On the dinci s.e the AMA'
The AMA's 121st annual conventio at San. Francisco drew a respectable
11,062 physicians to its scientific and postgraduate education programs, but
this was more than 2,000 fewer than attended the meeting in the same city
four years ago, and more than 3,000 fewer than came there in 1964. The de-
clining importance of the AMA annual was also reflected in fewer industrial
exhibits?some big drug houses didn't show?and in a paucity of ground-
breaking ,sCientific papers, Here is a selection of reports and exhibits that
seemed to arouse the most interest among physicians at this session:
Concrete steps
Methyl methacrylate, the cement ap-
plied to total hip prostheses, is equal-
ly useful in the surgical treatment
of long-bone fractures caused by
metastasizing cancer, according to
orthopedists at three centers.
In the Nist two years, 31 patients
with metastases, mostly from breast
carcinomas, have been operated on
at those centers for a total of 32
fractures and two impending frac-
tures. After bone curettage at the
site, the bones were fixed with metal
nails or rods, or were replaced by
Austin Moore prostheses. In each
case, the surgeons used generous
applications of methacrylate, which
has the ability to fill in hollows and
hold firmly to both bone and metal.
The result, say Dr. Roderick H.
Turner of Harvard, Dr. James O.
John'ston of Kaiser-Permanente in
Oakland, Calif., Dr. Kevin D. Har-
rington of the University of Cali-
fornia at San Francisco, and Dr.
David Green, now of the Bowman
Gray medical school, is "re-establish-
ment of skeletal continuity through
a combination of materials resem-
bling reinforced concrete."
Freed from what the authors call
'the terrifying prospect of enforced
immobility and poorly controlled
. pain': from unfixed pathologic frac-
tures, 29 of the patients were up and
walking an average of a week after
operation?though in one, the fixa-
tion failed and a second operation
was needed.
.The two who remained bedridden
were free of pain. Twelve of the 31
have since died of their disease, .but
several survivors are now approach-
ing two years of ambulation,
Surgical management of malig,
nant fractures is ,widely accepted,
the authors pointed out in their talk
to the AMA Section on Orthopedic
Surgery. But in a significant num-
ber of patients, they say, conven-
tional pinning has not been attempt-
ed, or has not succeeded in making
the patients ambulatory, because
the bone was deemed too weak.
A polyurethane polymer called
?stainer was tried some 13 years ago
as a fixing agent, but there were re-
ports of infection and inflammation
at the site. Methyl methacrylate, the
authors note, has proved itself "re-
markably noninflammatory" during
extensive; trials ill total hip replace-
ment ; in their own series, there
were no deep wound infections.
Potboiler wins prize
in display of intelligence
The CIA surfaced in San Francisco's
Civic Auditorium and took a gold
medal for the educational value of
its exhibit. The prize-winning booth,
manned by benign-looking Dr,
George P. George and severe-look-
ing John Foulke (right), featured
narcotics gear and a miniature pyra-
mid giving off a noxious smoke. This
was a weed burner ddsigned to sim-
ulate the smell of marijuana?al-
though some medical students who
took a whiff found the scent off tar-
get. Dr. George had planned to in-
clude $45 worth of the real grass in
the exhibit, but federal narcotics
men refused to let even the CIA
transport it across state lines so a
substitute had to be used.
"It's the first time we've ever come
out in the open," exclaims Dr.
George, who put together the drug-
abuse display two years ago at CIA
headquarters at McLean, Va., for the
inStruation of employees. Why did

