Mayor-Elect Al W. Loucks Wed
nesday night endorsed the new
Salem Civic Alliance of service

that can boost the community by
studying its needs and acting on
them."
Loucks, addressing representa

have a definite function. It could
be the link that is missing in the
city today."
Representatives appointed an
interim committee to draft ten
tative organizational plans. The
committee will determine bow ex
tensive the membership should be
and will outline major projects of
the new alliance, subject to ap
proval of the general membership.
Committee members and the

lease from pain through the use of
an antidote for poison war eas.
The new pain killer is called Bri
tish anti-lewisite, or BAL as it is
more commonly known.
The British developed . BAL In
England during World War II as a
defense against deadly lewisite poi
son gas. After the war it was used
in the treatment of arsenic and
mercury poisoning and in certain
types of nerve disorders.
Doctors at Cleveland elinfp latr
decided to try the new drug in
leases of diabetic neuritis which has
long baffled medical authorities.
The doctors have alreadv used
BAL on 22 patients who were suf
fering from diabetic neuritis. After
injections of BAL for periods from
seven to 14 days, 12 of the patients
were freed from pain. The other
10 remained the same.
Dr. Robert W. Schneider of the
clinic's diabetic department said
no conclusions can be made at the
present time as to the value of
BAL in treating diabetic neuritis
but the results from the 22 cases,
he said, are very encouraging.
New Propeller
Boosts Air Speed
MOFFETT FIELD. Calif. -fJPV-
ina airpiane propeller is about to
get a new lease on life desnite the
arrival of the Jet age. A new lab
oratory creation called a super
sonic propeller Is being tested by
the National Advisory Committee

siDie use on planes traveling 500
to 700 miles an hour, which is Just

The new type need be only half

is intended to operate efficiently
when Its surfaces are moving
through air at supersonic speeds.
This situation sometimes exists for
