Schmitt Seeks Details
OF Magnesium Effect
On Water FIuoride

Further details on the reported
counteracting effect magnesium
may have on the fiuoridation pro-
cesSing of water are being sough
by E. A. Schmitt, chief Of the
water supply division for the
Corps of Engineers here.
The District is getting ready to
fluoridate the city water as a
measure for preventing tooth de-
cay in children. The preparations
are expected to take several
months.
Reports from New York on
Thursday described discovery of q
flaw in the treatment: That too
much magnesium, which is pres
ent in food and drink, blocks the
good work of fluorine.
The report was made to the
18th International Congress OF
Pure and Applied Chemistry by
DR.. Albert E. Sobel of Brooklyn
N. Y. head of the biochemistry
department of the Jewish Hos
pital there.
May Depend on Locality.
The findings indicated that how
much good the fluoride treat
mentS did-either through pro-
cessing of water or direct applica-
ton to children's teeth-might
depend on the locality and the
type Of food and drink a person
takes.
Magnesium is in the soil, plants
have a little and animals get some
from eating the plants. The
amount of magnesium a person
takes in depends on how much
there is in the soil his food comes
from. There is a small amount
present in the tissues and blood
DR.. Sobel said a little added
phosphorus in diet probably would
block off the magnesium.
Mr.. Schmitt is interested in
finding out. if possible. how high
the magnesium content in the wa
ter supply would have to be to
have a counteracting effect on
f1uoride. He is writing to DR.. Sobel
for an elaboration.
Little Hard Water Here,
In analyZing the water supply.
officials have been interested, here
tofore. in magnesium content prin-
cipally as component part of the
hardness of the water.
The hardness Of water in Wash
ington is not considered high, and
no softener is used. The officials
estimate that Washington's water,
without Softening, compares with
that of some of the hard regions
of the Midwest after softening.
Hardness comes mainly from mag
neSium and calcium compounds.
The total hardness here aver
ages about 81 parts per million.
An analysis of magnesium in the
District water from 1929 to 1945
indicated it ranged from IA to
ga parts per million. A 1948 re-
port on the raw water at the Dale
carlia plant put the content at an
average of 4.9 parts of magnesium
per million.

|As Czechs Protest
Ban Against Planes
BY the Assoeioied Press


LONDON, Sept. 15.-A Czecho-
slovak protest against new West
ern clampdowns on her Commu-
mist regime met with silence today
from the United States, Britain
and France.
The Prague radio said last
night the Czech government was
sending notes to the three coun-
tries complaining of "open dis
elimination"
There was no indication early
today whether the notes have
reached United States, British and
French headquarters in West Ger
many. A separate note also was
going to the French government
in Paris.
The decision to send notes fol-
lows the Tuesday midnight block
lade of Czech government airlines.
Czech planes are barred from fly
ing over West Germany and into
France and England. Prague ra-
dio called this a violation of the
PotSdam agreement and charged
the United States with pressuring
Britain and France to join in the
sanctions.
Linked to Reprisals.
Allied officials disclosed unoffi-
cially earlier this week that the
measures are part of an agreed
program of reprisals for the

William N. Oats.
A Czech court sentenced Mr..
Oats to 10 years in July on
trumped-up charges. Evidence
given in court developed that the
usual practices of Westerns
reporting were construed to be
spying behind the iron curtain.
President Truman said in WASH
Iington two weeks ago the United
States will not close the Oats
case until he is freed.
The separate note to Paris as

Czech airlines in June.
