(UPI) Insect World Seen By Biologist If Nuclear War Occurs New York - (UPD - A Johns Hopkins university biologist says there is a possibility of Insects taking over the world In the wake o a nuclear war. In a paper read at a scien tists' conference on survival here, Dr. H. Bentley Glass, s member of the advisory com mission on biology and medi cine of the Atomic Energy commission, said insects could multiply "catastrophically" if a nuclear holocaust caused the death of birds. Glass said the United States .would be reduced to a tenth rate power, incapable of in dustrial rehabilitation, in the . event of a nuclear war.- "Nothing could save It, even if shelters effective against blast, heat and radi ation have been provided for the entire human population unless shelters also were provided for the animal pop ulation and for plants," Glass caid. "Homo sapiens . . . shares his domain with other living creatures and will never know how dependent he is on his biological environment until he has succeeded in de stroying it." Destruction of Birds Glass said nuclear war would kill all wild and do mestic animals but "an even greater disaster would be the destruction of birds." He said insects can with stand 10 times as much radia tion as man, and they, "not man or other proud species, are really the only fitted for survival in the nuclear age." "The cockroach, a venera ble and hardy species, will take over the habitations of the foolish humans," Glass said. Sir Robert Watson - Watt, Inventor of radar, told the conference it is the essence of a scientist's integrity to resist the release of forces be yond his control. The renowned Scottish sci entist declared it would be "a breach of our implicit Hip pocratic oath in physical sci ence" to launch a heavy hand ed attack on the Van Allen Belt by methods the conse quence of which cannot be forecast and possibly may not be reversible. The trespass of metallic needles in the iono sphere is a breach of a sci entist's ethical responsibility, Watson-Watt said. "It is in matters such as these that this cautious Scot finds himself in severe dis cord with, and indeed in sharp hostility to, the brash Ameri can - or should I say the brash Pentagonist?" Watson Watt said. Only Half-Educated Watson-Watt said scientists and technologists have been only "half educated" . . . knowing about the humani ties but emerging pathetical ly ignorant of humanity. "For the scientist . . . the proper study of man is man," he said. "For all of us there Is a recurrent question: Are we studying the stars above to shield our conscience from the stars below?" Watson-Watt said prepara tions for killing were never so diligent and intensified. On the other hand, he said, prep arations for living more abun dantly have never been so ill proportioned tu the manifest ly attainable. Dr. Leo Szilard, Hungarian- born physicist and pioneer in nuclear fission, told the con ference he was "in rebellion against what history has in store for us." In a brief statement prefac ing Sir Watson-Watt's speech, Szilard urged the establish ment of a lobby and council in the United Stated to abol ish war. He envisioned the lobby working the election of its members to Congress. Question Raised The question of whether there are any alternatives to fear for survival was raised by Dr. F. Kenneth Berrier, a psychology professor at Rut gers university. "A study we are making on the construction of fallout shelters has indicated that people are building them for reduction of anxiety," Dr. Berrier said. "Others may en gage in peace marches. "We have three military academies. Where is there an academy to promote peace?" Berrier asked. He said he sees as the only answer to arms race anxieties the establish ment of some concrete pro gram or organization to pro mote peace. Driver Program Said Best in West Salem - (UPD - The Oregon driver licensing program is the best in the West, according to a national evaluation for 1961 by the National Safety Council. The State Motor Vehicles Department said Oregon's pro gram scored 97 per cent, as did programs of Illinois and Minnesota. Thus, Oregon scored with those two states for the second highest total nationally. North Carolina and Mary land scored 100 per cent. California scored 94 per cent, Washington 87, Idaho 81, and Nevada 44.

Normal Leg Use Made Possible By Hydraulic Device Glendale Calif. - (UPD - Don Colwell, a chunky, good na tured fellow of 40, lost his right leg 19 years ago during a bombing raid on Tunisia. Today he can kick a football and play baseball. Credit for Colwell's ability to lead a normal life must go to a miniature hydraulic breaking-control system built into modern artificial legs. After two operations in Af rica, Colwell returned home and began a 15-year-battle with unsatisfactory, clumsy prosthetics (artificial limbs). But since 1958 when he was fitted for his first hydra-cadence leg, a whole new life has opened up for him. Not only can he play foot ball and baseball, he can also run and dances normally and helps other amputees as a prosthetic training instructor at the UCLA Medical center in nearby West Los Angeles. Normal Use The new type leg weighs no more than a normal limb and can be worn by a single or bilateral above-the-knee ampi:tee. It is operated by a downward pressure of the slump of the missing leg and body. This pressure activates three tiny hydraulic cylinders which cause the knee to bend, the toe to be picked up nor mally and the leg to swing backward and forward in nor mal stride, its speed control led by the wearer. , The leg's basic hydraulic action was the brainchild 25 years ago of John Stewart of New Zealand. Its leakproof hydraulic cylinder seal overshadowed the prosthetic possibilities and the Vickers Corp. of Detroit, Mich., bought the patent rights and adapted it for braking systems on farm machinery, airplanes and automobiles. U. S. Manufacturing Co. of Glendale bought the rights in 1958 and adapted the device for amputee use. Aided by $10 million in federal grants, the firm made additional im provements until, today, the hydra-cadence leg is virtual ly undetectable in use. Made of laminated birch or willow wood, the legs are be ing sold to the U. S. and Can adian Veterans administra tions. More than 2.000 of them nave been exported of for- e i g n countries, including Greece, Peru and Philippines.

The other $1,509 was in welfare fraud collections. The biggest chunk was col lected in Multnomah, Clack amas and Columbia counties, for a three county total of $29,128. Other collections: Washington county $1,843; Marion $7,573; Linn $3,158; Yamhill $1,623; Tillamook $655; Polk $315; Lincoln $570; and Benton county $370. 2 Is Nuclear Blast Set Off in Pacific Washington-(UPD-The United States set off the 21st an nounced nuclear explosion of the current Pacific testing se ries Tuesday, dropping a "low yield" device from an air plane near Christmas Island.
