Researchers Find
Wafer Will Drug
SaltWaler Snails
London-(Sclence Service)-
Physiologists in the Union of
South Africa have solved a
long-standing research prob
lem-how to anesthetize a salt
water snail.
These creatures are rather
resistant to anesthetics. They
can be rendered Insensitive to
pain, but even when so heav
ily drugged that they do not
recover their powerful mus
cles will not relax. These
muscle contractions make ex
perimental surgery almost
impossible.
Dr. A. C. Brown of the Uni
versity of Cape Town noticed
that marine snails lost their
ability to crawl and cannot
moved at all if they come too
far inland where fresh water
dilutes the salty sea.
Clue Found
Taking this clue into the
laboratory, Dr. Brown and a
colleague, Dr. B. J. Kriigs-
man, also of the university,
found that muscle contrac
tions in two snail species,
Sullia digitalis and Bullia lae-
vissima, could be completely
eliminated by reducing the
salimtq of their watery envi'
ronment. The distilled water,
added gradually to the sea
water, seeps into the snail's
bodily tissues by a process
known as osmosis.
With tissues swollen to the
point that muscles cannot
move, the stiffened snail is
In a state of "water rigor,'
and can be operated upon sues
cessfully. Remaining in this
state for several hours has no
apparent ill effect, and once
back in sea water, the animal
recovers and behaves nor
mally. The physiologists, report
ing here in Nature believe
the "water rigor" technique
might find wider application
in the field of gastropod phy
siology. But one question is still un
answered: How do you anes
thetize a fresh water snail?

American leaders in many
fields expressed in a poll con
ducted by the National Plan
ning association here.
The poll was completed be
fore the U2 incident and the
collapse of the summit con
ference. The association sent ques
tionnaires to 944 members of
its board of trustees, national
council and standing commit
tees. The 396 who answered
represented agriculture, busi
ness, labor and the profes
sions. Seventy-two per cent said
nuclear war was possible but
not likely by 1980. Twenty
per cent said it was highly
improbable. Only six per cent
said nuclear war was likely.
Underwater Sound
Travels 12,000 Miles
New York - (Science Serv-ice)-Underwater
sound waves
from depth charges have been
detected at a record distance
of 12,000 miles, or virtually
half way around the world.
The previous record was
approximately 3,000 miles.
Recording of the shots fired
from the research vessel,
Vema, was reported by Co
lumbia university's Seismic
and SOFAR station in Ber
muda, to Dr. Maurice Ewing,
director of the Lamont Geo
logical observatory at Pali
sades, N.Y.
Acoustic waves from the
shots, fired off southern Aus
tralia on March 21, reached
the Bermuda station in ap
proximately 144 minutes.
They traveled through the
water, following the sound
channel axis near the surface
in the south and dropping to
depths of about 4,200 feet
near the equator.

English Scientist
Proposes New
Creation Theory
London - (Science Service)
- A new theory of how the
sun's family of planets were
born by being torn from the
sun's substance when another
star passed close by was pro
posed here last week.
Dr. M. W. Woolfson, physic
department, College of,
Science and Technology, Man
chester, England, suggests a
new variation on the old
theme that the planets were
formed when the sun mil
another star passed close to
eacn ouier. This theory was)
once generally accepted but
now Is supported by only a
few astronomers became th
chances of close passage ot
two stars are extremelv omnil.
among other reasons.
A current view of planet
formation is that the planets)
resulted from gravitational at
traction in eddies and turbu
lent areas remalnins In th
gas and dust surrounrilns thm
sun after it was formed.
One new variation is Dr.
Woolfson's theory in his sug
gestion that the material for
the formation of the planets)
was removed from the sun In
12 hours.
Woolfson's Theory
Dr. Woolfson's theorv l aa
follows:
At some time in the remnta
past a star 100 times a mass.
ive as the sun passed within a
distance of ten times the ilni
radius. (The solar radius is)
about 433,000 miles.) As it ap
proached the sun. the nssln
star raised a tide on the solar
surface that increased in
height as the star drew closer.
Eventually a Dortlon at thm
tip of thi; tidal bulge was
more attracted by the star
than by the sun, and broke off.
nuto, the outermost planet,
was the first thus formed.
This loss of material at the
solar surface set up waves
that traveled around the sua
until they reached the region
facing the oncoming star.
This wave crest was then torn
off to form Neptune, the sec-
ona outermost planet.
New Ware Started
A new wave was then set
up, which gave the planet
Uranus, and then Saturn and
jupiier were lormea in a simi
lar way. At this stage, the
Bar was approacning 11a
closest to the sun and was
able to draw material out
quite regularly.

ompufer Could
Reproduce and
mprove Offspring
Ann Arbor, Mich.-(Science
Service) - Man, theoretically,
can build a self-reproducing,
self-improving computer ma
chine whose descendant
might even be smarter. than '
the man who thought it up.
Prof. John Myhill of Stan
ford university, speaking at
the University 01 Michigan
here, advised students of the
possibility of an "Adam" auto
mata computer system.
The mathematics professor
said a self-improving series of
machines would each have
builder, instructor and com
puter components.
After instruction to repro
duce itself and improve its
"off - spring," the machine
would produce a better ver
sion of itself.
Each succeeding machine
would be better than its pre
decessor. Its computer would
be faster and more efficient.
Improvements mainly would
come from the devising of bet
ter circuits, as the machines
reproduced.
System Already Exists
A self - reproducing system
already exists at Bell Tele
phone Laboratories In an elec
tric toy train that takes cars
from a siding and reproduces
Itself.
Prof. Myhill predicted that
a self-Improving, self -reproducing
system "will happen as
soon as somebody wants to
build a non-trivial self-reproducer,
and has the money."
Prof. Myhill was asked If
the machines could even be
come smarter than the men
who originated them. He,an
swered that if a computer' net
work can build another net
work "smarter" than itself,
the brain could also build a
network smarter than itself.
