Versatile Antibiotics
Antibiotics have turned out to be one of science’s most versatile
discoveries.
First they turned mortality tables upside down in the treatment of
numan diseases, i ney put more
food on our table by stopping
costly plant and animal diseases,
too.
Then scientists found that tiny
amounts of antibiotics added to
farm feeds boosted weight and
growth rate of animals and poul
try.
Now scientists report that anti
biotics can be used to keep meat
fresh for several days without re
frigeration. Researchers of Chas.
Pfizer & Co., Inc. told of this latest
use at the Third Annual Antibi
otics Symposium in Warhington,
D.C.
The investigators pointed out
that only limited amounts of meat
can be handled by drying, salting,
smoking, canning and pickling.
Most fresh meat is distributed
either by rapid handling in coun
tries without refrigeration, or by
chilling.
" " ' "
w
Low temperatures, however,
slow down enzymes which act to
tenderize meat. Injection of Ter
ramycin prior to slaughter, the
scientists found, inhibits growth of
bacteria and permits higher stor
age temperatures so that meat can
be aged in much shorter time.
Tests indicate that as little as one
half part per million of the potent
antibiotic inhibits bacterial spoil
age of fresh beef, pork and mutton.
Experiments conducted at a
commercial packing nouse in Cuba
proved that treated beef carcasses
remained fresh even when held at
95 degrees Farenheit with high
humidity.
In countries such as the U. S.
and Canada, antibiotics can un
doubtedly be used along with re
frigeration. In areas without ade
quate refrigeration, antibiotics
may help to deliver a more whole
some product to consumers.

Sen. Neuberger for
Hawaii Statehood
Altho Democratic
WASHINGTON, UPV—Sen. Neu
berger (D-Ore), a backer of state
hood for Alaska, said today he i§_
willing to vote this session for
statehood for Hawaii alone as a
means of “shaming” the Republi
can administration into eventually
admitting both territories on equal
footing.
“I was shocked,” Neuberger said
in a statement, “by the State of
the Union message which contin
ued to press for statehood for Ha
waii but urged further delay in
Alaska’s admission.”
“All of us recognize the reasons
for this. Republicans believe Ha
waii probably would send two Re
publican senators to Congress, but
Alaska undoubtedly would elect
two Democratic senators. Many of
us who are Democrats favor state
hood for both territories, not on a
political basis but on the basis of
what is right and fair. Yet with
this administration, which is the
most partisan administration in
many decades, politics calls the
tune.”
Neuberger said “Because state
hood for either territory takes
precedence over partisan consid
erations I will be willing to vote
for Hawaii’s admission alone.
“We can see the administration i
won’t budge with respect to Alas
ka, so let’s admit Hawaii alone.
Then, when the new Democratic
president takes office in January,
1957, Alaska likewise can become
a state of the Union.”

Yesterday he called ■ Richburg
