Accident Death Toll
For Holidays iII Is711;
519 Killed in Traffic
By the Associated Press

The Nation counted a toll of
I'll accident deaths during it's
1858 Christmas holiday week end.
The final tabulation today
listed SIG traffic victims, 81 who
died in fires, and Ill victims of
all other types of fatal accidents.
These figures included II deahs
in Virginia due to traffic; 5 due
to fires and 7 miscellaneous.
Maryland figures were 8, 5 and 2.
Lives lost on the Nations

a pre-holiday estimate by the
National Safety Council. The
council had calculated that $40
fatalities would occur during the
78-hour period between 6 am.

This years traffic toll fell
short of the 1850 record of 545
for a three-day Christmas pc
riod. The greatest Christmas
traffic death total ever recorded
was 556 during 1952's four-day
holiday. Nevertheless, it meant
one death every nine minutes
during the holiday this year.
The rate of deaths in traffic
during the Christmas week end
was more than SO per cent
greater than the average daily
toll of 102 for the first II months
of the year.
A non-holiday survey of week.

Big Three Expected
To Agree 10 Delay
In Berlin Farley

A State Department spokes-
man indicated today that the
United States, Britain and
France powers will agree
promptly to postponement until
January 25 of the proposed Big
Four Foreign Ministers Confer
ence in Berlin.
The United States. Great Bri-
tain and France had suggested
the conference convene January
4, but Russia came back last
week with a proposal for the
January IS date.
Henry Suydam, State Depart
ment news division chief, said to-
day the Western answer to the
Moscow note will not be long
delayed because obviously no
extended reply has to be
framed"
He added that eff the January
Is date Is to be firm, obviously
the sooner it is agreed upon, the
better"
A British Foreign Office
spokesman expressed conf
dence the three Western powers,
would accept the Russian counter
suggestion, the Associated Press
reported.
French official sources said
only that the note Russia sent
the three Saturday would have
to be studied carefully.
Adenauer Predicts Acceptance.
But in Bonn yesterday Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer of West
Germany, whose future would be
high among the subjects dis
cussed at any Big Four meeting,
predicted the proposal would be
accepted.
And the Soviets, in a broad
cast yesterday that could be a
propaganda prelude to the con-
ference, blasted away again at
the Western plan for free all
German elections.
Moscow radio. heard in Lon
don, aired an article from the
official publication Izvestia say
ing false talk about free elec-
tions' is needed by the Adenauer
clique and its patrons to screen
their endeavor to get full con-
troll of Germany for their ag-
gresSive aims"
The Western powers want
Germans both In Chancellor
Adenauer's Federal republic and
in the Soviet- dominated East
German state given 0pportu-
nifty to express themselves on
unification Of Germany before
any other steps in that direc-
tion are taken.
Soviet Idea Repeated.
The Izvestia article repeated
the Russian idea of East and
West German parliaments join
ing in q temporary all-G German
government to supervise elec-
tions-a plan which the West
says offers no guarantee of free
dom in the East zone vote and
gives the Communists undue in
fiuence.
France, deeply divided for and
against ratification of the Euro
pean Defense Community treaty
which would create a unified
West European army, faces the
touchy problem of organizing a
new government after January
II, when its new president takes
Office. Any hope that talks with
Russia might reduce interna-
tional tension presumably would
encourage French hesitation on
EDO, which the Soviets strongly
oppose.
Against this background. the
State Department commented
Saturday that it seems some
what curious" that the 6oviets
now say more time IL needed
for appropriate preparation"

Bart j. Box of Harvard Univers-
ity, a new map Of the skies is
being made in the face Of enor-
nous difficulties but with IL new
octaves of radiation instead of
the five octaves represented by
the visible light which can be
gathered by an optical telescope,
such as the 200-inch at Mount
Palomar.
A former Bureau of Standards
physicist, DR.. Grote Reber, who
was one Of the pioneers of radio
astronomy in this country, told
of setting up a new observatory
on the cratered summit of an ex-
tinct Hawaiian volcano. Mount
Haleakala, which towers a mile
above the clouds and is entirely
surrounded by water.
New data on the upper atmos-
phere gathered from radio wave
reflections from meteors were re-
ported by DR.. Peter M. Millman
of the Dominion Observatory,
Ottawa The reflections show, he
said, that between 10000 to
100000 of these particles from
space strike the outer edge of
the earth's atmosphere every
second. They produce long coll
umns Of electrically charged par
ticleS at average heights of so
miles and move with average
speed of about % miles a second.
High Wind Speeds Revealed.
From this speed. DR.. Millman
said. it can be deduced conclu-
sively that all these particles,
some no greater than a 25th of
an inch in diameter. are men,
bers Of the solar system and not
visitors from the far reaches of
the galaxy.
The reflections reveal presence
Of winds in the upper atmos-
phere with speeds as high as 100
miles an hour. They also have
revealed four hitherto unknown
meteor showers which take place
during daylight hours when
they cannot be discerned as
shooting stars.
Measurements Of q 100,000th
of a degree change in tempera-
ture in q 1oOth Of q second were
reported before the association
last night by DR.. A. v. Hill Of
Cambridge University, former
president Of the British Associa-
ton.
Such fine measurements were
necessary to determine the
amount Of heat produced in q
muscle contraction and have
brought new light on muscle
behavior, DR.. Hill said. The heat
increase comes just before mus

