The son of a banana grower, Dr. Campbell emigrated from Jamaica in 1922 at the age of 20. He attended Morgan State and graduated with a bachelor of science degree in 1925.

He taught in the city schools for five years before enrolling in Meharry Medical College, in Nashville, Tenn. He received his medical degree in 1935. After an internship at Provident Hospital, Dr. Campbell set up a private practice in West Baltimore. He taught nurses at the hospital and remained on its staff all his life.

Botanist says plants' extinction is ignored, seeks floral gene bank By MURIEL DOBBIN Sun Staff Correspondent San Francisco- Environmentalists dedicated to saving endangered animals are ignoring the plight of imperiled plants, according to a California botanist who is working on the nation's only floral gene bank. Dr. Harold Koopowitz, associate professor of biological sciences at the University of California at Irvine, pointed out that although only 200 animal species have expired since 1500 A.D., 200 higher plant species are becoming extinct annually.

"People don't think about plants," said Dr. Koopowitz plaintively, noting that since medieval times plants have contributed to the welfare of man by their usefulness in combating disease. For example, there is the periwinkle, which provides two alkaloids used as cancer-fighting agents. Yet there is, said Dr. Koopowitz, little attention paid to the fact that the encroachment of man and his developments, especially housing, snuffs out the life of potentially useful plants.

What Dr. Koopowitz is especially concerned about is wild plant and flower life, which he said is more endangered in the United States than in Europe, and in serious trouble in the tropics, where forests are being demolished at an estimated 47 acres a minute. The botanist predicted that by the turn of the century the only natural tropical region left will be the Amazonian forest in South America, because the forests of Africa and Asia will be gone. He noted that 20 years ago 75 per cent of Thailand was covered with forest and plant life, a figure that has dropped to 11 per cent. The island of Madagascar, once 90 per cent forest, now has 8 per cent remaining.

Dr. Koopowitz's solution to the problem is to set up gene banks in which seeds are sealed in a vacuum and placed in cOn. storage. As many as 12,000 seeds can be stored in a refrigerated box at a cost of $1,500, he noted. Other nations already have become concerned by the impact on plants which might have potential medical or food value, according to Dr.

Koopowitz. Gene banks already have been set up in England, the Soviet Union and Scandinavia, but so far in America the only effort made has involved a seed bank for agricultural crops chiefly concerned with food and fibers. "In my view, every arboretum and botanical garden should have its own floral gene bank. It would be a wise investment for man," he said. The first gene bank being developed by Dr.

Koopowitz concentrates on gladioli. The cultivation of the gladiolus plant is a $45 million industry, but only 6 of the 180 species of the flower are used commercially. U.S. falls short of protecting consumers from pesticide-tainted food, report says Washington -Federal agencies fall far short of protecting Americans from foods possibly tainted by pesticide residues, a congressional report said yesterday. The report, mainly based on year-long testimony taken by the House oversight and investigations subcommittee, specifically blames the Environmental Protection Agency, the Agriculture Department and the Food and Drug Administration.

Representative John E. Moss chairman of the subcommittee, said in releasing the report that the agencies are not forceful enough on control of pesticides, some of which are suspected of causing cancer and birth defects. "Because of the nature of chemical contaminants, we are forced to rely on the federal government to protect us against potentially dangerous chemicals we cannot see, smell, or taste," Mr. Moss said. But he said programs of the three agencies are inadequate and that "consumers cannot be sure that the meat, poultry, fruits and vegetables they buy are not tainted with potentially dangerous pesticide residues." An assistant agriculture secretary, Carol Tucker Foreman, responding to the report, said she had told Mr.

Moss's subcommittee that her department was working on new proposals to solve the listed problems and that some of the new procedures would be ready next month. The other two agencies criticized in the report had no immediate comment. The report concluded that the EPA's program to determine safe limits of chemical residues in food "is abysmal and needs a complete overhaul." It also expressed alarm over what it called the inadequate monitoring and enforcemen: programs of the Agriculture Department and the Food and Drug Administration. "The subcommittee found that even when meat was found to be contaminated with dangerously high levels of toxic pesneither Agriculture nor FDA could stop these products from reaching the dinner table," said Mr. Moss.

The report said Agriculture Department tests for chemical residues in food "take so long to perform that by the time violative levels of chemicals have been detected, most contaminated meat has already been shipped to market and sold." 6 killed in La. plane crash Bordelonville, La. (AP)- twin-engine airplane carrying a group of neighbors on a pleasure flight crashed into a concrete barn shortly after takeoff yesterday, killing five persons on the plane and one in the barn. Bethlehem loses contract for 5 tankers; Point faces closure as Hess rejects aid BETHLEHEM, from Al cy met only once since the guarantees were offered in mid-November, for three inconclusive hours to discuss a compromise. The passage of the deadline yesterday confirmed the yard workers' worst fears.

As they complete the final stages of two containerships at the yard, they are being laid off. A few hundred have reportedly been furloughed so far. A Bethlehem spokesman, G. Ted Baldwin, said that even if the contracts had been signed on schedule, "major" layoffs were expected by spring. Actual construction of the tankers would be delayed by several months while engineering plans were drawn up, he explained.

Now, however, unless Hess comes 1 up with a new proposal, laid-off workers could find themselves permanently unemployed. The conflict that led to this crisis is a result of the critical financial state of the American shipping industry, which has seen two major shipping companies file for bankruptcy this year. This trend has forced the Maritime Administration to be even more concerned over the soundness of shipping companies whose financing bonds it guarantees. The federal guarantees were approved by Robert J. Blackwell, assistant secre- CHAINS OF 14K GOLD! Classic flat "snake chain" necklace.

A sixth passenger, V. T. (Buster) Dewailly 3d, 18, apparently fell from the craft when it clipped a a a a a treetop, authorities said. He was taken to a hospital for treatment of severe burns from the knees up. The plane crashed about a mile from Bordelonville High School in this central Louisiana community, and some students saw the crash.

One student, Michelle Saucier, 15, lives on the farm where the crash occurred. She said her father, Burton, was standing by the barn at the time but was not hurt. "It sounded like an explosion when it hit," she tary of commerce for maritime affairs, a month ago, but Leon Hess, the chairman of Amerada Hess, objected strenuously to conditions imposed by the federal agency. The Maritime Administration believed that Amerada Hess would have used the five ships to carry petroleum products from its Virgin Islands refinery to Atlantic Coast ports, but had no written commitment from the oil company that the ships would be used at all, according to Mr. Blackwell.

Because of this uncertainty, the agency had asked that it be allowed a say should Hess decide to sell the ships. Mr. Blackwell, head of the Maritime Administration, had said earlier this month, after Mr. Hess's objections were aired, that the deadline would be extended "only if Hess asks us and we are convinced that serious progress can be made." Now that Hess has let lapse the guarantee offer, which would have reduced its borrowing costs substantially, the possibility exists that it could borrow funds on its own credit from lenders. However, with the prime lending rate hovering at 11.5 per cent, Hess would be subjecting itself to heavy debt-service costs, perhaps greater than i it would want to bear.

"We saw the flames go up," the Saucier girl said. "The school was in total chaos." She said three men were putting up rafters in the barn when the accident occurred. Arthur Bordelon, 70, was struck by debris in the barn and killed, authorities said. "My dad was outside, and it barely missed him. It hit my stock trailer instead -smashed it up--but that saved him."
