Chemical Progress
Week Under Way

Governor j. Caleb Boggs has
called upon all citizens in the state
to join in the observance of the
second annual Chemical Progress
Week, which began Sunday and
continues through Saturday, May
81. The theme of this years obser-
vance is "A Better America
Through Chemical Progress"
"As one of the 48 states, we ma
turally share in the benefits that
the nation as a whole has derived
from the progress of chemistry, >
Governor Boggs declared "But
even more, we here in Delaware
depend economically on the chem
fcal industry.
For example," he continued
"out of every ten people who work
in the First State, two are directly
employed by the chemical indus
try. Three more out of the ten,
working in businesses such as
transportation, wholesale and re-
tail trade, depend Indirectly on the
chemical industry for their liveli-
hood.
I'm other words, about half the
people of the state are supported by
jobs provided through this great
industry, or by jobs that are the
result of its activity here"
Governor Boggs also pointed out
that although Delaware is next to
the smallest state in size, there
were only 13 states where the chem
ical industry spent more money in
new construction last year. In
Delaware such construction total
ed $24 million, the chief executive
aaid.
Chemical Progress Week is joint
ly sponsored in Delaware by the
DUPONT Company. Hercules Powder
Company and Atlas Powder Com
pany along with the Delaware sec
tion of the American Chemical So
ciety.
Ralph X. Gottshall. chairman of
Chemical Progress Week commit
tee and president of Atlas Powder
Company, joined the governor in
leading of programs for the OBJ
Sci tduSC-
Mr.. GOttshall explained that dur
4 ing the rest of the year, compan-
les in the highly competitive chem
ical industry devote their efforts
to promoting their own products.
But once each year, during
Chemical Progress Week. Gott-
shall continued, chemical COM
panies join in telling what the in
dustry as a whole is doing, and
what it is contributing to the ma
tion, our community and our in
dividual lives.
Even those of us who work in
the chemical industry are some
times surprised to see what we are
accomplishing. During this week,
we want to tell you some of the
basic facts about our industry"
AS part of the program for
Chemical Progress Week, indus
trial and scientific leaders will ad-
dress service club meetings and
high school assemblies throughout
the state.

EDUCATION WANTED

EAST LANSING, Mich. Up A
law school dean and a widely
known physician have criticized
educational preparation given law
and medical students.
Dean E. Blythe Stason, of the
University of Michingan law school,
and DR.. Ernest Irons, Chicago
physician and former president of
the American Medical Assn, spoke
at Michigan State Colleges CEN
tennial year symposium on general
education.
with few shining exceptions,
students come to law school un-
prepared Dean Stason said. They
are tragically often unable to
think; many cannot write we'll;
many cannot spell common words,
and many are uniformed about
facts of general knowledge. The
reading of classical literature has
almost disappeared from students
equipment"
Dr.. Irons said the increasing
flow of new scientific knowledge has
weighted medical education in favor
of science and has reduced the en-
phasis on cultural subjects such as
history, philosophy, languages and
literature.
This" DR.. Irons said, docs not