On the screen
One in ten subjects of multiphasic
screening at the Kaiser-Permanente
facilities in Oakland and San Fran-
cisco is found to have some life-
threatening disease that is treatable
but asymptomatic at testing time.
In reporting this to the AMA Sec-
tions on Pathology, Internal Medi-
cine, and Preventive Medicine, Dr.
Morris F. Collen Of the ? Kaiser
Foundation Research Institute said
the cost of the ten checkups required
to identify the one treatable positive
case amounts to ten times $40, or
$400?about what it would cost to
hospitalize the same diseased patient
for four or five days when the condi-
tion became symptomatic.
In addition, says Dr. Collen,
middle-aged men who have had four
straight years of annual multiphasic
screening show "a significant reduc?
tion in self-rated disability and re-
ported lost time from work." In

the agency decide to blow its cover
at the AMA meeting? "We want to
show doctors how their local high
school, tor example, can assemble
such a display for under $400." Can
the medical profession expect more
such input from the espionage pro-
fession? The CIA would like to reveal
some of its research on the heart
under stress, says Dr rleorge, "but
we haven't gotten cif -ace yet."

WASHINGTON CLOSE-UP
Homcsge& CIA a #g Fi? Ironic
? The American Medical Asso-
, elation, which predictably of-
fers few surprises at its an-
nual meeting, achieved the un-
expected this year.
As one entered the conven-
tion's exhibition hall in San
Francisco's Civic Conte r,
one's nostrils were assailed by
an odor more appropriate to
that city's Haight-Ashbury dis-
trict ? an aroma strongly
suggestive of the burning
leaves and blossoms of the fe-
male Cannabis salve plant.
The scent fired the curiosity
of all in the hall who had ever
sampled marijuana and drew
from the wife of one physician
attending the meeting the re-
mark that she had smelled
that odor many times in the
back of the school bus she
drives.
That was only.the beginning
of the surprise. Following
one's nose, one soon came
upon a booth housing an exhib-
it on drug abuse which fea-
tured a display about many
drugs including pot, and a de-
vice that generated a synthetic
smoke that was close to, if not
identical with the real thing.
There was still more surpise
to come in this display, which
? it turned out?had won
the gold medal in the AMA's
coveted Billings Prize compe-
tition as one of the outstanding
scientific exhibits of the. meet-
ing. The exhibitor was no
mere doctor or pharmaceuti-
cal firm, or even your aver-
age, run-of-the-mid science-
oriented government bureau.
It was that most unlikely of
contenders for an AMA
award: The Central Intern-? .
gence Agency.
Dr. Donald Borcherding of
the CIA was on hand to ex-
plain the ? exhibit's origins.
Like most agencies, he said,
the CIA has . an occupational
health division whose job it is
to promote the well-being of
its personnel. When CIA offi-
cials at the agency's Langley,
By JUDITH RANDAL
Va., headquarters became
worried about pot, LSD, speed,
heroin .and the like, Borcherd-
ing and his colleagues assem-
bled the display.
According to the CIA medic,
it was an immediate hit, not
only at the Langley "Spook
Farm" but also among groups
in the community, such as
Knights of Columbus lodges
and parent-teacher associa-
tions. The CIA is thinking
about putting together "how-
to-do-it" instructions so that
other groups can build their
own replicas.
Gr ante d, the crusade
against drug abuse needs all
the help it can get. But the
trouble with the CIA exhibit is
that it does not tell things
strictly as they are. For exam-
ple, it implies that the use of
marijuana sets the stage for
later use of heroin. This issue
is by no means settled and, as
a matter of fact, there is a
good deal of evidence to sug-
gest that alcohol, rather than
marijuana, is the first drug to
be abused by most people who
subsequently become. heroin
addicts.
In any case, many experts
believe that if there is any
connection whatever between
pot and heroin, it is their ille-
gal status and that if the for-
mer were "decriminalized,"
its link with the latter would
tend to disappear.
More important to this dis-
cussion than an argument
about the casual relationship
of the two drugs is the point
that the CIA does not come
4
into the campaign with com-
pletely clean hands. Reporters
have been hearing for more
than a year that the agency
has been supporting the heroin
traffic in the Golden Triangle /
region of Laos, Thailand and V
Burma, and that this opium
byproduct has been one of the
more important cargoes car-
ried by Air America, an air-
line operating in Southeast t
Asia whose charter businesS is
almost exclusively with the
CIA. The Golden Triangle re-
gion, incidentally, is said to
grow 70 percent of the world's
illicit opium from which mor-
phine base, morphine and
eventually heroin are derived.
For 11101',3 details on the
CIA's complibity in the heroin
mess, one Might consult an
article entitled "Flowers of
Evil" by historian Alfred W.
McCoy, in the July issue of
Harper's magazine. Part of a
forthcoming book called "The
Politics of Heroin in Southeast
Asia," the article spells out in
detail how Vag Pao, long the
leader of a CIA secret army in
Laos, has become even more
deeply involved in the drug
traffic and what role this traf-
fic has played in the importa-
tion of hem-in into the United
States and its use by our
troops in South Vietnam.
Writes McCoy of the situa-
tion: "As a result of direct and
indirect American involve-
ment, opium production has
steadily increased, high-grade
heroin production is flourish-
ing and the Golden Triangle's
POPPY fields have become
linked ? to markets in Europe
and the U.S."
The CIA went away from the
San Francisco meeting with a
gold medal and, no doubt, a
good many doctors who saw
the exhibit went away im-
pressed. Some of them proba-
bly learned for the first time
what pot smells like.
But for others there was a
bitter incongruity in the gov-
ernment's super-secret spy
arm winning a medal for an
exhibit on the horrors of drug
abuse. To some it was a little
like the Mafia getting a top
award for a display of the
evils of extortion, prostitution
and gambling ? and a few of
the more socially aware physi-
cians present dM not hesitate
o say so.

