Paper Plants Are Moving
South, Union Chief Says
ey the Associated Press


MOBILE, Ala, May 8.-The
president of the AFL Interna-
tional Brotherhood Of Paper
Makers, with a membership OF
about $4,000, today said the
paper industry is moving South
from the North and East.
Paul L. Phillips Of Albany.
N. Y, gave these reasons for
what he termed "a general shift
of paper production to the
South:
Lower power rates because Of
the Tennessee Valley Authority
and other public power develop
mentS.
The pine timber Of this area
grows faster than Northern
timber.
The paper from Southern pine
is stronger and more efficient
than that from poplar, spruce
and other northern trees.
About 95 per cent Of the tim
ber industry in the South en-
ploys union labor, said Mr.. Phil
lips, whose brotherhood has
members in the United States,
Canada and Newfoundland.
Approximately 200 delegates
attended the annual meeting

CHARLOTTESV LILLE, Va,
May ga series of nearly nom
poisonous chemical inhibitors of
cell growth with potentially very
important medical implications
were announced before the Vir-
ginia Academy of Sciences here
last night by Drs. Lynn D. Alb
bot, ir.. and Mary j. Dodson Of
the Medical College Of Virginia
at Richmond.
These compounds are so-called
benzimidizols which are very
similar in structure to the pu-
rines, naturally occurring body
chemicals which enter into the
structure of the vital nucleic
acids essential for building up
the living cell.
These benzimidizols have
proved potent in the Richmond
experiments in inhibiting the
multiplication Of red blood cells
and of certain virus disease
causing virus cells. The latter
may be of special significance
because the virus can multiply
only inside cells and thus Is i'm
mune to most chemicals which
cannot penetrate the cell walls.
These compounds apparently do
so without difficulty.
, Experiment With Cultures.
DR.. Abbot stressed that there
have been no experiments on
human beings and any medical
applications may be far in the
future. Most of the experiments
have been with tissue cultures.
but lately have been extended to
living rats and mice, where they
appear to act in the same way.
The work started with studies
of the behavior of red blood cells
of chickens grown in cultures
outside the body. The bird red
cell differs from that of man.
mails in that it is a complete
organism with a cell nucleus,
while the mammal cell lacks a
nucleus and cannot reproduce
itself independently. They were
concerned especially with the
way in which heme, the red pig
menc which is the most import
ant part of the cell and the car
rier of oxygen throughout the
body, was syntheSized.
This heme is produced almost
entirely from a single one OF the
cell-building amino acids. gly-
cine. 1t is the simplest OF all.
They were able to make up
glycine in the laboratory whose
molecules were labeled with a
heavy iSotope of nitrogen and
thus follow the rate of its forma-
ton. Then they looked for
chemicals which would alter this
rate. The benzimidizols stopped
it almost entirely, but some much
more than others. They did not,
however, kill the cells themselves.
These went on multiplying but
were colorless.
This Immediately suggested a
medical application on which

Chemicals to Inhbt Cell Growth Found fVo Poey ToId

experiments now are being car
ried out. One of the most
obstinate of human diseases is
polycythemia vera, which is an
abnormal production of red blood
cells in the spleen and bone mar
row. The rat experiments in
dicate that the chemicals actu-
ally penetrate into the bone
marrow and cut down red cell
formation.
Meantime, DR.. Abbott reported,
experiments carried out inde-
pendently at the Rockefeller
Institute for Medical Research
have demonstrated that the
same chemicals inhibit the
growth of influenza virus both
in the test tube and in the body.
The obvious implication, al
though as yet no more than that,
is that they may inhibit viruses
in general and possibly the
dreaded proliferation of cancer
cells.
One Of the benzimidizols and

paradoxical effect. The in

part of the B IL molucule was
first discovered by the drug firm
which synthesized the vitamin.
Door in Cancer Therapy.
The Richmond investigators
believe they may be opening a
new door in the field of substi-
tuition therapy which has been
called the most promising ad-
vance in cancer therapy in re-
cent years. The malignant cell

ically from the necessary sub
stance. BY means of such ana
logs, for example, workers at the
National Cancer Institute have
been able to bring about long
remissions, but no permanent
cures in the still incurable leu
kemia Of children.
The benzimidizols, DR.. Abbot
said, come very close chemically
to being analogs for the essen,
tial purines.
Most analogs must be used
with great caution for they are
virulent cell poisons without
much selective action. The new
compounds apparently do not
injure the cell per Sc, but only
stop it's division.
The paper received an award
from the academy as the most
significant bit of research re-
ported in Virginia this year.
The Richmond scientists stressed
that they are biochemists and
not medical men.

