Newspaper Guild Plans
New St. Louis Newspaper
CHICAGO, Aug. 28.—am—Mil
Ion Murray, president of the Am

terday that there is “a very good
possibility that a new newspaper
will be established in St. Louis,
where residents have been with
out newspapers since the carriers
walked out August 16.
“Our men in St. Louis have been
.vorking on it,” he said, “and
there is a good chance that a daily
cf about 100,000 circulation will be
established to serve the commu
nity unless the lockout ends.”
At the same time Murray re
pealed a telegram he sent to J.
A. Krug, chairman of the War
Production board, asking that the
WPB printing and publishing divi
sion make available “an adequate
supply of print paper for any
group or individual who desires
,o provide a news publication for
the citizens of the St. Louis area.”

NAZIS GAVE JAPS
TECHNICAL DATA
WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.—<U.R>
The Germans laid open much 01
their technical knowledge to Japan
in an attempt to keep the United
States “as busy as possible in the
Pacific,” Secretary of Navy James
Forrestal disclosed today.
Unveiling new information on
German scientific achievements
before V-E day, Forrestal said
the Nazis sent plans and informa
tion about war developments to
the Japs by submarine. Often they
sent technicians along to help the
Japanese copy their developments.
Forrestal revealed that Ger
man scientists had already suc
ceeded in using hydrogen perox
ide, a seemingly innocuous anti
septic, as fuel before the Allies
won the war in Europe.
They first used peroxide in
launching devices for V-l rockets
and in auxiliary pumps for the
V-2s, Forrestal said. Later the
German navy turned the new fuel
to naval uses “with what looked
like surprisingly good results,” he
added.
Forrestal also revealed that the
Germans had been working on a
“true” submarine which would
almost operate entirely under
water. Present submarines must
spend much of their time at sea
on the surface.
Forrestal said the Nazis, by
means of a “Schnorkle” breather
pope, had been able to develop a
U-boat which could spend long
periods beneath the surface.
He said the Germans also had
developed a new submarine whicii
they called “Model 21,” capable
of traveling underwater at 18
knots, a speed much faster than
heretofore attained by any under
water craft.
ONLY ONE KURILE i
ISLAND TO TAKE:
—
Bv BRUCE W. MUNN
United Press Staff Correspondent
LONDON, Aug. 28. — (U.R)— Soviet 1
Russia today completed occupation
of all but one of tjtie Kuriles Island 1
barrier between the Pacific and the 1
Sea of Okhotsk, taking Etorofu, 80
miles Northeast of the Japanese 1
home island of Hokkaido, while Si- '
berian troops stood poised on the 1
southern tip of Sakhalin Island, 24
miles from Hokkaido.
The Soviet communique, broad- i
cast by Moscow Radio, said troops 1
from Kamchatka operating with the I
Russian Pacific Fleet moved into 1
Etorofu and the two isles of Uruppu '
of Kunashiri stands between the (
Soviet amphibious forces and Hok- <
kaido.
Russian prisoner of war cages 1
were swollen with an additional
36,000 Japanese officers and men, <
the communique said, for a total 1
bag of 474,000, approximately hall 1
of the total strength of Japan's <
Manchurian armies when Russia e
attacked Aug. 9. (
The communique announced the
complete occupation of Sakhalin, ;
previously revealed by the Soviet 1
Radio at Khabarovsk,* which urged <
the troops standing on the shores
of Soya Strait, 24 miles from Hok- '
kaido, to prepare for “tasks
ahead.”
The broadcasts mentioned no
plans for landings on Hokkaido but
did indicate the Far Eastern
Armies had not yet finished their
work.
Tokyo Radio said Japanese and
and Soviet commanders had
reached an agreement to cease hos
tilities at the Western shore port
of Haihoro at 9 a.m. Saturday. Rus
sia did not confirm this but Khaba
rovsk Radio announced Soviet
forces had "accomplished their
task of liberating the Southern part
of the island.”
However, Kahabarovsk, referring
to "tasks ahead,” urged the Rus
sian troops to obey the orders of
their commanders and carry out
their military duties to the very
last. The broadcast warned of Jap
anese spies in the Soviet rear and
cautioned the troops to “show no
magnanimity to the enemy.”
Other Khabarovsk broadcasts in
dicated Russia expected Korea to
lean toward the Soviet Un on.
"The Korean people know that
the Red Army has liberated the
Korean people from the Japanese
yoke,” one broadcast said. “The
Korean people who have welcomed
the Red Army with open arms are
looking forward to a continuation
and strengthening of a new friend
ship.”
Another broadcast expressed be
lief that Korea will look for "ties
of close friendship with the Soviet
i Union.”

