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 treating leprosy is to provide pleasant surroundings 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 years before he enters the leprosarium. Even so, 38 per cent of the 137 patients who have received promin treatment for more than two years have shown definite improvement, reacting negatively to leprosy tests; Promin Much Faster Promin is a much faster and more effective method Of treatment than chaulmoogra oil, previously used ' almost univers

HOW SECRET MECHANISMS of the atom bomb were made and assembled In two "unsuspected" fundings, in the heart of Detroit is being told by the Detroit Times in a copyrighted story. In what appeared 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. In, 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 telline his audience about a
group of American bankers who
were becoming interested in uerman investments.. ' 1 ; ' 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
militarv crovernment of a Bavar
ian town. It is his considered ver
dict 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

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 restored to operation. To do this would relieve the headaches of
the Lt. Col. Woodruff who is run

In addition to events concern-.
ing cartels of the past and of the possible future; a daughter of the industrialist and an inflexible Prussian aunt, beautifully played
by Blanche Yurka, there are an
assortment of hate-withinhate
characters from Czechs to uer-mans.
This is definitely a political
play, "with lines definitely drawn
by the writers, its reception Dy New York critics has been varied.
Certainly it is thought provoking.

Broadwav.: for reasons' best
known to assorted writers,' has'
been clUtteted lately-with angels
and disembodied spirits roving
the- earth. Thus, in "Toplitzlcy 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 making a drop kick of 150 yards.
Then there was tne m-iaiea
'Wonderful Journey," which was fashioned 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 ol
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 Is achieved.

Eventually we disposed or 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.
