MedfordmTribune SECTION B MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY. JULY 30. 1962 PAGES 1 to 12 The Week in California Seach for Family in Humbolt County Ends in Arkansas Home By United Press International An intensive air and land search over Humboldt coun ty's rugged mountains and deep canyons was in mid prog ress last week when word came from Arkansas that the quarry, a family of seven, was living on a ranch 15 miles north of a town called Moun tain Home. The family, Mr. and Mrs. Lonnie A. Hancock and their five teenage chil dren, had been missing since July 10. Authorities were con vinced that their disappear ance boded "foul play," or a "'fatal accident." But Baxter County Sheriff Jack Gregory reported that the Hancocks were alive and well. He said that he learned cf their presence when one of the children, 18 -year -old Dorothy, told him that her father, Lonnie, 44, was hold ing the other family members against their will. The girl said that her fath er, a retired Air Force master sergeant, had been living with four of the children in San Diego county. On July 10, he drove to Humboldt county, where his wife was living with another child, and there forced all of them at gunpoint to drive with him to their former home in the Ozark mountains. As the week closed, two Humboldt county officials were on their way to Arkan sas with a warrant charging Hancock with assault with a deadly weapon. Arkai sas offi cials and the federal govern ment have refused to prose cute - as one official explain ed - because Mrs. Hancock had several opportunities to escape, but failed to do so. Also toward the close of the week the California Pub lic Utilities Commission, by a 4 to 1 vote, ordered an investi gation into the rates and prac tices of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company. The Commission gave no reason for its action, but in a dis senting opinion, Commission er C. Lyn Fox said that the investigation might have been ordered because PT&T ap peared to be earning more than its authorized 6.7S per cent return on investments. The excess was estimated at .0016 per cent, but it would amount to many millions of dollars. The proposed investigation aroused speculation that the Commission might look into California's all -digit dialing controversy. Although the dispute was not mentioned in the Commission order, it could be presented in the hearings because of the gen eral nature of the investiga tion. The hearings were ex pected to be scheduled later this year. P o p u 1 a i ion: California's population, racing to exceed that of New York has in creased 8.8 per cent since the 1960 census. Population ex perts in the state department of finance said that the growth had not been uniform through the state. While eight counties grew at a rate more than twice that of the state as a whole, six mountain counties lost population. As of July 1, the state's estimated popula tion in all counties was 17, 094,000.

Oroville firms from seven states, sub mitted a low bid of $120,863, 333 for construction of Oro ville Dam, a key unit in Cali fornia's vast water develop ment system. Oroville, sched uled for completion in 1968. is to be the highest dam in the United States, and the highest earthfill dam in the world. It will rise 735 feet above the Feather river bottom about three miles northeast of Oro ville and will store 3.5 million acre-feet of water, or enough to cover the State of Connecti cut to a depth of one foot. Niiei: Gov. Edmund G. Brown was among those who issued protests last week after learning the government plan ned to put a capital gains tax on awards granted to Japa nese - Americans under the 1957 Japanese evacuation claims act. Brown called the action "unfair" and said that he would take the matter to the White House. An official of the Japanese - American Citizens League called it a "dirty trick." The protestants all said that they would seek relief from Congress. Adventiiii: More than 10, 000 members of the Seventh Day Advcntists church began the church's 49th Quadrennial World Conference in San Francisco Thursday night. The conclave brought togeth er delegates from more than 100 countries. In pre-conven-tion activity, Arthur L. Bietz of Glendale told about 1,000 other churchmen that "the re- preliminary studies showed. Dr. Heller, a physician in both Seattle and Portland, Ore., said his research into the uses of the drug was not complete, but that prelimi nary tests conducted on Ore gon State penitentiary con vict volunteers here indicated that the compound could be used practically for birth con trol. In Common U He said these pills are quile commonly used by women. But it was not until their use was transferred to men that their dual role was revealed. "We have not completely analyzed the data, but we know it is more successful than any previous methods that have been studied," he said. He said that 39 per cent of couples studied who had virtually no chance of preg nancy without help, were able to have children after using the compound. Discovery of the pehnome non came by chance, Helier said, while he and his asso ciates at the Pacific North west Research Foundation were studying pituitary gland activity and hormone produc tion. The studies are financed largely by the National In- vival of emphasis upon wor ship in modern day Protes tantism is a healthy omen in the restoration of religious vitality."

Heller pointed out that he and his associates are physio logists and chemists concern ed with the science of en drocinology and the effect the studies might have on man kind in general he leaves up to the social scientists. Convicts are used for the tests, he said, because they j are available over a long period of time and can be ! found when they are wanted. ! They get paid in cash, not in time otf of their sentences. Heller said the volunteers 1 are fully protected and there was no danger of their repro ductive ability being impaired by the tests. In fact, he added, some of the convicts who had taken the pills for six to 12 weeks and then laid off found 10 to 20 weeks later that they were three times as potent, and there was Absolutely no damage to their reproductive organs. The foundation's study also involves a compound known as diamines, which also sup presses fertility. The govern ments of India and Pakistan are interested in this study and have Indicated they plan to pattern their research after that of Heller's group. Intolerance To Alcohol This drug, which also is be ing tested on convicts, leaves patients with a complete in tolerance to alcohol. In other words, anyone who takes the drug and then drinks alcohol in any form becomes quite sick. "Even a hall of glass of beer will do the trick," Heller said. Complete testing of the ef fects of diamines requires a country where alcohol is ta boo, such as India and Islamic Pakistan. Diamines Inhibit the forma tion of male sperm in its final stage so that it remains im mature or matures abnormal ly and is rejected in the ovum. Heller, who was married last Monday, leaves with his bride today on a honeymoon trip through South America. In Rio de Janeiro he will pre sent a paper on his findings at the 4th international meeting on sterility. En route home they will stop at Quebec to at tend a medical association meeting.

Tass said "Cosmos 7" was circling the earth every 90.1 minutes at an angle of incli nation to the equator of 65 degrees. It made no reference to the possibility of bringing it back to earth. However, the angle was the same at which both Soviet cosmonauts. Yuri Gagarin and Gherman Titov, were sent in to orbit. It was also the same angle at which "Cosmos 4" was orbited and brought back to earth. Of the six previous unman ned "Cosmos" Sputniks launched since the research program began last March 16. only "Cosmos 4" was reported recovered. Tass said the Sput nik, orbited on April 26, was brought back safely three days later after a voyage of about 1.240,000 miles through space. 122 Area Students !
