(DPD A new electron microscope so pow erful and so secret that it was flown from West Germany 'with elaborate security pre cautions is now in use at the Baylor University College of Medicine in Houston. The high-powered instru ment i magnify electroni cally up to 160,000 times. With photographic enlarge ment, a magnification of up to two million' is possible. The new $28,000 instrument iwill be used at Baylor in re search and training studies of the ' ultra-structure of both plant and human cells. - "No cell can escaparits pow erful eye,'K Dr. J. C. Hampton said. "It lends itself to experi mental biology as well as use in clinical investigation ' of speciments taken at biopsy, and can be used as a diagnos tic tool." t ; , Unlike the conventional mi croscope, the electron micro scope utilizes an electrostatic or. electromagnetic field as a lens.

Law Stacked Against Man Who Ga ve U p U.S. Citizenship Washington -fflPD-' Nicholas Petrulli, who renounced his American citizenship in hopes of becoming a Soviet national but now regrets it, appeared today to be a man without a country. State Department legal ex perts called the case unprece dented. They searched for ways to help Petrulli out of his dilemma but said the law seemed stacked against the Valley Stream, N. Y., man who got carried away by what he saw in Russia as a tourist. 'A Stupid Thing Petrulli formally renounced his U. S. citizenship last week during a trip to Moscow. Tuesday, he said he had done "a stupid thing" and asked if he could come back . to this country. The State Department was waiting for the official docu ments on what they called a "freak" case. These papers, in cluding Petrulli's renunciation of his oath of allegiance to the United States, were en route to Washington from the em bassy in Moscow. They were expected to arrive Saturday. One State Department offi cial said "he's a man without a country at the moment, but very frankly we don't know too much about the case. It's squarely in the laps of the legal people." . . , - The legal experts said their initial reading of the law in dicated very little flexibility that would permit them to dis regard the action Petrulli al ready had taken. . The question turned on whether the renunciation was completed when Petrulli sign ed it or becomes effective when it is accepted by the State Department in Washing ton, i One official said "the law looked to me as if it's all over for him at this stage." But he quickly added . that there might be other considerations not immediately apparent. Tests Predict Future Suicides Cincinnati, Ohio -(Science Service) Personality tests can be used to predict which mental patients" will later at tempt or succeed in killing themselves. How to predict suicide was described to the American Psychological Asso ciation here by two research teams from Veterans hospitals in Los Angles, Calif., Durham, N. C, and Brockton, Mass. Significant answers to the standard "MMPI" personality test were found to character ize persons who later showed various kinds of suicidal behavior,- Drs. Norman L. :Far berow and Edwin S.' Shneid man of VA Center, Los An geles, told the meeting. The well known Rorschach ink blot test can be used to spot' the person who "may wind up a suicide, Drs, Paul G. Daston of ' VA Hospital, Durham, N. C., and George A. Sakheim ' of VA Hospital, Brockton, M a s s., reported. One way of scoring the test classified correctly 83 per cent of non - suicidal mental pa tients, 72 per cent 'of those who la,ter tried to kill them selves and 82 per . cent of those who were actually sue cessful suicides. - ; . Sheriffs Office Doubts Housewife Hit by Plane Part Los Angeles-WPD-The sher iffs office said today it has a statement casting doubt on a claim that a - housewife was struck by a piece of a wing flap that fell off a Boeing 707 jetliner.
