EYES OP SLAYER 10 Man Executed by Firing Squad Bequeaths Tissues to Science Fifty Blind Hope for Operation 8 AN FRANCISCO. Not. 1. (UP) The eyes of a man executed by a sherUf's firing aquad In Utah for murder were brought here by United Airlines last night to be used In an effort to restore eight to one or two blind persons. The slayer, John Deerlng, willingly gave his eyes to science. Utah doe tors decided to send them to the anonymous Ban Francisco doctor who Is developing an operation In which the corneal tissues from the eyes of the dead are transferred to the sightless eyes of living persons to restore their vision. .Many Blind Hope More than 00 blind persons are waiting hopefully here for such oper ations. The patient or patients who will benefit from Deerlng's act have not yet been selected. On their arrival here, the eyes, already , packed in Ice to preserve them, wen placed In a hospital re frigerator where they will be kept at below-freezing temperatures. The success of the operation depends on keeping the corneal tlssuse alive, and freezing accomplishes this. The doctor, whose skill already has restored vision partially to three per sons, was not certain the long dis tance transfer would be successful. First Test "We wish to examine the eyes carefully, as this Is the first time sny such long distance shipment haa been made," he said. He Indicated, however, that If the shipment did not damage the tissues, sn operation, or possibly two, would be performed within the next day or two. The Rev. U. O. Harding, a Port land, Ore,, clergyman, was the first to benefit from the doctor's skill here. After tissues from the eye of a dead woman had been transferred to one of his eyes, Harding left for homo able to see dimly after 40 years of blindness. Two other persons also have benefitted similarly. ON SUBMARINE W LOS ANGELES, Nov. 1. (UP) A Mitnuartno voyage under the Arctic Ice floos holds no fears for Lady fluJin no Wllkins, wife of Sir George Hubert Wllkins. She said today upon her arrival from Sydney, Australia, that she. would accompany her fam ous explorer-husband on his north ern trip next spring. "I'm just here to fatten up for the trip," she said. "We will leave from New York in March. Sir Hubert la directing the installation of equip ment on a submarine designed espec ially to navigate under Ice floes." FORGETFUL LADY LEAVES TIP OF FINGER AT HOME SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1, (UP) Mrs Vera O'Hennsan. 65, arrived at an emergency hospital in two sec tions and left in one today. Mrs. O'Hennssn In person arrived first. Then, after a hurried trip to her home, & relative brought the severed finger tip she hsd lost when a door slsmmed on her hand.

(UP) Wil liam Rush, district director of the United States biological survey, said today after a return from a tour of game refuges that "the program of game conservation Is bearing fruit." He said there are about 500,000 ducks at Malheur lake and 200,000 geose. The' Sacramento valley rofugo and Tule lake have tho biggest con centration In years, he added. "Oregon and California hunters are having good shooting," Rush de clared, "The public shooting section of the Tule lake refuge Is being visited by about 1.000 hunters daily. The flights of birds are denser this year than ever before."

Among the high points of Interest In the cars with which Oldsmoblle starts Its 42nd model year ae: Addition to the line of a brand new six cylinder car which brings Oldsmoblle quality to the low price field. Introduction on all models of the "rhythmic ride," a new perfection of road ability and riding comfort resulting from quadrl-coll springing In combination with four separate stabilizing factors built Into the chassis. Attainment of perfect steering ge ometry through a new hook-up em ploying a relay link with twin tie rods of equal length, termed "dual center-control steering." Introduction of handl - shift as standard equipment a replacement of the conventional gear shift lever by a short, horizontal manual shift arm on the steering column. Continuation as an optional extra on all models of Oldsmobtle's auto matic safety transmission which pro vides Important added advantages In performance, operating economy and ease of control. The low priced six. known as the Series Sixty, la powered with a newly developed "econo-master" engine of 00 brake horsepower designed to pro vide top flight performance at mini mum operating cost. A large six. developing 05 horsepower and with a wheelbase of 120 Inches, is desig nated the Series Seventy, while the 110 horsepower straight eight on the same wheel base has been named the Series Eighty. All three series bear a general resemblance In the graceful treat ment of flaring, low-valanced fenders, smartly tailored metal trim, smoothly contoured all-steel turret top bodies and safety steel wheels with massive chromed hub caps. The front end of tho hood curves downward to meet the narrow, die-cast radiator grille, creating a fleet, close-to-the-road Impression and affording the driver a marked advantage in foreground visibility. The aprons on either side of tho radiator grlllo carry low, bullet typo headlamps, recrmed above hori zontal chromo louvers which provide additional nlr Inlets for efficient en gine cooling. Among tho. many new Oldsmoblle developments for 1030, tho one which probably will draw major attention la the "rhythmic ride" and the means by which it has been achieved. The "rhythmic ride," according to Rook Emerson of the Medford garage, offers an entirely new cencoptton of motor X TO question about It .

MEDFORD ing comfort which results from the absolute control maintained over the action of the "quadrt-coU" springs by the various stabilizing devices de signed and built Into the cnassis. Coll springs now are employed both front and rear. The front wheels are Individually sprung (knee - action), while a traverse axle connects the rear wheels. All four of the coll springs have a constant rate of deflection a feature impossible of attainment with leaf springs because of lubrication and friction variables. With four coll springs, however, en gineers previously have encountered difficulty In controlling the roll and sway which are Inherent In the ac tion of this type of spring. To control this tendency, Oldsmoblle engineers have developed the following stabil izing factors: Vertical or up and down movement of the car body Is restrained by dou ble action hydraulic' shock absorbers of a new and more effective type. Pore and aft movement Is pre vented by two sturdy stabilizing arms which grip the rear axle close to the wheels and are pivot-anchored to the frame cross-member about halfway forward on the chassis. Side to side motion is blocked bp a lateral stabilizer arm at the rear of the chassis. One end la fastened to the axle and the other to the frame. The tendency of a car to roll or sway on curves la resisted In the new Oldsmobiles by a spring steel stabilizer bar at the front of the chassis. All four of the stabilizing units of the chassis are rendered perma nently silent by being cushioned in rubber. And, since coll springs have no friction points and require no lubrication. Mr. Emerson points out that the 1030 Oldsmoblle "rhythmic ride" Is a permanent, bullt-ln feature that will last unchanged for the life of the car. POLICE RADIOMAN BEND, Ore.,. Nov. J. (TJIM Wil liam R. Patton, chief technician of the short-wave radio division ope rated Jointly by the state police and highway departments, suffered a badly crushed leg when he was struck by an automobile on The Dalles-California highway seven miles north of here last night. Traveling south, Patton came upon an automobile wreck in which a car and truck were involved, but In which no one was hurt. He started to set up his portable short-wave broadcasting outfit to call for a wrecking car to aid those involved In the collision, when a machine driven by the Rev. O. W. Reynolds of Silver Lake came along. Rain had made the road slick, and tho Rev. Reynolds was unable to stop his car before It struck Pat ton, who was brought to a Bend hospital.
