new drugs, the committee recommends some immediate steps. They include intensive casefinding, establishment of special treatment clinics in states where the disease flourishes, out-patient treatment of cases no longer infectious, periodic examinations of discharged patients, and continued research into cause and cure. ' At Carville, the new drug streptomycin is being used experimentally, with the hope that it, too, will become a weapon against leprosy. Other research includes tests on the way that
the disease is transmitted from one person to another. The committee says one of the biggest factors in treatina leD-
rosy is to provide pleasant sur
roundings for the patients. Lepers respond to treatment faster if
they live a ' regulated life and have 'a nutritious diet, sanitary
environment, rest periods and frequent medical attention. Above all, the experts favor early diagnosis. With the use of the sulfa 'drugs, leprosy patients can be cured in from 18 months to ;four years if the disease is promptly spotted. - - The average patient at Carville has had leprosy for five vears

HOW SECRET MECHANISMS of the atom bomb were made and assembled in two "unsuspected" :bu.iJings In the heart of Detroit is being told by the Detroit Times in a copyrighted story. In vvhat ap- . peared to be a vacant department store building on Woodward avenue, above, the intricate mechanism that explodes atomic energy was assembled with the bomb itself. Workers entered the building from . a door, right above, opening on an alley. The work of designing the intricate mechanism was done on a floor of the Murphy building, an office structure on Congress street To confuse saboteurs, the government constructed a $10,000,000 "dummy" plant northeast of the Motor City.

No matter how sincere their purpose or how worthy their cause, playwrights who set out to dramatize headline news ' or world affairs almost invariably find that reportorial details interfere with the dramatic impact they planned. ,. - "Temper the Wind" Is no exception. - Here, Edward Mabley and Leonard Mins pick up a subject so hot that the mere backwash of discussion is likely to bring cus-' tomers to the box office of tht . Playhouse for weeks to come. IiT the fewest possible words, the, question they raise and in a loud voice concerns the danger of helping to rebuild the German armaments plants. They ask: "Is Germany going to be allowed to . do it all over again?" And this is a question worthy of the most serious consideration. In fact, within a few days of the play's opening, Mr. Paul Tripp, - who plays Sgt. Edward Green and who ' was with the Signal Corps in the war, went on the air to repeat the refrain and one of the higher bracket radio soothsayers was telling his audience about a group of American bankers who were becoming interested in German investments.. ' : ; ' 1 -' All of which steps up the play's topicality. But the authors have mixed together so many elements and characters that they wind up by telling a story in the manner of a dozen news ; dispatches rather than following a direct line for one powerful wallop. 1 Their key American character Is a U. S. colonel attached to the military government of a Bavarian town. It is his considered verdict that, under no circumstances
Is Germany to be allowed to fight
again, or given an opportunity to try. The town's industrial chief Is an ex-Nazi munitions maker who insists that his heart was not with the Nazis. And hence, the
entire problem of denazification,
cartels and military 'government is tossed over the. footlights into
the laps of the audience. Furthermore, there's an Amer
ican businessman, seeking trade,' who wants this particular plant"
to be cleared of all suspicion and
restorea to operation. To do this would relieve the headaches of the Lt. Col. Woodruff who is run
ning affairs. For-resumption of
industry would ! give re-employ ,
ment to the jobless of this idle town.. However, Col. Woodruff, refuses and there is a local riot
In addition to events concern-"
ing cartels of the past and of the possible future; a daughter of the industrialist and an inflexible
Prussian iaunt, beautifully played
by Blanche Yurka, there are an
assortment of hale-withinhate
characters from Czechs to Germans.
This ' is definitely a : political
play, with lines definitely drawn by the writers. Its reception by New York critics Ms been varied.
Certainly it is thought provoking.
' Broadway,: for reasons' best
known to assoi'ted writers,' has'
been clutteted lately-with angels
and disembodied spirits roving
the earth. Thus, in "Toplitzky of
Notre Dame," an angel gets an
earthly furlough and arranges to join up with the ''fighting Irish
men" in time to beat Army by
engaging in such supernatural practices as making a forward
pass which he then catches or malting a drop kick of 150 yards. Then there was the ill-fated 'Wonderful Journey," which was f asihioned from the film, "Here Comes Mr. Jordan," in which a heavenly spirit, with nothing to do, moves in on a prizefighter. . Finally, and the one work of art, is a new film, "Road to Heaven," a truly superlative production sent over from England. In' this,' an air combat fighter who has dropped from his plane into channel waters, lingers between life and death and, hence, between heaven and earth. Through the employment of technicolor for the earth scenes and greyish-cloudy effects for heaven, something . completely . new in cinematic presentation la achieved. '

But the charges agaihst Messrs. Ralls, Arrezo and' Rosen, myself, were dismissed though our certificates were canceled. 1 Poor we were, except for the one bar of gold Ralls had failed to declare. Eventually we disposed of it and out of the business came the Quean of Melbourne, an aged but healthy craft which we planned to use to tear the bullion from Neptune's bosom. - On board her we sailed the seas from Singapore to the Fijis waiting for our chance. We took a try at anything and were interested that night in the Rabaul pub when the lellow at the bar told a tale of a remote lagoon. "Full of

We moored her to a neglected bamboo wharf. ' There was another ship in the lagoon, a beautiful yacht with the legend Flores Tandjoeng of Soerabaja. Strangely, she seemed deserted;' We were studying her when a noise caused me to snap my eyes forward. A weird procession approached in the lead was a two-hundred-pound man in a wheelchair.
