PAGE THREN KIRKSVILLE, DAILY EXPRESS, MONDAY, 29, 1945. One of the most sorely missed household appliances, electric refrigerators, are once again on the market! Frigidaire's first postwar refrigerator, the Model MI-7, complete with many new and improved features, is now on display at all Frigidaire dealers throughout the country. The improved Meter-Miser unit, new neoprene door seal, new aluminum freezer door and improved thermostat have all been added to the Quickube ice trays, one piece cabinet, automatic interior light, and cold storage tray to make the new Frigidaire refrigerator the answer to the housewife's dreams during the wartime dearth of refrigerators. Production on this model began in July of this year when Frigidaire's contract for .50 caliber machine guns expired, but the sale of refrigerators to the public was prohibited by government regulations until a recent WPB order revoked all previous restrictions.

29, (UP Two Senators called today for special armed guards to protect America's atomic bomb experts against kidnapping and extortion. Acting Chairman Edwin C. Johnson, of the Senate Military Affairs committee, believed the scientists would "let themselves be shot" before divulging the bomb producing secrets. Nevertheless, he said, they should be under guard to keep from being exposed to any such danger. Sen.

Bourke B. Hickenlooper, agreed. "If there are men who know the entire formula," Johnson said, "they certainly should be protected. Bandits might get hold of them and exact the secret; enemy agents might get hold of them." Other Senate sources familiar with the views of leading bomb scientists revealed that some of them were worried about possible threats to their safety. They noted that some have already resigned from the atomic bomb project.

Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer, director of the Los Alamos, N. plant where the bomb was assembled, has resigned to return to his teaching position at the University of California. Johnson said he was sure that the Army "must have worked out something" with Oppenheimer and other scientists who have left the project.

Sen. Kenneth McKellar, was somewhat skeptical of the idea of furnishing a bodyguard, saying it would be "an invitation to attack." Jackie Brownell, 316 S. Marion, was admitted to the K. C. O.

After a report to the French Institute of Science, which caused a sensation here, he is about to try out the extract on humans. Prof.

Augustin Charles Hollande of the University of Montpelier has been looking for cure for TB for 37 years. According to his son, who works on research in a laboratory of the University of Paris, his father's discovery came one day when he was strolling across a grassy field in the Alps. "He noticed that different mushrooms had different effects on the grass," young Hollande told the United Press. In certain places the grass was dense and green. In others it was dead and withered.

But instead of rotting, the dead grass remained there year after year. "My father thought there might be a special property in this mushroom, which belongs to the cl*tocybe family, which killed bacteria in grass. He picked a quantitythey grow at altitudes of from 1,800 to 4,300 feet-and extracted their juice. Then he made of various bacilli and put some of the extract in the middle. and he showed a photograph, "here you see what happened.

The white patches are where the extract was placed. The dark spots are the bacilli which grew all around it'." Prof. Hollande then tried the extract on guinea pigs which had been inoculated with the Koch bacillus. Later he discovered that the bacilli had completely disappeared. "We claim no cure for our 'cl*tocybin'," his son said.

"We must first try it on humans to see if it will succeed. But of two things my father is sure. First, the extract inhibits the development of Koch bacilli. Second, in guinea pigs it causes these bacilli to disappear." The mushroom is edible and therefore the extract is completely harmless. It takes 300 grams of mushrooms to make enough of the drug to heal a guinea pig.

Several of the professor's colleagues at the university have offered themselves as subjects for experiment, but it will be months before the result is known.
