jury Of five women and seven
men today that the studios in
structor had been negligent in
not taking proper precautions
to see that the white haired
dance student did not fall dur
ing the Lindy hop.
The studios lawyer, Pau! R.
Connolly, urged the jury to
decide the case solely on the
issue of the instructors alleged
negligence. He pointed out the
case involved allegations that
Mrs. Meyer was a victim of
fraud" or pressure tactics"
The lawyer noted that Mrs,
Meyer had taken more than
500 lessons before her accident,
and had practiced all kinds of
steps. including turns, pivots
and steps similar to those in
the Lindy.
Mr.. Connolly noted that Mrs.
Meyer had said she loved to
dance. He asserted that she
had complained instructors
treated her like an old lady,
and she didn't want them to
treat her like an old lady"
He urged the jury to reach
a verdict on the basis of the
evidence and not because they
don't like somebody"
The case was to 60 to the
jury this afternoon.

Board Rejects
Marce|Io Plea

Carlos Marcello, New Orleans
underworld figure, lost another
round today in his 9-year battle
against deportation.
The Board of immigration
Appeals dismissed his appeal
from a deportation order based
on charges that he illegally en-
tered the country after being
deported to Guatemala last
April 4.
The April deportation in
volved Marcello's conviction of
violating laws against traffic
in marijuana.
Two other legal actions are
pending in the Marcello case.
One is his petition before the
Court of Appeals challenging
the order under which he was
deported April 4. Another is a
Federal indictment returned
October 80 in New Orleans,
charging him with conspiracy
and perjury.
A spokesman for the Immi-
grafton Appeals Board said the
board rejected Marcello's plea
that it withhold action on the
second deportation order until
the Court Of Appeals rules on
his petition challenging the
first deportation order.
THE board found that the
second deportation order was
sustained by the evidence" the
spokesman said.
In the conspiracy indict-
ment, Marcello was accused of
plotting to obtain a false
Guatemalan birth certificate. in
1856 and of later perjuring
himself by denying any con-
nection with such a plot.
At the time Of the conSpir-
acy. the Government charged,
preparations were being made
to deport Marcello to Italy.
Marcello was accused of
using the false Guatemalan
birth certificate to convince
the government of Italy that
he was not a native of that
country and that Italy should
therefore refuse to let him
enter under the deportation
order.

Court Evudes
Race Issues,
Judge Ayers

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 20 (AP)
Judge Benjamin Michaelson
convicted nine white and Negro
students yesterday of trespass-
ing in a segregated restaurant,
but said their case will pose
constitutional questions "the
Supreme Court will not be able
to dodge"
The Anne Arundel County
Circuit Court judge said he is
not in a position to rule that
an establishment serving the
general public cannot deny
service to Negroes on racial
grounds. He said he is bound
by a Maryland Court of Appeals
ruling which has held that
privately owned businesses have
a right to discriminate.
But Judge Michaelson con-
tinued:
"The court has let in a wide
latitude of evidence on the con-
stitutional question, perhaps
more than it should have over
State objections the court
feels that the Supreme Court
will not be able to dodge the
issue. 1t evaded it in the
Louisiana case"
He referred to a recent ruling
in which the Supreme Court
held that three Negroes ar
rested for breach of peace while
sitting at a soda fountain were
convicted of insufficient evi-
dence, but avoided the broader
constitutional question of their
right to service.
The nine defendants includ-
ing one from Washington.
Janet Rose, 10, were fined $50
and costs each for violating
Maryland's trespassing statute
by not leaving a restaurant
when ordered to do so by the
owner.

Ship Election
Ban Continued

District Court Judge Alex
ander Holtzoff announced to-
day that he will continue a
temporary ban against a Ma
tional Labor Relations Board
order for a union election
aboard a fleet of Honduran
banana boats.
An injunction against the
election-which was scheduled
to start Monday-was granted
Saturday by District Court
Judge Richmond B. Keech.
A Honduran union, Sociedad
Nacional de Marineros de Hon.
duras, has challenged the au-
thority of the NLRB to order
the representation election.
At issue is the question of
who shah represent seamen on
about II vessels operated be-
tween Central American ports
and the United States by a
United Fruit Co. subsidiary,
the EmpresSa Lines.
Judge Holtzoff today heard
arguments on request by the
NLRB to dismiss the injunc-
ton complaint brought against
the Government agency by the
Honduran union. The union
is also requesting a preliminary
injunction against the repre-
sentation election until the
case can come up for trial.
The judge said today. "The
question is whether (the power
of the NLRB to order such an
election) extends to merchant
ships flying a foreign flag" just
because those ships are owned
by a citizen of the United
States.
Many United States ship
owners have transferred regis
try of their vessels to foreign
countries since the start of
World War II in an effort to
cut down on operating costs
of the vessels. The number of
such ships registered in foreign
countries has more than dou-
bled in the last 10 years.
United States Shipowners
operating foreign flag vessels
are estimated to reduce wages
paid to foreign seamen any,
where from one-third to one
fifth the amount they would
have to pay American seamen.

