Ashland Council
Denies Request for
Water Outside City
Ashland - Tuesday night's
routine Afhiand city council
session was enlivened by
(harp disagreement when
Mrs. David H a g e r baumer's
repeated request ior water
service was denied.
According to Mrs. Hagcr
baumer water mains are in
front of the property at 200
Crowson rd. but hook-up has
been refused because it is out
tide the city limits, yet the
city has granted water service
to the proposed Oak Knoll
Development Corp. for 300
residences beyond the city
limits.
Mrs. Hagcrbaumer asked
why consideration is given to
a big corporation and denied
to an individual.
Emmett Whitham, member
of the water committee, re
plied that "there is a differ
ence between an Individual
and a corporation," that "the
city has an interest In the Oak
Knoll development and is
spending a lot of money for
it," and declared that "the
council has an obligation to
regulate growth in surround
ing areas."
Councilman Don Lewis add
ed that "our policy has been
to deny water, service to prop
erty owners outside the city
limits. The Oak Knoll agree
ment was an exception be
cause of its tremendous
economic value."
In other action, approval
given to City Superin
tendent Elmer Biegel's request.

Well, if you checked "Valiant" seven times your answers agree with
the 3600 test drivers. They aave Valiant the lop rating on all the
features except Roominess. For that category they picked a Chevy II
a more expensive model with a 4-Inch longer wheelbase than
Valiant. If your answers differed greatly, it's probably only because
you haven't had a chance to drive a Valiant yourself.

Bill To Certify
Psychologists
v
Passed in House
Salem - WFD - Oregon would
join 23 other states where a
person must be certified to
call himself a psychologist un
der a bill passed 52-8 Thurs
day by the Oregon House.
Rep. C. R. (R-Corvallis) told
the house, "We cannot delay
or Oregon will become a ha
ven for those not allowed in
other states."
The measure is designed
to protect qualified psycholo
gists while preventing quacks
from fooling the- publ'c by
using a psychologist's title.
The measure would require
a psychologist to have a de
gree plus two years of prac
tice before he could be certi
fied by a board appointed by
the governor. '
Returned To Senate
The bill must return to the
Senate for concurrence in
House amendments. ,
Debate in the House cen
tered on the relationship be
tween a psychologist, who is
not a medical doctor, and a
physician or psychiatrist, in
the field of psychotherapy.
Rep. Morris Crothers (R-Sa-1cm),
a doctor, told the House,
"This bill does not authorize
a psychologist to practice med
icine." Rep. Fritzi Chulnard (R
Portland), wife of an ortho
pedic surgeon, objected to
part of the bill.
"There is no justification
for giving an ancillary group
the privilege of getting into
practice of medicine through
the back door," she said.

MEDFORD
The Medical
by
Falsa Wautrmann Tt
. Every since the Wasser
mann test for syphilis was
discovered, some SS years ago.
it has been
well known
that there xare
"false posi
tives." Some
persons who,
on routine
test ing, are
greatly sur
prised to
receive the re-
port of a posi-
t i v e Wasser-
mann have every reason to
believe they never had syph
ilis. The situation then is em
barrassing for both the patient
and physician.
' In some cases, when inten
sive treatment causes the test
to turn negative, the doctor's
hunch is that the person did
have syphilis. In other cases,
when no amount of treatment
changes the test, the situation
tends to remain puzzling.
In past years, when . this
question came up, I referred
the patient to an expert who
would then have four tests
made - a Kline, a Kahn, a Kol-mer-Wassermann,
and a Hin
ton. Often he could tell from
the way the person's blood re
acted to these tests, whether
he need worry about syphilis.
Also, in those many cases in
which the patient, in his fif
ties or sixties, had a normal
spinal fluid with a negative
Wassermann - and in which
he had never had any symp
toms of syphilis, and in which
he had received enough treat
ment to control the disease
(granting that it had ever
been present),' the expert
urged him to quit worrying
and get examined, and that he
never take any more treat
ment. He probably never had
the disease. .
Findings Ravitwad
In a recent article, Dr. A.
M. Harvey of Baltimore re
viewed the findings in 192
cases of what looked like
false positives. As he said, Dr.
J. E. Moore, after much study
of the problem, reported his
conviction that some 40 per
cent of the persons with ques
tionable positive Wassermann

tests never had syphilis.
The false reactors can be
separated into two types, des
ignated as acute and chronic.
The acute reactions are found
in a person who is suffering
at the time from malaria, or
a rickettsial infection (a Rick
ettsia is a tiny parasite often
transmitted to man by a tick),
a recent vaccination for
smallpox, or an atypical pneu
monia, or an infectious mon
onucleosis, or a peculiar vene
real disease called a. lympho
granuloma. The people with a chronic
false-positive reaction feel
well and have no acute illness,
and their Wassermann reac
tion remains positive for
months or years or for a life
time. The studies of Dr. Har
vey show that sometimes a
collagen disease, such as sys
temic lupus erythematosus, or
rheumatoid arthritis, seems to
be the cause of the reaction.
In many cases, no explanation
can be found.
Curiously, in Harvey's se
ries, there were i3 women
and 49 men. Fourteen of these
people have since developed
systemic lupus; 43 now have
what may be a connective tis
sue disorder, and 81 now have
some abnormality in the pro
teins ( complicated chemicals)
in the blood.
Not Specific Test
One great difficulty with
the Wassermann reaction is
that it is not a specific test for
syphilis; by a strange acci
dent, it Just happens to be pos
itive in nearly all cases of
syphilis arid negative in near
ly all cases in which there is
no syphilis.. The Kline, the
Kahn, and the Hinton, all
share in this defect. Fortu
nately, at last we have a test
that is specific for syphilis,
and this now shows that a
high percentage of the per
sons who bad no history of
every having had anything
like syphilis, or ever having
been exposed to the infection,
never had it; their positive
Wasserman test was wrong.
If, today, a person finds that
he has a positive Wassermann,
with no history to suggest that
it is due to syphilis, he would
do well to go to some large
clinic, or to the laboratory ot
his State Health Department,
or to a big university labora
tory, and ther? to have the
special test made - which is
specific for syphilis, and
nothing elBe. '

cerned about blood pressure-

Missouri Approves
Anti-Poll Tax Act
Washinglon-OIPH - Missouri
Thursday became the 34th
state to approve the anti-poll
tax amendment, but there was
only a slim chance that four
more states would ratify the
measure and make It part of
the U.S. Constitution this
year.
But the outlook for obtain
ing final approval of the 24th
Amendment to the Constitu
tion in January was consider
ed excellent.
Sen. Spessard L. Holland
(D-Fla.), chief sponsor of the
amendment to ban the poll
tax In federal elections, said
he was confident the remain
ing states needed to reach the
required 38 or three-fourths
would ratify before their
legislatures adjourn this year.
