New York (U.R) You walk
into a tuberculosis ward of Sea
View hospital. You expect to
find a lot of sick people. You
expect to hear a lot of coughing.
But you don't. You actually
find a pajama party in progress.

have these pajama parties all
day long. They are the first
human beings ever to receive
the new anti-tuberculosis drugs,
marsilid and rimifon.
Once Hopeless Cases
' Only a few months ago, they
were on the record books as
"hopeless cases." Today, many
of them are classified as "clini
cally well."
Throughout the men's and
women's wards there is a friend
ly rivalry. It's a debate over
which patient actually was the
first to take the new drugs.
The doctors insist that there
is no one individual who can
claim that distinction. A group
of five patients two women
and three, men received the
drug at about the same time last
June 19.
All Are Alive
All of that first group are
alive today. Some have become
negative cases and have been
given "passes" to" leave the hos
pital for short periods of time.
While a few may be discharged
soon, they will continued under
obseration for several years.
- Two of that selected group of
five are Mrs. Edith Helen John
son and Mrs. Hilda Carrion.
Each woman likes to be called
by" her first name. So we'li d
that.
We sat beside Edith's bed.
She looked the picture of
health. She is 23 and came to
the hospital in February, 1950.
Then she weighed 98 pounds.
Today, she weighs 174 and is
thinking about going on a re
ducing diet.
Proud to Volunteer
Edith said she was proud to
have volunteered to be a "Hu
man guinea pig." She said she
had a sore arm for several days
after receiving the first dose of
marsilid. At that time, it wa4
given by injection. Now she
takes six tablets each day.
The doctors said she had large
involvement in both her lungs.
She may still have to undergo
surgery, but the doctors say her
downhill course definitely has

America Mjust Take
Price off Effort
Reuther Declares
Eugene (U.R) Walter Reu
ther, president of United Auto
Workers, said Thursday that
America must take the price tag
off peacetime effort and fight
Communism "on an economic
and social front."
. In a panel discussion prepared
for broadcast Thursday night,
Reuther advocated moving into
France and working on its hous
ing program and "doing some
thing about unemployment" in
Italy.
Must Make Total Effort
"America must take the price
tag off peacetime effort 5 and
make a total effort," he said.
' It is possible to have both bread
and freedom, but if people are
desperate enough they will trade
freedom for bread."
.When asked by Dr. Eldon L.
Johnson, dean of the University
of. Oregon's College of Liberal
Arts and graduate school,
whether America could and
should make certain overall ob
jectives, but not political de
cisions for these people, the auto
union chief replied: f
"We should outline broad pro
jectives and then make the
money available to work on
those programs."
stopped. She has negative
sputum.
Desperate Case
, Her companion, Hilda, is a
smaller woman. Only four feet
nine inches tall, she weighed
less than 100 pounds. Now she
is 120. Hilda, 20, has a young
son. She said she had been "in
and out" of the hospital since
she was two years old. She al
ready has had surgery and she
was one of the most desperate
cases. The drugs reversed her
downhill course. She, too, is
negative and expects to be dis
charged soon.
In the 'months to come, the
scientists expect to learn wheth
er patients like Hilda and Edith
will continue to lose their TB
symptoms. They are clamiing no
cures at least not now.

Marine Corps
New Vest-Like Body Armor
Washington (U.R) The Ma
rine Corps Thursday demonstrat
ed a new vest-like body armor
which stops .45 caliber bullets
fired from a pistol or a tommy
gun. ,
The contoured armor, which
weighs 734 pounds, is made of
overlapping plates of plastic
laminated fiber glass and a spe
cial weave multi-layered nylon
fabric.
It surrounds most of the torso,
like a vest, and allows freedom
of movement.
Mass production of the armor
was started after Marines test
ed, it on patrol in Korea last
summer.
The demonstration nailed for
firing bullets from a .45 caliber
Thompson machinegun into the
armor. Such slugs dent but do
not break its plates.
: The Marine Corps emphasized,
however, that the new armor
is : not fully bullet-proof. The
maximum claim was that it
stops "such relatively-slow speed
projectiles" as bullets from a
.45 caliber 'pistol- or tommygun.
Congressional Quiz
Qneitions anrf Answers on What
Goes on at the Capital. Furnished
by Congressional Quarterly News
Features.
Q Would Sen. Harry Flood
Byid't, D-Va.. proposed federal
budget "make ends meet?"
A No, although' it would
come nearer than the President's
plan. Under Sen. Byrd's $76.8
billion' budget, spending would
exceed income by $5?8 billion
in the 12 months starting next
July; the deficit under the Presi
dent's $85.4 billion budget would
be $14.4 billion. In his "revis
ion" of the President's budget,
Byrd made the biggest slashes in
domestic spending. Next deepest
cuts came in foreign aid funds.
"Reductions can be made in
every category except interest,"
he said.
Q Do voters choose the na
tional convention delegates who
pick the Presidential-nominees?
A Only 16 states let voters
choose most or all the nominat
ing delegates, through Presiden
tial primaries.' In the other 32
states, delegates are chosen in
conventions or political com
mittees. '
Q How many times has a
Presidential election been de
cided in the House of Repre
sentatives? A Twice. In 1800, a tie be
tween Thomas Jefferson and
Aaron Burr was decided in the
House, which chose Jefferson to
be " President, Burr, Vice-President.
In 1824, after a four-way
race in which no one received a
majority, the House named John
Quincy Adams President, al
though he had trailed Andrew
7-kson in electoral votes.
Q How much good did the GI
BiU of Rights really do?
A A special House commit
tee reported Feb. 9. that the
broad . education, training and
loan guarantee program for vete
rans was a success, and most of
the 7.5 million veterans partici
pating benefited. But the report
criticized the "minority" who
acted in bad faith and "unscru
pulous school operators and gov
ernment officials" who caused
a "needless waste of public
funds." Few irregularities were
found on the college level. Most
were in trade schools and on-the-job
training.
Q Did the disagreement over
charges of irregular dealings be
tween the B & O Railroad and
the RFC ever get ironed out?
A No.. In 1947 Sen. Charles
W. Tobey R-N.H., accused the
Baltimore and Ohio "railroad of
collusive and irregular dealings
in connection with an $80 mil
lion Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration loan. A special RFC in
vestigator last year began an
eight-months probe of the charges
and Feb. 13 reported they were
"uterly groundless and grossly
unfair." Later Feb. 13 Tobey
countered with a statement that
he stood by his original charges.

Property on Moon
Offered for Sale
Monterey, Calif. M.R) Alex
ander F. Victor, 84-year-old in
ventor of the Victor talking
machine, . offered Thursday to
sell "exclusive" property on the
moon for $1,000 an acre.
This was Victor's answer to
the Berkeley Elves, Gnomes and
Little Men's Science . Fiction
Chowder and Marching Society
which demanded that the United
Nations recognize its claim $0
mineral rights in a 75-mile-long
area of the moon.
"Their claim is illegal," Vic
tor shouted. "Don't be surprised
if I take this to the Supreme
Court."
"I made contact with- the
moon two years ago and got ex
clusive title," he added. "The
Berkeley Little Men will -have
to file their claims through me."
And, Victor said, the Berkeley
Little Men will have to pay for
the privilege of exploiting the
moon's mineral wealth.
"I have a very exclusive real
estate development in mind," he
said.
