And it all began when the professor started to rid his front lawn of crabgrass. Thé savant is Dr. Louis PF. Fieser, professor of chemistry at Harvard University. His chief peacetime interest had been the study of the so-called cancerogenic hydrocarbons, the chemical compound capable of producing . canoer in animals. His work had given the medical world a new line to investigate, the possibility that subtle changes in the chemical nature of certain substances in thedgody gperhaps the bile acids of the sex hormones, might play a major pole in the production of cancer.

THREE MONTHS before Pearl Harbor, ‘the army pir forces asked the chemical warfare service to undertake the development of new incendiary bombs and a number of university and industrial laboratories were asked by the chemical warfare service to work on the problem.

ances in Dr. Fieser's existence and his new work for the chemical warfare service made him think of at-tacking-the pesty weed with incendiary means. He first tried a minature flame-thrower, to be more exact, a plumber’s blowtdrch, But bending over gave him a crick in the back. Next he tried kerosene with poor results. Then gasoline. But the gasoline burned off in a flash and failed to destroy the roots of the crabgrass.

Realized He -Had Something

THAT GAVE him the idea to find some substance that could be added to the gasoline which would thicken it and cause it to burn more slowly. When "he found it, he realized that he had something of interest to the chemical warfare service rather than a means of burning out crabgrass. He and his team of five had been asked by the service to develop some easy means of starting campfires. They made up a three-inch cylinder of celluloid and filled it with a mixture of thickened

gasoline or “jellied gasoline” as it later becamel-

known, They fastened an ordinary match head to the cylinder, The cylinder furnished a hot flame that burned for six minutes and the device was suceessful in starting a fire with wet wood. One idea led to another and by February, 1942, Dr. Fieser and his assistants were working on the idea of incendiary bombs loaded with jeilied gasoline. Considerable improvements were made in the original compound for thickening the gasoline and in its present form it is a white powder in the form of beads or granules that look no more deadly than gasoline.

BIG FIVE VETO ‘POWER HIT BY SMALL STATES

Britain Offers Hope That Formula Is Only Temporary.

BY ER. H. SHACKFORD United Press Staff Corresposdent

SAN FRANCISCO, May 18. Great Britain is holding out hope to little countries at the United Nations conference that the veto power of the Big Five may gradually be abandoned as the world organization grows, it was learned today. Neither Britain nor any other Big Five nation has any intention of yielding now to modification of the voting formula for the security council. : It was adopted by the Big Three at Yalta and grants each of the Big Five nations a veto over virtually any decision by the security council. But the little nations have served notice that their acceptance of the voting formula—if Recessary—wil be only acquiescence. The long-awaited debate on this

His defense was based on the theme that the unanimity of the Big Five is needed at this time if the world organization is to succeed. { The special position. of the big powers can be justified, he said, by realizing that they represent more than half of the world’s population.

Liberalized Later

Any falling out of the big powers would result in war anyway, he argued, and the unanimity rule among them is especially needed in the early stages of the organization. Cadogan hinted that as the organization grows and commands

can be progressively liberalized. Britain has never hidden the fact that she believes the big powers should give up all their veto power over decisions involving arrangements for peaceful settlement of disputes. Australia asked reconsideration of the part of the formula which allows one of the Big Five to veto peaceful settlements of disputes not involving itself. Long Debate Seen The Netherlands asked especially that the formula be revised to allow the couneil to brand one of the Big Five an aggressor if necessary. Debate onthe voting formula in the closed sessions of the committee is expected to go on for several days. Thus far, however, it has brought to the forefront of the conference a new subject after days of turmoil in high quarters over the compromise formula on regional arrangements and trusteeships. Conference action on the regional formula has been delayed since Tuesday night because of failure of Moscow to instruct the Russian delegation here how to vote.

A Big Five meeting scheduled for {her

yesterday was suddenly canceled because -of no - word from" the Kremlin. The conference committee on the regional issue is scheduled to meet this afternoon and the United States may present the formula on its own and not wait for Russia’s reply. The delay ‘caused considerable worry in high quarters lest the Russians create another crisis over the’ regional issue by belatedly deciding not to approve it. The formula would allow the inter-American system to operate in self defense in cases where the security council failed to maintain the peace, but would in general recognize supremacy of the world organization over any regional group. Fundamental Issues

The trusteeship issue again was bogged down by the new discord among the big powers. China and Russia sought to make the objective of the trusteeship system the eventual self-govern-ment and independence of all de~ pendent peoples. Britain and the United States disapproved of the word “indépendence.” Cmdr, Harold E. Stassen of the U. 8. delegation finally intervened, reminding the delegates that the success of the whole conference was

dependent upon agreement of the|

big powers on fundamental issues; that the working paper on trusteeships ted the maximum area of agreement by the big pow-

ers. He insisted that the Chinese amendment went beyond the working paper and served notice that

te ‘United States would oppose it.

In the aggregate, the German devastation is so tremendous that neither we nor anyone else would be able again to make the blunder of putting Germany completely on. her industrial feet for some years

THE PROBLEM arises, therefore, what happens to a nation of 82,000,000 which is not to become an industrial nation again as far ahead as anyone can See. The answer is that there is bound to be chaos in Europe which cannot be avoided and until we compose ourselves to that fact and abandon the assumption that any kind of tranquillity can immediately follow such a long war we are liable to belittle the success of our victory’s results in behalf of mankind. Further, because Germany is the hardest hit we may somehow forget that by every moral right the Germans should remain at the bottom of the list in any welfare work or feeding we do over here. Surely, any new German economy will be far more heavily weighed on the rural side and her old-time markets will pass mostly into hands of the British, the Russians, and the French. . Meanwhile, there is no easy solution to the so-called German problem in terms of human welfare. For in the last great blow against this. industrial nation, thé seeds of the basic German economy have gone with the wind.
