They will be able to study plants and animals in environ ments of the scientists' own choosing. Plans for the new controlled - environment lab oratory, being constructed with the help of a $1,500,000 grant from the National Sci ence Foundation here, include some 30 artificially lighted growth rooms. Areas for steri lization, harvesting, photog raphy, as well as equipment and space for nutrient culture work will be provided. Temperature Controlled The animal study section will contain rooms with pre cise control of temperature. humidity, light, noise, air ve locity and atmospheric com position and pressure.' Closed circuit- television viewing of plants and animals will tlso be possible. The laboratory, which will be built at the University of Wisconsin, will permit "indi vidual control of a whole range of climatic variables," Dr. Alan Waterman, NSF di rector, said. Physiological, e c o 1 ogicaL pathological, behavioral and climatological problems can all be studied at the new fa cility, he pointed out. "The laboratory will be available for use by all qualified investi gators, and living facilities will be made available by the University for those who come to use the laboratory for extended periods." Hawaiians Said to Live Longer Than Mainlanders New York-(Science Service) Hawaiians, the newest mem bers in the United States, live longer than their mainland counterparts. The latest available statis tics show that the average life span for males in Hawaii is 67.76 years or two and one- quarter years longer than men on the U. S. mainland. Females Live Longer Female Hawaiians can ex pect to live just slightly long er than American women. Hawaiian women have a lon gevity average of 71.29 years, statistics reveal. The leading causes of death are about the same for Hawaii as for the U. S. Heart disease ranks far ahead as the number one menace. In the continental U.S., heart and renal diseases cause 54.5 per cent of all deaths. In Hawaii, the same diseases cause one-third of the total number of deaths. Cancer is the number two menace in Hawaii just as it is on the mainland. This dis ease is responsible for one sixth of all deaths in each lo cation, according to figures compiled by the National Health Education Committee, Inc., New York. Continental Americans ap pear to have more fatal acci dents, however. This is the number three cause of deaths in the U.S. while accidents rank fourth as a cause of death in the Islands. Hawaii's third ranking kill er is the U. S.'s fourth, dis eases of early infancy. Influ-' enza and pneumonia take fifth place in both locations, how ever. Policemen Taught Careful Shooting Oakland. Calif.-flJPD-A gun man standing in front of sev-' eral children fires at a police man, what does the police man do? If he works in Oakland, he - doesn't ire back since he might h '."'he -hildren. This is typical of the situa tions presented to rookies at tending a police academy course here. They stand seven feet from a moving picture screen arm ed with a pistol loaded with wax bullets while colored slides depictingjvarious shoot ing situations are flashed on the screen. It's up to the re cruit to decide instantly whether to fire, run for cover or take other action. Another aspect of the pro gram is night shooting. Lt. Joseph Lawrence points out that "an officer isvapt to do much more shooting at night," so rookies now practice firing at targets 7, 15 and 25 yards away in darkness. To pick out the traget at 25 yards, how ever, they can use a flashlight.