CAREER SERVICE AWARDS
1. Thomas H. Karamessines, Deputy Director for Plans, has been
selected to receive the National Civil Service League's 1972 Career
Service Award for Sustained Excellence. In nominating Mr:- Karamessines,
the Director said in part, "In the sophisticated and delicate field

leadership in his display of administrative know-how in the dis-
charge of his duties to the country and to this Agency." Mr.
Karamessines will receive his award at the League's banquet on 28
April 1972 at the Washington Hilton Hotel.
2. The National Civil Service League's Career Service Awards
Program was initiated in 1955 to strengthen the public service by
bringing national recognition to significant careers in the Federal
service. In 1972, for the fi:ist time, the Career Service Awards
are in two categories: the Career Service Award for Sustained
Excellence and the Career Service Award for Special Achievement.
This year, eight top Federal employees who exemplify in an out-
standing manner the primary characteristics of career service will
be presented the award for Sustained Excellence; two Federal em-
ployees whose signal accomplishments have contributed significantly
to our national well-being will receive the award for Special
Achievement.
3. Mr. Karamessines is the ninth Agency employee to be honored
by the National Civil Service League in the last thirteen years.

In 19.72 for the first time, the Career
Service Awards are in two categories. In
this way, the League hopes to highlight
even more clearly the multiplicity of
talents at work in the public service.
While the Career Service Award for
Sustained Excellence requires 10 Years
of outstanding public service, the Career
Service Awards for Special Achievement
ire given on evidence of one or more
landmark accomplishments without re-
gard to length of service.
This year there are eight Career
Service Awards for Sustained Excellence
and two Career Service Awards for
Special Achievement. The 10 awardees
will be honored at an April 28 banquet,
where they will receive citations and as
yet unspecified material items.
The 1972 Career Service Awards
recipients are:
? Clarke H. Harper, Associate Ad-
ministrator for Administration, Federal
Aviation Administration, Department of
Transportation, forhis innovative finan-
cial management and skilled develop-
ment of budgets, one of which a Con-

Just before World War
when the Japanese were plan-
ning their attack on Pearl Har-
bor, William E. Friedman led
the group of U. S. cryptologists
who broke Tokyo's famous diplo-
matic "Purple Code."
The breakthrough didn't pre-
vent the attack on Pearl Harbor,
but it did give U.S. intelligence
an advantage over the unsus-.
.pecting Japanese in the early
.stages of the war. The coup also
_was typical of the late lieuten-
tint colonel's career as the na-
tion's most eminent cryptologist
for neatly 50 years.
Now, a wide-ranging collection
of cryptologic materials that he.
and his wife Elizabeth gathered
in parallel careers has been pro
seated to the George C. Marshall
Research Library at Lexington,
Va.

