Floating Depth Charge In English Channel Eastbourne, England - (UPfl -All shipping in the English channel was warned Wednes day night to watch out for a floating depth charge.

YOUR MONEY'S WORTH MORI AT WOOLWORTH'S Corner 6th and Caitral diate, in fact it takes time for the right balance to ba at tained, maybe weeks, months, or even years. In the instance of the skunks and the durk eggs, it takes a considerable length of time; a period ex tending over several seasons. It was a private preserve, fenced and patrolled. The owner believed he could main tain, in the entire area, a per fect balance. There seemed there was adequate cover for a wide assortment of animals; sufficient food, and varied en vironments. A small lake, partly surrounded by a marshy area, occupied the al most exact center of the tract. There was a wooded area, sev eral meadows, a couple of small hills and a considerable acreage of pasture land. AH Responded In the cleared areas crops were planted, but never har vested. All grains were allow ed to stand; no grass or weeds were cut. There was cover and food, and no human pre dators were ever allowed in the area. All the birds and animals native to the region respond' ed gloriously, multiplied, and populated the area, to the al most complete satisfaction of the owner who wished to prove that, even in our highly industrialized age, game of all kinds could be plentiful under the proper conditions and in perfect environment. .Things were going nicely until the day the owner listen ed to the man who didn't know what he was talking about. "Too many skunks" warned the man, "the little black and white animals will eat the eggs as fast as your mallard ducks can lay them. Too, the skunks will consume all the other eggs they can find. Any game bird that lays her eggs on the ground will suffer from the skunks' pref erence for fresh eggs." Sometimes even the poor est advice sounds the best, and the eradication of the skunks began. By every means conceivable the man commenced the elimination of what he was told was the worst predator in the area. But something was wrong as the population of wildfowl didn't increase, in fact, over a period of a few seasons it declined until there was an actual shortage of ducks. At first, the skunk eradication program was intensified until there was not a skunk alive in the preserve. But very few baby ducks reached adulthood. Somewhere the balance had become erratic, and almost non existent. i Too Many Turtles T-l 1 II.. 1 men, as uurcijuemiy Hap pens, came the man with understanding and knowl edge. In a very short time he found the answer. The lake was teeming with an over abundance of snapping turtles, they had grown (at, and ex ccedingly numerous, on young ducklings. In fact, there were so many turtles, a swimming baby duck had a poor chance of traveling a hundred feet from its birthplace. The reason for so many snapping turtles was the short age of skunks. Skunks prefer turtle eggs, will ignore all other eggs when turtle eggs are available. Remove the skunks and the snapping tur tles enjoy a population ex plosion, and baby ducks are i easy prey. The balance main ; tained by nature is a little too complex for most of us to : understand. And besides, the ' finger of suspicion often points in the wrong direction. By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor New York - IUPD - A distin guished medical specialist found faults in people today because there are a number of practical ways of prevent ing the birth of defective hu man beings, but none of them it being widely used. Either laws or customs block their application. The most direct way is to prevent defectives from being conceived, said Dr. Allan C. Barnes. But by custom ro mance must have a marital culmination. Couples who are demonstrably incompatable genetically and couples relat ed by blood get married never theless. Once a genetically incom patable could become parents of a defective child, birth con trol would seem to be in order but most often it isn't, he ad ded. 'He was incensed because contraception was conspic uously omitted from the re cent report of the President's panel on mental retardation." Sterilisation Prevented utner practical ways are sterilization and abortion. But laws prevent sterilization of mental defectives. By law a person must give consent to being sterilized and mental defectives are held to be in competent to give such con sent. "The very people who gen etically deserve it most are the ones least able to achieve surgical sterilization," Barnes continued. As for abortion, the laws are such that even when it can RABORN RETIRES Washington -l?ti- Vice Ad miral Wallace F. Raborn, "fa ther of the Polaris missile."

If It is a late pregnancy he is liable to a charge of manslaughter. Until the laws of this country genuinely recognize the right to be well born, we shall continue to waste repro ductive time for the mother and condemn the damaged child to hopeless institutional care," Dr. Barnes said. He is professor and chair man of the department of gynecology and obstetrics at the Johns Hopkins university, gynecologist obstetrician - in chief at the Johns Hopkins hospital, Baltimore and editor of the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Wouldn't Cancel Plans Barnes was addressing an international conference on congenital malformations sponsored by the National Foundation. He relied on his own experiences which go back over several decades. Hundreds of engaged couples have had him test their blood for compatibility. He asked all of them if a negative test re sult would cancel their mar riage plans, without excep tion the answers were "a hor rified no." "The information was de sired so that it could be a basis for worry, not a basis for action," he said. Only once has he been con sulted by a pair of romancers related by blood. They had met at a family picnic which I Barnes said, "is an excellent place to carry out medical genetic studies but a poor place to pick a spouse." Be fore he coula complete his Foreign Students Storm Kennedy on White House Lawn Washington (UP1( A crowd of 2,560 foreign students ran wild on the White House lawn Thursday in an over-enthusiastic rush to get close to President Kennedy. One girl grabbed the handkerchief from the Presi dent's breast pocket and a boy snatched his tie clasp in the melee. "That's two from our bus that got something," the girl proudly announced as others in the crowd surged forward toward the President on his way back to his office from where he greeted them. Ken nedy, looking a little wilted but still smiling, got to his office without physical mis hap, but one police lieutenant suffered hypertension as a re sult of the mob scene in the stifling summer heat. Agent Loil Shoe Several other officers had neckties torn from them and a Secret Service agent even lost a shoe for a time in their efforts to protect the Presi dent -as well as the prized boxwood hedge, the flowers and the blue grass lawn of the garden which adjoined the area. White House policemen, their white shirts soaked with perspiration, had to line up on the porch outside Ken nedy's office to prevent stu dents from pushing through to that forbidden area. Kennedy had greeted the teen-agers jokingly as "not the quietest group that has come to visit us." But he moved them all to silence in a stirring speech during which he urged them, when they returned home, to work for peace, friendship and "a fair chance for all." He said if they, as future testing, the couple publicly announced their engagement.
