GOP Success at All Levels Told Roseburg (CPU Mrs. Paul uaughtrey, .Portland, vice- chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, told Douglas county Republicans Wednesday night that "nation ally and locally Republicans are entering the coming po litical campaign with an un paralleled record of success at all levels."

She felt the GOP had re covered from its 1956 defeat and was prepared to carry on a "vigorous" campaign. The vice-chairman said that in retrospect the 1956 defeat was a "good thing" for "it awakened Republican work ers and office holders to the necessity of not only organiz ing fully but of telling our story to the voters." Few Students Need Discipline Houston, Tex. - (UPD - Super intendent John W. McFarland said only about one per cent of Houston's 170,000 public school students ever require any form of disciplinary ac tion for serious breaches of in-school conduct. "We strive for discipline that is preventive rather than corrective," McFarland said "We emphasize that it is part of the teacher's training to learn to handle discipline and ways of coping with dif ficulties before these difficul ties become critical." He said corporal punish ment is carried out only "as a last res&rt. and in the pres ence of the principal or anoth er teacher." mm J: 1 - m m OLD FASHIONED SOUR MASH JOCWCIHB J mo. w. . or.

HIGHEST Senafe Judiciary Men Ambidextrous Dick Vest Decides By DICK WEST Washington (UPD- Anyone who has spent much time con templating camels can appre- f ' jow . ' ' 1 ciate the the- f ory that the s was ' put to s getner by a f committee. i!-3 bo, for that matter, can anyone who has spent much time Dick west contemplating committees. This theory on the origin of the camel is based on the pre mise that nothing so eccentri cally contoured could have re sulted from any singleminded design. Clearly, the hump could have gotton on those legs only by compromise.- It is my belief, based on some recent research in the Congressional Record, that the camel is the handiwork of the Senate Judiciary Commit tee. If we examine this hypo thesis we will see how it fits in - with the current civil rights fight in the Senate. Is Ambidexterous Camel construction obvi ously was a case of the build er's right hand not knowing Portland Firm High Bidder on Shipyard Washington - (UPD - The Maritime Administration said today Steel Construction Co. of Oregon appeared to have submitted - the highest quali fied bid for the moth-balled Vancouver shipyard with an offer of $3,279,000. The firm is a subsidiary of Gilmore Steel Corp. of Port land. The Maritime Administra tion said it would need sev eral days to evaluate bids be fore an award was announced.

Weiss had tried to shield Car ter from photographers with his own body but when this failed, he threw the book, which missed. After a subcommittee aide broke up the hassle, Carter posed for the picture at right.- (UPI Telephoto) what the left hand was doing. Well, no parliamentary body that I know of it "more ambi dexterous than the judiciary committee. There have been several in stances of a right-wing sub committee not knowing what a leftwing committee was doing. Moreover, there have been times when I doubted that a particular subcommit tee knew what it was doing itself. At last count, the judiciary committee, which is the most compartmentalized in Con gress, had about a dozen off shoots, give or take a couple of subcommittees. I- use an approximate figure because there seems to be some ques tion as to the exact number. The Feb. 8 issue of the Con gressional Record contains a reference to 11 judiciary sub committees and a list of 12. The committee itself last year listed 15 subcommittees, or one for each member. It was the subcommittees on constitutional rights and constitutional amend m e n t s which figured in the present Senate move to bypass the Committee .on Civil Rights Legislation. While one subcommittee was holding hearings on legis lation to expand federal juris diction in this field the other was considering legislation to uphold state control. They apparently cancelled each other out and the com mittee approved neither mea sure. But, in line with my theory on where the camel came from, I wouldn't have been surprised U it had ap proved both. High Voltage Line Kills Astoria Man Astoria (UPD William H.

Hamlin Motor Company Jay Allen Company Lea Motors Medford Motors Morse Motors Parsons Moto'rs Skinner- Buick-Cadillac 9 Stevens Auto -Sales Protein Found To Protect Body Against Colds New York -(Science Serv-ice)-An agent produced by the human body that appears to be capable of knocking out the common cold and many respi ratory infections was describ ed by a London researcher here. . The agent is called interfer on by its discoverer Dr. Alick Isaacs of the National Insti tute for Medical Research. He described his latest findings to more than 150 top virolo gists attending an internation al symposium on virology here. Dr. Isaacs foresees the day when local infections such as colds that settle in the head, eyes or throat, could be swabbed or sprayed with in terferon, he told Science Serv ice. The agent, a protein slightly smaller than an anti body, can be produced in mon key kidney cells for human use.- Interferon is produced by disease-causing viruses. It is manufactured by many differ ent animal cells that have been invaded by a virus. The virus-infected cells not only protect themselves withinter feron particles, but also con fer resistance on other cells. Dr. Isaacs has found that interferon can be produced from inactivated influenza vi ruses, fowl plague and New castle disease, measles and po liomyelitis. Production of this infection-fighting agent can be assumed to be a property of all viruses, he said. How ever, interferon produced by viruses that cause tumor growth does not inhibit the of the tumor, he found. Interferon from one virus is active against any other vi ruses but is much more active in animal cells from the same species. For example, inter feron from cow cells is less active on body cells of chick ens than on cow cells. Unlike vaccination, which is a preventive step through immunization, an application of interferon is apparently ef fective against infections that have already started in the body. Infection-causing virus es can be successfully inhibit ed by interferon without harming body cells, the re searcher pointed out. Less Food Said To Boost Life Span Ithaca, N. Y. -(UPD Scien tists have been able to extend the life span of animals by feeding them less while young. - The New York State Col lege of Agriculture at Cornell-University reports that by giving calves 35 per cent less food than they normally require, the normal 12-year life span of cows was in creased by as much as 20 months. Similar experiments have been made on rats, hamsters, monkeys and silk worms. The process usually in volves decreasing the calories while maintaining nearly normal levels of protein and other nutrients. Cornell men say that while no one has tried to prolong human life by restricting children's calorie consump- tion, there is no reason think it couldn't be done. to New Orleans Set For Mardi Gras New Orleans (UPD Thou sands of workmen, business men and would-be revelers are scurrying about making last minute preparations this week for that special brand of carnival madness called Mardi Gras.

Committeemen said House leaders had decided to call up the measure about March 10. This raised the possibility that the House might act before the Senate woundup its marathon civil rights debate.
