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.

Third Strike
Against Rails
Being Studied
CHICAGO, July 10-W-Leaders
of three unions today weighed
whether they will apply the year's
third strike against the nation's
railroads.
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.
