Newly - Patented Attack Boat Could Menace Enemy Shipping Washington - (Science Serv-1 ice)-A highly versatile attack boat just patented could con stitute a serious menace to enemy ships in time of war. The boat can travel along the surface of the water at speeds above 55. knots. It can also submerge, fire torpedoes and rest on the ocean bottom by means of extendible legs. Present rapid attack boats, says inventor Lapo Legat of Trieste, Italy, are solely sur face vessels or, if submersi ble, cannot develop high sur face speeds. Uses Hydrofoils Legat's boat, for which he received patent No. 2,918,029, makes use of hydrofoils both below and above the surface. The hydrofoils may be repo sitioned to serve as dive and elevator controls when the craft moves under the water. Another of the 927 patents granted here this week by the U.S. Patent Office is a me chanically operated bow for violins or other stringed in struments. The purpose of the bow is to produce a uniform, con tinuous and extended sound whose loudness can be in creased or decreased. A pur pose might also be to ease the strain on the violinist's right arm. For, though held in the conventional manner, the me chanical bow is hot moved in the usual to-and-fro way. Two Sets of Strands Invented by Luciano Luc chesi of Johannesburg, Union of South Africa, the bow (No. 917,963) has two sets of strands, each having its ends joined together and formed in a kind of endless, movable belt. These hair or nylon strands, which move in oppo site directions, are driven by an electric motor that is op erated by a foot pedal. Another patent (No. 2,918, 349) went to Glenn T. Sea borg, winner of the 1951 No bel Prize in chemistry. Dr. Seaborg's invention is a meth od of extracting plutonium from the contaminated urani um and fission products that form in a nuclear reactor us ing uranium 238 as fuel. Preservation of milk by freezing has not proven en tirely satisfactory because of the tendency for the fat in the milk to separate out when the milk is thawed. William Gardiner Wearmouth of Read ing, England, has found that milk subjected to vibrations at ultra-sonic frequencies can be stored in a frozen state for a relatively long time without this undesirable fat separation on thawing. He received patent No. 2,918,380 for a method by which milk is first pasteur ized, then vibrated, filled into i?aled packages and dipped in a cold liquid for freezing, j v fc will For those who become an noyed at the warping or "popping" of their color slides when they have been subject ed too long to the high heat in a slide projector, Samuel F. Schneider of Ann- Arbor, Mich., has come up with what he believes is a solution to this annoying phenomenon, Because of the multi-layer ed nature of the film itself, he says, a slide is seldom per fectly flat. The heat of the projector tends to flatten the slide, causing the "popping1 and subsequent poor focus. His device (No. 2,917,855) con sists essentially of a metallic template that may be applied to the slide frame to make the whole unit flat before it is inserted in the projector. . Novelty seekers and detec tives may be interested in a rear view mirror for eye glasses (No. 2,917,970) invent ed by Lillian S. La Bard of New York City, The adjustable mirror is clipped on to the side of one lens rim and may be used "as a toy or novelty by adults and children," and to "ful fill a serious purpose in pro viding a rear view for driv ing, bicycling and detective work." Maximum use can be gotten out of a tea bag with a new tea brewing device (No. 2,918, 373) invented by Sydney R. Weston of Silver Spring, Md. The device is a metal disc that fits over the top of the cup, which has a narrow cen tral slit through which the bag may be pulled and squeez ed dry. Other interesting patents of the week include a bagel and donut slicer (No. 2,918,099) for easy and safe lengthwise slicing, a basketball training device (No. 2,918,283) that narrows the diameter of the basket so that the ball will have to be accurately aimed in order to go through it, and apparatus (No. 2,917,994) for printing on articles with curv ed or conical surfaces, such as bowling balls. A pre-assembled door and casing (No. 2,917,790), a com bination cup and stirring de vice (No. 2,918,203) and a paint brush attachment (No. 2,917,763) that allows two Caryl Chessman To Learn Fate Tucson, Ariz. - (UPD Caryl Chessman, who" has spent nearly 12 years in a San Quentin death row cell, will be told Monday whether he will get a new appeal hear ing. Federal Judge Richard H. Chambers was scheduled to rule then on Chessman's re quest. Chessman is scheduled to be executed Feb. 19. A. L. Wirin, attorney, for the American Civil Liberties Union, said Friday Chessman should be granted an appeal hearing before the full U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals