Pep and Desire
To Use It Lead
To Prolonged Life
Baltimore (Science Service)
- If you can retain your pep
as well as your desire to use
it, you will probably live to a
ripe old age.
A New York physician told
the American Medical Associ
ation's Committee on Aging
here that the two major ele
ments in prolonging life are
the preservation of energy
and a high degree of motiva
tion.
The first of these, Dr. Theo
dore G. Klumpp said, can be
maintained through proper
diet, exercise and rest. The
second comes from purposeful
useful activity.
Must Do Everything
"I believe that we must do
everything we can, as wc
grow older to resist the incli
nation to slow down the
tempo of our living," he
said. "I am convinced that
if you will just sit and wait
for death to come along, you
will not have long to wait.
Earlier at the two-day reg
ional conference, Dr. David B.
Allman of Atlantic City, N.J.,
past president of the AMA,
promised more useful and
productive lives for the aging
population. He cited as "Med
icine's Blueprint for the New
Era of Aging" the following
six points:
1. Stimulation of a realistic
attitude toward aging by all
people.
Wider Use of Service
2. Promotion of health
maintenance programs and
wider use of restorative services.
3. Extension of effective
methods of financing health
care for persons over 65.
4. Expansion of skilled per
sonnel training programs and
improvement of medical facilities.
5. Amplification of medical
and socio-economic research
in problems of aging.
6. Leadership and coopera
tion in community programs.
Another physician. Dr.
Franklin Yoder, an official of
the AMA, called for a vigor
ous program to eliminate han
dicaps imposed on older per
sons. Elimination of physical,
social, mental, economic and
employment handicaps, he
aid, "will insure the seniors
of a greater opportunity for
life fulfillment and would
help them meet their over-all
economic needs with Indepen
dence and dignity. "

"Why is the man threat

"Hush," hlned the

why," persisted tha little

Books Decay
Rapidly; Durable
Paper Sought
Richmond, Va. - (Science
Service)-By about 1980, near
ly 40 per cent of the so-called
permanent" books printed
between 1900 and 1949 will
have such brittle pages that
they will have to be taken
out of circulation completely.
Researchers at the Virginia
State Library here chose 500
non-fiction books which had
not been handled excessively
and tested the paper by ma
chine tearing and bending.
Only one per cent of the bonks
had "high strength" papers.
The other 99 per cent were
expected to last about 50
years or less with moderate
usage.
A published report of the
tests stated that although li
brarians had been concerned
about book decay, no one had
guessed that the situation was
so serious.
Acidity Factor
Dr. Robert V. Hobbs. a
paper analyst at the National
Bureau of Standards in Wash
ington who has followed the
Virginia study, said that the
acidity of wood pulp used in
paper manufacture is the fac
tor that causes paper to de
cay. Papers made of rags have
a lower acid content and last
longer.
The acid gets Into the paper
during the processing of wood
pulp, and up until a few years
ago, Dr. Hobbs said, manufac
turers were not particularly
concerned about acid content
because no one knew that it
caused decay.
The Virginia researchers
are now working on a tech
nique to stop acid-caused de
cay of books already in print.
They do this by dipping the
paper In a solution that neu
tralizes the acid, Dr. Hobbs
explained.
To demonstrate lis point,
the Virginia State Library
printed the report of the teals
on a newly developed, low-
acid paper.

Cancer 'Cure'
Predictions Said
Bad Psychology
Louisville, Ky. (Science
Service) - "Psychologically
bad" was the term used here
by a cancer researcher to des
cribe predictions that the cure
for cancer is just around the
corner and that a break'
through has been discovered.
Scientists have made little,
if any, progress in the treat
ment of the very advanced
cancers that are beyond surgi
cal intervention. Dr. E. V.
Cowdry of the Wernse Can
cer Research Laboratory at
Washington University School
of Medicine, St. Louis, told
science writers here.
False Impression
Favorable reports of
achievements in cancer re
search can give a false impres
sion, leaving people with the
attitude that they need not
watch for signs of cancer in
themselves because the "cure"
for cancer is bound to be
found soon. Lr. Crowdry said
he thought medical science
will never be capable of pre
venting all cancers.
He believes the principal
barrier to cancer control is
lack of knowledge of cancer
cella themselves. Another bar
rier Is. the attitude of people.
which is very important. For
one thing, people should be
aware of cancer-causing sub
stances and be willing to

Weather Control
Factors Should be
Known in Decade
Washington (Science Serv
ice) U. S. scientists should
know within the next ten
years the extent to which
such weather factors as light
ning, hail and rain can be
modified or controlled, a dis
tinguished meteorologist believes.
Dr. Sverre Petterssen of the
University of Chicago advised
the House Committee on Sci
ence and Astronautics that in
formation from solar and
earth satellites should provide
a picture of the energy Input
and output of the earth s at
mosphere by 1970. Coordinat
ed with a global system of at
mospheric observations, this
avoid them. This requires con- information will provide the
stant vigilance through many ODservauons or now tne
years, he said.
Vary Different
Obviously, cancer control Is
very different from the con
trol of infectious diseases that
can, in so many cases, be ob
tained from a single dose of
vaccine.
Dr. Cowdry said he believes
a big step forward in the con
trol of cancer will come when
the lives of Individual body
cella are better understood.
He urged that work be done
on individual cancer cells.
The concept that each cancer
is a population of cells in var
ious stages of birth, maturity,
old age and death must be
studied, he said.
Important To Laarn
Since virtually nothing is
known about the "vital statis
tics" of cancer cells, Dr. Cow
dry said. It is important to
learn which cluster of cells
in a cancer grows more di
versified with the time in
which the cancer has been
established and during which
period of life the cluster is
progressing.
At present, medical scien
tists can recognize cancers
earlier and treat them some
what better than formerly, he
reported. However, the fact
remains that an estimated
265,000 Americans will die
from cancer this year. Ap
proximately 85.000 of these
will die because they will not
get treatment early enough.
A total of 770.000 will be un
der medical care for cancer
during 1960.
Industry Drive

Portland -OiPD- One of the
most competitive activities in
this country today is the drive

the Portland Chamber of
Commerce has been told.
Gerald Frank of Salem,

advisory committee on plan
ning and development, spoke
to Chamber members of the
recent Industrial tour of the
East by Gov. Mark Hatfield

Frank said one measure of

atmosphere works as a great,

Optimistic About Cells
Martin Goland, a scientist
at the Southwest Research In
stitute in San Antonio, Tex.,
was also optimistic about the
future of fuel cells efficient
battery-like devices now be
ing developed that convert
chemicals to electricity.
He said small cell units in
homes and industry could pro
vide cheap, reliable electricity
without extensive wiring to a
single power plant. The cells
he said, would have more im
mediate usefulness as compact
power sources inside space
craft and submarines
Much of the $1,500,000 now
being spent on research on
fuel cells is spent by private
business, Mr. Goland said. He
suggested a central research
organization could coordinate
the work and promote freer
exchanges of information.
Does Portion of Job
The discoverer of radiation
belts about the earth, Dr.
James A. Van Allen of the
State University of Iowa, told
the committee that the Nation
al Science Foundation's pilot
program to provide university
facilities for the physical sci
ences does only one per cent
of the Job."
He asked for aid to the phy
sical sciences on a larger scale
similar to the National Insti
tutes' s grants In medical areas.
And he criticized the U.S. pol
icy of short-term grants for re
search projects.

Scandinavian countries, and
has proved successful.
