Small Doses of DDT Given Dogs, Rats To Learn Harmful Effect By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York (U.R) If the burn ing question of what tiny amounts of DDT and related in secticides are doing to human beings can be answered by what tiny amounts do to dogs and rats, the answer is that they seem to do nothing in particular. There is no argument about what large amounts will do to human beings, rats, dogs, or any animal. Large amounts are quickly fatal. The argument in science is how large must the tiny amount be before the ac cumulation of many tiny amounts beings to harm people. Drs. Joseph F. Treon and Frank P. Cleveland of the Col lege of Medicine, University of Cincinnati, fed the extremely poisonous chlorinated hydrocar bons insecticides, of which DDT is one, to rats for two years. That is most of the life span of the rat. Each meal the rats had dur ing that time contained 25 parts per million of DDT or a relative. Dogs -More Sensitive In theory that's a poisonous level even for human beings if it is consumed day in and day out for a long time. But Treon and Cleveland reported in a Communists Reject American Protest Tokyo (U.R) The Commun ists have rejected an American protest of an attack on U.S. planes off North Korea last week, Radio Pyongyang report ed today. The broadcast by the official voice of the North Korean re gime labeled the protest a ""dis tortion of fact." It said the Red Chinese MIG15 jets did not start the air battle, but were attacked by American planes. Maj. Gen. Li Feng Cho, chief Communist delegate on the Korean military armistice com mission, sent the protest to the United Nations delegation Mon day, the broadcast said. The U. S. Air Force reported that two MIGs were shot down and two probably destroyed in the dogfight May 10 between eight F86 Sabrejets and from 12 to 16 MIGs over international waters. The Reds claimed one Sabre jet was destroyed and two others damaged in a battle started by the Americans when they in truded over Communist Chinese territory. Go To A Doctor? Geo. N. Taylor Sure, when you get sick, you go to a doctor, and he puts you on your feet. By that he does you good for this world. But when you sin, the d o c t o r's medicine can not set you r i'g h t "to i t h God. Only the sinless b 1 o od of Christ can do that. Line up all the people who hear Grid's of fer of eternal life and you have two kinds. ONE Such as will decide. Tell them that the sin less blood of Christ washed their page clean forever: At that thev accept Christ as their own Lord and Saviour and God writes their name in his Book of Life Others put off and put off and die lost. At Judgment they meet their sins and go on to eternal hell. You choose Christ's cleans ing blood? Then God gives you eternal life. Being saved, grow up. By daily Bible and Prayer, Grow Up. This Message spon sored by a Washington County Dairy man and family. adv. 1 technical journal of the Ameri can Chemical Society, that the lives of their rats were not short ened by this diet, that their growth rates were not affected, but the weights of their livers in relation to total body weights "were somewhat on the high side." The dogs were much more sensitive. The chlorinated hydro carbons in ratios of 10 to 50 parts per million "induced fatali ties after periods of feeding ranging from several days to several months, they said. When the poisonous parts per million were reduced to three or fewer, the dogs seemed unaf fected over prolonged periods ex cept that the insecticide, Diel dren, at 2.5 parts per million, seemed to reduce the number of pregnancies of any given female, but without reducing litter size. Humans Involved However, accumulative affects were indicated in the livers of both rats and dogs. In the rats there were degenerative changes in the cells which the scientists called "minor" and, from the cellular viewpoint, "non - spe cific. In the dogs, prolonged dosages of Dieldrin seemed to enlarge their Iive'rs but DDT and Lindane didn't. All this is of sharp personal interest to human beings because the chlorinated hydrocarbon in secticides are in such wide spread use that practically all of us are bound to get a whiff from time to time, if only in the form of residue on fruits and vege tables. The residues are tinier than tiny. They can't even approach one part per million. But chlori nated hydrocarbons do accumu late in body fats, especially the liver there isn't much scientific argument on that. But some med ical scientists maintain that the accumulations must eventually add up to impaired health, and even to premature death. Rhododendron Show Due at Fort Bragg Fort Bragg, Calif.

Religious Demands Concern Delegates Guatemala City, Guatemala (U.R) Delegates to the National Constituent assembly were con cerned today by the demand of the head of the Roman Catholic church in Guatemala that the catholic religion be granted priority in the new constitution. Archbishop Mariano Rosell protested in a letter to the as sembly that a proposed article in the Constitution providing for lay education was "discrimina tory" because 99 per cent of all Guatemalans are Roman Catho lics. I Some delegates said the let ter created a "very grave" prob lem because a majority of the people follow the dictates of the ! prelate. Siamese Girls Die; Autopsy Scheduled Detroit (U.R) An autopsy will be performed today to de termine the cause of death of Siamese twin girls less than 34 hours after their birth. The twins, joined by a six-inch strip of flesh from the upper part of the breast bone to the abdo men, were born to Mrs. Richard Herring, 27, by Caesarian section Sunday. They died while physicians! sought to determine how many organs they shared. Doctors said they were fairly certain the twins had separate stomachs but were unable to determine whether they shared the same heart, lungs and liver. Dr. Glen Hause, pediatrician in charge, said it was possible that their death resulted from lack of oxygen supplied by a shared set of lungs.
