Cyprus Police

NICOSIA. Cyprus. Dec. II
(AP).-Poliee opened fire on
Turkish Cypriot students today,
repeatedly wounding two ter
age boys. one Of them seriously.
The students were Demon
strating in the streets Of the
Turkish sector Of Nicosia fol-
lowing a midnight gunbattle
between Turks and Cyprus po-
lice which resulted In the death
Of two Turks, q man and Q
woman. and wounding of seven
others.
Police said large numbers Of
students and Turkish civilians
gathered In the main square Of
Nicosia's Turkish sector to dem
onstrate over the earlier deaths.
The police spokesman re-
ported Greeks driving private
cars or buses were shot ct and
stoned by Turkish demonstra-
tors but escaped injury.
Police Station Stoned
The police spokesman said
O crowd Of Turks stormed the
police station in the Turkish
sector and tried to raise the
Turkish flag. They were stopped
and chased from the building
by Turkish cypriot police Of
ficers.
Seven Greek and three Turk
ish Cypriot cabinet ministers
met. meanwhile, with Cyprus
President Archbishop Makarios
and Turkish Cypriot leader and
Vice President DR.. FAIL Kut-
chuk at the presidential palace.
The early morning violence
In narrow streets dividing the
Greek and Turkish sectors Of
Nicosia was the first between
the two groups since Britain
granted independence to the
island In 1860. Before inde-
pendence the two groups often
clashed in bloody battles.
Police said the shooting broke
out after an angry crowd Of
Turks opened fire on police
men. The Turks. however, said
the incident was "a consequence
Of police methods used against
the Turkish community"
PrOv0cation Charged
"The adventures (the
Greeks) are trying to provoke
us through their terrorist
methods and drag US into
greater incidents" the Turkish
leadership said in q commu-
nique.
Some sources claim the battle
actually started after shots
were fired from q car that
passed a crowd which was
arguing with policemen.
The hour-long battle with
machineguns, pistols and rifles
climaxed three weeks Of
mounting tension between the
100000 Greek Cypriots and
100000 Turks over national
leadership and proposed
changes to the country's con-
stitution.
OF the total injured, seven
were Turks and two were Greek
Cypriots.
DR.. Kutchuk and Defense
Minister Osman Orek met with
Greek Cypriot Interior Minis
ter Polycarpos Yiorgadjis at
the police headquarters imme-
diately after the shooting
ended.
The constitution, worked out
when Cyprus was still a Brit
ish colony, divides the Greeks
and Turks politically and cul-
turally as well as in the adj
ministration Of justice.
President Makarios contends
the provisions impede the func-
tioning Of the state and has
asked for amendments. The
Turks, however, have objected
to any proposed revision that
would weaken their rights.

Exultant Communist claims

situation In South Wet Nam

The chances are that these

Price-Supp0rt
 Deadline Nears, Farmers Advised

Jan. 31, 1863, is the deadlina for price-support loans and pur- chase agreements on a number of crops harvested in 1862, Dar-' rell L. Baird, Chairman, Agricul- tural Stabilization and Conserva- tion County Committee, has an- nounced. The crops include barley and oats.
 Baird listed the following gen- eral provisions of loans and pur. chase agreements on the 1963 crop of commodities: Price support is made avail.i able through farm storage loans, warehouse storage loans, and pur- chase agreements. The price sup- port program is available to an. individual, partnership, corpora- tion, trust, etc.
 Disbursement of loans is made to producers by financial institu- tions or by ASCS County Offices by sight drafts drawn on Com- modity Credit Corporation.
 Loans mature on demand, but not later than April 30, 1863 in the State of Alaska.
 The basic support rate for loans and settlement purposes for farm- stored and warehouse-stor bar- ley and oats is $1.80 and S1.20 per bushel respectively.
 The Chairman reminded grow CTS that good storage, which must first be approved by the ASC County Committee, is a requisite for obtaining a price -suppert lean on any farm-stored crop. While the farmer himself is responsible for storing a crop covered by a purchase agreement, the condition and quality of crop will be de- termining factor in the amount of the support he receives should he decide to deliver his crop un- der the support program at the end of the season.

