'Fear of Science' Keeping Youths Out of Careers Corvallis "Fear of science" is keeping vast numbers of able American youths out of science classes and careers to- ; day and constitutes one of the i big obstacles faced by this country in science training, ! according, to the dean of sci ence at Oregon State college. ' Dr. F. A. Gilfillan said : thousands of students "steer ' away from science courses in high school and college be- fj! , cause they have the mistaken notion that science courses are too hard for them and too demanding in study time." Girls, especially, hesitate to take science classes because they are "scared," he said. "In reality, of course, there is no reason why grls shouldn't do just as well as boys in sci ence fields," he emphasized. Gilfillan pointed out that students must put forth "real effort" in science studies but is convinced that the "over whelming majority" of stu dents should be able to pass and enjoy science studies. The problem, however, is that the "fear of science" is resulting in a tremendous waste of talent American youngsters possess along sci ence lines, Gilfillan said. Gilfillan is of the opinion that high school students should be required to take at least one year of biology, one year of a physical science physics or chemistry a n d "more than one year" of mathematics if they are going on with college studies. In college, the "well rounded" and "liberal" edu cations ought to include lib eral amounts of science too, he continued. 52nd Year Medford Price 10 Cents TRIBUNE Second Section MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 1958 Pages 1 to 10 The Misses June and Joan Allison have moved from Cen tral Point to Buckeye, Ariz.

CAB Seeking To Solve Mystery Of Plane Crash San Francisco (IP) The Civil Aeronautics Board called additional witnesses to day in an attempt to solve a mystery: How a four-engine plane flying in perfect weath er with two radio transmit ters aboard crashed without sending a distress signal. The answers furnished by the witnesses at" the opening of a two-day .hearing Wednes day served only to deepen the mystery surrounding the crash of Pan American Clip per 944 last Nov. 28. Forty - four persons lost their lives when . the plane suddenly plunged into the Pacific while flying from San Francisco to Hawaii. The bodies of 19 were recovered. Capt. V. A. Stembridge, Air Force pathologist, noted 14 of the recovered bodies wore life jackets. That meant they had sufficient warning that the plane was going to crash. The impact was so great, he said, that the passengers undoubtedly were made un conscious. Five persons were fatally injured, he said. Others simply drowned. The cargo manifest showed the plane contained two radioactive medicines, but they were properly packaged, he said, and nothing recov ered from the wreck showed radiation. Stembridge said there was also a potentially dangerous package of sodium sulfide aboard. That chemical can give off lethal hydrogen sul fide gas on contact with water or moist air. However, Stem bridge said there was no evi dence of the gas. He refused to speculate on the possible causes of carben monoxide found in the bodies. He noted there was a quan tity of motion picture film which emits carbon monoxide under intense heat. However, he said there may have been "false posi tive results" in the testing for carbon monoxide. He said the fire in the plane came after it hit the water, not before. "There is no evidence of foul play," he said. Another witness, Martyn V. Clarke, am investigator for the CAB, testified that the plane's nose section was crushed and it appeared that the plane's right wing hit the water first. He ruled out the possibility of. a bomb or fuel explosion. ROUGH GOING New Britain, Conn. (W Leonard V.

'Reconciliation' Approach in Divorce Cases Said Working By JERRY KEATING UP Staff Correspondent Los Angeles OP) This city has more than its share of divorce, but it has come up with a "reconciliation" ap proach that has worked in 43 of every 100 cases that come before the special court. The basic step is for couples to sign a behavior contract covering the entire range of family relations. Suppose the wife's chief complaint is that her husband drinks far too much, and the man complains in turn that his wife's mother is forever visiting them. The husband signs a docu ment promising to halt or limit his drinking severely. The wife signs a proviso that her mother's visits will be held to no more than once a tnonth and then for not more than three days. Then they go home togeth er and try to keep their prom ises. But it is more than that because they can be held in contempt of court if they vio late the written agreement. Results Encouraging President Judge Louis H. Burke of the Los Angeles County Superior Court says the plan has proved "very potent." Of 100 couples who agree to go to the concilia tion court each month, 43 per cent result in reconciliattion and a year later 75 per cent are still in effect. "The reconciliation agree ment serves several purposes," Burke said. "First, writing down the promises tends to dignify and make the couple aware of them. "The agreement allows the court to step in should either party violate the provisions.! And it serves to instruct' couples about the normal du ties and obligations of married life." Free Will Reigns Burke said no coercion was used in attempting to recon cile couples. Rather they were encouraged to recognize their own shortcomings and sign the contracts of their own free will. The contract begins with a general agreement to forgive and forget. But it also covers such matters as temper, nag ging, personal appearance, child discipline, ' in-laws, sex, drinking, gambling, finances and having a third person in the home. One month after the recon ciliation, the parties receive a congratulatory letter from the judge of the conciliation court Roger A. Pfaff. "Habits cannot be changed all at once," the letter reads. "If you find that there are still domestic difficulties, do not hesitate on contact us for additional counseling." If the counselor finds the marriage cannot be saved, both parties are relieved of their agreement and may go to superior court and seek divorce. EXECUTIVE DIES New York-lP) William V.
