Wilderness - President wants to establish a national program to preserve public Science of Biology Declared About To Open 'Pandora's Box' By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor New York-flJPIl-In the sci ence of biology "we're about to open a Pandora's box, with PlVBKrm ll1e mosi lear- III! SUllttl UUIl s e q u e n ccs 1 m aginable," said the dis tinguished or ganic chemist, Dr. Morton Leeds, a so b e r - minded man of science DHoi smith not given to getting far from facts. The Pandora's box he had in mind contains the secrets of the cell, of protein, of the chrom osome and of the nucleic acids which carry the formu las and the directions for (lie creation and operation of all living things. Forthcoming discoveries are going to open the box, he said in a lecture to a scientific audience, and this will "lead directly to an understanding of Ihe nature of life itself. Here the possibilities are boundless. Control of the life phenomenon may permit a variety of human and semi human forms to be created ultimately." The molecules of the nu cleic acids are now being un raveled. Along their strands are . "thousands of items" which together add up to life. Biological science is going to find the ,pccific item that re lates to the human heart, he said lo give one example of the box s contents. Effect en Longevity This one event, he continu ed, "could have a very pro found eltcct on longevity. As suming a correct diet, a man specifically designed with two coordinated hearts could live lo Ihe age of 120 or more, and retain the vigor of a man of 50. This concept is not so outlandish. A (ew decades may make it a reality. "Longevity Is not a mysti cal attribute but Is probably a multi-determined compo nent of the living organism. If even one factor In longev ity can be tampered with, so that the basal metabolism is slowed and the life span is doubled, the most profound consequences lie In store for mankind. e worry today about an expanding population lor the earth, but this is nothing compared to the sued popula tion that Will iniwir nn- u- i alter human longevity itself.

Silver - To combat short age of silver for coins admin istration asked authority to replace existing silver back ed $1 bills with gold-backed $1 bills. Congress approved, bill awaiting President's sig nature. knowledge of the causes of longevity." But even without this "urge," there is no stopping science from opening Pan dora's box. "There is a relentless qual ity lo modern scientific re search," he said. "It resembles the almost mechanical for ward push of Ihe army ant in the Jungle, conquering all in its daily march. . "Supported by the instinc tual urge lo know more about the origins of life and by the onslaught of measures to pre vent death, biologic scientists soon will bring us the dav when we shall begin to un derstand the nature of life in its full profundity." When that day comes. "Pan dora's box will lie open at our feet. Then, a completely new chapter In the history of man ana ol all life-forms must be written." (According to Greek my thology Zeus was so enraged when fire was stolen from Heaven, he sent a woman to punish the human race. She was Pandora and she carried a box. When she opened it all Ihe evils and ills afflicting people got loose to plague mankind.) Community College Moratorium Voted Salem - WPti - A bill placing a two-year moratorium o n state aid for new community colleges was approved Tues day In the Senate and sent to the House. The measure does not total ly restrict development of new community colleges, how ever, for any area wishing to cslnblish a college may do so as long as It finances ihe pro gram itself. Sen. Al Flegel (D-Roscburg) said the measure approved by Senators today "remedied some of the inequities and problems created In 1961." The measure also extends from 12 to IS the hours for full time equivalent students, and restricts community col leges to a two-year course of study.

Increased Use For Service from Library Is Noted The increased demand for more library services to stu dents, which has influenced the American Library associa tion to include a special con. ference on the subject within the annual conference of the association in Chicago, claim ed the attention of the Friends of the Library at the May meeting here Monday. Mrs. Nathan Deaver, presi dent of the Jackson county organization, reported an in terview with Dr. Leonard Mayficld, superintendent of the Mcdford public schools, and stated that the Mcdford and Jackson county school ad ministrators are cognizant of the problem. More students, it was point ed out at the local meeting, are using the Public Library of Mcdford and Jackson County as a study hall as well as a source for reading material. The requests of schools for classroom collections h a v t- grown at tremendous strides during the past year, It was noted. The requests of branch libraries received at the cen tral library also reflect this increase in student needs, Omar Bacon, librarian, report ed. During April, he stated, there were 465 requests from the branches, where a year ago these requests were less than 200. Th central library and the branches, Bacon emphasized, are interested in serving this demand. Everyone in the li brary association from the national to the local level is eager to encourage students in this increased study. However (here are many problems un resolved in the area of space and personnel to handle the increased library use, Bacon told the Friends of the Li brary. The organization, following the discussion, voted to pro pose meetings during the sum mer with school representa tives of city and county to work out a solution. Concern for reorganization of the library in the direction of a better understanding of its relationship to city and county was expressed by sev eral persons at the meeting. The group decided to devote the first meeting in the fall to this subject, and Harry Chip man was named chairman of a committee lo arrange the pro gram. Representatives of city and county governments will be invited lo participate. Olher topics considered by the Friends of the Library were Ihe need for more books, need for a more adequate building, and the promotion of memorial books. Decision Due on License Request Portland -OIPIi-A decision on the Simmons Institute's appli cation for a license to operate a vocational school will be made within' 10 days.

One said he accepted and received a deed to his prop erty. The other man said he refused. The operator of Ihe insti tute, William F. Grcssingcr, said money recevied in tui tion payments was forwarded to a charitable organization in Washington known as the Human Relations Research foundation. Gressinger said Ihe founda tion "supplies ranch life for children and adults."

