d Vitamin B-12
Jl Is Science's
Jl Best for 1948
By I'uiil l Ellis
(Uiittutl 'rv Science Writer)
New York ill' A review of the
year 1948 points to the discovery
ol a new, powerful viatniin as the
top story in science.
The new vitamin, known as
B-12, was isolated from liver and
it gives great hope for the 100,000
Americans now suffering from
pernicious anemia, one o the
most disabling diseases. Besides
having proved that it is extreme
ly beneficial in pernicious anem
ia, the vitamin may be a key to
many nutritional problems affect
ing human health.
Announcement of the discov
ery of vitamin B-12 was made
early in the year by a scientific
team of Merck & Co. Later a
group of Lcderle laboratory scien
tists also isolated the vitamin, hav
ing found it in the litter on a
chicken house floor.
Another Source Found
As the year drew to a close the
Merck team announced that the
vitamin also was found being pro
duced by the same mold from
which streptimycin is obtained.
The new development will mean
that B-12 can be produced in large
quantities.
The second scientific story of
the year and some scientists may
place It first was the cracking of
the supersonic barrier by the
United States air forces XS-1 rock
et plane. Government announce
ments said the plane had flown
"must faster than the speed of
sound many times" but the exact
miles per hour was never re
leased. At sea level the speed of sound
is about 750 miles an hour. Hav
ing once cracked the supersonic
barrier, science may now develop
planes that will fly coast to coast
in three hours or around the
vyorld in 24 hours. Conceivably,
even better times can be made.
...Most details of the supersonic
flight are top military secrets.
Universe Extended
The first peek into the universe
by the world's biggest eye, the
Hale telescope at Mount Palomar,
may be called the third story in
science. The telescope was dedi
cated during the year and is now
going into action.
This 200-inch mlror will permit
astronomers to probe eight times
as much space in the universe as
has been observed. In years to
come, Palomar is expected to
solve many of the cosmic myster
ies that man has been trying to
figure out, such as how big is the
universe and whether (hero are
other planets where human life,
as carthmen know il, may exist.
The report of Prof. Alfred' C.
Kinsey of Indiana on "Sexual Be
havior of the Human Male" was
one of the most important and
most controversial science stories
of 1918. J lis book, based on in
ter views with about 4,500 males,
contradicted many theories on
just what is abnormal sex behav
lor. Findings Slurlling
It found that almost half of
married men were unfaithful and
that most males had sex exper
ience at early nges. The repurt
also showed that sex habits of
American males differed as to so
called abnormality in relation (o
education, economic und social
standards.
The year showed great progress
in science's search for a drug to
cure diseases caused by virus,
such as the common cold. Infan
tile paralysis, measles and
mumps, certain eye infections and
certain types of venereal diseases.
One of the now possible anti
viral drugs is known as darvisul.
In tests against infantile paraly
sis in mice it was found to be ef
fective. The results in a few
human cases were inconclusive
but the fact that it showed prom
ise as an anti-viral agent in the
experimental animal gives prom
ise of more encouraging develop
ments. Another possible anti viral drug
developed is known as aureomy-
cin. It might be called a cousin
of streptomycin. However, it lias
proved effective against some
types of germs that streptomycin
will not attack.
Brain Discovery Made
Ranking sixth in the science
stories of 1948 was the discovery
in the medulla of the brain cen
ters that control breathing, blood
circulation and heart beat in the
human body. The discovery was
revealed at the international con
ference on polio by a group of
University of Minnesota scien
tists. They said the discovery
was made during the study of hu
man brains taken at autopsy from
persons who died of the bulbar
type of polio during the 1940 epi
demic in Minnesota.
The significance of (he location
of the control centers lies in the
fact that medical scientists can
now create bulbar polio symp
toms in experimental animals
and from such studies possibly de
velop a better means to treat bul
bar polio in human beings. Il is
now usually fatal.
Cancer research stories also
were among the "big 10" of 1948.
One development was the an
nouncement of a new microscope
that brings out many hidden traits
of the human life cell. The new
microscope which has yet to be
perfected employs ultra violet
light to produce full color photo
graphs of tissues or parts of cells
which are completely colorless
and transparent in ordinary light.
New Approaches Seen
The microscope itself was not
new in 1918 but its application In
cancer work is sure to open new
approaches toward the cancer
problem.
The other cancer research story
in the "big 10" was the production
of radioactive cobalt in the atomic
energy plant at Oak nidge, Tenn.
Government announcements said
radioactive cobalt may he used as
a substitute for the rare, expens
ive radium in cancer treatment.
Radium is dangerous to work
with, whereas cobalt has a shorter
life and can be used in the body
to a safer degree. Production of
the isotope also eventually may
permit doctors to treat some can
cer cases without sending them (o
a hospital, where one usually
must go if he is to receive radium
therapy.
Television Advances
The progress of television was
again one of the top scientific
stories in 191S. Important gains
were made In extending the hori
zon of television through use of
longer coaxial cables and the
micro-radio wave systems. In ad
dition, it was demonstrated during
the year that aerial warfare at sea
can be televised and sent back to
land stations. Navy officials said
television undoubtedly will have
important military applications in
the event of another war.
Rounding out the big scientific
stories, wjis the progress in build
ing new atom smashing machines
designed to solve more secrels of
nature. One of the important de
velopments of the new type atom
smashers was the artificial cre
ation of the meson, a particle
from cosmic radiation that bom
bards the earth from somewhere
out in space. Study of the meson
may result in the discovery of
what holds the nucleus of the
atom together. Such a discovery
would be one of the most impor
tant science stories of this or any
other century.

Football Rules
To Change in '49
San Francisco, Jan. 6 U'i A
new brand of football is on tap
for grid customers in 1919 if (he
National Collegiate Athletic as
sociation executive committee ac
cepts proposals from the rules
committee.
First, the unpopular "free sub
stitution" rule, which drew boos
and catcalls from the fans last
season, will be modified; and sec
ond, the "reverse center" may be
legalized.
These were the highlights of
the annual rules committee re
port to the NCAA, as announced
by Chairman Lou Little of Co
lumbia university.
The committee recommended
that the fn-e substitution rule be
changed to allow "platoon re
placements" only during a time
out or when the ball changes
hands; and abolished the single
substitutions that have been al
lowed when the clock still is go
ing. That latter item was insti
tuted to stop lagging of the 12lh
man on the field, and possibly
was aimed at curbing quarter
backing from the bench.
The "reverse center" proposal
was made to tne rules committee
and still must win approval.
If adopted, it would free a T
formation quarterback from
standing right up against the line
and he would be available for
passing, pass-reception or block
ing or running.
Olympic Champ
Receives Award
New York, Jan. 6 dl'' Robert
Bruce Mathlas, 17-year-old Olym
pic decathlon champion from Tu
lare, Calif., today became the
youngest competitor ever to re
ceive the Sullivan memorial
award, emblematic of the na
tion's number one amateur ath
lete. The good-looking, 6 foot, 2 Inch
193 pounder, a star In track, foot
ball and basketball, gained 201
first place votes from 525 ballot
ers for a total of 1,491 points.
The 1918 award, honoring the
memory of James E. Sullivan,
one of the early leaders of the
Amateur Athletic union, was
made this vear as it is every year
after a poll of sports leaders ana
writers, who chose "the amateur
athlete, who by performance, ex
ample and good influence, did the
most to advance the cause of good
sportsmanship during the year."
