Commercial Vice Consul
From West Germany Tells
Of Economic
West Germany's trade with
the Pacific Northwest has
passed the little acorn stage
and should continue to grow
toward the stature of a great
oak, a Bonn government
spokesman said here Mon
day. Dr. Herwig Effenberg, com
mercial vice consul with the
West German consulate in Se
attle, discussed his trade in
relation to the federal repub
lic's over-all economic recov
ery since World War II.
He told an audience at the
Jackson County Chamber of
Commerce weekly roundtable
luncheon that thanks to U. S.
economic aid and advice the
Russians Believed
Prepared To Use
Chemical Punch
Washington-(Science Serv-ice-In
the event of a war the
Russians will probably use a
deadly one-two-three punch of
chemicals, microorganisms
and radioactive substances.
Any combination of these
three agents is deadlier than
one alone, the Russians have
found. This is stated in a re
port by Russian scientists on
the best means for destroy
ing the enemy and any pos
sible means of protection he
may devise.
The report was made in
The Organization of Medical
Service Following Mass Con
tamination of the Population
translated and distributed by
the Central Intelligence Agen
cy here.
Immunisation Meaningless
In their study the Russian
scientists made the following
points:
1. Radiation sickness that
follows the introduction of
radioactive substances into the
body, destroys the body's anti
body production. This means
that any protective program
of immunization, such as
might be set up by a nation's
public health service, against
biological warfare would be
meaningless.
2. Ordinary micro organ
isms normally found in the
body can be turned into dead
ly killers, using the combined
forms of warfare discussed in
the article.
3. The body's normal bar
riers to 'germs" can be torn
down, destroyed by chemicals
alone or in combination with
radioactive substances. .
4. Disease-causing microor
ganisms can be made to pene
trate the body's defenses
much faster. They can be
combined with chemicals, ra
dioactive substances or other
microorganisms so that scien
tists will not be able to diag
nose and treat the resulting
disease. '
New Game Helps
To Cut Accidents
Los Angeles (CPU A game
which is a cross between Bin
go and safety is helping to cut
industrial accidents at a large
manufacturing plant here.
The game is called SAFGO.
Each month every person in
the B. F. Goodrich Co. plant is
issued a SAFGO card. There
are 24 numbers on each card,
and every day one number is
drawn. The .first employee
whose numbers chosen in the
drawing form a green cross
representing safety wins a
$100 U.S. Savings bond un
less he has had an injury dur
ing the month which resulted
in loss of time.
"Interest in the game is
mounting," said J. M. Rob
bins, plant manager. "We ex
pect this interest and the safe
ty idea printed on the SAFCO
card to help measurably in
keeping accidents from hap
pening at our plant."

