Legendary Bat Research Subject " COLLEGE STATION, Tex (DPI) That furry, creature of legendary power, the bat, is getting a $54,000 bit of attention from researchers at Texas "A and M college. ; A three-year study of bats in caves from Texas to South America is being made to see what their family tree looks like. It is expected to clarify the various species of American free-tailed bats and determine their geographic distribution and seasonal movements. The researchers have been over rugged mountains, across tricky rivers, and into remote Indian regions in southern Mex ico for the past year, and will go to Central and South Ameri ca before the study ends in 1964. They collect the bats with traps at cave- entrances and keep them tagged in research drawers at the college. The Na tional Institutes of Health pro vided the funds for the study.

Knitwear Popular In Fall Fashions It's a case of: Anything fash ion can do, knits can do, if not better, at least first, as knit wear gets a fall boost from fashion's two directions spor tive and sultry. RHaglan sleeves, sportive shifts, layered separates these are all in the knitwear tradition. As for the sultry and sophisti cated side of fashion, knits have always had the wherewithal to flatter and follow a figure. Zooming popularity of knits is attested to by the many knit wear divisions recently inaugu rated, as makers of dresses turn their special attention to this important area of fashion. For fall knits make new fash ion moves in the direction of texture-in-depth providing a new look in knitwear.

YOUNG AMARILLO, Tex. (UPI) -The Department of Interior is storing the non -inflammable gas helium in porus rock against the day that the natu ral supply is used up. Officials estimate the supply in fields in the Texas and Ok lahoma Panhandles and in southwestern Kansas will be used up after 1985. Ninety - five per cent of the nation's helium supply comes from the Texas, Oklahoma and Panhandle areas. Storage will insure the supply after the wells play out. The Interior Department con tracts for helium from private plants, which separate it from the natural gas with which it is mixed. The department will buy 63 biluon cubic feet from the plants during the life of a 22 vear contract. Of this, a total of 40 billion cubic feet will be stored in dolo mite, 3,500 feet underground in an area known as Cliffside field. Two layers of non-porous anhydrite prevent the helium from escaping. Paul Mullins. general manag er of helium operations for the government, said the helium will be stored in us crude torrn and purified when needed. "If we want to get it, we have to get it now," he said. "The reserves are limited to 15-25 years." "The hydrogen bomb makes helium when it explodes," he said. "That is the only way to make it and we do not want to do that." Mullins noted there ' have been no important helium dis coveries in 15 years. Through World War II, helium was used to inflate balloons. Since it has become valuable in arc welding and in testing for leaks in mis siles because it is not explosive. The Cliffside storage project includes a 425 - mile pipeline from the Bushton, Kan., helium plant to near Amarillo. Feeder lines from other plants tie on to it. 'Flying Samaritans' Provide Medical Care By ALBERT W. W1ESE SAN DIEGO, Calif. (UPI) -Nearly two years ago a severe sand storm forced four light airplanes to make forced land ings on a desert plateau in rug ged Baja California, Mexico. As a result medical care now is being brought to the families living there. About 50 San Diego doctors, dentists, nurses and pilots have formed a group they call the Flying Samaritans. They give of their abilities, funds and sup plies in a hands across the' border operation that receives no government grants at any level. Sparkplug of the group is an attractive aviatrix, Ailccn Saun ders, who twice has won the annual Powder Puff Transcon tinental Women's Air race. Miss Saunders was flying in the group of planes when the sand storm struck. The four were forced down and she went to San Diego for help. "In the weeks that folowed I flew many trips to the pla teau with supplies to get the downed planes in the air again," she said. "Every time I flew over the town of El Rosario I noted a small landing strip and we later stopped there. The peo ple treated us great. The following Christmas (in 1961) Miss Saunders and the flying group composed large ly of doctors and dentists decided to fly some Christmas presents to the residents of fc.1 Rosario. Miss Saunders and Dr. Dale Hoyt made the delivery and dis covered the town of several hundred population had no med ical facilities. There was a hos pital, which had been establish ed by the Mxeican government, but no doctor. Now the Samaraitans fly south each week end to serve the people of the town all with official approval of the Mexican government. round Hospital At Colnett, another Baia Cali fornia town of about 2,500 popu lation, the Samaritans found an unused hospital. It had been built in 1950 by Andrew Bradley, 66, a Los Angeles electrician who retired and moved there for his health. There, too, was a hospital but no doctors. Again the Samaritans moved in. "When we first started servic ing the people of the area all without fee many of the resi dents were afraid of doctors," Miss Saunders said. "Many women would ask a witch doctor to deliver a child rather than our doctors." She said that within the past 18 months things have changed and now persons travel up to 200 miles to be on hand on week ends when the doctors ar rive. "We always have 50 to 60 per sons waiting for our planes," Miss Saunders said. The attractive flier, who is catering manager of the U.S. Grant hotel here, said the doc tors schedule surgery for holi days, when they have a longer period to remain at their Mex ican hospitals. "We also are attempting to set up a system to train Mexi can women in such items as post - operative care and infant care," she said. Other doctors throughout the United States have joined in helping the Flying Samaritans by sending them supplies of their drug samples. One sent several hundred dollars worth of equipment. Every person in a household now uses about 50 gallons of water a day.
