Professor Wants!9 Less Specialized Research Berkeley, Calif. nn Dr. Mel- vin Calvin, University of Calif ornia chemistry professor, be lieves science needs more re searchers who will boldly break the artificial barriers of speci alization and so pursue clues to nature's secrets. "The fragmentation of science into specialties is a scions haz ard of modern research," Calvin said, in a lecture. "We. need spe cialization, of knowledge and technique has made mastery of a single, discipline difficult enough . . . What we need now is to encourage scientts to es cape from their special disci plines when the need arises." He said future progress may lie in the hands of men "who will readily criss-cross (fields of chemistry, physics and biology) in the pursuit of an idea." e Amsterdam, Holland (W , Ada Den Haan of Holland set a world record for the 200-meter women's breaststroke when she was clocked in 2:51.3 seconds Sunday in the Dutch national championships.

Puerto Rico Plans To Make 10,000 Acres Grow Coffee Sae Juan W Puerto Rico's Department of Agriculture has initiated a new program designed to make 10.000 acres of coffee- land highly productive each year. Once more important than the island's cane sugar crop, Puerto Rican coffee was considered the best, in European capitals. But hurricane crop losses and Euro pean wars hit the market hard, and the local coffee industry cTie to be regarded as uneco nomical. Coffee experts say recent studies show Puerto Rico, with its ideal climate, proper soil con ditions and modern road system, has the best coffee-raising con ditions in the world. The quality of Puerto Rican coffee stilj re tains its reputation, although.ex- pryted in small quantities in re cent years. Research over the past five years shows that, with proper techniques and scientific man agement, about 2,000pounds of coffee per acre can be produced the current production of less than 150 pounds per acre. Maxi mum production in the best coffee-growing areas of Central and South America is about 400 pounds per acre. Five Years Or More The new program calls for in creasing the yield by rehabili tation of all Puerto Rico's coffee land by six methods planting of new trees, properly spaced; proper fertilization, control of insects and disease, proper main tenance of shade and ground cover and proper pruning of trees. The big problem after increas ing the yield is credit. A recent study recommends long - term, low-cost credit to agriculture. Over the past few years the coffee industry has been consoli dating itself in the cooperative movement. Modern processing and marketing methods are being utilized by producer co-ops, which have established small processing centers with modern equipment. About 40, per cent of Puerto Rico's total coffee crop is now processed and 7 or marketed through four cooperatives with a tbtal membership of 3,719. Although it is estimated that it will be five, to 10 years before Festival Plays Tonight: "Ai You Like IL" Tuesday: "Othello." Wednesday: "Two Gen tlemen of Verona." Thursday: "Henry VIII."
