c MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 1. I960 'Arigels1 Needed To Finance Kennedy, Nixon Campaigns By Michael Kraft United Press International . Washington -IUPD- A monu mental problem confronts two men here. Both must find 'angels", to finance the presi dential campaigns of Sen. John F. Kennedy, Democrat, and Richard M. Nixon, Re publican. In the Democratic corner Is Matthew H. McCloskey, party treasurer. In the GOP corner Is John "Cliff" Foleer. chair man of the Republican financji committee The two men aree) on (jit Polio Vaccine By Month Ready For Use in t96t Washington (Science Serv ice Live polio virus Vaccine will be available for mass in oculations in 1661. Now that the U.S. Public Health service has recommended that the vaccina of Dr. Albert B. Sabln of the University of Cincin nati be made by potential manufacturers, there will be two polio protection methods in use next year. The Salk vaccine adminis tered by injection has been widely used for several years, while the Sabln method, a vac cine taken by mouth, has so far had mass tests in two U.S. cities. ' Legal regulations on live polio virus will not be com pleted before Nov. 1, but the manufacturers working with technical details will be able to get under way now. Dr. Roderick Murray, chairman of the PHS com mittee, explains that the Sa bld Type I and Type II strains possess the most fa vorable laboratory and field characteristics, and his com mittee has r e c o m mended their use. All Are Safe Sabln Type III strain Is also recommended although con tinued search for a superior Type III strain Is urged. All the live polio virus vaccines so far used In this country are safe for humans, but all "candidate strains" except those of Sabin, ' which have been extenslvelyTBtudlcd, are of "greater neurovlrulence for monkeys." Any vaccine that paralyzes monkeys is consid ered potentially dangerous for man. . Dr. Murrey called attention to the great contributions of Dr. Herald Rca Cox of Led erle laboratories, and of Dr. Hillary Koprowski of Wistar Institute, Philadelphia, for merly with Lederle. Originally it was hoped that one oral dose of the live vac Cine would be all' that was necessary for permanent im munization against polio. Wow it is planned to give three or four oral doses, possibly a different strain for the first three doses, and a combined or "trivalent" dose as the fi nal one Cost is estimated to be cheaper than the Salk vac cine. Mass inoculations are rec ommended, but the details are ' to be worked out with state health departments and local communities. The Salk killed vaccine re quires three and proferably four injections. Scientists Note Atomic Particles Rochester, N.Y. - (Science Service) - In the mixed-up world of atomic nuclei, which are the "hearts" of matter and the building blocks of the uni verse, scientists now recog nize some 30 nnrtlrlrj. . The actions and reactions of these nuclear particles, iome of which have lifetimes measured in billionth! nf second, will be probed by ap proximately 330 physicists wno started a nine-day meet ing at the University of Rochester here Aug. 28. . Some progress has been made in recent years: but set enlists still are imnhlo In count for the properties of many of the 30 particles and anti particles, fitting their masses, lifetimes, methods of dcPjy and strenrjths of Inter actions into a comprehensive icncme. ; The particles are studied by analyzing the debris from bombardment with other par tides In giant accelerator nr from cosmic rays. Some of me most important work, however, is done with pencil and pnper and human brainy with the aim of eventual un derstanding of the constitu tion of atomic nuclei. Among the delegates to the 10U; annual International Con ference on High Energy phys ics arc eight Nobel prize win ners and 30 leading Russian physicists. The first official reports on several of the high energy ptirticle accelerator that have recently gone Into eperalion will be presented at tha meeting, . . , . . least one thing - both parties need more money than ever before. And they expect the cost of campaigning to rise rapidly when the current "stump" session of congress ends and cmembers hit the campaign trail along with the presidential aspirants. Both Kennedy and Nixon want to display their political wares in all the 50 states. This costs money, and the bills may mount Into the millions before they and the congressional candidates rest their cases with the jurors - the voters -on Nov. 8. Lavish Production In contrast to old-fashioned torchlight parade days, mod ern day campaigning is a lav ish production. It includes television, radio, literature, travel expenses and a host of other items that must be paid for if a candidate is to get his Idflas over to the populace. McCloskey and P o 1 g e r agree that TV will play a larger part in this year's cam paign. This will cost high into the tBoustmds, And this would be in Addition to a million dol lars Worth of free time offered by some of the networks for a series of televised debates between Kennedy and Nixon. "It will be the toughest, most expensive campaign to date," Folger said in an Inter view. McCloskey said the Demo cratic treasury was starting from fcratch and "we re in viting all citizens to participate." Where will they find1 the money? 