In The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
A while back an assistant pro
fessor of forest products at Ore
gon State University who was
making a talk lo the Corvallis
Chamber of Commerce re
marked that Oregon's trees
may some day become so valu-able-CIffi.MICALLY
that it may
be uneconomical to use them
for anything so ordinary as lum
ber. 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

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.

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.

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. ,

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

cials believe the expanded, ex

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

shift the emphasis.
The 1962 law made no provi-. ;
