males.
This apparently holds true
not only for men and women
but, with q few exceptions.
throughout the animal king
dom. This is not because Of q
more sheltered existence but
apparently is due to some
subtle advantage in longevity
inherent in femininity.
The phenomenon Is being
studied all over the country
under sponsorship Of. the
Center for Aging Research Of
the National Institutes Of
Health. s
The common house fly Is q
good example. An NH re-
port tells Of experiments
under its auspices at New
York University on the day
to-day survival of $500 mem
bers of a long inbred strain Of
these pestiferous insects.
For the scientist concerned
with the general laws gov
erning mortality and the
basic mechanisms of biologi-
cal aging. it is reported by
DR.. Morris Rockstein and DR..
Harry Lieberman. who car
ried out the experiment. the
house fly meets many Of the
criteria of the ideal labora-
tory animal. Research in basic
biochemistfy and physiology
is revealing that. for the
most part. the cellular struc-
ture and chemistry of insects
is essentially like that Of
mammals. Their short life
spans make them especially
appealing for studies which
must extend over many gen.
erations. This class of ami
NAL includes species essen
TALLY domesticated with tenn
perature, food and humidity
requirements the same as
those of man. To this any
housewife will testify.
Difference in Span
The life tables and survi-
val curves which Drs. Rock
stein and Lieberman present
all indicate that the mortality
Of male flies is governed by q
simple, and perhaps a single,
factor throughout most Of
the life span, whereas q COM
plex of factors seem to in
fluence that of the females.
Under the rigidly controlled
conditions of life for the $500
flies studied, and on a diet OF
powered milk, sugar and
water, the mean length of life
for the males was 1888 days.
for the females 28.74 days.
This, of course, is far better
than shown by any hu-
man records. The value re-
mained remarkably consistent
through 10 generations.
Male mortality was unaf-
fected by a deficient diet con-
sisting only of sugar and
water but in the case OF the
female it was greatly affected,
becoming almost identical
with that of the males.
The New York University
investigators offer only very
tentative explanations. The
difference. they say. may lie
in the structure of female
chromosomes. This is re-
versed in some reptiles and
some insects and, in every
case, they say, the males then

appear to have q longer life
span.
Human generations, of
course, are too long for any
comparable studies but it
lately has been observed that
the average life span for
women is a few years greater
than that for men, barring
accidents and taking into ac-
count fully the dangers in
herent in childbirth.
Besides sex, two hereditary
factors play a part in influ-
encing life span, according
to experiments carried out
under NH auspices by DR..
c. K. Chai OF the Roscoe B.
jackson Laboratory, Bar Har-
Dor, Me.
Effect Of Inbreeding
The crossing of genetically
inbred strains of plants or
animals is known to confer
increased biological fitness,
or hybrid vigor." With this
in mind. DR.. Chat sought to
learn what influence hybridi-
zation might have on longev-
ity in populations of inbred
and hybrid mice. He used
two strains, a large and a
small, each of which had
been inbred, brother to sis
ter, for from three to % gen.
erations.
The first generation Of hy-
brids that resulted from
crossing these strains showed
a pronounced increase in
average life span. But the
longest lived animals of all
resulted when these hybrids
were crossed back with the
parent strain of large inbred
mice.
The idea that more than
one factor was influencing
longevity was derived from
indication that the patterns
of survival which governed
the average life span were
different in different groups.

WATCHINGTHE WORLD
Concern for De GouIIe's Trip
By CROSBY S. NOYE.
Foreign core.ponden, Of tn. sta,

PARIS. - That recurring
French nightmare-the hair
raising possibility that
something might happen" to
Gen. Charles de Gaulle-is
the major preoccupation of
the people responsible for
planning his forthcoming trip
to Algeria.
President de Gaulle leaves
Friday for a trip of about
six days which will take him
to some 80 different parts of
the strife-torn territory. He is
expected to make at least
three major public speeches
explaining his plan to Gre
ate an algerian Algeria" al
lied with France. He has spe-
cifically demanded that he
be given every opportunity to
mingle with crowds that turn
out to see him.
Given the conditions In AL
geria today, this prospect is
a frightening one for Gen. de
Gaulle's personal staff and
for the government. His min
lister for Algeria, Louis JOKE,
has formally warned his chief
to play 1t safe. His trip, says
Mr.. JOKE, involves risks" His
arrival could produce dis
turbances and even troubles"
in the territory.
All reports from Algeria
speak Of a steady buildup of
tension among the European
population during the last
few days. There are persist
ent rumors that the Front
for French Algeria" organ
ization, which bitterly op-
poses Gen. de Gaulle'S Alge-
rian program, has passed an
order for q general strike to
coincide with his arrival. In
the cities there is talk Of
massive demonstrations of
protest.
Fanatics Worry
What worries Gen. de
Gaulle's security people, how
ever, is not the organized
demonstrations so much as
individual fanatics. The nor
NAL risks involved in presi-
dental excursions of this
kind are enormously multi
piled in the supercharged at
mosphere Of violence and des-
peration that exists in Algeria
today. "
As an elementary precau-
tion Gen. de Gaulle has been
persuaded to skip the larger
cities. The present itinerary
includes neither Algiers. Oran
nor Constantine where the
European population is con-
centrated and feeling is par
ticularly strong. Unless the
plan is changed, his public
appearances will be confined
