Forrest D. Taft informed Medford Kiwanis club members yesterday. Major Taft, unit advisor for the 1st Battalian, 186th Infantry regiment, Oregon National Guard, recently returned to the United States after two years in Formosa under the Military Aid Planning act. Shows Slides The Army man showed colored slides including military and agricultural scenes, narrating and answering questions con cerning them. He spoke of the Chinese Nationalists' desire to invade and gain back the main land of China. That is where - their homes, families and ances tors are. the major said. He pointed out that to the Chinese '"ancestors mean more than any thing." "Things are 'hot' over there," Taft said. However, he mention ed that things don't seem so bad when one is right on the For mosan scene and persons there get more concerned after read ing clippings from papers in this country. More Divisions The Army officer could reveal little concerning Nationalist mili tary strength. However, he did say that the Nationalists do have more divisions at this time than does the United States. There are 120 to 180 men in a Chinese company. Major Taft reported, Taft stressed the agricultural value of Formosa to Communist China. He said the island pro duces three rice crops per year and has enough production to be able to export two of the crops. The people are well fed, he re ported. Kiwanians and families will picnic at Table Rock Estates' next Wednesday evening. The picnic will replace the regular noon luncheon meeting. However, a roundtable luncheon will be held that noort at the Country club. Health, Education Secretary To Tackle Job With Moderation Editor's note: In the following ex. elusive interview. President Eisen hower's new Secretary of Health. Edu cation and Welfare outlines some of his views on the problems he will have to face in the months ahead. Dead line Sunday Classified is at noon Saturday; 10. a.m. Monday for Monday: other days 5:30 previous day. By MAUREEN GOTHLIN United Press Correspondent Washington (UP.) Marion B Folsom, President Eisenhower's new Secretary of Health, Educa tion and Welfare, made plain to day that he will handle his po litically explosive job with his customary caution and modera tion. In an interview with the Unit ed Press, Folsom said he has no plans of making any major chanaes in the department he will take over Aug. 1 when Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby's resignation takes effect. Folsom brings to his new job a wide range of talents from whathe calls a "very limited" experience in education to an intimate knowledge of social se curity. He helped establish and develop the Social Security Sys tem. . Main Work on Taxation He also has an intimate know ledge of financial matters. In his present post, Undersecretary of the Treasury, his main work has been on taxation. Folsom admitted he is about to take up some "tough and lively" subjects. For instance, he said, there is the controversial issue of Federal aid to states for edu cation. , Another problem which he in dicates will become livelier is the expansion of private health in surance plans to cover more peo ple and more of their medical costs. Folsom's new job in these fields has been made tougher by the fact that both the Administra tions school construction bill and its bill to encourage expansion of private health insurance plans appear to be dead in this session of Congress. On the still-lively subject of the Salk-polio vaccine distribu tion, the 61-year-old, soft-spoken Southerner refused to comment. But he indicated some puzzle ment that an agency as old as the public health service had run into "difficulties" on the matter. 44,000 Employees He will have under him 44,000 employees in a department that operates on a budget of about S2, 000,000, 000 a year, of which more than 90 per cent goes into grants to states for various pub lic assistance programs such as public health and school con struction in federally-affected areas. Folsom is a staunch advocate of the social security system, not only as a necessary institution for the government to administer but also as an economic safe guard. After he helped put a pension plan into effect at Eastman Kodak Co., Rochester, N.Y., in 1928, Folsom said, he believed that industry pension plans would provide necessary protec tion for the aged. But in the depression of the 1930's, he said, he "realized" that the govern ment would have to step in and do the job in order to get suf ficient coverage. Veterinarian Enrollments Up From Previous Year Chicago (U.R) Nearly 3,900 students are now enrolled in 19 veterinary colleges in the United States and Canada, according to a survey by the American Vet erinary Medical Association. The current freshman class is the largest since World War I, the association said. It totals 1,026 students, selected from 2,614 who sought to enroll. This year's freshman class in cluded 253 with bachelor de grees, compared with 25 a year ago. Airplane Given Ticket For Speeding on Highway Lebanon, Va. !U.R) State Trooper D. E. Adams stopped an airplane near here and handed its "driver" a ticket for speeding. Adams was doing routine cruising when the fast-moving airplane, towed by a truck, passed him. Investigation dis closed the wrecked plane was ebing taken to an airport for salvage and rebuilding. 1 SPECIALS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, JULY 29-30 Moorpark Local These Are EXTRA LARGE the Quality is Superior.

(International) Eisenhower Given Cultivator From Boys State Chief Washington (U.R) Presi dent Eisenhower met President Hopper today. What's more, Mr. Eisenhower received a cultivator from his counterpart. The other chief executive is 17-year-old Douglas Joseph Hop per, president of the American Legion's 1955 Boys' Nation. Douglas presented the motor ized cultivator for Mr. Eisen hower's vegetable garden on his Gettysburg, Pa., farm as he and 93 others in the Boy's Na tion group called at the White House. Presented Lapel Pin Douglas, from Glendale, Cal., also presented President Eisen hower with a Boys' National la pel pin. After Douglas met his real life counterpart, junior senators in the Boy's Nation adjourned to Capitol Hill to conduct their own Senate session and meet some real-life senators. Tonight, after tours of the Smithsonian Institution and the National Museum, President Hopper, his vice-president, Ken neth Jennison, Carthage, Mo., and his secretary of defense, Ken neth Evans, Pampano Beach, Fla., will review a retreat parade of 3,000 2nd Army soldiers at Ft. Meade, Md. 11-Gun Salute The "presidential" party will be welcomed to the base after a helicopter ride down with Sen.

