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. Kennedy: President Ken
nedy is going to be in Cali
fornia this year for ground
breaking ceremonies at San

firms from seven states, sub

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.

Russians Launch
Seventh Cosmos
Moscow -IUPH- The Soviet
Union Saturday successfully
fired into orbit the seventh of
its unmanned "cosmos" space
probing satellites to gather
data on the "radiation haz
ards for long space flights,"
the Tass News Agency an
nounced. 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.
