DDT, war - developed insecticide the which may revolutionize living in the worlS of tomorrow by controlling certain diseases, is now a medical big shot and is being sprayed from trucks and airplanes to protect our soldiers but it first proved its worth on a mass scale beneath the dirty, Arabs flowing robes of louse-ridde- n and pnder the drab garb of inmates jf French prisons in Africa. North Africa with its sweating millions and unsanitary conditions Was chosen, the army says, as the initial tough proving ground for DDT, the chemical which in laboratory and small scale human tests had shown sensational promise as a killer of malaria bearing mosquitoes and typhus fever bearing body lice. DDT or ne was developed as an insecticide in this country early last year, says the Chicago Tribune. Midway in 1943, after louse powders and mosquito and fly sprays had been developed, Col. William S. Stone, chief of the armys preventive medicine section in North Africa, obtained supplies of both and undertook the venture of trying them on a broad scale. Strategy Is Needed. His little office on the steaming ' Algerian waterfront, the army says, was pervaded by the . ascending smell of sweating Arabs and decaying fish." There the American scientist mapped his strategy. He knew that American soldiers had partial protection against typhus because all of them were vaccinated, but there still was the problem of the unvaccinated natives in the African theater and he knew that most of them were crawling with lice. To get at the lice which carry typhus, Stone knew he had to get down to the dusky hides of the natives. His plan was to send typhus control teams or louse killers among the natives with the offer of dusting them with louse powders, free jf charge. Stone had improvised dust guns that could be inserted up a mans sleeve or cdown a womans back so that the dusting could be done without the removal of clothing, an important point in a land where the natives keep their clothes on for months at a time. French 'colonial officials shrugged incredulously when they heard of Stones plan. Plan to Dust Sheiks. Youll get nowhere with the Arabs, 'one said. But Stone was convinced that the sheiks and their followers would like to stop scratching. So he and his typhus teams started making the rounds. of a few villages. Many natives fled to the hills, but word soon got around that at long last an itchless nights sleep was to be had in old Araby through the courtesy of the Yankees and their .magic white dust. Native ' dock workers were next. And it was found that if the men were dusted only once a month, the lice could be kept at a safe level even though the men were exposed to lice in their own homes. That was all the proof the natives needed generally. Stone and his GI dusters did a rushing business. Natives flocked to the dusting stations as to a county fair. All this time, American soldiers were dusting their own undies with pocket-siz- e cans of DDT. At the end of 1943 only 14 mild cases of typhus fever, with no deaths, had occurred among all the American troops there that year. ' ' i (Continued From Page One) Salt Lake.