amino acids will be linked to
form specific protein molecules.
The code by which varying
positions of the 4 bases direct
the selection of 20 amino acids
for protein synthesis is COM
parable to the way the sequence
of 2 alternates of Morse code
dots and dashes-spell out
meaningful words from 26 let
ters of the alphabet.
Thus one of the genetic de-
coding problems faced by SCI
entiStS was how the 4-letter
language of RNA is translated
into the 20-letter language of
protein-and life.
The scientists now have TAX
en- a major step toward break
ing this code by adding syn
thetic RNA into a protein
synthesizing system and COM
ing up with certain proteins.
Drs. Nuremberg and Matthaei
first prepared a model expert
mental system from the bac-
terial Escherichia coli. They
discovered that a chemical re-
ducing agent, mercaptoethanol,
stabilized extracts of the bac-
terial cells, making the sys-
tenn easier to study.
BY feeding the system with
particular, known samples of
synthetic RNA, the scientists
observed that the system was
directed" to produce protein
material incorporating only one
of all the available amino acids.
When the structure, or code, of
the RNA samples was known,
it was possible to relate the
code to the specific amino acid
used.
For example, when poly
uridylic acid, a synthetic RNA
containing only the base uracil,
was added to the system, one
and only one amino acid,
phenylalinine, was incorporated
into protein. Similarly, when
other synthetic RNA COM
pounds were added containing
specific bases, different amino
acids were incorporated into
the protein produced.

NH Turns Up Clue
TO Code in Heredity

One Of life's greatest mys-
teries-the code which sends
messages on the form new life
will take-has been partly
solved by scientists in the Ma
tional Institutes of Health.
Behind the discovery is the
basic key to the riddle, of why
son resembles father, why hu-
mans look like humans and
dogs like dogs.
The work of Drs. Marshall
w. Nuremberg and ]. Heinrich
Matthaei also has revealed the
chemical secret of how mole
cules not only transmit the
message of heredity, but man
ufacture important proteins.
Linked with the finding is
the possibility that in time
man may be able to manufac-
ture such proteins in the lab
oratory, and that certain her.
editary diseases such as dia-
beteS and gout may be con-
trolled.
Drs. Nuremberg and Matthaei
are attached to the National
Institute of ArthritiS and Met
abolic Diseases at Bethesda.
The genetics code involves the
hereditary materials, DINA (de-
oxyribonucleic acid) and RNA
(ribonucleic acid), which occur
in all living cells. DINA, the
hereditary material of which
genes are made, is composed of
sugars and phosphoric acid
groups to which are attached
four chemical bases.
DNA's ability to transmit ge-
netic information from one
generation to the next derives
from its four bases which make
up a template, or mold. This
template of hereditary speci-
fications is transferred by the
messenger" RNA, which in
turn directs the manufacture
of protein needed for life.
RNA's job as a biochemical
middleman is dependent on its
own bases - adenine. guanine,
cytosine and uracil. The Sc
quence of these 4 bases deter

To Survey Kotzebue Airport for Lengthening

Tryck, Nymann & Associates o1 Ancho1age have been selected by the stale to perform special engi- neering work for the Ralph Wien Memorial Airport at Kotzebue, if was announced recently by Eu- gene Roguszka, director, Division of Aviation.
 The work outlined in the agree ment is primarily technical, and involves surveying and obtaining data pertinent to establishing a 5,0O0-foot landing strip at Kot- zebue. Roguszka indicated that it was intended to obtain sufficient information now to determine whether the existing east-west landing strip, which is somewhat less than 4,000 feet long, can be economically extended, or wfeth- CT the north-south landing strip should be developed. The landing strips are inadequate at present for the aircraft used by the air lines which provide scheduled service to Kotzebue. Wien Alaska Airlines operates F-27 aircraft from Fairbanks to the northern trading center and tourist spot, and Alaska Airlines operates DC-4 planes from Anchorage.
 The report is to be submitted by the engineering firm in SO days.

 Frank Heisler, airline coordi- nator for the International Assn. of Machinists, AFL-CIO, reported growing concern among mechanics represented by the LAM over the effects of radioactive matter sucked into jet engines they serv- ice.
 Fallout dangers are among topics due for discussion by 125 delegates to an LAM airline con- ference here. The delegates repre- sent about 43,00O LAM airline mechanics and service personnel in the United States and Canada.
