Autos and steels were in demand followed by oils and electronics. International Business Ma chines picked up around 3 in its department where Texas Instruments rose nearly 2 and Transitron more than 1. Chrysler stood out in the autos with a gain of more than 1 while GM, American Motors and Ford all added around a half or more. Republic, Youngstown Sheet and Bethlehem all tacked on fractions in the steels where U. S. Steel eased. Superior of California, a high priced issue, spurted 20. Cancer Sometimes Follows Wounds Milwaukee, Wis. (Science Service) - Single industrial injuries have been followed by skin cancer in 25 cases in Milwaukee since 1942, Dr. Christopher Dix, a physician here, reports. Dr. Dix said the industrial accident cases had proved wrong a long held medical belief that a single injury does not result in cancer. Most of the patients were ma chinists or welders, he said, and had been struck by hot welding sparks, hot metal chips or acids. The wounds were treated immediately, but did not heal and cancers then formed. However, when such can cers were properly treated surgically, the chance for complete recovery was very favorable, Dr. Dix said. He noted that the legal im plications in such cases were important, because insurance companies might question their liability in industrial cancer cases.

Scientist Lists Best Frequencies Washington (Science Serv ice) - The best frequencies to use for communications between earth and space ve hicles are between 70 and 6,000 megacycles, a scientist of the National Bureau of Standards has caluculatcd George W. Haydon of the Central Radio Propagation Laboratory, Boulder, Colo. based his selection of possible frequencies on the properties of the earth's atmosphere and other technical factors alloc- ing radio communications. His results are reported in the current Journal of Research a publication of the National Bureau of Standards here. The frequency on which many U.S. satellites are track ed and information relayed earthward is 108 megacycles. With the 70- to 6,000-mcga- cycle band, Dr. Haydon ported, the best frequency to use will depend upon the specific communication serv ice required. The frequency selected will be a compromise between the largest practical size for the antenna, the beam-width needed to the satellite, and the ground radio noise. track back- Rodanthe, N.

Devoted Husband Forgot One Detail Duluth, Minn. - A Duluth man remembered his wedding anniversary, but he forgot an important detail. The post office says it will return to the husband who can make proper identifica tion an unaddresscd envelope he dropped into the mail. The envelope contained a $20 bill, a fourth wedding an niversary card and this note: "To my darling wife who deserves more, which, unfor tunately, I ain't got." esti- Device Transmits Information From 100,000 Feet High Brunswick, Ga. The largest scientific balloon ever launched by the Free World floated across the southern United States today, its pay load of emulsion plates pick ing up data on cosmic rays. The 40-story tall balloon, launched Sunday as part of the Operation Skyhook series at Glynco Naval Air Station, was reported 75 miles north west of Pensacola, Fla., at 6 a.m. (p.s.t) floating at an alti tude of more than 20 miles. Traveling at 25 MPH Lt. William Stierman of the Office of Naval Research in Montgomery, Ala., said the balloon was heading west at a speed of more than 25 miles. He said it probably would land in Texas instead of Cali fornia following a direction change. If the payload is recovered according to plan, it will be distributed to scientists of 13 nations for analysis and eval uation of the high energy cos mic ray particles which pose a serious problem for manned space flight. The balloon took off at 7:55 a.m. and headed upward at 1,000 feet a minute. By nightfall it was up to 112.000 feet and had moved westward about 100 miles from the launch site. Lt. Cmrlr. William Arnold termed the launching a suc cess, even though radio con tact was partially lost short ly after the balloon left the ground. He said the balloon, by nightfall, had already transmitted more than 10 hours of information from an altitude of more than 100,000 feet. "Anything we get be yond . this point is really gravy," he added. Tibet's population is mated at three million. He Wanted Money, But No Publicity Phoenix, Ariz. - A man asked police to help him find a paper sack containing $500 which he lost while riding a bus in downtown Phoenix. But the man refused to al low his name to be published. He explained: "I've been six years saving that money. My wife doesn't know about it. If she knew, she d make me put it in our joint bank account." Pickets Halt Work at Major Space-Age Bases Across Nation San Diego - (UPD - Picket lines were posted at U.S. Atlas missile bases today, Including the major Air Force facilities at Cape Canaveral and Van denburg, when a strike was called over a wage dispute. A spokesman for the Inter national Association of Ma chinists said two-thirds of the 000 Convair employees a t Vandenburg left their jobs and picket lines were posted at the installation's gates. The spokesman said the Convair installation at War ren Air Force Base, Wyo., Offut Air Force Base, Neb., and Cape Canaveral, Fla., also were being picketed by strik ing employees. Pickets at Gales A Convair official at Van denberg said a count was be ing made to determine the exact number of employees out on strike. He said from 6 to 10 pickets were posted at two gates of the base. Widespread labor unrest was general throughout the space-age industry across the country. An Air Force spokesman said the strike of technicians and maintenance men would not affect the retaliatory ca pability of the three Atlases standing at war-readiness at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., the nation's only oper ational intercontinental ballis tic missile base. Atlai Construction Stops However, the strike will halt construction of Atlas pads and facilities at Vandenberg; Cape Canaveral, Fla.; Offut Ceremonies Mark D-Day Landings Bayeux, Franch-IDPII-French Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville praised Germany as a friend today on the battleground where the Allies began liberating Europe from the Nazis. Couve de Murville spoke at ceremonies marking the 16th anniversary of the allied landings on the Normandy beaches near the town of Bayeux. He laid a wreath at a monument to D-Day and lighted the "flame of the liberation" when the ceremonies began Sunday night before townspeople and farmers gathered from all over the beachhead area. In a speech this morning, Couve de Murville said France today enjoys relations with West Germany "which the French could not have imagined when in 1944 they fought, here and in other parts of France, for the liberation of the motherland." Paying tribute to the Allied troops killed in the invasion of Europe, Couve de Murville said, "Let the memory of their sacrifice remain for all of us the example and lesson we require in facing together the duties and dangers which await us tomorrow." Mood Changed as Ike Prepares for Trip Tokyo - IUP1I - A few short weeks ago East Asia was bub bling happily at the prospect of a visit from President Eisenhower. Now the mood has changed grimly. At best the U.S. President can now expect mixed reac tion to his trip. ' '.

