Girls Mouse Studies
Add Valuable Data
To Epilepsy Research

The proof that scientific pio-
neerS still have endless worlds
to conquer may be found in a
biology classroom at the Be-
thesda Chevy Chase High School.
Another popular conception is
undermined in the classroom
that women are afraid of mice.
A 17-year-old girl, a senior at
the high school. has begun a re-
search project that may lead to
valuable and original data in the
fight against epilepsy. And she
is doing it with mice. 800 of
them.
She is BetSey w. Johnson Of
Chevy Chase, winning compet-
itor in the schools current SCI
ence fair.
Praised by Judge.
DR.. Karl Frank, a neuro-phsy-
biologist at the National Insti-
tuteS of Health and one of the
judges who examined her prof.
ect and more than 80 others in
the same health category. said
the girls "InSulin and Epilepsy"
exhibit is IAN outstanding ex-
ample of scientific enterprise
among high school students"
With extensive and compli-
Gated tests on her 800 mice, Miss
johnson is blazing a trail to de-
termine the correlation, if any,
between inSulin secretion and
epilepsy.
Much of the work to date has
been in building up the popula-
ton of her mouse colony, housed
in the basement of her home.
She has besides, three rabbits.
a guinea pig, dog and three
tanks of tropical fish. BY the
end of the year. there should be
1000 mice.
Realistically" she admits. II
don't have sufficient numbers of
mice to point to a definite con-
cluSion."
Hard Thesis to Test.
The young scientist also sus-
poets that insulin level has
something to do with schizoph-
renia. A difficult thesis to test.
After all" she said, chow can
you tell if a mouse has a split
personality?"

Meetings Take Place Between Nehru and Chou En-Lai
 And Eisenhower and Churchill

WASHINGTON, R - Prime Minister Churchill met w ith President Eisenhower today to see whether they can wipe out in intimate talks any "misunder- standing" as Churchill put it, between the two major powers of the anti-Communist world.
 Portentous decisions, particu- larly on the Far East, hang in the balance on the weekend confer ences between the President and his White House guest.
 Churchill appeared to be in ibuoyant spirits on his arrival by plane and seemingly sought to de preciate the rift between Ameri- can and British policies. He spoke of the difficulties as family mat ters" and suggested that what ever troubles the United States and Britain may have, those in the Communist world are "even greater"
 On the American side, there was an absence of any public ex- pression of confidence and hope about the talks as such, more often than not, as contained in welcoming statements on such oc- casions.
 Diplomats here, in fact, hold a great doubt that anything to i'm prove the situation actually can come out of the talks.
 Eisenhower greeted Churchill with warm handshake at the White House steps. The British leader had been escorted there by Vice President Nixon and Secre- tary of State Dulles who met him and his party at the airport.

Bloody Fighting g g Rages SSAll Fronts'' In Guatemala

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras, R The Guatemala rebel command said last night it's forces were massed for a full-scale attack on Chiquimula and that bloody" fighting already ragged there. But government military leaders, boosting advances on ''all fronts, D vowed to bring the invasion to a speedy end.
 A communique from the inva- sion headquarters of Guatemalan exile leader Col. Carlos Castillo Armas said a major battle was shaping up at Chiquimula, less than 70 miles northeast of the Guatemalan capital.
 The announcement said that as the rebels pressed in to attack, the government hastily reinforced the Chiquimula garrison with artil- lery, mortars and machine guns. The communique said the garri son commander had deserted to the rebels.
 Castillo Armas claimed his rebel forces now hold 16 Guatemalan towns, seized since the invaders moved in from the Honduras bor- der last Friday in a bid to un- seat President Jacobo Arbenz Guzman's Communist supported regime.
 On the diplomatic front, the strained relations between Guate- mala and neighboring Honduras appeared near the breaking point

28 Billion Dollar Bill To Finance Armed Services Sent To Pres. Eisenhower

WASHINGTON, R - Senate passage today sent to President Eisenhower a $28,80O, 125, ,486 com promise money bill to finance the armed services in the new fiscal year starting July 1.
 The legislation, by far the larg- est of all the appropriations mea- sures, is the fifth of the II reg ular money bills on which Con- gress has completed action this session.
 The bill carries about II bill lion for the Air Force, 10 billion for the Navy and 713 billion for the Army which was required to absorb almost all of the 513 bil- lion cut under last years allot- ments. The total in the measure is about one billion less than the President asked for next years defense budget.
 In general the new bill carries out the administrations ''new 1ook". military policy, of emphasis upon air power and new weapons with a cutback in other forces for an expected Hong pulp against Communist forces led by Russia.

