Washington (U.B President

United States has no word yet
whether Red China will follow
up release of four American air
men by giving freedom to 53,
other Americans the Red regime
holds.
However, he told his news
conference that Red China is
representing its release of the
four fliers as a move to relieve
international tensions.
Meantime, joyous members of
the families of the four free
airmen made preparations to fly

A big Air Force plane will

Lack of Tooth Decay
Studied by Scientists
Columbus, O. (U.R) Ohio
State University scientists are
trying to learn why one person
in 100 is never bothered by tooth
decay.
A three-year study shows that
this lucky exception apparently
is resistant to decay regardless
of age. sex. race, dietary habits,
or how often he brushes his
teeth.
Dr. Gordon E. Green, chief in
vestigator of the study, said the
researchers want to know why
some persons are "immune"' to
the bacterial disease as dental
caries. It is a disease caused by
bacteria found in almost every
one's mouth.
The researchers compared the
bacteria from mouths of caries
free persons and from those who
have tooth decay. The most
striking difference in bacterial
content was in the number of
iifctobacilli. This is the acid-producing
substance believed to
play a major role in tooth de
cay. The scientists said the study is
not complete. The evidence in
dicates there is a substance or
mechanism in the mouths of
caries-frce persons capable of
"managing" the lactobacilli, and
possibly other acid-producing
germs, in such a way that tooth
decay comes slowly if at all.
