J MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. Wsdnnday, Aug. 26, 1959 Anti-Diabetic Pill Promises Disease Control Washington-(Science Serv-ice-A new anti-diabetic pill promises better control of the disease in children than other oral drugs now in use. This was reported by Dr. Samuel J. N. Sugar, George Washington University School of Medicine here. Young diabetics produce little of their own insulin and . their disease runs an unstable, hard-to-control course. Dr. Sugar said the new drug, "DBI (Phenformin), used in conjunction with insulin in jections, provides fined con trol. The same holds true in adult unstable diabetics. Lssr Control , Other oral drugs, Dr. Sugar said provide similar control, but to a lesser .degree, j Dr. Sugar listed three addi tional advantages of DBI: 1. It is effective in doses C from one-third to one-twenti- j eth as large as the other , drugs. This may account for f failure to detect toxic effects, although some nausea has 1 been reported. 2. In some cases where the 1 other drugs lose control of the J disease, DBI re-establishes j" control. ) 3. BDI also may be used ad j vantageously in conjunction Lwith other oral anti-diabetics. BliTd Different The new drug's mode of ac tion is believed to be differ ent from the others, but.it is ? not definitely known. The j difference, Dr. Sugar sur- mised, might lie in its method 5 t metabolizing carbohyd rate. l DBI, which has not yet been distributed, for general use, is ' a product of the U. S.

Th tortuous, curving, narrow action of road is still used to reach the park, but has been bypassed by a recently completed new highway section. to attest the devastation by fire that can come from a mo ment of carelessness. From Portland down the river, with two small excep tions, it is fast, smooth sailing clear to Clatskanie, approxi mately 65 miles. One of the exceptions is con struction in the vicinity of Goble. . , Here a stretch of 3.74 miles of grading and paving, plus construction of a bridge, is 95 per cent completed. The cost will be $824,500. A 1.35-mile extent of grad ing and paving in this vicinity scheduled to cost $349,400, is 10 per cent completed. New Road Ready - The other exception is a twisty stretch of road extend ing two or three miles west of Rainier. Then it's another quick breeze into Clatskanie. Fifteen miles farther on, at Westport, you can look the length of a 2.54-mile stretch of highway under construction, and then travel the narrower, curving road that will be eliminated. This stretch of highway. 60 per cent completed, will cost about $535,000. Now you are in the Wauna vicinity, and ready to travel that 2.62 miles of highway, al ready built at a cost of $855, 000, which takes traffic through the deep cut and across the big fill that elimi nated the Bradley Loops. Here is the Bradley state Park, which is reached by a section of the old highway, for those who want really to ap- Hert is an example of the new Bradley section of US 30 on the way to Astoria. This widened, straightened, modern streteh has eliminated the old Bradley Loops sector and eat much time off the drive from Portland to Astoria.

Tha Orasonian Nowhere have the road builders been quieter the last few years than in Northwest Oregon, with most of the pub licity going to US 30 east of Portland and US 99 to the south. It will come as a surprise to many that Lower Co lumbia US 30 is now at least as good a way to go to Astoria as to take the Sunset Highway US 26 to its junction with US 101, four miles south of Seaside. A good way to prove this to yourself and dramatize Ore gon's distinctive marriage of modern roads to inspiring scenery is to take both routes m an easy one-day trip.

River Beauty Thrilling It's about 200 miles, and five hours' driving time, to go from Portland to Astoria on US 30, then by US 101 to the junction south of Seaside, and back to Portland. All will thrill to the beauty of imposing Columbia River vistas, and be saddened, by contrast on the return trip, as they come through the Tilla mook Burn a forest of snags preeiate the fact that the good old days are gone in this par ticular section. Here, too, ' is an imposing sight of Puget Island in the Columbia River, a vast pano rama of farmland, and smoke rising from a mill far down on the valley floor by the river. Only available time limits the sight-seeing visitor in the Astoria vicinity. Here is the Astor Column, where a thrilling view rewards a 166-step climb from a point 700 feet above sea level. Or the visitor may want to see historic Fort Clatsop, a mile east of US 101 at a point four miles south of Astoria. A few miles farther is the turn-off for Ft. Stevens State Park, which is particularly in viting to those with trailers, or those who want to camp out. Here is Coffenberry Lake for swimmers, and the beached wreckage of the old Peter Ire dale. At Seaside is the salt cairn where members of the Lewis and Clark party obtained salt from sea water in 1806, and also the "turnaround" and the many modern attractions of one of Oregon's outstanding resort cities. A side trip possibility will bring a right turn at the Can non Beach junction, the same junction where US 26 ulti mately is taken for the return to Portland. At the side of the road near Cannon Beach is the historic cannon from which the city gets its name, and near here also is the entrance to Ecola Beach State Park, which has extensive picnic facilities, a wealth of good sea views, and much hiking traiL FOUT STEVeHS state TARK seAeioe BEACH, ' i m - - - a.. m fi i Singer Banned From Using Songs San Francisco-(UPD-An in junction was issued here Tues day forbidding the use of four popular, songs in the Judy Garland stage show. U.S. District Judge Louis E. Goodman issued the injunc tion against Sidney Luft, hus band and manager of the en tertainer. u It was sought by Irving Ber lin, Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein II, Chappell & Co., Inc., and New Vorld Music Corp., who complained that Luft was using the songs without paying royalties. The songs involved in the dispute were "A Couple of Swells," "A Wonderful Guy," "This Can't Be Love," and "Oh, Lady Be Good." The injunction was issued summarily when Luft failed to file an answer to a com plaint of last July 9. Judge Goodman also ordered Luft to pay damages of $1,267. Until the U. S.

