AIRLINE, 5. PROBE CALIFORNIA- CRASH Inspection Service Chief Is Sent From Here to Di- rect Inquiry. By the Associated Press. BURBANK, Calif., December 30.— ‘The crash of an airliner Sunday night, with loss of 12 lives, resolved into a tragic enigma today in the face of twin investigations by the Federal Bureau of Air Commerce and United Airunes. Maj. R. W. Schroeder, chief of the Airline Inspection Service, was ordered here from Washington to direct the Federal inquiry into the major plane disaster—fourth in the West within a month. He is authorized to conduct & public hearing, if necessary. Body Examined for Belt. County autopsy surgeons made a special examination of A. L. Mark- well's body to determine whether the Los Angeles diamond broker, a crash victim, had a money belt strapped about him. Coroner Frank Nante said Markwell commonly had carried from $30,000 to $40,000 in gems and cash in the belt, but it was not known for certain if he was wearing it on his trip from San Francisco. No trace of such a belt was found in the wreckage strewn for 1,000 yards on Oak Mountain. An inquest will be held early next week. Officials May Be Called. United Air Lines officials may be subpoenaed to produce the log of radio conversations between Pilot Edwin W. Blom and the operations tower at Union Air Terminal here a few min- utes before the crash. Investigators believed the secret of the wreck lay in the events occurring between the time Blom signed off at 7:36 p.m., a minute before his sched- uled landing, and the 8:04 shown on the watches of two passengers. The wrecked plane carried enough fuel, as shown by one undamaged tank holding 100 gallons. FIVE FREED ON BONDS AFTER NUMBERS RAID 8lips, Adding Machine and Money Found in House Entered by Police.

Science Hears “Devil Mal- ady” Is Alarmingly Preva- lent in Deaths Studied. By » Staff Correspondent ot The Star. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., December 30.—Millions in the United States are suffering and probably thousands are dying each year of a lurking disease, which, in most cases, goes undiagnosed. ‘This is the “devil malady” of an- cient Palestine, to which sometimes is attributed the origin of the Jewish ban against eating pork—otherwise known as trichinosis. It usyally has been considered a rare disease in the United States. ‘The determination of its prevalence, reported to the American Association for the Advancement of Science, was made by Dr. Maurice C. Hall and Dr. Benjamin J. Collins of the United States Public Health Service from ex- aminations of hundreds of persons who have died during the past year at nine hospitals. They found that about 13 per cent of all were infected with trichinosis, usually to a mild degree and undiagnosed. It was seldom the direct cause of death, although it may have been a contributing cause in many instances. Trichinosis results from tiny worms, the trichinae, which are found in fresh pork, inclosed in cysts. When | these are swallowed the cysts dissolve and the worms bore into muscles and | may even invade the lungs. If the infestation is severe, the pain is al- most unendurable, which led to the old superstition that the body was harboring devils out of the swine. If | the infestation is mild, there are lighter pains and a serious sapping of energy, but the victim may never com- plain to a physician. Service Death Rate High. Persons dying in Washington, Drs. Hall and Collins said, represent a fair cross section of the mortality of the | entire United States. They found, however, that the trichinosis infection rate was much higher in Army and Navy personnel than in the civilian populdtion. In the Navy—if those who died were a fair sample—it ran as high as 33 per cent for both officers and enlisted men. In the Army it was around 25 per cent. For the civilian | population it was much lower, but seemed to affect both sexes and all | social grades about equally. | The data indicate clearly, they said, | that the United States has the great- | est trichinosis problem in the world. | The disease results from eating un- cooked or only partially cooked pork, usually from pigs that have been fed on garbage. There are still, they | pointed out, large garbage-feeding es- | tablishments along the Eastern sea- | board and the practice is common | among farmers. The high incidence in the Army | and Navy, they explained, is due to| the wandering life of the personnel. In the Navy, especially, food may come from all sorts of sources. If only 1 per cent of those infected with the trichinae die annually. they stressed, the death rate for the United | States would amount to Zeveral thou- | sand. It is probable, they caid, that | less than 10 per cent of the cases ever | | birds already are being starved out of GIFFORD TELLS By a Btaff Correspondent ot The Star. ATLANTIC CITY, December 30.— Federal insect preserves, established every few miles through rural areas of the United States by presidential proclamation, and Federal troops of caterpiliar police to protect bugs now regarded as nuisances were forecast as possibilities of 60 years hence, in an address before the Entomological So- ciety of America here last night by Dr. Edith M. Patch of the University of Maine. Such measures may be necessary, Dr. Patch warned, as the alternative to a land deprived of many of its flowering plants, fruit trees and song birds. For years, she said, insects have been regarded as man’s chief enemies, since they cause enormous crop losses. As a result, their extermination is being conducted on a large scale, with spray- ing of vast areas with virulent poisons from airplanes and the experimental use of electromagnetic waves to kill them by billions. Good and Bad Are Slain. However efficient in destroying pests, she said, these measures do not dis- criminate between good and bad in- sects, with the result that the balance of nature is already seriously upset. Bees perish from the airplane sprays until there are few left to fertilize fruit orchards in some sections. Song- some areas because