wise washing them in warm
water to make them look

Home Conditions
In her experiments, she
tried to duplicate ordinary
home laundry conditions,
such as the clothes hamper.
DR.. McNeil's laboratory in
cludes one piece Of equip
ment any homemaker would
recognize as an electric
blender.
But she doesn't use 1t for
mixing cocktails or chopping
vegetables. DR.. Mcneil noted
with laugh.
THE blender macerates
the scraps Of fabric used in
the tests and helps free the
bacteria from the fibers,"
she explained.

BY FRANCES LIDE
Star staff Writer

Grandmother had the right
idea about the family wash
at least so far as sanitation
is concerned.
Her old-fashioned practice
Of boiling clothes was sue
cessful in routing several
types of bacteria which sur
vive today's home laundry
methods, according to DR..
Ethel Mcneil, bacteriologiSt
with the Agriculture Depart
ment's Institute of Home
Economics.
How to find a shortcut
substitute for the boiling pro-
cedure was a probelm DR..
Mcneil decided to tackle sew
eral years ago.
After extensive tests she
discovered that the addition Of
> either of two disinfectantS to
warm wash water removes
most of the bacteria from
fabrics.
i Chemically known as phe-
.nolic and quarternary COM
pounds. the disinfectants are
becoming available to con-
sumers under various retail
trade names.
Common Sense
DR.. Mcneil advises a COM
nonsense approach to the
use Of such disinfectants.
The homemaker should
take precautions. she said,
when there is an infection
in the family. the school or
the community. Those who
use coin-operated laundry ia
scilities in apartment houses
or other public places need
to exercise special care II
there Is any reason to Sus-
ipect a health hazard, she
suggested.
4 Always interested In san
itation, DR.. Mcneil started
wondering about home laun-
dries shortly after she left
the academic field four years
ago to join the Agricultural
Research Service at Beltsville.
Md. (She heads the Bacteri-
lology Unit Of the Textile and
Clothing laboratory
One of her first steps was
Ito go around and take a look
for herself. Her conclusion:
Those who use communal
home laundry facilities don't
. always leave them in good
condition for the next per-
son.
Research done some years
ago had indicated that one
way Of transmitting bacteria
I is through laundering. But
DR.. Mcneil had to be sure,
so she initiated a series Of
experiments using three types
of bacteria on three types
of fabrics-cotton sheeting,
swatches of wool blanketing
and synthetic fiber.
I Bacteria
The bacteria tested we're

Mobilization of Corregidor as nat
ional shrine and .ourist center.
He has submitted So. S million
proposal to develop the island over
a three-to-five year period through
a government corporation andpri-
vate capital. Funds would be used
to continue "demilitarization" of
the island, clearing it of live shells
and dud bombs, repairing the
roads, restoring its utilities. land
scaping and beautifying the ruins.
Private investors then could
come in with their developments.
eff. the island is developed" Lii
wanag said in an interview. "trans-
portation will take its own course. "
Special ferry boats, built with
Japanese reparationpayments are
the most likely means of getting
tourists out to Corregidor, which
lies an hour or more from M anila.
Defense Secretary Alejo S. San
tos, who h e d the c orr egidor
Shrines CommiS sion, also is seek
ing civic help in the development.
''Corregidor is very clos e to
our hearts," said the onetime e
guerilla chieftain. "We pinned
every hope of victory on it. "
Santos and others also are wri-
ting to American congressman for
help in giving Corregidor eat least
a face-lifting."
''The defenders fought almost
beyond human endurance" Santos
said. 1--WE want Corregidor to be a
landmark of courage, the symbol of
a free people willing to fight.

Action on Water

Action has been scheduled in the
next few weeks by the House Inter-
ior Committee on lmo s. half
billion dollars worth of reclama-
ton projects.
Rep. Wayne Aspinall, D-Colo.,
chairman of the House Interior
Committee, gave the wing
schedule for the projects: the
Burns Greek Project in Idaho to be
considered May l5-l6: the Frying
pan--Arkansas Project in Colo
RADIO on May 1919: and the San Juan

ject on June l-2.
Chairman of the subcommittee
Rep. Walter Rogers, D-Tex., said
May Is would be used for complet-
ing hearings on the SAT million
Burns Greek projec May l6.
according to Rogers, will be de-
voted to getting the mea sure in final
shape for full committee action.
The author of the bill, Rep.
Oracle Pfost, D-Idaho, is very
hopeful of full committee appro-
val on this project. A public versus
private power fight ha developed in
the project. The project is located
on the Snake River in southea stern
Idaho.
Rep. Rogers statedthat only one

