Salem, Oregon, Tuesday July 11 1S53 Scientists i Form New Group To Combat Biggest Problem In Medicine Growing Old By Alton Blakeslee LIEGE, Belgium, July 10 -CffV Scientists from 14 nations today formed a new society to combat man's biggest medical problem growing old. And, said some. It is not too much to hope for 100 years of active, healthy life as the normal human life span. The new society is "The International Association of the Geronto logical Societies." Gerontology is the scientific study on .why and how people wear out and grow old. Dr. E. V. Cowdry of Wash ington university, St. Louis, Mo, was made the president , A main goaL he said, is "to add more life to our years.' The average life span is going up and every nation is getting a larger and larger proportion of older people. But these extra years are not all ' good ones. It is estimated that 40 per cent more of people past 60 are invalids and about 57 per cent at the age of 65. The percentage goes up with the years. Diseases and normal wear and tear cause the Invalidism for kill people far too soon. The new association will spur research, and seek funds for re search into . the many different causes of aging biological, med ical and Asocial. "We ought to have healthy men of 100 in the next generation," said Dr. William Kountz of St. Louis. They could be as .active and healthy as men of 40. The association Is composed of societies from the United States, Great Britain; France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Portugal, Ire land, Spain, Switzerland, Finland, Argentina, Sweden and Italy. Columbia Area Pollution 3rd Worst in U. S. PORTLAND, July 10 -JPh The Columbia river basin is the third worst in pollution in the country, an engineer said here today. R. L. McGrath, assistant basin engineer for the Northwest drain age basins office, told a national water pollution control advisory board that industries were to blame. The board opened a week-long study of Pacific Northwest condi tions. After another session here tomorrow the group will go to Longview, Olympia, Seattle and Grand Coulee d&m. Mcuratn said industry- was dumping 85 percent of the waste that pollutes . Pacific Northwest streams. "Polkjtional wastes entering the watercourses of the Pacific North' west ate equivalent to a raw sew age discharge from 13,500,000 people. This is about three tunes " the basin'r estimated 1850 popula tion," he said. He added that only the Ohio and Missouri basins were more pol luted. . Kenneth H. Spies, assistant chief engineer of the Oregon Santiary authority, said the problem soon will become critical for some Wil lamette valley cities.

The decision was made especi ally weighty by the mounting mil itarv struggle in Korea and im pending heavy rail movement of supporting troops and supplies. And President Truman has punctuated this situation with firm action which cut short the recent 14-day strike of AFL switchmen on five railroads. - The switchmen's union aban doned its walkout on four rail roads voluntarily at the govern ment's urging last Thursday. But, when the union said its strike would continue against the Chi cago. Rock Island and Pacific, the president ordered the army to run the railroad. The three unions trying to de cide whether they will strike are the Order of Railway Conductors, the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, and the Railroad Yard masters of America. The three unions are free to strike under the railway labor act after Saturday, July 15, having completed a 30-day cooling off pe riod following report of a presi dential fact finding board. The primary demand, of the un ions for some 79,000 yard workers-is a 40-hour work week for the same pay they now receive for 48 hours work.
