1 C MAIL TRIBUNE, Meffor! Or. 10 Wednesday, May 20. 1959 Anti-Vomiting Drug Eliminates Side Effects New York, (Science Serv Ice)-A drug that can prevent and control nausea and vomit ing safely without causing sleepiness and other undesir able side effects has e e n developed. The new drug, called Tigan, has been found to successfully prevent and suppress vomit ing and nausea in pregnancy, motion sickness due to land, air or sea travel, radiation therapy in cancer, drug induced vomiting, upset stomach and other disease states, as well as in post-opera tive conditions, scientists re ported at a clinical symposium here. Not Tranquilizer ' The new compound is un related to other antiemetics now on drug shelves. It is not an antihistamine or a deriva tive of phenothiazine, drugs that achieve their effects by tranquilizing and sedation. This new crug travels to the portion of the brain through which impulses are carried to the vomiting center. It has proven effective in more than 5,000 adult and child patients without producing the un desirable side etiects associ ated with other antiemetic usage. Valuable In Therapy The drug has proved parti cularly valuable in radiation therapy with cancer patients, Dr. David W. Molander of the George S. Pack Medical Group, Cornell University Medical School and Sloan Kettering Institute, New York, reported. ' Tigan, a hydrochloride, is a stable, odorless, somewhat soluble white powder. It is available only on prescription. Dr. M. W. Goldberg and S. Teitel of the Hoffmann-La-Roe h e Laboratories succes sfully synthesized the agent.

STEVENSON UPI Correspondent Richmond, Va. -(UPD-Thirty-one Negro students in Vir ginia gathered up their school books for the most historic trip of their lives last Febru ary. Most of them were calm. It was, they said, "just another school day." A few admitted later they were scared. One by one they marched into public school classrooms i n Norfolk, Arlington and Alexandria. The historic difference was that the faces of their class mates were white. Integration came peacefully to Virginia. There were no angry crowds. There was no violence. Only a few catcalls and an occasional mutter ac companied the lowering of color bars in the state which the deep South had looked to as a leader in the struggle to maintain segregation. The token integration repre- Social Securiiy Cards Required Students who intend to take jobs during the summer vaca tion were reminded today that they will require social security cards by W. V. Nus baum, manager of the Med ford office of the Social Se curity administration. Nusbaum suggested that students who expect to need card's apply for them before the school term ends in order to have them available when looking for employment, or when starting to work. Students living in Medford may apply for cards at the Social Security office, 33 North Riverside ave. Those living outside of Medford may .obtain applications from. local post offices, and the complet ed applications may be mailed to the Medford Social Secur ity office. Any information regarding work permits should be ob tained from the office of the Oregon state employment service at 119 North Oakdale ave. in Medfojd, Nusbaum added. The Social Security office has no jurisdiction over the issuing of such permits. sented the collapse of a pro gram of "massive resistance" thrown up by Virginia in 1956. Its basic principle was to defy by every possible legal means the integration decrees of the Federal courts. "Massive resistance" died on Jan. 19, this year. Two courts, a Federal panel and the Virginia Supreme Court, almost simultaneously struck a death blow to the program after hundreds of hours of court hearings, appeals and other legal maneuvers. Gov. J. Lindsay Almond, a staunch segregationist, pre sided at the funeral of "mass ive resistance" before the General Assembly. He con ceded that some integration was inevitable and the state must search for some new method to contain or head off future integration. Segregationists Shocked His frank admission, a com plete turnabout of the "mass ive resistance" doctrine, shocked the" uncompromising segregationists who demanded sterner measures. Almond hinted that the state might eventually have to abandon its public school system and resort, to private classrooms. ' He summoned the General Assembly to a special session in early February to pass an emergency program of state scholarship grants of $250 per year for each student who wanted to attend private classes. Then the Assembly recessed until April while a special commission went to work on a long-range plan. At the same time, new litigation to 'admit Negroes to schools in Richmond and Newport News was coming up for hearings. The city of Charlottesville, which won a delay until Sep tember in admitting 12 Ne groes to its white schools, submitted a voluntary deseg regation plan to a Federal judge who approved it. Another city, Front Royal, was ordered- to integrate but chose to keep its approximate ly 800 white students in pri vate classes run by a local foundation Twenty -one Ne gro students went to the previously-white high school, all alone with 10 white teachers. 'Freedom of Choice' Almond's new plan, drafted by the legislative commission, called for a "freedom of choice" for each locality. Those that feel they can in tegrate their schools peace fully may do so. Those pre ferring segregation could, in effect, abolish their public schools and set up private classes. The "freedom of choice" program cleared the Senate by just one vote. It will go into effect next March 1, too late, the uncompromising segregationists contend, to ef fectively help the state this coming September. Under the new program, state financial help in the form of scholarships will go to the communities which re sort to private schools. Many of them are expected to do so. New Tire Stops Autos Faster New York (Science Service) -A new tire, made from butyl, a synthetic rubber created from oil refinery gases, will stop an automobile in one third less distance than con ventional tires. It will stop faster on wet roads than or dinary tires stop on dry roads. Developed by Esso Standard Oil Company, the tire also provides smoother, safer and quieter riding, it was reported here. Although the butyl rubber does not bounce as much . as conventional rubber, it takes the bounce out of an auto mobile ride because of the rubber's inherent shock ab sorption or "damping" prop erties. A long series of tests has shown the butyl tires to be resistant to the deteriorating effects of ozone and sunlight. Moreover, the tires will not screech or squeal when stop ping or rounding corners.

Bicycle Riders Should Follow Traffic Rules Medford Chief of Police Charles P. Champlin said this week that bicycle riders should remember they are expected to obey traffic rules and regulations when using public streets. This also applies to one way streets, he said, noting that too frequently bicycle riders can be seen pedalling the wrong way on the one way roadways. Chief Champlin, who re minded residents that May is American Bicycle month, said the best way to observe the month would be to have bi cycles safety - checked and then "double-check your own riding habits." Last year, there were 580 bicycle - motor vehicle acci dents in Oregon. These acci dents injured 363 people and killed four, all in the 5-17 age bracket. Most of .the injuries also occurred to riders under 17 years old. While any number of deaths is too many, Chief Champlin said, the 1958 bicycle death toll was 50 per cent below that of 1957. "I'd like to be able to see us cut that figure in half again this year," he said, "but to do that every bike rider and every driver will have to double their caution." A few good rules for bike riders to follow were cited by the police department: t. Keep to the right and ride in. a straight line. Always ride single file. 2. Look out for cars pull ing into traffic, and keep a special look-out' for sudden opening of car doors on the street side. 3. Slow down at all street intersections and look to the right and left Before crossing. Margaret O'Brien ...
