Doubling of Consumer Credit Outstanding by 1980 Expected Elmer Walzer By ELMER C. WALZER UPI Financial Editor' New York (UPD The fu ture looks bright to the ex perts who are scanning the horizons beyond the stock market diffi culties and the Khrush chev visit. Prof e ssor Thomas G. Gies, of the University of M ichigan, said recently i that between now and. 1980 we should look for a doubling of consumer credit outstand ing. He said it may well go above the $100 billion mark. He cites four factors for this belief: 1. Between now and 1980 we must anticipate the popu lation of the United States will reach 250 million and the number, of households more than 70 million. More Younger Families 2. A restructuring of the population toward younger families will further amplify demand for consumer credit. 3. Additional population will locate itself in suburban rings around the great metro1 politan areas where transpor tation requirements will tend to raise the number of multi car families., 4. The increase in income during the next two decades gross national product is ex pected to reach the $800-$850 I billion range , by 1980- will bring a larger proportion of families into a credit-worthy status. Air Force To Be Future Space Force Washington - (UPB - The de fense department designated the Air Force today to be America's future space force. This was a jolt to the Army and Navy. The department turned over to the Air Force sole military responsibility for -all, "space transportation" and space ve hicle rocket boosters. Projects worth hundreds' of millions of dollars, including the Army's 1,500,000 -pound Saturn rocket booster, will be turned over to the Air Force, according to Dr. Herbert York, director of research and engineering. While the Army and Navy will develop specialized satel lites for such purposes as navi gation and communications, a Pentagon announcement said, they will have to rely on the Air Force for putting their space vehicles into orbit.

The editorial amplifies ex pansions in other lines that will accompany the rise in consumer credit, Professor Gies anticipates. Increase in Housing Demand "These data," says the edi torial, '.'equally well suggest a tremendous increase in the demand for housing and hence the mortgage money in the decade or two ahead." In point of fact, the large increase in population (as pre dicted by the census burea i and others) also indicates large increases in demand for consumer non-durables. More cars will mean more roads will be needed, the Chronicle adds. All these things would have to be paid for and this will take money. Where will it come from? Remove Manpower Waste The Chronicle says this an swer is not to be found in the financial field. It feels we must stop subsidizing agricul ture and put those funds to work on production. Other manpower waste also should be removed, it holds. - Such a move, the magazine holds, would tend to push prices down and ease the bur den upon those who wish fur ther supplies of durables as well as upon the various ele ments in the population en gaged in preparing to produce enlarged volumes of goods for the consumers. Night Class Added To SOC Schedule Ashland-Night class offer ings at Southern Oregon col lege have been supplemented by a course especially de signed for teachers, Sp 493, principles and techniques of speech (g), which will hold its first meeting Tuesday, Sept. 29, between 7 and 9 p.m. in the speech clinic on the base ment floor of the library. Class instructor is Leon C. Mulling,- director of the SOC speech and hearing .clinic, who said the class has proved to be of great value to teach ers and it would be largely concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of the speech difficulties of children. , Three hours credit will be given for the course, and en rollment may be made during the first class meeting. No en rollments will be accepted aft er the second meeting. . Those interested in the course or in any of the others offered during the fall term are asked to contact the col lege registrar, Mrs. Mabel W. Winston, for further informa tion and details. Medford Man Attends Los Angeles Meeting . " Ri chard E. Bridenstine, 2670 Crater Lake aye., Med ford, recently attended a tech nical meeting in Los Angeles at which a new anti-biotic germ-killer was discussed. Bridenstine, a medical sales representative of Lederle lab ratories, American Cyanamid company, learned details of the chemical properties and medical application of the new antibiotic. PAY RAISES GIVEN San Francisco (UPD The AFL-CIO national convention gave $10,000 annual pay raises Tuesday, to President George Meany and Secretary Treasurer William F. Schnitz ler. The boost increased their salaries to $45,000 and $43, 000 respectively. . Defects Inborn Heart Outlined at Convention An analysis' of inborn heart defects among Oregon chil dren and the challenge these defects present