Science of Biology
Declared About To

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.

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

outlandish. A (ew decades
may make it a reality.
"Longevity Is not a mysti

But even without this
"urge," there is no stopping
science from opening Pan

"There is a relentless qual

"Supported by the instinc

When that day comes. "Pan

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

WHAT SHOULD A WORKING WIFE PAY FOR? 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.

By DICK WEST
Washington - Wl - Almost
anyone can dredge up some
thing in common with Abra
ham Lincoln.
By me, it's
eyestrain. A s
a lad, Lincoln
used to punish
his orbs doing
his lessons by

sn adolescent,
I used to tor

quire by flashlight. I was
forced to resort to makeshift
illumination owing to the fact
that Esquire was verbotcn at
our house. I usually kept a
contraband copy hidden under
my mattress.
After I had ostensibly re
tired for the night, I would
haul it out, pull the covers
over my head as a blackout
curtain, switch on a flashlight
and spend a tingling half-hour
perusing the "Petty girls."
Until you have ogled a

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.

The R. A. 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

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