(UPI Telephoto) Dr. Leo J. van Dijk announces the opening of The LITHIA PARK VETERINARY CLINIC 88 No. Main Street Ashland, Oregon MU 5-0541 Van Cliburn Gets Rousinc Hand in Moscow Concert Moscow - 'ITU Muscovites i showed with tears, bravos. and flowers Sunday night that j pianist Van Cliburn is one ! American production they still approve. The curly - haired Texan's second concert nl Tschaikov sky Conservatory drew a packed hall of mainly en tluisiastic bohbysoxers, as did his first Moscow concert in two years Friday night. Spectators jammed the bal cony and stood along the walls lo hear the pianist they "discovered'' when he won the Tschaij-kovsky Interna tional Concert here In 11158. The American's rendition of Chopin's 'Funeral March" had several young lUissian girls in tears. Many young i sters. as adoring of Cliburn as 1 some young Americans are of ( Elvis Presicy, rushed down the aisles at the concert's end to hand armfuls of lilacs and tulips to the tall, smiling pianist. Other music lovers pelted Cliburn with sprigs of lilies of the valley as he stood bow ing and clasping his hands to his chest in gratitude for the reception. The concert was televised, presumably reaching more than one million viewers in the Moscow area. The pianist will now tour the Soviet Union, returning to Moscow in three weeks for a farewell concert. When the tour first was planned It looked like a fine idea. Eisenhower would go to the summit, and play the role of peacemaker, then fly to Russia, further easing world tensions, and then come to the Orient. Francis G. Powers' bad luck with his U2 and the sub sequent collapse of the sum mit changed the picture. The Kremlin flashed the word to its agents around the world to start getting tough. Communist smiles turned to frowns ,id angry words. Red China took up the cue and started putting pressure on Japan, Indochina and For mosa. Within Japan the Com munists and their allies start ed whipping up a massive campaign to turn the country against pro-western Premier Nobusuke Kishi. There are so many poten tial pitfalls in Eisenhower's visit at this time that manv solid friends of the United States wish there were some way it could be canceled, or at least postponed, but there seems no way to do it. Trie President will visit the Philippines, Formosa, Oki nawa, Japan and Korea in a tour that begins in Manila June 14. Only in the gay land of the fiesta, the Philippines, can the President look forward to an almost trouble-free visit. And even there he may hear some of the rumblings about the new "Filipino first" policy. DELTA AREA The Mississippi delta area is about 12,300 square miles. AFB, and Warren AFB. And it might impede the schedule of test and research shots of Atlases, an Air Force spokes man said. Joining the 3,000 members of the International Associa tion of Machinists were 25,000 workers at two Convair plants here and In Pomona, Calif. The plant workers, however, planned to remain off the job for only one day to be in formed by union leaders of the work contract dispute. A spokesman for the ma chinists said he doubted that any of the 3,000 workers at Warren AFB would cross the 24-hour line set up by the 500 striking machinists. He said he doubted that picket lines would be crossed at the other affected areas. Nogotiationi Fruitless The strike was called at midnight (local time) after Convair and union represen tatives fruitlessly negotiated for two hours Sunday. Further talks were expected to be held Tuesday. Picket lines were establish ed at the bases when the mid night deadline arrived. Industry observers said they Deneved there was a good chance the government would intervene under provisions of the Taft-Hartley Act if the strike was prolonged. Key issue at dispute between the IAM and Convair were wages and a cost - of - living Blue Dye Used In Detection of Amyloidosis London - (Science Service) - A Danish doctor has found a new way to detect amyloi dosis, a condition that often precedes or accompanies di seases such as tuberculosis, osteomyelitis, lung abscess or gumma tous syphilis. His technique uses blue dye rath er than the presently used red dye. In amyloidosis an abnorm al protein complex with starchlike characteristics, call ed amyloid, accumulates in various body tissues. The usual method for detecting this condition is to inject Congo red dye into the blood stream. If the dye is cleared from the blood faster than normal, the patient is general ly believed to have amyloido sis. The point that doctors do not agree on is just how fast and how much of the red dye must be removed from the blood, Dr. Stig Jarnum of Bis pebjerg Hospial, Copenhagen, believes. Quite by accident Dr. Jar num found that Evans blue dye, which Is routinely used for blood plasma-volume de termination, is removed at an abnormally high rate'from the blood of amyloidosis patients. The Evans blue diagnostic method may turn out to be more specific than the Congo red test, Dr. Jarnum reports in The Lancet here. The reason, he said, is that rapid removal of Evans blue can only be due to an abnormal non-circulating protein (amy loid) that can catch and hold the dye. This diagnostic technique may be even better when used in conjunction with radio active tracers. And it is par ticularly valuable when the patient U allergic to the Con go red dye. clause for a new work con-. increase and a cost-of-living tract.
