Holmer Says Asking
Cuts Isn't Threat,
But Good Economics
GRANTS PASS Freeman"
Holmer, director of the state
department of finance and ad
ministration, said here Tuesday
the administration's action in
asking various state agencies to
name possible 25 per cent budg
et cuts in case of a "No" vote
on the Legislature's tax bill was
not a "threat" but a matter of
simple economics.
"By Oct. 15," Holmer said,
"more than 14 per cent of the
biennium will have passed, and
we cannot afford to delay cuts
if we are to prevent a deficit."
Holmer was joined by State
Sen. Debbs Potts, Grants Pass,
in defending the bill at a public
forum sponsored by the Grants
Pass branch of the American
Association of University Wo
men. Speak in Opposition
Speaking in opposition to the
tax bill were Mrs. John R. Boe,
Grants Pass housewife, and
Gene L. Brown, local attorney
and former state legislator.
Mrs. Boe termed the threat
of an across-the-board cut the
"easy way out," and said the
legislature should take respon
sibility for not coming up with
a satisfactory measure and
should find other ways out with
out damaging children's educa
tion. Brown said that taxes are
high because people have de
manded too many state services
in the past, and that the time
has come to notify state offi
cials that "we have to live
within our means."
A "Yes" vote, he said, would
only be interpreted as meaning
that people want these in
creases, and they would go on
and on until there is another
referral.
Holmer quashed the hope that
tne state could continue into
this biennium living within its
former education budget, point
ing out that the swelling school
population would necessitate
substantial budget increases
even to keep up with the serv
ices rendered during the last
biennium.
Ackr wledges Cost
Brwn, while acknowledging
that school costs go up as the
numbers of children increase,
maintained that during the past
20 years the costs had increased
by much greater percentages
than the school census figures.
Holmer said opponents of the
tax bill fall into two camps:
those who believe government
is too expensive and those who
. believe Oregon needs a differ
ent kind of tax.
Of these, the economy group
seems to be the larger, he said,
and it would be difficult for the
governor or Legislature to in
terpret a "No" vote as any
thing other than a directive to
cut $60 million out of the budget.
Mrs. Boe pointed out that Dr.
jonn . hly, of Princeton, In a
tax study ordered by the legis
lature in 1958, said that another
source of taxes would be re
quired when the state budget
reached $333 million, a point be
yond which it has now gone.
Brown quoted the study as say
ing that at this point the state
could no longer maintain its tax
base on a "two-legged stool
but would have to find a "third
leg."
Oregon Youths To
Remain in Boys
Town, Judge Says
OMAHA, Neb. (UPI) Juve
nile Judge Seward Hart Wed
nesday ruled two youngsters
who were sent here by bus from
Oregon to try to get into Boys
Town could be placed in the in
stitution.
Hart ruled Daniel Presnell, 12,
and his brother, Ronald, 10,
were neglected and dependent.
The boys arrived here Sept.
19 from Salem, Ore., with 86
cents and a note from their
mother, Mrs. Betty Hackworth.
She said she was ill and unable
to care for the youngsters and
hoped they could be accepted
by Boys Town.
After taking testimony at a
hearing in Douglas County Ju
venile Court, Hart ruled that
Boys Town would be "by far
tne best place lor tne boys."
Temporary Basis
They originally were kept at
the Douglas County Youth Cen
ter, but were transferred to
Boys Town on a temporary basis
a weeK ago.
Robert Haney, the court-appointed
attorney who represent
ed the boys, said Oregon author
ities assured him they would not
seek to have the boys returned
if they were placed in Boys
Town.
Mrs. Hackworth and the boys'
stepfather wrote Msgr. Nicholas
Wegener, director of Boys Town,
that they would be grateful if
the boys could be cared for at
the world-famous institution.
The boys, who testified at
Wednesday's hearing, said they
"like it real well" at Boys Town,

