Goal Half Reached In GOP Campaign The Jackson County Repub lican Central Committee fi nance committee reported that over half of its goal had been reached in the current fund raisflig drive. The committee set May 1 as the expected windup date of the campaign. Gene Piazza, treasurer, an nounced that 80 per cent of the funds raised were from Republican voters who were giving financial support for the first time, and declared that GOP voters were now backing their beliefs with solid support. The GOP county finance committee also reported that 50 per cent of the funds would be turned over to the state and national organization and the balance would remain in Jackson county for candidate and organizational expendi tures. The last phase of the drive will utilize direct mail and telephone contacts by commit tee members James Ragland, Joseph Walsh, Ronald Rick etts, Don Stathos, and Dick Courtwright. Research Work on Pesticides Among Topics Discussed (Continued from page 1) Dr. Durham, in reporting on the research work con cerning the hazards of the use of pesticides, said that they had divided the population into three parts. The divisions include: (1) spray men or formulators, who are directly exposed; (2) innocent bystander, the home that is directly or adjacent to the agricultural area being sprayed, and small children who obtain an empty pes ticides container; and (3) the consumer, who is exposed to the pesticide in small amounts on fruits and veg etables. The doctor explained that to measure the amount of ex posure for the formulators, they went into the field dur ing spraying. The tests con ducted on both the clothing and respirator gave the re searchers an idea as to the amount of the chemical the worker would have gotten ask for the I oldest name in Vodka Vodka Gimlet 528J 80 PROOF .since 1721 fteiSKA VODKA MADE FROM GRAIN BY L RELSKY & CIE-. HARTFORD, CONN. without protective clothing pr respirator. The tests showed that the material on the skin was more hazardous than that breathed. In conducting tests for the "innocent bystander" group, several groups were checked over a period of one year. The groups (those living in or near orchards; living at least 500 feet from sprayed area; and living outside of agricul tural area) were then tested as to blood enzyme level. Dr. Durham reported that no change was noted in any of the groups except for those persons who dealt di rectly with the application of pesticides. For the formula tors, he said, their enzyme level dropped during the sum mer. To conduct the test from the standpoint of the consum er, Dr. Durham and his staff purchased 100 full meals at various restaurants. Dinners Checked The dinners were then checked for DDT content. Dr. Durham said that the residue from this chemical remains longer than most pesticides. He said that all of the meals contained some DDT in at least one food, the amount being in proportion to the amount of food fat content. Based on these tests, he said, the average person would get 184 micrograms of DDT per day, or 18428,000,- OOOths of an ounce. It is not believed, the doc tor continued, that this amount of DDT is hazardous to people. Tests conducted on 45 pris oners over a two year period in which individuals received varying amounts of DDT in their food each day, were re viewed. Tests showed that none of the men suffered any harmful effects to their livers or nervous systems. He added that the tests did how that a person stores DDT in their body fat. The amount stored builds up quickly dur- Castro Iculifies Eugene Aviator - Havana-ttJPD-Premier Fidel Castro demanded today that the United States halt "sav age" attacks on Cuba's cane fields by "pirate" planes which he said came from Flor ida. In a 3-hour-and-15-minute television speech, Castro refer red specifically to a light plane which exploded in flight early Thursday near Penco, Cuba. He said one . of the two oc cupants of the plane-both of whom were killed-has been identified as Robert K. Frost, of Eugene, Ore. The second man's identity is unknown. The bodies of the two men are being shipped to Havana. Castro welcomed a U.S. of fer to send experts to check the nationality of the plane-a Piper Comanche-and the iden tity of its occupants. ISLAND FOR SALE Paris-flJPD-The French Min istry of Finance is trying to sell the notorious Devil's Is land prison colony, complete with penitentiary buildings and cocoanut trees. Sale of the prison colony, used from 1817 to 1946 for France's most desperate criminals as well as political prisoners would save the government $300,000 a year. ing the first six months of consumption, then levels off, he said. The doctor said another study is under way which will continue for a 10-year period with prisoners in the federal prison in Atlanta, Ga. Commenting on air pollu tion, Dr. Durham stated that studies show that workers can easily get too much of the pesticide. The rest of the pop ulation has a much less ex posure to the chemicals and are not affected. Conducting the meeting was Dr. C. I. Drummond, county public health phy sician. Also speaking at . the meeting was Jack Foster of the Citizens Air Pollution Abatement League. He stated that the meeting was the first of a group that the League hoped to have in the area.

