Oa'ioons Frolic In Texas

""The baboons are the latest ac

This is the underlying cause of
Heart attacks.

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.

More Martin
Leads Found
PORTLAND (AP) The per
sisting, but unyielding search for
the missing Ken Martin family
ran unsuccessfully through two
more leads Wednesday.
the latest leads to fizzle in
volved a laboratory examination
of a glove and an analysis of
some paint.
the FBI said the glove, found
near Cascade Locks, Ore., where
the Martins bought gasoline the
day before they vanished, showed
it never had been worn by Mrs,
Martin.
The paint, found on roadside
rocks in Skamania County, Wash.,
was not of the type used on automobiles.
Martin, his wife and three
young daughters vanished Dec
on a Christmas tree hunt.
The Multnomah County sheriff's
office said it is without further
clues on where next to look for
the missing Portland family.

NEW YORK (AP)-Vice Presi
dent Richard M. 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.
Nixon and Rockefeller almost
failed to get together last fall
when the vice president came
here to give a boost to Repub
licans during the , state election
campaign. They met briefly for
breakfast that time, just before
Nixon returned to Washington.
