in this conutry—has been perfected and proved in large-scale tests, Surgeon General Thomas Parran of the U. S. public health service announced today. Sulfathiazole, a member of the ‘sulfa-miracle” drug family, is credited by Dr. Parran with being capable of curing at least 80 per

cent of all gonorrhea infections.

Many of the remaining 20 per cent, he said, may be cured by another course of treatment with the same drug or by other special methods. The five-day cure originally was developed in the venereal disease research laboratory of the U. S. public health service, and has been confirmed by tests on thousands of patients in leading medical centers, Dr. Parran said. It is now being recommended for routine use by the medical profession, he said. “While no one knows exactly how many gonorrhea infections are acquired in this nation each year, available evidence indicates there are several million,” the surgeon general said. “In fact, the evi- | dence also shows that gonorrhea | occurs from three toc seven times {more often than syphilis.”

By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, April 6.—Japan’s

lombo, Ceylon, opened what

promises to be the most anxious week Washington has spent since that which followed Pearl Harbor four months ago. Military experts have long held

India would fall on Ceylon. From there, the Japanese are said to believe they could occupy, or at least knock out, Bombay and Madras; bottle up the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian sea, and cut the Indian ocean route to China and the Soviet Union. Ceylon, therefore, is of the utmost strategic importance. This week, too, will almost certainly bring the India crisis to a head with all this may mean to the united nations. It is now up to a handful of Indian leaders.

Their decision will affect not only

India’s 390,000,000 but threequarters of the population of the globe—including the people of China, Russia, the British common wealth of nations, the United States and associated powers. President Roosevelt is understood to be taking a hand in the matter and some sort of compromise is expected. Today, America is no longer merely an interested bystander. She is definitely involved. Her fighting men, her ships, her planes, her tanks are engaged in actual battle in and around the Indian ocean, helping to defend India against invasion, Since Pearl Harbor, more than 114 ships have been sunk by axis U-boats off the eastern coast of the Americas. In part this is due to American aid to India and to India’s defenders. The outcome of this week’s crisis in India, therefore, is of direct, perhaps even crucial, importance to the people of the United States.

Here on Way

Jack Dempsey, one-time heavyweight champion of the world, today suggested silence as a war-time virtue. He stopped in Indianapolis en route to Terre Haute, where he will referee wrestling matches tonight. “My advice to both civilians and to the boys in the armed services,” he said, “is to keep your mouth shut. There is entirely too much loose talk going on over the country. That's what the fifth

Keep Raising Goal

When the fifth truck load was hauled away from the scout room| it was discovered that the troop had collected 1850 pounds of scrap metal, 1920 pounds of waste paper, 3250 pounds of magazines and 1058 pounds of newspapers and corru-| gated boxes. With “ten tons” within reach, the boys were still unsatisfied and now their goal is “Double 10 Tons for the Fighting Men.” The large pile of waste materials now in the scout room approximates three tons which will raise the total to above 12 tons toward the “Double Ten” goal.