Indian Conf. From Pg. l

Wrongs of the past must be
mdone wherever possible: Indians
whose economic resources have
been taken away need financial
help, but they want to manage their
own affairs.
--Mea Sures must be taken i'm
mediately to protect all Indians
rights as theyhave never beenpro-
tected before. and to help the In
dian people achieve better health,
education and economic wellbeing.
--Indian ways are right ways
for Indians. Some will always want
special protection against loss of
culture, community rights and re-
sources.
Prepar atory meetings for the
conference have been held in Wash
ington, Nebraska. Oklahoma, Wis
consin, Arizona, Montana, Penn
sylvania, North Carolina and Neva-
da.
sWhat becom es of the big ga
thering is anyone's guess" Tax
said. ''There is no predicting what
the Indians of America--Seneca,
Sioux, Cheyenne, Grow, Navajo.
Tlingit, and others--may find in
common when they finally meet, by
the hundreds, face to face"
Navajo times., 1961-05-10

al meetings the feeling was ''al-
most universal dissati sfaction with
the present organization of the
Bureau of India Affairs and it's
field operations" The chairman
of the committee Is Darcy Nc
Nickle of Boulder, Colorado.
The drafting committee propo-
sed replacing the commission with
a national Indian commi ssion. This
commission would be appointed by
the President from panel sub
mitted by Indians or by an adviS-
ory committee. This advisory
committee would be made up of one
member of each of the nine Indian
regions. The Secretary of the Inter-
ior would appoint the members of
the advisory committee, with the
approval of the tribes in each reg
ion.

CORREGIDOR, Philippine Is
lands - This battle-scarred
''Rock'' which fell to the japanese
in the early days of World War II
harbors the ghosts of Corregidor's
gallant defenders, according to
Filipinoes who live here.
The jungle is rec1aiming this
tadpole haped island and its
ruined fortific ations athwart the
entranc to Manila Bay. Only
small Filipino Marine detachment,
family of government caretakers
and firewood cutters live within
Corregidor's three square miles of
desolation.
b. day and by night, they vow,
they have seen the WOUNDED d and
have heard them moaning in pain.
The inhabitants of the Rock say they
have heard the marching of troops
and dragging of chains. A red
haired woman in beautiful gown
and nurse in Red Cross uniform
have appeared and vanished in sill
ence.
Florentino R. Das, Luaon's su-
perWiSor of touriSm, and his wife
live in the islands resthouse, the
first facility in government pro-
posal to enshrine Corregidor's
ruins as memorial.
Three days after firewood cut
rers saw the bleeding and wounded
running all about the place." re-
lates Das, he and his wife seemed
to hear men in pain.
sit was bright moonlight night,
shortly after rain, says Das.
'FThe sound seemed to befar away,
toward Maiinta Tunnel"
After a thorough investigation of
the premises, Das S continued, he
discounted the possibility of an an
imal moving through the grass or
wind among the trees.
Filipino soldiers training on the
island say they have nearly brushed

hours. and taut tempers, had not
SB zoo been introduced. To assess
blame for the fight is irrelevant to
the point of this column.
contend the virtues or lack of
them of SB 206 are not involved
in the introduction of this bill. When
I suggested this was the case to the
executive secretary of the council
l was smartly snapped at and was
left gazing at the back of another
head. F @ a
SB 2O6 is at best controversial, and
the people who are affected by it
will have no opportunity to appear
before a legislative committee or
present any views on the matter.
1t is my understanding the legis-
lative council had considered intro
duction of this bill early in the ses-
sion but decided against it because
they were interested in trying to get
other legislation through and did not
want to get involved in this issue.
There is contention the present
law that SD 2O6 amends is patiently
unconstitutional" If it is, and [ am
not arguing that it is or isn't, it
should have due legislative process.
The legislative council has been con-
sidering this section of the codes
for some time. The legislative council
knows better than to bring in bill
that affects many people, at the last
minute.
