Some Drugs Can Decrease Ability To Drive Safely, Authority Says By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Edilor New York W Pills as well as alcohol can make unsafe auto mobile drivers out of otherwise reliable ones, an a u t h ority on drugs said in urging doc tors to warn their patients when neces sary "against driving while under medica tion." Dr. W. J. R. of pharmac- Deloi Smith Camp, professor ology, University of school of medicine, put bar biturates at the head of the list of drugs which can decrease the ability to drive safety. Barbitur ates are commonly prescribed as sleeping pills. This drug has "an action close-1- paralleling that of alcohol pure depression of the central nervous system, and often leav ing a hangover," he said.

Analysts Point to Benefits of Buying Nonglamor Stocks Elmer W sixer Br ELMER C. WALZER United Press Financial Editor New York (I With the stock market in what Wall Street de scribes as a rest area, the anal ysts are point ing to the benefit to be derived from buying the non-glamor is- mane in uie financial dis trict that the general public likes to buy stocks when prices are rising. A steady stock with a good yield doesn't have the appeal of one that is in an upswing to the tune of some special development of future prospect. According to L. O. Hooper, anlayst for W. E. Hutton, there has seldom been a time when one could find so many good values in nonglamor stocks and so few apparent good values in the glamor issues. High Stocks "Unfortunately," he observes, "investors at the moment are more interested in buying stocks of the type that are high than in buying equities of the type that are not high." Hooper has prepared a list of some not too popular income type issues which are regarded as "good values without that sex appeal which now seems the sine qua non of popularity." The tendency of the public to buy stocks when prices are high was one of the characteristics of the boom that ended in 1929. Back there pools operated with abandon and the public fooled the experts many a time. Pool managers would set a goal for their stock at a level several points above the market and then go to work to boost the price. The public bought with such vigor that even when the pool abandoned the stock it kept right Morse Refuses To Help Crosby Portland HP Sen. Wayne Morse (D.-Ore.) Monday turned down a plea from Oregon Team ster leader Clyde C. Crosby that the senator intervene on Cros by's behalf with Oregon state law enforcement officials, the Oregonian reported from Wash ington, D.C., today. Crosby, recently acquitted of a conspiracy charge, had written Morse and complained of be ing "persecuted" by Robert Y. Thornton, Oregon attorney gen eral. The newspaper quoted Morse in a letter to the Teamster offi cial as saying it would be "im proper for me. or anyone else, to reek to have the charges (against Crosby) dropped by attempting to bring pressure of any kind upon the attorney general of the state, or the prosecutor's office or the governor's office." Crosby still faces several in dictments evolving from recent Multnomah county investigations. on going up. Sometimes the pools got into action again, accumulat ed the same stock and ran it up further with the help of the little fellows who then could buy on a shoestring Market Different Today's market is entirely dif ferent from the one in 1929 with the exception of the yearning of the average trader to chase stocks to higher levels, the ex perts point out. There are no pools operating today and it's mighty difficult to jiggle stocks without being caught. And, of course, the shoestring operator is out of the running since the current federal reserve rule calls for a margin of 70 per cent of the cost of the stock. To buy $100 worth of stock on' margin, one must put up $70 at least. That's seen as one of the rea sons there are no shakeouts in the market like those of old. The experts see the present market in a heavy supply area and say a rest at this point is welcome to permit consolidation before another attempt to pierce the 16-month record high in the industrials. Portlander Killed In Auto Collision Salem (IP! A man was killed and a woman and her daughter were injured in a headon auto crash about two miles west of here Monday. Dead is Theodore Frederick Sanders, about 42, Portland. At Salem General hospital with "serious" head injuries was Eliz abeth Spencer Rademaker, 43, Salem. Her daughter Janice, 14, suffered a broken arm and also was hospitalized. ' State police said Sanders lost control of his car on a curve on the Salem-Dallas highway about 2:40 p.m. He managed to get his car back on the road, but ran head-on into the Rademaker ve hicle. Mrs. Rademaker, an employee of MacLaren School for Boys at Woodburn, was driving an Ore gon state car. Sanders was alone, police said, driving toward Sa lem when the crash