SUNDAY, JULY 29, 1946 Army Develops Inex pensive Method of Producing Quinine THE MICHi!TAN DdII.V rr irv By The Associated Press FORT BELVOIR, Va., July 28-The Army announced today it has devel- oped a method of producing a "poor man's quinine" which conceivably could greatly facilitate treatment of malaria throughout the world. The process, developed by the. Engineer Board at 1Fort Belvoir, is a "field method" of extracting to- taquine (from which quinine is derived) from the bark of the cin- chona tree. This is done right at the scene of the harvest in virtual- ly trackless forests of interior Latin America. The method is described as "a radi- cal departure" from present methods which the Army says require labor- ious transportation of the whole bark from the forests to extraction plants far from the harvest region. A ton of bark must be trans- ported out to yield 40 pounds of totaquine; but the Army says that under its method only the 40 pounds of concentrated material needs to be transported. The technique involves treatment of freshly-cut bark with an acid to dissolve the totaquine constituents, followed by a series of chemical and mechanical steps that extract the totaquine in the form of a dry pow- der. Declaring the process eliminates two steps required in the commer- cial method-drying and grinding the bark-and that it cuts transporta- tion costs at least 50 per cent, light- ens labor costs, and saves shipping time and space, the Army outlined these possibilities for the new method. 1. Since totaquine (pronounced "tota-keen-a") is itself an effective anti-malarial substance-without further refining to produce the con- stituent quinine-the method offers Latin American countries a rapid means of producing a "poor man's quinine" not only for their own uses in a malarious territory, but possibly for export to other coun- tries. (Dr. Clark H. Yeager, of the U. S. Office of Inter-American Affairs, says that of 300,000,000 cases of malaria a year on the earth, only 15 per cent can afford to purchase quinine and the war-developed synthetic ata- brine.) i ______________________ _________________________ _________ I 'r Glamour Galore GLAMOUR begins with a new hair-do!

Hooper will learn theirufate this week from a jury in circuit court here. Special Prosecutor Kim Sigler will make his final plea Monday. For nine days the six women and eight men serving as jurors here have heard testimony against the four de- fendants, Harry and Sam Fleisher Mike Selik and Pete Mahoney. Only one defense witness took the stand. "Rottenness in High Places" In a courtroom packed with spec- tators, many of whom refused to leave their seats even at mealtime for fear they would miss a part of the drama, Sigler unfolded a sensational series of circumstances which he said led to the Hooper murder and point- ed "to rottenness and scurviness in high places" State witnesses testified that the alleged murder plot was hatched in O'Larry's Bar in Detroit last Christ- mas night. They told the jury that $15,000 had been "put up" to silence Hooper "because he's talked too much." Sigler drew from his witnesses tes- timony that defendants Mike Selik and Harry Fleisher "cased" the kill- ig in Albion and that Sam Fleisher drove a paid gunman to Hooper's home on two occasions where they lay in wait for the intended victim. One witness, a woman tavern man- ager from Albion, said she saw Pete Mahoney in the tavern the day Hooper was slain. Witnesses Granted Immunity The defense lashed out at the state witnesses, two of them ex-convicts who said they, too, had plotted Hoop- er's death along* with the defen- dants. They testified they had been granted immunity from prosecution in return for their appearance against the four. "Let's hear from men who have not been granted immunity," the de- fense cried. Defense attorneys challenged the prosecution "to find the real mur- derers" and Sigler prophesied to the jury "Somewhere, some day the man who passed this dirty, lousy money on to these men will be brought be- fore the bar of justice." The trial rocked early in the week under the repercussions from charges of laxity in the administrtion of the State Prison of Southern Michigan. Defendant Selik and Harry Luks, a key state witness, were named in the prison report as having been ring- leaders in prison sub rosa activities. The outcome of the conspiracy case is of grave importance to Sigler as special prosecutor of the Carr grand jury. Conviction of the four, he has indicated, would be a long step to- ward finding the actual killers; ac- quittal, he contends, will necessitate a turning back to pick up the threads of a murder mystery unequalled in Michigan political history.

