Drs. Donald L. Snow and Edward Satlenspiel, of the Maricopa County General hos pital, Phoenix. Ariz., present ed a paper showing that high percentage of patients obtained marked relief from pain and discomfort faster than possible with other drugs. Shortened labor and an almost negligible depress ing effect on infants are nota ble advantages. Previous studies showed a close relationship between in fant suffocation at birth and later defects in children caus ed by analgesic drugs requir ing strong doses. Numorphan, discovered and produced by E n d o laboratories of Rich mond Hill, N. Y., was given to 349 patients in labor dur ing the study, which was un dertaken on all obstetric pa tients admitted to the Mari copa hospital from Oct. 1, 1959, to April 15. 1960.

It was an interesting spec tacle, and It brought up many omsiions for which there are no answers. Would it be sensible to be lieve that some wise old sea gull, more observant than his mates, some time or oth er, watched a human fisher man crumbling up bread and chumming the water to lure A school of minnows over his waiting net?

(UPI Telephoto) Alaska Seeking Walrus Islands Juneau, Alaska - (UPD - Alas ka's Gov. William A. Egan has described state action to obtain the Walrus Islands in Bristol Bay as a major step in a firm conservation pro gram for the 49th state. A claim for the group of Is lands, just off the coast of Alaska, has been filed under the state's land selection pro gram by the department of natural resources. The request for the claim was made by the Alaska Board of Fish and Game. The islands are frequented each summer by a herd of 1,000 to 3,000 walruses and represent the last remaining site under the United States flag where walruses haul out on land.

Made to pamper your cat ... they're not just flavor they're the real thing. LIVER ' MEAT KIDNEY' MEAT CHICKEN MEATY MIX CHOPPED FISH Washington (UPD - Rep. John D. Dingell called the Federal Power Commission an "irresponsible do-nothing" agency which is neglecting its job of regulating the power industry. The attack by the liberal Michigan Democrat came as House investigators held hear ings on whether there have been back-door attempts to in- Business Paper Plans Pacific Issue New York - T!PD - The Jour nal of Commerce will issue its first Pacific edition Satur day in Tokyo for service to Far Eastern subscribers, it was announced today. Publisher Eric Ridder said the initial 24-page issue will be the second major expan sion move by the Journal of Commerce in six months. In December, 1959, the business daily inaugurated its Euro pean edition, distributed from Holland. The Pacific edition will be printed by the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, a Japanese business paper. The editorial comment will be the same as in the international edition now printed in New York. Ridder said studies are un derway "looking toward the creation of a Latin American edition." HARK! SHE HARKED Hickman, Ky. - (CPU - Mrs. Bearl Darnell, wife of the Fulton county school super intendent, has been indicated by a grand jury on charges of trying to eassdrop on a school board meeting to de cide whether to renew her husband's contract. The in dictment charged that Mrs. Darnell "did crawl or wrig gle her way on her all fours into a tiny crevice under the floor of the meeting house and did then and there harken after the discourse . . ." How Did Tha Ses Culls Know Enough To Fish? It took sixty loaves of bread and three entire days' time to prove it, and none of the bread we cast upon the waters ever came back: but the fishes did and so did the sea gulls. Several careful observers had told us that the sea gulls use bread for something else besides filling for their stom achs. On the strength of these arguments we decided to cast any quantity of bread neces sary to satisfy our curiosity about what we should have believed in the first place. Sea gulls prefer fish to any LINCOLN AUTHORITY DIES Madison, Wis. - lUPH - Louis W.

