paid tribute to the careers of
Patterson and Langlie and add
ed that he "felt certain" that
when the call came for them to
do more for their country that
they would be willing and ready.
The lareest crowd of Republi
cans ever to attend a fund-rais
ing dinner in Oregon applauded
when Smylie declared that " the
noliticians of the left forget that
it is not the Republican party
but the American people who
need President Eisenhower.
Gov. Langlie chided Oregon-
ians for what he called their
weaknesses in the last congres
sional campaign when the state
sent two Democrats to Congress.
'But let me assure you. he
said, "the rest of the country is
suffering with you.
Lanelie said there was a
strong, reasonable chance that
the federal budget would be bal
anced by the Eisenhower admin
istration next year and he as
serted Democratic candidates
would be reiected because the
party's "only political gimmick"
was free spending.
Unemployment Said Cut
Gov. Patterson challended trie
state GOP to go on the offen
sive, pointing to what he said
were the "real and actual gains t
in the American standard of liv
ing since Eisenhowers election.
He said the Republican adminis
tration had reduced unemploy
ment to its lowest rate, percent
agewise, ever achieved in times
of peace.
Presiding at the dinner in the
main ballroom of the Multnomah
Hotel was Elmo Smith, John
Day, president of the Oregon
Senate. He said the slogan lor
the GOP in Oregon during the
coming campaign would be 'No
re-Morse in '56."

Synthetic Hormone
Will Aid Arlhrilics
Summit, N. J. (U.R) New
hope for relief for arthritis suf
ferers may pour from labora
tory test tubes here, thanks to
the research efforts of scientists
in three nations.
For the first time in history,
scientists have succeeded in pro
ducing synthetically a hormone
that occurs in only tiny amounts
in animals.
The hormone is aldosterone, a
relative of cortisone. It is the
most potent of the hormones sec
reted by the two adrenal glands,
which lie astride the kidneys.
Until now, it has taken one
ton of adrenal glands removed
from animals to produce less
than one five-hundredths of an
ounce of aldosterone. That has
made it almost impossible phy
sically and economically to
produce the hormone in commer
cial quantities.
But Friday, in Zurich, Switzer
land. Dr. Albert Wettstein told
the 14th International Congress
of Pure and Applied Chemistry
that this powerful hormone had
at last been made artificially in
30 painstaking chemical steps.
The announcement was hailed
as a major victory in science's
fight against disease.

13th Annual Roundup
Of Sheriffs Posse
Slated on Week End
By J. HUGrT PRUETT
Astronomer, Extension Division
Oregon Higher Education System
Last week we discussed bine
moons in general and described
two such phenomena the writer
had witnessed. Today we give
accounts from some readers who
have sent in their observations:
"fhen I read Harold Bell
Wright's Winning of Barbara
Worth, I thought his description
of the blue moon was likely fic
tion. But later I saw the same
phenomenon in approximately
the same place and probably
under the same circumstances."
(From Spokane, Wash.)
"I have twice seen a blue
moon, in Venezuela in 1919 and
in British Columbia in 1939. In
both cases it was midsummer."
(From Wisconsin).
"Spvpral months aso in the
Aleutian Islands I observed a
blue moon on a clear night in
October. I wondered if it wasn't
from volcanic action." (From an
army private.)
"In 1928 some friends and I
sailed the yacht Red Riding
Hood from England to British
Honduras. When five days out
from Bridgeton, Barbados, we
saw a green moon. It was early
April." (From Hollyburn, B.C.)
Seen Oyer Lake
"I observed a blue moon about
1954. The moon was rising from
the Cascade Mountains in front
of which was a large mountain
lake." (From Monroe, wash.)
W. T. Lathrop. meteorologist,
ITS Weather Bureau, retired.
wrote as follows: "This occurred
in the early 30s when I was in
charge of the 'work in Yellow
stone National Park. My impres
sion is that when the blue effect
was first noticed, the moon was
about 45 degrees high . . . The
sky carried a strong suggestion
of blue, a pale, weird, steely
blue. I saw the blue moon for
about 45 minutes.
"If I were going to try to
rope it out now, I would run
over the possibilities of its hav
ing been a polarization effect.
I never did figure out any sat
isfactory explanation at the
time, nor since. There was some
discussion of this blue moon with
friends but just as little as I
could manage. The 'why' of the
unusual is always asked, entail
ing a response that in this case
I was unprepared to give. I never
did like to create a fog around
something I was expected to
know."
Cones Reverse Process
R. C. Stroud of Seattle of
fered this: "Psychology reveals
the after-image to be vhe com
plementary color of any color
which has strongly affected the
color perception of the eye. The
cones seem to leverse their pro
cess, and after staring at an or
ange sky for a while the eyes
seem to see a blue cloud if they
are turned on a white screen.
The redder the sky, the more
green would the after-image be
in complement. This accounts
for the chap whose moon was
more green than blue."

Mamie Praised for
Dresses at Geneva
New York U.R) Mrs.
Mamie Eisenhower has won the
praise of New York fashion ex
perts for wearing her everyday
Washington dresses during the
Geneva "Summit" conference.
A spokesman for the New
York Dress Institute, represent
ing some of the nation's most ex
pensive dressmakers, said the
First Ladv Rave a "sermon m
common sense and economy" by
refusing to buy a new wardrobe
for the trip.
"Most of us, with the pros
pect of a trip ahead, rush out j
madly and buy a new wardrobe, j
or at least a new outfit," the j
spokesman said, "but not our j
Mamie." !
Judging from the dresses in j
which Mrs. Eisenhower has been j
photographed at Geneva, she is j
happily wearing all the dresses :
she ordered last spring, the In-1
stitute reported.
