School News Eagle Point High A new method of semester testing was instituted at Eagle Point last semester. All the major classes in one subject and grade take their semester tests simultaneously during a two-hour period. The testing schedule is ar ranged so that students will not be overloaded with tests, as they seldom have more than one major test a day. A second reason for this schedule is that it is thought beneficial to have college bound students become ac quainted with large group testing over a two-hour peri od.

DENNY DAVIS Uniitd Prost International Belem, Brazil -(UPD- Phony smugglers are driving the old established contraband ped dlers out of business in this Amazon river port, a center of shady trading for decades. A dead-earnest crackdown by Brazilian authorities, launched by former President Janio Quardros in 1961, start ed the decline of smuggling. As a result a new industry is thriving here: An increasing number of Brazilians make their own "Scots whisky" and "French perfume" and sell it as "genuine" smuggled goods. "They get old whisky bot tles from bars and make the booze at home, right on the edges of Belem," a legitimate businessman told UPI. "But the perfume is made and pack aged in Rio, then brought 1,600 miles to Belem and sold to unsuspecting tourists and small-scale free-lance contra band dealers." The blue and white per fume boxes, factory-sealed in cellophane, look genuine enough. Real smugglers still meet and dicker with "distributors" on the mosaic stone sidewalk in front of an airline ticket office on Belem's main street. They still close deals with emissaries from the Guineas in the bar of the city's leading hotel. But their usually in scrutable faces are sagging with gloom. Even if they succeed in un loading a boat at some .un mapped beach on the Amazon river, their contraband is li able to be seized before it reaches the Rio and Sao Paulo markets. A joint army-navv- air force commission often searches baggage of passen gers taking domestic flights out of Belem. Passengers may face another baggage search on arrival in Rio or Sao Paulo. Sea shipments face similar controls. The final death blow has been dealt by the counterfeit ers. They have undercut the prices of the smugglers and glutted the market with pho ny whisky and perfume. Legitimate Brazilian indus try also cut into the smug gler's market. American and European cars, made in Sao Paulo have become relatively cneaper as the value of Bra zilian currency has declined. Brazilian manufacturers can now sell for less than it costs to smuggle In a foreign car. The same is true of whisky made in Brazil under license from British and American distillers. A British-controlled firm in Bahia state is making filter-tip cigarettes that look, smell and taste almost like certain famous American brands. Smuggling Is Old No one has ever pinned a rap on Columbus, but smug gling in Latin America is al most that old. It reached its heyday when the British tried to stamp out slave trading in the 19th century. Clever Bra zilian captains built false bot toms in their holds, put slaves underneath and a thin layer of wheat above. The phrase, Something for the British to see," has become a common term in Brazil to describe anything set up merely to fool inspectors such as a set of books kept especially to show tax collectors, or the cigars in the display windows of a bookie joint. Wildlife Lab Asked By Senator Morse Washington - (UPD - Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) urged Wednesday that funds be ap propriated for a range and wildlife habitat laboratory at La Grande, Ore. The request was made in prepared testimony submit ted to the Senate Appropria tions committee while Morse was in Costa Rica. Research which could be carried out at the laboratory would be "of importance to the whole Pacific Northwest," Morse said in the statement. He said the LaGrande lab oratory had been program med for some time and that four acres of land had been set aside for leasing to the government for $1 a year.

' Delegates Conclude Merger Discussions Oberlin, Ohio (UPD Dele gates of six Protestant denom inations end their discussions today on a proposal to merge their 21 million members into one church. Major obstacles still loomed large against a possible union. Primary among the hurdles was a way to unify the six forms of worship practiced by the Episcopalians, United Presbyterians, Methodists, Dis ciples of Christ, United Church of Christ and the Evangelical United Brethren. The Rev. William Jackson Jarman, chairman of the con' sultation study committee on worship, said that until a way can be found to a unified wor ship service "there will be no Christian Unity.'; "Unity in worship is the ul timate achievement of church unity," Dr. Jarman said. He is president of the council of Christian unity of the Disci ples of Christ. The Rev. Dr. Massey H. Shepherd, professor oi liturgy at the Divinity School of the Pacific at Berkeley, Calif., said the chief obstacle is the reluctance of the laity to give up familiar forms of worship. Moon Being Studied For Landing Place Washlngton-OJPD-A scientist told a House space subcom mitte Wednesday that a study is being made to find the best place to land a manned rocket ship on the moon. John A. Hornbeck, presi dent of Bellcomm, Inc., a subsidiary of the American Telephone & Telegraph Co., said a preliminary study indi cated "a good site for early exploration might be on a lunar sea, 10 miles from a continent, and 10 miles from a post-marial crater."

J New Saturn Launch Slated Next Week New York -(UPD- Dr. Wern- her von Braun, developer of the United States Redstone missile, announced Wednes day that the fourth giant Saturn I missile will be hurled into space next week at Cape Canaveral.
