LOS ANGELES, July g.
Space scientists are weighing
the idea of trying to breed a
special type of man or animal
who could breathe water or gas
instead of air.
In the place of lungs he
might have gills like a fish. Or
he might have lungs which
could be filled temporarily with
water and be converted back
to air breathing later.
Even some kind of breathing
organ which would enable him
to stay alive in an atmosphere
of ammonia or methane gas is
an item for consideration.
These far-reaching possibil-
tiles were brought out today by
DR.. Blaine Levendahl, zoologist
from the University of Cali
fornia at Los Angeles. He talked
to a reporter after addressing
the Institute of Aeronautical
Sciences.
To produce a creature like
this scientists would have to
speed up enormously the proc
ess of evolution, DR.. Levendahl
made no specific suggestions as

pins. The pins were on the

The Secret Service has been
using a similar technique to
identify themselves and adj
mittable officials at Washing
ton functions for years. Some
times they wear blue pins,
sometimes red; it changes from
day to day.
The third precinct is in
vestigating the reported ran
sacking of Goldfine's earlier
headquarters at the Sheraton
Carlton Hotel. Apparently Mr..
Goldf1ne'S aides are taking Eo
chances on anybody passing
himself off as a detective in
order to get into things again.
Jack Lotto, Mr.. Goldfine's
energetic press agent, was
asked about the up-to-now Sc
cret badges.
Certain people have certain
identification so they will be
known at the hotel" he said.

The aides of Bernard Gold
fine have borrowed a cloak
and-dagger technique from the
Secret Service to guard the
six rooms in the Statler Hotel
occupied by the beleaguered
gift-giver from Boston and his
encourage.
The technique is based on
the use of a secret identifica-
ton device-in this case pearl
stickpins, presumably imita-
ton.
The stickpins were sent over
to the third precinct station
house for the plainclothesmen
to wear for identification when
ever they are called on to visit
the Goldf1ne headquarters on
the seventh floor of the Statler.
Badge or no badge, idenJif1-
cation or not, the detectives
were told they couldn't get into

to how it should be undertaken,
He expressed the belief, how
ever. that researchers already
have the means to make a start
in that direction.
Evolutionary theory holds
that all life started in the
water; that the forerunners of
all air-breathers had gills. 1t
took many millions of years for
them to develop lungs and move
to dry land. So the production
of a water-breathing man
would be equivalent to turning
the evolutionary timeclock for
ward until it completes a full
circle.
A man with gills and with
the ability to tolerate a full
load of water in all his body
cavities would be protected
against the crushing effects of
being Snot into space. He
could better Withstand the
shock OF hitting the atmosphere
at high speed on his return
to earth, DR.. Levendahl said.
Even without gills. but with
lungs and other spaces that
could be filed with water for
a while, he could 60 through
these critical phases of space
travel easily, the zoologist said.

sentiment Of other owners was
reported heavily against con-

Associate Judge Philip H.
Dorsey.
The courts action will keep
jingling nearly 800 slot ma
chimes, most of them located
in casinos operated by the
Connors brothers interests in
Colonial Beach, Va. The law
had been challenged by opera
tors of six casinos and a gam
bling ship anchored of Free
stone Point, Va.
In Annapolis, a spokesman
for the attorney generals Office
said the Circuit Court decision
will be appealed to the Mary
land Court Of Appeals.
The Circuit Court held that
the General Assembly at its
1858 short session had trans
cended its powers" in passing
the law.
Appeal Planned
The court said despite conten-
tions by the General Assembly
and the attorney general that
the law was Statewide in scope,
it was obvious that its sole
impact" was on the gambling
laws of four Southern Mary
land counties.
Only Anne Arundel. Calvert,
Charles and St. Marys permit
slot machines and gambling.
The law passed by the Legis-
lature prohibited the operation
of slot machines in establish
ments that could not be reached
by foot from the Maryland
shore.
The fight over the casinos
has been going on for several
years. Last summer, however,
Gov. McKeldin threw his sup
port behind the anti-casino
movement after former Vir-
ginia Gov. Stanley voiced OBJ
lection to them.
The court said that while
it is apparent that many Vr-
ginians are not adverse to pa
troniZing the more liberal
Maryland establishments, there
is substantial sentiment in Vir-
Evening star., 1958-07-09

ginia opposing the conduct Of
places of business adjacent to
the Virginia shore which permit
amusements not tolerated on
the Virginia shore"
Although recognizing Vir-
ginia's interest in the matter,
the court said it still would
have to rule the law unconsti-
tutional.
No Justification
However earnest the Vir-
ginia authorities may be in
their desire to prohibit to their
people access to any perniciouS
influence of Maryland slot ma
chimes, and however desirous
the executive and legislative
branches of the Government of
Maryland may be to conform to
the wishes of their neighbors
across the Potomac, there can
be no justification for deviating
from plain constitutional re-
quirements." the court said.
The General Assembly in
its even-year short sessions is
barred by the constitution
from considering matters other
than those concerning the
budget and those of an "acute
emergency" or of general
statewide nature.
The court said a decree may
be issued to prevent law en-
forcement officials from en-
forcing the law. The injunc-
ton originally issued by Judge
Dorsey came May 81, the day
after the primary elections.
Effective date of the law was
June /.
