SECTION D PAGES 1 to 4 MEDFORDt Tribune MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 25. 1960 Eisenhower Hopes To Achieve Goal Washington (Science Serv ice) - President Eisenhower has little hope of achieving an East-West agreement on nuclear test suspension dur ing his administration; but to get such an agreement still remains one of his cherished goals. The President's pessimistic appraisal of chances for a pact with Moscow on nuclear tests was given in response to a science service question at his news conference. Pointing to the history of nearly two years of unsuc cessful negotiations at Gene va, the President bluntly ad mitted the prospect for suc cess now "doesn't seem too good." "Nothing," he said, "would gratify me more than to achieve between the East and West some agreement that would bring a bit more of peace of mind to all our peo ple." Stresses Need He stressed the need for ef fective policing ('on both tides" to be part of such a pact. The question of inspection requirements has been one of the major stumbling blocks in I negotiations between East and ' West on this subject. I On the subject of further studies before enacting legis lation for the medical health and care for the aged, Presi dent Eisenhower said that a great deal of study and con sultation on the subject al ready has been completed and this group of people "need help now." He favors the administra tion proposals for help for the aged even if it should be more expensive than the Democratic-sponsored "pay-as-you-go" bill because he is "against compulsory medicine." Issued Statement President Eisenhower also issued a statement on recent U. S. space conquests, saying thatthey demonstrated "be yond all doubt the vigor, ca pabilities and leadership of the U. S. . . . in exploration and utilization of space." "The United States," he said, "leads the world in the activities in the space field that promise real benefit to mankind." Canadians Find Muscle Changes Ottawa, Canada, - (Science Service) - As a man grows older, his heart muscle under goes more change, of a cer tain chemical nature, than other major tissues in the body, two Canadian research ers have reported here. Drs. Kanaka Mori and Jean Paul Duruisseau of the Uni versity of Montreal have measured the concentrations of sodium, potassium, phos phorous, calcium, magnesium and chloride ions present in the body tissues of rats 1-36 months old. They round that older heart muscle not only showed a decrease in all ex cept phosphate ion, but also confirmed the loss of cardiac tissue water previously re ported. This means that the concentration drop was not due to dilution with water. "These changes in the wa ter and electrolytes (the ions) of cardiac muscle with age may be important to the un derstanding of various geron tological problems," the doc tors state. Liver Is Second The tissue showing the sec ond greatest degree of change was the liver, where all the positively charged ions except calcium decreased as the ani mal grew older. Age brought about a "strik ing decrease" in magnesium concentration of the aorta, where calcium showed a grad ual increase. The brain, by contrast, showed no change, and only chloride increased in the ser um of older animals. There was also little change in skel etal muscle, the type found on the arms and legs. Only potassium and calcium de creased with age. The doctors state that the decrease in potassium and magnesium in aged heart muscle and liver "might be connected with a general re duction in cellular functions of these tissues." 'Remarkable Decrease' Other workers, the research ers note in the Canadian Journal of Biochemistry and Physiology, have found a "remarkable decrease" in metabolic rale in the aged heart in rats. The doctors are now work ing at the Institute de Geron tologie, Hospital Notre-Dame de la Merci, Montreal. News Satellite Speeds Stories Washington, (Science Serv Ice)-The "news satellite," Courier, launched recently is designed to demonstrate the way a satellite could speed news and other communica tions around the world. News stories by many American newspapermen beamed to the satellite' can be immediately rebroadcast to the ground or taped and broadcast to the ground later. The broadcasting and re ceiving stations equipped to work with Courier are at Ft. Monmouth, N.J., and the U.S. Army Caribbean Signal Ag ency's Space Communication center near Ponce, Puerto Rico. The news stories will go Clothing Burglar . Loses Own Coat Atlanta - A burglar left with less than he started with when he tried to rob a down town hotel room. Police said Mrs. J. D. Bul lock of Columbia, S.C., fright ened the burglar away when she entered her seventh floor room. Instead of carting off the Bullocks' clothing as he in tended to do, police reported, the thief left his own coat be hind while making a hasty exit through a window to a nearby building. Apparently he removed his . coat before trying to squeeze under the screen on the win dow after climbing a fire es- : cape. ' Police Offer Hints For Safe Crackers Santa Monica, Calif. - Don aid V. Crackers, 21, told po lice who booked him for safe cracking that he had received expert instruction. . Crackers told officers he used a phony press pass to get Into a police meeting where veteran locksmiths were de tailing the fine points of open ing safes and locked doors,. "Those boys sure know their stuff and explain it well," he said. over ground teletype equip ment faster than at most newspapers. This special equipment will handle the approximately 68,000 words Courier can receive and trans mit over its 20 teletype chan nels in a minute. The teletypes in a news paper office handle about 60 words a minute. In a five minute pass over a station, Courier could send and re ceive about 340,000 words about half the number of words in the Bible. Voice Channels The 500-pound satellite al so has four voice channels. For each one in use, how ever, four teletype channels must be silenced. The sphere, powered by 19,200 solar cells, is impor tant militarily because scien tists predict it will be harder to disturb than other com munications systems, such as underwater cables. It broad casts over secret frequencies in the ultra-high range, never before used in satellite com munication. The width of the frequency band is very narrow, much too narrow for television, for example. The 51-inch-diameter sphere was put into orbit by an Air Force Thor-Able-Star. This was the third time the Air Force had used this com bination of rockets. Warnings Unheeded; Guards Take-Over Port Chester, N.Y.-OT-If the nurses can't enforce visit ing hour rules perhaps Pink erton guards can. ' Such is the view of the United hospital, which dis closed it has hired uniformed Pinkerton men to prevent more than two visitors in a room at a time. "We have found as many as nine people at a time vis iting a patient," said a hos pital official. Nurses warnings were go ing unheeded, he said, and "th recovery of the patients has been endangered." 1 f 1 1 " Jy ttjfi fyW4 W I .99 OPEN MONDAY AND FRIDAY 'TIL 9:00 P.M.