there are no cater- pillars left on which they can feed. If man persists in destroying insects indiscriminately, instead of striking up some sort of partnership with them, she warned, the result will be one of the greatest economic disasters of all time. She said: “Man may give thanks to-the in- sects for all his fruits, almost all his vegetables and for part of his meat, since much of this comes from land animals not feeding exclusively on wind-pollinated plants, such as the cereals. Most of his clothing is be- stowed by insects. Flax and cotton owe their seeds to insect pollen bearers, and sheep feed on clover, al- falfa and other legumes pollinated by insects. “He is in debt to the insects for such happiness as he derives from the beauty of flowers and from all those birds that depend on insect food for their nestlings. “If we proceed to destroy too many insects we shall have almost no crops at all, except such as are pollinated by wind. Perhaps no other agricultural situation has ever presented a more serious dilemma.” The blessings of tobacco, she said, might easily be lost almost completely through the elimination of a single | little-known insect, the hawk moth, which already has become almost e: tinct in Great Britain. If the hawk | moth is eliminated, there are likely to | go Wwith it not only tobacco but the | sweet-scented honeysuckle, the Ma- donna and Bermuda lilies, garden gen- | tians, several kinds of gardenia and several species of orchid. She pictured a time when there may be only a few zealously guarded specimens of all these plants in botanical gardens, laboriously pollinated by hand by | scientists while the Government tries | to establish hawk moth and bumble bee preserves.

Population Increases Presage Mass Suicide, Scientist Warns |Human Race May Be on Verge of Mass Self-Destruction, He Says—Cites Parallel in Lower Forms of Life. BY THOMAS R. HENRY. B3 a Staft Correspondent o1 The Star. ATLANTIC CITY, December 30.— The human race may be on the verge of a subconsciously motivated mass self-destruction—probably in & world- wide war of unparalleled ruthlessness. Solemn warning to this effect was given before the American Association for the Advancement of Science here yesterday afternoon by Dr. Raymond Pearl, professor of biology- at Johns | Hopkins University in Baltimore. A similar phenomenon seems to be under way in mankind, he said, as one that has been observed in test- tube populations of lower animals whose life spans are so short that the behavior of many generations can be watched. The operation of what seems to be a universal law also can be detected among short-lived birds and mammals. It is difficult for man to note the operation of this law in his own spe- cies because he himself is inside the test-tube—in this case, the surface of the planet—and no observer can watch more than one generation. Theory of Dr. Pearl. The law postulated by Dr. Pearl on the basis of these studies is that under certain conditions there occurs a “reproductive explosion” of a species whereby & population is increased many-fold in a few generations, thus upsetting the balance of nature and creating a sensation of mass discom- fort which can be relieved only by restoration of the natural balance again, A social compulsion is set up which drives the individual unwittingly and blindly to death. Microbe, mosquito or mammal alike seems helpless to save itself in the grip of the mass death-drive. The frequency of such PoR | an explosion depends on the normal life-span of the particular species. Man is no exception to a universal GF | law, Dr. Pearl believes, but the indi- vidual life span is relatively so long and the existence of the species on earth so brief that there has been only one manifestation of the phe- nomenon. Intensive study of statisties of hu- man population since the beginnings of history, Dr. Pearl said, shows that Just such an explosion, almost world- wide in its scope, took place 300 years ago and still is in progress, but with every indication that the reverse ac- tion is about to sei in. Different forms of life choose different ways of mass suicide and the most obvious way that has occurred to the human race is to walk en masse into & hail of bullets and poison gas. Sensations of Discomfort. “That there are assoclated with this present density,” said Dr. Pearl, “stimuli producing sensations of dis- comfort seems scarcely open to argu- ment. Can it be honestly denied that, the be- s havior today? And, behavioristically viewed unrest is surely the cardinal symptom of discomfort. “Different species react in different the emotional field. Does any one find ing off in the not too distant future to a war, or to doubt that once well started that war will entangle in its meshes the major portion of mankind before it is finished? Or, finally, to doubt that the next world war will achieve a destructiveness hitherto un- | dreamed of in the wildest flight of im- nations one thing they had not grasped before—how to make war really destructive. Every war office in every land has been developing that theme contrapuntally ever since. “The thought is a gloomy and hor- next few months techniques of living happily and contentedly at high popu- lation densities in a physically limited universe. But plainly he hasn't yet and the failure has not been from ack of trying.” Compared to Lemmings. Dr. Pear]l compared the human race to lemmings. These are small, rat-like animals of the Far North. For some mysterious reason—sometimes associ~ ated with cycles of solar radiation— they increase enormously in numbers every few years after remaining sta- tionary for a time. There is not enough for them to eat in their native tundra and mountains. ‘They assemble in hordes of millions and migrate toward the sea. The marching hordes constitute one of the most colorful phenomena of natural history. Nothing can stop them. Vegetation is stripped bare in their path. Enormous numbers are eaten by carnivorous birds which gather along the line of march, but the main body keeps