Return Soon Truman Man Would Take Over China Post By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, July 28 -Specu- lation in authoritative quarters is that Maj. Gen. Patrick J. Hurley's tenure as ambassador toChina may end in the rather near future. Hurley was sent to China to ce- ment relations and strengthen Chi- na's role in the war. Reports are that he may soon make way for a Truman appointee. * * * . Prep school: Washington is becom- ing a sort of jumping-off place for Latin American presidential candi- dates. Venezuelan Ambasador Dio- genes Escalante is leaving soon to campaign for the Presidential nom- ination of the Venezuelan Democrat- ic party. The name of Mexican Ambassador Francisco Najera is running through the rumor mill as a prospective can- didate for the top post down Mexico way. Ambassador Gabriel Turba left here a few months ago for Colombia and has just received the Liberal party nomination there. Enrique Ji- minez of Panama now is Provisional President after serving as ambassa- dor to Washington for a number of years. - * * Near record: President Truman may be headed for the all-time rec- ord of quick cabinet changes by a Vice-President succeeding to the presidency. One more change and he will have tied the mark set by Millard Fillmore who swept out all seven members of the cabinet of Zachary Taylor when he succeeded to office. With six changes rung up in about three months, Mr. Truman already has tied the record of Fillmore's run- ner-up, Chester A. Arthur. Arthur made six cabinet changes in the first year after he became President. Women Leave War Jobs In. Large Numbers By ALEXANDER R. GEORGE WASHINGTON, July 28-(A)-A big exodus of women from war jobs is under way. Munitions plants are laying ofi thousands of women workers, partic- ularly married women and teen-age girls, as war contracts are cut back. Some are voluntarily going back to their own kitchens and to school. Thousands of others want jobs. Many need the money that jobs bring. Re-Employment Difficult Reports from war production cen- ters indicate that the reduction in the output of munitions is hitting a larg- er proportion of women than of men workers, especially in the heavy indu- stries. There are signs that the re- employment problem, in general, will be more difficult for women than for men. Job-getting is harder for women at a time of widespread shifts in en- ployment because n (1) women are newcomers in many of their present lines of work and (2) ther'e is a long- established tendency to give job pref- erence to men. Five-Fold Increase More than 8 million women (about half of those at work recently) are either new workers since 1940 or changed their field of occupation aft- er Pearl Harbor. The increase of women workers in war goods manu- facturing (metals and metal products, chemicals and rubber goods) has been almost five-fold. These women have not built up long seniority records. Besides, many union contracts do not protect the seniority of women. Numerous firms hired feminine workers with the un- derstanding that they were to be em- ployed for the war emergency only. Capt. MClosky To SingHere David Blair McClosky, baritone, will present a recital Tuesday evening at 8:30 p. m. EWT (7:30 p. m. CWT) in the Pattengill Auditorium of Ann Arbor High School as one of the series of summer faculty recitals. Captain McClosky, a teacher of voice in the University School of Music, is about to be released from active service in the Army, where he was in charge of Public Relations in army bases here and overseas. He has received training at the New Eng- land Conservatory in Boston, in Ber- lin and Milan. He has traveled ex- tensively in both the United States and Europe as a recitalist, including three appearances in Town Hall, New York. He will sing a program of song cy- cles of the composers Beethoven, Schumann and Mahler. Joseph Brinkman will accompany him on the piano. Slides To Be Shown At Russky Kruzhok A meeting of Russky Kruzhok, Russian Circle, will be held at 8 p. m. EWT (7 p. m. CWT) Monday in the International Center. The second in a series of two slide showings on nationalities in the So- viet Union will be presented. By The Associated Press NEW YORK, July 28-Africa's 150 million native Negroes range from near savages to Oxford graduates, and Author Stuart Cloete knows ev- ery type. Cloete was born and grew up on that continent of white supremacy, yet he does not believe in that theory. He says that living all over the world, studying the same wars from opposite points of view, has killed for him any conviction that his country al- ways is right. Reverence for Emblems British by citizenship, six feet tall, mustached and dashing, he believes that reverence for such emblems as flags is good only for stirring up wars. This from a man who went to Sand- hurst (England's West Point), held a commission in the King's own Yorkshire infantry, served with the Coldstream Guards and was wounded twice in France in 1918. He began to write about the Africa he knew so well after the first World War. "Turning Wheels," a book of the month choice, was published in 1937. "Watch for the Dawn," a best- seller, followed, then "Congo Song," all telling of the new Africa. Less picturesque than Joseph Con- rad and other Britishers who made the world British Empire-conscious, his books are lusty and real with a modern, questioning approach. "Against These Three" This month his "Against These Three" was published. Non-fiction, it tells of the three men who hoped to keep Africa for their people: Paul Kruger, the great leader of the Boers, Cecil Rhodes, the tubercular English empire builder, and Lobengula, King of the Zulus, militant savages who devastated Africa in the early part of the nineteenth century. Cloete sees startling parallels be- tween Zulu culture and that of the Nazis. "People of the Heaven," the master-race of Zulus called them- selves. Their king, T'chaka, commem- arated his mother's death by killing 7,000 of his people. When a child was born to one of his women, it was suffocated by a clod of earth in the mouth, and its mother killed. T'chaka, like other more recent dicta- tors, knew how to get rid of rivals before they got powerful. Ostrich Plumes The Nazis had their swastikas; the Zulus had their ostrich plumes and cow tails. In combat, they had their pincer movement whereby the main body broke into two racing wings and surrounded the enemy. Author Cloete Has New Ideas on Africa -a-r lI l~ ..'.: "1 - -;, °..,,..
