Scientist Would Lock Up Sick Americans By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York (U.R) To achieve an ultimate good, a noted scient ist is advocating "locking up" a certain number of sick Amer icans. The ultimate good is making tuberculosis an extinct disease. The sick persons are those who know they have TB but won't submit to treatment and won't take themselves out" of circula tion. "Personal liberty is a precious heritage, but liberty should be denied those who knowingly expose others," said Dr. H.Cor win Hinshaw, clinical professor of medicine, Standford Univer sity School of Medicine. Would Have Curled Hair He was answering the ques tion, "Can we wipe out TB?" His answer was, yes, if . . . Such an answer to such a question, if he had been given 10 years ago, would have curled the hair of anyone who knew anything about TB. His principal "if" was prevent ing well people from getting the disease. That involves "case finding" finding the people who have TB but don't know it. It also- involves dealing with the people who know they have Gasoline Dealers Jo Meet Here Kecently elected officers of the" Oregon Gasoline Dealers as ociatiori will meet here Wednes day afternoon to consider mov ing the state office from Salem to Medford temporarily. The move is being considered because most officers and direct ors elected recently are from southern Oregon. Steve Harriman, Dillard, was elected president, Paul Coleman, Klamath Falls, vice president, and Victor Milnes, Medford, secretary-treasurer. Directors are Ben Hallyburton of Portland, RajPBorger of Eugene and Pete Whitney of -Eugene. s PADLOCKED CARS Kimball, Neb. (U.R) The city council recently authorized a plan whereby the automobiles of persons who refuse to pay parking fines will be shackled to the curb. Police hold the keys to padlocks on the chains and violators have to pay S2 to have their cars released , in addition to the fine for overparking. TB but won't do anything about it. Both kinds spread TB among well people. Dr. Hinshaw, who is a noted authority on TB and a former president of the American Tru deau Society, was himself great ly impressed by what has hap pened to TB in the last five to ten years. Formerly it was . "es sentially uncurable"; in most cases the future was bleak if not hopeless. Treatable Disease "Tuberculosis is now, as never before, a treatable disease a curable disease," he said. "Mod ern treatment can relieve tuber culosis symptoms, promptly, bring the disease to arrest, and can usually prevent or at least minimize the risk of recur rence. This has not been sub jected to the full test of time but is based on a firm founda tion of fact." Navy Releases Balloons in Japan ' Tokyo (U.R) The United States Navy released the first of 20 huge weather balloons in Ja pan this morning, aiming them toward this country on the same path that Japanese incendiary balloons traveled during World War Two. Today's balloons were direct ed to the level of the jet stream, which is expected to waft them all the way to our east coast within a week. When they lose their own floating power, para chutes will open automatically and gently lower, the balloons to the ground. On their trip, the balloons will pick up valuable weather information by means of radio transmitters. All this informa tion will be passed along to weather organizations through out the world. And it should pro vide some new data on upper atmospheric conditions. The Japanese had some suc cess with their balloon project during the -war. They used the jet stream to send balloons into our Pacific northwest to touch off forest fires. Of course the Navy's project is strictly a peaceful one. But some people are likely to find it suspicious. As Lt. Com. M. Lewis of the 1 Bureau of Aeronautics said "I expect there will be reports of flying saucers over the United States in a few days." TRAVELER-HUNTER TO PREMIERE JUNGLE FILM .John Newman, noted Spokane, Washington traveler and lectur er on world missions is pictured with the 500 pound Royal Bengal Tiger he bagged recently in the Indo-China jungles. He will dis play the eleven foot trophy in Cen- -tral Point at the area Premiere of his new CinemaScope film, "Trail's End." The motion picture was photographed in "the won derland of Asia" by Vision, Inc., of which he is vice-president. New man has engaged in overseas mis sions on five continents. The film story traces the activ ities of the pioneer-spirited missionary who one day finds himself sum moned to a village to kill off marauding tigers terrorizing the natives and the next day traveling by elephant back, sampan or afoot into for bidding jungles where aboriginal blood-hunters conceal poison-tiDped lances along the trails in search of human blood for their religious sacrifices. The dramatic-documentary introduces tribal peoples who lead a tight rope existence in an interior mountainous domain over-'un with leopards, tigers and other predatory wild life. As the brilliant jungle scenery takes hold of the imagination, height ened by authentic, synchronous sound, one begins to lose himself with the little band of Christian missionaries as they probe deeper and deeper into the jungle. At its recent World Premiere the film played before 5000 persons in the Spokane Coliseum. There is no admission charge. A free-will offering will be received. . WEDNESDAY NIGHT, 7:30 P.M.
