""The baboons are the latest ac tors in the urgent search to find causes and prevention of Ameri ca's leading kHIer, heart disease. . For baboons are found to suffer naturally, just as man does, from Jlie fatty-plugging and clotting of arteries known as atherosclerosis This is the underlying cause of Heart attacks. a Baboons are the only known ani tnal besides man which get ather osclerosis naturally. They offer promising new clues to under standing and preventing the killer process. s-Baboons are coming from Africa jt the rate of about 25 a month to live in the outdoor "baboon ery" established by the Southwest Foundation for research and cdu tation in cooperation with three Other institutions. f An unusual method of seeking Rockefeller Is 85 Today .-NEW YORK (AP) John D. Rockefeller Jr. observes his 85th birthday today. t. He expected to pass the day quietly with his wife, and there Jrere no plans for a family gath ering of any kind, a spokesman said. . The Rockefellers are out of town, but the spokesman declined to say where. ":The spokesman said Rockefel ler is in good health for a man fit his age and takes an active in forest in affairs generally. .-."He likes to know what's hap pening," said the spokesman. Rockefeller, only son of the noted multimillionaire oil mag nate, has made few public ap pearances in recent years and did not attend the recent inauguration of one of his own five sons, Nel son, as governor of New York. Youth Hears from Chief " CINCINNATI (AP)-His parents didn't know anything about it, but Tyear-old Stanley Burroughs (Crawled a note to President Ei senhower two weeks ago. He told the President his father's birth- tiay would be Jan. 30, and he praised his dad's ability as truck driver. I'iThis week the father, Edward Burroughs, received a letter from Frederick Fox, special assistant St. the White House. ""Through your son Stanley, the1 president learned ot your ap C'roachine birthday and the Pres irient asked me to send you his cordial greetings, Fox wrote. '.V'Stanley talked about your iplendid record as a truck driver. He wants to follow your example. jffiot only as a driver but as a good father. He is very proud ot you I hope he gets his wish." - Stanley learned about the reply when he sauntered in from school. And what was his reaction? "It's about time," he said non chalantly. "I expected to hear from them last week." causes of the artery disease has been developed by Dr. Nicholas T. Werthessen, head of the biolo gy division of the foundation. He devised a perfusion pump, a system by which an artery can be kept alive for days or weeks while blood circulates through it. Nutrients, or drugs or other ehem icals can be added at will to the circulating blood. Using the aorta or main large artery of calves. Dr. Werthessen discovered that the artery itself can actually make cholesterol, one of the main ingredients hi the deadly plugging process in arter ies. But calves do not naturally de velop atherosclerosis. Baboons do, and these animals are closer to man in the tree of life. Some baboons will supply aor tas for detailed study in the per fusion pump. Others will be bled painlessly under anesthetic, to supply blood for the pump. Werthessen first wants to .know whether baboon arteries manufac ture cholesterol, and how or whether they make other fatty materials, or take them from the bloodstream, or give them back to the blood. Radioactive materials needed to make cholesterol arc added to the circulating blood. Later the blood and tissues are analyzed in labor ious examinations to establish what has happened. Baboons will also be studied to learn the effects of eating foods similar to human diet, especially food containing animal fats. In natural life, baboons developed the fatty trouble even though they are almost always purely vegetarians. They are frightfully clever, and can be vicious. It took more than a year to de vise a system of separating from a closed runway the baboon chosen for any particular study. All are first put to sleep with anesthetic gas. Aortas taken for attachment to the perfusion pump must be com pletely sterile. Surgery to remove them this way is extremely pain staking and difficult. The baboonery had its beginning 2'4 years ago when Dr. Russell Holman of s Louisiana State Uni versity Medical School in New Or leans discovered fatty deposits in the aorta of a 16-year-old baboon who had died in a zoo. He called Werthessen, and they checked further, making some studies in Africa along with other scientists. One analysis of 163 vegetarian baboons living in Afri ca showed that about half had fatty deposits in their aortas. A few had fairly severe disease. One aged baboon had scars showing signs of hemorrhage; .just like ad vanced atherosclerosis in humans More female baboons had the fatty deposits than males. The re verse is true in humans. mmr 'SB - V i JWvl i -i i . fir (gM..':.; CITY BRIEFS KLAMATH KURBSTONE Kowpokes in full regalia gave an arriving New York couple an eyeful of Western garb when United Air Lines brought Mr. and Mrs. Richard Smith for a visit at the home of Mrs. Smith's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Lawrence of Klam ath Falls.

Nixon spent an active day here Wednesday, in cluding having a private talk with former Gov. Thomas E. Dewey. But he never got to a big Repub lican victory dinner presided over1 by Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller. As he left by plane for Wash ington shortly after midnight, Nix on was asked why he had not at tended the state GOP $lOO-a-plate affair. "I didn't know about it when I made my plans to come to New York and my plans for activities in New York," he said, "and I guess they didn't know I would be in town. Actually, this was just a dinner for state Republicans." Nixon received an honorary de gree Tuesday night from Ford- ham University and addressed the university s alumni at a dinner. The vice president and Dewey talked for well over an hour in Nixon's suite in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. They started talk ing about 15 minutes after Rock efeller had left the hotel, where he had called on Argentine Presi dent Arturo Frondizi.