 Also at the meeting, the club voted to contact the Kenai City Council and the City Planning Commission regarding the estab- lishment of litter cans in various areas of the city in an endeavor to keep the streets free of papers and other rubbish and to promote a sense of pride and neatness in the citizens. The Garden Club is willing to supply the litter cans if the City will agree to collect and empty them at regular inter- vals.
 Guest speaker for the evening was Mrs. w. R. Struble, who gave a book report on "Driftwood," written by Mary E. Thompson. Lamps, planters and other objects made from driftwood were dis played. One display featured sprigs of pussy willows picked that very day in Mrs. Henry Knackstedt's yard.
 It was also decided that the club will put out mimeographed sheets this summer in the Kenai Tourist Center directing visitors to the various gardens in the vi- cinity.
 Seeds for spring planting will be discussed at the next meeting announced for 7:30 pm. on Feb. 6 at the home of Mrs. Tom Hayes.

For this reason, Dr. Kurt Benirschke and colleagues at Dartmouth Medical College, Hanover, N. H., arc using ar madillos for studies of preg- nancy and birth defects under a National Foundation March of Dimes research grant.
 It takes about the same length of tine-nine months for baby armadillos or baby humans to develop in the womb. And in both species, the placentas are structurally sim liar.
 But a quirk of nature has made this odd mammal even more useful for medical re- search. It always has litter of four. The four baby arma- dllloS come from the same egg and are therefore always of the same sex.
 What has this to do with human twins?
 For years, scientists have be- lieved that identical twins those who develop through di- vision of the same egg-are exactly alike doWn.to the very last gene. They've assumed that 1t was this genetic similarity that permits successful trans plants of skin or of organs between identical twins.
 If this theory were whelly correct, 1t should be easy to exchange skin gratis between identical young Of the same armadillo litter since they all came from a single egg.
 But Dr. Benirschlle and his associates, Dr. Alastaire H. 1mre and Dr. John Anderson, have found that such gratis often fail to "tate <"
 This paradox has led them to suspect that the answer to graft tolerance cannot be found solely in genetic make up. The March of Dimes re- searchers think the key may lie, at least in part, in the re lationship Of the embryo t the placenta - the materia which nourishes the unborn infant.
 Each armadillo quadruplef has its own isolated segment of placenta. This means thar each gets a slightly different supply of nutrients, hormones

stances? Could such a reaction lead to spontaneous abortion or a defect in the offspring?
 Or could it be that the ex- change of substances through the placenta permits the moth- CT to accept the embryo?
 Does this exchange also make 1t possible for some mothers and children to toler- ate each others skin or organ gratis later in life?
 These are questions which have stumped scientists for many years. The answers, though still to come, may throw a bright new light on many problems of pregnancy, 1 the causes of certain birth de- fleets, and the success or failure of organ transplants.
 And 1t may be one of the natures more incredible crea- lures - dasypus novemcinctus (knoWn famiiarly as Mrs. Armadillo) - who will help turn the switch on this lamp of knowledge.

and blood clements. While such differences are minute, they may be just enough to indIyidualize each animals de- velopment so he won't accept gratis and tranSplants from his own Hibernate.
 Human twins, on the other hand, sometimes share a com mon piacenta-each getting ex actlY the same nutrients for development. Thus they be- come favorable candidates for any necessary organ exchange or skin graft ln later life.
 If graft acceptance in twins is related 10 their sharing-or not sharing -t the same pla- centa, some other puzzles oi pregnancy may also be a little closer to solution.
 Why, for example doesn't a pregnant animal reject its own embryo, which is actually a foreign substance made ur of cells quite different from her own?
 Or does she, in some in-
