Coconut Milk
: ITHACA; N. Y (UP) Scien
tists at Cornell University believe
a research project on coconut
milk may shed light on the mys
terious' and uncontrolled growth
of cancer cells.
They have found that a coconut
milk solution makes certain plant
tissues multiply 20 to 30 times
. faster than normal in a manner
similar to the uncontrolled
vrnwth of cancer.
. ; In one experiment, the solution
. made carrot tissues grow to iuu
times their normal size within
four weeks. On certain other veg
etables the solution had no effect,
leading the scientists to believe
that some plants may contain an
x"anti-growth factor."
' Although the growth factor in
the coconut mut nas not yet oeen
identified definitely. Dr. Frderick
O Steward, director of the studv.
reports "we have isolated one fac
tor as being a crystalline suo
atance." i In an effort to , identify the
growth factors, the scientists have
processed more than 700 gallons
of coconut milk. They do not ex
tort to annhr the results of the
study directly to the problem of
cancer, out, according to aiewara:
"By understanding the cause of
1 abnormal growth in plants, it may
help in understanding the funda
; mental causes of uncontrolled
" growth in animal tissues.

Mechanical Mole
Used on Dam
MECHANICAL "MOLE" 18-2
PIERRE, S. D. (UP) A $300,
000 mechanical "mole" is digging
outlet tunnels in the huge Oahe
Dam across the Missouri river
near here.
The rig digs tunnels four to 10
times faster than any other ma
chine yet devised. It was built for
the Nittry Construction Co., Los
Angeles, Calif., contractor for the
tunnel portion of the dam project
The rig is a locomotive-like de
vice, with drills and vertical au
gurs on its face which cut the
shale and rock to the exact size
of the tunnels. The cuttings are
carried out from the tunnel face
on a conveyor belt The self
powered rig runs on tracks which
are put in place as the boring ad
vances. Within a 500-mile circle drawn
around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
lies more population and prob
ably more natural and manufac
tured wealth than in any such
radius of any other metropolis in
North America. ,

Jet Plane Can
Back Up With
New Device
BALTIMORE, Md. (UP)-One
of America's fastest jet planes
can back up! On the ground, that
is. -
The Air Force's Air Research
and Development Command has
announced installation of a "re
verse thrust" device in a Republic
F-84F Thunderstreak, listed as be
ing in the "650-miles-per-hour-plus"
class. , .;
Reverse thrust's real purpose,
in the air, is aa a brake to permit
aerial contact with slower enemy
aircraft or to slow a plane during
landing approaches, permitting
steeper descent On the ground,
reverse thrust can be used in
stead of wheel brakes or para
chutes to stop a plane's roll, thus
permitting landings into snorter
fields.
ARDC said its Wright Air De
velopment Center, in an experi
mental project had designed and
built two movable flippers and a
series of "cascades" around the
let engine s tailpipe. Tnese can
turn the jet of hot gases forward.

homes to tourists to make an hon
est dollar., ; ---:i ,
The latest issue of the West
German Tourist' association's in
formation bulletin offers accom
modation in a genuine RMneland
castle for as little as 78 cents a
day. , , ;
The association said some ot ;e
castles prepared to take paying
guests -"belong to plain knights,
others to princely families. 'V
They "are advertised as 'tourist
quarters extraordinary, and the
association said that about. 30
castles were available'to the4our-
1st seeking something different
Among them is 750-year-old
Krop Castle in the Palatinate,
where prices range from 76 cents
a day for a room to $L78 for full
board and lodging.. r
Higher up the titled scale is
Jagsthausen Castle,' the former
home of Goetz von Berlkhingen,
the famous 16th century "knight
with the iron viand immortalized
by Goethe as the leader of a peas
ants' revolt against feudal princes.
No Ghosts
Top rate for castle accommo
dation is $5.95 -a day for room,
bath and board. -
So far none of the castles is ad
vertising the family ghosts, but
the spectre of dwindling incomes
and high taxation is certainly
among the reasons for the decis
ion to turn the "stately homes of
Deutschland" into hotels with
built-in snob appeaL ' '
Since the war Germany's titled
families, probably the most num
erous in Europe, v have fallen on
bard tunes. Many of their money
making family estates have fallen
into Russian hands or been
collectivized" by East German
Communists. In Western Germany
the taxman, currency, reform and
tne aftermath of war; have done
the damage, s , j
rreiherrs, f barons and ' even
counts have found ' themselves
left with little bat their aristo
cratic wits to keep the wolf from
the castle door.
