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,

"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

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

$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.
