New Uses Found For 'Wonder Drug' Sulfanilamide Credited With Curing Case of Malta Fever. OREGON PRIMARY HAS LABOR ISSUE Governor Who Warred on "Terrorism" Seeking Renomination.

Washington, May 13. Sulfanilamide, the chemical which has already saved thousands of lives, was credited today by three Virginia physicians with the conquest of two more severe diseases. A small girl in Alexandria, who was almost at the point of death from streptococcus infection of the brain was given huge doses of the drug as a last resort She was well and back with her playmates within 10 days. A Negro man in Richmond. afflicted with undulant, or Malta, fever as the result of drinking un-pasteuerized milk, was also given large doses of sulfanilamide.

After 11 days of treatment the fever, regarded by medical authorities as a difficult disease to treat, disappeared and he was dismissed from the hospital shortly after. New I'se Discovered. Dr. James W. Love of Alexandria announced the successful treatment, of the girl in the Journal of Laboratory and Clinical Medicine.

The drug had previously been said authoritatively to have no effect on the nonhemolytic strain of the streptococcus gern which she had aeouired. It has MISS MARY ROSE LUCID will have one of the leading roles in a play, "Squelched But Not Squashed," to be given by the St. Philip ri Parish Sodality at 2:80 o'clock tomorrow afternoon and at 8:15 o'clock tomorrow night, in the parish hall. The play was written by John Galvin, a member of the parish and is under direction of Mrs. Fxlith I-aRue.

Salem, May 13. Governor Charles H. Martin, 74-year-old retired major general, will know Friday whether his war against labor terrorism, which resulted in the indictment of 73 persons, bears the approval of Oregon's Democratic voters. On that day, the Democrats will decide whether to renominate the rotund, white-haired Governor, whose sole campaign promise is to "develop Oregon by freeing union members from leeches and bloodsucking vampires." Opposing him are Former State Senator Henry L.

Hess of La Grande, backed by the State Federation of Labor and the CIO, and State Representative O. Henry Oleen of St. Helens, self-styled "Farmer-Labor" candidate. The major fight of the primary, In which voters will nominate Republican and Democratic candidates for congressional and state offices, is between Hess and Martin. 100 Indictment Voted.

One hundred indictments have been returned against the 73 persons charged in a wave of Oregon labor terrorism. There have been 37 guilty and 29 innocent pleas, 31 have been given penitentiary and jail terms, including A. N. Banks, Salem teamster leader, sentenced to 12 years in the penitentiary for burning a lumber plant which had not signed up with his union. The Hess forces accused Martin of playing politics in his labor cleanup, and charged that he was not in sympathy with President Roosevelt's aims.

Martin cleams he is a New Dealer, but asserts that some of the President's aids are not loyal. The Governor has no use for Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins, whom he termed "that miserable secretary," and he told the been used successfully, however, on the hemolytic, or blood-destroying, form of the germ. The Alexandria physician said his labor clean-up, the employes voted lor the AFL and went to work. The Governor's military campaigns included the Boxer rebellion, the Philippine insurrection, the Mexican border and World wars. He retired from the army in 1927, being elected to Congress from the First Oregon district (Portland) in 1030 and 1932.

In 1934 he became Governor. Republicans lead the Democrats 265,132 to in registration totals, but Democrats have cut the Republican lead since the advent of the New Deal in 1933 from to 16,963.

The mills were closed last August after the NLRB certified the CIO as bargaining agent.

The AFL he had given the 6's -year-old girl 970 grains of the drug within six days, an amount previously believed to be highly dangerous. She recovered quickly and showed no after effects. "In spite of this enormous dosage the patient rallied rapidly and, except for a continuation of a transient weakness several days after withdrawal, no harmful effects were noted," he said. Writing in the Southern Medical Journal, Dr. Elam C.

Toone Jr. and Dr. Arthur M. Jenkins of the Medical College of Virginia at Richmond said they had brought about a similarly quick recovery in the patient suffering from undulant fever by dosing him with 450 grain of sulfanilamide over a period of 11 days. Responds to This disease, which manifests itself by extreme weakness and great variations in temperature, responded quickly to the drug, they said, with the temperature sliding down quickly from a maximum of 104 degr ees to normal.

Some symptoms of undulant fever resemble those of malaria, which has also recently, been successfully treated with sulfanilamide. Malaria is largely confined, however, to the Southern states while undulant fever occurs throughout the country, being caused by the same germ which results in Bang's disease, or contagious abortion, in cattle. Almost simultaneously Dr. Per-rin H. Long of Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, told the District of Columbia Medical Society that he is now convinced that sulfanilamide does not cause any lasting or harmful effects even when given in large quantities.

Dr. Long and Dr. Eleanor Bliss, also of Johns Hopkins, did the first experimental work on the drug in the United States after it. was first teamsters boycotted the mill prod At 110, Barefoot Woman Enjoys Her Pipe, Wine Dublin, May 13. Mrs.

Dublin reports that five of her seven children are alive, and the total age of these and the mother is 480 years. nets, paralyzing the state's great timber industry. In December the mill employes, at an election sponsored by the Governor, voted for the CIO, and the industry remained idle.

Artificial "earthquakes" porduced by high explosives may be an early concern of a scientific world distraught by the object lessons of air-bombing in Spain and China.

The terrific raids at Guernica, Madrid and Barcelona have suggested theoretical questions whether the gravity force of a deluge of two-ton bombs plus their explosive power would cause tremors and shifts in the earth. surface comparable to that exerted by minor earthquakes. The present scientific opinion Is that the measurable disturbance in the earth surface from air-raids may not extend beyond 100 miles, but it is felt that novel lessons might be learned from the use of high-speed earthquake recording instruments at a distance of 50 miles from the raids. Serious carthquaqes usually result from disturbances within the earth, and explosions on the surface spend much of their force in the air. Air-waves created by the terrific bombs may, therefore, become field for future scientific study, Oppau Blast Cited.

"A distinction is made between the Jesuit and other educational institutions because the former have formed a voluntary association to deal with their various seismological problems and to engage in important researches in seismology.

Then he took up Ihe project, which in plan had assumed heroic proportions, from the standpoint of nat ional defense. "What are the vital metals?" he asked challencingly. "They're chrome, tungsten and manganese.

We've got to have those in wartime. Of our chrome, 95 per cent is imported, of our tungsten 70 per cent, and of our manganese practically all of It. "There's no reason for that. We've got those metals. Chrome occurs in California, Oregon, Montana and Wyoming; tungsten in Nevada, Arizona, California and Colorado, and manganese in practically all the Western states.

"The secret in getting it is electrolytic reduction, and with plenty of power we can get all the manganese we want from low-grade ores. Our native chrome and tungsten is pretty high grade." Malone smacked his hat on his head and yelled into the telephone to send a bellboy for his bags. "It's a new frontier," he declaimed, "but the West is unb anced industrially.

To polish off his argument about the size of the West, and its poten tialities, Malone said the campaign, for industrialization would get under way at the Golden Gate International Exposition at San Francisco next year.