proving that this contraction is

Corn Cobs Yield Drug
For Urinary Infections

BOSTON. Dec. % .(P).-A new
drug for treating infections of
the urinary tract has been de-
veloped from a by-product of
corn cobs, the American Asso-
citation for the Advancement of
Science was told yesterday.
DR.. r. c. Bender and two asso-
ciates of Eaton Laboratories,
Inc, Norwich. N. Y, said the
medicine has been named "fura-
dantin."
It's a complex material, syn
theSized or built up" with the
aid of various chemicals. but the
basic material is a substance
called "furfural," a corn cob by
product.
The researchers said a single
tablet, taken by mouth, pro-
vides anti-bacterial action in the
urine for six hours. The drug
has proved to be an effective"
new weapon for treating infec-
tions in the urinary tract, they
added.
At a news conference prior to
addressing the association yes
terday, DR.. A. v. Hill of London,
past president of the British AS
sociation for the Advancement
of Science, said that If chemical
engineers could duplicate an in
genious food-conversion system
possessed by the locust, they
would help solve food problems
in needy areas of the world.
He said locusts can convert
carbohydrates from the grass
they eat directly into fat which
supplies the insects total en-
ergy fuel"
He added that if chemical en-
gineers could cut down trees
and turn the cellulose of the
trees directly into fat" after the
fashion of the locuSts, they'd
have q ready means of lessening

Prof. Asdell offered no views
on how the flesh of a rat might
taste, but he was enthusiastic
about rabbits in that respect.
"The rabbit offers great possi-
bilities for further exploitation,
he said. This species thrives in
a confined space and will live in
a variety of climatic conditions.
1t is a rapid reproducer and the
flesh is mild and easily cooked.
Above all, it is strict vegetar-
ian. It can be fed on many
plants either as hay or as green
feed. 1t is surprising that so
little has been made of the rab-
bit as q major producer of the
worlds animal protein"
CUISINE once More varied.
Back in the lS40s, he related,
some attempts were made to in
troduce the kangaroo as a do
mestic food animal in France,
"but no practical trials have yet
been made"
Animal cuisine was much more
varied in the Middle Ages than
it is today, he said. pointing out
that such things as swan and
"peacock-pea hen" were popular
delicacies. Also deer and pheas-
ant were widely raised in do
mestication or semi -domestica-

Oy the As,ocia,ed Press

BOSTON, Dec. 28.-A possible
lead toward the development Of
a new diagnostic test for cancer
was reported today to the Amer
ican Association for the Advance
ment of Science.
Two University of Texas bio
chemists declared that in expert
ments with mice, they had found
"a new and possibly significant
biochemical distinction between
tumor tissues and most normal
tissues"
And. researchers William Shive
and Edwin M. Lansford, jr., said.
further consideration of this
biochemical distinction from the
standpoint of possible diagnostic
applications may be war
ranted."
Chemical "Thymidine" Studied.
They also declared the finding
might aid toward better under
standing Of the cancer process
itself.
Their researches were con-
cerned with studies Of q chem
ical called "thymidine" which
can be found in both normal and
tumor tissue. The scientists de-
veloped a special technique for
determining the distribution of
this chemical IN tissue. And they
found that the amount present
appeared significantly greater
in several types of mouse tumor
tissue tested than in q number
of normal mouse. rat. and other
animal tissues, with the excep-
ton Of spleen and thymus."
Their studies of "thymidine"
content were made possible by
the use of chemicals called
"antimetabolites" compounds
which prevent or retard certain
chemical changes which occur in
living cells.
Report on Nucleic Acid.
In another report to the meet
ing, DR.. Donale w. Wiser of the
University of Southern Califor-
MIA School Of Medicine, told Of
the development of a new class
of antimetabolites that are "tai-
lor made" in the laboratory to
prevent cells from making nu-
cleic acid-a substance vital to
all body tissues.
Saying that the research has
produced new information about
chemical processes involving nu-
cleic acids, DR.. Wiser declared:
"Antimetabolites may be pri-
marily useful for finding out more
about the chemical processes
going on in living cells. Infor-
nation concerning these reac-
tions is very important for pro-
viding a rational approach for
the cure Of cancer and other