on. The lemmings come to the sea. The mysterious marching urge sends them straight into the waves. The millions never hesitate an instant in thus plunging ‘to their own self-destruc- tion. It is nature’s mysterious way of correcting an overloading with one kind of animal. Action of Human Race. ‘To man the behavior of the lem- mings seems the limit of “dumbness.” Yet, Dr. Pearl stressed, the human race seems to be doing essentfally the same thing—just as blindly and un- consciously and driven by the same sort of mysterious impulse. No in- dividual lemming realizes that it is going to its own destruction and neither does any individual man. To , observing the be- human race, there would be little difference, funda- entally, between its behavior at pres- ent—and that of the littls rodents, ways to similar stimuli, especially in | it difficult to conceive of men march- | | agination? The experience of 1914 to| 1918 taught the military men of all| rid one. Perhaps it is essentially false. | Perhaps ‘mankind will evolve in the | —Copyright, A. P. Wirephotos. considering the difference in size and life span of a generation. The lemming population remains relatively sparse and balanced to its food supply for years, when the great spurt in numbers starts suddenly. with man. In the middle of the sev- enteenth century the population of | the entire world was about 445,000,000, or a little over eight persons to a square mile. The human race had been in existence for approximately half a million years. Suddenly, about the time the Pil- grims were landing on Plymouth Rock, the birth rate started to ex- has increased approximately five-fold, to 2,073,000.000, a density of 40 per square mile. This growth has fol- out by Dr. Pearl which shows that it still has about 150 years to go. Un- | til three centuries ago, Dr. Pearl finds, the world population from the beginning of history had been stable at around a half billion. Explosive Increase. The explosive increase is relatively as sensational as anything ever ob- served among the lemmings. It was due primarily, Dr. Pearl believes, to the opening up of new and sparsely populated territories, improvement in communication, and increase in food supply through scientific discoveries. The phenomenon of population spurts followed by subconsciously mo- tivated mass suicide, the Johns Hop- kins professor said, seems to be char- acteristic of animal life in general, with the little Arctic rodents furnish- ing the most striking illustration of it. Dr. Pearl had no suggestion for escaping the dire fate, except that pa- tlent and intensive study of the tele- scoped history of races in the form of very short-lived species might reveal some way to circumvent a natural law which they have not been able to find. An ill-tempered, solitary, voraciously hungry little bug, recently discovered in high ranges of the Northern Rock- ies, may be the living fossil of a race otherwise extinct for 50,000,000 years, which was the evolutionary forerun- ner of many of the insects of today. It has saved itself through the ruth- less millenniums by hiding under rocks frozen to the ground, and re- garding every living thing as its en- emy while its better adapted and so- ciable descendants have gone on to dispute with man himself dominance over the earth. ‘The wierd “ice bug” and its habits were described to entomologists at- tending meetings of the association today by Drs. Harlow B. Mills and J. H. Pepper of the Montana State Col- lege. It looks like & small beetle, but belongs to no known classification of msects. It Canadian in 1913, and at once atfracted the attention of sys- tematic entomologists because of its strange morphology, very primitive compared with living insects, and ap- parently & “missing link” between the crickets and the cockroaches, That 15, it was closely akin to & probable common ancestor of both. The picture presented today was somewhat akin to gruesome futuristic portrayals of the last miserable rem« nants of mankind millions of years hence, lurking fersomely in ice caves of a dying world dominated by flesh- eating monsters. * A life somewhat like that of the ice bug- must be the fate of any animal life surviving on Mars. » so| pand.

Demonstration of two sets of genes which govern the heredity of cancers | in mice—and presumably in man— | was presented by Dr. Maude Slye of the University of Chicago. This finding, she reported, results | {from a project which has been pur- sued continuously since 1906 and in which more than 140,000 mice of | known cancer transmitting strains | have been used. Studying the inci- | dence of various types of malignant | tumors in these animals, she has been | able to work out mathematical formu- las which predict very accurately the | chances that any individual will die of a certain kind of malignancy, | There must be, she found, a unit | character in heredity for each type of cancer—carcinoma, sarcoma and the rare blood disease known as leu- kemia—and also a unit character for | each location of such a malignant growth. For example, in order to de- | velop cancer of the liver, one must in- herit both a carcinoma gene and a gene of liver.susceptibility of carcino- maud, All of these, she found, are ‘“re- | cessive factors.” If they exist in only | one parent, they will not result in cancers in the offspring. This can be | demonstrated by mating different sorts of cancer strains and calculating the | mathematical probabilities according to the laws of genetics. A commonly held theory among gen- eticists has been that there was one hereditary factor for all sorts of can- cer and that its location was deter- mined by some external agent in the body. Dr. Clarence C. Little then present- ed a paper, also based on experi= ments with mice, which tended to show that the widely spread cancer of the breast was very different from all other types of malignant growth, in that it was not transmitted through the genes, but ihrough the tytoplasm of the cells in.the female line. e R R Short-Cut Bridge Bids Received.
