemiu
To Help GIs Wounded in Korea

part of blood,
Strangely enough, however. there
was no loss of iron from the body.
The iron that had been in the
plasma merely had left there and
gone into storage in liver, spleen
and other tissues.
Iron was given to these patients,
both by mouth and by injection
directly into the blood stream.
When fed, the iron failed to go
into the plasma, but went to stor-
age. When injected directly into
the blood and plasma, the iron
promptly left for the storehouses.
No reason for this behavior OF
iron was found. But it was dis
covered that the iron returned to
the plasma automatically when
ever the infection was cured.
This. DR.. Wintrobe said, changes
some current methods of treating
this kind of anemia. No medicine
of any kind, not even the liver
and vitamins which cure perni-
cious anemia, have any effect on
this kind. The cure is to concen-
trate on getting rid of the in

fused to delay the scheduled start
next Monday of arguments on the
appeal of IL Communist Party
leaders convicted of conspiracy
to teach violent overthrow of the
government.
Attorneys for the II Commu-

of their counsel. Mr.. Pritt, ac-
cording to attorneys for the II
men, has sent word that he could

IF this were a case in which

Interior TO Turn Over
Golf Links 10 District
When Board Gets Fund
Agreement Is Reached
On Courses Now Run
By LeoffIer Firm
By Colt HendIey, Jr.

All obstacles-except the money
problem-were cleared today for
the District Recreation Board to
take over the operation Of the
public golf courses here.
Recreation Board officials and
Interior Department representa-
tives met and threshed out the
final details of an agreement
which would allow the board to
take over the golf courses. They
are now being operated by S. G.
Leoff1er for the Interior Depart
ment on a one-year contract.
The Interior Department will
allow the Recreation Board to
take over the courses on January l
OF any year in which 1t can raise
the funds.
Board Blocked on Funds.
The Recreation Board has been
stymied so far in its efforts to get
275,000 necessary to take over
the courses. The Commissioners
refused to submit a supplemental
appropriation to Congress for that
amount last summer. The board
has asked for the $275 900 in it's
budget for fiscal 1852, now being
considered by the Commissioners.
Edward ]. Kelly, superintendent
of the Interior Departments Ma
tional Capital Parks Office, said
after the conference today that
agreement had been reached on
all details of the contract. How
ever, he pointed out that the
contract would not be effected
until the Recreation Board OBJ
tanned the appropriation.
The Recreation Board would
use $175,000 of the sum it is seek
ing to buy out Leoffler's equip
ment, as provided in his contract
with the Interior Department.
The appropriation would be
placed in trust fund and repaid
over a period of years with the
other 100000 as operating capi-
tai.
Director Would Be Hired.
The Recreation Board estimates
the income of the golf courses in
1852 would be $465 900. Operating
expenses would run $377, 900, leav-
ing about $4,000 to apply to re-
paying the loan.
If the appropriation is obtained,
the board plans to hire a director
OF golf courses on August /, 1851,
and whatever help is necessary
and take over on January l, 1852.
Those attending the conference
today included Harry S. Wender,
Recreation Board chairman;
James E. Schwab. board vice
chairman; Milo F. Christensen,
recreation superintendent; A. j.

Occupying Formoso
BY the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Nov. 27.-The
Chinese Communists made a dra-
matically timed entrance into a
United Nations body for the first
time today. They appeared before
the General Assembly's Political
Committee for a debate on For
moSa.
The Reds took their seats in the
committee room while Soviet For
eign Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky
was charging the United States
with Transforming Formosa into q
military base and clamping 6
naval blockade on the island.
The theatrical entrance of the
Chinese Communists produced a
stair of excitement in the room
Mr.. Vishinsky interrupted his
speech while they were being
seated. He welcomed WI Hsiu-
chuan, head of the Chinese dele
cation, and wished him success.
A thin smile creased Wu's face.
Charges Occupation.
Mr.. Vishinsky told the COM
mittee that the American armed
forces have deliberately sub
jected the island Formosa to oc-
cupation" in violation of the
Cairo and Potsdam agreements
and the United Nations Charter.
He opened debate on Russian
charges of American aggression
against China.
The committee decided Friday
to allow the Chinese Communists
to participate in the discussions.
The Soviet delegation has ex-
planned it made the accusations
against the United States on
behalf of Mao Tze-tung's Red
regime in Peiping.
The charges grew out of Pres
ident Truman's June 27 order
sending the United States 7th
Fleet to Formosa Strait to pre-
vent the spreading of the warfare
in Korea. The United States has
stated repeatedly it has no designs
on FormoSa.
