And she has proved it to doctors at Barnard College. Dr. Richard Wculz ot Barnard saici Mrs. Stanley can identify different colors over and over while blindfolded, when the odds against her on pure chance were about 10,000 to one. Mrs. Stanley explains that a "light color feels smoother and thinner while a dark color feels thicker, heavier and rougher." Doctors say other cases such as this are on record and may lead to advances for blind people. (UPI) Coast, Geodetic Charts Available To Public BY JACK WOMSTON United Press International The U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey has just announced pub lication of new editions oi number of nautical charts, bringing to mind that this little publicized branch of the Federal government is one of pleasure boating's greatest aids. Anyone finding himself in strange waters is certain to find great comfort in the Sur vey's charts, which provide depths and directions and warn of dangerous waters. In recent years, the Survey has begun publishing small craft charts which arc a boon to the boatman whose space aboard is limited. The charts fold out in a bellows arrange ment which makes for easy handling but permits the same scale in many instances as used on the larger chnrts. The small craft charts addi- Contest B&quesfs PORTLAND (UPI)-An attor ney said Tuesday the legal heirs of a Portland woman may con test her will which left most of her $41,000 estate to the Oregon I Humane Society and $2,000 to her pet black poodle.

Bv LEROY HANSEN United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) -From the jungles of South Vict Nam to the deserts of Jordan to the bushland of Liberia, a small group of dedicated Americans is working to bring a better life to the underprivileged. For $0 a month, they live un der primitive conditions in re mote villages. They must be willing and eager to help their fellow man regardless of the color of his skin, the God he worships or the amount of money in his pocket. They should be college grad uates and must be above re proach morally, mentally and physically. Sounds like the Peace Corps? Yes, but it's not. It is the In ternational Voluntary Services (IVS), a group organized the year John F. Kennedy became a senator. By the time the Peace Corps came into being, IVS al ready had eight years oi service behind it. IVS was founded as a non profit organization in 1953 by a group of people committed to the idea that American youth could contribute to internation al understanding by helping the less fortunate on a person - to person basis. Although IVS now appears to be a miniature version of the Peace Corps, it would be more exact to describe the Peace Corps as an enlarged copy of the International Voluntary Services. IVS now has nearly 200 vol-, budget in fiscal 1963 was $59 unteers operating overseas, di rected by four men with three secretaries from five small of fices in a converted residential dwelling in downtown Washing ton. Its annual budget is rough ly $1 million. The 6,500 Peace Corps volun teers overseas have their ex panding headquarters on three floors of a large Washington of fice building. The Peace Corps New License Plates To Appear on Jan. 1 SALEM (UPI) Three letter, three number license plates, with a larger "Oregon," but without the phrase "Pacific Wonderland," will begin appear ing on Oregon autos Jan. 1. But not everyone will have new style plates until 1968, be cause of a planned slow changeover to the new style. Color of the new plates will be gold letters on a blue back ground, (he same as at present. The new plates will be similar in appearance to the present three letter, three number plates now in use in California and Washington. The department will not issue special letter combinations on request to Ihe general public. The new license series will start with AAA 001. A few three let ter combinations will not be used for obvious reasons. million and' Congress has just authorized $102 million for fis cal 1964. IVS operates primarily in na tions in which the Peace Corps does not have volunteers, although in a few instances it cooperates with the Corps. It currently has 70 volunteers in South Viet Nam, 25 in Cam bodia, 52 in Laos, 10 in Algeria, 30 in Liberia and a total of seven in Jordan, Syria and Leb anon working at Arab refugee centers. In the past it also has had short term projects in Ghana, Egypt, Iraq and Nepal. Rural Recruits Because IVS concentrates on agricultural projects, the great er share of its recruits come from rural areas. Because the oganization is supported by various churches, volunteers usually have strong religious backgrounds. Their average age range is 25 to 35. Men outnum ber women five to one. They volunteer for two years of service. It costs IVS about $5,000 per person per year, including trans portation, living costs, the $80 monthly pay and all adminis trative costs for the entire or ganization. Most projects are financed un der contract with the U. S. Government's Agency for Inter national Development (AID). IVS volunteers supplement at the village level the technical assistance given by AID at the national level. They attempt to teacb the vil lagers everything from how to build roads to how to get chick ens to lay more eggs. Despite the strong church overtones of IVS, officials em phasize the volunteers are not missionaries. "We want people with church backgrounds and religious mo tivations but not people interest ed primarily in going out to spread the word of God," For don Brockmueller, IVS program director, told UPI. There is no missionary work although individual volunteers may have 'the "missionary spirit," he said. If a worker's discovered proselytizing," Brock mueller said, he would be sent home. No person has yet been returned home for this reason. Brockmueller gave three basic differences between IVS and the Peaec Corps. IVS is not a di rect government agency and therefore has a "certain amount of flexibility." IVS does not give its recruits long peri ods of training in the United States, preferring on - the - job training. IVS will work with any other agency in the field, be it AID, the Asia Foundation, CARE, Peace Corps or mission aries. Volunteers are not jealous over the large amount of pub licity given the Peace Corps, Brockmueller said. "In most cases," he said, "it is to the contrary. There is a certain satisfaction in doing something well without getting publicity. Actually, too much publicity is hard on the pro gram, particularly if it is in the field." Will the Peace Corps even tually force IVS out of business? No, said Brockmueller. "I think we will continue to grow very slowly. Wc might add a team or so a year. But we have our hands full supporting the peo ple we have now." When the Peace Corps was founded, the IVS board of direc tors offered all the help and gui dance it could, Brockmueller said. "But at the same time," he said, "they continued to believe there is a place for IVS in do ing a quality job in a few coun tries and to continue serving as a guide and conscience to other agencies." tionally contain such helpful in formation as locations of repair yards and supply houses in the area Ihey cover. They also in clude illustrations of whistle and fog signals, storm warning signals, rules of the road, and other helpful information. The Coast and Geodetic Sur vey was the first technical bu reau in the Federal govern ment, having been set up by a 1807 law which authorized survey of the coast. j The cost of conducting all the i soundings and other laborious work necessary to compling the charts is borne by the gov ernment. In making those churls available to Ihe boating public, the sale price now as it whs 1MI years aco is onlv as high as necessary to cover paper and printing costs. This usually ranges between $1 and $2, sometimes less, depending on the size of the chart. 2030 W. Main i " "" " " "'" " "" "" "'" " ----- - - JVCTb MR. KRIS KNOWS WOMEN . ?"