'Glve-A-Dollar' The Democrats flre setting up a buslneasmen-for-Kennedy organization on a national basis and are pushing a "glve-a-dollar" drive among all citizens. McCloskey said the Democrats hope to raise "5 or 6 million dollars on the na tional level." ., Folger said the Republicans have a little left in the kitty on the national level but he declined to set any collection goal. So-called big business men are among the largest contributors to Republican causes. But the Republicans also are pressing a give-a-dol-lar drive. The corrupt practices act prohibits any one group from spending more than $3 mil lion but there is no law against volunteer organiza tions raising money to help carry the financial burden. Hence, both parties try for strong organizations at the local, county and state levels, In the 1D56 campaign the Republican National commit tee reported Cio the clerk of the house that it had raised $2, 056,058. The Democratic National committee reported $2,272,139. During that campaign, a Senate subcommittee on privileges and elections re ceived reports showing that on the national, state and local levels, the Republicans raised about $32 million, the Demo crats $12.9 million, labor unions $2.6 million, and other groups about $677,140. Foleer Optimistic Folger is. optimistic about Republican fund-raising, "Americans are generous to a good cause," he said. The Democrats also are planning fund-raising dinners, but McCloskey said the tech nique of simultaneous dinners across the country with closed circuit TV probably won't be used. e "It's more effective when you have the man in the White House," he said. Both chairmen also plan to use direct mail appeals to selected lists. They also hope success of the current cam paign by the American herit age foundation and the ad vertising council which urge: "Don't pass the buck, give your bucks to the party of your choice." McCloskey added that "I hope people remember the word bucks is plural." o ?m Af 'fl5fe Mil Three Named To Conduct Campaign in Support of Bi board Control measure FATAL CRASH A pile of twisted metal was all that remained of an auto in which Alzo E.

(UPI Telephoto) Foundation Tells Development Costs Washington, (Science Serv- icc)-About a billion dollars was spent in the United States on scientific research and de velopment during he 1959 1960 fiscal year, the National Science foundation here esti mates. The estimate is based on a statistical evaluation of the money spent for basic re search In the United States during the period from 1953 through 1958, reported for the first time. This statistical series shows that, through out the period, the funds spent for basic research were about 8 per cent of the total expended for all research and development. The total spent for basic research increased from $430 million in 1953 to more than $830 .million in 1957-58.0 The survey was made to provide a factual background for the formation of U.S. scientific policy, a primary responsibility of the National Science foundation.. Detailed and summary survey informa tion are now available on major aspects of research and development in various types of organizations throughout the economy, the Foundation reported. These organizations are grouped into colleges and uni versities, other non-profit in stitutions, industry, and the federal government.

Hospital Group Approves System San Francisco - IUPD - The American Hospital association has approved a system for pre scribing drugs by their for mula rather than by brand nemes. A spokesman for the AHA Wednesday explained that the system would eliminate con fusion and effect economies through the mass purchase of drugs. Cited as an example of con fusion was the antibiotic te tracycline, which is also avail able under the names of Stec lin, Panmycin, Achromycin and Tetracyn. Under the new system, the drug would be ordered as tetracycline only. n,iinrf Rudle Wllhelm Jr., chairman of the Highway Protection committee, toady (hrpB Pnrtianders to conduct his group's state-wide campaign for passage oi diu board control measures No. 15 on the Nov. 8 ballot.