II There is no disputing that squabbling over money is a nf divorce in the U.S. There is no denying that a harmonious financial relationship is an essential of a har monious marriage. This is particularly important in ine li.a million American homes in which both husband and wife work today and in which there are dual paychecks. Yesterday, I outlined four of 10 basic rules I've worked out over the years to help husband-and-wife working teams and all married couples manage their finances properly. Here are the rest. (5) If the wife's Job necessitates the added expense of maid service at home, the wife's paycheck should cover it. This is a rule I came to instinctively, for in most nomes if the wife did not hold an outside job, she could, if she had to. eet alone without any extra help. Thus, this is "her" expense which she should handle. If the expense is to be paid out of the family pool, the payment. Or the wife may withhold a specified part of her earnings for this expense. Whatever the details, it should be understood that this expense is in the wife's department. (6) Extra expenses for entertainment at home should be handled by the wife. Expenses for entertainment outside the home belong strictly in the husband s department. Included in the household bills the wife will pay out of the family pool should be expenses to entertain guests at home. That's in line with American tradition. But when you go out, it's the husband's deal. The psychological aspect here is far more important than the financial. (7) If you're a young couple planning to have children, be sure that part of tha wife's paycheck is budgeted toward that future expense. If your children are grown or you have none, you nat urally have much more freedom in deciding how you'll spend or save. The young husband's paycheck should cover all basic household expenses and part of the young wife's earnings should be earmarked for the must be prepared for the time when you 11 scale down to one paycheck for a while at least. It would be ideal, of course, if the young wife's paycheck could be earmarked entirely for savings and luxuries. A couple without the financial prob lems of children obviously has and saving. (8) At the start of each unavoidable expenses you must meet during the year and put aside a specific amount each month lo meet those bills when they come due. For instance, if you know come due, slarl this June to put the money will be there when sound family financial management lies in "spreading" pay ment of your big bills so that 19) Each of you should deduct from your own paycheck an agreed upon amount which you need account lo no one. Once you have decided on the amount of your personal allowance, don't ask each other questions about it. This may sound superficial, but it's anything but. No financial partnership should be so close that it's suffocating. If you want to do something absurd with your personal al lowance, that's your business. (10) Make a pledge to each othr now that when you get into a squeese-which you will, for nearly everyone does- you'll choose a quiet evening how to escape from it. When squeeie, not "yours." Another superficial point? Oh. no. The wife who in the heat of a money fight says. "We wouldn't have any savings at all unless 'I' Worked." is retort that she wouldn t have any home unless he paid for the rent or mortgage, etc., etc. It's also imperative to avoid discussing your money mess when you're both frantic. If you can't figure a way out, take your problem to the service department of your bank or savings institution, ask for guidance. The working husband-and-wife team is the heart of the social-economic revolution America has been undergoing since the 1940s. We, the wives who hold paying jobs, are defy ing the Iraditional relationships of centuries, creating our own traditions and writing new family finance rules out of our own unprecedented experiences.

Until you have ogled a "Petty girl" by flashlight, you haven't really lived. Morse Attacks Civil Defense Washington - njpn -Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) Tues day called the nation's civil defense program senseless, wasteful and unrealistic. Morse's comments were made in a letter to Assistant Defense Secretary Steuart L. Pittman, who had asked Morse to support continuation of the civil defense program in Oregon. The state legislature and the Portland city council voted against appropriating funds to continue the state program. Morse said the action was evidence of "increasing sus picion in our country that much of the civil defense pro gram is unrealistic, wasteful and tends to create a false sense of security in case of nuclear war. He also said much of the program "hasn't made sense to many people, including my self." He said a storm that struck the Pacific Northwest last October had been met by the "collapse" of the civil defense program. "If it can't meet the emer gency pf a storm, it offers lit tle hope for meeting the emer gency of a nuclear attack," he told Pittman. Applegate Woman Is Arrested on Warrant Nelta Jean Lorsung, 25.

Holmes Agency, What started these memor ies vibrating in my cerebrum was a news conference held here this week by Arnold Gingrich, editor and publisher of Esquire for the past decade. The mag as ine has changed a lot since those days, however. Gingrich has transformed it from the pin-up catalog of my youth into a sort of training man ual for Madison Avenue in lellectualism. He called the news confer ence to discuss an article in the current issue entitled "Sex and the Supreme Court." It deals with the court's de cisions on censorship cases. By taking a liberal attitude toward sex in books, art and drama, the justices opened the floodgates to a flow of four -letter words, Gingrich observed. But, he added, this in turn, with paradoxical effect, is promoting a "puritan revolu tion" in American literature. It is Gingrich's theory that so much emphasis on the clinical details of sex has caused readers to become blase toward, or bored with, play-by-play accounts of bou doir antics. As a result, according to Gingrich, t h e trend now among important new novel ists is to return to the old practice of just setting the stage. He is convinced that ihe "natural censorship of taste" will force other writers lo abandon the SALE! PETUNIAS DOUBLES SI PER DOZEN 3 Day Sale! Wed., Thurs., Fri. Limit 2 Doz.

Already, he said, a Pari publisher who specializes in shocking books has complain ed that such books don't shock any more. "What once was shocking is now taken for granted," Ging. rich said. "And what once seemed demure now seems daring by contrast." It remains to be seen whether Gingrich's theory is sound, but I was intrigued by his comment about demurness becomi.ig daring. 1 think I'll get out my flashlight and read "Girl of the Limberlost."
