Scientists Hear of
Discovery of Protein
Only “Partly Alive”
BY HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE
(Associated Press Science Editor)
ST, LOUIS — (# — Something
apparently only partly alive which
may: be the Ilong-sought place
where life began, a virusportein
discovered at the Rockefeller In
stitute, was described to the Am
erican Association of the Advance
‘ment of Science Tuesday.
The protein acts like a link be
tween living and non-living mat
ter. It promises completely to
change the medical idea of the na
ture of viruses, the invigible dis
ease-making agents, which have
been considered as wultra-small but
living relatives of bacteria.
The discovery definitely opens
the way to new chemical dealings
with the viruses and their dangers
to man..
This protein was exiracted from
tobacco mosaiec virus, a well known
plant. disease, by Dr. W. M. Stan
ley of the Rockefeller Institute,
“Indoubtedly, he said today, this
thing is not living in the ordinary
sense,
Yet it reproduces itself, and re
production is one of the scientifi
cally accepted cardinal evidences
ot lie. 5
‘The protein is a minute crystal.
It contains 16,6 per cent nitrogen,
48 per cent carbon and 6.6 per cent
hydrogen. Passing it through filt
ers proves its size is Jess than that
of a molecule of albumen. Too
much alkalinity or too much aeid
ity inactivates, or kills itg activity,
the same as they kill living things,
Temperature of 201 fahrenheit
kills it. Pepsin digests it.
Most significant of all it causes
the plant disease the same as the
mosaie virus.
“The fact,” Dr. Stanley's report
states, “that the crystalline protein
from many different batches ot
starting material has the same
chemical composition, optical rota
tion and virus activity, and that
the same characteristies remain
constant during many crystalliza
tions and adsorptions and elutions
(removals) of the protein, and the
experiments on crystallizations,
fractional crystallgations and par
tial inactivation are 'very strong
evidence that the crystalline mater
jal is pure and that it is tobacco
mosaie virus.
“However, because viruses may
multiply, because they are specific
in that certain viruses occur only
in certain hosts, because they may
change and adapt themselves to
new conditions and thus give rise
to new strains, and because of the
lasting immunity which following
most virus diseases, most workers
in the virus field have for a long
time regarded viruses as invisible
living organisms.
“However it is exceedingly diffi.
cult to conceive a living agem}
which may be not only crystallized
but recrystallized repeatedly with
retention of constant physica), |
chemical and biological Dropertleu.‘
“Such characteristics are regard
ed as those of pure chemical con
pounds, hence it seems reasonable
to assume that the crystalline pro
tein is a chemical compound and
therefore is inanimate.
“Were it not for the mysticism
which has long surrounded viruses,
the evidence already at hand would
ordinarily be accepted as proof
that virus activity is a property of
the protein molecule.”
With the several pounds now
ready he said he hopes to settle
this guestion and that if the virus
proves to be a protein it may be
pussible to find a chemical ex
planation for the ability of the sub
stance to reproduce itself in the
presence of living cells and even
to explain the immunity after virug
disease. :
The virus immunity most sought
today is that against infantile
paralysis.
Secret of Beginning
Of Universe May Be
Disclosed By Study
By STEPHEN J. McDONOUGH
sociated Press Science Writer.
LOUIS.—(P)—The secret
of how h\universe began may
be disclosed thesugh study of
cosmic rays. o
Dr, Arthur J. (:omptorTN}m:Sa;;
sity of Chicago pacifist and
of the world's leading authorities
on these electrically charged par
ticles which bombard the earth,
proposed use of cosmic rays in
the study of very ancient history
of the universe Wednesday in an
address before the American As
sociation for the Advancement of
Science. !
Reporting on recent advances
in the study of cosmic rays, Dr.
Compton declared that these par
ticles, originating *“at an effective
distance of between one billion
and ten billion light years out in
space” give the astronomer clues
to study ihe birth of stars and
galaxies and enable man to look
back long before the most an
cient gelegic time.
A tone. time regarded as mere
ly interesting phenomgna, cosmic
rays now are proving to be ex
tremely useful tools to scientists,
he said. For instance “the im
mense individual energies of
these rays, some of them with an
erg of energy for a single atomic

