Fryer I Today in Salem When Congressman Walter Norblad questioned government expenditures on a number of V Physirs. Chemistry and other scientific studies this week, he . listed a number of interesting -., projects whose titles leave a , HunhhMype expression on the average reader's face. For instance, there was the ! $13,500 allocation for "Analysis i in Vitro of the' developmental effects of Genetic Factors at the ; r Locus in the Mouse." A check of Webster's Unabridged finally ' revealed that vitro was a Latin term indicating glass and that "in vitro" means in glass or, more commonly, in a test tube. After wading slowly through "develop mental effects" and "genetic" factors, one comes to T Locus. After ruling out a typographi cal error that might have taken the T from the wrong end of the Locus, the dictionary was check ed. It didn't, list a T Locus. Locus, however, is 1 a place, it Jays, or if you'll take second U'hoice it Is "The path of a point or curve moving according to some law; the assemblage of all possible positions of the moving or generating element." Now with all that informa tion before you, the Capital Journal Is offering a prize of a i half dozen pop' bottle caps to tbe first person who'll explain to me what means an "Analysis In Vitro of the developmental effects of Genetic Factors at the T Locus in the Mouse." Rep. Norblad also questions the xpenditure of $8,300 for the tudy of "Inter-relationships of Some New Mexico Mammals." He's undoubtedly right. At least we should ask the New Mexico mammals. They probably won't like it (any more than the mouse will probably like having his T Locus analyzed) having someone prying around in their Inter-relationships. And if scientists insist on uch a study, why just "some" New Mexico mammals. Are we to persecute some with an in vestigation into their private lives and let the others go scot free? Perhaps we'd better in vestigate the scientists. , As far as looking into the "Vas cular Patterns in Petioles of Woody Flowering Plants," that will only take the annual income tax of some half-dozen persons. Really quite reasonable at $5,000. If you're wondering what it is, It's a study of the sap system in the leafstalk of said woody flow ring plants. At any rate, Rep. Norblad has best wishes from the bottom of my pocketbook in his search to tut expenditures (and taxes). A Canby woman won a bas ket of groceries for suggesting name of "Miracle Bridge" for new bridge across the Willam ette river in Portland. Name was suggested by the idea that the bridge would clear up Port land traffic jams and "anything that would (do that) would be a miracle." Portland TV sta tion gave the prize. Eugene Man Fined $150 In Jefferson Joe JohnTomich of Eugene ap peared in Justice Court at Jeffer son Thursday where he was fined $150 and sentenced to 30 days in jail by Justice of the Peace Mar vin Hutchings on charges of being drunk on a public highway and filing to remain at the scene of an accident. The charges followed a collision between a car driven by Tomich and a Greyhound bus on Highway WE, nine miles south of Salem. No one was hurt in the collision. L. J. Clark of Portland, driver of the bus, signed the complaint charging failure to remain at the scene. The other charge was made by officers after finding the car parked several miles away on Bat tle Creek Road. Bolh vehicles were damaged only slightly in the collision. The penally imposed for the charge of not remaining at the scene of the accident was a $100 fine and 30 days in jail, and for being drunk on a highway a fine of $50.

Here Thursday Residents of Salem and the nearby area donated 120 pints of blood at the drawing held Thursday afternoon at the Salem Armory. Goal for the drawing, which was sponsored by the Epsilon Sigma Alpha Sorority, was 150 donors were rejected. At the time the Red Cross Bloodmobile visited Salem in March, 102 pints were" donated. Wallace W. Wengenroth, 845 Sandy Dr., gave his 10th pint of blood at the Thursday drawing and joining the "gallon club" was Thomas E. Makey, 1079 Redwood St., who gave his eighth pint of blood. Mrs. Beryl Nelson, 1640 Bonny Way, and James K. Stewart, 2230 E St., completed their second gal lon donations. Special prizes were donated for the drawing. Mrs. Camilla R.

This may be followed by in creased house construction. Louis W. O.'Donnell, research department manager for the J. Henry Helser & Co., 'voiced this opinion while addressing the Salem Lions Club at the Marion Hotel Thursday noon. The speaker bases his belief on the increase ir savings and the tapering off in demand for funds for plant and equipment purchases. House construction has reached the lowest level in years, a cir cumstance that has hurt the econ omy of Oregon where lumber is one of the chief products. There are 7,000 less persons employed in the lumber industry than a year ago, said O'Donnell.

The case was continued for sentencing. The woman was accused of being involved in the cashing of $12 check at a Four Corners pharmacy. Charge Dismissed Upon the motion of the district attorney's office, District Judge E. O. Stadter Jr. has dismissed a charge of concealing and aiding a person committing a felony lodged against Mrs. Marilyn Marie Hahn, Rt. 2, Salem. The request for dismissal was based on the grounds of insuffi cient evidence to prosecute. Mrs. Hahn had been held in con nection with a polygamy charge against Harold Lloyd Brown who is being held in Salt Lake City. Brown is said to have married a 15-year-old Salem girl while hav ing another wife. He will be re turned to Marion county to face the polygamy charge.

Ralph Winegar, a substitute carrier who now is delivering the mail on Rt. 1, Monmouth, discov ered this during the first week on the run, for the sense of humor of residents of this district is strictly "the most." About a week ago, Winegar re ported the disappearance of a half grown nutria, one of 27 he has penned on his farm on the north bank of the Luckiamute River. No trace of the wily animal was found until Wednesday when J. W (Bill) Auer discovered it com fortably ensconced in a culvert near his home on Sauerkraut road, Bill reasoned the creature be longed to Winegar and that should be returned promptly, so he placed tne nutria in his large farm size mail box, closed the door and raised the flag, then sat down on the hillside to watch Soon Winegar's mail car came speeding around the bend and slid to a stop at the mail box. Wine gar opened the door and stared in disbelief for nearly a minute be fore he grasped the animal by the tail and removed it. "All Ralph needs is a good com fortable culvert to keep his nutria happy," Bill Auer said as Wine gar drove away.'
