Botany at Bedford College, London : Prof. L. J. Audus

DR. L. J. AUDUS, who has just been appointed to the Hildred Carlile chair of botany at Bedford College, London, is a distinguished member of the younger school of plant physiologists. He received his physiological training at Cambridge under the late Dr. F. F. Blackman, whose admirable tuition matured so many brilliant pupils. From Cambridge he went to University College, Cardiff, where he was lecturer in botany until he joined the Royal Air Force in 1941. He was stationed at Singapore, and when that city fell he escaped to Java, but was there captured by the Japanese. For three and a half years he was a prisoner in Java and Amboina, undergoing many hardships. During this period he collaborated with Dutch men of science who were fellow prisoners to organise an extremely resourceful manufacture of yeast-food, on a scale sufficient to keep vitamin starvation at bay and thus prevent what would otherwise have been a terrible mortality from beriberi. Dr. Audus is no mean artist and the sketches he was able to bring home illustrate life in Japanese prison camps with dramatic clarity. On his return to Britain he was appointed to the Soil Metabolism Unit of the Agricultural Research Council, then situated at University College, Cardiff, under Dr. J. H. Quastel, and he was engaged in research on the action of growth-promoting substances in the soil. The Unit was closed at the end of 1947 with the departure of Dr. Quastel to Canada, and Dr. Audus had just been appointed as Monsanto lecturer in plant physiology at Cardiff when the opportunity of the appointment at Bedford College called him away. He goes accompanied by the regrets and best wishes of all his colleagues at Cardiff.

Observations on Pellagra in American Prisoners of War in the Philippines

Pellagra was observed in American troops living for 3 years on a deficient diet in Japanese Prison Camps in the Philippine Islands. Men developed pellagra while on a diet low in calories, high in carbohydrates and lacking in animal proteins, fresh fruits, and vegetables. Pellagra appeared in epidemic proportions after 6 months on a deficient diet. The signs and symptoms that were observed are described. The clear separation of certain dermal and neurological lesions according to specific vitamin lack was difficult. Processed foods, a crude yeast culture, and pure vitamin preparations were effective in controlling pellagra. Pure vitamin preparations were more effective when the diet was more adequate. The daily multivitamins utilized during 1944 reduced the incidence of the severe pellagra seen in 1942 and 1943.

HEALTH OF REPATRIATED PRISONERS OF WAR FROM THE FAR EAST

On the completion of hostilities with Japan it was inevitable that a large number of allied prisoners of war would be released from Japanese prison camps. Approximately one third of these were American. The period of captivity had ranged from three and one-half years to a few days. The conditions under which most of them had lived were those of starvation, filth and lack of suitable clothing, with periods of definite torture. Thousands died as a result of these hardships. It was believed that a careful health survey of those who survived might be of value in helping to determine the best future care for them, the possibility of the prevention of the spread of communicable conditions in their families and communities, and a better understanding of the changes which take place in man after exposure to such living conditions. To achieve these objectives a board was established by the

The Nutritional Status of Civilians Rescued from Japanese Prison Camps

SEVERAL thousand United States citizens interned in Japanese prison camps in the Philippines from the latter part of December, 1941, to the middle of February, 1945, received diets that progressively became so inadequate as to result in marked nutritional deficiencies. The turmoil at the time of release and the exigencies pertaining between that time and embarkation for the United States prevented a systematic appraisal of the nutritional status of these persons during that period. The arrival of these citizens in West Coast ports, however, provided a momentary opportunity to make an appraisal not only of the deficiencies suffered from the . . .
