Long Senate Wail
Washington-fliTO-The record
$47.8 billion defense money
bill, approved by the House,
appeared to be in for a long
wait before the Senate gets
around to it.
The House passed the big
appropriation bill last week,
producing no real question
about its general provisions
during two days of debate.
But debate was expected to
assume filibuster proportions
over literacy tests in the Sen
ate. It was scheduled to begin
in the Senate Tuesday and
promised difficulties for the
defense bill.
Restrict Use
A filibuster over the pro
posal to restrict use of literacy
tests as a federal voting pre
requisite would make commit
tee meetings impossible.
The Senate Militarv Ann
priations subcommittee has
held hearings on the bill, but
it must hear the Pentaaon's
requests for restoration of
House cuts before it can draft
Its version of the giant money
Din.
The House passed the bill
388-0, and its sponsors said
additional billions not carried
in the legislation will be spent

Man Has Gotten Into Act of
Producing Precious Gems
Nature has always held a
monopoly on the making of
precious gems, but man has
tried to get into the act-wlth
nature s help.
A marine worm may sneak
inside an oyster shell and de
posit an CZtt. Rv rhnnio II
might be an infertile egg. It
is pushed and shoved by the
muscular contractions of the
oyster ooay, but it sticks.
Like the human system
builds a scab over a cut, the
oyster body chemistry tries
to isolate the hard object by
covering It over with nacre,
or shell material. It's a long
and tedious process. Nacre
does not run like water; it
takes- years for a single thin
layer.
Try For Pearl
By duplicating the action
of the mari- worm, man con
ceived the idea of placing
some hard, small object Into
the soft b-Jy of a mollusk
which would irritate the poor
thing, and maybe a pearl
could be produced, provided,
of course, that the oyster
could be located several years
hence.
The operation was simple:
Just catch the oyster, make a
tiny incision in the watery
body and insert a grain of
sand or grit. The operation
itself was usr-'iv sur- Mi
but about 40 per cent of the
patients died from shock.
Then the long wait and the
final search.
Too often someone came
along and gathered the oys
ter. And, too, every oyslc . has
a great many enemies. The
chances of Bgain locating an
individual mollusk several
years after the operation was
rallier remote.
The whelk, a much larger
animal than the oyster, was
stronger and was used ex
tensively. Trouble Is, the
whelk is univalve and has the
ability of moving from place
to place. At the end of five
or six years it was hard to
una.
Oyster Choice
But the home-loving oyster
was fixed. It always stayed
in one place, so it got the nod
as a manufacturer of rmr!
The JaDanese nennlr i,
fore the war, t-ied raising
inesc pearls in captured mol
lusks. They, too, came up with
clever idea. They carved
a tiny image from stone or
some other hard substance
and inserted this into the man
tle of the oyster. After years
of bodv-chemistrv th nvti.
built up layer after layer of
nacre, covering the tiny image
wnn moiner-ol-pearl. The re
suit was an image of Dearl
During its formation, and
as long as the pearl, either
natural or artificial, is Inside
the oyster bor1", it , a thorn
in the side" ... a cross the
oyster has to bear. Like a
sandspur under a saddle
blanket, it causes some degree
of trouble. -
Little wonder that some
pearls are shaped like a tear
drop. The poor old oyster that
produced it probably did a lot
of crying.
