Army Major Back
From Formosa Tells
Of Nationalists
Chinese Nationalist soldiers on
Formosa, although slight and
small, are dependable, strong
and work hard, Maj. 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

his views on the problems he will
have to face in the months ahead.

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.

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

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.
