Isolate Virus
Causing Colds
Baltimore, Feb. 13 W By
working with volunteers at a
state reformatory, two Johns
Hopkins doctors apparently have
Isolated and transmitted one
train of whatever it is that
causes the common cold.
Scientists don't know exactly
what causes colds. Probably a
virus, or many viruses Isolating
the germ is an Important step
In learning how to km it.
Dr. Thomas G. Ward, assist
ant professor of bacteriology at
the Hopkins school of hygiene
and public health, and Dr. Don
ald F. Proctor, nose and throat
specialist at the school of medi
cine, will report on their work
tonight at the Johns Hopkins
Medical society.
They did it at the Maryland
state repormatory for males at
Breathedsville, Md., in Washing
ton county.
Researchers have been con
fident for a couple of years that
they could grow the cold germ
In chicken eggs which had been
Incubated and Injected with the
nasal discharge of a man with
a cold.
They took the germ out of one
chicken embryo and planted it
in another egg. The cold germ,
they believed, remained alive
through five transfers from one
embryo to another.
The tests at Breathedsville
tend to confirm this.
Clayton Talks
On Cold War
Washington, Feb. 13 VP) For
mer Undersecretary of State
Will L. Clayton told senators to
day that an arms agreement
with Russia at this time would
be "unfortunate because it would
only lull the United States into
a false sense of security."
Clayton said the western pow
ers never could fully trust Rus
sia. He argued that any such
agreement should come only af
ter the United States and her At
lantic allies have joined in an
Atlantic union which would give
them a "preponderance of
strength."
The one-time diplomat said he
agreed with the position that
Secretary of State Acheson has
taken against making any new
peace bids to Russia.
Clayton gave his views to a
senate foreign relations sub
committee which is studying
proposals for strengthening the
United Nations.
The only way to meet the
threat of communism, Clayton
argued, is for the United States
to take the lead in forming a
union which would have a sin
gle foreign policy, a single cur
rency, and no trade barriers.
The UN is not organized to
deal with the cold war, Clayton
said.
H- added the United States
must .decide now what to do
when the Marshall plan spend
lng ends in 1952.
He said this country can't
continue subsidizing the world
And he Insisted the United
States can't maintain a free en
terprise system if all Europe
goes to communism.

More Jerseys
Oregon showed a large
crease in both registration o
new animals and of transfers
during the last 10 years, I. W.
Slater, western fieldman for the
American Jersey Cattle club, told
meetings of the Marion and
Clackamas county groups over
the weekend.
He also reported on the expan
sion of Jerseys in this territory
which includes Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho and Utah.
Greatest expansion in Oregon
was in the Malheur and Jeffer
son districts due to increased ir
rigation. He also touched upon
the milk situation in that the
Jerseys have the highest fat per
centage and highest average of
solids other than fat.
All breeds of high test milk
should encourage the comple
tion of the study of the milk sit
uation and recommendations
made for placing butterfat con
tents on the bottle. He placed
emphasis on the work along this
line being carried on by Dr. G.
A. Richardson, OSC, in his milk
marketing research.
The Marion county meeting
was held Saturday night and
was in place of the regular meet
ing scheduled for next Sunday
The Clackamas county meeting
was on the regular date and held
at Oregon City Sunday. Slater
will speak at meetings of the
Polk county club Monday and

Wastes, Abuses
In 61 Training
Washington, Feb. 13 W) Pres
ident Truman asked congress
today to fix tighter standards
for the kind of school eligible
to train veterans under the G.I.
bill of rights.
He sent the lawmakers a re
port on GI training which said
there have been "abuses" and
waste" of government funds.
Mr. Truman said in an ac
companying letter that the re
port "makes it cleai that the
recent rapid increase in trade
and vocational training has in
cluded training of less than ac
ceptable quality."
"In a number of cases," the
president added, "veterans have
not received instruction which
meets reasonable standards."
The president's letter and the
report made it plain they were
aiming at schools which appear
ed to have been organized pri
marily to get in on the flow of
government funds for GI train
ing.
Under the GI bill, the gov
ernment pays tuition and certain
other expenses for a veteran in
training. The veteran himself
receives living allowance rang
ing up to $120 month for a mar
ried veteran.
There have been charges In
congress that some schools
amount to little more than a
"racket" with the school chief
ly interested in getting the gov
ernment tuition money and the
student-veterans chiefly inter
ested in getting the living al
lowance. U. .-Canadians

Richards Talks
On Molokai
Medical science has conquered
Hanson's disease (leprosy) to
such an extent that nobody need
die from it or become badly dis
figured if taken in time, report
ed Leverett Richards, aviation
editor of the Oregonian as he
spoke to the Chamber of Com
merce Monday noon.
However, the social aspect of
those who are fully capable of
taking up their lives in normal
fashion needs much education
in the minds of the general pub
lic.
Richards returned just Sun
day night from the island of
Molokai in the Hawaiian group
where he spent several days at
the leper settlement of Kalau-
papa. There, he found much
progress has been made as the
result oT new developments in
drugs. Many of those there have
had the disease arrested and are
as safe to mingle with others
as any person who has recovered
from a less dreaded disease,
Richard states. However, nobody
on the outside wants them and
they are forced to return to the
island.
A hospital where persons who
suspect they may have Hanson's
disease can be diagnosed has
been established on the outskirts
of Honolulu. Treatment is also
provided and many are able to
return to their usual occupa
tions without any stigma being
attached.
Richards said that there are
fully 5000 known cases of Han
son's disease in the United States
and legislation is now pending
in congress to establish mediral
rare corresponding that given
tuberculosis or other physical
ailments.

John L. Lewis
70th Birthday
Washington, Feb. 13 W The
iron man of the coal mines
John L. Lewis has reached
what he would call three-score
years and ten.
Quoting scripture and Shake
speare, weaving ornate language
into his vigorous outbursts
against coal operators, he is stay
ing on the job as president of
the United Mine Workers.
He reached the retirement age
of 70 yesterday, but the execu
tive board of his union recently
voted to continue him in office,
as had been expected. He ap
parently has no plans to step
down from his life-long fight
31 years as UMW president for
better wages and working con
ditions in the coal fields.
He celebrated his birthday
auietly at a family party in his
pre-Civil war home in nearby;
Alexander, Va.
His hair is getting grayer, and
last week he smiled broadly for
photographers, but the Iowa
born labor leader shows few
signs of rrcilowing from the
scowling, roaring spotlight fig
ure he has been for the past 15
years.
Widely regarded as complete
boss of 400,000 miners, he has
soft-pedaled such talk and claims
his only power is to recommend
and persuade.
Police on Lookout
For Pinson in Car
The Dalles, Feb. 13 VP) State

one of the three men in the car,
which had a Montana license,
may have been Pinson.
No road block was set up here,
but state police in the gorge
area were alerted along with
others in the metropolitan Port
land area.
Pinson escaped the prison May
30, 1949, with William P. Ben

In Guided Shells
Washington, Feb. 13 m Sen
ator Johnson (D-Tex.) of the

tee said today Russia is at least
two years ahead of the United
States in the development of

Johnson told a news confer

"But I'm afraid we are behind
Russia in the ability to deliver
our explosives in battle," he
said, addlng:"The three services
each has a missile program of
itb own but, as yet, no really

"Publicity about some of our
