hoped would disclose Christopher Marlowe authored the

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.

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

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.
