Sausalito, Calif. By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York If New scien tific answers to the very old question of what parts of our personalities are nherited and what parts resuit from experi ences and training have been given by three psychologists who made detailed studies of children. These are their conclusions: Our general intelligence and our willingness to accept reali ty are, in the main, hereditary. But experiences and training are chiefly responsible for these other parts of our personalities whether we re assertive or not assertive; whether we're fast or slow in our mental-physical re actions; whether we're neurotic ! or not neurotic; whether we're j strong in power of will and abil i ity to know ourselves; whether i the demands made on us needle I us into tenseness and too much quick response. Three more parts of person ality are about equally due to heredity and environment-whe-ther we're critical of ourselves and practical in applying the criticisms: whether we're self critical in ways which make us timid and cautious; whether we're exuberant in our general reactions. Because these answers are thoroughly s c i e n t i fic doesn't mean they are correct. Indeed, the scientist-Drs. Raymond B. Cattrell, Glen F. Stice, and Nor ton F. Kristy, psychologists of the University of Illinois-specified that the answers were both theoretical and "first approximations." frri Skim w&M A- BIDDING ADIEU TO Miss Prances Willis, U.

Conviction can bring a fine of up to S239 and a 30-day jail sentence. The patrol chief told his men that motorists they catch simply throwing a few papers from their car should be stopped, told of their offense, asked to cooperate in keeping the highways clean, and be requested to pick up the litter. But for drivers or passengers who toss out cans, beer bottles or anything else that would be a hazard to traffic, Hyatt said ar test citations should be given as well as making the offenders clean up the mess. He pointed out that in Califor nia, justices of the peace before whom litterburgs are brought currently are making the debris dropper sweep up not only the spot he littered but adjoining stretches of highway. j Hyatt is himself particularly aware oi me Gangers causeo oy persons tossing litter from fast moving vehicles.

"I w as going about 60. The bus was doing around 40. That gave the apple a velocity of 100 miles an hour when it hit." The bus involved was from an Mrs. John Johnson Sr.. who !