know his future patient as men and

Newsletter From
Sen. Allen Frear

WASHINGTON, D. c. United
States Senator j. Allen Frear said
today that salary increase for
postal workers and classified Fed
eral employees is deserved and that
he hopes that the President will
sign the legislation now before him
which will increase the compensa-
| tion of these employees.
In his weekly statement, Mr..
Frear expressed the view that if
the President vetoes the existing
| legislation, which was sent to the
White House last week, a further
indefinite delay will occur before
new legislation can be acted upon.
Mr.. Frear pointed out that al
though differences of opinion exist
ed among various organizations of
postal employees regarding the
merits of the bill, these groups now
appear to be in substantial agree
ment and are in favor of the exist
ing legislation.
On the subject of foreign affairs,
the Senator reviewed the past
weeks developments on the pro-
posed Big Four meeting and called
attention to the necessity for the
President and Secretary of State to
exercise the most careful judgment
on any agreements that might be
made affecting the United States.
Said Mr.. Frear: I'VE have had an
extensive amount of experience
since World War / in dealing with
international problems through the
medium of conferences. The degree
of success from these meetings is
attested to by what has happened
to the world in the past generation.
/ hope that every American citizen
will exercise personal responsible
ty to keep informed on this ap-
preaching conference, for decisions
could be reached there which could
profoundly affect the lives of all of
u.s."
The past week has been a most
significant one in the field of both
domestic and foreign affairs.
Of most widespread interest in
domestic legislation was the ap-
proval by the Senate and House of
Representative of the bill to in
crease salaries of the nations pos
tai workers. The action taken by
the Congress cleared the way for
consideration OF this bill by the
President. However, there are indi-
cations that Mr.. Eisenhower may
veto the measure since the amount
of the proposed pay raise is great
er than the. President recommended.
AS one who supported this bill. it
it my hope that the Chief Execu
tive will be able to give his approx
legislation-imperfect though it is
will meet just need.
Opinion on the merits of the bill
was divided within the various Or
ganizations whose membership
makes up Postal Department en-
ployees. However. a few hours prior
to the final consideration of this
bill by the Senate, l received a
wire signed by the representatives
of nine postal organizations re-
questing nay support of the legisla-
ton. If the President should veto
the bill and if the Congress sus-
tains that veto, then new legisla-
ton is expected to be offered.
Should this development occur
there will be. in all probability, an
extended delay before the new bill
is acted upon.
A further consideration in this
overall problem is the fact that a
bill to increase the pay af eiassi-

Polio Vaccine Now
Available to Doctors

Polio vaccine is now available
from family physicians, it was an
nounced this week but the present
supply of vaccine was such that it
could be administered only to chill
dren in the age group five through
nine.
There was no additional informa-
ton from the State Health depart
ment as to when the mass polio
shots would continue. DR.. Arthur
Jones said this morning that no
schedule had been arranged for
this.
According to the most recent an
nouncement 80 percent of the
initial proportion of available vac
cine would be used for free adj
ministration by the county and city
health departments, and 70 percent
would be distributed for use OF
physicians, hospitals, drug stores
and supply houses throughout the
state.
The policy for the Maryland State
Health Department adopted al
present is to postpone further vac
cinations until the seasonal evi
dence of the disease has sharply
declined.

40~Acre Section
OF Deep Creek
Again FishabIe
Area Apparently Clear Of
Retenone As Fish Return
To Hoop Pole Inlet

The d0-aCre arm of Hoop Pole
run OF. Deep Creek Lake which was
used last week for a probe of the
lakes fish life, did not remain void
of fish for any length of time, an
investigation has revealed.
Harold j. Elser, Department of
Research and Education for the
Game end Inland Fish commission,
reported Monday that the area was
again fishable on Sunday morning
a fisherman in the area at that
time caught a pumpkin seed, the
first to be noted since the rotenone
sufficient was dropped in the
waters of the lake last Wednesday
morning.
Elscr said the personnel of the
departments of the Board of Natu-
raj Resources remained on hand at
the lake until Sunday to complete
their tabulation of fish and their
examination of them.
The final count showed well over
two and one-half tons, or 5000
pounds of fish obtained during the
experiment and that at least Is
percent of the total was yellow
Perch.
A further analysis showed that
as of Sunday the harvest of fish
produced IS pounds per surface
acre, much more than expected
Some hatchery trout were obtained
during the final days of the study
The first day showed no trout
killed.
A complete report of the study
will not be available for about I
month. Mr. Elscr commented thai
he had no idea yet how the biolo
gists might cure the fishing trouble
He declared the situation was MOI
hopeless but that any cure NIGH

on the statement.
The probe was conducted to de

on why fishing since 1850 had beer
so poor. The present study was
planned to give definite approach
to the characteristics of the pOpu
lation and the general feeding
habits of the fish.
