will nolongerbe levelled" but' politics knows no armistice The political forces are already laying down their preliminary barrages Two weeks ago I reported a visit to Republican headquarters up on Connecticut avenue and 1 attempted to outline the Job that Chairman of the Republican National committee Harrison Spangler has laid out for himself Since then I have been admitted Into the front lines In the Demo cratie sector and now that I am back safe In limb and I hope sound In mind 1 shall attempt to report the strategy that Field Marshal Hannegan’ cohorts seem to be employing Democratic Chairman Hannegan Is a young man who has served In the ranks and worked his way up from ward politics to City Chflrman for St Louis whence he leapt to the national chairmanship Just to '‘give you a little of the atmosphere n which the Democrat Jo GIIQ operates let me say a word about a gathering held recently In the Mayflower Hotel (which also houses the Democratic headquarters) Just a few blocks down Connecticut avenue from the old rest dense that the GOP has taken over This gathering was the occasion of the retirement of Charley Michel sen and the assumption of his duties as Number On publicity man for the Democratic committee by tall and personable Paul Porter who said he felt a if somebody had put him down Jn Carnegie HaU handed him “Kriesler'a violin and said: "Now play " ” We all That was a pat remark We all knoW Charley Mlchelson know Porter who has been around Washington lq one important Job or another ever j since the New Deal began dealing And we know the typewriter of Charley Michelaon Is as hard for anyone but Us possessor to play upon as Kreisler's fiddle would be’ However when I was up at Democratic headquarters a tew days later there was Charley apparently giving such aid and comfort and encouragement as might be needed from the wings thing that makes It hard tor the Democrats is that the Republi- cans are In position to lift their copyright Aa one Democrat explained it to me It Is like this: "Nobody will have a chance to do the Job that Qiarley Mlchelson did tor us from 1922 on until the election of FDR The trouble Is the Republicans are In a position to use his theme song adapted of course to suit their needs "They have already started to do to the administration Just what Mlchelson did to Hoover They have started to attack the war agencies and all of the administration departments and activities exposing every blunder playing up failures and trying to show that everything the people think are burdens and can be traced directly to the administration "And you know" this wise old Veteran added "what you write and aay about how bad the other guy la makes a lot better reading than what you say about how good you VISV J ' i jlhink YOU are" That is one obstacle Chairman Hannegan la up against although the real responsibility falls on the shoulders of Mlchelson's successor Paul Porter and they are broad shoulders with a very good newspaper head between them But Hannegan has another bigger It la a Job for a master problem mechanic It Is a repair Job on the Democratic machine which Is euphemistically designated In the language of party politics as the Broken Machine Hannegan is a young energetic Irishman and it Is a good thing ha la young and energetic and optimistic because be has had to atart his Job of organization at scratch Any ora at Democratic beadquartera will admit that The reason is revealed In this simple chronology: BRIEFS Ohio’s six State universities Counthrough their cil have asked the director of education of Ohio Kenneth S’ Ray to call state conference on problems relating to the rehabilitation of returning servicemen U’ S civilian supplies ©f sugar will be 6 per cent than 1913 accordng to WFA Commentator Jim Farley took over pretty well running machine built 'up by Raskob Farley did a splendid Jot of keeping It spinning until 1938 It was a for'Fhreidcnt—"machtn"”th&t fkf Then Farley got other Ideas— one that two terma was enough foi Roosevelt and the other was that the next term It would be Farley The machine changed to a dog which for four yeara would only come when Its master poke and Ita master was Farley After the hlatoric split It fell apart except as the states kept their seg' ments intact So all Mr Hannegan haa to do U to put it together again if ha cat find all the parts That Is the first Job as far aa tht Democratic offensive goes As to the defense they feel they already have a pretty clear picture of the Republican war plana as revealed In activities to date They point to the campaign that won the Republicans another aeai In the House of Representatives from die first Congressional district of Colorado The Democratic candidate' was a

Joe Martin announced at the beginning that nobody wanted to do away with price regulation but that present regulation must be improved What the Democrats expect la ‘that the Republicans will drag out the hearings at long aa possible parade what they call "a chambei of horrors" before the people attempting to associate aQ the Irritations llmltstions and restrictions which are annoying the public on the administration There are other obstacles which are a product of the Ume which the Democrats hava to meet They are realistic about them One Is the fourth term of course That may partially be offset by the "don’J change horses In the middle of a ' stream" argument whJffMk counted upon to Influence a great number of people who think It might be disastrous to shift leadership whether you 'like It or not while the war Is going on Another situation which the Democrats face and about which there Is little or nothing to do Is the great migration of voters who have tailed to establish residence In their new homes or who are In the armed forces and will not be able to vote Aa one Democrat put it to me: "W know we are going to auffer more than the Republican! from this change of residence'

become an awesome magical byword Step by step the exhibit demonstrates the processes of producing penicillin: First there’s the stock culture with a mold similar to but not Identical with green molds found on fruits or cheese shown growing on base containing sugar Second the spores (seeds) from the stock culture are transferred to h nutrient solution containing sugar and they germinate Into white woolly plants In three days the mold covers the surface of the liquid This mold creates penicillin which collects In the nutrient but not In the mold plants j Third as the mold plants mature their color tuangea from white to because of the develop ment of numerous spares (seeds) At this stage the solution contains a maximum amount of penicillin and the culture Is ready for collection If allowed to become too old the in the liquid loses soma penicillin of its strength Fourth the first step In collecting the penicillin is to remove the mold growth from the liquid by filtration since the plant itself contain none of the drug The liquid thus filtered possesses small amounts of penicillin’ "An elaborate process of extraction and absorption is used to concentrate and remova the penlcil-lifrom the liquid" Fifth the purification process remove objectionable substance left in ita solution form penicillin loses some of its strength but' Is relatively stable a powder into which It Is converte
