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.
Welfare Recovery
For May $46,746
Salem- (UPD -Welfare recov
ery collections by the Oregon
Justice Department set a rec
ord of $46,746 in May, Atty.
Gen. Robert Y. Thornton said
Tuesday.
This is the highest one
month total since the welfare
recovery division was estab
lished in 1955.
Of the May total, $45,236
was in child support pay
ments. 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.

Reindeer Meal Tops Alaska Production
Washington - (UPD - There
was more reindeer meat pro
duced in Alaska in 1961 than
beef and pork combined, ac
cording to the Agriculture De
partment's Statistical Report
ing Service.
Reindeer meat, produced on
Nunivat Island off the west
coast of Alaska, totaled 485,-
000 pounds last year. Beef
production in the new state
totaled 309,000 pounds while
pork production was 135,000
pounds.
The total value of farm pro
duction in Alaska last year
was estimated at $9,703,000.
About 25 per cent of this was
used by farm families. Milk
represented 43 per cent of the
value of Alaska's farm pro
duction, potatoes 14 per cent,
and eggs 8 per cent.
