' v Bug-Aided Food Process Is Ready ? For 'Pilot' Trials, Scientist Says By FRANK CAREV .; AfWMwted Preu science Reporter. BALTIMORE (ft) A new bug aided process of food preservation is ready for "pilot" trials by in dustry, a government scientist re ported Wednesday. Dr. A. A. Andersen of the De partment of Agriculture said the method or modifications of it of fered possibilities of improving the quality of preserved products with out sacrificing safety. He addressed the golden jubilee meeting of the Society it American Bacteriologists. Key to the new process is a sub stance called "subtilin" a drug derived from a microbe found in hay. :" , 1 Government tests have shown that when tiny quantities of it are added to vegetables or fruits being prepared in cans or jars,' less heat than usual is required to preserve the foods safely. . Dr. Andersen said that under present commercial procedures, Schwinn Bicycles : ' " We veil the beat . ; -and repair the rest AL'S FIXIT SHOP Between Farm Bureau and Jr. High 320 W.. Waihiniton Phone 132B-R "extreme heat" processing Is re quired with pressurized equip ment to kill all potentially dangerous spoilage germs. Such heating, he said, affects the taste, color and texture of the products. With the new method, he de clared, there are indications that effective preservation -can be achieved by reducing the heating temperature from 240 to 212 de grees, cutting the heating time "rom between 40 and 60 minutes to be tween S and 10 minutes, and elim inating pressurized equipment. This is because the "subtilin" substance knocks off certain germ formations which ordinarily would require high, prolonged heat. These are bacterial "spores" which ha-i a kind of armor plate ound diem. making them more heat-resistant than other bugs in the food. Andersen said the lesser heat requirements would -conceivaMy make for products of improved quality. The drug alone would not suffice for food preservation because uee are other factors which require some heat treatment. Dr. Andersen, of the Department of Agriculture's western regional research laboratory, Albany, Calif., said subtilin might not be the last word in this line of attack. Possi bly, he said, other drugs in this same class might be found for com bination use with subtilin, or with one another. Subtilin is classed as an "anti biotic" of the same nature as penicillin and streptomycin. But the latter two drugs have proved of no value as food pre servatives, r Pkauaf rVaaek ovit-Uar Fen,ndcl Inm cunBtbal-tcl. laf, Ifca VaacAaM. Gawiaht 1948. 194 fcy Philipp. HaUuaa.

Tha "FRENCIIMAN"'says: WHAT MORE CAN I SAY- MAGNIFICENT' $35 Million Still Out In Overpaid Military Funds WASHINGTON, May 17-P) Assistant Secretary of the Army Karl Bendetsen said today that out of about $160,000,000 overpaid in military allotments all but $35,000,000 has been collected or adjusted. He added that he expects a sizable amount of the remainder will be recovered. Bendetsen was the first witness before a House armed services subcommittee investigating al leged irregularities at the Army finance center in St. Louis. The inquiry was touched off by a House civil service subcommit tee's report criticizing the opera tions at the center. Among other things, the civil service erouD complained of over payments and the employment of Communists ana Kea sympainiz ers. The center handles family allow' ances and servicemen's allotments for army and air force personnel, It emDlova 4.500 civilians. This is the sixth time that the center's affairs have been inves tigated by congressional groups. Chairman Kilday (D-Tex) said at the outset of today's hearing that the new probe will be thorough. Bendetsen testified that the $35,000,000 yet to-be adjusted rep resents less than one-fifth of one per cent of the total payments of $19,000,000,000 in 7Vi years. He reminded the committee that Congress in 1942, in passing the law granting allowances to ser vicemen's dependents, provided that the payments were to be made without waiting for an audit. Kilday interrupted to say he ha '. been a member of the com mittee that recommended that ac tion and he would be interested in seeing the result of our "cal culated risk." Ex-Nazis Return To Public Office In W. Germany Stuttgart, : Germany iP) Thou sands of former Nazis are return ing tg public office, in western Germany. Does this mean that nazism' is reviving? - . A high German official insists that it does not. A high Ameri can ' authority agreed with him. Neither was alarmed by the dis closure that 76 per cent of the 11,000 officials in the government of Wuerttemberg - Baden state once belonged to the Niza party. The German and American of ficials differed, however, in their explanation of these figures. "We can ,uot find enough able officials to run the government without using, these former Nazi party members." said Relnhold Maier, German minister-president oi wueruemoer-uaaen. "I don't agree with that," said Ma), uen. Charles P. Gross, US. commissioner in this state. Gross said the rehirine of ex- Nazis is a product of the German bureaucratic system by which the same group of officials continues to administer the laws, no matter who controls the government. "These officials form a close fraternity," the American com' missioner said. "They favor each other. They protect each other. They hire each other. These ex-Nazis who are re turning to their old jobs are being rehired not because they were nazis but because they belong to tne traternity. Follow Any Leader Gross 'criticized the '.German bureaucracy as "too autocratic" in its relations to the people, yet too willing to follow any leader tne Kaiser, Hitler or the Allies." But Gross said American authorities can not intervene to stop the reemployment of ex- Nazis as long as the Germans "follow the rules and apparent ly they are following them." - These rules, made by the allies, permit official reemployment of minor Nazi party - members who took no active part in Nazi crimes. These are officially classified as "followers." Gross said there was no evidence German officials are rehiring any who are not eligible. Maier insisted those being re hired were never really active nazis. "They were not political people at all, he said. "Most of them Were pressured into joining the party in order to hold their jobs. "These people are professional public officials. They served the Weimar republic. They served Hitler. Now they are back again. doing the jobs they know best." X': , '" .
