an opportunity thereby to ad

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.

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."
The explosives were found by
filling station attendant Arthur
Sisto when Mrs. Portnoy asked
him to check the oil at a gas
oline station in Dorchester.

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.

Pool (or Atoms
Moscow (U.R) The Soviet
government Saturday proposed
the organization of an all-European
economic and atomic co
operation institution in place of
the projected Western European
common market and "Euratom"
pool.
The Soviet proposal w a s re
leased to correspondents yester
day at a press conference held
bv Foreign Ministry spokesman
Leonid Ilychev.
The 12-page statement was de- j
livered earlier to all European !
embassies and the American em- j
bassy.
The statement attacked West
ern plans for a "Euratom" pool
of peaceful atomic energy re-;
sources and a common market ;
O to reduce trade barriers among
Western European nations. It
said such organisations were in
tended ' to split Europe into
blocs and were fraught with dan-!
gerous consequences for the
whole of Europe." !
