The administration does not want another bruis ing, political fight. As a result, the administra tion this year will present legislative proposals to Con gress concerning cotton, dairy products, and feed grains. Will Contain Proposals President Kennedy may not even send a special farm mes sage to Congrss. But if he docs, the message will pin point what needs to be done and will contain administra tion proposals generally on how to do it. The specifics will be left to Congress. In this way, administration plan ners figure, there will be a better chance of attracting bi partisan support from the leg islators. To make the farm proposals more palatable to both par lies, the administration's plans call for voluntary instead of mandatory production con trols of milk and feed grains, and cotton legislation en dorsed by large segments of the industry. The timetable for the pro posed legislation is: Cotton -"Before planting time"; dairy - "The sooner the better"; feed grains - "Before the referendum on the i!)t4 wheat program." Choice of Planted Acreage The new cotton proposals will be along the lines laid down by the Cotton Advisory Committee some time ago. The proposals will include a subsidy for domestic mills and a choice of planted acreage. The subsidy, called trade incentive or equalization pay ments, would be designed lo reduce the equity between the price foreign buyers pay for U.S. raw cotton and the price domestic mills pay. Be cause of the present 8' i cents per pound export subsidy, duction below a base level in return for government pay ments. This would be similar to payments now being made to producers under the vol untary feed grain programs. Such a program would be expected to reduce govern ment costs by about S150 mil lion annually, while main taining farm income. The cost of the present dairy program, which calls for mandatory price sir port with no limita tion on production, is run ning at about $500 million a year. The feed grain program for 1 0(54 and subsequent years is expected to be a continuation of the 1961, 1962, and 1963 voluntary programs. 775 Veterans Get Education Benefits Salem State educational benefits were paid to 775 World War II and Korean Conflict veterans last year to. taling S162,:il2. Kranklin G. Reynolds, education officer for the Department of Veter ans' Affairs, has reported. The average benefit was about $210. Since the state program of financial aid to veterans in schools and colleges started in 1945, benefits totaling $3, 576,183 have gone to 13.095 students, Reynolds said. The over-all average payment to each veteran was $273. Veterans seeking the bene fit while attending school dur ing the current winter term or semester should contact the veterans' clerk at their school or college; their local county veterans' service offi cer; or the Department of Vet erans' Affairs in Salem or Portland. r.:i M Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura Dr. William Dameshek, one of the country's leading spe cialists on blood diseases, in a article, de scribed idio pathic throm bocyte pc n i c pur p u r a (or I I P). 1 d i o pathic means that the cause is not known; thrombocytes are the liny Auam Domes in tne blood around which clotting can lake place; penic means that there is a lack of enough thrombocytes; and purpura is a condition in which the per son gets blacks and blue spots under the skin. As Dr. Dame shek said, the acute form of the disease may be produced by taking some drug, perhaps a new one, the dangers of which are not yet well known. Sometimes the disease is due to the patient's breathing the vapor arising from certain chemicals, especially in clean ing fluids. The chronic form of the disease seems to be due to the body's- becoming aller gic to some one part, like the skin or some of the particles in the blood. We physicians are now be coming more and more inter ested in these cases in which most of the body tends to re gard some small part of it, or some organ, as a foreign in vader. The body then attacks this supposed invader and in jures it. Sometimes. 1TP is associat ed with chronic lymphatic lcu-kemia-a disease in which cer tain of the white cells in the blood are over-produced by the billion. The fact that ITP can turn into another one of several rare diseases shows that they are related. One of these diseases is hemolytic anemia, a condition in which some of the blood is destroyed. Severe Bleeding In some cases, in women, the first symptom of ITP is severe vaginal bleeding. Al ways, when a doctor sees a case of ITP, he must insits that the patient tell him about every drug that he or she has been taking, and then for a such .while, the use of all ; drugs must be slopped, j In some cases of ITP it lielps the patient to remove his ' splccn-an organ just to the ; left of the stomach. Dr. Dame shek feels that this organ should not be removed in the acute phases of the disease. In these acute cases, treatment w i t h cortisone - like drugs usually helps. If the patient docs not respond lo this treat ment, then the spleen must be removed. j borne years ago, ur. u.imc- siick and his associates sum icd, fur from 1 lo 8 years, a scries of 40 consecutive cases of ITP. During this time there were nine cases in which s.vs- I lemic lupus la raic stwn ur ease) appeared. Tins happen ing indicates that the two dis eases are closely related. Dr. Dameshek believes that systemic lupus, like ITP, is due to fact that the body seems to have become antago nistic to some organ or lo parts of the skin. Motorists Asked to Watch for Others "Keep your eye on the other guy - he's the big question mark in traffic," according to Chief of Police Charles P. Champlin, lUcdfnrd, as he warned area drivers In be on their guard against the un predictable behavior of pedes trians and other drivers. Champlin said it "isn't enough to obey the law and mind your own business. You have a moral responsibility to prevent an accident if you can, even when the other fel low is at fault." A driver's only protection against the mistakes of others, he said, is to anticipate his actions and conlcract his blun ders with quick, safe action. Champlin also warned driv ers to be alert to the thought less moves of pedestrians who may cross in mid-block against lights, alight from a car on the street side, or walk on the wrong side of the road. 29.18 MILES PER G !ambler beats all cars in miles per gallon i ore Oil Economy Te ONE OF 3 EVENTS IN 1963 PURE OIL PERFORMANCE i Xv iiunuw ni una i wurt i i-iiiini wun- ..r,.

