Try and Stop Mo
By BENNETT CERF
-The? legislature I
A WOMAN WHO weighs something over 300 pounds had
an interesting experience while flying by jet from Den
ver to New York recently. Shortly after the take-off a
stewardess tapped her on
the shoulder and invited
her to move from the
tourist section to a seat
in the first-class com
partment. "I'm flattered,"
said the woman, "but
wonder why you've
singled me out for this
V.I.P. treatment." "Ma
dam," explained the
stewardess candidly, "we
have a weight problem."
Joa McCarthy tells of
two robbers who made a
gigantic haul in a bank tick-up. Looking at the huge pile of
green backs on a table in their hideaway, one robber suggested
"Instead of counUng all this money, let s wait till morning and
look at the newspapers to see how much we got!"
Another Joe McCarthy story: A family group, having dinner
at a Broadway restaurant, reached the dessert course. The 0-year-old
daughter said to the waiter, "What kind of pastry do
you have?" Then, before he could answer, she added, "And, by
the way, what IS pastry?"

Good Care For Your Feet
Many aching feet can be so
treated that they will stop
hurting, say my friends the
podia trists.
Yet millions
of Americans
go on suffer
ing from foot
troubles. And
no wonder! 1
now read that
we walk an
average of
65,000 miles
AJvarez in a lifetime,
or 7'2 miles, or 13,000 steps a
day. If a man weights 165
pounds, his feet carry around
a daily load equivalent to 2
million pounds. That's a lot of
use for a small part of the
body.
One should not overlook
minor injuries to the feet,
such as bruises, or cuts and
cracks in the skin, because an
infection can occur. Also one
must avoid bad habits of pos
ture and walking - which can
develop. Not all foot ailments
are merely corns and calluses.
Sore feet can often be due
to weak arches, hammer toes,
plantar warts, foot imbalance,
heel spurs, a skin disease, or
congenital and acquired de
formities. Here are some hints for
taking care of your feet:
(1) Keep your feet clean.
(2) If the skin of your feet
is dry, at night apply some
lanolin, cocoa butter, or oil.
(3) Dry the skin carefully
after your daily bath. If you
want to avoid "athlete's foot,"
be sure to dry between the
toes.
(4) Do not wear tight gar
ters, especially if they cause
your ankles to swell.
(5) Corns, calluses or an in
grown nail should quickly be
taken care of by an expert.
(6) Seek immediate profes
sional care for any injury to
the foot, or an ulcer or sore
that appears on the skin. Re
member that a good podiatrist
can help.
Difficulties in Research
I am often urged by intelli
gent peopie to do everything
I can to stimulate the medical
profession to get behind "a
crash program" of research
which they hope will quickly
- perhaps in a couple of years
- give us the cure for cancer.
I surely, hope that some
cures for the several forms of
cancer will be found in the
next few years, but I know
that a crash program, no mat
ter how well planned and
how well backed by a billion
dollars, is not likely to suc
ceed. Why? I know this be
cause years ago I was on the
board of directors of a re
search foundation, and during
that time I discovered how
very difficult it is to find
many men with a spark of
genius - devoted to research,
honest, well-Daiancea mental
ly and spiritually; well-trained
technically - and what is
all-important - in possession
of some idea as to how the
particular research problem
might be tackled. After a cou
ple of years in which I watch
ed most of our foundation's
money - which we had given
to men in the United States -going
down the drain, without
bringing us much in the way
of discoveries - I decided that
I didn't want to try to neip
any man unless he seemed to
have ppned up a good ap
proach to problem and had
a good idea its to how it
should be tackled.
Fearful for Schools
Some months ago, I sat
after dinner with i group of
interesting men; a few profes
sors of medicine and few
directors of institutes - men
who ha 'i-ed in research all
of their lives. There were also
some clinicians and some
teachers of pre and post-grad
uate medical students. I was
so interested to see that these
men were actually fearful of
what may happen to our medi
cal schools as millions of re
search dollars are poured into
their treasurer.
Naturally, these men are
glad to see money being given
to research. As several said, in
their youth they had had to be
satisfied with a tiny salary,
sometimes one smaller than
that paid to a'n unskilled
laborer. During my early days
in research, my family and
had to live on $250 a month.
Hence it is that we who love
research have no objection to
seeing the workers being paid
a living wage.
But what the deans of med
ical schools are now worrying
about is that everyone around
the place - and this includes
men without any gift for re
search work - are wanting to
give up their teaching, or their
care of patients - to go into
uie laDoraiories. The senior
students also - some of whom
ought to be going into general
practice want to go into re
search, for which most of
them have no gift at all. For
tunately, the able directors of
the National Institute of
Health in Bethesda are wise
they understand the problem,
and they are trying hard to
dispense the money wisely.

