MEDFORD, OREGON Unusually Heavy Fire Danger Seen Washington -WPP- Govern ment forestry officials have told Congress they fear an "unusually heavy" fire danger In Oregon and Washington this year. Part of the reason, they told a House Appropriations sub committee in testimony pub lished today, is the presence of fallen timber caused by the severe storm in October. Russell E. Getty, Oregon state director for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), told the committee his bureau had been working with state and private agencies in an ef fort to reduce the danger. ' "All protection agencies, all management agencies are very concerned about this point," he said. "We fear an unusu ally heavy fire season." COMPARE and you'll buy the best!

Wertd rights latrrtit: High School Coed Suffering From Cancer Relies on Drug LEONARD ELECTRIC CO. "Medford'i Leading Applianct Dealer for the Pair 32 Years" 309 I. MAIN PHONE 773-4S4I Rockford, III, OJPli Perky Diane Lindstrom is a normal high school coed in every re spect but one, Her soft smile and shy eyes hide the painful knowledge that she suffers from a malig nant bone cancer of the right thigh. She is staking her life on the controversial cancer drug Krcbiozen. ' . And one of the great battles of modern medicine, whether Krebiozen is effective in the fight against cancer, may hinge on the outcome of Diane's struggle to walk with out pain. Only one month ago, the pretty 18-year-old girl faced terrifying decision, either have her leg amputated or run the risk of never living to see her 23rd birthday. She said she would rather die than have the leg ampu tated. The abnormalities Diane's family physician look x-rays when her leg be gan lo ache last October. They revealed no abnormalities. In late January, Diane was still in pain. More x-rays were taken and the tumor was discovered. 'The doctor said the only answer was amputation," Mrs. Virginia Lindstrom told Chi cago's American columnist Jack Mablcy. He said the cancer was severe and the operation should be done immediately." Two days before the sched uled amputation, the daughter of a hospital worker visited the Lindstroms. "She told us about Krebio zen, Mrs. Lindstrom said. We hadn't even thought about it. Oh, we'd heard about it, the controversy and all. The woman said she had faith in what it could do against cancer. Mrs. Lindstrom and her husband, Milton, went to Chi cago to talk with Dr. Andrew Ivy about the drug. Ivy, an internationally known scientist and former vice president in charge of the University of Illinois profes sional schools, has been this country's foremost proponent of Krebiozen. Lost Post In Ivy's 10-year battle to win acceptance of the drug he lost his university post, the Chicago Medical Society moved to punish him for pro moting a secret remedy. and representatives of organ ized medicine, including ' the American Medical association, declared Krebiozen "worth less." A government evaluation Rail Rate Cut Set Of State Potatoes Salem - IIIPU - Reduced rail freight rates for shipment of Oregon potatoes will become effective April 11, the Pub lic Utility Commissioner an nounced. ' The new rates "restore com petitive relationships" be tween Oregon potato shippers and those in southeast Idaho where such a reduction has been In effect since March, 1962. The reduction is 13 cents per hundred pounds on ship ments from Malheur county and central Oregon to the midwest and southwest. It was estimated Malheur county shippers would save from $50,000 to $75,000 a year, and central Oregon ship pers from $7,300 to $17,000. of the drug is currently In state of suspension. Mrs. Lindstrom said that when her husband "asked our doctor about the drug, he threw up his hands." The Lindstroms decided to postpone the operation and find out more about Krebiozen. "We asked. Diane," she said. We told her what we thought. She had resigned herself for the operation, but right away she wanted to try Krebiozen." The operation was canceled, Diane came to Illinois Mason ic Hospital at Chicago for Krebiozen treatments and the family doctor wrote the fed eral government asking that the drug be barred from pub lic use until it has been fully tested. Doctor Protested The doctor's request was refused. Ivy said the doctor protested "apparently because of professional jealousy." After a month of treatment, Diane said she "feels good." "I'm up and around," she said. "I went to church Sunday." Ivy said Diane "has lost all the pain she had." X-ray showed the tumor has not grown and appeared to be somewhat smaller than be fore the Krebiozen treatments started, Ivy said Diane still comes to Chi cago twice weekly for treat ments. I can't say what her chances are," Ivy said. "We have one girl going on her fourth year, but this is very malignant. We didn't make any promises, just gave them the facts and said you have to make up your own mind." Diane said she would rather die than go through life without a leg," Ivy said. like Betting on Horses Cherry Blossom Handicappers Do Research Prior to Predictions (FT t By DICK WEST United Press International Washington -(tlPlw ..On the staff of the National Park Service are several horticul- u r a 1 experts who do sea sonar work as cherry bios- som handicap. pers. Cherry blossom hand icappers oper ate in .much the same way as race horse West handicappers, only the betting isn't as spir ited. They study the form charts. weather conditions and other factors, and from this make their predictions as to which will come in first, the cherry blossoms or the cherry blos som festival. Ideally, the blossoms and me icsuvai would tinisn in a dead heat, 'but that doesn't happen too often. One is like. ly to be anywhere from a few days to a fortnight ahead of tne other. This doesn't matter aa far as the blossoms are concerned but it means a lot to the fes tival officials.

Riverside at 8th 8CE "CMPIRE," CHRYSLER CORPORATION S WltKLY HOUR-LONG TV ADVF.NTURC SHOW Source of Typhoid Infection Sought Los Angeles -IUPII- Health officials searched today for the source of a typhoid infec tion that has caused the worst outbreak of the disease in Southern California in recent years. A total of 18 cases have been traced to a single teen age gathering. ' .v Two boys, age 1 and 9, were hospitalized Thursday, bring ing the tally to 18 definite or suspect cases. Eight persons definitely had the disease and one was reported in critical condition, authorities said. All 18 were guests or came in contact with those who at tended a teen-age party Feb, 16 in Pacoima. Most of the victims range in age from 1 to 17. Two to three new suspected cases have been delected each day the past week as author ities conducted exhaustive tests of 85 persons connected with the party. A health official said the source of the typhoid bacillus was believed to be a chicken salad served at the party or the well water of a woman who prepared some of the food served at the affair.

Send 50 cents now for r There was, then, a certain amount of tension in the air when the time came this week for the handicappers to de liver their first public prog nostication of the year. Veteran handicappers will tell you that it is impossible to make an accurate prediction on the blooming date of cher ry trees earlier than 10 days before the blossoms appear. Nevertheless, George W. Robey, a handicapper with 31 years experience, was willing to go out on a limb two weeks in advance of the festival opening. I don't mean that Robey ac tually climbed one of the trees. What he did was cut off a few twigs at regular inter vals and stick them in a pail of water in his officej Observes Indoor Bloom : By observing how long it took them to bloom Indoors, and adjusting that time ac cording to . the weather bu reau's long range forecast, taking into account the mois ture content of the soil, he was able to estimate the blooming period outdoors. Along with a congressman, a festival princess and various other interested parties, I was present at the Jefferson Me morial on the banks of the tree-ringed tidal basin when Robey revealed his prediction. Not to keep you in suspense any longer, he predioted that the festival, scheduled for April 2-7, would come in first. His calculations fixed the peak blossom period as April 6-10. Before you make any bets, however, I must caution that cherry blossoms are great stretch runners and to me the track looked fast. If you're looking for a sure thing, better put your money on the swallows at Capistrano.