Post-Surgery Patients
Get Well Under New Plan
By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE
Associated Press Science Editor
CHICAGO, Aug. 28 — W) — A
rapid-recovery treatment after
surgery has been studied at the
University of Illinois College oi
Medicine, utilizing liver function
tests and other chemical and phy
sical data to determine rate of con
valescence.
Hernia patients, who normally
are not allowed out of bed for 1C
days, are getting up the day after
their operations. They walk all
around the hospital wards in less
than six days. They are ready to
go home on their sixth postopera
tive day, but are usually kept long
er for study.
One recent patient was out and
drove his car six days after his
operation.
Exercise, food and certain sup
plements both before and after the
operation, make the difference in
recovery time.
The treatment was tried first on
hernia patients because that ope
ration is standardized. If the treat
ment works well at one place it
probably can be repeated general
ly. The next stey is to extend the
treatment gradually to other types
of surgical operations. Gall-bladd
er patients may be the next as
that, too, is a standarized lurgi
cal procedure.
The new treatment was develop
ed as part of a war medicine pro
ject in the department of internal
medicine and surgery by Drs. Rob
ert Keeton, W. H. Cole, H. H. Mit
chell, N. O- Calloway and Mr. N.
Glickman.
In the beginning of this project
a study was made of the dam
age done to the body by a surgical
operation and by the anesthetic.
For example, it was found that the
action of the liver is impaired by
a general anesthetic, the sort
which renders a person uncon
scious. Livers were little affected
by local anesthetics. Food, exer
cise and drugs effects were also
studied.
Before operation, the hernia pa
tients are given some mild exer
cises for a few days. They are also
well fed.
The first day after the opera
tion when most patients are either
unable to eat at all, or only little,
they receive food b y o n e
or m o r e of several detours.
One way is through a tube direct
ly into the stomach. Others are
ed by a hollow needle into a vein.
This latter gives them either glu
cose, or amino acids, which are
the building stones of protein
foods. By vein alone a patient may
get as much as 8C0 to 1,200 calo
ries in one day. Transfusions ar«
also possible.
While still in bed these patients
begin mild exercises. They push
weights upward with their arms.
After the second day they begin
to walk upstairs. They proceed
leisurely, being careful never to
make a sudden move or effort.
No bad effects have been found.
Physical and physiological tests
have verified the improvement.
The feeding appears to be very
important. Checks have shown that
starvation, even for a day, may be
most detrimental.
Along with food and exercise,
various drugs are being tried.
Some of these have been found
helpful in speed ng recovery, but
that section of the treatment has
not yet been published.

during reconversion. He said the
minimum wage should be upped
from 40 to 65 cents an hour and
urged passage of an expanded so

NATION’S STRIKE
TOTAL IS 50,000
(By The Associated Press)
The nation’s strike total, inclini
ng many idled in long standing
lisputes, touched around the 50,
)00 mark yesterday, a new high
tor the last several days.
The bulk of the workers off their
obs were involved in disputes at
plants and business which broke
i>ut before Japan s surrender offer
two weeks ago. There have been
many small strikes and walkouts
since, but most of them were
quickly settled.
The Detroit area, which was the
hardest section hit by work stop
pages in wartime, reported a
series of labor disputes Monday
which kept idle some 10,500. One
of the newest walkouts involved
1,500 at four Gar Wood Industries,
Inc., plants, but spokesmen for
UAW-CIO Local 250 said that sen
iority grievances of the employes
had been settled and that produc
tion would be resumed yesterday. I
Another new dispute in the mo
tor city kept 500 off their jobs at
the Murray Corporation of Amer
ica.
The biggest single stoppage in
the Detroit area was at the Kel
sey Hayes Wheel Co., where 4,500
were idle, while 1,500 workers at
the Ford Motor Co. Rouge plant
were set home Moday night after
the Kelsey-Hayes strike halted the
flow of wheels and brake drums
to the plant.
The largest of the new disputes
was in Savannah, Ga., where
about 3,300 employes of the Savan
nah Machine and Foundry compa
ny were idled in a dispute wiich
union leaders said stemmed from
proposed reinstatement of a pre
war contract provision for double
time for overtime.
A sitdown strike of 5,000 em
ployes at the Campbell Soup com
pany plant in Camden, N. J., end
ed Monday night after one day
when the firm agreed to a three
cent-an-hour wage increase retro
active to March 1.
A week-long stoppage at the
Sloss-Sheffield Steel & Iron Co. at
Birmingham, Ala., also ended
Monday night, enabling some 1,
900 workers to go back to theii
jobs.
