FORTY-NINTH YEAR, NO- 8 PROVO, UTAH COUNTY, UTAH, THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 1934 PRICE FIVE CENTS line m GO-ROUNS2 A Daily Picture of What's Going On in National Affairs By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN I WASHINGTON The story published in this column July 25 regarding the development of a new serum in the fight against scarlet fever, has aroused considerable discussion discus-sion and some criticism in medical circles. The article, based upon information infor-mation received at the National Health Institute, stated that the public health service had discovered discov-ered a taxoid which produced immunity im-munity against scarlet fever in 82 percent of 1,100 cases tested, that this treatment was based on the patent of scarlet fever toxin held by Doctors George and Gladys Dick, of Chicago, that the Dicks had refused "to turn this patent over to the government, that Dr. George Dick had indicated his willingness to give this discovery to science, but that his wife, Dr. Gladys Dick, declined, and that as a result the scarlet fever range continued to be high. Several notable physicians challenge chal-lenge these facts. In order to clarify the situation it should be stated that control of the Dick patent is vested in a foundation known as the Scarlet Fever committee, with headquarters headquar-ters in Chicago. This committee has not confirmed the laboratory experiments of the United States Public Health Seryice. Furthermore, the Dicks in their own investigations find that the toxoid prepared by worekrs of the public health service is not really a toxoid, that it contains sixteen times as much unaltered toxin as : : n . . .lainMi that thp nro- yjl many v,iautii.vj, i """ duct immunized only forty percent - A .1 XI A. 1 instead of 87 percent:, ana mat altogether al-together satisfactory evidence of the existence of scarlet fever tox oid is lacking. For this reason, the Scarlet Fever committee felt that the time was not ripe to license any products to be sold under the name of Scarlet Fever Toxoid. ..The Doctors Dick were the recipients re-cipients of the Cameron prize In England and Scotland last year for their notable contribution to the fight against scarlet fever, and they are in line for the Nobel prize in the near future. The importance im-portance of their contribution to science cannot be Qver-empha-Bzed, and any reflection upon it is to be regretted. NO CHEERS .

MANSLAUGHTER CHARGES FILED Deputy Sheriffs Reuben Chria-tianson Chria-tianson and Walter Durrant were in Salt Lake today to arrest K. J.

The charge came as the result of the violent death of Mrs. Anna Rogeis of Salt Lake, in an automobile accident. Bannock was driving the automobile auto-mobile from which Mrs. Rogers was thrown and which rolled on top of her on the Lake View road one-third of a mile north of the Geneva road intersection last Saturday. The complaint states that Bannock was careless and reckless as well as under the influence in-fluence of intoxicating liquor. Ar-nel Ar-nel Neilson, special officer, is the complaining witnesn. Although Bannock, who has only one arm and one eye, states that another machine- crowded him off the road, officers scout the story as witessAs state there was no other car near him at the time. Mrs. Rogers died a short while after the accident at the home of Dr. B. C. Linebaugh in Pleasant Pleas-ant Grove, whence the injured persons were taken for treatment. treat-ment. She was badly cut, bruised and injured internally and bled profusely. According to the statement of the complaint, Bannock drove off the pavement on the west side of the road for a distance of 130 feet, then swerved abruptly to the east side and catapulted the car into a deep drain ditch.

ENEMIES OF 'NEW DEAL' DENOUNCED Return to "Old Order of Tooth and Claw" Out of the Question By FREDERICK A. STORM United Press Staff Correspondent GREEN BAY, Wis., Aug-. 9 (U.R) The New Deal is here to stay. President Roosevelt declared today in a nationwide nation-wide address that rang with a denunciation of those who would return to what he described de-scribed as "the old law of the tooth and the claw." The blunt warnings of the chief executive needed little or no interpretation, in-terpretation, as he served notice the prescription would be strengthened strength-ened instead of weakened. Banking On Masses The president clearly indicated he was banking wholeheartedly on the support-of the great masses in carrying forward his gigantic program Of recovery, when he added: "Those who would measure confidence con-fidence in this country in the future fu-ture must look first to the average aver-age citizen." The address, delivered in connection con-nection with Wisconsin's tercentenary tercen-tenary celebration, contained also political implications of national importance in that Mr. Roosevelt indirectly gave what observers regarded as an endorsement to United States Senator Robert V. LaFollette, who this year is up for re-election. t He said: "Your two 'senators, both old" friends of mine, and many others have worked with me in maintaining maintain-ing excellent co-operation between be-tween the executive and legisla-tivebranches legisla-tivebranches of the government. I take this opportunity of expressing express-ing my gratitude to them." Endorses LaFollette The president departed from his text to make the endorsement even stronger by mentioning by name Senators LaFollette and Ryan Ry-an Duffy for their cooperation with the administration.

Aug. 9 U.ir- With almost 10,000.000 American farmers farm-ers already doomed to the catastrophe catas-trophe of a century, a molten sun rocketed temperatures lo new heights today over two-thirds of the nation. Only scattered showers early today and a weather bureau prediction pre-diction that a blanket of cool air may fjread southward from Canada Can-ada brought hope to sweltering millions. Rains during the night in Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa brought only a few hours of comparative com-parative comfort. Only a heavily qualified prediction predic-tion of slight relief tonight brought hope to the sweltering millions. Death followed the sun across the stricken territory. A toll of more than 1,000 human lives, taken by thre months of almost uninterrupted heat, grew with every hour. Hospitals in Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Wichita and dozens of other metropolitan areas were filled with prostrated sufferers. Unofficially it was estimated more than 350 persons died of heat induced in-duced heart failure in 24 hours. The hard-baked earth, radiating stored-up heat in shimmering waves, aided the sun in boosting temperatures even above those of. yesterday, when all j time -records fell from Louisiana' to California.
