Jazz To Talking Drums Under Study Philadelphia U.R) A newly organized society is Undertaking a scientific study of all music ranging from American jazz to African talking drugs. The new organization is the Society for Ethnomusicology, founded at the recent Fifth In ternational Congress of Anthro pological and Ethnological Sci ences at the University of Penn sylvania.

McAllester of Wesleyan Univer sity Middletown, Conn., secre tary-treasurer. Silver Dollar Symbol of Vest Billings, Mont. (U.R) Gun fights and Indian uprisings may be relegated to history, but there is one symbol of the West that folks in these parts refuse to give up the silver dollar. In fact, one local store mana ger is such an ardent "hard money" man that he won't let his clerks "contaminate" the cash registers with dollar bills. The lowly paper buck gets the bum's rush to the bank. The so-called "cartwheels" are popular with Montanans for several reasons. Businessmen be lieve it's good advertising when visitors take them back to their home states to spend the "Mon tana dollar" always prompts questions in paper-money areas. Old-timers, and even some newcomers, prefer silver dollars simply because they are handy. There is no need to reach for a wallet when there is "clanking money' 'in your jeans. Estimates vary, but one gen erally accepted and verified by local banks is that silver dollars are favored over paper money by ratio of 10 to 1. Bankers say no merchants will buy paper dollars, but one bank ships in 10,000 silver dollars a week to meet the local demand. None of the hard money ever has to be returned to federal reserve banks. Shipment of silver dollars into the state coincides rather closely with the tourist business. The peak year for silver dollars since World War II was 1953 when bankers received $3,838, 833. That also was a record year for tourist business. Despite the popularity of the silver dollar, it does have one drawback. It's rough on trouser pockets. Clothing merchants deny reports they ship in clothes with reinforced pockets but one admitted: "It would be a good idea." CARRYING CAMPAIGN for presidency into Michigan's smaller cities, Democratic Candidate Adlai Stevenson gets some ideas from Engineer John Frieze on how to switch tra ins in yards at Durand. ( International Stmndphoto) SMALL SCHOOL Bangor, Me. U.R This city, one of Maine's largest, has ac credited one of the smallest schools in the state five grades and only 10 pupils.

HOT MAIL Troy, N.Y. flJ.R) Firemen who responded to an alarm here found an unusual blaze. It was inside a mail box attached to a -pole. OLD NEIGHBORS Newburyport, Mass. 'U.R) Charles L. Davis, 100, the na tion's oldest druggist, and Henry Bailey Little, 105, the nation's oldest banker, are High Street neighbors here. Long Walk Brings Swiss To Olympics Melbourne (U.R) A 42-year-old Swiss, Ignace Ruegg, ar rived in Melbourne for the Olympics the hard way he walked the 12,000 miles from Europe. Ruegg carried a 60-pound pack the entire distance, was without water for 38 hours in a Persian desert and wore out seven pairs of shoes in his 20-month trek. The Swiss walker claimed he had been shot at by terrorists in Malaya and rescued by a rubber planter in his home-made armored car. "I never would have made It it if it hadn't been for him," Ruegg said. "The Reds had fired several shots at men and I know I was a goner unless help ar rived. Just then the planter ar rived with his armored car and picked me up." Ruegg said the trip cost him $1,600, and he swears that any future travels he makes will be on wheels. VOTE NOTE Jackson, Mich. U.R) The Junior Chamber of Commerce has created a "Roll of Dis honor." On it will be listed the names of members who fail to vote Nov. 6, Hay Baler Traps Owner With Headlock Tawas Citjj. Mich. (U.R) Farm equipment experts were needed to release Eugene Coats from a harrowing two-hour headlock in his own hay baler. The 53-year-old farmer was at tempting field repairs on his roll-type hay baler when his head became wedged in the ma chine by a shifting casting. The machine and its captive were some 100 yards from the high way. Using a free arm, Coates re moved a white handkerchief from his hip pocket and signaled blindly, hoping to attract a pass ing motorist. More than an hour passed be fore the signal was noticed. Truck driver Kenneth Alstrom rushed to the scene. Finding he was unable to help Coates, he called the Iosco County sheriff and state police. But none could work him free. Finally, after two hours in the machine's grip, a farm equipment dealer arrived with a crew. They went to work with their tools and shortly had the casting removed and Coates pulled to safety. Coates was taken to a nearby hospital and treated for a mild concussion and shock. Hands, Wrists Good Thyroid Checkpoints Chicago (U.R) Hands and wrists are good check-points in determining the adequacy of thyroid replacement therapy in infants and children who have underactive thyroid glands, Radiology has reported. The medical magazine's article on "hypothyroidism" was writ ten by Dr. Lee B. Lusted, radio logist with the National Insti tutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., and Dr. Donald E. Picker ing a pediatrician at the Uni versity of Oregon School of Medicine. An X-ray examination of the hands and wrists has been used by the two investigators to meas ure skeletal retardation. "Doses of hormone which are sufficient to reverse many clin ical and metabolic signs of thy roid deficiency are often inad equate to promote normal skeletal maturation," they said. The X-ray test is then employ ed to determine if increased hormone dosage is needed. Such tests are most useful in earlist childhood when growth potential is at a maximum, they added.
