Medford Students

Ten Medford students partici
pated Feb. 24 through 26 in an
International Relations league
conference held at the Univer
sity of Oregon Campus. Thirty
seven Oregon high schools were
represented.
From Medford were Deanna
Campbell, Sue DeVoe, Meredith

Keown, Marilyn Olsen, Kaye
Christian, Ed Manley, Don Rob
inson, and John Van Dyke. They
were accompanied by their ad
visor, Mrs. Jo Anne Smith.
U.N. Theme of Meeting
Theme of the meeting was
"The UN Problems and Pros
pects." Eighteen roundtable discus
sions were conducted. Don Rob
inson led the discussion group
concerning technical assistance.
John Van Dyke was secretary
for the group on membership
of the UN.
The students and advisor
made the trip by a chartered
Greyhound bus which also car
ried IRL representatives from
Jacksonville, Crater and Grants
Pass high schools.
A full report of the meeting
will be made by the Medford
students over local radio sta
tions and KBES-TV.
Panel of Experts
The panel of experts there for
the sessions included the Rev.
Wesley Nicholsen, a Eugene
minister; Dr. E. S. Wengert, head
of the University of Oregon po
litical science department. Dr.
Surindar Suri, Indian scholar,
who will appear here this eve

association, and who spoke for
Medford Rotary club members
today; and Dr. Ruth Widmayer,
executive secretary of IRL. Dr.
Widmayer was the moderator.
establish a world monopoly on
the new "miracle drug,"reser
pine. Its sole source of supply was
supposed to be from the roots
of the plant, Rauwolfia serpen
tina, which was believed to
grow only in India, and thus
India seemed to hold all the
cards.
Embargo on Roots
Six months ago it clamped an
embargo on the export of rau

meant that when stockpiles were
Ward Stockholders
To Hear Wolfson
Los Angeles (U.R) The run
ning proxy battle for control of
Montgomery Ward has arrived
in Los Angeles.
Louis Wolfson, 43, Wall
Street financial wizard attempt
ing to wrest control of the multi-
million dollar mail order house,
speaks today and tomorrow be
fore some of the 1100 Mntgom
ery Ward stockholders in South
ern California in an effort to
win their proxy votes.
Wolfson opened his campaign
Friday in his hometown of Jack
sonville, Fla. He said at a press
conference here yesterday he
will visit 20 or 30 cities during
the next six weeks to speak be
fore stockholders.
The opposition forces, headed

exhausted reserpine could only
be extracted from the roots in
India.
But an American pharmaceu
tical house now is extracting
reserpine on a commercial scale
from rauwolfia heterophylla
which is a kind of botanical first
cousin of the Indian plant and
grows abundantly in Central
America, from Mexico south
ward. Furthermore, chemists now
are close enough to understand
ing the chemical make-up of
rauwolfia that it shouldn't be
long before they are making
it themselves in laboratories, the
United Press learned.
Feat Duplicated
Reserpine was isolated from
the Central American rauwolfia
first in Brazil. Dr. Francis A.
Hochstein and his associates in
the Charles Pfizer research lab
oratories duplicted that feat and
put it on a commercial basis;
they also found that rauwolfia
heterophylla contains six other
basic chemical compounds which
are in rauwolfia serpentina plus
a brand new one.
What these other rauwolfia
compounds do to and for the
human body is not known pre
cisely, but since reserpine has
such dramatic effects, which are
not fully understood, the possi
bility is plain that the related
compounds are laden with poten
cies, too.
In Widespread Use
Reserpine is a calmer-downer,
a "tranquillizer." It has come
into widespread use by physi
cians for some varieties of high
blood pressure, and it is excit
ing the world of psychiatry by
its calming effects on some kinds
of mental patients.
