United Press Science Editor, en the fight against tuberculosis. Br DELOS SMITH ' New York (LTD Tubercu losis scientists aren't happy about the public's increasing disrespect for tubercle bacil lus. Reeardless of the wonder ful new drugs that have made it easier to cure tuberculosis, it cannot be forgotten that TB remains a communicable dis ease which can menace any one. The principal anti-TB drugs are streptomycin, isoniazid, and paraminosalicylic acid or PAS. They slaughter tubercle bacilli by the multitudes, but neither in the first onslaught or in many onslaughts can they kill all the bacilli in a tuberculous lung. Three to six months of daily drug taking are usually necessary before the patient's sputum contains no bacilli This means lung destruction has been arrested and the pa tient can be turned out of the hospital, since he can no long er transmit his disease to others. But he may well contain bacilli still. They are "sleep ing" but will awake and mul tiply. Then lung destruction resumes and he is a TB trans mitter again. That happens, of course, only if he stops taking a drug. He must not stop for a minimum of 18 months. Millions 'Positive' Another potential menace MAIL TODAY ... or phone for your copy 3SuI to public health is the fact that 35 to 50 million Ameri cans are "positive" to the tuberculin test which means their defensive chemistry once engaged tubercle bacilli successfully. They were at tacked but didn't succumb. iiut bacilli "sleep ' in many of them and many awaken and make them both tuber- c'u 1 o u s and TB-spreaders. Practically all the new cases come from "positive reac tors." Still another danger is that of the estimated 800,000 ac tive and inactive cases of tuberculosis in the United States one half unknown to public health authorities or private physicians. TB is conspicuously a wax ing and waning disease. An active case is one in which the disease is on the upswing: when it swings downward the case is inactive until it swings up again. To have some 400,000 of these unsupervised "un known'! carriers around spreading bacilli displeases public health authorities. On Way Out They and tuberculosis sci entists aon t want to panic anyone, and have no need to. It can be demonstrated mathe matically that tuberculosis is on its way out in the United States and Western Europe, and certainly the chances of any healthy person catching it are infinitesimal compared to what they used to be.

STREET CITY - Cub Scouls Cub Scout Pack 14 Cub Scout Pack 14 was in suspense for a few minutes Monday evening when Santa Claus arrived, but without his helpers who had the treats. Santa visited the boys and other guests at the meeting at Roosevelt school and com mented that his helpers, the Crater Lions, could not keep up with his sleigh and might be a little late. After singing many of the famous Christmas carols, Mike Morris, Santa's helper and the Crater Lions representative, saved the day by bringing treats for all of the Scouts.

Despite the relatively low es tate of TB today, the federal, state, and local governments, plus private organizations such as the Christmas seal supported tuberculosis socie ties, are spending approxi mately $775 million on it an nually. This money goes to treat new and old cases, to find the bacilli - spreading unknown cases, to seek new and more effective anti-TB drugs, and to explore the remaining mysteries concerning the dis ease and the bacilli. Tubercu losis scientists and public health authorities would like a knowledgeable public, rath er than an indifferent, com placent one, in order to wipe out the disease sooner than it could be otherwise.

STATE Eisenhower Faces 1959 Woth Greatest Executive Freedom Since Taking Job By MERRIMAN SMITH Washington -(DPI President Eisenhower faces 1959 with possibly the greatest , degree of executive freedom he has known since entering the White House. This is true despite the fact he will have to spend his last two years in office working with a heavily Democratic congress. For this reason, and be cause he is in the home stretch of nearly 50 years of government service, the con cluding years of the chief ex ecutive's term might well turn out to be the most in teresting period of his offi cial career. Eisenhower, according ' to his doctor, Maj. Gen. Howard McC. Snyder, was in better than average health for a man of 68 as 1958 drew to a close. Unless future illness-restricts his activities, the President is expected to play a more personal role in the conduct of his administration in the next two years. There are several reasons for this: -He did what he regarded as his best for the Republican party in the 1958 elections. Therefore, he has no reason to feel bowed down by any debt of gratitude to the GOP whereby he would be expect ed to apply the customary partisan yardstick to many domestic policies before him for consideration. Highly Conscious -He remains highly con scious of his place in history, -There has been a major reshuffle of the White House staff, beginning with the un to Malcolm Beyers, Den 3; Douglas Johannson, Den 1; and Don Stroh, Den 5. Each Den placed different types of Christmas tree orna ments on the seven-foot doug las fir at the end of the gym. The gayly colored ornaments and decorations were taken to the. Camp White Veterans hospital following the meet ing. - "Sparky", the fluffy yellow colored play lion previously presented by the Crater Lions club, was awarded to Den 9 for having the highest per centage of Cubs and parents at the meeting. , The next meeting is sched uled Jan. 12 In the Roosevelt gym from 7 to 8 p.m. State Employees Suggest Pay Boost Salem -UPD- Officials of the Oregon State Employees as sociation met with Gov.-elect Mark Hatfield Wednesday and suggested salary adjustments or increases for state workers totaling about $10 million above the present biennium. Jay Blair, Association presi dent, said some salary adjust ments were made by the 1957 Legislature but that other re visions were needed. A retirement plan for state employees also was discussed and Association officials said it might be a good idea to cre ate an interim committee to give thorough study to the re tirement, system. "Our retirement system is now confusing lo the state em ployees as well as the employ ers," Blair said. Some said there apparently are too many options in the system. Portland Police Hunt for Robber Portland -flJPD- Police hunt ed today for a man who held up the Hillsdale Branch of the Multnomah bank about' 1 p.m. Wednesday and escaped with $3400. The man threatened Mary Pitman, cashier, with a small automatic pistol. She said he asked for currency and re fused silver. The holdup man was de scribed .as dark, or tanned, with bushy eyebrows. He weighed about 155 pounds and was 35 or 40 years of age. He escaped in a 1957 Chevro let with a blue top, white sides and blue bottom trim, witnesses said.

