...credit for putting over Tide ("Gets clothes cleaner than any soap-any soap"), the first successful all-purpose detergent. Yet Morgens denies he ever authored an original P. & G. idea, claims "everything we do is created, adjusted and tested" by his "team." ¶ Dr. Wilbur G. Malcolm, 55, a bacteriologist turned business executive, will take over as president and chief executive of American Cyanamid Co., the nation's seventh largest chemical company (1956 sales: $500 million), succeeding Kenneth C. Towe, 64, who moves up to the newly created position of board chairman. Born in Moscow Mills, Md., Malcolm astonished...
...prefer to grind up the whole insects and make them into an injectable preparation. (In this method, one school argues, there may be a danger of sensitizing a subject to allergy-causing proteins from other parts of the insect's body.) At the Hollister-Stier Laboratories in Spokane, Bacteriologist Edward L. Foubert Jr. has concluded that only a few species of Hymenoptera are important stingers in any one area, and that since most victims do not know just which varieties have stung them, it is best to combine venoms in an extract from the whole bodies of several species...
Died. Frederick George Novy, M.D., 92, famed bacteriologist and faculty member of the University of Michigan from 1886 to 1935, dean of the medical school 1930-35, who studied in Europe under Robert Koch and Louis Pasteur, in 1888 helped establish the first U.S. bacteriological laboratory; in Ann Arbor, Mich...
...about 250,000 in the U.S.) were anxiously wondering about a possible clue to their mysterious disease, which is marked by near-total loss of muscle control. (It happens when the myelin sheath, a fatty insulation around nerve pathways, degenerates for unknown reasons, thus short-circuiting nerve signals.) Philadelphia Bacteriologist Rose Ichelson, 59, reported success in cultivating an obscure microbe, Spirochaeta myelophthora, which she has found in the spinal fluid of MS victims. Inference: multiple sclerosis is caused by the spirochete, and early attack on it should lead to cure or alleviation...
...better-understood diseases have been attributed to microbes that were later proved not guilty.) If MS is laid to infection, it becomes almost impossible to explain why it so rarely attacks both husband and wife, or both of identical twins. Said the National Multiple Sclerosis Society guardedly: now that Bacteriologist Ichelson has published her long-awaited method for cultivating the spirochetes, other scientists can check whether they are really found only in MS victims. If so, an effective treatment might still be years away...
