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.

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

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

'We Can Win
In '50 Chant
GOP Orators
By The Associated Press
Republican orators sounded the
battlecry, "We can win in 1950,"
In Lincoln Day gatherings Satur
day from coast to coast.
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.

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.

Radar Net Studied
WASHINGTON W A plan
to wrap the United States and
Alaska in a radar network against
sudden air attacks advanced in
Congress Saturday.
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.

The project Is aimed toward the
discovery of facts pertaining to
the sensitivity of germ cells to ra
raiation, and to finding reasons
why this sensitivity results in
damage leading to sterility. Chem
ical properties of germ cells
among young, mature, and aged
individuals will be studied In or

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
