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

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-

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

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

that the meeting was the first
of a group that the League
hoped to have in the area.

Key Points in
Missile Debate
Pointed Out
(Continued fiom page 1) 1
Up to now,' the millions ofi
words in the great debate
seem to boil down to these
key points:
-U.S. military power, right
now, is second to none. 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.

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.
