Emperor Penguin Male Has Big Role In-Hatching Eggs By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor New York-(UPI)-Of all fe males, the female of the em peror Penguin probably has IC"" the softest time of it. She has reduced the inconveni ences growing out of the fe male share of ; perpetuating a race to the barest mini- I mum. DcIm smith she lays an egg only one egg, mind probably just once a year, then goes off with the other girls and stays away until the male has hatched the egg in a lonely vigil of nine weeks. During those nine weeks, the matrons are gadding about from one eating place to an other, but the males are fast ing because once you start in cubating an egg, you keep right on sitting on it you can't let it get chilled Gather in Group Science's limited knowledge of the way of life of emperor penguins has been filled out with these and other details by Richard L. Willing, mem ber of the Australian scien tific research mission in the Antarctic. Penguins are seized with the desire for penguin perpe tuation all at once, and in the very depth of the Antarctic winter. This, Willing said, is peculiar." The females ga ther round, usually on the flat sea ice, and each produces one egg.

But when you know what to look for it's easy. Look for the tuna meat with a clear, clean, light color. This comes from fresh, prime qual ity tuna. Look for firm, special-cut chunks, always just right and ready for casseroles, salads or sandwiches. These neat chunks come from packing fresh prime tuna with great care. There you are. You've already picked the Bumble Bee chunk style tuna. It's p. and e. in the nirtiirPL OOQ Now you're for nine weeks. Willing said, not a female is seen anywhere even close to this rookery. Work Together Just as the babies are break ing through the shells, the ladies suddenly return. After nine weeks of fasting, the males are quite lean and very hungry and they're permitted to go off and build themselves up with sustained eating. Meanwhile, the females feed the offspring. As the babes grow and develop enormous appetites, the males return, pitch in and lighten the fe males' burden, It is work cheerfully done by both, in a bustling atmosphere. Willing estimated that in one rookery there were 12.000 adult pen guins and 8,509 chicks. His observations confirmed and elaborated those of earl ier Antarctic scientists who believed penguins have con tinuous access to the sea and its supply of oeneuin food, fish, because the fides keep making cracks in the surface ice. Swim Under Ice lne rookeries are on or near the coast. Willine fig ured the "complete absence" of females while the males were hatching the eegs meant the girls had gone far out to sea where the eating would be best, "possibly to the pack ice 50 or 100 miles away." They didnt' walk there, in his opinion. He couldn't prove it since he hadn't observed it, but he thought it "almost cer tain" they swam there under the ice. Not 50 to 100 miles under solid ice, but from one hole in the ice to another hole. Penguins are clumsy walk ers, as anyone knows who has ever seen one. Since they are flightless birds, swim ming is their only other way of getting around. Willing went all the way in suggest ing they were tremendous swimmers, covering "large distances in a relatively short period." Hatfield Regrets Neuberger Illness Salem -UPD- Secretary of State Mark Hatfield, Republi can candidate for governor, expressed his regrets today at the illness of U. S. Sen. Richard Neuberger.

Brokerage House Finds Only Half Dozen Stocks at $1,000 v By ELMER C. WALZER UPI Financial Editor New York-UPD-So you want to buy some $2 stocks and some $1,000 stocks? Well' sir, that's just where the shortages are. The big ones have been split up. The little ones have been bid up. The broker age house of Merrill Lynch, F e n n e r & Rimer Walzer smiui u i u some digging and found there are only a half dozen issues selling at more than $1,000. Back in early 1945 the firm in its publication "Investor's Reader" managed to dig up 16 of those thounsandaires. Today's six include the Los Angeles Turf Club at $70,000 Christiana Securities, $13,000 Superior Oil of California (only big board giant) at $1 820; Kansas Citf Life Insur ance, $1,425; and Upjohn Co at $1,300. The other ten have been hacked down by stock splits The big split was San Fran cisco Bank which in 1945 be fore the split sold-at $12,000 a share. It was split 500-for-l in January of 1945 and in the following December it de clared a 100 per cent stock dividend. Subsequently the name of the San Francisco Bank was changed to First v Western Bank & "Trust." The $12,000 share of 1945 is now 1,000 shares worth $37,000. Ups and Downs While the stock split route has been taken by most of the $1,000 issues, the little ones have been rising on in creasing demand.' .

Reservations' by long distance phone refunded en request upon arrival voting a feature article in its "Outlook" to "Opportunities in Low-priced Stocks." A low price tag, Standard & Poor's says, does not neces sarily connote inferior invest ment charteristics. "As a rule," the article in the "Outlook" notes, "low priced stocks show greater percentage gains in a rising market than high - priced shares. Another important ad vantage is that diversification is made possible at low cost." Barron's recently listed a group of low-priced stocks which showed gains running to more than 400 per cent from their reaction lows to 1958 highs. Trade Dominated Low-priced ' shares have been dominating the trading recently. In the week ended Aug. 1, the average price of the 20 most active stocks was $51.38 a share. Two weeks later average was down to $27.24. It was $28.81 last week. Barron's recently listed sev eral reasons for demand for low-priced shares: For years the group has lagged behind the market. , It has taken 12 years for low-priced stocks to equal their 1946 high and presum ably this long interval has eliminated the more impatient owners and the stocks have passed gradually into strong hands. Low-priced issues occa sionally attract a following simply because they are cheap. Today would appear to be one of those times. A plethora of investment funds, fear of inflation, and a mass psychology of "get rich quick" apparently are fueling the current drive for cheap stocks. Barron's warns' however, that today's bull market in cheap stocks may be nothing more than an abnormally strong rally in an over-all bear market. "If so," it adds, "it will be followed by a decline to new lows." Russia now has more than 240,800 women doctors.

London's Scene of Negro Race London-flJPD-A haze of foe hangs around yellow street lamps and the lights shine dimly on the peeling yellow walls of the tenements in Lon don's Notting Hill district. White and Negro residents cluster in front of the build ings on the stairs leading up the pavement, looking nerv ously down the street for new outbreaks of trouble. This is Notting Hill, a Har lem-type area where recent race riots have evoked de mands for a legalized color bar in Britain. Tuesday night Notting Hill was quiet but tense under the eyes of 1,000 police.

Robert D. Holmes said today. The governor said he had written Tax Commission Chairman Carl Chambers not ing that one of the recurring complaints about administra tion of tax laws was that con ferences on income tax mat ters were held only in Salem or in Portland. ' Chambers said that a pilot plan was now in the mill to determine if more widespread hearings were feasible. The governor suggested that eastern and southern Oregon should be represent ed. Two Burglaries Are Reported to Police Two burglaries were re ported to city police Tuesday at the same address. One in volved the loss of $70 and the other the loss of a radio val ued at $10.
