Page 2A EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD, Wed., March 8, 1963 Bidault Furor Adeno, Rhino, Entero viruses Are Booming, Too British Wrath Spares BBC LONDON W) The apposition Labor party and some British newspapers lashed the Conservative government and the security tervices Wednesday lor letting former trench Premier Georges Bidault slip in and out of England. Bidault, hunted by France as chief of the anti-De Gaulle ter rorist organization, appeared Monday on a taped television pro gram on the British broadcasting Corp. The government said Tuesday be apparently had left Britain. De Gaulle's officials, who tightly control the French govern ment radio and television service, implied that Prime Minister I Harold Macmi Soviet Troop Withdrawal Questioned MIAMI IUPD A Cuban refugee said Tuesday' he believes the Russians are trying to fool the United States by removing their troops from Cuba in daytime and bringing them back under cover of darkness. The man, Jose A. Farina, was one of 98 new exiles from Cuba who arrived here Tuesday aboard a Red Cross chartered plane. Asked if he had seen Soviet troops leaving Cuba, Farina in dicated he had, but said he be lieved "they're just taking them out in the daytime from Havana and bringing them back at night at the other end of the island." Most of the exiles told sub stantially the same story of mounting deprivation and hard ships in Cuba except for Dr. Julian F. Baldor, who said "things are not very bad in Cuba." "There are no food shortages, and I've never seen anybody hungry, despite rationing," said Baldor, an employe of the Cuban Department of Health. What he said not only dif fered from what the other exiles aboard Tuesday's eighth refugee flight from Havana said, but also from the reports ot hun dreds of other Cubans who have come here by plane and boat. Antonio Infante, 48, ot the town of Victoria de las Tunas in Oriento Province, told the most typical story Tuesday. The problem of finding fool wear in Cuba is so bad, Infante aid, that robbers take a victim's shoes and nothing else. "Your ahoes or your life," is their cry, Infante said. an s government should have kept the interview from being aired.. British wrath spared the vir tually independent BBC and con centratcd on the security serv ices, already under heavy fire because three Soviet spies have turned up in government serv ice in the past 19 months. Laborites to Confer The Labor shadow cabinet called a special meeting tonight to draft a demand for an un equivocal statement by the gov ernment on its part in the affair. The Laborites want to know exactly how Bidault slipped into Britain under the noses of se curity men, how he got away again, why detectives didn't track him down, and why offi cials apparently paid no atten tion to persistent press reports last January that Bidault was in London. The Labor move did not im ply any criticism of the right of the BBC to televise the inter view. Most sections of the press sol idly defended the BBC's right to present news as it thought fit, but the newspapers were asking the same questions the Labor shadow cabinet was asking. Forged Passports The Daily Mirror said Bi dault has three forged passports under different names and that this information has been passed to all ports and airports in Brit ain and France. Bidault has been reported in a number of cities in West Europe in the past year and apparently moves about the Continent with rela tive freedom. Scotland Yard's special branch of political detectives were re ported under orders to spread their search for a highly organ ized French Secret Army Organ ization cell operating from London. i: . -1'.-.

Macmillan Wins Vote On Budget LONDON MV Prime Minister Harold Macmillan moved ahead Wednesday with his plan to co ordinate nuclear defense with the United States after beating down an opposition attack on his record peacetime defense budget. Macmillan s Conservative party government Tuesday night de feated a Labor party motion of no-confidcnce in the House of Commons by a vote of 333-237. A separate Conservative motion n the government s policies was carried by 323-237. The victories were expected, since Macmillan has a 101-mem- ber majority in Commons. The reduced margin on the second vole resulted from the early de parture of Conservative deputies from the chamber. The two-day debute on the $5.1 billion budget showed the determination of Defense Minis ter Peter Thorneycroft to carry on with plans to shift the em phasis of British defense from the V-bomber squadron to the U. S. Polaris missile submarine. The budget reflects Macmil lan's Nassau agreement with Kennedy calling for establish ment of a multi-nation nuclear force within the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), based on the Polaris.' . Cultural Group MOSCOW (m A society for cultural relations with Iran will he set up in the Soviet Union, Tass reports. There are already 39 such groups for cultural re lations with other countries. Red Tourist Bureau Smashed by Blast BERLIN (UPD The West Ber lin city government Wednesday condemned the bombing of the Soviet tourist bureau here as "only making the situation more difficult." The blast late Tuesday night smashed the show windows and furnishings of the Soviet In tourist Bureau and damaged surrounding apartments in the center of the city, just off the Svendsen to Give Memorial Lecture Kester Svendsen, head of the English department at the Uni versity of Oregon, has been in vited to deliver a special me morial lecture at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, on March 11. He will discuss "Distracted Globe: Poetry and Science in the 20th Century" as the Gar nott Sedgewick Memorial Lec ture. The lectureship is named in honor of a former professor of .English at the University of British Columbia. He will also give two other talks, on the graduate study of English and on the sonnets of Milton and Donne, during his two-day stay on the Vancouver campus. Friday and Saturday, he will attend the Pacific Northwest Renaissance Conference in Bel lingham, Wash., and give a pa per, "An Apology for Spenser's Amnretti," on behalf of Waldo F. McNeir, professor of English, who is unable to attend. Kurfuerstendamm main street. The head of the city govern ment Security Department, new ly named Deputy Mayor Hein rich Albertz, said "explosives are not a means of solving po litical problems." He said West Berlin police had been ordered to go all out to find the unknown bombers. Police investigations so far have disclosed the blast was caused by about 10 pounds of "professional" explosive believed to have been set off by a chemical fuse. They have been unable to trace the bombers. The East German Communists said the blast was set off by "Fascist elements." No one was injured in the explosion which went off just as theaters and movie houses were emptying. A 77-year-old woman in a nearby apartment suffered a mild heart attack, and a West Berlin policeman about 20 yards from the Intourist Bureau was knocked off his feet by the con cussion. Albertz .said he "deeply re gretted" the attack on the In tourist Bureau, although the city government had warned when it opened that it might be a target of anti-Communist demonstrations.

