Chemical Control
For Wheat Smut
Seen in Report
. Richland, Wash. - (Science
8ervice)-WIieat smut, a fun
dus disease that could cost
U.S. wheat growers many
millions of dollars a year, is
expected to be brought under
chemical control,
' Dr. Vernon H. Cheldeiin of
Oregon State college told an
American Chemical society
meeting here that a substance
believed responsible for the
dwarfing of wheat, one of the
tlrst symptoms of the disease,
has been identiifed. The sub
stance is a natural product of
a smut fungus called Tilletia
contraversa.
, The material, oxalic acid,
Is capable of removing from
wheat tissue nutrients that
are essential to growth, Dr.
Cheldeiin said.
', Research on the life proc
ess of smut fungi is expected
to reveal information on the
nature of the parasites and
on the resistance of wheat to
them. This insight may lead
to logical control methods,
Dr. Cheldeiin reported.
' The only defense against
wheat smut at present is to
breed resistant strains of
wheat. However, smut fungi
an, by Interbreeding or mu
tation, produce new races ca
pable of attacking the "resist
ant" wheat.
' Wheat smut, which serious
ly limits the wheat crop in
the northwestern stales and
threatens to spread to every
wheat center in the world,
hows up as black spores that
replace the wheat kernels.
. E. J. Vaisey and Dr. R. W.
Newburgh, also of Oregon
State college, were coauthors
of the report.

Asian Impact Yet To Be Fully
Measured In United Nations
CALLIOPE SOUNDS OFF Young listeners
seem to be enjoying the sound of an antique
steam calliope being tuned up for the annual
"Steamboat Days" celebration at Winona,
Minn. The instrument is one of the last
seven known playable steam calliopes in the
United States.

'Steamboat Days' to Inaugurate
Presentation of River Relics
Winona, Minn. - (lira - The
rollicking music of a steam
calliope will sound on the
Mississippi river here as a
prelude to this city's annual
"Steamboat Days" July cele
bration.
The special "Steam-up
Day" will mark the presenta
tion of valuable historical rel
ics to the Winona Historical
society by three brothers who
were born in Winona and
went on to establish a world
wide machine tool business.
Echo of Other Days
The calliope, said to be one
of the few remaining of these
fast-disappearing instruments
in the U.S., is an echo from
the romantic steamboat days
of another era.
When young America push
ed westward to new frontiers
in the 19th century, show
boats made Winona a regular
port of call. Their blaring
calliopes called the fun-loving
to the Mississippi levees
for an evening's entertain
ment. I
The Winona calliope has 32
whistles and its music can be
heard for 10 miles up and
down the river.
Its music will signal the
start of festivities at the
Steamboat museum, which is
being restored by the Winona
Historical society.
There will be presentations
of rare letters written by
Robert Fulton, inventor of
the steamboat; original Cur
rier & Ives prints of Missis
sippi river scenes; the cal
liope; and other steamboat
memorabilia by Robert James
and Leighton Wilkie.
Built in 1898
The brothers are owners of
the DoAU company, Des
Plaines, 111., and founders of
the Wilkie Foundation, a phil
anthropic corporation.
The steamboat housing the
museum was built in 1898. It
was the next to the last of
these craft to ply the upper
reaches of the Mississippi
river.
Renovation of the steam
boat as a permanent link be
tween the steamboat days and
the present was accomplished
through the contributions of
school children, businessmen
and the Wilkie Foundation.

Asia plays a leading role in
the United Nations but the
Asian impact is yet to be fully
measured.
The big issue-Chinese rep
resentation - remains unre
solved after 10 years of furi
ous debate.
Communist China, with up
wards of 600 million people,
is not a UN member. Nation
alist China, with a popula
tion of about 10 million on
Formosa, is a member and
has veto power in the Secur
ity Council.
Korea is divided into Com
munist and non-Communist
parts. So is Viet Nam. Neither
country is represented here.
Outer Mongolia, a Commu
nist state compressed between
China and Siberia, has been
kept outside by a Chinese Na
tionalist veto.
Therefore, Asian peoples
comprising about one-fourth
of the world population have
no representation at all in the
world organization.
While this state of affairs
remains, no one can be cer
tain of the full extent of
Asian influence in the U.N,
But, if 680 million Asians
have no voice at U.N. head
quarters, another 840 million
do. They form the biggest
regional grouping.

They argue that whether
Communist China gets into
the U.N. or not, it cannot be

in reaching agreement on
such vital matters as disarm

Animal Tumors
Produce Many
'Compounds'
Los Angeles (Science Serv
ice) - A bewildering assort
ment of "disease compounds"
associated not only with can
cer but with other serious
illnesses as well are being pro
duced by experimental ani-
Drs. William G. Clark and
I William J. Hartman of the
university or uamornia Med
ical school, Los Angeles, and
the Sepulveda Veterans Ad
ministration hospital are con
ducting research with mast
cell tumors, which are trans
plantable in animals.
Normal mast cells are tiny
depots of interesting com
pounds. Clusters of them are
found in the body, particular
ly in the connective tissue
sheathing of organs and tis
sues. They are also found in
association with inflammation
and cancer growths.
Others Also Produced
The cancerous mast cells
produce In large quantities
not only the compounds of
normal mast cells but several
others that may not be pres
ent in the normal mast cells
or present in too small
amounts to be recognized.
Chemicals so far identified
in mast cell tumors have been
implicated in mental disease,
shock and allergy, inflamma
tion, circulatory and heart dis
eases, high blood pressure,
rheumatic heart disease, ex
cessive stomach secretion and
irregularities of nerve trans-
mision.
These include histamine,
which is released in high con
centration during allergies
and acute infections; seroto
nin, which may be involved
In brain function; adrenalin
and noradrenalin, the stress
hormones; and heparin, blood
clotting agent. .
Drs. Clark and Hartman are
attempting to learn how all
these compounds In mast cells
are produced and stored and
enter Into body chemistry.
They are also seeking natural
or artificial chemicals which
would block the production
of these substances. These
might lead to more effective
control of diseases in which
these substances are implicat
ed. The research is supported
by the National Science Foun
dation, California Institute for
Cancer Research, U. S. Public
Health service and American
Cancer society.

statesmen, including a num