to physicians and medical researchers were outlined today by a group of University of Oregon medical school doctors during the opening-day session of the an nual Oregon State Medical Society meeting here. The report was based on the findings among 938-. pa tients seen during the past 4Vi years in the congenital heart clinic at the medical school's Crippled Children's division. Dr. Herbert E. Griswold, head of the division of cardi ology, presented the report which was prepared in coop eration with Dr. "Richard L. Sleeter, former Medford pe diatrician and now director of the Crippled Children's di vision; Dr. Victor D. Menashe, assistant director of CCD; and Dr. Ralph B. Reaume, clinical instructor in medicine. Number With Defects Although precise figures are not available, the doctors esti mate that 150 to 300 children with heart defects are born in Oregon each year and that ap proximately 2,000 to 3,000 children suffering'from these ailments are living in the state at the present time. Advanced- surgical tech niques, including the relative ly new open -heart surgery, 1 coupled with improved diag nostic methods, are restoring some of these children to health. However, future medi cal research should be direct ed at pinpointing and prevent ing the events during preg nancy that cause these mal formations, Dr. Griswold em phasized. Of the 938 children studied, 273 have undergone surgery for correction of their heart defects either before or after being seen at the clinic. Of these, 49 operations have been classified as unsucc e s s f u 1, either on the basis of death or lack of improvement. Open-Heart Procedures These operations include 78 open-heart surgical procedures performed at the Medical School hospital since April, 1958. The doctors reported that 73 per cent of these opera tions have been successful, a rate that is comparable to, or better than, the rates at most of the U.S. medical centers where these operations are being done, Dr. Griswold said. The UOMS reported 100 per cent success.in open-heart op erations on two types of in born heart defects-the simple atrial septal defect, a hole in the wall between the two upper chambers of the heart; and congenital aortic stenosis, a narrowing just below the valve or at the valve of the aorta, the artery carrying purified blood from the heart. Open-heart surgery is done in cases of real need when the child's chances of long-term survival without the aid of surgery are extremely poor, Dr. Griswold pointed out. The smallest -group of patients seen at the clinic have been those between the ages of 15 and 20, suggesting that the ma jority of children with heart defects have only limited chances of surviving to adulthood,- the doctor said. Most Common Reason ' On the brighter side, the doctors reported that the most common single reason for re ferral .to the clinic turned out to be "innocent" functional heart murmurs. This condi tion was found in 199 chil dren, or nearly one out of five cases, the majority in boys under 5 years of age.. These murmurs, occurring frequently in children and young adults, do not constitute heart disease and usually de crease or disappear as the in dividuals . grow older. The most important functions Of the clinic in these cases, Dr. Griswold said, are to reassure the parents about their chil dren's health and to see that unnecessary limitations are not placed on the children's activities. Among those children seen at the clinic who were actual ly suffering heart disease, the most common ailment among non-blue babies was the ven tricular spetal defect, a hole in the wall between the lower, or pumping, chambers of the heart. The most common cause for so-called blue babies was a condition called tetralogy of Fallot, ill which the combina tion of an obstruction to the lungs and a septal defect al lows the blood to be pumped back into the body before it has picked up oxygen in the lungs. Unexplained Significant, but still unex plained, sex differences were revealed by the study, Dr. Griswold reported. For in stance, patent ductus arterio sis, the persistence after birth of a normal prenatal connec tion between the pulmonary artery and .the aorta, was found to be more common in girls than boys by a ratio of five to two. On the other hand, . the narrowing of the aortic - valve occurred three times oftener in boys than in girls. ; ' Of the 938 children, 70 re main undiagnosed, either be cause all tests have not been completed or because tests have not proved sensitive enough to detect the trouble. This fact points up the need for further research into diag nostic procedures. Dr. Gris wold said. A total of 548 com Dlicated diagnostic tests have been performed on the chil dren. Seventy of the children have died during the course of the study. Of these, 40 deaths were related to surgical pro cedures, and 30 deaths result- MAIL TRIBUNE.Medferd, Or. f Wednesday.