American Cardinals
Leaving for Rome
(Continued from pagt one)
The lawmakers cut millions
from the Hatfield program,
and added millions in new
programs. They came up with
a $6 million one-shot fund for
schools where Hatfield had
planned to use general funds.
And they decided to use $10
million in general funds for
college buildings where the
governor had planned to bor
row through bonds.
Hatfield insisted his pro
gram was the least Oregon
could spend and still keep
services at the same level. Ed
ucators, and many other state
agencies, argued even Hat
field's proposals were too
little.
The legislators insisted even
their cuts would not impair
state services.
In fact, they replied, by
their long study they had im
proved on Hatfield's spend
ing blueprint by removing the
last vestiges of "fat" while
fortifying some spots that
were too lean.
Since money determines
what the state can do, the
committee was deciding pol
icy for the next two years.
And the committee didn't
stop at sums of money. It
also overhauled many budget
ing procedures that spell out
just how the money is ap
pealed and spent.
The 5404 million is a rec
ord, as budgets for this grow
ing state have been for some
years.
Other Money Spent
That doesn't represent all
that Oregon will spend in
1963-65 only the general
fund portion collected from
taxpayers.
In all, the spending pro
gram comes to some $1.2 bil
lion the rest coming from
pledged funds such as the
gasoline tax, special fees such
as those paid by fishermen
or students, and federal grants
of matching money.
It is in the general fund
portion, however, that the big
decisions are made.
Education, despite its
qualms, fared better than
some.
The legislature approved
$141 million for local school
districts. $5.8 million for spe
cial, classes, and $8.4 .million
for community colleges and
the Department of Education.
Troubled higher education
ended up with $77.3 million
in general funds, $1.7 million
for extra salary Improve
ments, $44 million in general
funds and various bonds for
buildings, and a new tubrrcu
losis hospital with $2 million
to run it.
Requests Ignored
Higher education s own re
quests for more than the gov
ernor proposed were ignorea.
Where else does Oregon
spend $660 per man, woman
and child in general and spe
cial funds in two years time?
Perhaps the biggest sum
in the $241 million highway
budget, most of it from fuel
taxes and federal funds.
The legislature also pro
vided for a $106 million pub
lic welfare program, with the
state paying $41.9 million.
Other budgets range from
prisons and the courts to agen
cies dealing witn neaitn, air
planes, forests and fish.
The legislature raised taxes.
And, though a drop in the
bucket, the legislators raised
their own pay. They also
stayed at Salem a record-long
time. Whether the voters
think 14 meat cleaver pins
represent a conscientious ef
fort to hold the spending line
remains to be seen.
Americans Mourn Death of Pope John
By United Press International
With singleness of heart,
America's humble and mighty
today mourned the passing of
Pope John XXIII.
Catholic, Protestant and
Jew, from cardinals to hum
ble parish priests, from the
President to the man in the
street, all were saddened by
the death of the son of a
sharecropper who became the
leader of the Roman Catholic
church.
The eulogies poured in,
some in prepared statements,
some in telephoned calls. But
was flashed that the Pope was
dead.
"There really isn't anything
you can say," Anita Sandoval,
: a concession stand operator
in a Chicago train depot, said.
"But God bless him."
President Kennedy lej the
nation in mourning. He said
the Pope "brought compas
sion and an understanding
drawn from wide experience
to the most divisive problems
of a tumultous age."
There was unanimity among
the three faiths in praise of
the Pope, whose major con-
perhaps most eloquent were tribut ion during his tour and
the expressions of grief by ! a half year rei-n was the
men and women when word ! Ecumenical Council,
We who are of the Jewish
faith have been blessed by
his warmth, by his concern
for all human beings and by
the attributes of greatness he
possessed." said the Chicago
Federation of the Union of
American Hebrew Congregations.
RETAINS EXEMPTION
Washington - il'Pli - The
House Ways and Means Com
mittee turned down an ad
ministration request Tuesday
for tighter restrictions on the
$100 duty free allowance
from abroad. The committee
approved without change a
two year extension of the
existing allowance.
The Rev. Fredrlk A. Shiotz,
president of the American Lu
theran church, said that
"Christians every where grieve
in the death of Pope John."
The lay president of the
National Council of Churches,
J. Irwin Miller of Columbus,
Ind., said Pope John left as
his heritage a re-awakened
spirit of unity and love that
will be felt forever by men
of faith.
