Twin on Moon Trip
Would Be Younger
Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) If
twin brothers flipped a coin to
see which would be the first to
take a space ship to the nearest
satellite, the brother who took
the trip would be two and a
half years younger than his stay-at-home
brother by the time he
returned to earth.
University of California physi
cist Frank S. Crawford believes
he has found grounds for this
basic tenet of Einstein's theory
of relativity which suggests that
motion causes space and time to
contract.
Reporting in the journal, Na
ture, his idea that space travel
would make people age more
slowly. Dr. Crawford said he
found support for the "clock
paradox'' in his analysis of time-of-flight
studies of mesons.
Mesons are high speed particles
produced in cosmic rays and
now generated in powerful atom
smashers. Other scientists, both
British and American, have been
conducting time studies of this
type.
The question Dr. Crawford in
vestigated was: "Do high speed
mesons (like space travelers)
age slower than mesons at rest"
Dr. Crawford said the answer is
"yes."
The meson lifetimes are meas
ured in millionths of a second
two-millionths of a second for
the meson at rest and 30-mil-lionths
of a second for mesons
in motion in the experiments
analyzed.
Dr. Crawford indicated that
until space travel is well-developed,
data on the Einstein para
dox can be obtained only by the
Washington (Special)
Rep. Charles O. Porter (D-Ore.),
has introduced a bill to reinvest
part of each year's profits from
our national forests in the recre
ation business.
The bill is identical to that
introduced by Congressman Lee
Metcalf (D-Mont.), on which
hearings were held last year.
It would:
(1) Declare public receation
use of the national forests a pol
icy of Congress. There Is no
such policy now.
(2) Earmark 10 per cent of
the national forest receipts each
year for development, maintain
ance and operation of recreation
facilities and areas; provide for
adequate safety, sanitation and
health, and improvement and
maintenance of wildlife habitat.
The amount so set aside shall
not exceed $11 million in any
one year.
Greatest Good
"Our national forests were es
tablished more than 50 years
ago to provide the greatest good
to the greatest number of peo
ple in the long run," Porter said
in commenting on the bill.
"This same policy applies to
day to our system of 149 nation
al forests, in which each of us
is a shareholder, covering 181
million acres from Alaska to
Puerto Rico and in 40 states.
"Watershed protection and
timber production are the pri
primary objectives of our na
tional forests. In the past few
years, however, there have been
hlge and rapid increases in the
other multipurpose uses, includ
ing grazing, wildlife and recre
ation. In this bill, we hope to
helo the Forest Service develop
and strengthen the latter uses,
because our national forests pro
vide the last great public-access
area for millions seeking recre
ation.
8 Cents Per Visitor
"Each year, more Americans
spent at least part of their va
cations in our national forests.
Last year 45 V4 million Ameri
cans did so more than twice
the total number of visitors in
1946. Last year, we appropriated
$3.7 million for the Forest Ser-

vice to operate and maintain rec

and care of some 4,700 public
use areas and $385,000 for wild
life management. In other words
we were willing to spend 8 cents
per visitor on recreation facili
ties built in the CCC days which
are falling apart.
"Our national forests are mak
ing money for us. Receipts in
fiscal 1956 totaled almost $112
million. That same year we spent
$94 million on national forest
programs. So $18 million went
into the Treasury from operation
of our national forests.

Turkey Process
Methods Change
Fargo, N.D. U.R) New de
velopments are bringing notice
able changes to the turkey pro
cessing industry, according to
Lloyd Forness, extension poul
try marketing agent at North
Dakota State College.
Forness said "processing
plants are increasing in the pro
duction areas of the country and
decreasing in the larger cities."
"Poultrymen have found that
refrigerated transporta tion
makes shipping dressed poultry
practical, he said. Assembling
costs are considerably less, and
there is less loss from shrinkage
when live birds are spared a
long trip to the central market."
He said large chain store oper
ators have found it more conven
ient and economical to buy di
rectly from large-scale proces
sors located in the producing
area.
Although most processing
operations have been shifted to
the producing area. Forness said,
the number of plants in relation
to past years is down consider
ably. This is due to the increase
in size of operations. New ma
chines and greater efficiency
have modernized the turkey pro
cessing industry.
Forness said practically all
processing plants are now pro
ducing a bird that is eviscerated
and packaged ready for the
oven. This switch from New
York-dressed operations has ac
tually resulted in less cost to
the plant operators.
Cucumber Seedlings Aid
In Virus Disease Study
Geneva, N. Y. (U.R) The
State Agricultural Experiment
Station here has come up with a
short cut in the detection of
virus diseases in stone fruits
through the use of cucumber
seedings.
The process, known as "in
dexing," enables plant scientists
to separate virus-free from dis
eased budwood for use in pro
pagating healthy nursery trees.
By this method, leaf juice ex
tracts of the fruits to be tested
are inoculated into the seed
leaves of the cucumber. Within
five to eight days virus symp
toms appear in the cucumber
plants if the viruses are present
in the leaf juices.
