MM Resources Board fo Hold Hearings on Dam Portland W Oregon's Wa ter Resources board decided on Monday to schedule hearings on applications of Idaho Power company to build three low head dams on the Snake river.

Scientists Warn of Care in Using X-Ray Stanford, Calif. W Two Iowa State college scientists to day warned that the need for care in the use of x-ray on wom en is even greater than on men. The warning came from Jan ice Stadler and John W. Gowen in a paper delivered before the American Institute of Biologi cal sciences. They reached their conclusion on the dangers of over-exposure to x-rays after performing experiments on mice. Their experiments showed that mice showed progessive body damage and a lower life span the more radiation they re ceived. Female mice under the jsan conditions presented a "paradox," they said. Under relatively low dosages, up to 80 Roentgens, the life span of female mice "increases notic eably." But exposures of much higher Roentgens led to "pro gressive reductions" in the life span of females.
