Officials To Press
Hospital Smoking Ban
Chicago (U.R) Fire de
partment officials are stepping
up a campaign to enforce a city
ordinance that bans smoking in
the corridors and patients' rooms
in the city hospital.
A fife department spokesman
said most hospitals have posted
signs notifying visitors that smo
king is illegal except in desig
nated areas.
The danger, according to
department officials, is that
smoking might ignite stray va
pors from oxygen machines and
could set fire to patient's beds.

Congressman Says
Charges Refuted
Washington UR) Rep. Alvin
E. O'Kcnski (R-Wis.) said Sat.
urday that Henry J. Kaiser had
refuted all the charges the Con
gressman made against the In
dustrialist last May 21.
O'Konski had accused Kaiser
of "swindling the government
out of millions of dollars a
year" end that he got defense
orders for his firms "simply by
placing his own key men in
proper departments of the gov-ernment."
The two men conferred for
two hours Saturday and O'Kon
ski later said:
"Mr. Kaiser discussed with me
the charges I made, He refuted
them one by one. I told him if
his statements were true I would
be glad to insert in the (Con
gressional) Record that the in
formation given me was false."
Kaiser, in turn, Issued a state
ment, approved by the congress-
man, in which he said O'Konski
"Expressed great regret that he
had not checked the accuracy
of the charges before he made
them, und he expressed willing
ness to repudiate the false
charges.'
In relation to one of his
Lcharges, O'Konski said he had
learned it was not Kaiser a
fault that he hadn't delivered
any cargo planes to -the Air
Force under his arrangement
with the Fairchild Engine and
Airplane corporation.

Many New Produck
From Douglas Fir
Bark Are Foreseen
Corvallis Since 1947 the Ore
gon Forest Products Laboratory,
operated by the Oregon Board of
Forestry in conjunction with the
Oregon State college, has been
engaged in a research project
that will soon begin paying divi
dends and may mean a new
multimillion dollar Industry for
the West Coast.
The raw material will be mil
lions of tons of Douglas fir bark,
now being burned or dumped as
waste, each year.
The new products produced
from it will include enough
vegetable tannins to sup
ply the entire American leather
industry, enough waxes to free
the nation from most foreign
supplies and valuable chemicals
to fight diseases and protect food
stuffs from spoilage.
Efficient production processes
nave been developed by the lab
oratory and it is reported seven
major companies have made
formal application for licenses
to use them.
After determining the chem
ical content of the bark, the next
step wa to evaluate its compon
ent parts and devise means of
economically product ng the
products.
It was discovered that a ton
of dry sawmill bark would yield
about 200 pounds of tannin, 150
pounds of waxes and 100 pounds
of a white, tasteless crystalline
compound which was identified
as dihydroquercitin. Collaborat
ing with other laboratories, it
was discovered the latter could
be used directly or in a slightly
modified form as an antioxidant
to keep butter, lard and other
natural fats from turning rancid.
It could also be turned into syn
thetic vanillin and used as a new
and abundant source of rustin,
the so-called Vitamin P.
Waxes from the bark are
equal in .quality to beeswax,
which the United States imports
in large quantities each year,
and, by chemically changing
Douglas fir wax, it is possible
to produce carnauba wax, used
in making candles, which now
must be imported and which is
in short supply.
Douglas fir wax can be put up
in proper solutions for use in
quickdrying and self-polishing
liquid waxes and polishes, and it
is now being tested for use in
cosmetics.

Hysterical Mother
Kills Small Sons
Oakland, Calif. (U.R) A
young Navy wife, respected by
her neighbors as a "model
mother,'' killed her two sons
late Friday night by beating
their heads with a baseball bat
and riddling their bodies with
stab wounds with a paring knife.
Mrs. Mary Edna Glenn, 33,
apparently suffering a fit of
hysteria over prolonged separa
tion from herusband, stationed
on Guam, then stabbed herself
30 times in the abdomen without
inflicting serious injuries upon
herself.
At Highland hospital where
she was taken for emergency
treatment, Mrs. Glenn could give
no reason for the killings and
attempted suicide. All she could
say when she regained conscious
ness upon recovering from a pro
fuse loss of blood was:
"Why did I do it, why did I
do It?"
The sons, Bobbie, eight, and
Billie, six, were found dead in
the Navy housing project home
by Alameda county deputy sher
iffs investigating a report by a
neighbor of a midnight "distur
bance.'' Bobbie's body lay in the
living room while Billie s was
found in a bedroom.
' When investigators arrived at
the home, Mrs. Glenn unhooked
the screen door and let them in
She had pulled a robe over her
dressing gown, hiding her own
wounds and made no mention of
them.

cratic mayor.
That's why when a special
capsule was placed in a corner
stone this winter, the betting
was that the mayor who opens
that capsule Nov. IS, 2050 will
be a Republican.
