He added that a breakthrough in any one of the fields now be ing explored could mean a ma jor industrial development. Too optimistic? The answer is NO! There's paper. Paper is made out of trees. There was a long time when we thought that pa per was useful only to write on or print on or to wrap things up with. Now we're learning that almost anything can be made out of paper. Clothes, for example. They're now making disposable shirts for men and disposable house dresses for women out of paper wear 'em until they are rum pled and soiled and then crum ple 'em up and use 'em for kin dling to start a fire in the fire place. They're not on the market yet, but the experimental samples look surprisingly practical. But even more amazing by products are looming on the ho rizon. Some stuff, for example, with a long scientific name that is called DMSO for short. It showed up first in the experi mental laboratories of the Crown Zellerbach Corporation. Among other things, it is an excellent antifreeze. In this ca pacity, it came to the attention of Dr. Stanley W. Jacob, an as sistant professor of surgery at the University of Oregon Medi cal School. He was looking for a way to supercool human or gans such as kidneys and hearts without freezing them. What he wanted was an efficient way of STORING them, so that they could be used as REPLACE MENTS like spare parts of an automobile. He and his assistant research ers have been experimenting with animal organs, which they have been able to supercool for long periods of time and then p them back into the animals so' that they work and function well. One female dog had a kidney removed experimentally. It was later replaced with a kid ney that bad been under stor age. The experiment worked so well that the dog laler gave birth to a healthy litter of pup pies. On the less fabulous side, i DMSO appears lo have highly interesting possibilities as a pain reliever, a tranquilizer, an anti-inflammatory treatment for burns and a wide range of oth er medical uses. All this, remember, comes from a TREE and an Oregon tree at that. It all goes to con firm that the possibilities of pa per plant waste which in the past has been a frightful nuis ance, contaminating our streams, killing the fish and generally raising Old Ned with our water supply are practical ly limitless. 250 May Die On Highways CHICAGO a'PI'-The nation al Sately Council estimates that as many as 250 Americans will die in traffic accidents during the 30-hour Chrilmas holiday period. The council said about K traffic fatalities would occur throughout the nation during an average, non-holiday period of the same length at this time of year. First Berliners Cross Red Wall BERLIN (UPH - The first West Berliners to cross the Communist anti-refugee wall since its erection 28 months ago went into East Berlin today on Christmas holiday visits. Tile Communists opened routes through the wall one day ahead of schedule to start the first of a scries of Christ mas reunions among East and West Berliners. West Berlin police reported a mother and child walked across the border at the Sandkrug Bridge at 2:10 p.m. They were the first to use the new passes the Communists be gan issuing today for Christ mas visits. A few minutes later, West Berlin police said, a man, his wife and two children walked across the Obcrbaum Bridge, where East German guards knocked a hole in the wall for West Berlin pedestrian-s Wednesday night. Police said both groups car ried the new permits. East German postal employes issuing the passes In 12 West Berlin schools today were al most overwhelmed by tremen dous crowds lined up for hours in the snow. They began handing out the first permits for one-day visits lo relatives in East Berlin at 1 p.m., but ran far behind a flood of new applications. At that time, 30,500 persons were lined up and police had turned away thousands more because they could not be han dled before the offices closed in the evening. A West Berlin city official met with an East German rep resentative, and they agreed to double the number of postal clerks who would be on hand from East Berlin Friday. Western sources said the new meeting showed the Commu nists already were realizing their aim of parlaying the pass agreement into a series of ne gotiations between West Berlin and East Germany. Dial Santa "Hello Santa," an annual program carried on through the efforts of the Klamath Jaycecs, will allow area youngsters to talk to Santa Claus for a final time again tonight. Boys and girls ran (ell Santa what they want for Christmas by dialing TU 2-55SI tonight. Jim Floyd, Jaycee chairman, said the jolly old man will be avail able by phone between 7 and 9 o'clock. Last night 416 Klamath County youngsters took ad vantage of the program to talk to Santa Claus. Many Gifts To Assure 'Merry Christmas' By RLTH KINfi The gayly wrapped packages, boxes of them, prepared by many willing hands, have been sent from the Herald and News editorial room to the Klamath Nursing Home for Friday alt e moon's community "S h.a r e Your Christmas'" party. They came from Chilo quin and Merrill, Maim and Tu lelake, from Klamath Falls and Bonanza, an outpouring of gen erosity that amazed every member of the newspaper staff ) The Western Allies and West Germany always have opposed such negotiations as possible support for the East German claim that West Berlin is not a part of West Germany. Wednesday 24,500 West Berlin ers filed applications for 50,000 to 60.000 passes. West Berlin officials reported. Most returned early today and they were joined by thou sands of others who wanted to file applications. Many waited in the cold for three or four hours, only to be told "we have no passes for you." Some were told to come back a day or two before their proposed visit. A West Berlin city govern ment spokesman said it was ex pected that individual West Berliners could make a total of three visits to East Berlin dur ing the 17-day period before the agreement ends on Jan. 5.

