Methyl Is New
Super Vitamin
CLEVELAND, April 3 -UPr- A
master chemical, called a methyl,
something which goes beyond vit
amins in maintaining health and
can be had only in certain protein
foods, was described to the Amer
ican Chemical society here today.
Methyl is the familiar poison in
wood alcohol, and also is known
to chemists in thousands of other
compounds. In all except three of
them it is poisonous.
The three exceptions are the
methyl in choline, a B vitamin.
and in two of the acids found in
some proteins. The foods contain
ing ' the master chemical include
egg yolk, soy beans and numerous
meats and vegetables.
A diet which includes a wide
variety is good insurance of get
ting enough methyl. Insufficient
methyl resembles a vitamin de
ficiency.
The report was made by G. C.
Supplee of the Borden Co. and
four associates. Credit for discov
ering methyl's role goes to Prof.
Vincent Du Vigneaud, Cornell
medical school, Prof, Charles H.
Best, Canadian co-discoverer of
insulin, and Prof. Henry C. Eck
stein, University of Michigan.
Methyl's health role is, first, to
aid food do its nutrition job. Dr.
Supplee said it can be called the
body's lubricant Second, methyl
maintains good working order in
vital organs. Third, it is a detoxi
cant, destroying some of the pois
ons which accumulate in the body.

Although described by Alder
man LeGarie as "full of holes,"
an opinion echoed by others of
the council, the firemen's pension
measure received only one dis
senting vote, that of OUara. who
maintained thai a bill calling 'for
expenditure of as much as $25,000
city money (at the peak load pe
riod which it is estimated will
come about 1964) should provide
some means of financing it An
other measure which would have
set aside the fire tax fund- was
tabled. The pension fund will
call for approximately $10,000
city monies the first year of its
operation, the actuary who drew
it said. The measure goes to the
voters May 19f at i, special city
election to be; held in conjunc
tion with the state primaries. '
Informed that allocation of it
would have withdrawn from the
air raid protective funds which
have in recent months - been
used for the, civilian services of
civilian defense, resulting in or
ganization of block, leaders for
bond sales, salvage and other
wartime home front" tasks, the
council postponed indefinitely an
ordinance which would have
poured civilian defense money
back into the city's general fund.

Regimentation
For Veterans
Called Threat
. - (
Millions of - men leaving the
armed services to return to a life
no less disciplined . and with no
ess regimentation, than they, have
known . in . military organization
may be the greatest-revolutionary
threat in the United , States in
postwar years, Stephen F. Chad-
wick, Seattle attorney who is past
national commander of the Amer
ican Legion, ' predicted ' Monday
noon as he spoke before the' Sa-
em chamber of commerce lunch
eon meeting.
One-tenth of the nation's popu
ation will return from war "skill
ed in the use of arms and know
ing where the ammunition -is,"
Chadwick pointed out adding that
they will resent any loss of the
freedoms for which they have been
fighting. i
"Little by little, step by step,
we are being woven into a great
national plan of regimentation,' he
declared. , :
Americans have been largely un-
resentful of mistakes in wartime
regulations; those at home ; have
submitted to the rules which re
quire them to work in "essential"
industries, although the word may
at times seem a gross misnomer,
Chadwick said. But the returning
soldier, sailor or marine, he main
tained, will come face to face with
such restrictions suddenly and will
resent them. ' j . .
Not only government but organ
ized labor must recognize the re
turning service man, he declared.
Substantial and apprentice and ini
tiation fees in some unions today
are practical denials of freedom
of opportunity to the man who is
starting anew. The aeronautical
mechanics union is one of a few
which has waived such fees for
returning veterans, according to
Chadwick.
The four freedoms, the speaker
declared, are hollow if they are
not accompanied by freedom of
opportunity, the right to change
one's place of residence and status
in society.
Chadwick, grandson of the Ste
phen F. Chadwick who was an
early governor of Oregon, spent
part of his boyhood in Salem and
served in Siberia during the1 first
world war with Salem men. He
was introduced Monday by Emil
G. Sick, head of the brewing in
teres ts which he serves as
legal
counsel.

The statement said: "The con

ing that Chinese troops stationed

Longer-Range Fighters
Being Developed in US
WASHINGTON, April 3 -VP)
A disclosure that the United States
is developing longer - range fight
er planes, presumably to protect
flights of the huge new : Boeing
B-29. super bomber, came simul
taneously today with announce
ment of record - shattering air
craft production in March.
The aircraft industry turned out
9118 war planes last month, top
ping 9000 for the first time, and
scored an even more impressive
achievement by boosting the to
tal weight of air frames produced
by nine per cent to a total of 103,
400,000 pounds.
The statement that efforts were
under way to provide fighter es
corts for the new giant bombers
was made by Maj. Gen. Oliver P.
Echols, commanding the air for
ces materiel command, at a news
conference. I The production of
B-29'a was "substantially on sche
dule" in March. 1

Playground Budget
Increase to Be Asked
City budgeteers, called to their
first ; meeting April 17, will be
asked for approximately $8000
for the city's playgrounds, about
$500 ; more than was budgeted
last year.
The city annually provides half
the playground funds, the school
system the other half. The play
ground board, which operates -under
joint auspices of the city
councfl and the school board,
placed its recommendations be
fore the council Monday night in
brief form, suggesting that a bud
get of $16,000 annually should
be anticipated.
Such a budget would be suf
ficient to conduct complete recreation-programs
at Leslie and
Olinger playgrounds and" would
provide' limited programs' for
small children at neighborhood
playgrounds on Highland, Engle
wood, Grant Bush and Richmond
school play areas.
