Bacteria's Food Intake and Antibiotic Action Described
Dr Strominger compared bacteria to membranes through which food passes from blood plasma. Bacteria ingest food under high pressure, build a robust cell wall like a rope net, and penicillin blocks the final rope links causing collapse. This insight may guide rational antibiotic development and reduce infection risks for cancer and leukemia patients.

Solon presses McNamara to answer Viet Nam gear charge
Senator Gruening demanded that Defense Secretary McNamara personally respond to a charge that the Pentagon discards usable surplus equipment needed in South Vietnam. He urged testimony after subcommittee investigators finish reports on surplus property, arguing the Army routes usable gear for repair or disposal rather than reuse. The Pentagon defended its disposal rate as necessary to keep inventories current and maintain gear quality for troops in Vietnam.

Wallace victory sparks Alabama political repositioning
Alabama voices in Washington argued the Wallace win alters little about plans. Martin attributed the vote to public protest against Johnson Humphrey and Katzenbach and pledged to run against Mrs Wallace as her husband embodies the Democratic party. In other states, Republican and Democratic runoff battles emerged in Oklahoma and Florida with candidates like Frazier Reams Jr. and Haydon Burns drawing runoff dates. Editorials varied, noting Alabama now faces a real opposition in November while debating race and conservatism’s foothold.

Negroes Face Runoffs in Alabama 1955 Elections
In the first major push under the 1955 Civil Rights Act, about 230,000 Alabama Negro voters, roughly 26 percent of the electorate, helped propel many Negro candidates toward runoffs. Runoffs for county sheriff were likely in Hale, Perry, Macon and Bullock counties with a second primary on May 31. Perry County saw runoffs for tax collector and two governing-seat posts, while Choctaw County neared a nomination with Rev Lt Spears within six votes of victory amid two white opponents. The Rev Oby Scott Jr. faced a runoff for Perry County tax collector. Sheriff William Lee of Greene County beat Negro worker Thomas Gilmore, despite strong Negro backing, and Gilmore’s third-party slate threatens November. Wilcox’s P C Gummie Jenkins won again against Walter J. Calhoun despite a Negro majority. Albert Turner, in a western race, reached a runoff against a white incumbent for a House seat. Wilcox’s Lonnia Brown, the only Negro Senate candidate, also entered a runoff.