WASHINGTON (UPI) jected attempts to trim its money bill and moved toward a final vote on the meas ure late today and possible adjournment Friday. The Senate first rejected 55 to 28 an amendment by Sen. Wayne L. Morse, D-Ore., to cut $80 million from "supporting assistance," which backs up military aid. It then voted down 53 to 34 a follow-up move to slash $30 million from the same item. The Senate Ap propriations Committee recommended $380 mil lion for supporting assis tance and the House voted only $300 million the fig ure Morse sought. President Johnson urged ap proval of "maximum" funds for the program in a letter to (he Senate Wednesday. He said the need for a major foreign aid effort "remains and cannot be escaped." House Cut Bill Congress authorized $3.6 bil lion for foreign aid earlier this month, but the House voted to appropriate only $2.8 billion. The late President Kennedy had asked for $4.5 billion. The aid bill, which provides actual funds for another year of economic and military assist ance, still must go to a House fienate conference committee for final compromise to oe worked out. The $3.3 billion Senate total is $:00 million more than the $2.8 billion voted by the House. , Eye Friday Adjournment Congressional leaders st i 1 1 were hoping for adjournment by Friday night.

"You could lick most of them with ten Boy Scout troops," Morse declared. "It is a false assumption that such armies are any good." But Sen. Frank J. Lausche, D-Ohio, contended that "a cut here is to cut at a place where it is most unjustified." Sen. John O. Pastore, D-R.I., floor manager for the bill, said it would be "chaotic" and a "crying shame" to trim the supporting assistance fund.

The President signed legisla tion amending the 1SA2 Man power Training Act of 1962 to pour $527 million in new feder al spending into new job train ing courses. Johnson also called an after noon meeting with two advisers whom the late President Ken nedy had appointed to study the financing of a program to de velop a supersonic jet transport plane. Scheduled to meet with John son were Eugene R. Black, for mer president of the World Bank, and Stanley Osborne, chairman of the board of Olin Mathieson Chemical Co. Working On Compromise Black i and Osborne were named to study the plan calling for the government to put up 75 per cent and private indus try 25 per cent of tlic estimat ed $1 billion needed to develop a prototype plane.

It also would give states an extra year to start paying part of the cost of retraining courses and extend the entire program, originally three years, through June 30, 1066. The J962 act, first attempt by Congress to deal with growing joblessness due to automation and other basic economic changes, sot a target of 400,000 trainees it three years. Offi- . cials believe the expanded, ex tended program will be able to handle 700.000 persons, about a quarter of them in the 17-22 age class. Lower Age Limit The original manpower law limited youth training sharply and placed a lower age limit of 19 on the trainees. But new attention on high school drop out and youth unemployment statistics persuaded sponsors to shift the emphasis. The 1962 law made no provi-. ; sion for teaching academic sub- jeots to trainees, but one of the' . first lessons of its application was that modern industry de mands literate workers.
