Principles,
Biochemistry Used To
Study Birth Defects
The United States Public
Health Service has granted
$38,714 to the Graduate Re-
search of Asst. Prof. Winfrid
Krone of the Division of Gene-
tics into birth defects caused
by accidental imbalance of
chromosomes.
Professor Krone will apply
the principles of two sciences,
biochemistry and genetics, to
the studies of abnormal human
cells.
One main object of this study
will be mongolism, a congeni-
tal disease which inflicts on
the child serious mental retar-
dation. According to Medical
Genetics, mongolism occurs in
about 1 out of 650 births.
Another publication, The Child
with Mongolism, states that
among mothers 20 to 24, the
frequency is 1.25 per 1,000
per 1,000; and 4d and over, the
frequency is 91 per 1,000.
Professor Krone will depart
from traditional studies ot mon-
golism. It is already known that
normal human cells contain 46
chromosomes. A child with this
hereditary disease has 47 chro-
mosomes in each cell. The
chromosomes carry genes, the
hereditary factors transmitted
by parents to their children.
Each gene contains funda-
mental information necessary
for the formation of other bod-
ily characteristics. If a child
has an extra chromosome, this
upsets the delicate balance of
biochemical reactions which are
the basis of all living activity,
including mental capacity.
Dr. Krone will try to identify
the biochemical reactions which
go astray as a result of chromo-
some abnormalities or imbal-
ance. His attack requires both
biological and chemical tech-
niques.

Swindlers Using
Health Insurance
As New Target
"Swindlers are already at
work involving Social Security
Health Insurance Benefits,"
John E. Dickenson, Dallas
District Manager has warned.
Persons impersonating Social
Security Representatives have
contacted people in Dallas and
San Antonio offering health in-
surance protection under So-
cial Security at a cheaper rate
if they sign up immediately
rather than at a later date.
"If you are approached by
anyone attempting this swindle,
call the Social Security District
Office, the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, and the local po-
lice giving a full description of
the persons contacting you,"
Dickenson said.
The Social Security District
Office telephone number is
