DISAPPOINTMENT REIGNS as Calvin Hoffman (bottom with Mrs. Hoffman), gazes through bars of tomb that he hoped would disclose Christopher Marlowe authored the works attributed to Shakespeare. Opening of tomb of Sir Thomas Walsingham, Chislehurst, England, patron of Marlowe (top), revealed nothing but dust rather than proof of the American's theory. (International Soundphoto) SCIENCE AT WORK New York (U.R) With sex under constant criticism and periodic attack it may reassure a lot of people to know sex can be justified fully scientifically but not at all for the reason you think. There is no basis for the su perstition that sex is necessary for "the continuance of a race." Dr. Robert Piatt, a professor of medicine, made a point of that in a recent lecture. He reminded his hearers that the drone bees has no father. Nature's accomplishment, that. But Dr. Gregory Pincus, as re cently as 1939, by purely scien tific means, produced three fath erless rabbits in his laboratory. "Many primitive organisms divide and reproduce without sexual differentiation," he said. Why, even in "higher animals" ex is not indispensable for re production. Back in 1899, a sci entist made unfertilized star fish eggs develop, and another sci entist produced tadpoles artifi cially in 1911. Transmission Belt So "continuance of a race" Is no justification. Scientifically speaking, the scientific justifica tion is that sex is a marvelously effective transmission belt for life, and "one of the most fascin ating things" is that it "applies equally well not on'y to mice and men and monkeys but also to plants and, in fact, to any thing which reproduces sexual ly." That is why "sexuality has been adopted by all the higher species. "The union of two individuals has two major effects," he said. One is that "separate characters previously found in two differ ent individuals may meet in the next generation avid appear to gether in the same individual. Sexuality thus produces the new variants on which the process of evolution can act by natural se lection." The other major effect is "somewhat in the opposite direc tion. "It provides that all individ- April Traffic Fafal To 35 Oregonians Salem tU.R) Thirty-five per sons were killed in Oregon traf fic accidents during April. The State Traffic Safety divi sion said Friday the April toll wiped out the state's previously reported reduction in traffic deaths and brought the four month count to 115 10 more than for the same period last year. Safety officials warned that the sharp upsurge of deaths in April was "only a forerunner of what might happen during the coming months of heavy vaca tion traffic." The April record brought the state, more closely in line with a national trend ' which shows deaths running about 11 per cent ahead of last year. By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor uals are diploid that is, they have a double set of genes and chromosomes," Dr. Piatt ex plained. "This makes for stabil ity in the race, for new muta tions, which are usually disad vantageous, are usually reces sive and are not immpriiatpl-u-an. parent. "It has, in fact, been calculated that a new mutation occurring today, either spontaneously or as a result of all the radiation at present being released in the world, would be unlikelv to show itself for some 500 years. "But this is no reason why we should neglect the problem. And of course a cousin marriairo might bring two mutant recessive genes together much more quick ly. One hesitates to think what might be the result of a cousin marriage in Hiroshima, or for mat matter a marriaee of pons-1 ins whose common grandmoth-1 er had been a radiographer." j Dr. Piatt is a member of the I medical faculty in the Univer-! sity oi Manchester, Eng. His witty discourse on "Life" is cur-1 rently bemusing scientific circles i in this country. Fugene Man Dies While Making Citizen's Arrest Eugene (U.R) Funeral serv ices are pending here Friday for Uriel M. Bobinette, 50-year-old Eugene resident who died, ap parently of a heart attack, as he attempted to make a citizen's arrest of a woman driver. State police reported that Bobinette was forced off High way 58 by an unidentified wom an motorist. He gave chase and stopped her and then collapsed while in an overwrought condi tion as he started to make an arrest. Salem's Sacred Heart High School for Girls Salem (U.R) Sacred Heart high school this fall will again become an all-girls school. It will make the first time in 20 years that the school has not had boys enrolled although it started as a girls school many years ago. The . Rev. Augustine Meyer, pastor of St. Henry's church in Gresham, will give the com mencement address May 31. He was the first boy graduated from Sacred Heart, in 1929. Walla Walla Prison Escapee Captured Hood River (U.R) Sheriff R. L. Gillmouthe late Thursday captured Paul L. Stelle, 39-year-old convict who escaped from the Washington state prison in Walla Walla Monday. Gillmouthe said Stelle was captured in a hobo jungle east of here. After Stelle escaped, Mrs. Na dine Norton, a Milton-Freewater taxi driver, said she was forced to drive him as far as Hood Riv er where the cab ran out of gas. Dr. E. O.