Both Friedfnan and Father Pe-
tersen Were among the scholars
who have attempted, unsuccess-
fully, to decipher the manu-
script.
The latter also incorporates
studios by the Friedman couple
on the claims of some scholars
that Sir Francis Bacon was the
real author of Shakespeare's
work. The couple's research in
this field uncovered no proof of
Bacon's alleged role and result-
ed in a book, 'rim Shakespear-
ean Ciphers Examined". .
Still another part of their col-
lection is devoted to literature
they called the "cult of unintrelli-
gility", or work of a crypto-
graphic nature. by James Joyce,
Gertrude Stein and other au-
thors apparently striving to con-
ceal their real meanings.
A native of Russia, Friedman
first was a student of genetics
and served as director of genetic
studies at the Riverbank Labo-
ratories at Geneva, 1.11., before
World War I. His future wife.,
World War II, call I:he 3,000-item whom he met there, was study-
turned Friedman's . talents to
eQ?,potography.
Rewarded by Gove.rnment
When World War I erupted,
the Friedman couple trained the
U.S. Army's first class of cryp-
tographe.rs. Later, Friedman
himself entered the Army and
soon became director, and chief
expert, of the nation's military
code experts until after World
Wulf.
Friedman was one of the few
men to receive both the Medal
for Merit and the National Secu-
rity Medal in recognitition of his
work. In 1956, Congress awarded
him a $100,000 compensation for
code-breaking machines and oth-
er devices that he developed but
could not patent and sell com-
mercially because of their secret
nature.
Mrs. Friedman, who still lives
in the District, later developed a
code system for the Internation-
thought to be the work of' the al Monetary Fund.
Friedman collection, "one of the int; the Bacon question, and this
most important and extensive
private collections of eryptologic
material in the world."
A gift from Friedman, who
?died in 1969, and his widow, the
collection ranges from contem-
porary and historic cryptology
to the couple's joint studies of
archaeology and the Bacon-
Shakespeare literary controver-
sy.
? Among the contemporary ma-
terials is all the 'published mat-.

great natienal debate over who
was to blame for U.S. ?lack. Of
vigilance at Pearl Harbor, as
well as material relating to mod-
ern cryptonalysis, cryptography,
secret writing and electronic
communications, and a handful
of simple hiding devices.

tion consists of the late Father

? -"It Is time for the nation
to create new jobs, particu-
larly in public service," he
said at the 17th annual
'awards dinner held by the
' National Civil Service
League at the Washington
Hilton.
"No one is stupid enough
to tear down that in which
he has a share and is part
owner."
Farmer spoke with Bibli-
cal vehemence and Church-.
Mien resonance to the din-
ner where $1,000 apiece
? awards were presented to 10
_ men before an audience of
. 1,100, most of whom are gov-
ernment workers.
He said he was just back
from a swing around college
campuses and the Watts area
? of Los Angeles where he
finds poverty still driving
. men to despair. The young
arid the. black everywhere
are asking the same ques-
tion, he -said: "Can they
share in governMent itself?"
"They are asking if it 13
possible to work in the Es-
tablishment."
"How can the little peo-
ple have a sense of parti-
cipation and a share in the
Nation?"
Farmer said that the mid-
dle. class Negro is getting
along fine and for the
educated Negro prospects
are unlimited.
"The black PhD has got it
made," said Farmer in a
tone of irony. "Any black
with a PhD can get a job
? even when white PhD's are
? out of work."
, But for every 10 of "the
_lucky, educated Negroes
? walking in the front door,
there are several times that
number of the poor running
out the back door."
I'm:mar said that the un-
employment rate in the
black ghettos is as high as
42 per cent with a 30 per
cent rate for unemployed
youth in Watts where riots
and burnings made head-
lines.
