Red Raider Five Best In Defense Portland A new leader jumped to the top of the Ore gon Collegiate conference scoring race . after another week end of play that saw only one major change in the statistical picture. John Winters, Portland State's junior guard, leaped from third to first with a 20.5 point average on the strength of a 51 point series against Eastern Oregon in Portland. Truman Williams, OTI forward who was in first place last week, dropped to second and Southern Oregon's Bill Hollingsworth slipped to third. Williams retained the lead in field goal shooting with an average of .581 but Winters jumped from sixth to second in this department. He has a .494 shooting percentage for six1 games. Eastern Oregon continued to dominate the free throw shooting department with Jim Parson, Larry Howard and Dick Quinn sweeping the top three places. The Mount aineers have a team average of .679. Oregon Tech still holds the offensive lead with an aver age of 72.7 points per game and also has the best field goal shooting mark with an average of .428 per cent. Southern Oregon is the best defensive club in the OCC. The Red Raiders have yield ed only 52.2 points per game, Rivalry Tougher In Ladies' Golf Hollywood, Fla.

Chavez Ravine Issue Sparks New Argument Los Angeles OP) The emergence of a group favor ing a contract turning over land in Chavez ravine to the Los Angeles Dodgers sparked a new controversy today. Actor Joe E. Brown, chair man of a group identifying itself as the "Citizens for a 'Yes' Vote on Baseball " said he was certain voters would approve the contract once they knew all the facts. The Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce seconded the comedian's stand by official ly endorsing the agreement which would turn over 300 acres of land in Chavez ra vine to the Dodgers where a 50,000 seat stadium would be built. Distortion Claimed But Los Angeles Council man Earl D. Baker took a different view. He said Brown had distorted the facts. "This kind of propaganda should be stopped," he declared. According to Baker, "base ball is not on the ballot." He observed that the "Dodgers are already here. They are a part of the community. What is before the people is a con tract." Opponents of the contract here argued that the city gives too many advantages to the Dodgers in it. Baker said there "is noth ing . to prevent the Dodgers from selling the land and pulling out of town." Coun cilman Patrick D. McGee took a similar stand. But the chamber of com merce board of directors said ratification of the contract would result in a tax gain of S320.816 for the city, in ad dition to increased new busi ness and development of a broad youth program. Search for Boyr12r Said Discouraging Willows, Calif. (IP) Searchers looking for 12-year-old Dennis Wurschmidt in the wilds of Mendocino Na tional forest confessed them selves discouraged today for the first time. Dennis became separated from his Boy Scout troop last Saturday while playing In dian in the Grindstone can yon area. An army of search ers, numbering uu at times, has sought him in the snow- covered fastness ever since. "It doesn't look too prom ising right now," Glenn Coun ty Sheriff Lyle Sale radioed from search headquarters at Alder Springs, 40 miles west of Willows. The weather turned bad early Thursday and snow be gan falling until early in the morning. I SPEAKER Wayne Struble, architect in charge of the Medford office of James L. Payne, architects, spoke at a meeting of the Med ford Multiple Listing service recently, instead of Payne as was previously reported. He discussed building trends in this area.

The waterfowl inventory began on Jan. 4 by 23 game commission biologists work ing in cooperation with the U. S. fish and wildlife service and was completed on Jan. 10. Five light aircraft were used by both agencies covering 1.300 miles. Aerial counts were made along the Colum bia and John Day rivers, in Coos and Curry counties, and in the Klamath basin. Water fowl counts in other areas were made on foot or by car Most abundant bird in the state was the mallard with a tally of more than 316,000 birds. Populations of baldpate followed with a tally of around 84,900 birds. Pintails were third on the list with some 74,600 birds. Popula tions of other ducks were much fewer in number rang ing from around 10,700 ruddy ducks, 7,600 green-winged teal, 5,700 scaup, and down to 28 wood ducks and 2 old squaw. Total duck popula tion numbered slightly more than 567,000 birds. Lest Geese Goose inventories show con siderably less numbers than a year ago. About 45,000 geese, mostly uanaaas, were tallied as compared to more than 66,000 last year. Black brant, coot, and swans made up the rest of the total win tering population. Again as last year the Col umbia river, Cold Springs and McKay reservoirs carried more birds than usual. Some 300,000 birds, almost half the entire wintering population, were found in these areas from The Dalles eastward. Other areas where wintering waterfowl were abundant in cluded Columbia and Multno mah counties with a tally of about 111,000 birds, Lane county in the south Willam ette valley with about 86,000, and Coos county along the coast with a tally of some 33, 000 birds. Although fewer waterfowl were counted than last year, the number i is considerably higher than the five year aver age of 498,960. Prior to last year's peak figure, the high est tallies were 485,500 in 1956. I Youths Reaching 18 Failing to Register Several youths reaching 18-years-old are failing to regis ter with the selective service system, according to load board officials. They said failure to regis ter within the five-day time limit could result in immedi ate induction into the serv ice. They pointed out youths reaching 18-years-old, who are members of a reserve or national guard unit, still must register. Proof of age must be pre sented when registering, offi cials said. They added that registering for the selective service does not mean the youth will be inducted.