"It Can't Be Hereditary"
Time and time aeain. when I
see a child with what I know
is usually hereditary disease,
Tf 1 the parents will
f I say, "B u t it
V I can't he inher-
i t e d , because
we know of no
other case in
our families."
Such a s t a t e
ment does not
mean anything
Jj to a geneticist,
Aivare. ior several rea
sons one is that in many cases
there are relatives with a form
of the disease so mild or so
atypical, or so as yet undevel
oped that they are what we
doctors call "carriers;" they
stay well, or well enough, but
they can pass the disease off to
a child. Oftentimes the parents
of a child will never tell him
that there was an uncle or aunt
or great - uncle or great aunt
or grandparent who had the di
sease which then missed a
generation or two.
For instance, one day when I
saw a girl of 18 who was. still
wetting the bed, she told me
she knew of no one else in her
family who had had this diffi
culty. But when I had made
friends with the mother suffi
ciently so that she was willing
to talk frankly with me, I learn
ed of three near relatives who
had wet the bed until they were
in their late teens. As we all
know, in many families such
unpleasant facts (skeletons in
the closet) are never discussed
before anyone not even a
near relative.
There is another reason why
sometimes people with a hered
itary disease don t know of other
examples of it in the family;
and this is because of what the
geneticists call a "low pene
trance. By this they mean that
wltn certain familial diseases,
several persons who inherited
the tendency never came down
with the illness. Hence, perhaps
it missed several generations.
May Find Sugar
read of a woman who "broke
the rules" and Droved to be a
hemophiliac bleeder (only boys
are supposed to get this di
sease). What happened was that
her father, who was a bleeder,
married the carrier daughter of
a bleeder. By getting the defect
from both father and mother,
the tendency to the disease was
so strong that it was too much,
even for a girl to resist.
Another interesting fact is
that a few persons with a cer
tain inherited disease may have
another related disease. For in
stance, a study of 519 leukemic
children, made by Dr. R. W.
Miller of Bethesda, Maryland,
showed the incidence of mon
golian feeble - mindedness to be
higher than normal. This amply
confirmed what had already
been observed many times, but
in mucn smaller groups. Also,
serious congenital defects, oth
er than mongolism, were found
twice as often among the leu
kemic children as among the
population as a whole.
Cancer of Thyroid Gland
A follow - up study on three
quarters of a group of 200 pa
tients who, some 14 years be
fore had been given radio-active
iodine for the treatment of can
cer of their thyroid gland, has
been made by Drs. T. P. Hay
nic, M. M Nofal and W. H.
BeierwaJtes, of Ann Arbor, Mi
chigan. What is hopeful is that now
67 per cent even of those who
had a scattering of tumor cells
into the lymph nodes in the
neck, and S3 per cent of even
those who had daughter growths
scattered throughout the body
are apparently cured. All of
those who were found to be
alive and well three years aft
er their course of treatment
have apparently remained cur
ed.
This is one of a number of
very hopeful reports which show
that a few decidedly successful
treatments for certain types of
cancer are being worked out. A
point we must remember is
that probably we will not get
one big, 100 per cent cure for
Still another reason why a all cancers we will get a
person with, let us say, diabetes number of perhaps 90 per cent
win protest, - But 1 have five cures tor tne many amerent
brothers and sisters and none types of cancer. A few of these
of them have it." Yes, It may
be so at the time, but 30 years
later, when these sibs (broth
ers and sisters) are in their
50s, one or two of them may
una sugar in weir urine.
I got to thinking of this prob
lem just now as I read that
among a small group of deeply
religious farmers, most of whom
marry within their small group,
a hereditary defect sometimes
shows up decidedly, much as it
might show up in a marriage of
first cousins. For instance, in
one family of eight children,
four are "a c h o n d r o pastic"
dwarfs, with a big body and a
big head, but very short arms
and legs. What almost certain
ly happened in that family was
that both the father and the
mother were carriers of a ten
dency to this type of bodily defect.
Similarly, as I write this, I

cures are coming along quietly
without any fanfare. When,
as in the case of the highly ma
lignant kidney cancers of chil
dren, the mortality used to be
about 100 per cent, we should
now be rejoicing because with
a new drug and a new technic,
more than half of these chil
dren are being saved. This is

Action Declined
On Athletic Fees
EUGENE (UPI) - The Uni
versity of Oregon faculty
Wednesday declined to take ac
tion on a Faculty Senate reso
lution which in effect asked that
compulsory fees collected from
students not be used to support
intercollegiate athletics.
Another motion asking Presi
dent Arthur S. Flemming to set
up a special committee to study
the whole area of compulsory
fees was passed with several
amendments.
The committee is scheduled
to report back at a December
faculty meeting.
Out of a student's present
$110 tuition fee, $6.50 now goes
to the support of athletics at
the university. It amounted to
about $17,000 in 1962.
