Six Prospects And 6 Jobs Are Introduced Through speedly collaboration of the Chamber of Commerce and the Plainfield office of the State Employment Service, six young men reported at Meadowbrook Village at 8 a.m. today for Interviews In connection with that many openings as porters.

An official of the firm building the apartment project called the Chamber of Commerce late yesterday afternoon asking: if the office had any young men on its employment files available for such positions. The Chamber had none and called the State Employment Service at 4:20 p.m. The state office reported it was close to closing time and that it feared nothing could be done about such a rush order. However, Harold E. Dayton, deputy manager, took the assignment over personally and worked after hours rounding up six prospects.

The usual procedure of the state office is to have the prospects visit the staff before sending them to the job. In this case, however, because of the lack of time, the young men were dispatched di rectly to Meadowbrook Village. Save money on your Easter Candies. Debele's, 285 Somerset St Ample Parking. Adv.

7 In Old Days, Men Did the Decorating Evansville, Ind. (JP) The men and not the women used compacts In the days of the Ohio River mound builders. Fred educational director of a Civilian Conservation Corps camp, said CCC boys digging into a mound under the Evansville-Henderson, bridge found the compacts lidded stone containers with paint in them only where men were buried. 1 i Associates Speak These reports were made, according to The Associated Press by Ioctors Crossley, E. H.

Northey of Shepherd Middlesex, and Martin E. Hultquist of Johnston North Plainfield, to the American Chemical Society at Baltimore. The sulfanilamide which saved the pigs was made by combining the drug with a fat from an acid common in cocoanut oil. The compound's chemical name is N-l dode-canoyl sulfanilamide. It is a white solid, which the pigs ate.

About 300 pigs were used in a year's experiments. They were in jected, in the abdomen, with massive doses or human tuberculosis bacili. Those receiving no sulfanilamide all died within 60 days, of tuberculosis spread through thier systems. The 100 that lived were given the dodecanoyl drug about thre days after infection. Tubercles formed at the site of the infection, a sign of tubercu losis at that spot.

The tubercles re mained there as long as the pigs lived. But the disease spread no farther. These pigs lost no weight, sharp contrast to the unprotected Pigs. The dodecanoyl sulfanilamide, by animal test, was found less toxic than ordinary sulfanilamide. In test tubes it prevented colonies of tuber culosis bacteria from growing.

Stops Followed The original suggestion which led to the new drug was to com bine sulfanilamide and chaulmoo-gra oil, the remedy for leprosy. This did not appear feasible. After several hundred trials, the fat combination was made. The theory in compounding with fat is that a new door is opened to get sulfanilamide to diffuse through the body. It is thought that this form of sulfanilamide follows fat pathways, which are different from the diffusion of sugars and proteins.

The leprosy bacillus closely resembles that causing tuberculosis. Dr. Crossley said the new sulfanil amide will be tried experimentally on leprosy. It already has been used on animals with streptococcus infections, where Dr. Crossley said it was as effective "if not more so," than ordinary sulfanilamide.

Jonas Kamlet, of Israel Zion Hospital, reported a new form of sulfapyridine, the sulfanilamide compound which has reduced the pneumonia death rate in the last few months. He said it is water-soluble, thereby being more easily absorbed into the human system.

The Loizeaux plan would raise $60,000,000 in replacement taxes during the next six years. of Launches Survey to Aid Business Newark UP) The New Jersey State Chamber of Commerce announced today it had launched a survey "to provide the basis for development of a program which will aid the small business man of New Jersey to improve their competitive conditions, obtain adequate credit widen their markets and make larger Robert T.

Joseph Beck, now in London, has given assurances that Poland would, consider herself "under an obligation to render assistance to His Majesty's Government under the same conditions as those in the temporary assurance already given by His Majesty's Government to Poland," Chamberlain told the House ofCommons. The Prime Minister's statement that certain precise details of the British-Polish accord still would have to be worked out was presumed to mean actual military plans in the event that either nation should have to go to the defense of the other.

In Albania many reservists have been mobilized. Although seme sources expected the Albanians to-try to resist any Italian aggression, there also was a possibility that a formula might be found to make King Zog's country. Premier Mussolini flew this morning to the military airport of Jesi, near the Adriatic seaport of Ancona. Italy Proclaimed 'Ready He later returned to Rome, however, where the Italian press pro-calimed Italy "ready for anything at any moment." But both the press and Fascist officials were silent on Albania. Well-informed sources in Belgrade, capital of Yugoslavia, said Italian military occupation of Al bania would be intended as a warning both.

to Yugoslavia and Greece to stay out of the British-French-Polish "Halt Hitler" bloc. Cautious German comment, based on the general staff consultations in Innsbruck between Col. Gen. Wil-helm Keitel and Gen. Alberto Parian! was that the conference and the Albanian crisis were intended "to teach Chamberlain a lesson." Will Deport Nazis In London, Home Secretary Sir Samuel Hoare announced in Parliament that the British Government was taking steps to deport members of the German secret police and other Nazi organizations from Britain.

Despite the crisis in the Adriatic, Chamberlain continued weaving his net of European anti-aggressor states.

I'nchanred rimt rninme of a four- part report on "Labor Policies of Employer Associations.

the committee informed the Senate that, despite 1937 disclosures regarding its strike-breaking activities, the metal trades agency "still holds it-gelf ready to render assistance to members in time of strike." -The association's surplus, which constitutes its war chest. is on the increase." said the report prepared by Chairman La Follette (Prog-Wis) and Senator Thomas (D-Utah). The committee investigated the Metal Trades Association in January. 1937. The investigation, the report stated, brought out evidences of the use of labor spies and strikebreakers to prevent or wreck union organization of member workers.

"The open-shop principles of the National Metal Trades Association." the committee declared, stand for the autocratic control cf all working conditions of labor by the employer and unqualified opposition to the principle of collective bargaining with employes." Stubborn Opposition Alleged Accusing the organization of "stubborn opposition" to the National Labor Relations Act, the committee declared that "when large groups of individuals and economic interests band together to achieve a purpose that is in con-filet with national policy duly "enacted by the representatives of the people, then the Congress must take cognizance of the dangers to orderly government." "In the opinion of this committee," it continued, "the National Metal Trades Association creates such a danger."
