Washington State
Official Denies
Tax Concessions
Olympia -IUPD- A slate offi
cial has denied charges that
Washington was granting tax
concessions as a means to at
tract new industry.
Sam Buddy Jr., acting di
rector of the Department of
Commerce and Economic De
velopment, referred to a state
ment made by his Oregon
counterpart, Robert Tarr.
Tarr, director of Oregon's
Planning and Development
Department, claimed Monday
at a legislative meeting that
Washington was using "in
dustrial bribery" to compete
for new business.
"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.
In a press release, Boddy
did not make reference to
recommendations of the Legis
lative Council proposing legis
latlon and constitutional
amendments to grant tax de
ferrnls to prospective industry.
When questioned regarding
the proposals, Boddy said
they could In no way be con
strued as concessions but
merely deferrals to allow In
dustry to settle more easily.
"They would still have toj
pay their bills later on," he
said.

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.

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. Assisting on the
project is ' Norman Billups,
