HOODOOED NORMANDIE
There is not much consolation to
be had in connection with the virtual
sinking of the S. S. Normandie? ex
cept for one thing.
The French had gone to a lot of
expense to build the giant vessel so
that she could be converted to an
airplane carrier in wartime. To this
end, special funnels were arranged
on the side of the deck, to give space
for runways; especially large eleva
tors were installed at each end of
the snip; and the top deck consisted
oi x'ne biggest "sporis deck in me
world.
However. U. S. naval engineers
decided that despite all the French
preparations, the Normandie's UPP^*
decks were not strong enough to hold
a flock of planes. The French had
sacrificed reinforcements below, for
the purpose of beauty in the pas
senger salons.
As a troop ship the Normandie
was considered useful, but not near
ly so useful proportionately as a
medium-sized vessel, such as the
Manhattan. Reason: big ships draw
so much water that they could not
efficiently carry troops to Dakar or
West African ports. Small boats
would be necessary to take soldiers
and cargo ashore.
Also the Normandie was too big to
get through the Suez canal.

SINKING U. S. TANKERS
The navy is being more hush-hush
than usual regarding the sinkings of
oil tankers off the Atlantic coast.
However, here arc a few important
facts about the situation which are j
r.ot military secrets.
First fact is encouraging. The
tankers sunk were old, small and
slow. All of them were 20 years old
over, ar.d the largest, Standard
Oil's India Arrow, was 8,327 tons.
On the surface, this would indi
cate that oil and gasoline losses on
the East coast would not be heajy^
Huwevei, tills ia iiuv the C?5c. rwi
all of the big, new American tank
ers have been taken over by the
navy. This was under an arrange
ment whereby the maritime com
mission had lent the oil companies
around $800,000 per vessel to build
fast modern tankers making 19
knots. This is so fast that they
can avoid submarines and also keep
up with the fleet.
However, these new tankers, built
in co-operation with the navy, are
now with the fleet.
? Buv Defense Bonds ?
HEAVY LOSSES
Two other factors indicate the im
portance of the sinkings on the At
lantic coast. One is an announce
ment made by the British last week
that sinkings for the entire Atlantic,
including the East Coast of the Unit
ed States, has been heavier in Janu
ary than ever before. The other is the
fact that comprehensive rationing
of oil and gasoline for the East coast
is now a certainty. In other words,
oil and tanker losses have been very
heavy.
Reason for these losses is easy to
understand. It requires no official
explanation. As everyone knows,
especially the enemy, we had to
rush various kinds of shipping to
the Pacific to replace the damage
done at Pearl Harbor. Also we had
a large number of warships busy
convoying vessels across the North
Atlantic.
Hence we have been caught snort
handed on the East coast.
Note: Most people don't realize it,
but the oil shortage along the At
lantic could be relieved considera
bly by a curtailment of tank car
rates on gasoline and fuel oil. Last
tall the rail rates were reduced on
crude oil but not on gasoline or
fuel oil.

Democratic insiders are predict
ing that Gov. Herbert Lehman of
New York will be persuaded to run
for a fourth term this year. Lehman
has told party chiefs he doesn't want
another term, but they urge him to
be a candidate again on the ground
of wartime duty . . Meanwhile
former District Attorney Tom Dew

ing his political fences for another
try at the governorship. This will
be the springboard for a second sbnt

tion in 1344.
Wisconsin's Gov. Julius Heil will
run for a third term this year to
get himself in position to take on

he comes up for re-election in 1944.

CHOLERA REMEDY
NOW PERFECTED
Disease Costs Hog Raisers
Twenty Millions Annually.
By W. H. BOYNTON
( Proleisor oi Vttrrtamty Scirmcr.
U Biversttr ?! Cahlaimia.)
Hog cholera is admittedly one of
the most destructive of all animal
diseases. The yearly cost of this
disease has been estimated at be
tween $20,000,000 and $30,000,000 in
the ITnit?*? =Icr.s. With?. the
past few years the author has de
veloped at the University of Cali
fornia college of agriculture a new
tissue vaccine which is expected to
cut this annual cholera "tax" very
substantially.
This vaccine is known as BTV and
is now available from commercial
companies. It has been used on
more than 100,000 hogs on the Pacif
ic coast and in the Middle West.
BTV is composed of finely ground
glandular tissues from hogs infcct
ed with cholera. These tissues are
taken from the hogs at the height
of the disease and then treated with
puraiyptol. The result is a vaccine
which cannot produce cholera in a
hog but does produce an active im
munity to the disease.
When BTV is used, vaccinated
pigs can mingle with unvaccinated
pigs without transmitting cholera
to them. Furthermore, pigs harbor
ing latent infections, such as pneu
monia or enteritis, at the time of
vaccination arc not subject to the
danger of flare-ups of these infec
tions due to the lowering of body
resistance. This danger of lowered
resistance followed by death from
some secondary infection has been
one of the major drawbacks of the
semm-vim? of vnrrination
for cholera.
The vaccine is not intended for
pigs that already have cholera. It
should be given only to swine that
Ho not have the dissssc. Sine* 2
period of at least three weeks is re
quired to build up a satisfactory im
munity in the animals, pigs which
have been exposed to cholera or are
suspected of having it should be
treated first with anti-cholera serum
to make sure that the infection is
checked. Later they can be given
the tissue vaccine.
At present this vaccine is not rec
ommended for garbage-fed pigs, al
though successful experimental re
sults have been obtained by admin
istering the vaccine before and after
weaning.

Research on Hemp
As soon as science can produce a
hemp plant free ?from a narcotic
drug, this crop will offer a good
market for farmers. Unfortunately
the plant, in its present form, pro
duces the narcotic, marihuana. The
misuse of this drug has caused the
passage of the federal marihuana
act which forbids the growing of
hemp .except under federal super
i vision.
! Because of the lesll ictlofiA, less
than 1,000 tons annually are grown
] in this country although in former
years the growing of hemp fiber
was a flourishing industry, in 1859,
Kentucky alone produced 75,000
! tons.
The word "hemp" is sometimes
' applied to about three different fiber
plants including manila hemp and
sisal hemp. The common variety
grows well in the United States, at
taining a l*ight of 3 to 20 feet and
sometimes yielding 800 to 1,000
pounds of fiber per acre. The plant
is cut by machine and allowed to
dew-ret on the ground. Then it is
i collected in stacks and sold to the
hemp mill. The mill dries the stalk
! and removes the fiber in a "hemp
I brake."
Cordage, which can be made from
| hemp fiber, is one of the urgent
needs of the defense program. Hemp
| can also be used in making ciga
I rette paper and this commercial out
let has already been opened. From
the seed a useful oil can be ex
I tracted and when mixed with other
seeds the hemp can be utilized as
bird food.
Research is already under way to
find a variety of hemp that will con
tain only a small amount of mari
huana. This work appears promis
ing since some plants have been
found to produce only small quanti
ties of the resin. *
