during burial services lor earthquake victims whose bodies
have been recovered from the city's ruins. Ambato, a city of
20,000, was in the center of the 4000-square-mile area of this

School buses stopped along
the roadwav to load or unload
passengers must be regarded the
same is stop signs, the traffic
division of the secretary of
state's office reminded today.
The new law calls for forma
tion of a new driving habit on
the part of Oregon motor ve
hide operators when schools re
open next month, safety officials
observed.
Under terms of Oregon's new
school bus stopping law enacted
by the 1949 legislature, all ve
hides must come to a complete
stop when meeting or overtak
ing a school bus on a two lane
highway that has stopped to
load or unload children. Under
the act, vehicles may not pro
ceed "if and so long as any
school children are leaving the
school bus or crossing the high
way."
Before this law went into ef
fect, school buses could be pass
ed by other vehicles without
stopping, provided speed was
held to a maximum of 15 miles
an hour.
The new law exempts from
stopping only those vehicles on
the far side of a four-lane high
way traveling in the opposite
direction. The safety division
pointed out that similar laws are
in effect in at least 20 other
states, including the other two
Pacific coast states, Washington
and California.

PLANS TO DOUBLE RECORD
Otis Barton Ready
6000-Foot Drop
for
in Pacific
San Pedro. Calif., Aug. 13 (U.R) Scientist Otis Barton was ready
today to drop 6,000 feet into the' dark Pacific, nearly twice the
existing record, to explore the depths in his "benthoscope."
The benthoscope is a steel balls-
five feet across designed to with
stand pressures far in excess of
the 27,000,000 pounds expected
6,000 feet down. The contrap
tion was equipped with wheels
to roll along the ocean floor.
But if Barton was wrong in
his calculations, the tremendous
pressure might crush the benth
oscope like an egg despite us
114 -inch steel walls.
For that reason, it will be
lowered .twice with instruments
and cameras before the 48-year-old
Boston scientist goes down
in it.
Barton and his assistants left
San Pedro yesterday morning
for the Santa Cruz basin test
grounds about 50 miles off the
California coast near Santa Bar
bara.
They were aboard the Velero
IV, a floating laboratory belong
ing to the Allen Hancock foun
dation which is supporting the
experiment.
People all over the world are
becoming more interested in the
ocean because it is realized that
this will be an extremely valu
able source of food supply in the
future," an institute statement
sadi.
"From data available at the
present time, it seems that the
ocean is much more fertile for
growing foodstuffs than most
farms on land.
"It is also realized that there
are probably as many, or more
oil deposits as there are on the
mainlands."
Barton is co-holder of the ex
isting depth record. In 1934, he
and Dr. William Beebe dived
3,028 feet in their "Bathy
sphere." The bathysphere later
was used in naval experiments
during the war and now is in the
Smithsonian Institution at Washington.
The Benthoscope, designed by
Barton, is a steel sphere 57 'A
inches in diameter and large
enough to hold two men; Its
walls are thickest near open
ings or windows to eliminate
stress concentrations and pos
sible cracking.
It was designed for a max!
mum depth of more than 10,
000 feet.

Fat Men as Best Husbands,
School Teachers Best Wives
Buffalo, N. Y Aug. 13 VP) Fat men make the best hus
bands, and school teachers the best wives.
That's the word from the director of the national institute
for human relations.
Dr. James F. Bender of New York City declared at the
closing summer session convocation of Buffalo State Teachers
college yesterday:
The fat man is the least likely to want a divorce, he is a
tender and faithful lover and he is more easily persuaded In
wash the dishes and get up at night to look at the baby.
Bender, who thinks he's the "roly-poly type" himself, had
this to say to maritally inclined gentlemen:
'School teachers love children and they make good mothers
. . . teachers are well adjusted personalities as a rule and
are less inclined to be neurotic than the average American
women."
Furthermore, he said when a woman has been giving class
room lectures all day long, she returns home at night too tired
to talk, this is "sheer heaven" to most married males.
