"One of these days we will have to find a way to tax the interest on state and local bunds. "But 1 have never been able to support it up to this point because there is not so much state sovereignty left and tax like Long, in an interview transcribed for broadcast in Louisiana, said tiie 1969 Tax Reform Act accomplished much good by rmsing levies $7 billion on and persons corporations s , variety Now," he said.

Unique Dogs Help Scientists Study Process of Aging T LjlLlj Editor's Note Scientists are studying the aging process with the help of a unique strain cf Norwegian dogs. Harrison J.

The animal is one of 40, from a unique Norwegian strain that matures and dies in a time span comparable to human childhood. LL setter totters in An international team oi scientists assembled here is i ii studying the dogs aging process, hoping for clues that might help extend human life. The project at the Indiana University School of Medicine is funded by the U.S. Public Health Service and the Childrens Brain Diseases Foundation in San Francisco. The scientists also are studying three unnamed Indianapolis families who carry the same defective gene as the Norwegian dogs. Tn human beings the premature aging is called pro- geria.

It is not a. coldly scientific project. Dr. Nils T. Koppang, in charge of the kennels, grieves when one of the dogs dies. And he is responsible for their existence. Dr. Koppang is a visiting professor from the Veterinary College of Norway. He discovered two dogs with the age disease in 1953, near Oslo. He stabilized the strain through 15 generations of selective breeding. I love these dogs, Dr. Koppang said. It causes me sadness to see them age and die so quickly. But it causes me greater sadness to see the children with the same disease of premature aging. I think that maybe the dogs can help us understand, not just the disease of aging, but the normal processes of aging in humans, the veterinary pathologist said. This is not always happy work, Dr. Koppang said, but maybe some great happiness will come of it. The team agrees on a description of old age as a dark brown stain that spreads through the heart and soul of man. slides.

These are unusual cells. They do not divide and replace themselves, as do the cells of most organs, nor are they regenerated and replaced elsewhere in the body, as are the white and red blood cells. The loss of one of these cells is negligible, but permanent. These dark brown granules are packed ih the cells of victims of a group of rare genetic diseases which kill through a dramatic quickening of the aging processes. Some human victims have died of old age before they were old enough to go to school. Most human beings live too long to be good subjects for research on aging. It would take generations of scientists assigned to generations of their peers before much would be learned.

Autopsies The dogs are subject to blood tests and to periodic biopsies, the painless removal of small bits of tissue to study the progression of age. There are autopsies when they die. The team already has learned that the process which forms the granules cannot De reversed. Cells which have aged cannot be rejuvenated. The next step, already started, is to determine if the process can be delayed, at least in dogs and people for whom old age is a disease of childhood. Possibilities which will be tested include transplants of kidneys and bone marrow. A full range of pharmacological and biochemical experiments is planned to determine if a drug can be developed to block the results of the genetic defect. About $85,000 will be spent on the project this year.
