If the County won't repair the property, the tenants will have to move out.” Mr. Ralston smiled wanly when fisked about the property. “I've been harassed to death &bout those houses,” he said. *“People have been calling me up and making a fuss. What can we do?” The auditor then revealed that flthough the County is charged With the trusteeship of the property, no provision is made for the County to spend money for repairs. Mr. Ralston admitted he feared to authorize a large expenditure because someone might declare it iliegal “and make trouble for me.” He added that he believed that the Health Board ought to take down the signs because there are hundreds of properties in the County in similar condition which are not condemned. “I don’t know what we're going to do,” he said. “But we'll do the best we can.”

NAZI-GATHOLIC RIFT GROWS IN HOLLAND

BERLIN, April 20 (U. P.).—A growing rift was reported today between the Catholic hierarchy of Holland and Dutch members of the Nazi Party over the Church's refusal to permit burial in Catholic cemeteries of Nazis slain in streetfighting. (A Vatican radio broadcast, heard by the Columbia Broadcasting System in New York, reported that any Dutch Catholic who joined the Nazi movement would be denied religious ceremonies if he died unrepentant). It is understood that the Church frequently has taken occasion in sermons to emphasize that membership in the Nazi Party is not in accordance with the Church’s principles. A memorandum detailing the situation in Holland reportedly

Principal steel producers were busy with rearmament orders, their wage questions settled for the time at least with recent granting of a 10-cent hourly wage increase.

G. M. Parley Continues

In the automotive field, the United Automobile Workers (C. I. 0.) was authorized by its locals to strike if necessary to enforce demands for wage increases from General Motors Corporation, but had promised to defer such action for “a reasonable time” pending further negotiations. Leaders of General Motors and the union were to submit written proposals today to Federal Conciliator James F. Dewey, who is in Detroit seeking settlement of contract differences before Friday. President R. J. Thomas of the U. A. W.-C. I. O. said the union and General Motors still were “far apart on several issues.”

Out of laboratories during the last World War came chemicals

that diseased and incapacitated soldiers, but no chemical warfare has thus far been waged during this struggle. The reason, according to Dr. Louis Schwartz, head of the office of dermatosis investigation for the U. S. Public Health Service, is that peacetime laboratories have devised protections against any gases that yet have been used in war. Synthetic resins have been perfected that will shut out even mustard gas for as long as two hours, he said. Maybe you own some of this material. You do, if you wear ‘one of the new lightweight, tranclusion or transparent raincoats that fold up and slip into your pocket. Dr. Schwartz, who lectured last night at the Indiana University Medical Center at the annual post graduate medical course, said that jumper suits of this material probably would be on the market for civilians if war came here. They would practically nullify any attack of poison gas of a type yet used. But this material was not developed to protect you and your families against a possible gas attack. It was developed to protest industrial workers against industrial diseases. Other uses to which it has been put were products of the main objective.

THERE'S THE WIND-UP. And here’s the pitch—an inside slant from baseball's master moundsman, Cincinnati’s famous “Bucky” Walters: “My cigarette has to be mild, naturally. Camels give me extra mildness—and they're full of flavor.” Extra mildness—less nicotine in the smpke...28% less

The net result, Dr. Schwartz, said, is that there will be only about 10 to 15 per cent of the number of cases of industrial disease per 1000 employees in defense industries this time as there

were last time.

Dr. Schwartz said this is important since it that it takes about 17 civilian workers to supply each man on the battle line with the tools of war and to keep him in the

battle.

He said there is no country on earth today that has any better knowledge of how to protect industrial workers than the United States. And the synthetic resins are a great factor in this. Other synthetic resins, he said, are nylon, some types of rayon, the new “glass” belts and clothing accessories, celluloid and others. Schwartz everyone against getting too blithe about the protection for soldiers and civilians alike against the known type of poison gases. “If any of the belligerents introduce chemical warfare in this struggle, it almost surely will be something as yet unused and something that will penetrate all these known protectives, he said.
