By Ruth Dean

The Republican women of the
District yesterday kept a cam
paign promise they made to
themselves in 1852.
A year ago when they were
celebrating Gen. Eisenhower
birthday with Embarrassing par
ties to boost his campaign, they
vowed that if he won they would
really have a birthday celebra-
ton.
And this is it," declared Mrs.
Howard A. Coffin, Republican
national committeeWoman of
the District, at gala luncheon
at the Mayflower Hotel.
1t was a sellout affair with all
the trimmings.
Mrs. Eisenhower was guest of
honor, Gladys Swarthout was
guest soloist, and four Republi-
can leaders were on hand to do
the speech making.
1t came. to climax when Mrs.
Eisenhower was presented with
a birthday gift for President Eli
senhower, who will be SO years
old tomorrow.
Mrs. Coffin presented the gift
to Mrs. Eisenhower with the ad-
monition that the President not
open it until tomorrow. Then,
she presented Mrs. Eisenhower
with a twin gift, announcing
that both were silver picture
frames, 80 you can have some
thing in which to put pictures of
those grandchildren"
Mrs. Eisenhower wore a plum
colored soft wool dress, with
matching hat, shoes and gloves
IN a darker shade, and orchids
sent by Mime. Julia Grant Cam
tacuzene, granddaughter of Pres
1dent Ulysses S. Grant.
Despite the jubilant mood of
the occasion, there were re-
peated warnings during the
afternoon that the success of
Gen. Eisenhower's program will
depend on G. o. P. victories in
the 1854 congressional elections.
The keynote speech was given
by Senator Dirksen, of Illinois,
chairman of the Senatorial Cam
paign Committee.
Il warn you that former
President Humans plea for
Democratic Congress is nothing
but a plea to tie the hands of
Dwight Eisenhower in the mid
die of his term" Senator Dirk
sen declared.
Recalling that a similar fate
befell former President Hoover,
Senator DirkSen called for an
about drive for votes and funds
for the 1854 campaign 80 that
a substantial Republican ma
Jority in the Senate and House
may be preserved and the Pres
1dent's program carried out"
Noting that yesterday was the
46lst anniversary of Christopher
Columbus discovery of America,
the Illinois Senator declared:
This is an opportunity to redis-
cover America and the middle
road"
Pleas for an about drive for
votes and funds in next years
congressional campaign were
voiced by Miss Bertha Adkins,
assistant to the chairman of
the Republican National Com
mittee; Representative Richard
Simpson, chairman of the Re-
publican Congressional Commit
tee, and Joseph C. McGarraghy,
chairman of the Republican
State Committee in and for
the District.
Miss Adkins told the District
women not to be discouraged
at not having a vote. because

conducted the Bikini test of two

Hopeful View Given

And Heart Disease
sy III. As.oeiat.d Pres.

A survey of where science
stands in the battle against can
Ger was readied today for a
congressional committee already
given some grim statistics, tenn
pered with a hopeful outlook,
on heart disease.
The House Commerce Com
mittee is exploring the status
Of research on many Of man
kinds major ills to determine
what further steps. legislative or
otherwise. can be taken to curb
them.
The committee yesterday heard
from DR.. Irving S. Wright of
New York, past president Of the
American Heart Association, that
heart disease will kill 785, 900
Americans next year.
Servicemen Stricken.
DR.. Wright said that 10000
men, during World War II, were
given disability discharges or
died in service because of heart
disease.
But the committee also re-
celved a statement from the
Governments National Heart
Institute, which prepared the
statistics, that:
"On the part of many medical
authorities and scientists there
is today confidence that within
the next quarter of a century
the Nation can master much, if
not all, of the untimely death
and disability caused by the ma
jor types of heart disease"
Echoing that, DR.. Wright said
in an interview that the statis-
tics he had given present a
grim picture, but on the other
hand, tremendous strides have
been made against heart disease,
especially during the last dec
ade."
Cancer Vaccine Seen.
DR.. Edward j. Mccormick of
Toledo, president of the Ameri-
can Medical Association, said he
believes a vaccine, or something
similar, will be developed in
about Is years to prevent or cure
cancer. He also said a polio pre-
ventive is not far off.
DR.. Mccormick qualified his
statement, made in an interview
after he testified, that a cancer
vaccine may be in the offing. He
said he based his belief on his
knowledge that some research is
under way in this field, but also
ION a hope"

BY Harry Bocos

In a downtown medical Office
today, a young woman carefully
placed a glass slide under a
microscope. After a while she
made marks on a slip of paper.
She was counting pollen.
This time of year she is espe-
cially interested in the pollen
produced by ragweed. While
different people are susceptible
to the pollen of different plants,
the king of the weeds is ragweed.
When the 'ragweed blossoms,
thousands of people get out their
handkerchiefs and cry. They
call it hay fever.
Doing So Since 1946.
The young woman is Miss
Mary Lou Prehn. medical assist
ant to DR.. Eloise Kailin, a ply
sician who specializes in aller-
gies. Under the auspices of the
District Medical Society, DR..
Kailin has kept track Of the
pollen in Washington's air since
1946.
The first ragweed pollen ap-
peared under Miss Prehn's mi
croscope last week-one lonely
grain of it.. Now the number is
increasing every day, to the tune
of coughs, drips and sneezes.
One day last year the count
passed 400.
On her way to the Office every
morning, Miss Prehn stops at
the Weather Bureaus main
building at Twenty-fourth and
M streets NV. There she climbs
to the roof. six stories up, re-
moves glass slide from a little
covered stand and puts a clean
slide in its place.
Back on the Office, she ex-
amines the old slide for whatever
pollen has wandered onto it dur
ing the preceding day. The pol
len adheres to a thin film of
vaseline on the, glass surface.
Using a mathematical formula,
Miss Prehn then calculates how
much pollen was floating in each
cubic yard of air.
Weather conditions affect the
count. A strong wind will clear
the air, more or less. Rain will
drive most Of the pollen grains
