'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.

Wednesday to make an out-of-court
settlement with John's
other wife for $1,000.
Miss Arabella Andre; the

went something like this:
Miss Andre sued Becker for
cursing her and he was fined
S25.
Miss Storm and Becker
swore out an affidavit swear
ing that Miss Andre was in
sane. The court hearing disclosed
that Miss Andre was not in
sane. Miss Andre sued Miss
Storm for false arrest and
malicious prosecution, asking
$35,000 damages. It was that
case that was settled for
$1,000.
Miss Storm's name was re

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.

'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.
