T1oR $500 years medicine men,
IL philosophers, high priests and
scientists have been trying to take
the implicit gamble out of the chal-
lenge: "Bet it's a boy!'
Experts in genetics are still squint-
ing through high-powered micro
scopes seeking fresh clues to the rid
die of how to predetermine the sex
of offspring. Exciting theories are
regularly announced only to be dis
proved later in practice. But now
new discovery indicates that at last
science may have workable answer,
based on the time of conception.
Because of the long history of dis
illusionment, modern scientistsknow
they must present powerful evidence
to overcome public and professional
Evening star., 1950-10-22

skepticism. Notions of how to pro-
duce a male or female child date
back to the Babylonian Talmud
which decreed that an offspring's
sex depended on which parent had
the greater desire. If the husband
was the more passionate. then boy
would result from conception. Poly
nesians believed that the bride could
insure a frstborn male by wearing
mans garment. The French gave
credence to the old wives tale that
boys were conceived before, and
girls after, midnight.
Until recently the so-called sci
entifc" solutions to the boy girl
question have been almost as BIZ
zarre and unreliable as the old super
stitions. Doctors, biologists and
Evening star., 1950-10-22

chemists have attributed powers of
sex determination to the moon, the
elements, the tides, diet, acidity and
mind over matter.
A European specialist, DR.. Low
erhard, decided that the moon was
the dominating factor in sex deter
mination. If conception occurred
during the waxing or increase of the
moon, then the resulting child would
be male; if conceived during the
moons waning phase, the offspring
would be female.
IL II the Weather?
DR. EMIL WITsCHI, of Iowa, ex-
perimenting with frogs, found that
low temperatures could turn male
embryo into a female and high tenn
peratures (82 degrees) would do the
reverse. DR.. William F. Petersen, of
the University of Illinois, studied
birth rates in relation to climatic
changes in Chicago and Detroit,
concluded that more females are
conceived in warm weather and
more males in cold weather"

2Men Offer $500 Bill
For $50 in MARYLAND

A 13-State police lookout was
in effect today for two men who
repeatedly attempted to sell a
$500 bill for $3.50 at a filling sta
ton on the Eastern Shore of
Maryland yesterday.
At first it was thought the men
might be involved in the 81, SOC, 900
Drinks holdup in Boston, but an
FBI spokesman in Baltimore said
that robbery included no $500 bills.
The men were described to Dis
trict police as 6 footers and neatly
dressed. They were said to be
driving a 1949 four door. gray
Chevrolet sedan.
According to State police at
Salisbury, Md, the men drove into
a filling station at Westover to
get water for steaming radiator.
There they asked customer
Randolph Taylor, colored, of
Crisfield, how much money the
station took in at night.
Taylor said about $3.50"
The men then offered him a
$500 bill for it. He said he told
them he didn't have that kind
of money" but offered to get the
chief station attendant. AS he
walked away the men drove off
on Route 13 toward Virginia.
The car later was reported seen
by Chief OF Police Emory Revell
of Princess Anne, Md.
Arlington police also were broad

And with that, the captain said
the cashier tossed the men two
packages Of money-presumably
containing 200 81 bills. But one
contained $40 bills. The three
soldiers disappeared.
Il was up all night looking fol
them" said Capt. Vance.
The Army sent an interstate
police lookout for the men.
Capt. Vance indicated that the
Army expects little trouble re-
covering the money when the men
are located. He said If they dc
not repay it voluntarily, larceny
charges can be placed against
them.

Mr.. De Courcy predicted last
January that a second Russian
atomic explosion would be set off
Saturday night, January 7, at 7
pm. (EST). Thirty-six hours
after he said the blast occurred
there was no supporting evidence
from any other source, the Asso-
ciated Press cabled from London.
Mr.. De Courcy, however, main
tanned the explosion did come off.
1t was detected, he said, outside
the Iron Curtain ''by an advance
method of which the Russians are
believed to have no knowledge"
Senator Wiley, second ranking
Republican on the Foreign Re-
lations Committee, commenting on
the cablegram, said "the people
should be made aware of the true
situation" If there has been a
second successful atomic explo-
sion by the Russians.
The obligation of the Federal
Government is defense of the Ma
tion," Senator Wiley continued.
If necessary it should cut out
other activities to concentrate on
national defense. There should be
no hesitancy in getting equipped
to meet any emergency.
There is no excuse for not
telling the people of potential
dangers"

lane University, who claimed he
was released because of his anti

he has accepted position as re-
search fellow in international law
at Georgetown University's Grad
uate School.
He is DR.. John E. Kieffer, whose
contract as visiting professor of
political science at Tulane Uni
versity was not renewed in De-
cember.
At that time he said the uni
versity's failure to renew his con-
tract was the climax to "persecu-
ton incident to my anti-Commu-
mist activities" He said he hao
been subject to persecution by "a
strong leftist. ultra Liberal, ultra
progressive, pinkish group" or
Tulane's campus.
His statement was termed
ridiculous" by DR.. Rufus Harris
president of Tulane. DR.. Harri!
said DR.. Kieffer's contract was not
renewed because he lacked the
qualifications of permanent pro.
feSsor.
A Georgetown University spokes'
man said DR.. Kieffer will not havs
faculty status" The fellowship
grant he will receive will be TO
research work and will expire a
the end of the spring semester

bushels of surplus potatoes.
Chairman Elmer Thomas said
the committee was not approving
or disapproving it but had "re-
fused to go on record as a matter
of principle"
Mr.. Brannan has authority un-
der present law to destroy the
potatoes, but he sought the COM
mittee's advice at a session yes
terday.
Privately, some of the members
looked on it as an attempt to
unload ''hot potato" on them.
They talked it over behind
closed doors today and Senator
Thomas then announced the COM
mittee was not taking any action.
