PAGE TEN MEDFORD MSIE TRTBTOTE, MEDFORD, OREGON. "WEDNESDAY, JUNE 261935. SAYS SCIENTIST Refuses to Discuss Causes of Decrease Evidence Gathered In All Ameri can Cities Over 25,000 By CAM, RITB United Press Staff Correspondent MINNEAPOLIS. June 26.( UPl The American association for the ad vancement of science learned tonight the birth rate among Catholic fami lies Is dropping "almost sensation ally." Professor 8. A. Btouffer of the Uni versity of Wisconsin, appearing before the association's section on social and economic sciences, said the Catholic birth rate Is falling three times as fast as In proteBtant homes. His evidence, he said, was based on a survey of 40,768 families through out Wisconsin, particularly urban. Scientists arose at conclusion of his talk to ask whether he attributed the sharp drop In Cathollo births to dis semination of literature explaining the so-cslled "rhythm" system of birth control. The "rhythm" system, referred to by Its exponents as a "natural means of birth spacing." has general ap proval of the Cathollo church. "I would not want to venture an opinion on the causes of this decline In Catholic family births." Professor Btouffer said. "It Is a highly debat able subject and I prefer not to go beyond what my data actually shows. "Whether Catholic families are using birth control or aro resorting to continence cannot be proved from this evidence." Professor Btouffer pointed out that, dreplte the failing birth rate among Catholics, their families still are larger, on the average, than others. His survey showed that 100 "aver age couples" married by Cathullc priests In Milwaukee during 1010 and 1020 had 301 children In the first seven years of marriages, while 100 Catholic couples married In 1925 and 1028 hsd only 171 children, a 18 per cent decline. The decline In the birthrate among non-Catholic families in Milwaukee wss only five per cent, he added. "In other Wisconsin cities the Catholic decline was somewhat great er," he said. "Polish and Italian Cath ollo families reduced their birthrates about the same as German and Irish Catholics." Added to his personal studios In Wisconsin. Professor Btouffer had evi dence covering all American cities of 3.1.000 population and more. These figures revealed that birth rates dropped most rapidly In cities whero a largo percentage of catholic population and "far less rapidly" In cities with a Bmall percentage of Catholics. The decline In "Inrge Catholic fami lies" started shortly after the World war, the professor said, but did not tart Its "almost sensational" drop until about 1025.

One other lumber company waa preparing to resume "slow bell" ope rations later In the day. No unusual Incident occun-ed as about 20 men In each of the five mills reported for work. The 100 (state patrolmen ordered mobilized In Portland for duty were held at state police headquarters here. As far as could be learned, none Of the seven operators who previously had announced they would place men at work today planned Imme diate extensive operations, appar ently preferring to proceed slowly In the hope the Sawmill and Timber Workers' union, despite Its emphatic refusal of the employers four-point offer at a mass -meet tag last night, might yet see fit to accept the terms aa a basis of negotiations.

Although other mer chandise may have been stolen, a quick check-up revealed only the puna mlwiiig this morning. The front door of the store had been broken open with a "Jlmmle." Poltc are working on the theory that the Intrusion was commuted by the same person, or pontons, who have committed similar robberies here and in Oold Hill during the winter. when she asked the reason for this action, Waley told her: "Don't ak any questions. Just do what I tell you." Then Mahan eame out of the woods and the trio drove to Ellensburg, whereupon, Dore said Mrs. Waley ex plained: "I heard a voice from the rear of the car say: " 'Hey. mister, can I got out now? "I asked them who that was. They told me to mind my own business. '"I think that's the Weyerhaeuser boy,' I told them, and again they told me to mind my own business. "Harmon then asked Mahan why he had brought me along and Mahan replied: " 'Well, she'll have to get broken In some time, won't she?'" In Spokane, Dore said Mrs, Waley : told him, she rented a house they had occupied previously, adding that "I never saw the boy and ho never saw mo." i The woman's story, as revealed by I her attorney.

The, story as revealed by Dore fol lowed the line Waley took when he was pleading to Judge E. E. Cuehman J In his wife's behalf during their nr- relgn men t In Tacoma. Dore Mid Wa ley will be called from McNeil Islnnd prlaon to free his wife by a confes sion, btu that the defense will not call George Weyerhaeuser. TACOMA, June 26.
