O SIX MEDFOJfU (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Knockout Drops Said Good For Childbirth By DELOS SMITH United Pres Science Editor New York tP An eminent obstetrician has repealed to his colleagues that he "rather likes the idea of natural childbirth" when it is "combined with knockout drops." Dr. Nicholson J. Eastman of Baltimore made it clear, how- q ever, that without "knock-out drops" he has no use for the technique called "natural child birth" which has nedical ad herents around the country. The "drops" are drops of the chemical chloral hydrate, which has little knockout potential un less joined with strong alcoholic drink. As an adjunct to "natural childbirth" it is joined with Jamaican rum. This combination originated with Dr. I. S. Parboosingh of Jamaica. Through their preg nancies, his patients prepared for childbirth with breathing exercises and psychological in doctrination, these being part of the "natural childbirth" tech nique. Drugs Deaden Pain But when the time came he gave them doses of chloral hy drate and rum calculated to deaden pain but at the same time keep them conscious. Thus, heQjroduced in all women that degree of "relaxation" which according to "natural child Half-Size Outfit 9078 14V4 2AV2 It's a Printed Pattern for time-saving, work-saving sew ing!

"Parboosingh has had a vast experience in obstetrics and, his mature judgment and care ful adjustments of dosage. I am sure that his patients expect the advanced state of 'relaxation' acquire by some water front sail ors from knockout drops and are greatly benefited by the jubilee cocktail," said Dr. East man in the technical journal, "Medical Digest." "The point I wish to make is that here is a seasoned obste trician who finds that a sort of modified knockout drop is the best way to produce the main desideratum of the Read tech- n i q u e, "Natural childbirth,", that is, relaaxtion. This is some thing that all obstetricians have known for years and have achieved it by means of various drugs. "They have not only realized the value of relaxation but also the transcendent value of elimi nation of fear, of reassurance, and of spiritual support in labor, These are the most important parts of the Read technique and all good doctors have been prac ticing them for years." Opposes Labor Without Drugs He objected to women being sold, during pregnancy, on "the exhilaration and fulfillment of womenhood engendered by la bor without drugs." When the time comes, some women give up on "natural childbirth" and accept pain-deadening drugs. In view of their psychological preparation this falling by the roadside causes psychological damage, Dr. Eastman said, and continued: "It would be much better, It seems to me, to remind all can didates for natural childbirth that the well-stocked bar on the delivery floor is' never closed, that jubilee cocktails as well as a hundred counterparts are 'on the house' and that, if the candi date desires, she can have one or two or even a half dozen without disgracing either her self or womanhood. In other words, I rather like this Jamai can idea of natural childbirth combined with knockout drops." Description Given On Neuclear Age Gettysburg, Pa. OP) Presi dent Eisenhower's committee on scientists " and engineers gave this Thumbnail description of the age in which we live: "We have now entered a new phase in the development of so ciety. In the scientific revolu tion, the nuclear age, or what ever it may eventually be called, man is no longer merely har nessing nature but is actually changing nature to serve his pur pose. The period of the indus trial revolution was primarily an adaptive age, the period of the scientific revolution is a truly creative age. It is an age in which the mere ly ingenious craftsman will have less opportunity to contribute to real progress for which we must henceforth rely on highly train ed and imaginative scientists and engineers. Moreover, the greater complexities with which the new developments of the atomic age will necessarily be fraught will increasingly re quire that qualified scientists and engineers hold positions that in the simpler electro-mechanical era were competently filled by less highly trained per sonnel. 0 Scientists and engineers will in the future be not only the navigators but more of the crew."

(International) Debra Paget In Love With Her Mystery Man By VERNON SCOTT United Press Hollywood Writer Hollywood (IU Voluptuous Debra Paget cleared up the mys tery of her lone wolf existence today, explaining she is deeply in love with a man with whom she cannot be seen. The pensive, green-eyed act ress is something of an oddity in tinsel town. She's a startling beautiful girl, but has fewer dates than a spavined-legged wallflower. She rarely makes a public ap pearance without her mother at her side. "I've only been interested in one man in all my life," Debra said unhappily. "That's why I seldom have a date. I can't even mention his name. "Once a girl has known a man like him she can't be inter ested in the so-called dashing young bachelors." Mother Agrees Debra's ever-present mother, oldtime vaudevillian queen Mar garet Gibson, nodded agree ment. "She's not a happy girl. But I hope some other man will come into her life and sweep Debra off her feet." Hollywood's rumor mill has the romantic mystery man pret ty well pegged. His name would be immediately familiar to the American public. "When I first signed a contract with 20th Century-Fox the stu dio would phone to tell me I had to go to a premiere with one or another young actor. I always turned them down. I've never had a date strictly for pub licity. "Actually," the red-haired ac tress added, "I prefer Mom's company when I go out. She's more fun than the Hollywood wolves. "Sure, I get kidded about go ing places with Mom. Sometimes people get nasty and call me the girl who never leaves the house without a chaperone. That's not the case at all. I just don't like to be alone.

