TOT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, October 0, 1937 Market Cul Feared By Yugoslav People Belgrade, Yugoslavia W In itial Yugoslav reaction to West Germany's severance of diplo matic relations was fear that Yugoslavia would be cut off from her best foreign market. Unofficial sources expressed concern that the break would close the West German market to Yugoslavia. Foreign markets are vital to this undeveloped country, and West Germany has been Yugoslavia's best customer. Informed sources said the gov ernment decided to recognize the East German regime on the grounds that existence of two German states is a reality and that reunification can be ach ieved only by the two states reaching agreement on their own. The sources said recognition of both Germanys was in accord SALES CAREER OPENINGS If you are looking for a permanent talet career, investigate this life time position.

The Medical Roundup fmentm Emeritus Consultant la Medicine, Mayo Clinic Emeritus Professor of Medicine. Mayo Foundation Or AJvarez Asiatic Influenza People are getting more and more alarmed about the Asiatic influenza. As yet, I cannot see any reason for great al arm because so far, in most of the out breaks, the d i s e a se has been mild. In some, it has been a bit more severe than it was in Asia. Experts are afraid only for rather frail elderly persons who, if they should get an influenzal pneumonia, might be a bad spot because the antibiotics do not influence the tinier viruses, such as that of the new influenza. Be cause of this, I'm suggesting that my elderly patients get at least one dose of the vaccine when it is available. First, come hospital and nursing-home peo ple: nurses, physicians, pharma cists and public health person nel, who must keep on duty if they can. Second, come preg nant women, and infants. Third, come patients who are weaken ed with disease of the heart or lungs, diabetes, etc. Fourth, are school teachers, firemen, police men, and men in transportation, communication, and public utili ties. Fifth, are persons over 50. Sixth, are the public at large. I am not insisting on having strong children and young and middle-aged persons vaccinated unless the influenza should get more severe. Creating New Life In the Middle Ages, any man who had been caught creating anything new would have promptly been burned at the stake. Why? Because creating was supposed to be a preroga tive of God alone. As I remem ber, one of the offenses that caused Galileo to be arrested 'and threatened with death was that, with his new telescope, he had seen the moons of Jupiter, and since their existence had not previously been known, in a way, he had created them, and this could not be tolerated by right thinking people. I wish the good people who once so wanted to burn Galileo at the stake could return today and stay long enough to see all the creating that is now going on. First they might be horrified, but soon they would grow used to it. Today, in every place where there is a cyclotron or an atomic pile, men are making all sorts of radioactive elements, the very existence of which was never known before. Several new heavy elements have been made, far out on the list beyond (Anderson Promoted io Firm's Vice-President Martin J. Anderson, represent ative of the U.S. Appraisal com pany in Medford, has been pro-1 moted to vice-president, and the Medford office has been ex panded to better serve the south ern Oregon and northern Cali fornia area, according to Alfred V. Perthou, company president. Anderson has been associated with U.S. ' Appraisal company since 1905, and has been repre sentative here since 1952. He is a graduate of the school of me chanical engineering at Oregon State college, and later studied appraisal at the University of Oregon. The Medford office is located at 406 Leverette building.

Pfer -1 5-TUBS g thought to be the last one Years ago man began to make hybrids, such as a mule or a hinny, or, more recently, man crossed a Brahman bull and a European cow. Later, man learn ed to produce any number of hybrid plants that would give a better yield, or would yield a quick crop in a far - northern country, or would be resistant to the attacks of certain parasites. In the last year or so remarkable creations have been reported from laboratories in which, by juggling the nucleic acids which now appear to act like the genes that determine what an embryo becomes a man or a dog or an insect, or a male or a female, or a theoretical physicist or an idiot men are making viruses and bacteria to order: They are creating new forms of life. I recently read that at Colum bia University, Stephen Zamen hof, Rosalie de Giovanni and Sheldon Greer, by shuffling nu cleic acids, have made new genes, and with them have cre ated new types of bacteria: some giants, some dwarfs, and some grotesquely misshapen. Some of these bacteria have become es tablished, and have now repro duced themselves through 180 generations. In Holland, some physiologists have created a new little beastie that has the body of a mouse, the blood of a rat and some of the skin of a rat. The experimenters changed mice by destroying with radiation their bone marrow which forms blood and then implanting the bone marrow of a rat. Some readers are probably saying, "How stupid. What good can come out of that?" Natural ly, scientists cannot foresee all that will come in the future, but already they can foresee the great advantages of being able to make at will a modified virus that can perhaps then be turned into a live vaccine to protect us or our children from some seri ous illness. To illustrate; before 1798 almost everyone in the world had to have smallpox, and a considerable percentage of the people died of it. Then, Dr. Wil liam Jenner found that when the virus went through a cow, it was changed so that it would give man a mild disease called cow pox, and yet would protect him from the original smallpox. With this discovery, one of the greatest scourges of man was promptly (almost) wiped off the globe. Now it looks as if it might be possible, with chemicals, to alter the virus that produces a disease, and quickly make from it a live vaccine, without having to hunt for years for some way of modifying the virus by pass ing it hundreds of times from one animal to another. Dr. Alvarez hopes his readers will understand that it would be impossible for him to answer re quests for information or to at tempt to diagnose by mail.
