New Filter Discs Speed Up Process Of Germ Detection Pasadena, Calif. U.PJ A new dollar-sized filter disc with 500,000,000 microscopic holes per square centimenter can re duce by more than two thirds the time necessary to detect a bacterial warfare attack, a Cal ifornia Institute of Technology release says. The high-speed apparatus was described here Friday by Or. Al exander Goetz to the final ses sion of the American Association for the Advancement of Science convention at Caltech. Cut Identification Time Dr. Goetz said use of three of the dollar-sized discs cuts from 36 to 10 hours the time needed to identify all germs in water and air except viruses. The filter solves the difficult problem of immediately separ ating the germs from their pois onous excretions, Goetz said. Germs then are subjected to a special nutrient that hastens the growth of identifiable colonies of bacteria. Goetz said more than 200,000 of the discs, developed at Cal tech now are being used through out the country to test water and air.

(U.R) A leading crusader for freedom of information believes the public should be represented in court by news cameras. To make this possible, he says, the press should demon strate to the courts that "this is a new camera age," and that news photographers should be permitted to cover trials with modern, soundless and undistrac ting equipment. These views were voiced here by J. R. Wiggins, managing ed itor of the Washington Post and Times Herald. Wiggins, who also is chairman of the Freedom of Information committee of the American Society of Newspaper Editors, addressed the Califor nia editors' conference at Stan ford on "Bar vs. Press." Quiat Cameras "The camera," Wiggins said, "can bring to millions of Am ericans who never otherwise will see a court in session the benefit of a public trial." He added that all press photogra phers ought to "live in the new age as well as talk about it," by using quiet, modern cameras at all functions. "As long as the only cameras judges ever see, at non-legal pub lic functions they attend, are the large boxes with clocking shutters and crashing holders and exploding lights, they are going to be hard - to persuade that this is a new camera age," he said. Wiggins conceded that "the time is not ripe for a rule that would require the admission of cameras to all court rooms." But he said the press can give the legal profession "a con tinuing demonstration that the camera, at least need not inter fere with order in the court room." "We are never going to con vince our bretheren in the legal profession that there are small; cameras that make no noise and fast films that do not require flash or strobe lights as long as we do not habitually use. these modern conveniences," he said. Outdated Canons The editor said he "cannot be lieve" that judges supporting the removal of laws banning cameras "are less conscientious, less concerned about the rights of accused persons, than col leagues who support canons and rules that smell of the flash powder used in cameras 50 years ago." Wiggins said the right of pub lic trial is not only the right of the accused, "but it is also a right of the public." A public trial, he said, "pro tects the accused against the un due severity of the court . . and protects the accused against undue lenity of the court." "And," he added, "it also pro tects them against maladminis tration, corruption, discrimina tion, tyranny and abuse of jud icial power."

Frost Hits Potatoes In Klamath Basin Klamath Falls U.R) Leaders of the Klamath basin potato in dustry Saturday were attempt ting to assess the. extent of frost damage suffered Thursday night when temperatures dropped to as low as 25 degrees in some parts of the basin.
