BY the Associated Press,

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 11.-Sci-
ence opened new chapter In the
mysteries of human reproduction
today, with a test tube experiment
in which a sharp pointed, solid glass
needle usurped the role of father"
The needle pricked an unfertilized
human ovum, the egg which de-
velops into baby. The ovum
thereupon took it's first microscopic
step toward reproduction. 1t cast
of two small gobs called polar
bodies and formed a furrow which
was declared to be the start of cell
division"
Dividing of the ovum into two,
the two into four and SO on is the
way a fertilized germ cell grows.
The experiment, the first in the
history of science on human ma
terial, was reported to the Philadel-
phia Pathological Society last night
by Stanley P. Reimann, M. D., and
Bernard j. Miller of the Lankenau
Hospital Research Institute.
The ovum was obtained from a
woman during surgical operation.
A few thousandths of an inch in
diameter, 1t lived for about 6 hours
under microscope while it played
its little drama in a drop of clear
serum from human blood.
1t died apparently from lack Of
suitable environment.
Mr.. Miller" said DR.. Reimann, "is
now experimenting to find a medium
in which the ovum will live longer
we hope as much as "a hours. We
would like to see what one will do
when given more time"
Six human ova have been avail
able to date. DR.. Reimann told
how they were handled without de-
stroying the life it was desired to
study.
I'm surprised" exclaimed one
pathologist, that it is possible to
get so gay with a human ovum."
The response of the tiny egg" to
the needle is known as partheno-
genesis, word scientists translate
as virgin birth" Two kinds are
known.
One, called natural" is common
in many insects and equally low
orders" of animals. Virgin mothers
reproduce without mating for gen.
Grafton after generation.
The other is artificial" Treating

Paralysis Body to Form

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Seeking to
coordinate its fight against the

Foundation for Infantile Paralysis
announced last night a plan to
organize a permanent Office in each
Of the 3,07l counties in the United
States.
Local Offices would deal directly
with sufferers and would dissemi-
nate knowledge regarding diagnosis
and treatment.
The foundation also announced
that funds raised by the Presidents
birthday party January 30 would be
divided equally between the founda- =
ton and the county raising the
money.
The fight against infantile paraly-
sis was organized several years ago
when President Roosevelt allowed
the use of his birthday to raise
funds. The national foundation
was created last year.