WASHINGTON.,—There will be
much to keep the eyes of industry
and labor on Capitol Hill during
the coming session of Congress,
and “because this is a “political”
session, with election coming on,
much of the feud between “Big
Business” and the New Deal will
be fought out on floors of house
and senate.
Further proposals for regulation
of industry will come from individ
ual members and from labor or
ganizations. There will be no at
tempt to revive NRA, except per
haps through some milk-and-wa
tery provision for voluntary codes.
The White House is officially
supporting the Walsh bill requir
ing firms obtaining governmeni
contracts or loans to observe cer
tain wage, hour, and child labor
standards, but it isn't certain that
sufficient “heat” will be applied to
put the measure through the
house, where it now rests.
In general, however, it is worth
remembering that attacks of in
dustrialists on the New' Deal have
led to a closer affinily between the
administration and organized la
bor, on whose election support
Roosevelt counts heavily., Hence
few expect the administration t
found conspicuously opposing
measures for which labor has
drummed up congressional sup
port, i
Labor Legislation in Doubt
The A. F. of L.¢ 30-hour week
bill is not likely to pass, however,
and it's impossible to predict that
any major piece of labor legisla
tion will go through,
The most far-reaching indus
trial bill which will receive seri
ous consideration — although ex
tremely unlikely to pass—is that of
Senator O'Manoney of Wyoming
for a federal incorporation law
licensing and regulating corpora
tions engaged in business “among
the states.”
Drafted with aild of A. . ot 1.
lawyers, this , measure would en
large the Federal Trade Commis
gion, with employers, employes,
and the public represented, to ad
minister the @act and issue licen
ses.
The government would lay |
down licensing terms and as the
bill stands those terms would in
clude collective bargaining, no
child labor, equal pay for women
and men, wage regulations, and
honest trade practices. 1
The idea of the bill is to “spread
purchasing power” and meet the
problem of technological unem
ployment. It instructs the FTC to
make policies with a view to max
imum utilization of the nation’s
industrial plant, increased produc
tion, and increased purchasing
}power. .
The measure would become for
midable should the Supreme Court
kill recent labor laws.
Ship Subsidy Row Certain
A ship subsidy bill and commod
ity exchanges regulation are fairly
sure to be passed,
The revised food and drugs bill
has a good chance.
There will be a demand, at least,
for a big federal housing pro
gram, |
000,000 electron volts and somel
primary rays have energics ofz
60,000,000,000 electron volts, the|
Chicago physicist said, and since
these energies are thousands of
times greater than can be pro
duced in the laboratory they form
a powerful tool for investigations.
|“'l‘he total power received by the
| earth in the form of cosmic rays
&g, however, probably not greater
tha at of starlight,” he added.
Newlgn'gb;_on the disputed ques
{ tion of whet‘hé(\ the rays come
from giant stars,%oduced by
the grayitational a of the
universe, or are ‘“supek-radio
active particles” emitted ats the
initial explosion of the expanding
| universe was offered by Dr.
Compton.
Studies of the differences in in
tensity of the rays as the mag
netic poles are approached and
variations with time “confirm our
belief that the rays come from
very remote distances,” he said,
but “efforts to learn how the rays
are produced have been unsuc
cessful.”
Dr. Compton illustrated his ad
dress with a new ‘“isocosmic” map
of the world showing the lines of
equal magnetic intensity in simlar
fashion to contour lines on an
ordinary map.
BURNED TO DEATH

Ocean mall contracts terminate
in March. Ship operators have re
ceived $171,000,000 in subsidies in
the last seven or eight years and
their eagerness for more comes
up against widespread belief that
there has been much abusel/ Roose
velt advocates an “adequate mer
chant marine,” abolition of dis
guised subsidies, and outright
grants based on difference be
tween American and foreign costs
of construction and operation.
The Bland-Copeland bill proved
80 unpopular last year that Sena
ter Copeland withdrew it after it
barely passed the house. It would
create a Maritime Authority with
power to subsidize high, wide, and
handsome. Roosevelt never en
dorsed it. Secretary Roper did,
however, ~—
Opposed to that is the bill of
Congressman Moran of Maine, cre
ating a U. 8, Merchant Marine
Corporation with $500,000,000 to
buy and operate ships and charter
ships to private companies under
strict supervision and accounting.
Expect a hot fight over this is
sue, because some of the best
fighters in Congress are interest

Trading May Be Regulated
Commodity exchange legislation

December 9, 1935, The length of
his service, the commissioner re
ported, will be dependent upon the
amount of funds available from
federal sources.
The commissioner reported theres
is more malaria in this county than
there was five or ten years ago.
He pointed out that formerly pa
tienty with malaria had recently
been traveling in some other parts
of the state or had moved into
Clarke county from another sec
tion. In 1935 there were several
cases of malaria among residents
of this county who had mot been
away from heme for months pre
ceding the attack, Due to improved
transportation facllities, the com
missioner stated, the ever-present
influx and egress of a small army
of transients into and out of Clarke
county had permanently deprived
this comfunity of a sectional im
munity which the public has en
joyed in the past. Very definitely,
he said, the mosquito in Clarke
county is entering a new role as a
direct menace to health ag well as
being a nuisance and very annoy
ing pest “Necesarily we must in
stitute more definite measures to
control the breeding of the mos
quito and rigidly quarantine pat
ients suffering from mosquito borne
diseaseg if we are to avoid a very
definite increase in malaria in the
future,” he declared. He reported
that the use of Atabrine in the
treatment of malaria has been mosy
satisfactory in Clarke county this
year, pointing out, however, that
‘this drug will not produce any
Ila.stmgf immunity to the disease.
l Communicable Diseases
The continuance of its success
ful control of typhoid fever and
diphtheria, formerly prevalent in
this community, was reported by
the commissioner in his 1935 re
port. In 1930 there were 54 cases
of typhoid fever in the ¢ounty and
in 1931 there were 47 cases. In
1935 there were only 7 cases; 1934,
6 cases; 1933, 2 cases; 1932, 6
cases. 'The control of diphtheria
has been just as gratifying. Be
tween 1922 and 1926 there were 233
cases of diphtheria with 24 deaths
in the city and county. Between
1930 and 1935 there were 32 cases
with 2 deaths. The city and coun
ty health departments were merged
in 1926, a step which has contri
buted very largerly to the effi
ciency in control of communicable
diseases, There were only ten
cases of diphtheria in Clarke coun
ty last year. There has not been
a death from this disease in this
county since 1931. Success in con
trolling this disease is attributed
to the expert service rendered by
physicians of the city and county
and the early diagnosis of the dis
ease in the health department la
boratory, together with the de
partment’s intensive educational
campaign.
The report of the commissioner
covers the maternity service divi
sion of the department, infant and
pre-school service, school service,
rabies control, communicable dis
ease control, dairy and food in