Each of the three Boys' Nation officials will be made "honorary troopers" in the 3rd Cavalry Regiment's honorary society, "The Order of Brave Rifles." Only a dozen such honors have been extended in the regiment's 110-year history. Klamath Falls Air Base Building Fund Restored Washington (U.R) The Senate has restored military con struction funds for three Oregon projects, at Astoria, Klamath Falls and Portland, and return ed the bill to the House where concurrence is expected.

The funds include' $2,042,000 for the air base at Klamath Falls, $1,806,000 for Air Force construction at Portland inter national airport and $93,000 for construction at the Tongue Point Navy base at Astoria. 1 fee ASK U A BOOT A & PF VACATION LOAN am See your vacation-mioded PF aanacer nam... let him help yea take your oca 's tton by supplymf the money yon need. tk PF meant noney... vacation money, tool Muss or PACine nwnct PACIFIC INDUSTRIAL 'A m m m 9 Chlorophyll Expected So Bring New Miracle of Healing Powers By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York (U.R) Science will yet draw real, healing miracles from chlorophyll miracles com parable to those of the sulfa drugs and the antibiotics ac cording to a medical scholar. He said he was speaking up now because the public is no longer chlorophyll-happy. His implication was that previously he was afraid he might be quoted by some enterprizing manufac turer of, say, green inner soles. Dr. Lawrence W. Smith, after long study of al lthat science knows about the substance which makes plants green, was struck by the ability of even crude prep arations to interfere with the life processes of bacteria. General Motors Shatters Records New York (U.R) General Motors Corporation shattered ev ery sales, production and profit record in .existence during the first six months of 1955 and ex pects the full year to be the best in history. The world's largest manufac turing concern announced Wed nesday that sales soared to $6, 512,672,139 for the six-month period which will mean a gross income of more than $13,000, 000,000 for the yeafif it main tains the same startling pace. GM President Harlow H. Cur tice and Board Chairman Alfred P. Sloan Jr., announced jubilant ly that the American public was in a "buying mood." The auto industry has shown "the greatest vigor and vitality in its 50-year history," they said. "It has played a key role on push ing economic activity in the Un ited States to a new all time high." Americans and Canadians purchased 2,437,335 cars and trucks from the giant automo biles manufacturer during the six month period ending June 30. Sales for the same period ending June 30. Sales for the same period of 1954 amounted to 1,850,577 units. The tremendous sales boost ed net income of General Mo tors to $660,961,942, equal to $7.23 per share of common stock. During a similar six-month per iod of 1954 net income was $425, 250,383, or $4.79 per share. Bacteria causes manv diseases They also contaminate burns and other wounds. Bacteria learn in time to live with antibiotics and sulfa drugs and even flourish. All present scientific indications are that bacteria cant' learn to live with chlorophyll. Let Biochemists Get Busy So let the biochemists get busy and construct chlorophyll com pounds which wil lexploit this power to the fullest, Dr. Smith said in the New York state Jour nal of Medicine. The future miracles are in herent in the chlorophyll mole cule. Its core is chemically identical with the precursor of the red coloring matter of blood and other body pigments "in volved in the oxidation-reduction phenomena without which life in any form is impossible." As in hemoglobin of the blood, the centrally bound atom of the molecule is a metal. In hemo globin it is iron in chyorophyll it is magnesium. Scientists have substituted only metal atom's for magnesium. Copper chlorophyll now is the common form. In further reconstructions of the chlorophyll molecule Smith saw infinite possibilities. New "laboratory evidence," he said, "indicates certain points of similarity between at least one major antibiotic, streptomycin, and specific chlorophyll deriva tives, suggesting a vast future research program with the de velopment of selective anti-bacterial agents using chlorophyll as the starting 'materia prima.' " Chlorophyll is an efficient pro moter of wound-healing because it stimulates the growth of new Mechanics on Strike At Douglas McKay Plant Salem (U.R) AFL Machin ists have struck the Douglas McKay Chevrolet Co. here and pickets were posted around the building in a dispute over a un ion shop provision and pay scales. Wayne E. Hadley, president of the company and son-in-law of Secretary of Interior Douglas McKay, said operations were continuing with those workers who remained on the job. About 40 men walked out. The company, Hadley saidThas has offered a percentage pay plan. The machinists' union asks $2.20 cents an hour, the prevail ing scale in Portland auto out lets. Present rate is $2. tissue, he said. Science can't yet explain fully why it is; neverthe less it is and that, to him, .was much more important than the "how" of it. It also is an effective deodor ant of suppurating wounds be cause it interferes with the pro cesses of bacteria which give rise to odor. As for its effectiveness as a "contact" deodorant, he had some courteous scientific sneers. The recent public "hysteria" in this regard is over now, and, in his view, it is high time.
