Flowers Golden Rule Class. Govt, Baffled By Jap Beetle Washington, April 15. (JP) The Agriculture Department has stopped trying to out-guess the Japanese beetle on where this pest may ghow up next. This year the department will not set up quarantine regulations in any area until adult beetles actually appear. Heretofore, such regulations have been set up weeks in advance to cover areas where 1 inoan mrnn.fnil tv annuo.

and sometimes he didn't. The regulations limit and in some cases bar shipment of fruits, vegetables and cut flowers from infested areas to insect-free areas.

Successive areas likely to be infested, it said, include Northern Virginia," Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York. Hanged Before Mirror Pittsburgh, April 15.

On Trail Of Mumps Cure Philadelphia, April 15. (JP)A Philadelphia couple recently returned after three months as a medical research team in Alaska say they may have developed a vaccine capable of preventing mumps. Dr. Carroll Burgoon, 32, and his wife, Dr. Jane Burgoon, 29, said yesterday that they had inoculated about 1,200 Indians while in Alaska.

The results of their tests, they added, have not been fully determined yet. The two physicians whose work was sponsored by the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia with U. S. Army backing said their vac cine was developed from the fluid in a chicken egg. It has not yet been made available to the public.

Dr. Burgoon told reporters he and his wife went to Alaska because mumps is a rare disease in Arctic climates. The two doctors established a laboratory near Sit ka, Alaska, but did most of their work in the two small villages of Kane and Angoon in the south- western part of the Alaskan territory. The doctors said it may be a year before they know the full effectiveness of the vaccine. Newest 1UAEUU3 VrH RENTED KAHAN'S 21 W.

Haarmeyer, an nounced today. Before ordering an adjustment in the maximum rent of any rental accommodation, the local rent of fice asks the landlord to certify that he is maintaining all services required by the maximum rent regulation, and that he will continue to maintain those services so long as the proposed adjustment remains in effect.

Under the Housing and Rent Act of 1949, which became effective'-pril 1st, no ad justment may be granted without this certification, Director Haar meyer explained. This new requirement also ap plies to petitions filed before the enactment of the new legislation and still under consideration by the rent office. No further action on these petitions can be taken until the landlords sign and return the certification form which has been mailed to them, the rent director stated. Some 400 petitions are being held pending return of certifications. In the future, landlords will make the certification at the time of filing the request for rent adjustment.

(JP) A new approach to treatment of tuberculosis was reported successful toda in tests on 30 patients by two Pennsylvania doctors.

The physicians reported in a paper to the American College of Allergists that they have had "very promising results during a seven month period of treating the disease with neohetramine, an anti-allergy drug, and streptomycin. The doctors are A. R. Judd and Alfred E. Henderson of the Pennsylvania State Department of Health Sanatorium in Hamburg Pa.

The value of streptomycin in combating the spread of the tubercle bacillus the tuberculosis germ has beep widely recognized. The use of neohetramine, widely successful in treating lyiy fever, hives and other allergic diseases, is new. Doctors Judd and Henderson said they are convinced that the pru mary onset of tuberculosis is afc allergic reaction to tubercle baccil-li which creates and maintains inflammation. This helps the bacilli to do their tissue damage. The double-barrel drug therapy attacks the allergy phase of the disease, reducing inflammation with neohetramine, while combating the bacilli with streptomycin, they said.