These changes my be a warning of a new pest in the making, a U.S. Depart ment of Agriculture research er told Science Service. The fly, Musca autumnalis, was first reported in Long Is land, N.Y., in 1953. Very little is known of its life history or habits. While it is considered mainly a nuisance in s na tive lands, the fly is proving to be more than a nuisance here, Joseph W. Gentry said. Menacing- To Industry Potentially, the fly is as menacing to the dairy indus try as the Japanese beetle has become to gardeners and farmers. Historically, the in vasion of and spread in the United States by both the new fly and the Japanese bee tle are not dissimilar. It has ; built up to large numbers and is currently "seriously annoying" cattle in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and New York. Its behavior in the U.S. is largely unpredictable, Gentry pointed out, since its environment is different. Na tural controls, such as para sites that prey on this species of fly, are also missing. It is too widespread to at tempt any eradication pro gram now, the USDA re searcher said. However, ento mologists throughout the country are alert to the dan ger of the insect's becoming a serious economic pest. Similar Situation A similar situation -was the development of the Japanese beetle, Gentry explained. At first it was considered as merely a minor garden pest. The beetle increased in num bers, becoming a threat to many crops, until now there are strict quarantine and oth er control measures in efect. The USDA's Plant Pest Control Division; survey and detection operations, receives regular reports on insect con ditions throughout the nation. State clearing houses send the national office reports on sig nificant "finds"-many made by the general public-thereby maintaining a close 'check on the insect population. BABY DROWNED IN POOL Firemen and police at Van Nuys, Calif., work over the limp form of 16-month-old Donald Leslie Fordon Jr. as his aunt, Nancy Proud hamme, watches anxiously. Parents, in rear, filled with anguish, grip one another. The boy wandered away from his home and managed to open the gate to a nearby pool. He was found by Danny Stark, 8, who pulled him from the pool and called for help. The firemen worked for 45 minutes but the little boy could not be saved. California led the U. S. in the number of registered mo tor vehicles in 1958 with 7,012,163. Vermont was last with 145,413. Postman Uses Pen To Save Man's Life Pasadena, Calif..- (UPD - A postman saved a traffic vic tim's life Tuesday with the use of a ball point pen, doc tors reported. Vincent G. Armino, 34, who spent six years as a medical corpsman in the Navy, used the pen to save a man who swallowed his tongue when he was thrown from an auto during a collision. Annino was walking his route when he spotted Hans J. Brenmoehl, 35, lying on the street, his face turning blue. Annino went to Bren moehl, forced a pen between Brenmoehl's teeth an then stuck the pen down his throat to dislodge his tongue. Brenmoehl was reported in fair condition today at Hunt i n g t o n Memorial hospital. Doctors said he was alive be cause of Annino's prompt action.

An Australian has discov ered that more persons with brown or dark brown eyes feel the pain of the dental drill more than people with lighter colored irises. Blue-eyed persons appear best able to endure the drill without the use of a pain killer, Philip R. N. Sutton of the dental school at the Uni versity of Melbourne, Austra lia, reports in the Journal of Nature. Very few of those irises were grayish-blue or geenish gray. needed analgesic either. Continuing along the color scale, 13 per cent of the sub jects whose eyes were grayish-green, green or hazel re quired a pain reliever .while 30 per cent of the patients with light brown or brown did also. More than 63 per cent of those with dark eyes called for an analgesic. High-Speed Drill Used Sutton examined 403 Aus tralians of European descent whose teeth were being pre pared for filling. All cavi ties were cut with a high speed drill. He based his conclusions on observations of at least 40 persons for each eye color ex cept light brown, where there were only 11 subjects, 23 with brown and 28 with dark brown. He then retested 136 of the subjects. Of these, the same values were obtained for the color of the eyes of 115 while the pain reaction was the same for 114 of these. The discrep ancies were not considered to be significant. The association between these factors is highly signi ficant, but is considered to be due to their joint association with other factors, he con cluded.

S. 89 about 8 miles north of Gardiner at the north entrance to Yellowstone Na tional park Tuesday. Park county sheriff's offic ers identified the woman as Mrs. P..S. Tschang. Her 26-year-old husband was taken to the hospital at Mammoth in the park. The hospital said Tschang was in shock and was badly cut but described his general condition as good. Deputy Sheriff Dick Kyser identified Mrs. Tschang as the driver. "She apparently dozed at the wheel," he said. "The car got over too far on the shoulder and ran into a con crete abutment of a ditch passing under the road. The car was demolished." Temblor Recorded In So.
