U. S. Crowdinq Russia?

Since the close of World War II we
have pushed our line of defense to
the heart of Europe and on to the
Middle East and now, by the Turkey
Pakistan treaty, into the heart of Asia.
Meanwhile while Russia has not pushed
her line of defense westward beyond
what we not only acquiesced in her
doing, but actually co-operated with
her in so doing. In short, we have
moved in Russia's direction ten times
farther than she has in our direction.
Check the map.
We complain of the fact that there
has been no change in Russia since
the death of Stain, and we attribute
the Berlin Conferences failure to
settle the peace of Europe to Russia S
stubborn attitude. Did we expect Rus
STA to give up her buffer satellite states
for nothing? We offered her nothing.
In the last war Russia lost Is million
men killed and 80 million disabled and
broken in health-more than twice the
casualties of all the other participants
and the West complains that Russia
did not give up. for nothing, her pro-
tective area in the middle of Europe!
we are So IIldQ JIldG we nave an
nounced to the world that we will never
admit Red China to membership in
the U. N. or recognize her as a men,
Der of the family of nations. That
being so, why send Mr.. Dulles with
delegation to the Geneva Conference
on April 26? Russia will have to merely
condition her offerings upon member
ship of Red China in the U. N and
the family of nations. Thus she will
win all of our European and Asiatic
allies or, at least, make us appear as
the No. peace obstructionist of the
world.
Let's cool off bit Russia is fighting
us only with ideas. Let's not provoke
her into another kind of fight. How
much closer she will permit us to extend
our line of defense is anybody's guess.
We almost have the muzzles of our
guns in her ribs. What if that was
happening to us? Think it over.

DiHgent Detection Pays

reliance on intensive, scientific investigation of
crimes. rather than on tips from stoopgeons

these unreliable persons might recprocate the
favor by helping the police catch other Offend

unexpected quarter eventually should break

accumulated will help to convict the guilty.
This is no time, however, for the police to relax

any easy way.

Letters to The Star

fiscal year. thereby enabling the COM
missioners to propose cutback to 81 so
during the election year of 1854. The
excess of county expenditures over
revenues for the 1954-55 fiscal year will
thus be offset by revenues collected in
prior fiscal year on the basis of a
rate which was clearly too high.
If this is what it appears to be-a
shell-game type of budgeting and reve-
nue. manipulation with political over
tones-are we safe in assuming that it
does not represent the Republican con-
cept of good county government, and
that the commissioners, all of them
members of the Grand Old Party, are
simply straying from the fold?

Death of the Times-HeruId'

When a metropolitan newspaper
prints an editorial such as The Star
did on March 18 under the heading,
Death of the Times Herald" your
readers owe it to you to express their
admiration.
This is the finest editorial I have
ever seen in The Star, and, over the
years. there have been many note
worthy ones. Moreover, it is one of
the most admirable editorials I have
ever read in any newspaper. The sim
cerity of the writer is manifest, and
the sentiments of good will toward a
neighbor newspaper and of concern for
the public welfare should serve as an
example to journalists everywhere.
1 hope there may be general ap-
probation of your attitude.

Spleen Extract Is Potent
TB Germ Antibiotic
Tests Report BociIIi
Kept From Multiplying
By Thomas R. Henry

An extract from the spleen is q
potent antibiotic against the tubercle
bacillus. -
This has just been reported by Drs.
Walter l.. Bloom, Paul c. HudginS and
Martin M. Cummings of the Veterans
Administration tuberculosis laboratory
at Chamblee, Ga, and Emory Univer-
sity.
The extract, which is obtained free
from spleen cells. has been found to
prevent the increase of the germs both
in test tubes and in rabbits. It Is a
acterioStatic-that is, it does not kill
the bacilli but prevents them from
multiplying.
Efforts now are being made to isolate
the material. Several antibiotics, es-
pecially streptomycfn, are effective
against the tuberculosis germ. Unfor-
tunately, however, the germ has
strong tendency to mutate into resist
ant forms and the mutation may even
&C so far that the hitherto poisonous
material becomes necessary for the
health of the bugs" When resistance
is evolved for one drug the customary
practice is to try another. In time the
germs will develop resistance to this
also, and still another must be tried.
Thus the more anti-tuberculosis drugs
the better.
The new substance, according to the
report, apparently acts by creating in
the body an environment unfavorable
fer infection. 1t may not have direct
effect on the bacillus. The spleen has
been known for some time as a source
CT anti-bacterial substances. they re-
port. 1t has been shown that spleen
extracts have a mildly toxic effect on
streptococci and some kinds of staphly-
cocci Boiled dog spleen has been
shown to have mild effect on tubercle
bacilli. Lately a material has been
extracted from rabbit and cow kidneys
which inhibits the growth of the
tubercle bacillus IN a liquid medium.
