Page 8, Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore., Sun., Teh. 13, 1949 Westmoreland School Ready To Use Monday Eugene's new Westmoreland ichool will be ready for use Mon day, except (or the kitchen and junchroom (which will be ready the following week) and the kin dergarten room. The kindergar ten was added to the original un its. Actual transfer of pupils to the new building will be delayed, however, Superintendent Clarence Hlnes has told Contractor W. H.l Shields, until sewer connections ban be made. Mr. Hlnes writes: "We have checked the matter of connecting with the city sew : er with the city engineer and have been informed by him that it will probably be another month before we can make the necessary connections with the sewer due to the fact that the city has not accepted the sewer from their contractor. The State Board of Health requires the clly to accept the line from the contractor before any connec- lions can be made. Mr. Clubb I (city engineer) has told us that j If It la possible for him to ae ' cure permission for us to eon , nect to the sewer main earlier ... he will let us know." Bad weather has delayed not only the city's sewer construction hut has greatly handicapped con struction at the school, says Mr. Shields. "However, I want to correct i a radio report that we would not i ba ready with the classroom un ! Its by February 14 as promised. We are ready. We could con tinue our work on the rest of Ihe building without bothering classes, If they were held." The Westmoreland school Is part of the program of addltlivni and Improvements financed oy last year's $200,000 cash levy for the Eugene district It consists of three classrooms and service fa cilities with ample grounds so that all the classrooms and facilities for a complete grade school can ba added later. It will relieve greatly the present overload on . the old Lincoln school. When the new Eugene High 1 School Is built, Lincoln will prob . ably be moved into remodelled Woodrow Wilson building and Woodrow Wilson Junior High Into the present high school building. laVOaUl INimoCKINo) Diamond Rings by Oranat They lock and unlock.. .always In perfect alignment.

Added Funds On Power Line Asked by BP A Supplemental budget funds for the Bonnevlue Power Administra tion's Detroit-Goshen (Eugene) line were requested Saturday by the bpa. The amount Is estimated at $1,033,000. . This request Is part of the $8, 072,000 additional being asked this year for northwest key line con struction protects and transmis sion facilities. The Detroit-Goshen line Is a project Included In the general coastal area requests which total $3,049,000 In cash and $1,323,000 In contract authorization, for gross $3,208,000. Dr. Paul Haver, BPA adminis trator, said the increased funds "are primarily necessary to pre vent delays in completing critical transmission facilities to bring new Grand Coulee power Into coastal load centers of Washing' ton and Oregon, and into South west Oregon. Current construction costs are nearly 20 per cent above the estimates upon which the ad ministrations 1949 budget was based." Southwest Oregon requests in clude $89,000 for the Reedsport Coos Bay line. Other coastal re gion funds asked Include Grand Coulee-Snohomish lines 1 and 2, $3,408,000 and Grand Coulee Columbia lines 3 and 4, $807,000, Mercy Supplies Barred by Reds BERLIN (U.ro The Russians have barred Swedish mercy food shipments to underfed children In western Berlin, it was an nounced Saturday. The banned supplies Included powdered milk for tubercular youngsters. U.S. Deputy Military Governor William T. Babcock, Bridgeport, Conn., said the Soviets halted shipment! by the Swedish Red Cross and other relief agencies to all four sectors a few days ago. Then, Soviet Deputy Command' ar Col. Alexel Jellsarov told the I Swedes they could bring in food for Soviet sector children only. The three western deputy com manders at once assigned 22 tons of air lift space a month to the Swedish Red Cross and each companion agency. The Swedish relief program was started two years ago by the late Count Folke Bemadotte to provide a supplementary noonday meal for nearly 30,000 children between the ages of three and six. Until this month the Russians had allowed the Swedes to truck tha food Into Berlin through the Soviet occupation none. Jellsarov told Bweaisn Mllclals tney tm will be granted permits on condi tion tha food Is for the Soviet sector alone. Birds have been seen taking baths when tha temperature was only 10 to 20 degrees above tero.

