Oil Havy Drain on US. Dollars
V
Import-Export BalanceAim of Commerce Office
WASHINGTON (AP) — Imports
of foreign oil are a drain on U.S.
dollar* and affect our gold supply
as do imports of any product.
The Commerce Department and
a Washington representative of
domestic oil producers agree on
that.
But the Commerce Department
emphasizes that in seeking to cor-
rect the balance of payments and
check the gold flow, it does not
want tot do anything that would
hamper trade with foreign coun-
tries.
f:x:Miss Orange
To Enter Contest
Sharon Arnold of Orange, a stu-
dent at. Lamar Tech, is one of 12
coeds nominated to participate in
*. contest April 9 at Lamar. A
representative will be selected to
the Fiesta of Five Flags "Mjss
Golden Anniversary of Naval Avia-
tion" contest,
Lamar's representative will
compete with girls from 34 other
southern colleges and universities
for the title at Pensacola, Fla..
June 6-11.
Miss Arnold, who was nominal
ed vby the Physical Educational
Professionals, was "Miss Orange"
of 1960. .
The winner of the "Miss Golden
Anniversary Naval Aviation" will
receive a $2,500 scholarship or
savings bond and an all-expense
trip to Hollywood, Calif

The department's gpal is to in
crease exports of products and
commodities without curbing im-
ports drastically.
"We should not choose any par:
ticular item of imports in connec-
tion with the situation," one offi-
cial said. "Imports of steel or im-
ports of anything else for which
money is paid out from this coun-
try would be somewhat of a drain.
"If we start cutting imports, we
can expect a reduction in export:
and It ii the balance we are con
cerned about." ■"
To the extent the U.S. dollar
goks abroad to pay. for oil 1m
ports, the balance of payment* is
affected. -
Presumably the amount, of d^l
lars going abroad would be the
value of imports brought into the
United States and sold in this
country, possibly less some ex-
panses. And the outflow would re-
flect such items as oil royalty pay-
ments abroad.
The value of all oil imports jn
1960 is estimated by the Com-
Brain Doctor Dies
SAN FRANCISCO* (AP) — Dr.
Howard C. Naffziger, 76, known
internationally for his pioneering
work in btrain- tumor and pituit-
ary gland operations, died
Wednesday night after a lengthy
illness. He was a past president
of the American College of Sur-
geons.
merce Department at $1,543,100,-
000. Exports of oil and oil prod
ucts from this country were val-
ued at $478,500,000 for the year,
making for an imbalance of more
than $1 billion.
Of the dollar value of ,1960 oil
imports, $895,000,000 represented
crude oil and $482,600,000 residual
oil. These figures compared with
$872,600,000 in crude oil imports
aod $454,500,000 in residual ail in
1959; These totals do not include
oil products. .
The Commerce Department an
nounced this week, however, that
the flow of gold from the United
States has stopped entirely for
some weeks. It said the U.S. bal-
ance of payments position has
shown "very substantial" iin
provement from the deficits which
caused a serious di'ain on gold
stocks for-more than two years
Minor S. Jjmeson Jr., executive
vice president, of the Independent
Petroleum Association of Ameri
ca, said oil Imports obviously
have had an effect on the dollar
and gold flow from* tlje "United
States.
Jameson said "the government
buys a considerable quantify of
petroleum products -abroad for
military or other uses and that
"when the gold situation came up
we asked the government for a
review."
The IPAA contends that a con-
tribution toward solving the situa-
tion could be made by diverting
a part of such, purchases to the
United States.

Brothers Are Guinea Pigs
For 'Before Bite' Vaccine
PHOENIX, Ariz. (AP)-Mention
doctors, shots or medicine ti most
youngsters, and they head for the
tallest tr£e.
Not so fot- three sets of Phoenix
area brothers who. were guinea
pigs in a 50-state research project
Which may produce a "Before

