They are the first human beings ever to receive the new anti-tuberculosis drugs, marsilid and rimifon. Once Hopeless Cases ' Only a few months ago, they were on the record books as "hopeless cases." Today, many of them are classified as "clini cally well." Throughout the men's and women's wards there is a friend ly rivalry. It's a debate over which patient actually was the first to take the new drugs. The doctors insist that there is no one individual who can claim that distinction. A group of five patients two women and three, men received the drug at about the same time last June 19. All Are Alive All of that first group are alive today. Some have become negative cases and have been given "passes" to" leave the hos pital for short periods of time. While a few may be discharged soon, they will continued under obseration for several years. - Two of that selected group of five are Mrs. Edith Helen John son and Mrs. Hilda Carrion. Each woman likes to be called by" her first name. So we'li d that. We sat beside Edith's bed. She looked the picture of health. She is 23 and came to the hospital in February, 1950. Then she weighed 98 pounds. Today, she weighs 174 and is thinking about going on a re ducing diet. Proud to Volunteer Edith said she was proud to have volunteered to be a "Hu man guinea pig." She said she had a sore arm for several days after receiving the first dose of marsilid. At that time, it wa4 given by injection. Now she takes six tablets each day. The doctors said she had large involvement in both her lungs. She may still have to undergo surgery, but the doctors say her downhill course definitely has BLUE LABEL...

America Mjust Take Price off Effort Reuther Declares Eugene (U.R) Walter Reu ther, president of United Auto Workers, said Thursday that America must take the price tag off peacetime effort and fight Communism "on an economic and social front." . In a panel discussion prepared for broadcast Thursday night, Reuther advocated moving into France and working on its hous ing program and "doing some thing about unemployment" in Italy. Must Make Total Effort "America must take the price tag off peacetime effort 5 and make a total effort," he said. ' It is possible to have both bread and freedom, but if people are desperate enough they will trade freedom for bread." .When asked by Dr. Eldon L. Johnson, dean of the University of. Oregon's College of Liberal Arts and graduate school, whether America could and should make certain overall ob jectives, but not political de cisions for these people, the auto union chief replied: f "We should outline broad pro jectives and then make the money available to work on those programs." stopped. She has negative sputum. Desperate Case , Her companion, Hilda, is a smaller woman. Only four feet nine inches tall, she weighed less than 100 pounds. Now she is 120. Hilda, 20, has a young son. She said she had been "in and out" of the hospital since she was two years old. She al ready has had surgery and she was one of the most desperate cases. The drugs reversed her downhill course. She, too, is negative and expects to be dis charged soon. In the 'months to come, the scientists expect to learn wheth er patients like Hilda and Edith will continue to lose their TB symptoms.

It surrounds most of the torso, like a vest, and allows freedom of movement. Mass production of the armor was started after Marines test ed, it on patrol in Korea last summer. The demonstration nailed for firing bullets from a .45 caliber Thompson machinegun into the armor. Such slugs dent but do not break its plates. : The Marine Corps emphasized, however, that the new armor is : not fully bullet-proof. The maximum claim was that it stops "such relatively-slow speed projectiles" as bullets from a .45 caliber 'pistol- or tommygun. Congressional Quiz Qneitions anrf Answers on What Goes on at the Capital. Furnished by Congressional Quarterly News Features. Q Would Sen. Harry Flood Byid't, D-Va.. proposed federal budget "make ends meet?" A No, although' it would come nearer than the President's plan. Under Sen. Byrd's $76.8 billion' budget, spending would exceed income by $5?8 billion in the 12 months starting next July; the deficit under the Presi dent's $85.4 billion budget would be $14.4 billion. In his "revis ion" of the President's budget, Byrd made the biggest slashes in domestic spending. Next deepest cuts came in foreign aid funds. "Reductions can be made in every category except interest," he said. Q Do voters choose the na tional convention delegates who pick the Presidential-nominees? A Only 16 states let voters choose most or all the nominat ing delegates, through Presiden tial primaries.' In the other 32 states, delegates are chosen in conventions or political com mittees. ' Q How many times has a Presidential election been de cided in the House of Repre sentatives? A Twice. In 1800, a tie be tween Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr was decided in the House, which chose Jefferson to be " President, Burr, Vice-President. In 1824, after a four-way race in which no one received a majority, the House named John Quincy Adams President, al though he had trailed Andrew 7-kson in electoral votes. Q How much good did the GI BiU of Rights really do? A A special House commit tee reported Feb. 9. that the broad . education, training and loan guarantee program for vete rans was a success, and most of the 7.5 million veterans partici pating benefited. But the report criticized the "minority" who acted in bad faith and "unscru pulous school operators and gov ernment officials" who caused a "needless waste of public funds." Few irregularities were found on the college level. Most were in trade schools and on-the-job training. Q Did the disagreement over charges of irregular dealings be tween the B & O Railroad and the RFC ever get ironed out? A No.. In 1947 Sen. Charles W. Tobey R-N.H., accused the Baltimore and Ohio "railroad of collusive and irregular dealings in connection with an $80 mil lion Reconstruction Finance Cor poration loan. A special RFC in vestigator last year began an eight-months probe of the charges and Feb. 13 reported they were "uterly groundless and grossly unfair." Later Feb. 13 Tobey countered with a statement that he stood by his original charges.
