SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1954 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE ELEVEN Scientists Search Answer To Cigarette Controversy Bjr Al.TOV L. BLAKESI.EE AP Science Reporter NEW YORK iiiHl.l'nlllim. dollar search Is getting under ttav 10 iuiu uie aiuwer io 'ni oul!0,i Are cigarettes guilty or innocent as a cause of cancer heart ease or shortened lite? Numerous laboratoris and anen cies, here and abroad, are conduct lng it. The search will lead into strange byways. It should in time produce etiuu:li evidence to give yes or no answer, to the satisfaction of almost .ill physicians and scientists. One phase is a reseat ch program by the Tobacco Industry Researcn fTnmmittpe Kini-Hi-itr with o iii,,i half million dollars. This week its sciemmc anvisory un.ira, neadeu by Dr. C. C. Little. Bar Harbor. Mr.ine. announced the first of ix grants totaling 182.000 for research projects. This advisory board says no on? has yet proved a definiie caiiic-and-effect relationships between cigarettes, cancer arm heart dis ease. It has mapped a broad pro gram to cover studies of huraa;i and human lungs, snvke tests on mice, human hahlts, Jobs and s'eo graphical differences, the effects ot Inhaled smoke on ainimals' ner vous systems, blood vessels and lungs, and to make analyses of to btcco. The British tobacco industry has pledged SIOU.000 a year for seven years for research under auspices of Britain' Meriieol Dr Council and the first installment has been paid. One Danish tobacco company granted $14,000 to a sci entist for .research with snprini rf. erance to lung cancer.... The American Cancer Society, saying that "presently available evidence indicates an association" between smoking and cancer and heart disease, has lust earmarked a special half-million-dollar fund for more studies on lu,g cancer. This society Is continuing Us slidy to learn what happens to 180,000 men whose smoking habits are known. The Veterans Administration and TJutinnnl O.anor TnetH.i.a n. ..id ling a similar study of smoking hab . its of 200,000 World War I veterans lo determine any relationship be tween lung cancer and smoking. 6 In some laboratories, scientists are breaking down olsnrette tars, trying to find any specific cancer causing agent or agents. If one were found, and proved -or strongly suspected as a cause C cancer, It might be remove) Fish Screening Project Ended v ' The most ambitious fish screen ing project ever attempted In this state will terminate temporarily this week according to the state Kame- commission. Crews that have been busy for several months pouring screen boxes and Installing rotary' screens on the John Day j river will close up shop until fa Svorable weather' prevails again in & the spring. Thus far, 125 concrete screen boxes have been poured. Well over 300 will be poured on completion of the project. Rotary fish screens have been placed in 40 of th: boxes. The project will be completed n, another two years. 'The improve ment work is a part of the federal ly financed Lower Columbia River development program. Mrs. Eisenhower Plans Birthday from cigarettes to mate them safe. Development or Use -t new lypc of tobucco. shown to be free ot sus pected agents, has been proposed Cigarette paper is beins studied. If danger is found to esist fieri', that could be remover, or avoided. In one human exDerunent, a Ke York scientist Is having his skin painted with tobaccu ..mokn ex tracts, to see If they produce skin cruicers as tobacco tars lipve pr-j" duced skin cancers in mice. His skin also is beina pain'fd with oth er chemicals which are known to ti-duce cancer in anidHb. He is relatively safe in this ex periment, for any skin cancers which may apporr coJd easily be removed in ample time. The buildup of evidence so far has numerous well-known physi cians and scientists either con vinced or hWhh suspicious there is a link of definite danger in cig arettes, even thoucb the extent hat' not been accurately measured. To others, there seem ti be se rious loopholes in the statistics, or other explanations; in short, lack of sufficient proof. Dr. Little, for example, sayshr TIRC's scientific advisory board of nine prominent scientists and piiv sicians all "believe more research is needed. Not one say that ciga rettes cause cancer nor that it does not. We've got to be able to take any kind of evidence, and weigh it." No strings are attached to sci entists working under TIRC grant.';, he adds. Tile committee "will make no attempt to direct the ad ministration of the project once started, to Influence its course, or to control the results." The scien tists are free to publish their find ings and conclusions to inform the public. Dr. Little says he would like to see answers sought to such ques tions as eifects of smoking on tne nervous system, whether there are differences in the nervous or other makeup of smokers and nonsmok ers, or smokers of pipes or cigars compared with cigarettes. What makes teen-agers start to smoke What kind of person may tend to smoke moderately or to excess? More tissue studies, more analyses of tobacco and its components also are under way. One theory of cancer is that some cancers, at least, come only after years of irritation. This Is one reason for suspecting smoking in lung cancer. But, Dr. Little asks, is this because of the irritation, or because the person himself or his body tissues have changed during the process of aging? Time enters into the cigarette controversy. Some experts say the evidence is clear enough now; that in time they will convince others that this is so. The others say not enough facts are known; that in time the facts will Influence or con trovert the present evidences. Research may bring such addi tional evidence even lacking some Incontrovertible proof of cause-and-effect action to con vince most of the authorities. Certainly an energetic quest, going deep into various questions or aspects raised, could produce unexpected dividends of great Im portance in probably unpredicted ways. It could produce more knowl edge about cancer or heart dis ease, not connected with any smok ing aspect. . That could become one of the great, positive values from the cur rent controversy. Meanwhile, smokers can decide for themselves whether they agree with the experts who say ciga rettes are bad, those who say they are not, or those who advise wait ing for more evidence.

