Kennedy Hears Health Report From Specialists Washington - IUPB - Some of the top U.S. specialists on can. cer and heart disease told President Kennedy today that the nation must step up its attack on both ailments or face further increases in their huge toll of death and dis ability. The President's Conference on Heart Disease and Cancer. composed of zz leading ex perts, said the two maladies are the combined cause of two out of every three Ameri can deaths today. Yet, they said, the nation has hardly begun its scientific fight against them. Part of the concern about cancer, they said in a report to the President, stems from "en vironmental hazards ,' includ ing radiation and cancer-pro ducing substances which "can be isolated from air and from water pollutants to which large populations are- ex posed." "Tobacco smoke is an In- dividual form of such pollu tion, and a particular cancer hazard," the report said. Month's Work ,i The report, phrased In non technical language, was pre pared after a month of draft ing, trading and re-working individual views. The confer ence was headed by Boisfeuil- let Jones, special assistant to the secretary of health, educa tion and welfare. Its members included Dr, S. Ravdln, prominent cancer surgeon from the University of Pennsylvania, and Dr. Paul Dudley White, famed heart specialist from Boston who treated former President Dwlght D. Eisenhower 'after s 1959 coronary attack. The report,' presented ' to Kennedy at the White House, called for "a much ' higher level of federal appropriations in support of medical re search" on the two diseases. It also urged big boosts in volun tary contributions. The specialists strongly en dorsed the President's recom mendation for federal scholar ships for talented but needy medical students.. Its major proposals, centered upon a need for expanded research, Urge Medical File But they also suggested es tablishment of "a centralized electronic file" of individual medical histories, so- that a physician getting a new pa tient would have ready refer ence to the person's life-time medical record Such a file, the report said. could "prevent unnecessary duplication of therapy, exces sive accumulation of radiation exposure, needless expense, great waste of time, and would facilitate better use of diag nostic and treatment data." These records could be held in strictest confidence to be made immediately avail able to the physician on the patient's authorization," the report said. "As an immedi ate, preliminary step, the system of local and state can cer registries should, be. ex panded greatly." Durno Introduces Shorelands Bill Washington - IUPD - Rep. Edwin R. Durno (R-Ore.) Thursday Introduced a bill to establish a 31,000-acre Oregon Dunes National Shorelands to be administered by the U. S. Forest Service. Legislation to establish a 35,000 acre Oregon Dunes Na tional Seashore to be admin istered by the National Park service was introduced earlier In the Senate by Sen. Maurine Neuberger (D-6re.). Durno criticized proDosals for the national seashore on grounds that It would require the purchase of private lands outside the area he has Dro- posed. Under Durno's bill, the area would be administered for recreation, scenic and sci entific use, but other uses -including logging - could be permitted by the Department of Agriculture. AIRLINER SEIZED Hamilton, Bermuda - (DPI) - U. S.

J u A t t 4 CUBANS DEMONSTRATE A crowd of more than 10,000 Cubans demonstrated in front of a Miami hotel to ask Dr. Jose Morra, secretary of the Organization of American Eichmanh Trial Hears Offer To Exchange Guilt Jerusalem . (UPD Adolf Elch- mann told the world today he would 'admit his guilt as a war criminal if the victors of World War II admitted their guilt also and agreed to stand trial for war crimes. , "As long as there are two standards ' of measurement, then I do not consider myself guilty, but on the contrary- not guilty, because I acted ex clusively on orders I had re ceived, just like they did," he declared. , . . From Tape Recorder The words and voice rasp ing through the quiet Jerusal em courtroom were those of the man charged With mass murder of six million Jews. But they came from a tape recorder playing back' part of the 400,000-word deposition Elchmann made to Israeli po lice after his capture in Buenos Aires last year. The .Israeli state prosecu tion this morning completed playing sections of Elch mann's deposition, while he sat without sign of emotion ln his glass box dock listening to his own voice. The trial then recessed until Monday. 4 H ' .V' aaaXi v , It '(Jti" - ri f I ai;,M.a aai.jaii1.WaiifeJg.aa. at ,i lfa.i FORMER FOES MEET Former Vice President Richard M.

Most witnesses endorsed a House- passed bill aimed at keeping for home manufacture a few of the several hundred mil lion feet' of raw logs exported from the West Coast for low cost processing -in Japan. . The measure would affect logs from state and county lands, excluding federal and private, tracts which account for most timber.. Rep. W. O.

(UPI Telephoto) Page 2A Tribune FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1961 port bans In Alaska will be sought. '-. ; ; v - Support for the bill came on the heels of an opinion by Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thorn ton' that the measure would usurp the exclusive right 'of Congress to regulate foreign commerce. ; ' Rep. Clarence Barton (D- Coquille) denied this., He quoted legal authorities as saying the state may "con serve for the use of its peo- ple"resources that are "owned by. the state In .trust for its people. Barton described logs as a "rapidly diminishing resource . . . that we are going to need" to feed plants ' and keep the labor force working. , A Coos Bay lumberman, Kenneth Lewis, said "direct competition with foreign ex porters for the raw materials we need" has left firms like his own "fighting for our economic lives." Other Highlights ' Pollution: The House passed unanimously a senate -ap proved bill giving the State Sanitary Authority broad powers in preventing air con tamination. The bin is a com panion to a water pollution control bill passed earlier. It goes back to the Senate for concurrence in an amendment tightening up a section ex empting urban renewal and highway projects from any control. ' Speed! The Senate High ways Committee approved a bill setting highway speed limits of 70 miles for cars, 60 for buses and 55 for trucks. The car speed limit had been cut earlier but was restored. Wiretap: The House Judic iary Committee approved a bill permitting authorities to use recording devices to inves tigate narcotics cases. Billboard Advertising Measures Approved Salem (UPD Two measures to control billboard advertis ing along federal and state highways were approved Thursday by the House High ways Committee.

Main Phone SP 3-6658 - a 4 Former MacLaren School Employee Salem - IUPB - The State Civil Service Commission late Thursday rejected the appeal of an employee at MacLaren School for Boys who claimed he was improperly fired after slapping an inmate for swear ing at him. After a hearing the commis sion said it found that the dis missal was ,"made in good faith and for cause." . The appeal -had been filed by Maurice Hammer, 40, a MacLaren supervisor who was fired by Supt. Amos Reed March "13, the day after the alleged incident. Hammer was charged on the same day as oi me dismissal with assault ing Reed but Hammer was found innocent of the. charge in wooaourn justice Court The commission said "there was a conflict of testimony" as to whether Hammer was given written notice of dis missal March 13. The decision said that proper written no tice was delivered to Ham mer, was filed with the civil service director, and that the "manner of dismissal and fil ing of appeal were adequate under rules of the commis sion." : i The. other major point brought out at the hearing was whether MacLaren policy allowed physical punishment of inmates for verbal abuse of staff members.

Central at 10th U.S. Gains Backing In Latin America By United Press International Most of Latin America ap peared today to be lining up with the United States and the Cuban anti-Communists against ; Premier Fidel Cas tro's revolutionary regime. Newspapers in Colombia, the only Latin American na tion that joined the fight against Communism in Korea, suggested that Castro's use of Russian-made arms against his foes amounted to a form of "Muscovite imperialist" ag gression against the Western Hemisphere. Reaction Favorable Although few officials were willing to comment publicly, the reaction to President Ken nedy's firm stand against So viet intrusion in the affairs of the new world appeared generally favorable.; . Ecuador, one of the three countries Castro had expect ed to side with him against any form of collective action by the Organization of Ameri can States, appeared today to be turning against him..