and not only Chief Judge Cham bers. The appeal seeks a stay of execution, permission to pre sent the case on typewritten documents rather than print ed ones, and a certificate of probable cause. The certifi cate of probable cause would have the effect of the court's formally accepting the appeal. Deputy California Attorney General Arlo E. Smith,, in op posing the motion, said the U.S. Supreme Court's refusal to review the case made it clear it considered the dis puted transcript was accurate. Chessman was given the death sentence on a 1948 con viction. He contends the transcript of his trial was in accurate because of the death of the court reporter during the proceedings. brushes of different sizes to be used interchangeably also received patents. Group Attempts to Conserve Tortoises Brussels - (Science Service) - The newly formed Charles Darwin foundation for the Galapagos islands is sending an international biological ex pedition to the Galapagos in an effort to conserve the re maining tortoises there. A zoologist will establish a Volcano Activity Reported Dying Out in Hawaii Pahoa, Hawaii - (UPD -Scientists said Saturday the vol canic activity of the past weeks appears to be dying out. "It looks closer to the end now than at any time," said Don Richter, of the govern ment geology station. The llovr of lava halted almost completely Saturday, and an ominous steam fountain that sprang up' Friday ended without causing any dam age. Kilauea has been spouting red hot lava since Jan. 13, sometimes shooting a fiery stream high into the air. The eruption was accompanied by jarring earth tremors in the entire Puna district. Lava spilled over the rim of the crater and moved down the side of the mountain to the sea, incinerating everything in its path. The eruptions, which began as an attraction tor tourists who came on special flights from Honolulu to see the vol cano, later became a threat of Unpredictable and immense power to the residents of the towns and countryside on this island. No deaths or injuries were reported, but 64 houses were destroyed and an estimated $5,000,000 property damage was caused by the flowing lava, which covered 2,000 acres. Richter said the fountains which sprang up yesterday with renewed force "gradu ally died down today." He said there were no earth movements in the area of the fissures and this indicated the lava was running its course. Figure Boy's Age Doctors Trying to Portland (UPD Doctors at two hospitals here Friday ex amined a young Korean boy to determine his age. The boy. Ricky Johnson, is the adopted son of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Johnson of Mc Minnville. He is one of the Korean orphans brought to the United States in the Harry Holt Babylift. The boy is supposed to be four years old, but no one is sure. Asia accounts for more than 95 per cent of the world's out put of tea, with the rest being grown in Africa and Russia. The Belgian Congo in Afri ca produces an estimated 60 per cent of the free world's supply of uranium. The tiny southwestern En glish port of Portland dates ! back 3,500 years, to the Phoe necian traders. Seaweed Serving as Whole Blood Substitute - Chicago (Science Service) a seaweed compound mixed with water can substitute for whole blood in transfusions, two Japanese surgeons report ed here. Solutions of the gelatin-like substance which comes from the cells of the giant brown seaweed have been success fully used in 102 abdominal operations, they reported in the current issue of the Jour nal of the International Col lege of Surgeons. The use of "alginon," as the compound is called, is based largely on earlier re search with another seaweed derivative called "algin" from sodium alginate. Both com pounds have been tested as whole blood substitutes be cause they are made up of large protein molecules or polymers. Like natural blood plasma, solutions of the sea weed compounds stay inside the blood vessels, keeping blood pressure from dropping to dangerous levels. No Spleen Damage The new seaweed com pound alginon does not dam age the spleen, nor does it cause hemorrhages in the skin, reported Drs. Masanobu Tomoda and Kyoshi Inokuchi of the Kyushu University Medical school, Fukuoka, Japan. In tests with rabbits that had suffered bad burns or had lost a lot of blood - both shock conditions - no harmful research station in collabora tion with the Ecuadorian Gov ernment's scientists. Grants to support this program have come from UNESCO, the Gul benkian foundation and oth ers. The strange differences be tween the various' tortoises and other fauna on islands in the Galapagos group press ed Charles Darwin when he visited the islands in 1835, and gave him the clue that led to "The Origin of Species" in 1859. Tortoises Famous The most famous of all the islands' animals