12 The Newi-Review, Roieburg, Ore. Thur., Nov. 3, 1949 Invisible Ray Of Light May Possess Power Of Life And Death On Earth, Savants Say By RALPH DIGHTON LOS ANGELES UP) Life and death on this planet may hang by so nebulous a thread as an Invisible ray of light. Two separate announcements, one by the California Institute of Technology, the other by the University of California at Los Angeles, brought this grim specter into the realm of scientific speculation: Sixty miles above the earth ex ists a heretofore unknown layer of oxygen molecules which mys teriously change the wave lengths of the sun's deadly ultra violet rays to Infra-red heat rays. This was announced by Dr. Jo- seph Kaplan, UCLA professor of physics. If some sudden piercing of the earth's atmospheric shield per haps by a comet or an atomic explosion should let that layer of oxygen molecules escape, life might vanish from the face of the globe under the bombardment of ultra-violet radiation from the sun. The effect of certain types of ultra-violet rays on living organ isms may be judged from an nouncement by Caltech's Dr. Re nato Dulbecco, who disclosed dis covery of "life rays" and "death rays" in his studies with invis ible light. A certain kind of light, he said, can kill a little-known bacterial virus, and another kind of life can bring the same organism back to life. The killing light is an ultra violet shortwave. The "life ray" is a barely visible light wave. The viruses affected by these rays, said Dr. DuiDecco, control the growth processes of cells in the human body. Destruction of these viruses, he believes, may AZ& -J v - ma Peace Restored At New Session Of Control Board EN ROUTE TO U.S. Klnuro Tanaka, Japanese movie star, arrives at Tokyo Air port to start her tour of Hono lulu and U.S., by permission of 8CAP, U.S. occupyinf authority.

UP) The Corsair, once J. P. Morgan's luxury yacht, was pick eted Wednesday on the eve ol starting its winter season as a high-priced cruise ship. Port Agent Charles Brenner of the AFL Sailor's union of the Pacific led 100 pickets. He told reporters the dispute Is over use of a non-union crew and failure to renew a contract with the AFL Seafarers International un ion, which expired in Septem ber. The company says there is a contract. The 1072-ton Corsair left Seat tle ahead of a picketing group last week. It turned up here, ready to provision and load pas sengers for a series of 12-day round trips to Acapulco, Mex., at a cost up to $45 a day. The vessel can carry about 80 passen gers. During the summer It operates between Seattle and Alaskan ports. Its operator, Pacific Cruise lines, has headquarters in Seat tle. Vice-President John M. Allen, said: "we are trying to find out what it's all about. We have the same crew as before and have a union agreement. The SUP is picketing Its own men." Job Office To Keep Own Civil Service Record The Roseburg office of the Ore gon State Employment service own civij service list for the hir- ic, ocuauuai ciupiuyillt-'Ill St;- curlty deputies to assist during rush periods. Manager George Foster said that In the past all personnel had to be employed through the Sa lem office. Under the new ar rangement It will be possible to conduct civil service examina tions locally and keep the season al worker list on file. Foster said that during the win ter months, when many people employed in the lumbering in dustry are idle, the work of the employment service increases. Last year the office staff han dled the greatly accelerated work without extra help, but he pre dicted that additional employes would be necessary to handle placement work. Qualification for the work re quires one year's experience In business or government work and two years of college, or the equivalent In other experiences. Veterans are given five addition al points and disabled veterans, 10 points. Persons once employed will be put on the preferred list for fu ture employment at this office or any other place in the state.

It might touch off a can cer epidemic of severe propor tions. The likelihood of such an occurrence is fantastic, he point ed out, "but within the realm of speculation." Dependable!

PEETZ Phone 27t 920 S. Stephens SALEM, Nov. 3.-VP) Peace and good will prevailed at Wednesday's meeting of the State Board of Control. Nobody got mad like they did last week, wlfen Governor Mc Kay, Secretary of State Newbry and State Treasurer Pearson quar relled over payment of Pear son's $160 printing claim. The board had 15 items on Its agenda, and the vote on each one was unanimous Wednesday. A $234,987 contract for a new boiler plant at the Oregon State hospital was awarded to W. R. Ransom & Sons. The board voted to allow the Oregon Association of the Deaf to hold its biennial convention at the state deaf school next June. Three business firms on the site of the proposeu state office building in Portland were given until December 31 before they have to move. That was a month more than had been agreed upon. The board said construction of the building can't start before April. The firms are William L. An gel Printing Co.. a tavern ownod by Clarence E. Butler, and Gil martin Furniture Co. The Allied Printing Trades council asked the board to put the counci'ls union label on state printing, which Is done by union printers at the state printing plant. . The board decided to ask the attorney general If It would be legal to use the label. Walter R. Dry, superintendent of the state blind school, was honored by the Federal Security aeencv. which recommended Drv l"to make a survey of blind schools In Texas. Texas had asked the agency to recommend an expert to suggest Improvements In that state's blind schools. Dry said, however, he couldn't have Oregon now, so will have to pass up the trip. Auto License Plates Must Await State Decision SALEM, Nov. 3. UPt The 1950 license plates are being mailed ot now, but nobody knows yet when they can be attached to cars. Secretary of State Newbry, whose office malls the plates, said the recent legislature re pealed the law which provides the plates can be used only after Dec. 15. But no new date was set. Newbry will confer with Gov ernor McKay and State Police Supt. II. G. Maison to decide when the plates can be used. Until a decision is made, the plates shouldn't be used. The new plates are supposed to last about five years, DIESEL STOVE FUEL BURNER OILS Distributors ot Shell Oil Since 1926 Try Our Oil Service , DENN-GERRETSEN CO. Phone 128 402 W.