The Strategic Air Command with its nuclear-armed jet bombers and missiles, comprising the main deterrent to aggression, is so potent that Russia would not dare to provoke its re taliatory blows. -Russian power grows apace, however, and during the next three years the So viets will have numerical su periority in the most awesome weapon yet conceived, the in tercontinental ballistic missile. They might come to believe they could knock out Ameri ca's retaliatory power in a single, surprise attack. Extraordinary Measures -During this missile gap period, America may have to take such extraordinary mea sures as keeping a large por tion of the Strategic Air Com mand on continuous airborne alert. That would prevent it being destroyed on the ground and serve notice on the Krem lin that Russia could not es cape retaliation. -The period of peril will be temporary. During the missile gap era, America will be building toward a diversified deterrent force that is mobile, protected and certain to sur vive missile attack. It will in clude Polaris missile sub marines, the fast-firing Min uteman intercontinental bal listic missile based in under ground launch sites starting in 1963. and a variety of military satellites to gather intelli gence and give attack warn ing. Air Alert Needed The debate swirls around these key points and only sporadically touches on other aspects of defense such as: Preparations for more likely limited wars, anti-submarine measures to protect against Russia's 450-sub fleet, ade quacy of airlift to move troops about the world in a hurry and obsolescence of Navy combat ships. There is general agreement an air alert may be needed, but wrangling over when it should be started. The admin istration, supported by the Air Force leadership, wants money to practice for it and lay in extra aircraft engines and parts. SAC Commander Gen. Thomas S. Power, back ed by Democratic critics of the administration, thinks there should be a continuous air alert now. IT'S A WONDERFUL STORI Saturday Check List OF GOOD VALUES There is agreement, too, that there will be a missile gap. Republicans say it will be "moderate" and there will be no gap in over all deter rent power. Democrats fear it could mean national disaster at worst, and successful So viet diplomatic blackmail at best. The gap could be narrowed, or closed, by more produc tion of current missiles, the Atlas and Titan. The admin istration prefers to await the superior Minuteman. It re Imains to be seen whether Democrats will propose more Atlas and Titan squadrons. There is agreement that the Polaris submarine program could be stepped up. The Navy would like to double produc tion, making it six subs a year with 16 Polaris missiles each. It has some Democratic back ing. T he administration wants to await successful firings :om a submerged submarine to verify the sensational re sults it has had in land-based firings. Then there - will be a speed up. In a related area, the Air Force would like reinstate ment of its B-70 bomber pro gram. The administration has cut the 2,000-mile an hour plans to a prototype project. The Air Force, with some Democratic backing, sees the plans as a deterrent weapon which, like the Polaris sub, could roam at will, always ready to hurl ballistic missiles -in retaliation for aggression. The B-70 cutback is widely re garded as being chiefly an economy move. History suggests there will be some shake-up and increase in Eisenhower's budget when the congressional appropna tions committees are finished with their hearings and when the big debate is over. Requests Eliminated Last year, Congress voted the President a net gain of $82,258,000 over what he asked for defense. To arrise at that net, however, it elimi nated $929,561,000 in admin istration money requests and added $1,011,819,000 in its own proposals. This year, the difference be tween what the military de partments wanted in new money and what the Presi dent asked Congress to pro vide amounts to $3,338,000, 000, a cut of 7.6 per cent in service requests. The total military appropriation pro posal was $43,915,000,000 and the administration cut it to $40,577,000,000 before send ing the request to Congress.
