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

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.

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.

Wayne Struble, architect in
charge of the Medford office

recently, instead of Payne as
was previously reported. He

Wintering
Bird Count
Excellent
Portland Waterfowl inven
tories recently completed
show an excellent population
of wintering birds only slight
ly below the high count of
last year, the Oregon game
commission reported today
Final tallies disclose more
than 638,000 birds as com
pared to some 711,000 last
year.
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.

Is That So?
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

Job of Tracing Missing Persons
One of Wackiest in World, Man Says
By DOC QUIGG
United Press Correspondent
New York (IP Theodore
W. 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.

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.

vote years and thousands of

solve it, and you're out cold,
you make nothing."
Roth's business is tracing
missing heirs. 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."
Looking For 2Vz Years

nearly two and a half years,
