frAGE FOUR Asia People To Benefit From U.S. Medical Ship WASHINGTON NEA The peo ple of Indonesia and South Korea will be the first beneficiaries of a unique and dramatic U.S. goodwill mission a floating hospital and medical school. The sea going health center is the reconditioned Navy hospital ship Consolation. Loaded with life saving drugs and about 60 doctors, nurses and technicians, the ship will sail Sept. 15 from San Fran cisco to Southeast Asia. It will provide expert medical did and instruction to Asian coun tries upon the request of their medical associations. Indonesia and Korea are the first to ask for this help. If enough money can be raised, the Consolation may visit other areas of the world in future years, and it may be joined by other re conditioned hospital ships. The goodwill mission is known as Protect HOPE. The letters stand for "Health Opportunity for People Everywhere." It's the brainchild of Washington physician William B. Walsh, head of the People to-People Health Founda tion. Inc. PPHF is one of 41 committees that make up the People-to-Peoplc Program. Conceived by President Eisenhower, the program is based on the belief that goodwill pro jects carried out by private citi zens are more effective in build ing good foreign relations than those sponsored by the govern ment. Dr. Walsh declares: "We believe that the Consolation will be a striking, dramatic sym bol that this mission comes from the heart of the American people. It's truly inspiring evidence that people in this country are deeply concerned about the people in other countries as human beings. "We know how difficult is the accomplishment of this task and are constantly aware that our pur pose must be to give help that is actually needed where we go. rath er than the help we ourselves may think should be given." The ship will be staffed with about 20 physicians, 20 nurses. 15 medical technicians and two den oSYI7.ft? f 4jBLr .-ll AMMAN s.

U.S. Waiting For Error, Then Will Move In Iraq By RAY CUOMLEY NEA Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON (NEA I This Is the U.S. strategy to slop Iraq's fast slide to communism: Wait for Hie Reds to make a ma jor mistake. . Step in last, hut softly, with of fers to Baghdad of aid and friend ship maybe even arms without strings attached. The Stule Department gambles that Iraq's moody and suspicious strong man Abdul htirim cl lsas sent like Egypt's Nasser will awing away from the Reds, once they cross his will, or once he oe comes suspicious ol their motives or their strength. They gamble, too. Hint Kasscm's distrust of the licds won t come too lute. They hope il won't be after the Reds have themselves so thoroughly entrenched they can t be rooled out of control. The stakes ore big: Hie whole Middle East. For if the U.S. strat egy Is wrong, Iran, Jordan. Ku waitand a good share of the world's oil might well follow Iraq and slip gradually under Red con trol. What then does the U.S. do now while it's wailing (or the Com munists to make a mistake in Iraq? Their wail fiir-lhe opporlu nily program has lour steps. Step one: Don't rock the boat. Don't say anything that would im ply Kassem- is pro t'ommunist for fear that would tie him closer to the Russians. Leave the door open for him to separate himself Irnm the Reds when lire time comes that he wants to. Step two: Keep as many Ameri can contacts in Iraq as possible, even though they haven't much to do. Though technical aid Is dwin dling to a trickle, keep the person nel there. Keep the embassy in Baghdad well staffed. This pre pares for step three. Step three: Make as many per onal U.S. contacts with Kassem and his non-Red advisers as pos sible. assuring them the U.S. Is friendly. Make certain they receive information on what has happened in Hungary, Tibet and other lands which trusted the Communists o much. Keep giving assurances the U.S. has no designs against las tm and hi" government. Step four: Make sure at ever rpportmiity that Kassem knows U s. aid la available any time he tists. Half of the doctors will be interns. They will be rotated ev ery four months, which is aoout the time that the Consolation is expected to remain in one coun try. Replacement will be flown from the U S. to the ship. Since the principal aim of Project HOPE is medical education, permanent staff members will be selected ac cording to their teaching ability as well as their medical skills. When the Consolation docks at a foreign port, local doctors will be invited aboard to attend clar.ses devoted to the latest disease-fighting and surgical techniques. The ship's operating rooms and SOO-bed hospital ward will be available to their patients. Thus, the physicians will be able to watch the Consola tion's doctors at work and also get practical experience in trying out the new techniques. Mobile medical units will be dis patched inland to train people how to give inoculations, work X-ray machines and help deliver babies. Public health techniques also will be taught. If an epidemic should break nut, the medical staff will work fulltime to take care of the sick. "In all our efforts, we will par ticipate with local doctors present," Dr. Walsh explains. "We expect In learn from local conditions and experience as well as to teach." Dr. Walsh says it will cost $3.5 million to operate the ship for the first year. Most of the money is being donated by large corpora lions. The rest will come from donations by individual citizens. Drug firms will provide the medical supplies and oil compan ies are expected to donate the ship's fuel. Pledges of food have also been made. One company has already offered a carload of pota toes. The American President Lines will operate the vessel at cost. MEETING PEOPLE LANCASTER. Pa. APi Three cars piled up Sunday night on the Martindale-Hinkletown road near .Martindale.

Make certain he knows that the US would even give military aid strong, hard consideration. How much hone have US oflicials this new policy will work? How much assurance do they have Kassem isn't deliberately pushing irtq toward communism? Answer: U.S. officials don't know. But as one man close to making uiu lureign policy puts it: "What other plan can we have? If we assume all is lost, we can't do anything. So we have to hang on to any possibilities we can see that Kassem is. lirst of all an Arab nationalist. Any other assumption and we are giving up."

