Sterilization by radiation offers the first promising new principle of food sterilization since Appert discovered the art of canning In 1809. Dr. C. H. Wang, professor of chemistry and chairman of the campus radiation safety 1 committee, said with the new $20,000 cobalt irradiation fa cility, it will be possible for OSC scientists to subject foods to 3,000 to 500,000 roentgens of radiation an hour. Five hundred roentgens will kill a man. . ' By using smaller doses of Irradiation (radio-pasteurization), the bacterial popula tion of micro-organisms can be reduced B0 to 99 per cent without causing undesirable changes in food. Considerable Research In past years,; OSC has done considerable irradiation research on meats and sea foods. This research' will be expanded and other work on genetic changes In Insects, ir radiation damage to plastics and other materials, and ra diation decomposition of chemicals will be started. , Ironically, in . recent re search, OSC bacteriologists have isolated a bacteria that can withstand an unusully large dosage.

SP 3-5896 Physical Sciences Summer Institute Set for Teachers Eugene - A Summer Insti tute in the Physical Sciences for Elementary Teachers will be conducted at the University of Oregon from June 19 to Aug. 12, under a grant of $42, 000 from the National Science Foundation. Purpose of the institute, which will be under the di rection of Dr. E. G. Ebbighau sen, professor of physics in the university, is to improve the science background of elemen tary school teachers. Thirty-five participants will be selected from elementary schools in Oregon, Washing ton, Idaho, Montana, Wyom ing, and northern California. Each participant will receive a stipend of $75 per week for the eight-week period, plus allowance for dependents and travel. Requirements of the insti tute will be one course in each of the subjects of astronomy, geology, meteorology, and mathematics. The four courses are all designed specifically for the elementary school teachers. Instructors in the institute will include, Dr. Ebbighausen; Vern Hiebert, assistant pro fessor of mathematics, Oregon College of Education; and James Stovall, associate pro fessor of geology in the Uni versity of Oregon. The institute will be one of IB for elementary school teachers throughout the United States. All Inquiries concerning the institute should be sent to the director, addressed to the Elementary Science Institute, Science building, University of Oregon, Eugene.

Family Branches Convinced Other Gravely in Error , By LOUIS CASSELS UPI Correspondent ' ' Of all the doctrines that di vide Protestants and Cath olics none arouses greater emotion than, the veneration of the Virgin Mary. - Devotion to Mary plays a very important part in Cath olic religious life. But the mother of Jesus is rarely men tioned in Protestant churcnes except at Christmas time. Each branch of the Chris tian family in convinced that the other is gravely in error.' Catholics say that Protes tants are denying Mary the honor that is rightfulyl hers. Danger of 'Mariolairy' Protestants say that Cath olics are in danger of slipping into "mariolatry" - the idola trous worship of a human creature. In this matter, as in others, there is a tendency for Cath olics and Protestants to mag nify their differences to the point of obscuring their com mon beliefs. All Christians who believe in the miracle of the Incarna tion must look upon Mary with awe and respect. The New Testament depicts her as an humble and devout Jewish maiden who was chosen by God for a central role in His supreme self-revelation to men. Mary, the scrip tures say, conceived while a virgin, and bore a child in whom divine and human na t u r e s were inseparatably united. This child was Jesus Christ, whom Christians have hailed for 20 centuries as the son of God, the Lord and Savior of mankind. Say Little About Mary Beyond the tremendous af firmation that she was the human vehicle by which the world of God was made flesh, the scriptures say relatively little about Mary. They record just enough of her story to make clear that she was a wise and tender mother. She did not always fully under stand her extraordinary Son, but she remained close to Him throughout His early ministry, and stood at the foot of His cross when He gave up His life to atone for men's sins. Protestants, who regard the Bible as the only authoritative source of doctrine, stop there in their beliefs about Mary. But Catholics believe that the traditions of the church, handed down orally through the centuries, can be as valid a source of doctrine as the written record of the Gospels. On this basis, the Catholic church makes several asser tions about Mary which go beyond the Biblical record.' It teachers, for example, that Mary was preserved from all taint of sin from the mo- Kids Run on It Barefooted I ir Can MEDFOHD MAIL ment she was conceived in her own mother's womb (the dog ma of the Immaculate Concep tion) and that she was bodily assumed into heaven when she died (the dogma of the As sumption, proclaimed by Pope Pius XII in. 1950). Catholics also believe that Mary, as "the mother of God," has special prerogatives in heaven,, including power to intercede on behalf of the faithful who pray for her help. It is a widely held belief that she is "the mediatress of all graces" - the one through whom all spiritual gifts are distributed. ' ' May Become Dogma Many Catholics expect this belief to be elevated to the status of a dogma at the forth coming ecumenical council in Rome. A dogma is a teaching which Catholics are required to believe as essential to sal vation. One Catholic bishop has proposed that the ecumenical council go farther and pro claim Mary "co-redemptrix"-a full ."partner" with Christ in the redemption of the world from sin. ' Such titles make Protestants shudder. They say that Cath olics seem to be forgetting the clear Biblical teaching that "there is only one mediator between God and men, name ly Jesus Christ." Some alarm ed Protestant theologians as sert that Catholic doctrine is only one short step away from attributing divinity to Mary. Catholic scholars vigorous ly deny that. They say that Catholic teaching treats Mary only as "the most exalted of human creatures" and that it explicity forbids any "ador ation" of her as a divine being. - Some Catholics acknowl edge, however, that popular piety is not always as careful as official theology in draw ing this important distinction. Prayers to Many Saints Catholics accord veneration, and offer prayers, to many saints besides Mary. They be lieve that all saints are able to intercede with God and ob tain special blessings, and sometimes miracles, for de vout souls who seek their aid. According to Catholic teach ing, saints go directly to kafa?

This photograph, made last week, cor roborates their complaints. The street and sidewalks fre quently look as bad as this, or worse, despite the fact that several waste paper containers are nearby. heaven when they die. Those who die in mortal sin go di rectly to eternal punishment in hell. Christians who are neither saints nor mortal sin ners go first to purgatory, to be "cleansed" by a period of temporary suffering, and then go on to heaven. Catholics believe that pruyers and acts of extraordi nary piety by the living may obtain "indulgences" - re missions of temporal punish ment and speedier release from purgatory. The indul gence may be sought for one self, or for a loved one who has died. The church is re garded as having full discre tionary power to grant such indulgences in the name of God. The charge that the church was "selling" indulgences -granting them in return for financial contributions - was a principal factor in the Pro testant Reformation. To avoid any repetition of this scandal, the Catholic church now has strict rules against granting an indulgence for contribu tions to any pious cause what ever.

Catholic's Life Agriculture Secretary Takes Turn on Elevator ; Washington - OIPD - Agriculture Secretary Orville L. Freeman is not using the "instant elevator" button he in herited from his predecessor, Ezra T. Benson. , The button was installed at a receptionist's desk in tho agriculture secretary's outer office during Benson's term. The object was to make sure that when the secretary was ready to leave his second-floor office, he didn't have to wait for an elevator. The button controls the-two automatic elevators serving the central wing of the Agriculture department's main ad ministration building. When it is pressed, both elevators are held at the second floor. Would-be passengers on other floors of the building have to wait. A Freeman aide confirmed today, in answer to a re porter's query, that the new agriculture secretary ordered use of the device dropped shortly after taking office. When Freeman leaves his office, the aide said, he walks down the single flight of stairs to the ground floor or pushes the regular elevator button like everyone else. '.
