the regular routines.

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."

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

The average has been at or

May 13.
At today's low the industrials
showed a loss of more than four
points. That was around mid
session and the drop was caused
by wide declines in some of the

smaller declines in steels, mo

Nixon Sees Tough
Fight in Senate
Washington (IB Vice Pres
ident Richard M. Nixon believes
the Republicans have an "ex
cellent" chance of capturing the
control of the House next year
but that they face a "tough
fight" in the Senate.
Nixon also predicts that the
Democratic controlled 85th Con
gress will wind up approving
a substantial majority of Presi
dent Eisenhower's legislative
program.
Looking ahead to 1960, the
vice president Sunday refused
to speculate on possible GOP
presidential candidates. He said
he was willing to answer al
most any question . . . but on
this one ... I should well re
main silent."
Nixon is considered to be the
current front runner for the Re
publican nomination. But he
may face formidable opposition
from Senate GOP leader Wil
liam F. Knowland who gives
every sign of also seeking his
party's top honor.
