Boston -il'Pli- An injection
of fluid to change the chemi
cal makeup of a child could
be the key to the cure and pre
vention of some mental and
physical abnormalities, ac
cording to a widely known
neurochemist.
"We seek to take this lost
material-the mentally defi
cient and abnormal-out of so
ciety's wastebasket and to
make them useful," Dr. L.
Lahunt Uzman said as he was
named to head a new depart
ment of neurology at the Chil
dren's Hospital medical cen
ter. Uzman, 38, a native of Is
tanbul, Turkey, also became
the first Bronson Crothers pro
fessor of neurology at Har
vard university. The chair
honors Dr. Bronson Crothers,
a leader In clinical teaching
and research involving neuro
logical disorders in children.
An injection or other "out
side interference" to change
the chemical constitution and
correct "nature's mistake"
must be made before a child
reaches chemical maturity,
usually when he is 4 or 5
years old, but sometimes as
much as 11 years old.
"During this God-given per
iod of grace we can interfere
to change any imbalance, pos
sibly cure an abnormality and
eliminate any further need of

ly luncheon meeting at the
Rogue Valley Country club.
Martin succeeds Dr. Ray
mond McNair, whose admin
istration during the past year
has seen the local Rotary club
expand in membership to ap
proximately 150 members.
Under McNair's leadership
the club has been active in
the American Field Service
program and established
active Rotary Foundation plan
to advance the club's scholar
ship work.
The new Medford Rotary
club president "has been a res
ident of Oregon since 1932,
when he moved to Douglass
county from Texas to engage
in the lumber business. A
veteran of World War I, Mar
tin has been active in the
wholesale lumber business in
this area for the past 18 years
Member of Organiiations
He is a member of the Ma
sonic lodge, Hillah Shrine
Temple, Medford Lodge 1168,
BPOE and active in civic
work in this community. He
is now chairman of the Sal
vation Army Advisory board
Speaking for the first time
as president of the Medford
Rotary club. Martin described
the convention of Rotary, In
ternational in Los Angeles

attended by 22.102 delegates
from 122 countries, Nitish C

ly his nine-day sessions at

of 269 Rotary district gover
nors from all parts of the
world gathered for schooling
in policies and procedures of
the world-wide organization.
An interesting highlight of
the Lake Placid meeting was

medical interference," he said
This "interference" could be
done even before the child is
born.
"We have in the past re
versed some diseases and ab
normalities and there is rea
son to believe further prog
ress can be made," he said.
Litt For Attack
Included on Uzman's list for
attack were cerebral palsy,
muscular dystrophy, paralytic
poliomyelitis, epilepsy, men
tal retardation, conge ntial
malformations, hereditary
brain and spinal cord disor
ders, and brain tumors.
A major difficulty in study
ing the brain is that it cannot
be cut open and then sewn
back up like other organs, he
said.
"Major irreversible harm is
done to the brain if it goes
without oxygen for even a
few seconds." he said.
Uzman estimated that of
the 4.5 million babies born
next year 25,000 will have
congenital neurological dis
eases, most of them incurable.
"The annual loss of man
power, not counting care,
treatment and other factors,
due to neurological diseases,
is greater than the combined
loss caused by the atomic
bombs at Hiroshima and Nag
asaki," Uzman said.
"A minor, subtle change in
molecules in childhood could
result in major grotesquencss
in adulthood, he said.
Uzman said he intended to
expand the new neurology de
partment at Children's Hos
pital by recruiting "the best
minds throughout the coun
try." The research and teach -ng
department was made poss-ible
through an anonymous $400,
000 donation to the hospital in
1960. This money plus an
other $100,000 was given to
Harvard university for crea
tion of the Crothers Chair.
Uzman's most important
work to date has been estab
lishing the cause of Wilson's
disease, a genetic ailment in
volving cirrhosis of the liver.
Thousands See Capital
Fireworks Display
Washington-OTII-An estimat
ed 135,000 persons jammed
onto the Washington Monu
ment grounds Wednesday
night to watch a gigantic July
4th fireworks display. Police
estimated another 52,000
watched from adjacent areas.
The crowd was orderly, the
display went off without a
dud. but a huge, two-hour
traffic jam developed when
187,000 people decided to go
home at the same time - after
the last aerial firecracker.
Enrollment Figures for
Summer Session at SOC
Show Healthy Fluctuation
Ashland - Enrollment fig
ures for the Southern Oregon
college Summer Session show
a healthy fluctuation, accord
ing to Mrs. Mabel W. Winston,
registrar.
Although the overall enroll
ment statistics indicate a de
cline of 2.3 per cent, a rever
sal of regular session trends,
SOC now has 676 students,
compared to 685 at this time
last year.
The decline Indicates a
strengthening of teacher pre
paration in the regional area,
she' said. This seems to be
pointed out by a comparison
of undergraduate and gradu
ate enrollments.
Undergraduate enrollment
is down slightly while gradu
ate registration has shown a
slight gain. One-hundred and
sixty eight graduate students
are enrolled with secondary
education registrants rising to
7.8 per cent over last year.
Secondary ed;ica'ion enroll
ments also show a stiffening
with science-math registrants
jumping 80 per cent over last
year.
New enrollments d
from high school are up over
180 per cent. A total of 64
new freshmen have reported
to SOC to begin their academ
ic work. This trend, if it con
tinues, seems encouraging,
Mrs. Winston said, for the per
centage of old students return
ing to the campus is up 39.5
per cent.
Two hundred and seventy
seven men students are en
rolled, being outnumbered by
the 399 women students on
campus.
Korean veterans taking ad
vantage of public law 550 has
dropped as expected, Mrs.
Winston said, and special stu
dent enrollment at the gradu
ate level is up 21.9 per cent.
Four workshops beginning
July 16 and another July 30
will change and increase the
enrollment figures before the
session ends, Mrs. Winston
noted.