Adams' de parture was marked almost immediately by Eisenhower's greater participation in mat ters which the former gover nor of New Hampshire would have considered a "bother" to the President. -The President is deeply concerned by the state of fed eral finances. Second only, to peace in the world, he would like to see government spend ing under more stringent con trol with resultant reductions in the Federal deficit and the public debt. He'll fight mem bers of his own party as well as Democrats on what he con siders excessive spending. -He will be less concerned about political criticism than possibly at any other time in the White House. Among oth er things, this seems to mean, golf three times a week, weather permitting, in or out of town. Political Trial The year 1958 was indeed a trial for the former five-star general, politically, interna tionally and personally. But he seems to have withstood the rigors of frustration, an noyance and even regret rath er well, judging from surface indications.

The tiny, lively" bubbles make highbaHs THE SENSIBLE.;; MODERATE DRINK for holiday enjoyment. j " problem of the year was the recession and he was forced to combat heavy spending remedies in and out of his own party; fend off efforts to reduce taxes and use his in fluence to keep the economy as close as possible to ah ev en keel. The policies of Eis enhower and his economic ad visers were rewarded late in the year as the country pulled out of the worst of the reces sion, although a disappointing level of unemployment per sisted. . During 1958, the interna tional scene was seldom quiet for more than few weeks at a time and even then, uneasily. The President felt it neces sary to send troops into Le banon for several months as part of a Western effort to re tard the sweep of Soviet in fluence through the. Middle East. Display of Aggression The mainland Chinese Com munists pelted Nationalist- held Quemoy and Matsu in a bewildering display of off-and-on aggression which served to strain sorely the American policy of defending Formosa against enemy at tack. . During the year, Eisenhow er resisted the mercurial de mands of Russia's Krushchev for a summit conference, but your holiday The 3 largest-selling highball mixers in all the world Pepsi-Cola these demands were certain to rise again in 1959 with the strong possibility of a big in ternational meeting some where in the world before the years' end. Personally, the President's most bitter interlude of 1958 was the deep friendship be tween his most trusted aide, Sherman Adams, and Ber nard Goldfine, the Boston in dustrialist who became deep ly embroiled with House in fluence investigators. Testi mony revealed that . Adams was a frequent recipient of Goldfine's hospitality and generosity, and was a friend ly helper to the Bostonian in his difficulties with Federal regulatory agencies. Then there was the elec tion. The President put his shoulder to the GOP wheel with unusual vigor, stump ing more than 7,000 miles in behalf of his . party. If he changed any election results, it was not immediately dis cernible in the .blizzard of Democratic votes that snow ed in the Republicans for an other two .years on Capitol Hill, giving the President's political opposition the strongest hand in Congress since the hey-day of the New Deal. Last Major Crusade This could well have been mey Bottling Company MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Ore., Eisenhowers' last major poli tical crusade, aside from a few speeches in behalf of the GOP presidential nominee in 1960. Current indications are that the President does not at this stage plan to intrude forcefully into the . selection of the Republican standard bearer in the next national convention. Physically, the President seems to have had a good year. His physical checkup in the late summer produced a doctors' announcement . that he was in better shape than most men his age. He contin ued to take frequent holidays and there was a hint that 1959 might see him combin ing business and pleasure at some point outside the con tinental limits.
