Page 12 University Daily Kansan Wednesday, Oct. 17, 1962 W. German Hopeful Of JFK-Nikita Talks WASHINGTON — (UPI) — West German Foreign Minister Gerhard Schroeder said after a White House conference today that a meeting between President Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev could be helpful if the Soviet leader is in the right mood. Schroeder made the comment as he left a 90-minute conference with Kennedy which apparently was exclusively devoted to the Berlin crisis. HE SAID that "I would not like to give an opinion as to whether a special meeting of the two leaders on Berlin at this time would be useful. Whether it would be helpful depends on the mood in which Khrushchev comes here. "Certainly talking is better than fighting," the foreign minister added. No announcement has been made that Krushchev will, in fact, come to the United States this fall. But there has been speculation he would attend sessions of the United Nations general assembly in New York Kennedy has expressed a willingness to meet him if this happens. Flu Epidemic To be Severe CHICAGO —(UPI)— There are strong indications that there may be another severe epidemic of Asian flu this winter, the American Medical Association (AMA) said today. No one can predict how serious the outbreak may be, the AMA said in a statement, but physicians have been alerted, public health programs have been outlined, and stocks of anti-influenza vaccine have been built up. Because of the vaccine, AMA spokesmen hoped the disease may not be widespread this winter as in the epidemic of 1957-58. The AMA said in the average healthy person Asian flu means four or five days of weakness and misery. But in older people and those with chronic diseases, the flu virus can be deadly. In the five years since Asian flu first appeared in America it has contributed to the deaths of 90,000 Americans, mostly by weakening the body's defenses against other diseases, the AMA said. Persons with diabetes and with chronic heart, circulatory and kidney diseases are particularly vulnerable. More than half the deaths in previous epidemics were in people with these conditions, according to the AMA. Pneumonia also accompanies influenza frequently. There is no cure for Asian flu once it takes hold, the AMA said, but in many instances it can be prevented by the flu vaccine. The AMA statement said "everyone over the age of 45 needs the vaccine and particularly is it important to those past 65 years." Kansan Classified Ads Get Results! SCHROEDER MET the President today as the high point of a five-day visit here about the Berlin situation. It is in preparation for the Nov. 7 visit of German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer. Kennedy and Schroeder exchanged assessments of the future Berlin situation, which American leaders have been predicting may explode into a first class crisis by Christmas. Schroeder said he was not a prophet. He added, "I would not wish to encourage a worsening of the Berlin situation by assuming there will be one." As for his talks with Kennedy, he said. "I am grateful to say that we are in full agreement." Hoecker Directs $27,000 Project A method of measuring strontium 90 and radium deposits in bones is being studied at KU under a two-year, $27,000 research grant from the United States Public Health Service. Frank E. Hoecker, professor of physics and biophysics, is directing the project to determine the smallest amount of radioactive material that can be detected by autoradiographic means. In the autoradiographic process, the specimen is placed on a photographic plate and the radiation in the specimen exposes the plate. The resulting "picture" shows the exact distribution of the radioactive substances. The project reflects 15 years of research by Prof. Hoecker for the Office of Naval Research and the Atomic Energy Commission. Two biophysics students are assisting Prof. Hoecker in the project. They are Paul Ruhter, Burlington senior, and Roger McFadden, Natoma sophomore. YELLOW CAB CO.
