Canada Clears AntibiOtic to Cut Fish Spoilage

NEW YORK, R = The Ameri- can Cyanamid Go. reported today the Canadian government has cleared the use of its antibiotic "Acronize" process to cut spoil age in Canada's 25 million dollar fish industry.
 The process, which involves use of small quantities of aureomycin, an antibiotic, has already been approved in the United States for use on poultry. Other formulas are now being developed for use on red meat and other perishable foods.
 American Cyanamid said the process cleared by Canadian of ficials requires the addition of only AS grams of Acronize to water that will be frozen into 300 pounds of ice. The company said cost would amount to about two dollars per ton of ice.
 The Acronize process makes it possible to keep fish fresh at least week longer than ordinary re- frigeration, American Cyanamid said. It will be made available to the Canadian fishing industry immediately, the company said, but only through a franchise ar engagement requiring strict sani- tary standards.
 The company said it set high standards to ensure top quality for Acronized products and to eli minate the chance that Acronize might be used as a substitute for sound and sanitary processing.

Unity Is Sought
On Boys Clubs

The Commissioners will meet
at 3 pm. Monday to discuss
possibilities of migrating the
Metropolitan Police Boys Clubs.
Comforting with the city heads
at the District Building will be
Thomas G. Carney. president of
the boys clubs.
Eugene Davidson, president of
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
has leveled an attack on Mr..
Carney in a letter to Commits
sioner Robert E. Mclaughlin.
At meeting on April 10, Mr..
Mclaughlin said Mr.. Carney had
made plans the week before for
conferences with Negro youth
leaders to discuss indignation of
the boys clubs. He urged the
representatives of the NAACP
to await the outcome Of those
meetings.
Letter Made Public
In a letter to Mr.. Mclaughlin,
made public yesterday. Mr..
Davidson cited statements he
had received from Laurence F.
Hunt. executive director of the
Twelfth Street YMCA. Mr..
Hunts letter of May 81 said that
Mr.. Carney had told him on
May Is that, since the directors
|of the boys clubs had not yet
taken action in favor of integra-
ton of the clubs, "the board
members could not very well
discuss procedures to effectuate
indignation"
Mr.. Hunt wrote that a meet
ing he had been trying to ar
range between Mr.. Carney and
some of the board members had
fallen through.
Doubts Good Faith
Mr.. Davidson wrote Commits
sioner Mclaughlin that this Sug-
gestS MIR. Carney has never had
any intentions of comforting with
Negro leaders to work out plans
for integration." He said Mr..
Carney'S alleged statement to
you Of such intentions was not
made in good faith. but for the
purpose of hoodwinking the
Commissioners into inaction on
our reported requests that tax
payers money not be used to sup
port a segregated operation"
He urged the Commissioners
to withdraw all official aid from
the clubs.

degree heat Tuesday and his
death that night.

In relating an account of the
hours preceding young Everett's
death the center public informa-
ton officer, 1t. C. E. White, did
not use the word disciplinary
but rather "retraining" to de-
scribe the rifle drill.
1t. White said the drill was
ordered because Everett, in the

Senator Young said he was

there could be no substance to
the charges. he added. The
Senator had asked for the COM
mittee's inquiry.
Hearing Seen Ridiculous
Mr.. Simons told reporters that
a hearing on the charges was
ridiculous He said it was
merely a North Dakota political
squabble" and that "sell-out'
charges were a part of the
standard vernacular" in the

! Senator Mcclellan said the
committee had instructed its
staff to turn its attention to
Ieight organizations which were
active in the natural gas contro-
versy- four for the legislation
and four against. He withheld

which unfolded to place two passengers
right next to the accident. Under this hung
another of those filmed pipe radiators.
5. In 1906 Europe still led the world in
automobile manufacturing, and if you were
wealthy enough you imported your Mer-
cedeS from Germany, your Napier from
England, your Panhard or Renault from
France. This cozy little vehicle had its four
cylinder engine out front under a proper
hood, but its radiator was behind the engine
next to Armand. the imported chauffeur.
Poor Armand sat out in the rain without
even a windshield to keep the rain off
his muStaches. The passengers sat in the
glaSS-encloSed greenhouse aft, built high
enough so that they could enter in dignity
while wearing their talleSt top hats.
6. Almost everybody claims that his grand
father took him riding in his Stanley
Steamer. This is impossible because only
a few thousand were ever built. Another
myth claims that the Stanley company
would give you bags Of gold if you could
hold one of their machines at full speed for
a mile or so. This would have been very
easy way to bankrupt the Stanley Brothers
for very few of their regular cars would go
faster than 60 mph. In 1907, however, one
of their racing cars bettered 100 before it
flew to pieces at Daytona Beach, Fla. The
boiler of the Stanley was under the hood,
the two-cylinder steam engine was coupled
to the rear axle. The man in the picture on
page 7 is Syphoning up water because the
boiler needed refilling every 50 miles or so.
There are stories about steamers being
forced out of business by the gasoline-car
manufacturers; but this too is untrue. The
steamer was delightful to drive, but with its
many gauges, valves, miles of tubing. the
necessity of lighting fire and waiting for
the water to boil, the steam car was a
nuisance, and hhdf'S why it disappeared.
7. The WEIGH was a powerful, luxurious
machine with a four-cylinder 5O-horSe-
power engine of unique design. 1t had
inclined valves in hemiSpherical combus-
ton chambers and the valves were actuated
by rockers from an overhead camShaft.
This feature was adopted by most racing
cars years later. The transmission of the
WEIGH, too, was unique in having an indi-
viduaI clutch for each speed; the correct
clutch land therefore, gea) being selected
