It 1 t. t '--.Yt SUNDAY, DECEMBER 8, IM MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON American Red Cross Conducts Research Research which will open doors to new uses for blood products and increase the ef fectiveness of present blood service is being carried on in tensively along several lines by the American Red Cross Blood Program. The importance of one phase of Red Cross blood research was dramatically demonstrated re cently, local Red Cross officials noted. A 13-year-old Bronx girl, suf fering from a condition in which her body was destroying its own red blood cells, required an op eration to save her life. Mary Ann's spleen, the organ that dis poses of discarded red cells, had to be removed. Blood transfusions would be necessary during and after sur gery. But the patient had anti bodies that reacted with the blood factor "e," which most persons have in their blood. Only two person in 100 have Mary Ann's group and type, O'positive blood without the "e" factor. Screening Bloods For three years, the Red Cross has been screening bloods for rare factors and antibodies. Some 50 of these are known and have been identified. More than 10,000 bloods have been ex amined by more than 20 tests each, to determine the precise blood types. Complete information has been recorded on computer punch cards and automated filing methods are now used for ob taining the information. So when Mary Ann Simeone's physician asked the Red Cross for 3 units of O'positive blood without the "e" factor, a tele phone call was flashed to the Red Cross western division re search laboratory in Los An geles, where the rare blood file is maintained. Cards popped rapidly out of the machine and the three donors were located in Los Angeles and other cities. Blood Was Collected The blood was collected in those places and sped on its way to New York. A report, a few days after the operation, was that Mary Ann's condition was "very good." Similarly, a Washington hos pital sent a hurry call to the Red Cross for blood with the rare type cellano-negative. A young molher had developed antibodies to this factor, not detectable at that time, and reacted to a transfusion given her after a Cacsarean. A technologist in the Red Cross research laboratory in Washington got the request at 4 o'clock one afternoon. He called the laboratory in Los Angeles and technicians got busy at the On the Air By ELEANOR WIESE Among the staggering number of problems to face President Lyndon B. Johnson in the next year will be that of sharpening his debating technique and pol ishing his television image be cause the networks are deter mined to present presidential candidate debates on radio and television in 1064. There has been general recog nition of the interest created by and the value of the broadcast debates of 1060, but questions have been raised about their format, or program style. In an effort to refine tho for mat of these televised encoun ters and make them even more effective in assisting the Ameri can voter to make an informed choice, the American Political Science Association is at pres ent conducting a study under a grant from tho National Broad casting Company. This professional organization devoted to the Btudy of govern ment and politics requested na tional and state party chairmen, Congressmen and governors to submit Iheir proposals for ways of Improving the presidential de bates. The more Ihnn 400 recom- mcndolfons received are now being sludied by an APSA com mittee headed by Dr. Carl J, Friedrlch, Eaton professor of science and government at Har vard. Other members of the special committee are Peter Odegard, professor of political science, University of California at Ber keley; Harold Laswell, professor of law and political science, Yale University; Richard Ncu stadt, professor of government, Columbia University; Elmo Ro per, senior partner, Elmo Roper and Associates; Gcrhart Wiche, rlnsn of Ihn Chnnl nf Pnhlln Itn. lations and Commitment ions, Boston University; and Charles A. H. Thompson, Rand Corpora- tion. The question of equal time ; provisions for all candidates has si ill (n he resolved by Congress. Two objections are typically made to outright repeal of the equal time requirement thai broadcasters may unfairly favor one principal candidate over another and that rising minority parties may be frozen out of broadcast access to the public. Regardless of what action is taken by Congress concerning the equal time requirement, it is fairly certain restrictions will be suspended for presidential and .vice presidential candidates as they were in UHiO. And debates seem to be the method preferred by television networks to present these candidates to the public. Just what method might be preferred by t h e candidates themselves probably will never be known. BEST ON RECORD, 10 p.m. Sunday KMED-TV.

Flown To Washington Phone calls brought the donors to the Red Cross blood centers in those cities; their blood was taken and flown to Washington. It arrived at National Airport by 3:20 a.m. the next day, less than 12 hours after receipt of the original request, the Red Cross noted. The woman recovered, and plans to donate blood as soon as her physician says it is safe. Her blood will be frozen for long time preservation, to be avail able for transfusion to another patient. Long - time preservation o f blood by freezing, a major effort of the Red Cross blood research program, is still in its experi mental stages. Its objective now is to establish a method of pres ervation by which the blood will be entirely safe for human use. Encouraging Results One method, using glycerol sucrose as the additive to pro tect the red cells during freezing and liquid nitrogen as the refrig erant, has given encouraging re sults in investigations thus far. In experiments already conduct ed, as little as 3 per cent of the red cells have been lost during freezing and thawing processes, with 90 per cent of the red cells circulating normally 24 hours af ter transfusion. This approaches the rate of cell survival of 90 to 95 per cent in transfused fresh blood at 24 hours. Blood program officials say that evidence indicates this is an exceptionally efficient pro cess. Current experiments are aimed at adapting the procedure to an economical method of rap id processing in large quantities. Jackson County residents will have an opportunity to partici pate in the Red Cross blood pro gram when the Bloodmobile vis its Medford from 2 to 6 p.m. Monday, Dec. 9, and again from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 10.