By ALTON BI.AKKSI.EE Or the Assnciltd Prrft NEW YORK Is there a new virus around? It surely seems so to thou sands of persons hit this win ter by funny aches and pains and upsets, including bloody noses blamed on "the bloody virus." Perhaps it's true that brand new viruses have popped up, and might even start appear ing at a faster rate, says Dr. Robert Huebner of the Nation al Institute of Allergy and In fectious Diseases. Scientists only recently iden tified most of 120 or more viruses known to cause colds, fevers, muscular aches and pains, diarrhea, coughs and runny noses a great variety of mostly minor ailments. Man is their target, and man has evolved and multi plied over thousands of years. Biologically speaking, virus es had to evolve also "They weren't all present the day man was kicked out of para dise," says Dr. Huebner, di rector of the institute's labora tory of infectious diseases in Bethesda, Md. Influenza viruses change or mutate fairly frequently. Any flu vaccine has to incorporate the strain of virus blazing up into an epidemic. Other respiratory and in testinal viruses also might be mutating during chain-reaction epidemics, reproducing more viruses in each person. Something could go amiss in the genetic assembly line so that a slightly different virus is produced from time to time. With more than three billion people in the world now, the chances could be greater that a new virus could appear, Heubner ex plains. There's no way yet to prove this. Peculiar illnesses this year could well be due to some old virus that hadn't been active in recent years in your locality. This year, for example, in some eastern cities many peo ple got bloody nose:, beyond the expectation of slight bleeding due to injury to nasal membranes by colds, perhaps abetted by low hu midity in heated houses. These people got real nose bleeds, sometimes along with coughs, muscular aches and intestinal upsets. One nose and throat specialist called it "the bloody virus." Remember "Virus X," and "24-hour virus" and other names? These are easy designations for infections when doctora and patients don't go to the trouble and expense of lab oratory tests to identify the exact virus making a play ground of your body. Virus researchers have gone deeper and are well along in classifying 10 dozen or more viruses into types and families sometimes overlapping known as echo virus, RS or respiratory synctytial, adeno, rhino, entero, coryza, ARD, and ERC viruses. They also are working out the story still incomplete of just what symptoms each type produces. These viruses cause varying amounts' of an nual sickness, and Asian flu got in some extra hefty licks this year. Vaccines are controlling some of the most dangerous viruses, including polio, flu and smallpox. The push for practical vac cines against common cold, respiratory and intestinal vi ruses is much tougher, partly because so many viruses are involved. Quite aside from tha boon of vaccines to reduce hu man misery from these vi ruses, thii research has even, greater implications. One is the growing suspicion that garden-variety types of viruses may be implicated somehow in causing certain, human cancers, says Dr. Maur ice R. Hilleman of the Merck Institute for Therapeutic Re search in West Point, Pa. Two adeno viruses which cause respiratory troubles in humans have been found capable of producing malig nancies in animals, he points out. The research for vaccines against fairly ordinary viral diseases may help in defining causes of human cancer and applying similar technique for protection. Dr. Hilleman says. For a vaccine against colds, says Hilleman, the first task is to pin down which onea arc most important in causing, sicknesses, and then to learn how many effectively and. safely can be combined, in a vaccine. In some of the initial steps, he and associates found that. 11 viruses or virus families, apparently cause 40 per cent . of respiratory illnesses in children, and 19 per cent of those in adults. . Eugene Man Given One Year Jail Term A 38-year-old Eugene man was sentenced to one year in the city-county jail Monday after a probation terms for non-support was revoked in Lane Coun ty District Court. Elbert E. Emmons, 1410 W. Sixth Ave., admitted violating the terms of his probation by using intoxicants and failing to provide adequate support for his two children. He was con victed on a non-support charge in I960. GOP Maps 3-Year Budget-Cutting Plan WASHINGTON tm Congres sional Republicans have charted a three-year budget-cutting cam paign which Sen. Everett M. Dirksen hopes will yield an initial $5 billion saving. Dirksen, the Senate Republi can leader, said in an interview President Kennedy and Demo cratic congressional chieftains arc "off the beam" in contend ing there is a GOP move to slash spending by $15 billion in the fiscal year starting July 1. "We have put no price tag on our economy program," Dirksen said. "We are trying to go about it as scientifically as possible to make some substantial reduc tions in the budget over the next three years. Recreation Program Dirksen said that by paring established functions somewhat and by fighting against some of the new programs Kennedy is proposing, the Republicans hope to cut appropriations substan tially enough to reflect a $3 bil lion saving in actual expendi tures. As an example, he said Re publicans will kick off their drive in the Senate Thursday with opposition to a bill to pro vide for coordination and devel opment of state-federal outdoor recreation programs. "This involves an outlay of about $60 million," Dirksen said. "Some people might say that's a drop in the bucket. But i. we can keep these drops from filling up the bucket until it runs over, we will have accom plished an objective." Youth Employment Dirksen said the second target of Republican attack will be a youth employment measure ex pected to be brought before tha Senate late in the month. This bill would set up a youth conser vation corps and a community service corps, , Republicans think total an nual expenditures under this program would amount to about $500 million a year. Democrats contend the ceiling on expendi tures would be $280 million an nually. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota, deputy Senate Demo cratic leader, listed this measure as one Kennedy wants passed quickly. In view of the amount of unemployment among young people, he said he doesn't sea how Republicans can oppose it.