BICYCLE SAFETY SCHOOL, sponsored by the Parent Teacher Association, was conducted on the Mount Shasta Elementary School grounds recently. Forty-four youngsters reported for an illustrated talk on safety and for a ride over a 250-yard obstacle course where their skill and riding habits were checked by Police Commissioner Ove P. Nlelson, Police Chief Barnum and five additional city and auxiliary policemen. Here city and auxiliary police men are checking the bicycle riders on their ri ding habits and for mechanical defects of equipment on their wheels. Photo by J. O.

Cancer Causing Agent Found On Milk Cartons By DELOS SMITH , UPI Srirnce Editor 'I NEW YORK UPI' - In analyzing some of the dairy waxes which are used to coat milk cartons, three scientists found just a trace say, one part per million of 1.2.S.6 - dibenzan thracene in one of them. That would be of interest only to chemists were it not that Ihis chemical compound is one of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons which are cancer-causing agents. Even so, the discovery still would be rather academic if the waxes were stable in t h e pres ence of milk. But the scientists showed milk has a chemical prop erty heretofore unknown. It can "wash" aromatic hydrocarbons out of waxes. Drs. Hans L. Ealk. Paul Kolin. and Adcle Miller of the University of Southern California. Los Ange les, operate under grants of the .National Cancer Society and are interested in delecting any poly cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons cir culating among people. No one would knowingly permit such a circulation, of course, but they're extremely subtle chemi cals and are to be found in many s.ranxe places !n our highly chem icalized every-day existence. For instance, anything derived from petroleum can contain them. The scientists began their expe riments by showing that proteins in a watery solution "washed" these polycyclic aromatic hydro carbons from panicles from soot. This was surprising because the compounds are antagonistic to water, chemically. The proteins not only got them out of the par ticles but held them in the watery solution. Milk, loo, is an "aqueous solu tion of proteins." and it was shown to also have thi washing and holding property. The dairy waxes were the next step because as coatings of milk cartons, they're in continuous contact with milk. Several dairy waxes vrre ana lyzed and a trace of l,2,5.fi-dincn-zanthracenc was (oinid in one. The scientists also were looking for 3.4-benzyprene. another potent cancer-causer of Ihe family, and found not a trace. Nevertheless, they continued the invctic..Hinn because, in iheir words, this conv pound is "everywhere." They added the compounds to dairy waxes, coaled the insides of test tubes with the waxes, and tilled the test tubes either with homogenized milk, butter milk. O Newspaper SPOT ADS are inexpensive reputed daily 94e HERALD AD NEWS. KLAMATH skim milk, or half milk and half cream. All these varieties of milk "washed" either polycyclic aro matic hydrocarbon out of the wax. and held it in solution. Homogenized milk did it best. ann ai room temperature. In one test !M per cent of the added 3.4 benzyprene was out of the wax coating and in the milk after 54 hours of contact. By comparison, half-and-half got 111 per cent out of Ihe wax. buttermilk St per cent, skim milk 74 per cent. When held in a refrigerator, these per centages of washings were re duced by one third and more. The scientists, rather than seek ins to scare anyone, emphasized their facts pertain exclusively to hydrocarbons added to dairy waxes "rather than to those oc- curing naturally in dairy wax." The purpose of this kind of in vestigation is to reveal possible hazards so as to keep the people concerned on their toes.

Awaiting action in the Assem bly was a much-debated bill to prohibit milk drive-in depots from selling milk one to two cents a quart below the regular retail store price. The bill was killed once before this session, but revived by As semblyman Carley V. Porter (D Comptoni with the support of lobbyists for the large dairies. Small producers claim the Por ter bill would put the drive-ins out of business. On the Senate side, the Labor Committee was scheduled to kill or severely amend Gov. Edmund G. Brown's bill dealing with labor-management relations and jurisdictional strikes. The bill, hy Assemblyman Al len Miller iD-San Fernando' ran into determined opposition from agriculture. A L'PI poll- showed at least five members on the committee will strike all refer ences to agriculture from the pro posal or vote to kill the entire prncram. The most important hearing scheduled tonight involves Ihe governor's proposed water pro gram. Northern senators conceded af ter Brown made substantial amendments to his water bill that it now is much more to their liking. Southern legislators hinted the proposal will be acceptable to them in its present form but they don't want to see the north make further changes. Tonight the Senate Water Com mittee holds its third hearing on the water bill, introduced bv Sen. Hugh Burns 'D-Fresnoi at the request of the governor.

In its amended form, the pro posal calls for a Sl.750.0OO.oo0 bond issue to finance a statewide water plan, principally the Feath er River Project. The measure seeks to protect the south by guaranteeing that contracts between the state and the south to, import northern wa ter will be good for the life of the bond issue. At the same time, new language in the bill guaran tees the north rights to the water it needs for its ultimate beneli cial use. .Northern local projects would get 130 million dollars, a figure northern senators probably will seek to increase. Later in the week, the Assem bly is scheduled to take final ac- lion on the governor's budget bill. As approved by the Ways and Means Committee, the budget to tals $2,222,000,000.
