TO EMPLOYEES SOUTHERN OREGON SALES Report for Work Wednesday, Aug. 15 at 1:00 P.M. By Walter Wilcox United Press Staff Correspondent Berkeley, Calif., Aug. 15 (U.R The University of Califor nia Cyclotron, where studies of the utilization of atomic power led to the awesome atomic bomb, will be used to open vast fields in the post-war treatment of di sease by means of artificial ra dioactivity. Dr. John H. Lawrence, physi cian brother of famed Physicist Dr. Ernest Orlando Lawrence, in a statement outlininng medical development In the field of nuc lear physics, said today contri butions to human welfare whicn will come from the research "have implications for the future which may be more important even than the atomic bomb. Bomb Not Goal When Dr. Ernest Orlando Law rence began his studies of the structure of matter that led to the Invention of the cyclotron and a Noble prize, he was think ing neither of production of bombs nor treatment of disease. Physicists under the leader ship of Dr. J. Robert Oppenheim cr turned their attention to the atomic bomb when war came and medical men too, were en gaged in wartime problems. But the Lawrence brother team already, had found the cy clotron to be a perfect instru ment for the production of arti ficial radio-activity. And Dr. John Lawrence now heads the newly creajed division of medi cal physics for the university, to engage in research leading to the conservation of life. To Attack Problems Medical and biological prob lems now may be attacked by teams of physicists and medical scientists. Dr. Lawrence said. Radioactivity has opened the study of human disease from a basic viewpoint the fundamen tal process of plant and animal life and the chemical processes of the human body. Specific diseases mentioned by the physician were cancer, leukemia and polycythemia vera, a rare disease of the blood. Ra dioactive chemicals are already an established treatment for the latter malady. Experimental neutrol therapy in the treatment of cancer will be extended, he said.

Aug. 15 U.R)- In the reconversion job scramble veterans were guaranteed prior ity of referral today but the ticklish question of job seniority went unanswered. The veterans placement ser vice board directed that wher ever there is an office of the United States employment ser vice there must be a division re sponsible for veterans' prefer ence. Rule Binding 'In filling orders for workers any qualified veteran shall be given priority over all non-veterans," the board said. "On all orders specifying veterans no non-veterans shnll be referred. Brig. Gen. Frank T. Mines, board chairman and retiring veterans administrator, said the order for veterans' preference was binding on all offices and may not be altered in the field. Other board members, created under the GI Bill of Rights, are Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, di rector of selective service; and Paul V. McNutt, war manpower commissioner. llines did not mention the problem of super-seniority, preferred status demanded by some veterans' organizations as a guarantee that where unem ployment exists it will not be veterans who go without Jobs. Seniority Unsettled Prospects that an official policy will be laid down on seniority were dwindling. Only selective service has touched the question formally and its edict has been questioned. Other phases of the board's order on veterans' preference by the U.S.E.S.: 1. When veterans are avail able for whom no order is on hand the veterans representative shall try to develop on opening in the industry in which the ap plicant is qualified. 2. Veterans needing employ ment counseling should be serv ed by a specially "trained coun selor who should be a veteran. 3. Special preferential ser vice shall be accorded a disabled veteran by all personnel and for all jobs for which they arc qualified. 4. The veterans representa tive shall serve any veterans having unusual problems and every veteran shall have the right to see the representative. This service may include advice on hospitalization, loans and other benefits. 5. Where the office has more than one station for reception of applicants, one or more shall be designated for veterans and shall preferably be attended by a vet eran. In a recent directive to local boards selective service said the right of a veteran to his old job was strong enough to displace any non-veteran, regardless of length of service of the non veterans. That set off a conflict over super-seniority. NATIVE DAUGHTER San Francisco, Aug. 15 (U.R) A plump red head danced naked atop the base of San Fran cisco's Native Sons' Monument early today after hysterical ser vicemen tore off her dress and underpinnings.

The Man You Seldom See Up In the locomotive cab of your train sits a man you seldom see. Perhaps you never catch a glimpse of him although he is responsible for taking you to your destination. -i Union Pacific, like other railroads, has certain exacting requirements for an engineer. The man who pilots a passenger or freight loco motive has served years as a fireman . . ; knows the function of a locomotive's many pads ... is thoroughly familiar with operat ing rules . . . has passed a rigid physical exam ination and been periodically re-examined. In short, he is well qualified, both mentally and physically, to handle his Job. Care in selecting and training employes has been a big factor in establishing the enviable Union Pacific record for safe and dependable transportation over the Strategic Middle Route, uniting the East with the mid-West and the Pacific Coast. Another "man you seldom see" is many miles away, doing his part to speed total victory. Let's bring him home and quickly.
