chapter to the Los Angeles Coun
ty Hospital polio center.
Vote to Send Two
It was voted to send Dr. Robert
Anderson, Salem physician, and
Mrs. Fae Lefor, superintendent
of nurses at Salem Memorial
Hospital, to the Los Angeles
clinic, Oct 26-J9 to learn the
latet methods of caring for polio
patients.
Mrs. Albert Gragg, secretary of
the Marion County Chapter, said
Dr. Anderson and Mrs. Lefor
would lead a training program
upon their return to teach the
newest techniques in polio care
to volunteers.
Work In Homes
These volunteers would do
much of their work in polio
patients' homes, she said. Mrs.
Ted Jenny is in charge of recruit
ing the workers.
On-the-job training would also
be given staffers at local hospi
tals. It was announced at the meet
ing that the county chapter owes
$8,628.68 in outstanding bills
through Sept. 1. Since there are
no funds in the local treasury, ap
plication has been made to the
national foundation for financial
assistance.
No More Aid
Mrs. Gragg said the national is
expected to pay the current bills,
but that no more aid could be ex
pected from the parent organi
zation until after the 1954 fund
campaign in January.
She pointed out that this has
been the worst polio year in the
history of the national founda
tion. (Applications of two new
polio patients were accepted.)
The National Geographic Soc
iety says the first storm windows
in America are believed to be
those at Monticello, Thomas Jef
ferson's home.

Gov. Patterson
AAA Meeting
l LOS ANGELES (Jl Gov. Paul
L. Patterson of Oregon said Thurs
day that the federal government
should either get out of the gasol
line tax business or use these taxes
for highway construction.
I The governor, addressing the
American Automobile Association
convention, said the federal gov
ernment collects abou two billion
dollars annually in automotive ex
cise taxes, about half of it in the
form of gas taxes. But. he said,
the government spends only about
200 million dollars of this on the
nation's roads.
I "The funds from this tax go into
the general fund and are in no
way connected with or contingent
upon the amount of money expend
ed by the Federal Bureau of
Roads." he explaied.
However, the governor added:
S "We of the Western states, where
the federal government holds near
ly half of our area, know it is im
possible for the government to get
out of the road building business
in this part of the country."
He said he favors enlargement of
jthe federal government's respon
sibility for highway construction
but feels that "the final duty for
the construction of suitable roads
for the people of the country lies
in the hands of the individual
states."

Brent is the son of Mr. and

He was romping with a play
mate Thursday morning on the
bank of Mill Creek near the Bur
rell's home when suddenly he
dropped out of sight
"He went in there," said the
playmate, pointing to a five-foot
hole in the creek.
The alarm was spread and two
city first aidmen arrived plus
four police officers. A score of
neighbors started searching. A
couple of men waded into the
creek, while first aidmen prepar
ed to start grappling.
The playmate kept insisting:
"He went in there."
A thoughtful police officer
started cruising around the neigh
borhood and found Brent sight
seeing near Summer and D
Streets.
Brent was handed over to his
tearful but much relieved mother.

Race Killer9 Could Cripple
Food Supply in Wide Area
TUCSON, Ariz. U) A University
of Arizona soils biochemist Thurs
day disclosed secret research on
a simple, almost fantastic new
weapon that might wipe out life of
an entire nation.
The element is strontium, and
Dr. Wallace H. Fuller said a dust
bomb produced from it could some
day cripple the food supply of a
wide area.
Its implications, he said,' could
even equal that of the recently pub
licized "race killer," the cobalt
bomb.
The Arizona professor has quiet
ly conducted research on the ele
ment for the past 2 Vt years. He is
on special assignment from the
Atomic Energy Commission.
He made the formal announce
ment of his work at a special press
conference.
Radioactive strontium introduced
into the human or animal body
would concentrate itself in the
bones and teeth. It has a half -life
of 25 years.
There, if allowed to build up in
sufficient amount, it could cause
radiation sickness or death.
As Fuller explained it in an in
terview with newsmen, "strontium
is potentially the most biologically
hazardous of the fission products."
It could be dropped from the air
to contaminate crops, lands and
water supplies.
"It is similar to calcium, which
is an essential plant nutrient" be
said. "So far as plants are con
cerned, strontium and calcium may
readily inter-change.
"Both elements are absorbed
equally well by plants through
leaves or from the soil via their
roots.
"Both , elements - concentrate In
the same tissues. Plants will build
Three-Party
Coalition to
Rule Germany
BONN, Germany WVChancel
lor Konrad Adenauer's Christian
Democratic Party decided Thurs
day night to form a three-party
coalition government with the
same partners who governed
West Germany for the past four
years.
A communique issued after a
six-hour meeting of the party
committee said the Christian
Democrats were ready to revive
the old coalition with the Free
Democrats (FDP) and German
Party (DP).
The Christian Democrats won
244 seats in the Sept 6 election,
giving them a majority of one in
the 487-member Bundestag (low
er house).
With the 48 and 15 seats of the
Free Democrats and German
Party, respectively, Adenauer
can dominate the Bundestag
easily.

up strontium in their tissues up to
five to 50 times as high a concen
tration as is present in a soil.
"Radioactive strontium could be
introduced into the human or ani
mal body by many means, by
contaminated water directly con
taminated food . crtps, or by food
crops grown in contaminated soil.
"If animals should eat forage,
such as grasses or alfalfa, that con
tain radio - strontium, the radio
activity would concentrate in their
bones.
"If large enough concentrations
were available, blood - forming
cells would be eliminated or in
jured.) Radiation sickness or death
would result.
"In cows or goats, the radio-strontium
would concentrate in the
milk that is used for human con
sumption. In this way the lethal
radiation might be transferred to
man.
"Man also could get it by con
suming leafy vegetables as well as
other edible parts of plants.
"So far as we know here no tests
have been conducted on animals or
humans to determine the effects
of eating foods or drinking liquids
on human or animal bodies.
"The AEC reports that all as
pects of the biological utilization
of radioactive strontium and other
fission products are being stud
ied in their research program
from the production of fissionable
products to their absorption by
plants and utilization by animals
to their final effects on animals.
"This research will permit sci
entists to determine the levels of
radiostrontium that are of health
hazard proportions.

Rescued After
Desert Jumn
LUKE AIR FORCE BASE, Ariz.
(jp) a, long and trying adventure
in the Arizona desert is all over
for nine tired but happy airmen.
The flyers were rescued early
Thursday from the sandy, barren
wflderness near- the ghost town
of Sundad, Ariz., where they had
parachuted from a. crippled KC07
tanker 20 hours earlier.
Aside from minor injuries they
were in good condition.
"Boy, were we happy to see that
plane,' said A.2.C. Daniel C. Cam
eron, 21, of Washington, D. C
He was referring to the pet
fighter1 that spotted them at dusk
Wednesday night after an aerial
search by 33 planes.
""We didn't have any water, and
that desert was really hot A
plane came back later and dropp
ed us food and water, and then
we just waited until morning."
The airmen were catapulted
into their dramatic experience by
an aerial collision between the
tanker and a B47 Stratojet during
a refueling operation.
The bomber, with a crew of
four, flew safely back to its sta
tion at Davis-Monthan Air Force
Base near Tucson. The four
motored tanker, its two right en
gines knocked out and a wing
damaged, veered off at a sharp
angle.
The pilot, Capt. F. F. Jenkinson
of Mineola, L. I., ordered the
crew to bail out; and then landed
the plane safely at Luke Air
Force Base.