For- several weeks the boys

Wins Court Case
A verdict in favor, of the de-
fendants was returned yesterday
in 128th District Court about 5:10
p.m. to Dist. "Judge Homer E.
Stephenson in the suit styled J. A.
LaVerne vs. Moise Callier' and
Moi'se Callier doing business as
B. O. Sparkle's Club. •
LaVerne had asked $7,000 in
damages from Callier after a May
27, 1959, incident in which LaVerne
said he was injured in one of his
legs when an employe of the club,
while mowing, "ran the machine
over some debris which struck the
rotary blades and was thrown and
propelled with great force against
the leg of the defendant," accord-
ing to his petition.
Thefe was no activity in court
today because Judge Stephenson is
out of town on business. He will
call a number of compensation
suits Monday at 9 a.m.
Health Department, where doc-
tors gave them blood tests and
serum shots,
Scientists now are studying
blood samples taken from the
nervy youngsters to determine
what antibiotic affect the serum
had. If any.
To those who would term the
project inhuman to little boys, it
should be notted they all volun-
teered with their parents' ap-
proval. :.
Participating in the Phoenix
phase of the project were: Arthur
Allen. 14, brothers Craig, 12, Gary
15, Tommy. U, sons of Mr. and
Mrs. Donald B. Allen of Litchfield
Park; Edward, 12. and Tim Peter-
son, 11, sons of Mrs. Ruth Mann;
and Kurt, 11, and Mike Redfern,
13, sons of Mrs. Carol Redfern,
all of Phoenix. ; ■«.
Dr. V. H. Uekett; county health
department veterinarian, said the
boys, were injected with a vaccine
derived from chicken embryo,
called, Hep, meaning high egg
passage.
A similar vaccine, desigjjated
Lep, for low egg passage, now is
sold as a rabies vaccine for dogs.
Were the boys ever in danger?
Not in the least, said Dr. Uekert.
"But,", he* added, "there are
many persons who'd shy away
from agreeing to allow their chil-
dren to take part in such a re-
search' program."
NO one has even suggested ,it,
but perhaps these kids were try-
ing to prove who was the bravest.

Coast Guard Awaiting Break
To Send Aid to Islanders
MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich.
(AP)—The Coast Guard watched
for a break in the fog today so it
could send a helicopter on a mer-
cy mission to this isolated, weath-
er-bound resort island."
Residents wefe out of bread,
milk and produce and Dr. Joseph
Solomon, the only physician on
the island, said'an elderly woman
patient, Ella Chambers, 76, should
be in a. mainland hospital. ,
Fog has shrouded the island for
three days. ,

Burglars Escape
Texas City Jail
JAYTON, Tex. (AP)—Two con-
victed burglars forced an officer
to release them from the "Kent
County jail and drive them out-
side this West Texas city Thurs-
day night.
The pair, William Ray Perry,
19, of Girard, Tex., and Doyle
Moore, 24, of Spur. Tex., were
sentenced to from 2 to 5 years
Monday for burglary.
Deputy sheriff Richard Brown-
lee said the men used .razor
blades as weapons. He was"'foreed
to driVe them in a patrol car nine
miles west of Jayton. They took
a shotgun and a pistol from the
car and fled.
and lower peninsulas—has. been
cut off from the'mainland by an
early thaw. The ice bridge con-
necting the couple of . miles of .
water from (he island to Upper
Michigan has crumbled, but there
is still too much ice for boats to
cross*. The island's airfield Is too
muddy for planes to land.
A CoefSt Guard spokesman at
Traverse City, Mich., said Lt.
Cmdr. Lavine Hubert of Kalama-
zoo, Mich., would- fly the helicop-
ter to the island and survey the
situation. ,• .
If if was felt she was needed,
the icebreaker Mackinaw coirld be
dispatched to .clear a path to the *
mainland and take Mrs. Cham-
bers ashore. " ' * '
•Dr. Solomon said Mrs. Cham-
bers is suffering from glaucoma,
an eye condition, and should be
in a hospital. He said the situation
was,"jurgent rather than an emer-
gency" and that Mrs, Chambers
was "fearful about flying" so he
doubted she would be airlifted to
the mainland. $
Robert Doud, the island's mayor
pro tem, said there are more than
600 permanent re'side-nts on th* is-.
land. He sqid food is running lw>
but declined to estimate how long
supplies on hand will last.
_ Mail and other supplies have
been piling up in St. Ignace, the ,
nearest* mainland city.
Supplies and mail normally are "
delivered across the iee by motor
vehicles.
