The stripes begin as narrow lines, then widen, until the bigger stripes meet the first narrow stripes. In this meeting place of stripes lies the regenerative power to grow a new head, Dr. Tartar said. By skin grafting stripes from one sentor onto another, he can make the animal have two heads. The stripes themselves may not cause this growth, but rather may be- surface signs ofj the regenera tive pattern underneath. He can join two stentors as Sia mese twins. For a time they di vide to produce new doubles. But ultimately their control mechan ism takes over so the stentor at last divides into two normal ones. If he joins 10 to 80 together, they do not live long. But inside the mass of joined animals, they show signs of embryonic changes like these in higher, many-celled ani mals. Again the control pattern or mechanism appeared involved. This kind of probing into the whole, cell may produce new clues to cancer or normal growth, or new principles of biology. Dr. Tartar 'works in an 8-by-10 laboratory, built by himself out of ordinary siding, with a tarpapcr roof. His only expensive equipment is microscopes.

'(A A ber serk lumberjack killed one broth er Friday, seriously wounded an other, and held off 20 possemen with a deer rifle until his ammu nition ran out. Sheriff Larry Gillick said Clif ford Taber, 42, then slashed his throat with; a knife as officers, under tear1 gas cover, broke in the family's backwoods home. Mrs. Alice Taber, 84. mother of four lumberjack sons, witnessed the fatal shooting of Clarence, 56. She escaped from the house when Clifford shot his second brother. Floyd, 50, through the shoulder. With the aged woman safely out of the house, Sheriff Gillick's posse closed in under covering rifle fire. Sheriff Gillick said Clifford's only explanation for his angered shooting was that his brothers had called him names. i Gillick, who said Clifford would be charged with murder, reported the shooting started in a quarrel between Cliford and Qarence at the backwoods home, 22 miles east of here. f MOSCOW Communist Par ty chief Nikita S.

' In January the Central Commit tee of the" Communist Party de creed an end to strict centraliza tion and placed the, responsibility for a large part of farm planning on the individual collective farms.

If) -"There's lots of room "at the top in the banking business the Pacific North west Conference on Banking was told Friday. William Powers, New York, dep uty manager of the American Bankers Assn., said statistics show ed only Vi man behind the execu tives in banks with deposits under 25 million dollars. "Failure to develop adequate successor leadership is the most glaring weakness in current bank management," he said. Powers said women make up about 75 per cent of the non-execu- I tive labor force of the smaller banks and most of them aren't interested in banking as a perm anent career. The 200 bankers and business men from four : northwest states earner heard a report that the Federal Bureau: of Investigation expects an increase in Washington state bank robberies this year. Richard D. Auerbach, head of the Seattle FBI office, said the "alarming" increase indicated the need for better robbery prevention programs in the banks. 1 Approval of Four Alaskan Airline Routes Expected WASHINGTON W -i Speculation grew Friday that the Civil Aero nautics Board has recommended renewal of permits held by all four air carriers operating between the Pacific Northwest and Alaska It was learned frcm the office of Sen. Jackson (D Wash) that the recommendation has been sent to the: Bureau of Budget for action by the President. Nothing official could, be learned, however, as to what the recommendations includ ed. ' Affected are Pan American World- Airways, Northwest Orient Airlines, Pacific Northern Airlines and - Alaska Airlines. Each now operates between Oregon, W ash- ington and Alaska. SPOKANE t "Johnny." the typical school boy, is doing bet ter in school than most adults the Inland Empire Education Assn. was told Friday. "All this talk about Johnny and how bad he is isn't true at all," said Dr. Clenn Barnett, associate professor of education at the Un iversity of California. ' Surveys and studies are unani- j mous in proving that "Johnny has done well" and is doing progres sively better, in school, he said.! These reports show that five times as many overage pupils were in the classroom in 1921 as in 1951 and indicated that student arithmetic : ability had improved during the last 20 years, Barnett said. "Only in one field Is Johnny not significantly superior and that is spelling," he said. Another speaker, Dr. Walter Van Tilberg Clark, English professor at the University of Montana, said stress on reading and writing would lead to the most important R-reason. "If we can turn out pupils who are able, in an adult sense, to read and write, they will then in the best sense be able to contri bute to their own education. Clark said. More than 2,700 delegates from the Pacific Northwest states were registered for the final day of the association's convention. cean-Going Raft Seized by Cpast Guard OAKLAND. Calif, OH The Lehi II, a flat little raft on which three men; nopea to set out Easter morn ing to drift to Hawaii, was seized Friday1 by the government.' The Coast Guard took charge of the f raft and towed it from its anchorage here to Government Is land, the Coast Guard base. Lehi II was seized in an action' seeking payment of fines ofj $410 assessed, against skipper DeVere Baker of Petaluma, Calif., by the Coast Guard which said he violat ed 1 Coast Guard regulations. 'The violations were charged in Baker's operation of the original Lehi last year, when he set out to float across the Pacific oh ocean currents. But he didn't get beyond the' coastal currents, and drifted south ward along the shore until the crew was taken aboard a banana boat off Santa Barbar, Calif. SAN FRANCISCO 11 Climax ing a four-year fight for control over seagoing cooks and stewards. unlicensed seafarers voted nearly 4 to 1 for affiliation with Harry Lundeberg's AFL unions rather than with Harry Bridges' independ ent longshoremen. , The vote, counted Thursday, was 3,931 for the AFL unions to 1,064 for the: International Longshore men's and Warehousemen's Un ion. There were 327 ballots for neither union, 133 voided and 76 challenged. The NLRB announced after counting ballots in the two months election. r Lundeberg's union hailed the re sult .as meaning "the last finger hold of organized communism on American ships has been' smashed and broken." ' , Bridges' union, ousted from the CIO for left-wing tendencies, pre pared to challenge the election in higher courts. , j i LAS VEGAS, Nev, m Plans for two atomic shots Saturday were made by the nation's nuclear weapons testers after a forecast Friday indicated clearing weather. The Atomic Energy Commission said both the big 400-foot tower blast on Frenchman Flat and the smaller 300-foot Yucca Flat shot were being held in readiness. Pos sibilities appeared good, the AEC said, that conditions would be ac ceptable for either, or both, to be exploded. The main hitch might be tech nical, rather than meteorological. testers said. j The 300-foot Yucca shot is sched-1 uiea lor i:ju i. m. ine wu-iooi test on Frenchman Flat is set for 9 a. m. The AEC Friday released a pho tograph showing twisted remains of the 500-foot tower used in a March 29 blast on Yucca Flat This was classed as a major shot. The fireball of the device tested vaporized all but about 15 feet of 1 the tall spire. c What was left was a crumpled mass of steel at the base. The device was believed to pack a wallop of 20 kilotons, or 20,000 tons of TNT, the normal A-bomb power. 'Goes to the Dogs' HERMISTON, !

(J A jet-like. four-alarm fire whipped by a stiff breeze raced along a Navy pier Friday, charring a 350-foot section of planking and destroying a scow and three barges. So swiftly did the flames spread that two firemen had to be rescued from a flaming barge when the wind changed, and 500 feet of hose line and a hose wagon were en gulfed by fire. A small flotilla of Coast Guard, Navy, Newark and New York City fireboats and 120 Newark firemen poured tons of water on 1.500-foot pier 27 in Port Newark. The fire roared out of control for two hours. Tugs towed one ship away from the pier.
