BIOLOGICAL ERROR

In 1854, out Of $3.50 eggs laid
by l03 virgin turkey hens, 1913
were shown by Gambling to have
membranes. Only A of these
developed into embryoS. Only
four of these lived more than
81 days. But at the end of four
weeks. one of these four en-
bryos Matched into a live, IA
therless male turkey.
But the phenomenon was not
confirmed the next year. That
year, none of ITO virgin hens
produced an egg that Matched.

ever, more fatherless male tur-
keys Matched. Last year, DR..
Olsen reduced his virgin hens

Beautiful white toms, they
strut about. visit with hens and
have normal offspring, male
and female. All the maiden
born turkeys are male.
The reason: The eggs of
lower animals contain only
male genes until fertilized. DR..
Olsen says the reverse is true
in higher animals, such as
man, and that parthenogenetic
mammals, including man,
would be female.

late turkey parthenogenesis

and Rhode Island Red males.
The unexpected results were

In Reservoir

Reservoir. you had better hurry.
The storage facility on the
Patuxent River is beginning to
look like the Bay Of Fundy
when the tide is out, leaving
fishing boats high and not too
dry on the oozy lake bed.
The Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission. which
controls the reservoir, says
there is a reason.
The time has comet does
every few years-to paint the
gates which control the storage
capacity Of the reservoir.
The gates already have been
painted on the dry side. But
painting under water is far
more difficult than writing un-
der water, and so the water level
must be lowered so the painters
can do a little inside work.
1t takes virtually as long to
let the water go as it does to
impound it. so it will be about
December l before the reservoir
level is low enough to permit
the painters to begin work.
The commission said it tried
to time the task so there would
be as little interference as pos
sible with the fishing season
there, which runs from March
l through November 30.
The Rocky Gorge Reservoir,

He is the behind clear relief rolls of
possible cheaers and to the whole welfare program
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-10-16


from West Virginia is trying to
do.
His power is out Of proper
ton to his seniority in the Sem
ate. But the influence of the
43-year-old Democrat in the
District should. not be underes-
timated for at least two rea-
sons.
First, he heads the subcom-
mittee that recommends how
local and Federal funds should
be spent here. Second, he is
dealing with welfare at a time
when relief cost spirals have
aroused Nationwide concern.
Three Questions
Perhaps the best way to ex-
anime his intent is to try to
answer three questions.
What has he done so far? In
what climate of social opinion
did he act? How does the Sen
ator himself describe his pur-
pose?
From August IS to August %
of this year he acted as chair
man of the Senate hearings on
the District budget. He called
Welfare Director Gerard Shea
to testify four times. No other
District administrator was re-
called. Each time but the last
the Senator ordered Mr.. Shea
to take a new look" for econ
omies.
Each time Mr.. Shea suggest
ed possible cuts in his own
budget.
Senator Byrd won unani-
nous Senate committee sup
port for the Shea suggestions.
They reduced his budget by
$500. 900 by Cd a decreased es-
innate of case loads; (2) an
increased estimate of Federal
aid. and 90 a cutback in pay
ments to families of more than
four children.
Payments Decreased
Only in the last case were
payments to recipients actually
decreased. This aid-to-depend-
ent children category is the
largest and most controversial
of the District program.
Congress adopted the cuts.
Restored by the Senate was a
favorite program of Mr.. Shea's
to help find homes for persons
dislocated by Governmen t
building programs. AS passed,
the welfare budget of S21.3
million was $500, 900 under the
Commissioners request, and
Sill million more than allowed
last year.
But the Byrd Committee also
ordered five investigators Ito
ferret out possible so-called
free leaders" Members ex-
pressed deep concern" over
rising welfare costs.
That, in bare-bones form. is
what Senator Byrd did.
His hearings can be viewed,
however, as the first impact in
