|6 New Synthetic Drugs Indicate
I Eventual Victory Over Malaria
By Thomas R. Henry
Scitnca Editor of Th« Star
Six new synthetic drugs developed
| during the war give hope for the
eventual conquest of malaria.
They were reported to the Fourth
International Congresses on Tropical
Medicine and Malaria here today by
physicians from the United States,
England and France.
Malaria, it was emphasized, is
permanently debilitating. During
the war, it was the cause of the
greatest amount of sickness. It
renders almost a fourth of the
world’s population unable to work
at fullest efficiency. Its tendency
to recur season after season and to
be spread by local mosquitoes makes
it a primary public health problem.
Many New Drugs Developed.
The classical malaria remedy up
to eight years ago was quinine. In
some cases it cured the disease com
pletely and in others it acted as a
potent suppressive when given regu
larly in malaria seasons. Unfortu
nately, the chief source of this drug
was the Dutch East Indies, taken
over early by the Japanese. Scien
tists of all the Allied countries went
to work to find an effective substi
tute.
Rail Freight Rate Rise
Studied in Virginia
By th» Associated Prm
RICHMOND, Va., May 14—The
State Corporation Commission to
day had under advisement a plea
from Virginia railroads for approval
of further Increases in intra-State
freight rates.
At a public hearing yesterday the
railways asked the SCC to grant the
same increases on intra-State traf
fic which the Interstate Commerce
Commission granted May 6 on in
terstate traffic. The new rates are
30 per cent higher than those of
last summer in the East, including
most of Virginia, and 25 per cent
higher in the South.
Principal witnesses were Carl W.
Dilli and H. M. Riley, freight rate
experts of the Southern Railway Co.
Mr. Dilli devoted much of his testi
mony to a plea that the Virginia
Commission grant intra-State rate
Increases on shipments of bitumi
nous coal from Southwest Virginia
mines. The SCC denied such in
creases last year when other intra
State' raises were approved.
Mr. Dilli estimated that the high
er schedules, if approved in full,
! would mean an additional $385,000
to the Southern.
The commission gave no indica
tion of the probable date of deciding
the case.

Scores of new drugs were de
veloped. Most of them soon were
discarded. Some were too poisonous.
Some had little effect on the malaria
organism. Out of the lot came the
six the complete efficiency of which
remains to be determined. All are
available for use in hospitals or
under the direction of a physician.
TTiree of the new drugs, chloro
guine and pentaquine, are American.
The former cannot be considered a
cure but is a very active supressant,
said Drs. David P. Earle and Robert
W. Berlinger of the New York Uni
versity College t>f Medicine. It is

superior, they said, to quinine and
atabrine and is somewhat lees toxic
than either.
Relapse Rate Cut.
Pentaquine, described by Dr. A. S.
Alving of the University of Chicago,
has reduced the relapse rate from
South Pacific malaria from 08 per
cent to 25 per cent. A second treat
ment of the same persons has re
duced the rate to 2 per cent.
Dr. B. O. Maegraith of the Liver
pool School of Tropical Medicine
described the British chemists'
answer to the malaria problem—
paludrine. It notably reduces the
relapse rate and appears almost
nontoxic.
More than 38 kinds of worms have
been observed in human beings in
the Philippines, according to a re
port to the congresses by Dr. Marcos
A. Tubangi of the University of
Manilla. These are responsible, he
said, for hookworms disease in about
40 per cent of the Inhabitants.