Chinooks Return To Umpqua River A mass return to the Umpqua Is being staged by spring Chinook sal mon according to the latest reports I from Bill Pitney, Oregon Game Commission fisheries agent in the area. Counts of adult spring Chinook salmon passing over the counting board at Winchester dam on the north Umpqua show that the run this year was far m excess of the parent run five years ago. In fact, since counting b:gan in 1946. the counts of returning' fish had ex ceeded the parent runs. This year more than 0,600 adult spring Chin ook were counted over Winchester dam, the parent run count was 2.503. Only 1.974 chinooks passed the counting station in 1946. The counting station is located on the north side of the North Umpr.ua Plver Just above the High way 99 bridge.

Monday Believed Deadline For McCarthy Defense Move statement" McCarthy might offer by way of retraction. ' WASHINGTON. Republican leaders icportedly set a Monday target dale for efforts to soften a censure resolution against Sen. McCarthy (R-Wisi. Monday was the day specilied by an influential COP senator who. askuig to remain anonymous, said in an Interview that unless Mc Carthy and his friends can agree by then on a compromise resolu tion "it won't be much use to try any further." So far, this senator added, Mc Carthy himself has not agreed to accept even the criticism involved in a proposed watered-down alter native to the direct censure rec ommendation now before the Sen ate. The Senate itsell was in recess over the weekend after a session yesterday which saw McCarthy as sailed as a spreader of "slush and slime" and defended as "the strongest voice now sneaking out in America against communism." During the debate Sen. Knowland of California, the Republican floor leader, seemed to be laying the groundwork for a possible Senate verdict differing from the censure resolution unanimously proposed by the special committee headed by Sen. Watkins (R-Utahi. Know land said that while he had im plicit faith in the six-man biparti san committee, that did not mean the committee's recommendation bad to be accepted without change. The GOP senator Interviewed to day said that one suggested com promise, so far spurned by Mc Carthy, might declare that while McCarthy's actions had been "in temperate and indiscreet" on some occasions, he had helped in shew ing "penetration of key govern ment agencies" by Communists, this version of the proposed compromise would strike out all reference to censure or condemna tion of McCarthy himself, a move its backers are not sure could com mand the necessary majority vote. However, Sen. Aiken (R-Vt), said in an interview he believes "some senators might be willing to cen sure or condemn acts who are un willing to vote against Ben. Mc Carthy personally." The Watkins committee has rec ommended that McCarthy be "con demned" for his alleged "contemp tuous" treatment of an elections subcommittee which investigated his finances in 1951-52.

O 1 i- r-.i'.v . ... j U t jTi Famous Trichologist Tells Truth About Saving And Improving Hair This new method of home treatment for saving and l row ing; thicker hair will be demon strated In Klamath Falli, Ore., Sunday ONLY, November 14, 1954. OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 10 In an Interview here today D. Russell Collins, Internationally fa mous trichologist and director of the Collins Hair and Scalp Ex perts, Inc., said "There are 18 dif ferent scalp disorders that cause most men and women to lose hair. Using common sense, a person must realize no one tonic or so called cure-all could correct all the disorders," he explained. GUARANTEED t "The Collins firm, recognizing that most people are skeptical of claims that hair can be grown on balding heads, offers a guarantee," Collins said. Once a person avails themselves to the Collins treatment his skepti cism Immediately disappears. To Insure this, we offer this guaran tee. "If you are not completely sat isfied with your hair progress In the very first 30 days your money will be returned." HOPELESS CASES DISCOURAGED First the Collins specialists are quick to tell hopeless cases that they cannot be helped. But the "hopeless" esses are few. Only if a man la completely, shiny bald Is he in this lost category. If there Is fuzz, no matter how light, thin,' or colorless, the Collins firm can perform wonders. Everyone is given a complete, private examination to determine (he condition of his scalp, and cause for his hair trouble. FREE EXAMINATIONS This examination Is very thor ough and highly technical, it re quires 20 to 30 minutes. There Is no charge for this examination and no sppoiBlRient Is necessary. After the examination he is told the required length of treatment and how much it will cost. After starting treat mcnt. he makes regular reports to the Collins firm In Oklahoma City, and a trichologist will return to check his progress periodically. To spread the opportunity of nor mal healthy hair to the thousands who are desperately looking for help, the .Collins firm is sending specialists to various cities through out the United States to conduct examinations and start home treat ment. NO CUREALL "We have no cure-all for slick, shiny baldness," Collins empha sizes. "It there is fuzz, the root is still capable of creating hair and we can perform what seems to me a miracle." There is one thing Collins wants to be certain every man and woman knows. If a recession appears st the temples or a spot begins to show up on the crown of the head, there is something wrong and it should be given immediate attention. HAIR FOR LIFETLME "If clients follow our directions during treatment, and after they finish the course, there is no rea son why they will not have hair all the rest of their lives," Collins said. "Our firm Is definitely behind this treatment, It all depends on the individual client's faithful observa tion ot a few simple rules. HOW'S YOUR HAIR If It worries you call Trichologist K. C. Conner at the Wlllard Hotel In Klamath Falli, Oregon, en Sun day only, Nov. 14, 3 p.m. 'til p.m. The public Is Invited. You do not need an appointment.
