Ships Deafened
With Barnacles
On Their Ears
AP NeWsfeatures

NEW YORK Barnacles can
plug the ears of underwater sound
equipment used in. navigation and
for submarine detection.
Marine organisms like mollusks,
annelids and algae which collect
on the hull, creating drag and
slowing a ships speed, also re-
duce the efficiency of underwater
sound equipment. They can make
it completely imperative in three
to five months of heavy fouling,
James w. Fitzgerald, Mary E. Davis,
and Burton G. Hurdle of the Naval
Research Laboratory, Washington,
report in the Journal" of the
Acoustical Society of America.
Such sound equipment ends
out sound pulses and catches the
echo to measure water depth or de-
tect submerged objects. Part of the
equipment is outside the hull, When
barnacles and other shell animals
grow on it, they form a thick mat
and the shells scatter and reflect
vi dDoOl " tHS oOuuO waves.
Anti-fouling paints, which slow.
ly give off metallic salts to poison
the organisms, are often used or
ships, but on sound equipment these
paints must be able to conduc
sound.
An immigrant barnacle has added
it's weight to the hip fouling pro
blem along the British coast, thu
magazine Mature" reports. Thi
barnacle is originally from New
Zealand, but established itself il
Britain after free passage aboar'
some ships. 1t helped foul the bot
tom of the Queen Elizabeth after
long stay in Southampton. Ship
undoubtedly bring other such i'm
migrants, but most do not surviv
in the colder waters.

Polio Vaccine Is Tested
On Rats; Success Is Told

WASHINGTON. - Development
of an infantile paralysis vaccine
said to be capable of producing ga
high degree of immunity" in a GER
tain type of rats was described in
the technical journal Science.
The report, describing the work
of four Stanford university re-
searchers, contained no statement
as to any significance of the studies
with relation to the disease in hui
mans.
The vaccine was prepared with a
strain of infantile paralysis virus
experimentallv developed in the
cotton rat. After vaccination, "a
rats were exposed to doses of active
virus. Only one of the "a vaccinated
rats developed polio-and it recov-
cred. In contrast, among a similar
number of unvaccinated rats used
as Controls" 80 per cent de-
veloped the disease. Three weeks
later, the original "a vaccinated
rats were given another dose of
active virus 10 times stronger than
the original one. Only SO per cent
showed signs of polio. On the other
hand, go per cent of a group of
control rats developed the dis
ease. Hubert S. Lorin, c. E.
.Schwerdt, Nancy Lawrence and
Jane Collier Anderson conducted
the research.

More Acres Opened
To Alaska Settlers
Large Section of the Matanuska
Valley Good for Farming.

WASHINGTON.-Secretary of In
terror Julius P. Krug has announced
that $4,000 acres in Alaska's Mata'
nuska valley-near the ghost town
of Knik-would be opened to home
stealing next spring.
The district land office at Anchor
age will start accepting applications
from war veterans October II. The
general public can apply after next
January Is. Actual settlement will
be permitted six months after appli-
cations are approved.
Krug said most of the land is I'M
improved but suitable for farming.
This is in contrast with 2,750,0 900
acres of public land along the Alaska
highway, upon which settlement
may begin October 2. The newly
opened highway lands are non-agri-
cultural.
VI The new Matanuska homesteads
may not exceed 160 acres. The land
is free. There is a filing fee of SIS for
tracts not larger than 30 acres and
$40 for tracts of 81 acres or more,
plus a commission of S1.50 for each
40 acres.
The proposed homeeteads are in
the Wasilla-G Goose Bay region, in
the northeastern end of Knik Arm,
48 miles from Palmer, headquarters
of the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation
corporation farm cooperative prof.
ect, or IS minutes by plane from
Anchorage. The Alaska railroad
crosses the northern end of the
area.
Krug said the decision to open the
to settlement was based on
land classification reports showing
that the area was suitable for farm
ing and is needed for further devel-
opment of the valley.
The bureau of land management
said the area is sparsely settled,
partially because the original Mata-
luska development in 1885 drew
settlers away from the Wasilla-
Goose Bay region.