Cooperation
production level in West Ger
many and other free Euro
pean nations as well is "much
higher than before the war."
Fair a Success
Dr. Effenberg described the
current 23-nation internation
al trade fair in Portland as "a
real success for your state."
He reported that the fair
represented West Germany's
first appearance in such an
event on the West Coast in
which it boasted a pavilion of
its own specially designed for
the occasion.
The pavilion exhibits, he
said, are intended to present
"an idea cf typical German
consumer items.
He described the jointly-
occupied main structure as
marking "the first time in
history that several European
nations have joined in one
big exhibition, working to
gether economically."
Economic cooperation was
a major theme of Dr. Effen-
berg's roundtable talk. He dis
cussed the European Common
Market and further free-trade
possibilities in the future as
well as trade between his
country and the United States.
Among products being sold
by this country to his he men
tioned airplanes and great
quantities of food, including
poultry and canned fruits.
From the Pacific Northwest
specifically, he said, West Ger
many buys lumber, pulp,
grain, ores and electronic
equipment.
After Monday's roundta
ble luncheon, Dr. and Mrs. Ef
fenberg spent a considerable
part of the afternoon at Bear
Creek Orchards. They plan
ned to visit Ashland Tuesday
to see the new Shakespeare
Festival theatre. Prior to ar
riving in the Rogue Valley,
they stopped at Klamath Falls
and at Crater Lake. They ex
pect to visit Grants Pass after
Ashland.
Gout Linked To
High Intelligence
Washington-(Science Serv-ice)-Proof
of 'some truth in the
belief that intelligent people
are more frequently afflicted
with gout is reported here by
two scientists.
They found a low level of
positive correlation between
the I.Q.s and the level of uric
acid in the blood of 817 G.I.S
A high, level of uric acid is
usually present in the blood of
persons suffering from the
painful disease that strikes
the joints and big toes of its
victims. Many scientists, in
studying the case histories of
gout patients, have noticed
that the relatively rare dis
ease occurred most frequently
among prominent and success
ful people.
It may well be that highly
successful people eat richer
foods than does the average
man, or that a defect in the
manner in which the body
burns up this food may acti
vate the brain, Drs. DeWitt
Stetten Jr., and John Z. Hea
ron, National Insitute of Arth
ritis and Metabolic Diseases,
Bethesda, Md., explained.
Repellent Keeps
Rabbits Away
Ithaca, N.Y. - lUPD - Cornell
scientists say they have come
up with an effective repellent
to keep rabbits .from nibbling
away at expensive plants and
shrubs during the winter.
Mix seven pounds of pow
dered resin in one gallon of
ethyl alcohol and let it stand
in a warm place for a day or
two. Then paint it on the dry
bark before snow sets in.
A gallon of this mixture
will treat about 100 small
trees and last all winter.
Butif jonly a few trees or
shrubs are involved, the sci
entists suggest using chicken
wire for "tried and true protection."

Natural Fluorides
Found in Water
Of 1,903 Cities
Washington-(Science Serv-ice)-Water
supplies of 1,903
cities and towns in the United
States contain enough flu
oride naturally to prevent two
out of three dental cavities.
The combined population of
these cities and towns, about
7,000,000, added to about 35,
000,000 people living in 1,800
communities practicing con
trolled fluoridation, indicates
that one of every three people
in the country using central
water supplies now drinks
fluoridated water.
These figures were contain
ed in a report published here
by the U.S. Public Health
Service based on data com
piled by the dental directors
of all state health agencies.
In 43 States
The 1,903 communities with
naturally occurring fluoride
are distributed throughout
43 states. The community pop
ulations range from less than
50 to more than 500,000, with
35 per cent having more than
50,000 inhabitants. Thirty
eight per cent have popula
tions from 5,000 to 50000,
and 27 per cent have less than
1,000 inhabitants.
Texas, the state with the
most natural fluoridation, has
2,700,000 persons in 356
towns using naturally fluori
dated water New Mexico has
465,000 people, or 68 per cent
of the total population, living
in communities with natural
ly fluoridated water.
Other States
Each of 12 other states-Illinois,
Iowa, California, Colo
rado, Florida, Idaho, Indiana,
Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan,
Ohio and Wisconsin-has at
least 100,000 people served by
water with natural fluorida
tion. The fluoride found natural
ly is identical in its dental ef
fect to the fluoride used in
controlled fluoridation, the
PHS reported.

New Golf Ball
Glistens in Light
Cleveland, Ohio-UP&-A duf
fer's dream, a golf ball that's
almost impossible to lose, has
now come true.
The new ball, invented by
Franklin Veatch of Cleveland,
calls for coating the dimples
with a mirror-like metal that
glistens in any light.
Veatch, a Standard Oil of
Ohio research supervisor, says
the coated ball is easily seen
in flight and more easily spot
ted in the rough.
More is spent by music lov
ers in the U.S. to hear con
certs than by sports fans to see
pro baseball.

Palo Alto, Calif-4UPD-A new
tape recorder is reported so
rugged it will survive a jet
plane crash at 1,100 miles an
hour into a concrete wall..
The Lockheed Aircraft
Corp. developed the eight
pound recorder for moon
shots and interplanetary space
travel. It can record up to
three million items of scien
tific data as it sails through
outer space, the company
said, and can then divulge the
information, six times faster
than it had recorded it.