The I40th anniversary of Ab raham Lincoln's birth furnished party leaders an opportunity to counsel cheerfulness In adver sity, learning from defeat, and determination to drive to vic tory. Not all the Lincoln's eclebra Hons were Republican, however President Truman stood at attention at the Impressive Lin coln Memorial In Washington aa two of hla aides laid a wreath of gladioli at the base of the Emancipator's statue. The Ma rine band played patriotic airs. And. in a speech at Norwalk, Conn., Secretary of Air Stuart Symington cited a speech by Lin coin upholding adequate national defense as an Inevitable part of the discipline or the nation. At Lock Haven, Pa., House Re, publican Leader Joseph W. Mar tin, Jr., Massachusetts, called the Truman administration a "spend thrift government which closed its mind and heart to the real practical needs of the people." Republican National Chairman Hugh D. Scott Jr. declared at Bridgeport, Conn., that there can be no real cure for the nation's ills "Until the Truman adminis tration, this abscessed tooth in the body politic, is yanked out." Senator Kenneth Wherry, Ne- DrasKa, tne KepuMican floor lead er, speaking in Chicago, called on the GOP to expose "the shameful results" of U. S. foreign policy, which he asserted had handed over Asia to Communism. Massachusetts Senator Leverett Saltonstall told a Boston audience that the Republicans "have tried to appeal too much to reason and too little to emotion." Our program must be built on solid foundations, but it cannot be sold it cannot capture the Imagination unless we appeal to emotions," Saltonstall said. New Yourk's Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, unsuccessful candidate for the presidency, spoke at New York City. Dewey confined himself prin cipally to state Issues. He said New York should havve "the courage and honesty" to use Pay-as-you-go financing and "not rob our children of their birthright." He said he agreed with Deonle who complain that government costs too much. "All services cost too much because we have to pay for them in 50-cent, Democratic dollars; Dewey said.

Dr. Hugh PruetN- Path Traced On 'Fireball' Of Last Fall BEND, Ore. (U.R) The path of a rumbling fireball that blaz ed through southwestern skies and was observed in several states has been traced after four month's work by Dr. J. Hugh Pruett, University of Oregon astronomer. Phil F. Brogan, Oregon direc tor of the American Meteor So ciety, said the noisy fireball has been named the Red Meteor. Mr. Pruett said it was spotted at 7 a. m. Oct. 14, 1948. A joint study of the object was immedi ately undertaken by him and Dr. Lincoln La Pa'z of the Uni versity of New Mexico. The tracing of the fireball was as signed to Mr. Pruett. He calculated that the fireball first flared into luminosity at a height of about 73 miles high in southwestern Utah. Its path was entirely over Utah, and it dis appeared about 20 miles above the earth southeast of Salt Lake City. Observers estimated the fire ball at the size of the full moon. One added that it was as large as a "No. 3 Washtub." The fireball was considered unusual because of its size and the noise it made as it slashed through the Utah sky. The noise was heard by most persons di rectly below the line of the me teor's flight. Some observers re ported "an explosion that shook windows." Others said it made a rumbling noise. Mr. Pruett and Mr. La Paz received letters from 104 ob servers. Newspapers throughout the southwest co-operated in supplying data that made it pos sible for the scientists to trace the path of the fireball. The astronomers say It Is pos sible that unburned fragments of the meteor reached the earth.

And a similar warning screen across the whole North American arctic frontier is in the minds of Canadian and United States offi cials. Ton Level Meeting This came to light as Canada's Prime Minister Louis St Laurent met for the first time with Presi dent Truman. As the two men conferred, a House Armed Services subcom mittee approved plans for a $161, 000,000 radar interceptor system tied in with fighter plane and anti aircraft defense for this country. It would authorize outpost stations also. They were not designated. Have Some Stations St Laurent disclosed that ills- country has some radar, LORAN (long range aid to navigation) and weather stations already operating in Canada, and would like more. At a conference with reporters, St. Laurant said in reply to ques tions: Need More Bases "There are quite a number of radar and weather stations that are being used at the present time, not only for military purposes but for oivil and commercial aviation and other purposes." And the chiefs of staffs of both countries, he indicated, have separ ately discussed creation of a radar ring In the north. "We have seen several plans that call for so great an expendi ture tnat tney were Implemented there would not be very much left to do anything else," he said.

Chem ical properties of germ cells among young, mature, and aged individuals will be studied In or der to obtain more complete data. Applications of this data to oth er biological problems related to the differentiation of sex and the physiology of reproduction in ani mals will be undertaken. Largely Theoretical Research The research will be largely theoretical and will involve the use of laboratory animals. Through what Is called "tracer work," the animals will be ex posed to radioactive isotopes so that the scientists may then study the changes in the chemicals that make up the tissues of the ani mals. Work will begin as soon .as equipment arrives and special lab oratory facilities have been con structed, Prof. Risley said.