occurred. Illinois There may even be signs and symptoms of inebriation, de pending on dosage, but without the aroma of alcohol and of course with a negative breath- alcohol test." Breed Obituaries Should a person who has had barbiturates, take a drink "the effect of the two substances is at least additive" he continued and it may be that one will greatly multiply the effect of the other. For his money, he said, "bar biturates breed too many obituaries." Anti-histimines, commonly pre scribed for allergic conditions. also depress and add to "a fa tigued and perhaps disconsolate state resulting from the alergy Pharmacological science has rec ognized this by adding mild stimulants to anti-histimines. But "use of stimulating drugs is also of concern, since over dosages of amphetamine and similar substances are apt to affect a highly reactive state in which mental processes and re flexes may be grossly disturb ed," he continued in the tech nical journal, Post-Graduate Medicine. "One might also question the wisdom of a person driving while he is taking so-called tran- quilizing agents, which are not without side actions and are known to produce a 'don't give a damn' attitude." Other Dangerous Drugs His point was that "while alcohol is a serious problem' in . this useless slaughter re sulting from automobile accid dents' "we should not forget other drugs." In some ways he said, alcohol is not the most dangerous drug potentially in the driver because "the effects of over indulgence are usually obvious," which is not so of the other drugs. "Many persons, of their own volition, or on advice of a phy sician, are taking drugs which have a definite effect on the central nervous system," he said "We need not stress that users of marihuana, morphone, heroin or cocaine have no business driv ing a car but insufficient thought has been given to the effect of more commonly used drugs. He didn't think that all the efforts to educate the public on the dangers of mixing drinking and driving, were getting .very far, since the "use of alcoholic drinks is so common." The pub lic seems indifferent, and "drink ers continue to drive, and drivers to drink, and with an indiffer ence that endangers themselves and others.'

Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport 1 (Editor's note: The followinr arti- rle is written by Alan Freed, rock n' roll disk jockey and emcee of ABC-IV "The Bit Beat.") Br ALAN FREED Written ior United Press New York lfl When peo ple ask me what rock 'n' roll is doing to the younger generation I always say, "It's making them happy!" It's making me happy, too. Because I know that their music and make no mistake about it, the kids discovered rock 'n' roll and it belongs to them is giving them a powerful in terest that is working against juvenile delinquency. Interested in Youngsters Sure, I'm making my living in rock 'n' roll music. But my wife and I have two boys and two girls and naturally, we're in terested as any parents in the welfare of youngsters. Unfortunately, many parents don't understand the importance of rock 'n' roll to their teen-age offspring. The kids feel that it's new, it's theirs and something they understand and enjoy. A healthy, wholesome way to get rid of excess energy. The kids are just as much a part of it as the performers. You'll see what I mean when you tune in "The Big Beat" on ABC-TV. Rock 'n' roll audiences, loving the music, are really part of the show. In looking back to my own teen-age years, I recall how en thralled I was with swing, with FUTURE? It's tip to yon! You want your children to have t good start to wards success whether you lire or die. And it can be arranged! L Call me today and let me tell you how. i SUN LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY OF CANADA 3 Charles E. Jones Local Agent PHONE SP 2-9772 Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller and Harry James. Maybe today's teen-agers are more enthusiastic about their music. Maybe it seems that way because I'm old er now. But obviously, every generation has its own music. I sincerely believe that no music is immoral. When a young ster starts out listening to music, any sort of music, he is in ef fect whetting his appetite for culture, leading him, as some surveys indicate, to an interest in opera and the classics. W'hat will happen when to day's teen-agers become the old er generation? Probably history will repeat itself and there'll be a new mu sic form to replace rock 'n' roll, just as swing was replaced. But rock 'n' roll, has become so strong I doubt if it'll ever completely pass away. Like the classic swing tunes, the best of rock 'n' roll will become part of our musical heritage. And the kids will be respon sible for it. Meeting Set for Tonight EAST EVANS CREEK-MEADOWS By NELLIE BERGMAN East Evans Creek-Meadows A 4-H meeting was held at the McAllister home Monday night.
