Thousands III as Massive Influenza Outbreak Spreads
By United Press International
A massive outbreak of in
fluenza covered 29 states to
day and kept thousands of
students and workers home
in bed.
The U.S. Public Health
Service (HS) said the danger
of Asian flu is expected to
wane by the middle of next
month but many areas in the
eastern half of the nation re
ported rising sickness rates.
The Communicable Disease
Center at Atlanta said Asian
flu has been positively iden
tified in 16 states. Other
forms of influenza and kin
dred ailmen' felled residents
of 13 other states.
Nearly 4.000 new cases of
flu were reported in nine Ala
bama counties Tuesday,
putting the state total well
over 10,000. Health authori
ties said the outbreak shows

bureau of land management in Alaska, is
shown with Wallace Fixsen, on one of their
many trips during the winter to 300 Indian
and Eskimo villages in the Fairbanks dis
trict of BLM. District manager is Ross A.
Youngblood, formerly with the BLM Med
ford office. During the winter, BLM per
sonnel contact the villages as a part of the
presuppression and fire control education
program, and train village fire fightem.
The two foresters show a film on fire pro
tection and tentatively signed up an emer

Transportation used is by airplane. Shown
is a Cessna 180 which is equipped with
both wheels and skis. The skis are raised
and lowered by a hydraulic mechanism by
the pilot. The district has six Cessans, two
Gruman Goose float planes, and a DC3.
Business Education
Said Not Sharing
Money for Research
Ashland - "Business educa
tion is not sharing to any sig
nificant degree the tremen
dous grants of money ear
marked for research by the
federal government," is the
contention of an article by Dr.
E. C. McGill, assistant to the
president, Southern Oregon
college, which appears in the
latest issue of Forum, a pub
lication of the National Busi
ness Education association.
Entitled "A Director of
Academic Affairs Views the
Need for Research in Busi
ness Education," the article
discusses the need for re
search monies through the
advancement of five basic
points:
1. There should be thorough
research in the area of inter
field concepts to determine
the relationships of business
and economic education to
the other fields of study.
2. Business education must
critically reexamine the busi
ness skills in relation to time
for learning, relation of prac
tice materials to the total
knowledge in business and
economics in particular, the
total world of knowledge in
general, and the application
of appropriate methods for
instruction to induce high
achievement standards.
3. Investigation into the
adaptation of business and
economic materials to the
ability level of the learner
needs to be emphasized.
4. Analysis of the applica
tions of new devices, media,
and techniques in education
to business education is
needed.
5. Research in the preced
ing and other areas will re
late to the cost of education
per student as the financial
problems of education are in
creasingly pressing.
Woman Cited After
Morning Accident
Helen Doris Steed, of 635' 5

congressmen angered by Rep. Adam Clayton Powell's sug
gestion that nepotism and nightclubbing were typical be
havior for members of the House:
"The entire reputation of Congress it at stake. It hat
been lowered because of this statements. It it the retponti

no sign of reaching a peak
The current cold wave is ex
pected to push Alabama's flu
total still higher.
Schools Remain Closed
Schools in three Kentucky
counties remained closed to
day. State health officials
Tuesday reported a 20th death
attributed to the flu and said
previously unaffected areas
are now reporting outbreaks,
indicating the peak may not
have been reached.
The Tennessee health de
partment reported nearly
8.000 new flue cases for the
week ending Feb. 23, a jump
of nearly 400 per cent over
the previous week. More than
19.200. persons have been
stricken with influenza in
Tennessee this year. Most of
the new cases were in the
western part of the state.
A leading medical spokes
man said Tuesday the Los
Angeles area may escape the
flu outbreak because a 1960
epidemic may have immuniz
ed enough persons to prevent
another tiege. But Dr. Clay

attacks and "strokes" are the
result. And it Is chemically
mysterious. Body chemistry
has chemicals which should
prevent it from ever happening.
Something diverts the
chemistry into this abnormal
course. So far no biochemist
has found It. But due to no I
lack of trying. They'd all de
light in finding it. The dis
covery eventually could make
human lives longer.
Drs. D. A. Hill and Jean E.
Wilkinson were the pancrease-
pointers. That gland produces
the enzyme, elastase. Enzymes
activate chemical processes.
Elastase's chemical role is to
dissolve elastin, which is the
protein substance that keeps
elastic tissues elastic. Without
a chemical check such as
elastase, elastin could go too
far and liquify tissues.
Short Duration
The known chemical activ
ity of elasta.se is of very short
duration. The scientists pro
duced circumstantial evidence
to show spent elastase can get
spotted around in the linings
of arteries and there take on
a second chemical life.
This is to take an unbal
ancing part In the chemistry
of blood-clotting which nor
mally is one of beautiful bal
ance. There are substances in
it which encourage clotting
and substances which discour
age it. In the arteries they
cancel one another out.
Drs. Mall and Wilkinson ar
gued from results with test
tube experiments that sup
posedly chemically spent elas
tase lodged In an artery lining
can get the clotting chemistry
to going In the blood. They
made their arguments In the
technical Journal "Nature."
It's true that elastase has
never been Identified in blood
plasma and therefore you can
wonder how it gets to artery
linings to exercise a "systemic
activity." they 6aid.
But if you put purified
elastase Into experimental
animals you get "systemic ac
tivity" every time. This indi
cates It Is absorbed through
the intestinal linings. Any
way, they added, techniques
for finding plasma consti
tuents are not yet so refined
they couldn't mill tiny
amounts of elastase.
Can Be Injured
An extremely tiny amount
would be enough in any art
ery lining. And, this, they
said, would account for the
puzzling fact that clotted art
eries usually appear quite I
healthy except in the one spot
where the clot formed.
They reminded other scien
tist."; that the purely physical
state of an artery lining did
not seem to predispose it for
clot-formation. Artery linings
can be injured and they can
be cut into by surgeons but
clots do not form at the sites
of injury or surgery. There
fore, the predisposing factor
must be chemical, they rea
soned. Although blood clottl".;
chemistry is extrem'" ,.-.
plicated, elastase r :.ow
considered to b' t micipant
in it. Be th' i. It may, they
xdded, you ran prove In test
tubes that It will shorten the
'dotting time of blood. It ap
pears to enter the chemistry
in Its flrat phases and to hurry
it along.
