12 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. Monday, June 22, 1959 pi - pig Medical Group Gives Warning on Menace Peddlers Atlantic City - (Science Service) The "merchants of SALE! Boys'no-iron wash 'n' wear shirts menace" door to door food fad salesmen - received a sharp rap from the American Medical Association's Council on Foods and Nutrition here, j A growing corps of false health lecturers, food faddists and nutrition "experts" is waiting to take you on a whirl of nutrition nonsense, the Council warns. These salesmen deal in myths, false claims, and mis representations. They build and prey upon the feai of an imaginary illness. Cancer Said Cured One salesman's pitch, an actual recording by a Govern ment investigator, went some thing like this: "this (food) product has completely cured my cancer." Another sales man .claimed that his product cured him of a number of diseases ranging from heart disease to arthritis, "I got hold of this product through divine revelation," he said. , Hundreds of salesmen offer as remedies mixtures of vita mins, minerals, alfalfa, water cress, parsley, kelp (seaweed), royal jelly, special fatty acids, oysters, lecithin, herbs and roots. ' The black silk hat and tie may be gone but the old medi cine man still hawks his wares from door to door, claiming to be a health ex pert j May Be Too Late Persons who believe that by taking these preparations 'they will cure some disease ' may end up turning to a doctor when it is too late for the doctor to help, the Council stressed. The -various types of food quackery practiced in the United States today, specific samples of such foods, and recordings of sales conversa tions were presented at the annual meeting of the Ameri can Medical Association here.

Kemmerer, Wyo. -(UPD- The Oregon Centennial pioneers took it easy Sunday beneath the shade of cottoiuvood trees at their camp on the banks of the Green river in the Little Colorado Desert about . 40 miles from here. George Kolzow, manager of the Hillsboro Chamber of .Commerce, arrived at the camp about noon after a trip from Oregon and presented 30 pounds of strawberries from the George Allison farm of Sherwood and some pastry. ; The oldest member of the wagon train, 66 -year -old Weaver Clark of Hillsboro, was stricken with a mild at tack of tick fever, the Fifty hiners reported Sunday. . He was taken to a hospital In Kemmerer, given an injec tion and medicine and return ed to the camp and put in isolation on one of the wag ons for a few days.

'Firecracker Ship Studied Los Angeles (DPD Re search is under way in a top secret U.S. project to develop a 1,000-ton space ship propell ed by "atomic firecrackers." The project was outlined Sunday by Air Force and scientific sources who de scribed tne idea as 'some thing like setting off fire crackers behind a tin can -only this will use one hell of a powerful firecracker." The Advanced Research Projects Agency, which has a $1 million study under way at the John Jay Hopkins Laboratory of General Dy namics in San Diego, Calif., has revealed only that it is proposed to drive the craft "by a series of small nuclear explosion?." Sources here said the idea was "as simple as it souncis." "You just set off atomic bombs behind the : ship," a scientist said. "Not all at once, but in small packages in order to control the ship's acceleration." The informants, who" de clined to be identified be . cause of the tight security wraps on the project, said studies were underway into several ways of desiging such a craft.
