Of By EUGENI BURNS Ranger-Naturalist News Briefs ATTEMPTED WEDGE Washington (U.R) President Roosevelt tried to split Mussolini and Hitler in early 1939 with a warning to the Italian dictator that Hitler would desert him "at any moment.-' State department records pub lished Saturday showed that Mr. Roosevelt felt he stood chance of averting World War II if he succeeded in driving a wedge between the two Fascist strongmen. SUGGEST REMOVAL Washington (U.R) The Na tional Planning association rec ommended Saturday that the United States remove some of the restrictions on sending sur plus farm commodities to iron curtain countries. The research group said, "the administrators of the programs should be free to make disposal agreements with Iron curtain countries when and if there is an opportunity thereby to ad vance the aims and aspirations of freedom-loving peoples." IDEAL PLACE ....Washington (U.R) Sen. Hub ert H. Humphrey said Saturday the troubled Middle East is an ideal place to try out President Eisenhower's "open skies'' dis armament and inspection pro posal. The Minnesota Democrat said "we should apply to such local situations as the Middle East some of the disarmament pro posals we have been advocating for the whole world." O o 5 such are the monkeys and their . many relatives. O Many range from the little marmoset and tiny lemurs, no more than five inches long, to great gorilla which may weigh 600 p.Smds. In mentil attainments lemurs O o Coroner's Jury Acts In Rare Instance Nyssa (U.R) A Malheur county coroner's jury, acting in one of the rare instances where the subject of its investigation was still alive, ruled Friday that a Nyssa police officer was guilty of the crime of "assault with a dangerous weapon." The inquest grew out of the shooting of 38-year-old George Espinoza in front a Nyssa tav ern last week end. Officer Martin Rich shot Es pinoza wen he said the victim resisted arrest. The six-man coroner's jury said that Rich, acting without a warrant, was guilty of assault with a dangerous weapon under the laws of the state of Oregon. The coroner's jury was called into session at the direction of District Attorney E. Otis Smith. Rich asserted that Espinoza re sisted arrest after he arrived at the tavern where Espinoza was pointed out to him as a person who had been creating a distur bance. Espinoza is In a Nyssa hospit al and was reported in improv ed condition Saturday. little more intelligence than the average mammal whereas a certain amount of forethought if not reason may be observed in the apes as they pile box upon box to get at food hanging above them. But, ounce for ounce, the smaller monkeys have more brain weight compared to body than most other mammals. The orangutan's brain, incidentally, comes closest to man's but nei ther equals it in size nor in weight. Most animals belonging to the monkey clan stick pretty close to the tropics in Asia, Africa and the Americas. Except for a few, like the baboon and the aged gorillas. the great number of the monkey clan spend almost all their time in the trees. Here agility and good co-ordination are at a pre mium: and quite likely say the experts, the brains of the apes and monkeys seem to have reached their fine development in connection with the high de gree of mobility which they have achieved in the trees. Good Vision Most have extraordinarily good vision many possessing large eyes set more forward in the face than most other mam mals which enables them to get a single image through b o t h eyes and a good depth percep tion. Unlike the rest of the en tire mammalian kingdom, some monkeys have acute color dis-: crimination and doubtless sec things much as humans do. Babies generally one at a time are born helpless. When it is still very young the mother carries it wherever she goes clinging to one of her breasts. As it grows older, it often rides on her shoulders. Although man is a primate along with the monkeys and apes in classification, he is not descended from them, asserts the editor of The Animal King dom (Greystone Press, N.Y.) Rather he comes from the same ape-like stock they do; all rep resenting offshoots in different directions. (Released by McClure Newspaper Syndicate) FREE VACCINE Los Angeles (U.R) Salk polio vaccine inoculation Saturday was offered free of charge by General Petroleum Corp. to its employes in the west, company medical director Dr. Edward P. Luongo announced. Luongo said the inoculation would be available to employes of all ages, starting immediately at the company's medical instal lations. PARACHUTE TO SAFETY Tuiunnar Calif. (U.R) A Cal ifornia Air National Guard pilot parachuted to safety Saturday shortly before his F-86 jet crash ed into rugged mountain coun try near here. Air National Guard officials identified the pilot as Maj. Rich ard G. Candelaria, of Los Angeles, flight operations officer of the 195th finghter-interceptpr squadron. He was uninjured. MODERN REPUBLICANISM' Long Beach (U.R) Sen. Al bert Gore (D-Tenn.) said Sat urday "modern republicanism" is nothing but an old GOP trick, "talk one way and act another." Gore attacked the Eisenhower administration record and gave his prescription for Democratic victory in coming elections in a speech prepared for the fifth annual convention of the Cali fornia Democratic council. TNT were found wired to the horn and generator of an auto mobile driven by a young house wife Saturday. Police said if Mrs. Slarie Portnoy, 22, of Bos ton had touched the horn "she would have been blown sky high."

SOLDIER SHOT Munich, Germany (U.R) A German engineer shot an Amer ican soldier dead in the center of Munich Saturday. Police arrested Ludwig Sch warzeauer, 52, immediately after the shooting.

TNT FOUND Boston (U.R) Four cans of Brilliant Meteor Flashes Across Southern Heavens New Orleans (U.R) A bril liant meteor "with fire flying everywhere" streaked across the southern skies Friday night and apparently crashed to earth in the barren marshlands along the Louisiana coast. The flash of light caused by the meteor or a shower of me teors was seen from Alabama to Texas, and authorities were checking reports that the fall ing object hit in the vicinity of Marsh Island, just off the Louis iana coast in the Gulf of Mexi co. The Coast Guard in New Or leans said radar men tracked the object on its weather scope into the area of Marsh Island, but were unable to tell if it reached the ground or exploded in the air. Shook Island The game warden on Marsh Island, a wildlife refuge, report ed by radio to the New Iberia sheriff's office that the meteor "made a hell of a noise and shookt he whole island." How ever, he didn't see it land. Several men from the New Iberia sheriff's office rushed to the island to see if they could locate the meteorite. Tremors were reported in the vicinity in a circular area with a radius of some 30 miles and apparently centered near Frank lin, la., which is located between New Iberia and Marsh Island. Police said windows were brok en at some points in the circle, which encompasses New Iberia, Opelousas and Lafayette as well as Franklin. Thousands of calls flooded po lice, airports.