are the giant tortoises. The Spanish word for tortoise, "galapago," gave the islands their name. Fifteen species or races of tortoises are found there, each with small but vital distinc tions from the others. On some of the Galapagos islands the tortoises . have completely disappeared. On Barrington - and Charles is lands they have long been ex tinct, and it is believed that the Duncan island species has been wiped out in the last 50 years. On five other islands tortoises are very rare. Five Distinct Species Fortunately, tortoises are still common on Indefatigable and on Albemarle, the largest island in the group, where there are no less than five distinct species. These are be lieved to have evolved when Albemarle's five volcanoes were separate islands. Al though the five peaks have since been united into one island by the rising of the sea bed, they are separated by lava deserts, and remain eco logical islands. The giant tortoises are still in considerable danger. They have the ill fortune to be thought good food. Also, their young are collected and sold as souvenirs to tourists on visiting cruise ships. Another unusual reptile sci entists on the expedition will try to save is the marine iguana, which has also de veloped small inter-island dif ferences. At high tide, hun dreds of these iguana bask on the lava cliffs of the Galapa gos. When the tide goes out, they swim out to feed on sea weed on the exposed flats. Danger of Extinction The marine iguana is also in danger of extinction be cause men kill them for their skins and wild dogs eat them. The government of Ecuador is itself convinced of the im portance of preservation work in the Galapagos, but its main problem is enforcement. The presence of biologists resi dent in the islands and taking a continuous interest in what is going on may be the first step to greater understanding of the evolutionary signifi cance of the islands' fauna. Also the depredations of per sons who have no real idea, of the damage they are doing may be checked. i Enjoy This Sunday BREAKFAST Before or After Church ... (Served Anytime) at the Hotel Medford Dining Room CHILDREN ALWAYS WELCOME changes in physiological proc esses were detected. Autopsies showed no effects on spleen, liver, kidney, adrenal gland, lung or brain tissues. Findings Listed Furthermore, 70 per cent of the alginon was excreted within 24 hours, indicating that "alginon has a proper period of retention in the blood without depositing it self in tissue," Drs. Tomota and Inokuchi said. It is better than the sugar- or salt-water solutions sometimes used in emergency transfusions be cause it is chemically stable, it improves the blood's ability to coagulate, and it does not dilute the capillary blood so that few red cells reach the tissues of extremities such as fingers or toes. Unlike earlier versions of sodium alginate, this seaweed compound is said to cause virtually no harm. "Of a total of 477 cases there was a fever in 0.8 per cent; chills occurred in 0.8 per cent, and other complica tions were almost negligible," the Japanese surgeons said. No skin hemorrhages were found. Queen Observes Death of Father, King George VI London - (UPD - Queen Eliza beth Saturday observed the anniversary of the death of her father, George VI and her accession to the throne eight years ago. Cannon boomed and toasts to the queen rang out the length and breadth of Britain, but Elizabeth spent the day quietly in Buckingham palace awaiting the birth of her third child-which could occur with in the next few days. The Duke of Edinburgh re turned to Buckingham palace from Sandringham to be with his wife. A crowd cheered him at the gates at Buckingham as 62-gun salutes boomed from the tower of London and a 41-gun salute was fired at Hyde park. It was at Sandringham eight years ago Saturday that King George VI, a gentle monarch, died quietly in his sleep.

They hurried home in grief, with the young Eliza beth automatically transform ed into the queen. As the Duke of Edinburgh arrived at Buckingham Satur day, palace officials hastened to announce that his arrival did not mean the birth of their third child was imminent. People Confused They feared people might forget the anniversary and take the duke's arrival and the cannon salutes as the sig nal that a royal child had been born. Britons were wait ing anxiously for the moment when, if all goes well, they can break out the bunting, cheer in the streets, and raise glasses to the new member of the House of Windsor. The cannon salutes led many .Britons to call news paper offices to ask, "Is it a boy or a girl?" All was in readiness at Buckingham, where the queen will have her baby. The same room where she gave girth to Prince Charles and Princess Anne has been set up as a de livery room. Physicians and nurses were in attendance.