Half of the fresh oranges exported from the United States last year were sold to Canada. Most of the rest went to the Netherlands, Belgium and West Germany. fluence the FPC's rate-fixing decisions. Dingell said the inquiry by the House subcommittee on legislative oversight "high lights a particularly unsavory situation" in the FPC. He re ferred to a system which al lows natural gas pipeline companies seeking rate boosts to proceed with increasing their charges temporarily pending a decision by the FPC. New Petitions Due By this, he said pipeline firms have collected $662 mil lion through "self-imposed rale increases which have not yet been passed on" by the FPC. This will climb past $1 billion later this year as pipe lines file new rate boost pe titions faster than the agency rules upon them. "This immense backlog of pending gas rate cases stems in almost equal parts trom lack of ability on the part of members of the commission and from an outright disin terest in any real or effective regulation of the industry," he charged. "The inaction, disinterest and disregard of responsi bility in this agency have caused hardship on the con sumers and on the industry regulated alike," Dingell said. He said experience has shown that only about 40 per cent of these rate hikes even tually will be allowed and the balance later ordered refund ed to consumers. Meanwhile, however, the pipelines are free to use the money col lected temporarily for ex pansion, he said. To Continue To Climb Dingell said pipeline rate boosts have run 20 to 40 per cent and will continue to climb as long as the FPC runs its shop "in this slapdash, slovenly and irresponsible manner." He listed the Tennessee Gas Transmission Co. as the leader in increasing rates, with three boosts totaling $70,700,000 a year - a 36 per cent hike since 1957. Tennessee Gas Transmission is the parent firm of Mid western Gas Transmission Co., which figures prominent ly in the House hearings. A key topic of the investigation is off-record talks by Thomas G. (Tommy the Cork) Corcor an, one-time New Deal brain truster and now a lawyer for Midwester, with FPC mem bers while the firm had a case pending before the agency. High Court Rules On Local Cases Among the opinions hand ed down Wednesday by the Oregon supreme court were two cases which had been ap pealed from Jackson county. The supreme court upheld a rule by the former Circuit Judge H. K. Hanna in a 1957 case in which a new trial had been ordered after a juror in the assault and battery trial was charged with misconduct. The suit was brought by Clifford Eckel, by his guard ian Paul O. Eckle, Happy Valley dr., Medford, against John J. Breeze, 921 Murray ave. The supreme court also af firmed Judge Hanna's ruling setting aside $5,000 damages. The opinion was written by Justice George Rossman. A new trial was also order ed for the case of John B. Hamacher, Medford and San Francisco, against Earl S. Tumy and Gilbert S. Tumy, Medford. The opinion, written by Justice Keith O'Connel, re verses a ruling in favor of the broker by Circuit Judge Ed ward C. Kelly. The action brought by Ham acher, a sawmill operator, is against the insurance brokers to recover $33,430 in a fire loss not reimbursed by insur ance due to alleged failure of the broker to procure ad ditional coverage.

Both to day's gulls and their ancestors were brought up on a diet of seafood. Only within the last few years has other food, such as bread, popcorn, and crack ers in generous quantities been offered them. So for three days we arriv ed early on the beach loaded with bread. We fed the gulls all they could eat. The ate until they choked and had to wash the dry crusts down with seawater. When com pletely full most of them sat down on the warm sand, shut their eyes and went to sleep. They woke up hun gry. We were there to pass out more bread. All they had to do was eat, and eat they did. For three days this went on. By noon of the third day we could see that we were getting somewhere. Many of the gulls were beginning to show a reluctance to eat. Several of them just sat on the sand and looked at half a slice of bread without eat ing. Then some of them would grab a piece and fly away, cruising close to the water's surface. Selecting a likely spot they came to rest. Begin lo Grab Through our glasses we watched the birds breaking up the bread and dropping it. Then for a few minutes they sat very still on the water. Suddenly they began 'Shooting Stars' Pieces of Comets Washington - (Science Serv ice) - All the "shooting stars" bright enough to be seen by the naked eye are caused by tiny bits of comets hurtling through the earth's atmos phere. Comets also supply most of the tiny particles known as meteoroids that may be a danger to operating space ve hicles, Dr. Fred L. Whipple. director of the Smithsonian Institution's Astrophysical ob servatory, Cambridge. Mass., reported to the National Acad emy of Sciences here. The definite determination of the source of meteors in the visual range is based on analysis of several hundred meteor pho tographs taken with the Baker Super - Schmidt cameras in New Mexico. The cometary meteors are extremely fragile, and the density varies greatly from one meteor to another.
