RESIGNATION of Ed Jaeckel, New York state Republican chairman, may presage seyeral important changes in the G. O. P. picture there. F. D.

It all adds up to this: If Dewey is to be re-elected governor In ’46—an essential sphingboard for possible 1948 hopes—the New York organization will have to be much stronger than in the campaign just past, The governor hasn't always played ball with local party leaders as some thought’ he should and there'll be pressure for greater co-operation here, »

A task force was seen leaving Japanese home waters to “give the American fleet its coup de grace,” but, the navy said, when the force's fliers saw the size of the surviving U. 8. fleet the enemy fleet fled.

SPURS OUTPUT OF PENICILLIN

Invention Assures Steady Production at Fixed Rate of Speed.

CHICAGO, Nov. 18 (U. P.)~Dr. George H. Brown, Princeton, N. J., research engineer of the Radio Corporation of America, announced today that he has invented an allelectric drying unit which in one month can exceed the combined monthly production of all the penicillin plants operating in the U. 8. six months ago. ~~ ° Dr. Brown told an audience at the national chemical exposition that ready-to-use ampules of the drug can be obtained at the rate of 220,000,000 Oxford units an hour from a single electronic installation requiring 400 square feet, less floor space than the average business office, . ‘ He said the system, based on the electronio science of radio-fre-quency heating; reduces the concentrated penicillin solution to a dry state for shipment. It was constructed prineipally from a rotator, & vacuum chamber,” metal belts, electronic plates, a revolving table and radio heat chambers. Cheaper to-Operate “The - whole setup works on a push-button arrangement and may be started or stopped at will with= out. endangering the drug under process,” Dr. Brown said. “But its great advantages are that it affords a continuous production at a fixed rate of speed, necessitates only a fraction of the floor space required by the conventional freeze-drying

below that of the other systems. Charles F. Kettering, vice president of General Motors Corp, in chafge of research and engineering, told the conference last night that schools © should begin teaching science of chemistry in the second grade, Chemists, he said, should translate their science into common everyday language in order that the child may learn early the rudiments of chemistry Instead of spending years regarding it as' a mystery.

Brig. Gen, Frank. T. Hines, administrator of veterans' affairs, told members of the American Legion national executive committee in opening session today .that over - 24,000 veterans already have applied for additional schooling. Provisions of the G. L bill o* rights include an education pro gram for which this number ha - made application to Oct, 81, the administrator reported. A number of resolutions sub mitted by six standing nationa committees were approved at th: session today. One resolution urges the veterans administration to provide funds for enabling veterans to remove edu(cational deficiencies. Such educa[tion would be provided by local gragle and high school units.

Loan Measure Passed

Another resolution was approved providing for the exemption of disabled veterans from certain existent conditions relative to government loans. The resolution further urges that compensation due to these veterans not be cancelled against gov-

or withheld in payment toward such | debts, American Legion posts and offi|clals are requested in another reso{lution to be on guard against socalled veterans’ charitable organizations that may or may not be soliciting funds for rehabilitation work.

Other resolutions request a joint rehabilitation ocnference” between officials of the Legion and veterans’ administration, the time and place to be decided later, and another conference on rehabilitation by the Legion standing committee on that subject to be held at Washington in February,

Many Found Eligible

Gen. Hines in his address further disclosed that of the veterans applying for additional schooling, 17,723 have found to be eligible. ‘A total of 5681 of those who have applied already were enrolled in schols throughout the countty, the general added. A dinner will be given at 7 p. m. tonight in the Indianapolis Athletic club by National Commander Edward N. Scheiberling for members of the national executive committee.