Senate Declares SOviets Must Keep Out of The West

WASHINGTON, R-The Sen ate Foreign Relations Committee, looking straight at Guatemala, to- day approved unanimously a reso- 1ution declaring the international Communist movement must be kept out of this hemisphere.
 Although the resolution carries no legal force, it's adoption by the Senate and House would make it an expression of the view of Congress and strengthen the ad- ministration's hand in whatever moves it makes to combat Com muniSn in Latin America.
 As approved by the committee, the resolution is a revised version of one introduced by Sen. Lyn- don Johnson of Texas, the Demo- cratic leader.
 The committee substituted the international Communist move ment'' for references Johnson made to the Soviet Union, and re- phrased Johnson's language call ing for "direct and appropriate action" to bar Soviet interfer- ence in this hemisphere.
 The word direct was dropped. Sen. Alexander Smith R-NO act ing chairman, told reporters it was stricken so as to leave no possible implication that the US. government was being asked by Congress to take "direct" military action in Guatemala.
 Smith told newsmen the resolu- ton "serves a Monroe Doctrine notice on the world that we don't want any Communist infiltration in this hemisphere. D

Mass Evacuation Practice Fizzles At BrenertOn

BREMERTON, Wash, lR - A scheduled mass evacuation of this navy yard city fizzled slightly Thursday as fewer than half it's 35,000 residents took part.
 Civil Defense officials, conced- ing that public participation was Every poor," said, however, that it was not a cause for gloom.
 They pointed to the smooth evacuation of the 16,20O persons who did participate, the complete absence of any accidents and the generally orderly flow of traffic from the city into five loop high ways leading away from the city.
 The evacuation started official ly at 5:30 pm. when sirens were sounded to herald the approach of an imaginary enemy with an inn aginary atomic bomb. Unofficial ly, however, hundreds of cars had started wheeling out of the city a half hour or more in advance of the sirens. So many left early, in fact, that observers said traffic was heavier in advance of the test than during it.

NEW DELHI, R - The Con- munist premier of 500 million Chinese and the prime minister of democratic India's $50 mill lion opened a weekend of talks in New Delhi today which could change the history of Asia.
 Prime Minister Nehru greeted Red China's Chou En-Lai with a red carpet reception on his ar rival at the capitals Palam air field. The Indian Communist party politburo ordered "peace" demonstrations throughout Chou's three-day visit, but Red-organ- ized cheering section could arouse only feeble enthusiasm from the airport crowd of about 2,500 per sons.
 The meeting of Asia's two pow erful government chiefs came as climax to months of East West tension in which India, trying to play a neutral note, appeared drawn closer and closer to her powerful Communist neighbor.
 Chou's dramatic flight from the Geneva conference to meet Nehru appeared a direct challenge to draw world attention from the Washington conference this week end of Prime Minister Churchill and President Eisenhower.

Air Force Academy To Be Built Near Colorado Springs

WASHINGTON, R-T The West Point of the air, training school for the young men who will man Americas air armadas of the fu- ture, will be built near Colorado Springs, Colo.
 Secretary of the Air Force Tal- bolt announced his selection of that site late yesterday, ending years of bidding by rival sites which originally numbered in the hundreds but had been narrowed down to three by a special selec- ton board.
 Some 15,0OO acres of rolling country which curves up to the wooded foothills of the Rocky Mountain chain dominated by 14,109-foot Pikes Peak will be the locale of the Air Force academy, on which Congress has authorized the expenditure of 136 million dollars. The eventual cost may be much higher.
 The academy is not expected to be ready for use before mid-1957. A temporary home will be es- tablished at Denver. Talbott's an- nouncement did not say precisely where, but presumably it will be at Lowry Field, a big Air Force installation.

France and China Prepare Negotiate Ear East Munich''

WASHINGTON, R - Senator KnoWland R CaliG said today French Premier Mendes-France and Premier Chou En Lai of Communist China "are prepared to negotiate a Far Eastern Nun ich."
 China at the very least will de- mand "all of the Tonkin delta" in Viet Nam, KnoWland said, adding:
 "This is going to be a tremendous victory for Commun- ism in Asia.
 "The psychological and military advantages from any such settle ment will make it almost certain that the balance of Viet Nam will fall like ripe plum"
 Knowland said the Western allies might get Zip service" pro- miSes from the Communists that Laos and Cambodia, the two other associated states of Indochina, will remain independent. But any settlement" he said, will leave these two nations "disarmed and helpless" :"

Nationalist China Seizes Red Tanker Off FOrrnOsa

TAIPEI, Formosa, R-Nation- alist China announced Friday night that one of it's warships seized the Russian tanker Tuapse Wednesday off Formosa and in dicated the vessel and it's cargo might be confiscated.
 Word that the Tuapse was in Nationalist hands came hours after the Soviet Union, in a stiff note made public in Moscow earlier in the day, accused the United States of seizing the tank CT.
 The Soviet note said the Tuapse was seized in waters between For mosa and the Philippines "by a warship of the destroyer type which threatened to open fire"
 The note threatened "appropri- ate measures for safeguarding the security of Soviet merchant ships sailing in that area"
 In Washington, State Depart ment officials were drafting a prompt rejection of the Soviet protest.
 The US. note was expected to go out today in a move to take the edge off whatever propaganda value the Russians sought to gain from their accusation that the US. navy had seized the tanker.
 In announcing that the tanker was in custody the Nationalists said tersely that the matter was "being disposed off, indicating the Tuapse might be confiscated, as were two ships to which Po- land claims title.
 The Nationalists said the tanker was carrying oil to the "Commun- ist bandit" port of Shanghai on the Red-held mainland in viola ton of a JUN. embargo on such shipments.
 The Nationalist navy which harnesses the Red coast operates destroyers and patrol craft loan ed by the United States.
