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. Vitamin
J"and Pharmaceutical corpora-
tion, New York.

Typical of the Bradley Loops section of US 30 near Brad

fire that can come from a mo

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

section of the old highway, for

streteh has eliminated the old Bradley Loops sector and

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

Mysterious Fly
Poses Threat To
American Cattle
Washington -(Science Service)-
A foreign fly that could
be mistaken for the common
house fly has been acting dif
ferently in its American
home. 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.
Bacon should be stored in
its original wrappings in the
refrigerator no longer than
one week. Bacon that is stored
longer develops a strong fla
vor and may darken and dry
out.
Though it -was built in 1797,
the Massachusetts capitol is
known as the' "new" State
House to distinguish it from
the "old" . State House, built
in 1713 and still standing on
Washington street, Boston.

How To Hold
FALSE TEETH
More Firmly in Place
Do your false teeth annoy and em
barrass by slipping, dropping or wob
bling when you eat, laugh or tallt?
Just sprinkle a little FASTEETH on
your plates. This alkaline (non-acid)
powder holds false teeth more firmly
and more comfortably. No gummy,
gooey, pasty taste or feeling. Does not
sour. Checks "plate odor" (denture
breath). Get FASTEETH today M
any drug counter.
Those With Brown
Eyes More Hurt
By Dental Drill
London-CScience Service)
Brown eyes will be blue' on
the next trip to the dentist to
have a tooth filled.
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. '

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."
