Scientists Exchange Chicken Fore-Brain With That of Duck Br DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor New York-(CPD-Science has now succeeded in replacing the fore-brain of chickens with the fore brain of ducks, and vice-versa. It is a startling a c hievement, raising the Uhe question of whether a chicken (or a duck) remains Deio smith a chicken (or a duck) with a duck's (or a chicken's fore-brain in its head. - Of greater potential for people, probably, were the experiments which preceded the chicken-duck ones. In those, the fore-brains of chick ens were inter-changed, and in one instance the exchange was between chickens of dif ferent kinds between a Rhode Island Red and a Bar red Rock. Would Reject Paris Although it may be remote, the day will come when sci ence knows enough abcut the chemistry of life for body parts, such as the heart, to be replaceable. The heart of a man killed in an auto acci dent, for instance, could be Pending Cases In District Court Are Dismissed Four cases were dismissed in district court by Judge James M. Main this week in an attempt by the court to close old cases that have been pending for several years. Persons who had orders signed dismissing charges against them included Sidney Edward, Klamath, Calif., who was arrested Oct. 26, 1956, on a charge of driving while driver's license was suspended. Charges were dis missed since the man is not in the state. Charges of driving a veh icle without an operator's li cense were dismissed against Anita Lorraine Weeks, Butte Falls, since she is currently serving a two year sentence in the state penitentiary, and charges of operating a car while driver's license was suspended also were dismiss ed against William Freeman Scruggs, 136 Portland st., " Medford." "Further investiga tion of the case by the dis trict attorney's office failed to find records that the man's license had been suspended. Also dismissed were charg es of obtaining money under false pretenses brought against Leonard Claude Bow en of Ceres, Calif. Two men appeared in dist rict court yesterday on charges of driving while un der the influence of intoxicat ing liquor. Both men were represented by attorneys and were given until Oct. 3 to en ter their please. They were released on their own recog nizance. The men, arrested by Med ford city police, were Peter Westley Welch, Portland, and Bert Preston Luman, 901 South Ivy st., Medford. Welch was represented by James Redden while Warren Lesseg was attorney for Luman. made to replace the hoplessly diseased heart of a dying man. It is utterly impossible now because body chemistry em phatically rejects "foreign" parts, even if the parts are net very foreign, having come from an individual of the same species. The rejection is chemical, and the chemical rejectors sweep down on the "invader" part by way of the blood, and kill it. Five Succeeded The fowl experiments, con ducted by Drs. Peter N. Mar tinovitch and Miroslava R. Soldier Honored For Bravery Fort Lewis, Wash. -fCPD-Pvt. Ray Maruschek, 19, Phil lipsburg, Pa., has received the Army's highest award for bravery outside of combat for his actions when a plane crashed on take-off at Minne apolis Aug. 28. An Army band and 2000 soldiers passed Maruschek's wheelchair in a special re view in tribute to his bravery. The troops stood at attention as Maruschek received the Soldier's Medal from Rep. Don Magnuson (D-Wash.) Maruschek was credited with saving the lives of sev eral passengers when -a North west Orient Airlines DC-6 plunged into a cornfield while taking off from the Minneapo lis airport. Maruschek and another soldier ripped a hole in the plane's fuselage and began lifting passengers out. All 58 passengers and the crew of four escaped before the ex plosion shattered the burning wreckage.

They grafted foreign fore brains onto brains from which the fore-brain had been re moved. The embryos develop ed "in a fairly normal way in side their eggs up to the time of hatching. Then many were incapable of freeing them selves and so expired. But five succeeded, and "with very little assistance." Four died during the first two months of independent life, but the fifth, the Rhode Is land Red with a Barred Rock fore-brain, has lived and be haves like a chicken although it is on the puny side. 53rd year Medford Price 10 cents Tribune 2nd SECTION MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1958 Pages 1 to 6 KNOWS HIS LIQUOR Kitchener, Ont.
