Millions of Mayflies
Live Only to Die
Sometime during the warm
summer night in the waters
of the lake, nature must have
pulled the "big" lever, and
hundreds of millions of may
flies were ready to take to
the air. A gentle breeze car
ries the teeming multitude
shoreward.
Other millions fall back
into the water and die. This
happens every year on most
lakes and rivers when the
countless nymphs of the may
fly suddenly complete their
next-to-last molt, and forsake
the water, where they have
lived for many months, to
become winged insects with
the ability of flight.
Those that escape death in
the water fly shoreward, as
do those that have laid their
eggs. Millions die in the
streets wherever there is a
street light. Sometimes their
numbers in the streets be
come so great the pavement
becomes so slippery from the
crushed bodies as to impede
motor traffic.
Description
Individually, the mayfly
looks something like an over
grown mosquito. The wings
are transparent with many
conspicuous veins. When the
insect is at rest, the wings
are held over the body in a
vertical position. The body
is soft and shiny. Two or
three long, very conspicuous
filaments are attached to
the rear of the body; these
stream out behind when the
insect is in flight, making
the creature appear as if it
were trailing two or three
ravclings.
The female mayfly drops
her eggs while flying over
water. The eggs are contained
in tiny cases that usually
break on contact with water,
liberating the eggs that im
mediately sink to the bottom.
After hatching, the tiny lar
vae secrete themselves un
der stones or other debris.
Now they are called nymphs.
Live in Mud
, At this stage they have gills
alongside their bodies. For
months they live in the mud
of the lake or river bottom
eating vegetable matter.
Game fish feed on them, but
there are always enough. The
time comes when they crawl
up out of the water. The skin
along the back splits and the
near-adult crawls forth. Un
counted millions are hatching
from their shells at the same
time.
Their flight through the
summer night is very brief;
all they know is to fly, to
attempt to lay more eggs be
fore they die. The dance of
the mayflies becomes a mass
movement. Millions and mil
lions will die, but if a single
pair survive it is enough.
The secret remains; why is
nature so abundant in her
production? Why all the prep
aration of development in the
waters of the lake for many
months to create a winged in
sect that will live but a few
hours? But in their senseless
dying, once again, enough
eggs are deposited to assure
other swarms, another sea-
son. In the seemingly sense
less and extravagant produc
tion of mayflies there must
be a reason.

Morse To Pass Up
Convention for
Sake of Party Unity
LA;
tfMfe n 0 t to

1 gation" i
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune
Washington Correspondent
Washington (Special) - Sen.
Wayne Morse is planning to
pass up the Democratic na-
f "onal conven-
Jk' Of Hon at Los
ivngeics so as
not to "em-
rass the
dele-
which
1 is committed
to Sen. John
Kennedy.
Before h i s
Kbt. smit defeat at Ken
nedy's hands in the Oregon
primary, the Oregon senator
had planned to attend the
convention, hopefully with a
block of delegates supporting
his own presidential aspira
tions. He expected to attend
as an alternate, chosen by the
elected delegates.
"The Morse family will
view the Democratic con
vention from the television
screen in our home in Eu
gene," explained Morse. "We
may have a family reunion,
and we expect to have a love
ly time."
Morse's decision to stay
away from the Los Angeles
convention removes the likli
hood of any fireworks some
Kennedy supporters feared he
might have set off had he
been on the scene as an alter
nate. Under the Oregon pri
mary law, the state's delega
tion is bound to Kennedy so
long as he has 35 per cent of
the total number of delegates
attending the convention.
To Head Delegation
Rep. Edith Green, formerly
Morse's staunch ally in poli
tical battles of the past until
she became Kennedy's cam
paign chairman in Oregon,
will likely head the Oregon
delegation to the convention
for having led the ticket with
the highest number of votes
for delegates. .
Morse said of his position:
I wouldn't embarrass the
Oregon delegation at the con
vention by attending."
"That s the way, he added
at length, "to build party
unity."
Morse is talking now like a
man who may turn his back
on the upcoming political
campaign. If anyone wants
him to campaign for them,
they will have to request it,
he says. He has made his
standing offer to the Demo
cratic National Committee to
go on speechmaking tours, as
he has in other election years.
He may, instead, go to
South America. Last fall he
and Mrs. Morse visited a num
ber of Latin countries to study
problems affecting US-Latin
relations. As the election cam
paign comes on, if his cam
paign services aren't being
sought, Morse says he will re
sume his tour of South Ameri
ca. As of now.. It is evident he
has no plans to campaign for
Mrs. Maurine Neuborger in
her Senate campaign this fall
- nor does Mrs. Nei hcrgcr
have any plan to enlist his
support.
Morse was invited to at
tend a "Washington Good
Luck to Maurine Luncheon"
here Wednesday, but he turn
ed it down. Mrs. Neuberger
flew in from Oregon for the
function, sponsored by prom
inent Democrats led by Osc;
Chapman, Truman's Interior
Secretary
"I've got a campaign deficit
to make up," explained Morse
with a smile when asked
whether he had bought any of
the $25 per plate tickets that
are going to help raise funds
for her campaign

El Centro, Calif.-IUPD-A lost '.
balloon that towers 40-stories
high was found today drifting
over the California-Mexico
border at an estimated alti
tude of 80,000 feet.
The world's largest balloon,
Skyhook Glynco, dangling a
possibly priceless cargo of in
formation about cosmic rays j
gathered in the thin cold up
per air, first was seen by an
El Central service station op

The observer called sher

Chance-Vought brought
into action its huge satellite
tracking camera with a tele

and direction of the drifting
balloon. It determined the
balloon was driving toward