Some observers believe Russia
is fearful of pressing Red China
too far at this time. They do not
believe the Peiping regime is
becoming any less communistie,
but that spirit of nationaiism
is developing that will resist Rus

Chinese territory, including
Manchuria.
Russia is joining as many in

Russia's aim in pushing cock

tics of Moscow have changed

Mr.. Bowles said we may con-
ceiyably see another war in Asia,
but he felt that the struggle be-
tween communism and democ-

villages, in the success or fail

WASHINGTON-During a COM
parative political lull here, while
the approaching Congressional
elections shift interest to the
States, one hears some interest
ing opinions expressed regard
ing East-West relations.
For example:
There is a marked feeling
here that World War III is con-
siderably less likely today than
it has been for some time. This
does not mean that there will
be peace and calm. but that Rus
sia is willing, and anxious, to
try for victory in the diplomatic
and financial spheres.
Word from Europe has it that
Russia is beset with some ser
iOus internal problems which it
cannot longer ignore, and that it
is Pumping very strongly for
co-existence-on MoSeow's terms.
There is not much elaboration
upon what these problems are,
but they probably include many
untitled promises TO the Russian
people and strained relations
with puppet states.
Russia is said to be willing TO
pay a price for "co-existence. ."

Spurred on by these successes.
the October Political Affairs adj
yises the comrades what they
should do TO take advantage of
this favorable situation. Its aim
is stated bluntly on page y:
IAN end to the witch hunting,
the abolition of all CongresSion-
al witch-hunt committees, and
the prosecution of their per1ur-
ed informers, and a halt to the
Gestapo-like political activities of
the FBI" To this is added the
demand upon the incoming Con-
gress that all moves against the
Communist conspiracy must
cease"
Transmission Belts
III Malenkoy were to walk into
the capitol and give these orders
in person, they could not be
more overbearing and arbitrary.
But if the Soviet dictator were
to do that, the politicians would
have to reject such demands.
The Communists have a more
cunning way of making their
orders effective, by using their
transmission belts for raising
hgsterid in the press and ouer
other agencies Of information.
The object of these orders,
the October Political Affairs
boldly advises, is to force the
administration and the forth
coming Congress to plunge still
further into Big Power nego-
tons" And in order to encour-
age the comrades in pressing
this demand, special article
on China relates in detail the
great Soviet victory obtained in
the last negotiation - that at
Geneva.
But if the United States. blind

that will not be enough. There

The True King

The Feast Of Christ the King which falls on
this coming Sunday becomes more appropriate as
The years 90 by. Since The late Pope, Plus AL eS-
sbished this feast the passing OF time has brought
more men to growing realization OF It's import
snfe and significance.
With the rise and fall of dictators and tyrants,
with the weakening OF various and sundry forms oil
governments ruled by men, with the growing de-
struction of security and freedom, 1t becomes
apparent TO all that men are making pretty sorry
mess of the important business ,of .unn.ng the

the lips Of thinking people that God IS the only
One who 1an properly direct the destiny OF ma
tons II is true that representatives OF nations went
81 far as to rule Him out of their deliberations,
but recent DAYS have witnessed a growing recoenl-
lion on the part Of our officials and those of other
countries that their efforts TO rule and govern come
10 naueht when God is not gwen his flghttul
place and honored as the Supreme Lawmaker.
Plus XI not only asked the world to renew ITS
belief in the Kingshp of Christ when he established
this feast but he asked that this rededicaton Ike
place each year when this feast would be cele.
brated There has never been time Of greater
need for men to humbly recognize their utter de-
pendence on God and to ask Him for the light and
strength to carry out His will IN the world. The
Act Of Conservation to the Sacred Heart OF Jesus
is an admirable form Of this conservation that we
al should thoughtfully and humbly recite this
coming Sunday
Christ is King To Him all nations all
peoples owe allegiance and loyalty. Christ IS
the Ruler OF rulers. To Him all men, Of whatever
station they may be- their authority and II is TO
Him that the final accounting Of the use or abuse
of this authority must be made
We should all pray this Sunday that the King
ship Of Christ be ever more recognized by the peo
pies Of the world On this depends the success Of
All meetings OF world powers, II should be our
fervent prayer that all men will soon acknowledge
His Kingship and will consequently rely on Him
rather than on their own feeble talents.

all men, now and forever Amen.

the United States has already
bowed to too large an extent.
Too Much PIay-Aeting
Patriotic Americans can no
longer say that they are fighting
Communism unless they oppose
this lohole Red program for un-
dermining thiS nation. There
has been too much play-acting
against" the conspiracy, not
enough coming to grips with it.
One basic cause for this dismal
picture is the widespread litter
acy among educated Americans
as to what the Communist docu-
ments of directives are ordering
the concealed Communists and
their friends to do.
If every intelligent citizen
were TO take the trouble to try
to save his country by learning
something of the Communist line
and then flooding Representa-
tiyes and Senators with opposi-
tion to it, the face of the nation
would be changed.
Literate On Communism
Knowing this. the October
Political Affairs prepares the
comrades to treat the educated
American as though he we're a
yokel at a country fair, and lays
plans for befudding his mind.
This is done in two articles. One
warns the comrades that their
adherence is to Soviet Russia
but they must deceive Americans
into the belief that Reds are
patriotic. The other is an al
legged reply to a priests letter"
by William z. Foster. In this
reply" Foster takes occasion TO
re-emphasize that the comrades
must be atheists but must also
do all IN their poloer tosnfiltrdte
the Catholics. The big source
of this infiltration is to be found
in winning these Catholics to
the battle against Mccarthy