In addition to being Debra's constant companion, Mama also masterminds her daughter's ca reer. ' Whenever Debra stars in a picture, Mama sits in a canvas chair a few feet from the camera. She helps select her daughter's wardrobe and hair styles. Next week, the mother and daughter head for Las Vegas, Nev., for a three-week nightclub stand. And Debra admits if the customers in the front row see a faraway look in her eye, she'll be mooning about the guy for whom she's carrying the biggest torch in Hollywood. PLAN MOSCOW VISIT Cairo (IP) The Egyptian cab inet Sunday night approved for mation of a 17-man delegation headed by Industry Minister Aziz Sidki to leave for Moscow in the next few days to discuss Russia's loan to this country.

Gen. James H. Doo little has moved into the thick of the nation's souped-up missile and scientific effort. The retired Air Force general is one of five prominent scien tists appointed to beef up Pres ident Eisenhower's revamped scientific advisory committee. They will work with new pres idential scientific assistant Dr. James R. Killian who was named to help guide the program for overcoming Russia in the space science race. In a move announced Friday at Gettysburg, Pa., where the President is recuperating at his farm from a mild stroke, Eisen hower also transferred the 17- member scientific committee from the Office of Defense Mo bilization to the White House. For Direct Relationship Press Secretary James C. Hag erty said the decision to increase the size and give the committee "a more direct relationship" with the President was made Nov. 22 three days before Eisenhower's cerebral attack. Doolittle, who led the first World War II raid in Tokyo, is now vice president of the Shell Oil Co. He also is prominent in aeronautical research and other scientific activities. The group was renamed "the President's Science Advisory Committee." Also named to the committee were: Dr. R. F. Bacher, professor of physics at California Institute of Technology; Dr. E. M. Purcell, professor of physics at Harvard university; Dr. Herbert York, di rector of the Livermore labora tories at the University of Cal ifornia, and Dr. George B. Kis- tiakewsky, professor of chemiS' try at Harvard university. Bids Advertised On Street Project Bids will be received by the state highway commission Dec. 5 in Portland for improvement of Eighth st. between Elm and Front sts., Medford, the highway commission has announced. Eighth st. will be used for east- bound traffic in conjunction with the Eighth-Main sts. one-way couplet. Main st. will be west bound. Plans call for construction of a roadbed which will provide a 44-foot paved street between curbs to carry two lanes of traf fic with parking on both sides of the street, the highway com mission said. The project is scheduled to be completed and ready for traffic by the fall of 1958. The Eighth-Main sts. couplet is part of Medford's 10-year ar terial street program, approved by voters last November. Rights-of-way for the Eighth st. im provement have been granted from library land and from the courthouse site by the county court. A new railroad crossing will be installed for the couplet. The U.S. labor force increased from 54 to 65 million persons from 1944 to 1955. 1 THIS C xu Breakfast Clubber Roots For Mid-West By WILLIAM EWALD United Press Correspondent New York (IP) Don McNeill is a performer who has roots in the Midwest. He also roots for it. For 24 years, McNeill has been almost as familiar a part of the American breakfast scene as burnt toast. He emcees radio's "Breakfast Club," a one-hour klatch that ABN beams out of Chicago, a city of much wind and whistle. "I'm a Windy City man from way back," said McNeill on a re cent visit to observe the natives in Manhattan. "I don't think there's any doubt that one of the big reasons for the success of 'Breakfast Club' is that we've kept it in Chicago. "I've had lots of offers over the years to move to TV and into New York, but I've resisted them all. I have a home and roots in Chicago, but it's some thing more than that Chicago gives the show its flavor, it helps us stay close to the heart of this country." McNeill, born in Galena, Til., and raised in Sheboygan, Wis., launched the "Breakfast Club" on June 23, 1933, more than six thousand breakfasts ago. The show, a mixture of music and chatter, has helped hatch such future stars as Johnny Desmond, Fibber McGee and Molly, The Merry Macs, Johnny Johnston, Betty Johnson, Alice Lon and Fran Allison.

KBOY McNeill also has featuffed just-plain-folks kinds of people on his show, a custom which adds juice to affairs, he feels. "Anybody coming out of an audience onto a stage adds un predictability to a show and interest," said McNeill. "Of course, it can be unnerving when you get an old fellow who slides into an off-color joke. Or when you get a kid on stage, as we did, who complains that he's al lergic to all your sponsors' pro ducts. "But it keeps things casual and relaxed what, in television, they used to call the Chicago school. You remember the old Dave Garroway show out of Chi cago not much budget, but a lot of imagination. "Generally, I guess you could say that's the opposite of the way Madison Ave. thinks. That is where everything must be a big production. You know the kind of approach where you can't present a singer on TV un less you have at least four danc ers moving around him." Abhors Giveaway Shows Many daytime showg give away gifts to membens of the audience, but it is a practice McNeil abhors. "We get an audience in to see our show, we know, because they want to see our show. Not be cause we're handing out fre waf fle irons or vacuum cleaners," he said. "Throughout our 24-year his tory we've resisted passing out anything. In a way it helps t&e show a good deal because when a housewife comes up on our stage, she can feel relaxed and conversational. She knows she s not competing for anything." Inevitably, admits McNeill, the word "cornball" has been used by some critics to describe his show. But frankly I con sider the word 'Corny a compli ment," said McNeill. "By corny I mean earthy American humor and if that's what the 'Break fast Club' is, I'm delighted."
