Pope Renounces Artificial Insemination VATICAN CITY lf Pope Pius XII said Saturday artificial insem ination for human beings is moral ly impermissible. The 80-year-old head of the Ro man Catholic Church addressed nearly a thousand delegates to the second World Congress on Fertil ity and Slerlility. They came here to hear the Pontiff before opening a five-day congress in Naples Monday. The Pontiff made it clear that he referred lb the so-called "test tube" method of artificial insem ination. This, he said, must be rejected as "immoral and absolute ly illicit." The Pope recalled he gave a similar opinion in a radio address on Sept. 29, 1949. At that time, the Pope said: "In sofar as artificial insemination is concerned, not only must one be extremely reserved, but it is a duty to discard it outright. But this, however, it is not meant necessarily to prohibit the use of certain artificial means that aim cither at facilitating the conjugal act or at enabling it to arrice at the natural act that normally completes its proper end." Saturday the Pontiff said arti ficial insemination surpassed the "limits of right" acquired by vir tue of the marriage contract. That right, ho said, is one of exercis ing fully natural sexual capacity in the natural fulfillment of the I matrimonial act. The marriage contract, he said, docs not confer the right to artm cial insemination because such a right is in no manner expressed in the right of the natural conjugal act. Forest Service To Experiment In Cloud Seeding By A. ROBERT SMITH News-Review Correspondent WASHINGTON The Forest Service will soon start experiments in cloud seeding to see if it can reduce the number of forest fires touched off by lightning. Each year lightning starts more than 6,000 fires in western forests, according to Forest Service sur veys. In the national forests of the Pacific Coast states, lightning ac counts for about 42 per cent of all forest fires. The foresters have determined to attack the problem with the latest scienlitjc equipment. They have acquired a specially built mobile radar unit which is now being haul ed to Coconino National Forest in Arizona, where the tests will be conducted. Radar will be employed to detect approaching electric storms, track their courses and analyze them for later study. Some of the clouds in the storms will be seeded with chemicals and others will not and radar will assist in comparing the results of the seeding by com paring what happens to each storm cloud. Cloud seeding will be on an ex ploratory basis only. Silver iodide will be used, being projected from a ground generator into ascending air currents or from an airplane. The chemical crystals foster for mation of ice crystals, which in turn is expected to affect the light ning potential of storm clouds. Motion picture cameras mounted on fire lookout towers will record the life cycle of lightning storms. While experiments have been underway for the past three years on lightning-caused fires, this is the first time the Forest Service has used radar in forest fire con trol. The unit was installed on a truck trailer adapted for this spe cial purpose by the U.S. Weather Bureau. House Now Considering; Increased Mail Rata WASHINGTON tfl Tentative agreement on a 1-ccnt increase in letter and airmail rates comes up for formal approval Tuesday be fore the House Post Office Commit tee.
