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.
COFFEE DRINKERS
About 115,000,000,000 cups of
coffee are consumed in the U. S.
annually.
Marine Vets Hold
Washington Reunion
Washington (U.R) Veterans

Some 5,000 Marines who
fought from Guadalcanal to
Korea planned to gather at the
Iwo Jima flagraising statue in
Arlington cemetery to salute
their fallen buddies. Gen. Lem
uel C. Shepherd Jr., Marine
Corps commandant, was to speak
at the memorial service.
The Marines are veterans and
members of the First, Third,
Fifth and Sixth divisions.
Short Causes Minor
Damage to Plane
Minor damage resulted to wir
ing in an Air Force C-46 plane
carrying Medford area reserves
to Portland for the weekend Fri
day night.
Crew members smelled smoke
when the plane was about three
minutes north of Medford, asked
the control tower at municipal
airport for clearance to land and
that the fire department be
called. .
Medford Rural Fire district's
truck arrived about the same
time the plane had returned, but
only an electrical short was de
tected. The call was received about
10:47 Friday.
Danger of Forest
Fires Increasing
In Southwest Area
Albuquerque, N.M. U.R)
The Forest Service took addi
tional stringent precautions Sat
urday against the spread of for

The restrictions applied to all
the forests in Arizona and to
the Gila National forest which
covers portions of the two states.
Collins said the order will re
main in effect until expected

the fire hazards.
Could be Serious

ious problem if rain did not fall
soon. Fires have broken out in
Prescott, Conconino and Gila na

Washington Editor Supports
Use of Cameras in Coverage
Of Court Room Proceedings
Palo Alto, Calif. (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.
C. A. Henderson, Klamath
county agent, reported that
many potato fields were frozen
to the ground. Those that were
wet with recent irrigation es
caped damage.
It was the third instance of
frost damage this season and
was reminiscent of last year's
recurring, frosts that kept the
Klamath spud crop smalL
Other crops hit by the freeze
included alfalfa, already late,
and garden and clover crops.
There was negligible damage to
barley, Henderson said.