After a record year uf mat rimonial activity in 1HH'.'. when ti.jil;) couples were Kiven liccnes, this northeast ern Oklahoma city is on its way to losing its "supermar ket murriatte system." A reform slate of two new I justices of the peace and a Sunday school superintendent , turned county clerk has end ed the aller-houis and week end marry m. Last jear. the 13.186 per sons married in Mia m i equaled the total population of the city. The couples came from throiiithout Oklahoma. Kansas. Arkansas and Mis souri. I!y comparison. Oklahoma City i.-suid only ;t,80B li censes and Tulsa only L'.3S4 in UMill. In the past six years, 31).!1U1 couples have beyun married lite in Miami. Not an Accident It was not an accident that Miami became the marriase capital of the midwest. It took promotion and a well-run sys tem. Slranscly enough, one of the new reform peace jus tices. J. J. Swelnam, is us ually credited with putting Miami on the marriage map while he served an earlier term as peace justice. Swetnam began advertising about 11154 in numerous news papers in surrounding states. ToRi lher with Court Clerk Henry Austin, Swetnam and fellow peace justices Don Evorsolo and Grover Knstcn made marrying a big business in Miami. Austin, who didn't mind geltint; up at any hour to is sue a license to a couple, may be the world champion when it comes to marrying. "1 estimate I've issued more than 50,000 marriage licenses and that's prchably more than any other man in the nation has issued," Austin re flected recently. But Miami residents appar ently tired of the growing reputation and voted out Aus tin, w ho had held the clerk's jo!) for 32 years. Swetnam rode in on the reform ticket along with his nephew, Floyd Branson, lid die Simpson, a Miami busi nessman and Sunday school superintendent at the First Christian church for 20 years, won the clerk's position. Simpson said he would is sue marriage licenses' only during regular office hours. The word must have gotten around because only 20 cou ples applied for licenses dur ing the first two days of the new regime. By comparison, over the four-day New Year's holiday,; when the county courlhou.se ' was closed, the outgoing sys tem closed out an era by mar rying 124 couples.

MedfordWtribune Vaccine Protection Is Urged by Health Officer MEDhOHD, OHKCiON. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY .'til, l!lli:i lb. ?-:?C&iS4i. A ( 1 J if . I w f Ma Too many people arc not taking advantage of vaccine protection against serious dis eases, according to Dr. A. Erin Merkel, Jackson county public health oficer. "People have heard much about polio vaccine, but lend to overlook such potential killers as smallpox, tetanus, whooping cough and diphthe ria," Dr. Merkel said. All babies should be given injections against diphtheria, whooping cough and tetanus beginning at two to three mouths old, Dr. Merkel rec ommended. These shots may be given in a "triple" vaccine contain ing all three protectors. A polio shot or oral vaccine can be obtained during the same visit lo the doctor, Dr. Merkel pointed out. Smallpox vaccin ation should be received when a child is a year-old, he added. Booster doses of vaccinei also are necessary from tim to time to maintain protec lion. This applies to both chiU drcn and adults, the publiB health officer said. A record should be kept of previous vaccinations and notation made when the next booster doses are due. "Too many adults neglect diphtheria protection," Dr. Merkel pointed out. "Every adult should have this pro lection by receiving initial immunization followed by reg ular booster doses." Gresham Woman Dies in House Fire Gresham - IIW - Mildred Agnes Darnielle, 4ti, died here Tuesday night when fire swept through her home. Seven pieces of fire equip ment from three districts bat tled the blaze for two hours in 28 -degree temperatures. Winds up to 40 miles an hour hampered fire-fighling efforts. The fire apparently started in an overstuffed chair in the living room. It was tentatively blamed on smoker's careless ness. Mrs. Darnielle, who lived alone in the S:t5,000 home, was found in the kitchen. Can Save You Tax Money! Arc you claiming all drug deductions to which you ar entitled?
