"In the first place," Boddy said, "Washington's business climate is such that we don't need to make tax concessions. And in the second place, in dustry has never asked us to make such concessions to my knowledge." Said Covering Up Boddy said Oregon was "covering up" for the state of its own business climate by "launching an attack on Wash ington," He said industrial leaders outside the stale had singled out Washington as having one of the best busi ness climates In the 11 west ern states.

Lauramay Noble, Reporter Successful Acne Treatment Has Been Developed Chicago (Science Service) An experiment with a new drug successful in treating the teen-age scourge of acne was reported at the American Academy of Dermatology and Syphilology meeting here. The antibiotic is Declomycin, ; trade name for 7-Chloro-6 d e m e t h y ltetracycline, Dr John H. Hicks of the Univer sity of Miami School of Med icine, Miami, Fla., reported. Of 30 patients receiving the drug, he said 83 per cent showed good to excellent re sponse. His experiment was in the form of a "doubleblind" study in which a placebo was given to 16, but neither the patient nor the physician knew what medication the pa tient was getting until the test was completed. Twelve of the patients de veloped a sunlight allergy from Declomycin, but by avoiding exposure to the sun they were able to continue medication. Another skin disease, pso riasis, was discussed by Dr. Recs B. Rees of the Univer sity of California's School of Medicine in San Francisco who said it may be a delayed physiologic birthmark. "An inborn predisposition he said, "persists even after the scaly areas are brought completely or partially under control." The drugs aminopterin and methotrexate slow down the cell reproduction when the outer layers of the skin race out of control, he said, but these drugs are subject to rigid Federal Food and Drug administration control and must be given directly to the patient by the doctor. Pharmacist Studies 'Disintegrating1 Agent of Tablets Carvallis - The "disinte grating agents" that make tablets fall apart and let the medicine go to work are un der study by a"h Oregon State college pharmacist, and pow dered wood flour is being tried as a tablet substance with some promise, The basic research project of Dr. Ben F. Cooper is de signed to provide new infor mation on the "mechanism" 4-H NEWS Antelope Livestock Club The Antelope Livestock 4-H club held their monthly meet ing Dec. 8 at the Antelope school house.

Diane Barton, Reporter The use of new scientific feeding methods for beef and hogs will be greatly accelerat ed this year. of tablet disintegration. Such information might be val uable in tablet advances of the future. Starch has been the tradi tional disintegrating agent for tablets for about 100 years, Cooper pointed out. It cannot be used in some cases, how ever, because it may not be compatible with the drug in the tablet. It is in such cases that powdered wood flour may have potential for use in tab let manufacture, he believes. The wood products absorb moisture well-one of the es sentials for a disintegrating agent-and appear to equal other agents in most respects. Another Substance It is entirely possible too, he adds, that some substance better than starch may be found some day although it has stood the "test of time" wonderfully well. It provid ed the breakthrough in tablet manufacture, Cooper noted. The study also will include I evaluation of wood products as tablet "binder" substances that hold the tablet together, and "lubricants" that permit the tablet to be compressed in manufacture without stick ing. Tablets are the most fre quently prescribed dosage form because of ease of ad ministration, economy of manufacture, stability, ap pearance, and accuracy of dosage, Cooper noted. Time of tablet disintegration can be adjusted now to take place over a period of several hours and at different places in the body-stomach, intestines, etc. Cooper's research is sup ported by grants from the OSC graduate school and from Stanley Drug Products, Portland.
