District Court Asked
To InvaIidate German
Murder Conviction

Mrs. Yvette j. Madsen. 22-year-
old mother Of two, who shot her
Air Force husband to death in
Frankfurt, Germany. has asked
District Court here to declare her
murder conviction invalid.
In a habeas corpus action, her
. attorneys asked that the Ameri-
can Government be ordered to
bring her here so that the Allied
High Commissioners court, which
convicted her may be challenged
as unconstitutional.
Judge Edward M. Curran yes
terday ordered hearing for April
II, when the Government must
show cause why a habeas corpus
writ should not be issued.
Under 15-Year Sentence.
Mrs. Madsen, who killed 1t. An
drew E. Madsen, 26, in an argu-
ment with others over her Brook
lyn accent, is under a 15-year
sentence.
Her petition charges she is be-
ing restrained and imprisoned
under "wretched" conditions in
Germany because of findings by a
court that had no power to try an
American citizen.
To convict her. Mrs. Madsen
declared, the Government "in-
voked four different systems of
law in one proceeding-German
law, United States Federal law,
United States Military law and
a body of self ordained rules"
The trial body, moreover. was
neither authorized nor established
pursuant to any provisions of the
United States Constitution or
laws, the petition continued. In
stead. it was set up "by military
fiat, without sanction of law, and
was wholly devoid of Jurisdiction
over the accused" it was charged.
German Law Invoked"
The petition also complained
that the three members of the
trial court were civilian employees
of executive agencies, rather than
representatives of the judiciary.
In any event. the court had no
power to invoke German law
against an American citizen, it
contends.

Noack. a Brooklyn carpenter,

ney, Dayton M. Harrington of

Synthesis Of Portion
OF Afhritis Hormone
Seen as Possibility

Recent research gives promise
that an "active fragment" of the
hormore ACTH, which produces
relief from rheumatoid arthritis,
may eventually be produced syn
thetically, the American Medical
Association Journal said last night.
synthesis of ACTH in the lab
oratory has been considered ex-
tremely difficult because of the
nature of the substance, an edito-
rial in the current issue said.
The drug, which gives temporary
relief in arthritis, rhematic fever
and leukemia. is produced for med
ical research purposes from pitui-
tary glands of hogs. But the sup
ply. inadequate to meet even re-
search demands, could never ap-
proach the demand for use by pa
tients, the editorial said.
It added an Armour & Co. es-
innate that the 10 million hogs
to be processed by meat packers
this year would produce the equiv
alent of only one dose a year for
less than half arthritis sufferers in
the Nation.
The recent research develop
ments. the journal said. involve
work at the University of Califor-
MIA and at the research labora-
tories of Merck g. Co. At Califor-
mia, fragments Of the hormone
which retained "biologic activity"
were reported. Merck chemists
have derived a simpler part of
ACTH which gave arthritis relief
In two patients previously treated
with the hormone.

Parasites A
Million Dollar Risk

Worms and bugs are still out
smarting men in many instances
according to the American Veter-
mary Medical Association, saws
Delmar ]. Young. extension dairy
man at the University of Delaware
In multi-million dollar game
of hide and seek with livestock
parasites, men are coming out Sec
ond best most of the time.
Mr.. Young quotes r. D. Turk. of
Texas A. & NJ, as saying that para
sites are still a major problem on
all but few American farms and
ranches on which livestock are
raised for milk or meat.
Seldom are the affected animals
acutely ill, DR.. Turk said. Instead.
parasitic infections can be COM
pared to a chronic disease: the
animal eats we'll, but fails to gain
weight. There is a constant drain
on the animals body. since it is
supporting a colony of interlopers.
Worms may continue to thrive,
even though an animal "is dosed
with worm medicine by it's own
err DR.. Turk said, because only
one or a few drugs are effective
against any one kind of parasite
And sometimes a dose of worm
medicine does much more damage
to the weakened animal than to
vigorous and healthy parasites the
animal harbOrs.
Proper management of animals
on pasture, and proper nutrition
are more important than drugs in
controlling parasites, says the Vet
erinary Association.

sons, compared to the present 80
per cent.
The biggest categories of un-
available men are the 2,673,32O
war veterans, the 1,817,199 men
who are 26 vars of age and older
Conly men 25 and younger can be
inducted), and the 7S4,554 men with
dependents.
Economic conditions are a lot
different now from what they were
in 1910. Industrial production is at
a new peacetime high. Civilian en-
ployment is higher than it has ever
been before. Some 62,367, 900 per-
sons are at work. Unemployment
is down to 2,5O0,00O.
Economists doubt you could
count on getting more than 1,5OO.-
600 men from the present pool of
the unemployed. In 1910 there were
100000 unemployed. This was de-
creased to less than 100000 when
unemployment hit it's wartime low
in 1914.
Heavy Withdrawals of manpOwer
from civilian industry would mean
greatly decreasing civilian produc-
ton at time when income is ris-
ing and demand for goods is in
creasing. 1t would cause initiation
or necessitate drastic economic
controls.
The most feasible course is to in
crease the labor fOrce-the persons
at work or seeking work. But this
will be a lot harder to do than in
1910 according to a study Just re-
leased by the Labor Departments
Bureau of Employment Security.
The Bureau estimates the labor
force cans be increased now by
more than 5,6OOO00 persons. Yet
between 1910 and 1945 the labor
force was boosted to 11,1OO,OOO.
You increase the labor force by
getting people to work who have
retired or never worked before
chiefly the aged the handicapped or
women.

source for new workers. But they

WHAT WILL BE USED FOR MONEY?
AS long any "hard money" such as silver coin
is available, it will be accepted. In France after
World War H. the farmers preferred silver teaspoons
for money. People, of course must use something
for money 1t must be easy carry about and easily
hidden and something which other people want
Sterling silver was always acceptable.
AS gold was unobtainable and silver was gradu-
ally boarded the most preferred form of money used
In Europe during the last part of World War II was
genuine jewels. Even the farmer would accent this
in payment for food because he could pass il on in
others for what he had to buy. Such gems used for
money must not be too expensive and the sunniv

WHERE Do YOU STAND?

Basically there are but two political phil
Osophies. One sets the citizen above the state
that is what we have had in this country
under our representative form OF govern
TGent. The other sets the state above the
citizen and results in the oppression that
has bedeviled the human race throughout
the ages. Currently, socialism and cOmmun-
ism represent the ultimate in the latter phil
osOphy. That is why present-day planners
who advocate greater and greater govern
nent domination over the Individual avoid
these names like the plague. They promote
government ownership of industry, they en-
dorse compulsory medical taxes, they tour
the country at the taxpayers expense in sup
port OF Federal power authorities" and
constantly harp on the theme that. the capa-
Oll1tles of private industry are Inadequate.
Their program from start to finish is social
ism, and yet if it is so defined they cry
-llbelous Regardless of the sensitivities of
the disguised socialist, it is Of the greatest
importance to define his aims. IF this cOun-
try is to abandon the system of government
upon winch It was founded, let's do it de-
lberately, not by subterfuge Up to now no
important politician has openly asked us to
choose between democracy and socialism or
some other kind of statiSm but we are being
urged to support candidates for CONGRESS-
VINO favor political programs that definitely
express much more faith in government con-
trol than in the individual character and
ability Of the average citizen. If we have
come to the conclusion that the Individual
problems Of most people are too much for
them, and that the only hope is in a benevo-
lent government, then let us set up a super
government but let us do it with our ewes
open. On the other hand, if we still believe
that the only real security for any citizen is
his Individual freedom of opportunity, it is
our conviction that the time has come to
stand UP and declare ourselves.
