No Increase Seen In BPA Rates for Ai Least 7 Years Portland (U.R) A research firm reported today after a sur vey that there should be no in crease in rates of the Bonneville Power Administration for at least seven years. The nine-month survey was conducted by Ford, Bacon & Davis, Inc., a New York firm. Comfortable Surplus Researchers said BPA already has a "comfortable surplus" and the estimated revenues for- each of the fiscal years 1956 through 1S63 exceed the cash payout re quirements. Also recommended was reten tion of the principle which al lows the same rate structure in all areas served by BPA and dis continuation of a departure from this. This is the special "at site" rates to customers taking delivery at the site of power projects. The firm also suggested elem ination of a stipulation that all "E-4" rate users buy at least 90 per cent of their power from EPA to qualify for a low rate. E-4 is the rate allowed purchas ers of firm power for resale. Special low cost rates for irri gation also should be eliminated, the report said. Agreement Slated An agreement with utility and industrial customers should be instituted which would average out over five years excessive costs of steam used in critical power shortage periods, the re port said. 5 Dr. William Pearl, BPA ad ministrator, said streamlining of EPA rate scheduled and struc tures would "undoubtedly meet some opposition" but that it was hoped agreements would be ar rived at which would eventually benefit all customers.

(International) Kitchen Blender Ideal for Grinding Up Human Bones for Transplant Operations By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York (U.R) A coffee grinder didn't do. Nor did a pencil sharpener. But the three surgeons weren't discouraged. They tried a kitchen blender next and found it was ideal for grinding up human bone for transplanting in human bodies. The American College of Sur geons is informing surgeons everywhere of this refinement in the techniques of bone graft- Judge Calls New Panel of Jurors For Abbott Trial Mental Health Said Aim of Guidance Clinic in City The advancement of mental health in Jackson county is the primary objective of the South ern Oregon Child Guidance clinic in . Medford, Miss Mary Vandenburg told the Medford Rotary club yesterday. Miss Vandenburg, psychiatric social worker with the clinic, said its work is divided into three parts, diagnostic service for emotionally disturbed chil dren; a consultation service for professional groups such as teachers, ministers and physi cians, and an educational pro gram, carried on through .Parent-Teacher groups and those in terested in aiding retarded children. 100 Cases Per Year Since the clinic was establish ed about two years ago, she said, it has operated as a semi-private, semi-public institution, and has handled about 100 cases annual ly. -She stated that as the com munity's need for the clinic's services grows, the clinic would also grow to meet the demand. It is now primarily devoted to Jackson countv cases, although non-residents are treated on a fee basis. She described methods of re ferral and treatment, and dis cussed the way in which Dr. John Waterman, consulting psy chiatrist, gains the confidence of children by studying their han dling of toys and games, and is able to diagnose the cause of their emotional trouble. His findings are then given to the parents and teachers involved through a series of consultations, she explained. SOFT HEART South Bend, Ind. (U.R) Who says all traffic iudees have hearts of stone?

(U.R) Su perior Judge Charles Wade Snook called another panel of prospective jurors today in the kidnap-murder trial of Burton W. Abbott. ' As the trial went into its third day, 19 members of the original panel of 55 had been excused, two on peremptory challenges and 17 for cause. A tentative jury of seven men and five wom en was in the box. However, the composition of the jury was sure to be changed in view of the fact that the de fense and prosecution each had 19 challenges left. 65 Jury Prospects Judge Snook ordered 65 pros pective jurors from the court of Superior Judge Chris B. Fox to be on hand this morning. Abbott, 27, a tubercular ac counting student, is accused of kidnapping and murdering 14 kidnaping and murdering 14 Berkeley last April. Some of her personal effects were found in the basement of Abbott's Alame da home last July. A few days later, her body was found in a shallow grave near his mountain cabin. Abbott, who was calm and at ease when the trial got under way Monday, appeared nervous and tense yesterday. He sharp ly, denied reports that he was "amazed" to learn that he could be convicted on circumstantial evidence alone. Defendant Chews Gum The reports said he had dis cussed this in Alameda county jail with jailers and fellow pris oners. "I don't remember any such discussion," he snapped. The slender defendant chew ed gum rapidly during the after noon session yesterday. He lis tened with heightened interest as his attorneys asked prospec tive jurors their attitude toward circumstantial evidence. His glasses went on and came off frequently.- At the end of the session which went an hour and a half overtime he appeared fatigued as he was led away to a dinner of stuffed bell peppers, diced beets and jello. Judge Snook indicated he may order night sessions in order to get a jury chosen as quickly as possible. ing which was worked out by Drs. Norman Rosenberg, Ru dolph Reich, and Malcolm Brahms of Cleveland. It seems to make the most difficult hu man repairs much easier. You might think a bone taken from one part of your body and grafted to a bone in another part, fuses to it and becomes a permanent part of it. That isn't so. The old bone grows through and around the transplanted into yours. The Bones The outside layers of bone are dense and hard they're "cortical" bone. The inside is softer and under a microscope you can see that it is latticed, like a sponge. That is "cancel lous" bone. Surgeons long ago found that transplants of cancel lous bone were absorbed into old bone much faster than corti cal bone the old bone grew through all the lattice work. Then it was discovered that the more of the area of the new bone which was presented to old bone, the faster the old bone grew around it. That led to re ducing the bone to be trans planted into flakes and chips But "the surgical production of these chips with or without a ; bone mill is tedious and the chips are large," the Cleveland surgeonspomted out. The Method So they set to work to reduce bone to smaller pieces by some easy method. They found that the "bone saw and coffee grind er produce fine particles of bone but generated too much heat and burned the bone. A pencil sharpener mounted on a firm base produced good particles of bone but was tedious and waste ful of bone because the "stubs" had to be discarded." Then one of them thought of the kitchen blender which has come into common use for the concoction of fancy dishes and drinks. It is no more than a set of rapidly spinning blades at the geons sterilized tne container, put in some bone chips, added a sterile saline solution to - keep bottom of a container. The sur-1 the bone cool, and turned on the motor. In ten minutes the bona had been ground into bits con siderably smaller than the grain of uncooked rice.