Among the most marvel ously engineered jobs ever created is the framework of animals , the skeleton. Whether for a 100-foot long whale or a three-inch hum ming bird, the architectural principles involved are the same employing those which a modern engineer might use to build a suspen sion bridge, a cantilevered building and a vaulted audi torium. , Except this: the human en gineer isn't born who could design a complete skeleton for an animal so that each piece would have the maxi mum lightness, being rein forced with art and subtley where additional strength is needed; flexible yet sturdy enough to withstand shocks, and withal observing a won derful economy of space. Besides, as the function of each member of that frame work differs, so, too, must the design of that individual bone differ, whether it is intended to encase the brain or the tiny Dituitary: to house the lungs and permit expansion; to give attachment to muscles for moving of the body, or to provide self -lubricating joints: to say nothing of its assembly: the whole frame work being held together not with nails and bolts but with bands of tough sinews liga ments. Intricate as this may sound add this: the skeleton, how ever rigid, must allow for growth, so that the frame work can grow with the body Or, when growth is done, and the skeleton becomes partly non-living, that it still retain enough life for self -repairs should a bone break. But even this is not all. In each species, the skeleton differs so that it can best meet the needs of the crea ture it supports and protects in its special way of life. Consider just a few of the variations. The mole demand ing perfect tools for ' tunnel ing in search of edible grubs calls for a skeleton with stur dy shovel-shaped hands and a wedge-shaped skull. To assist in swimming, the seal calls for weblike fins'. Armored Tailplate Yet another, the pigmy ar madillo must have an armor ed tailplate attached to the hip bones. The heavy bone plate, like an attached shield, protects its rear when it pokes its head down a hole dug with its clawed forefeet. The heron gull demands a powerful set of forelimbs, hollow and light, to be used as wings. A muscle connects the wingbones with a keel like breastbone which an chors the heavy muscles deep in the bird to help preserve its balance in flight. What variety! Each won derfully efficient. Legs for walking and running. Legs for clawing and digging. Legs for climbing and swimming. Legs for flying and diving. And so, too, the other bones .

Roth has spent 23 years in what he calls "the craziest business in the country." He delves into all parts of the world for people just to offer them money. "Crazy? It's like the stock market: Up and down," he says. You've got to be a de tective, genealogist, lawyer, and have the proper will and agressiveness and still you never know what 11 happen. "If you do collect, you make a large fee. But you can de Cells Develop Faster in Dark Los Angeles (IPl Zoolo gists have discovered that simple cells multiply faster in the dark than they do in the light and that at higher tem peratures "monster" cells with many nuclei develop. The scientists have not reached a point in their study of life where they can deter mine the significance of these observations. But cell division and growth is the basis of all growth in living things. The microscopic organisms under study at UCLA are called Euglena. At 86 degrees Euglena doubles its popula tion in the dark or light every 18 hours.. But at 95 degrees the rate of multiplication varies with the light. Stronger light cuts down the rate of cell division and increases the number of "monster" cells with multiple nuclei. Dr. Jean Gross, who is en gaged in the research, said these findings may mean that there are two mechanisms in volved in cell division one controlling nuclear division and the other, cell division. The Pentagon's cooling sys tem is roughly equivalent to melting 28.6 million tons of ice each 24 hours. IIS Electric & Plumbing ntinuing their Retail Progress .

It's a rather ex clusive occupation. About a dozen persons are in it in this country, he says. Located Thousands Roth figures that in 23 years he has located about 8,000 missing heirs to sums totaling several million dol lars. "And I suspect there have been about 300,000 more per sons, the wishful thinkers, who have come to mex or writ ten me letters all saying something like, 'please find my aunt Matilda's money; she died in 1800.' That's not what I do. The way I work is I find the money first and then I trace the heirs by scientific genealogy. We trace back sometimes 200 years. "Once I spent a year trac ing a man, from here to Phil adelphia to Washington. Fin ally I located his brother and got him on the phone. The brother said, 'You're one heck of an investigator. Where did you say your office is?' I said, '11 West 42nd St.' He said 'that's where my brother is.' And he was six floors be low my office."
