Agriculture Act of was
approved. 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.

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.

Marriage Mill

After a record year uf mat

Kiven liccnes, this northeast
ern Oklahoma city is on its
way to losing its "supermar
ket murriatte system."
A reform slate of two new

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.

souri. I!y comparison. Oklahoma
City i.-suid only ;t,80B li

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.

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."
