4 Moidw. M. t. IMI Redlamh Daily faelt Airto License Deadline Nears; Lines Lengthen Lines began to lengthen today for the first time at; the Redlands office of the Department of Motor Vehicles as the car registration period narrowed to only four days. While statewide sUtisticsf showed that nearly one-fourth of all mdorists in-the slate yet to pay the 1960 fees and renew their registaations.

the picture at the local office is not quite so bleak. C. Wintergerst, manager of the Redlands office, said that his office is running about the same as a year ago and that registrations are still runnin; through fairly speedily. By "routine," he those motorists who have the IBM tab which was mailed to them by the department and who need noi changes. The "trouble" line for those who have changes or other registration problems takes longer.

Have Payment Ready But he urged motorists even in the regular line to either havcj cash or have their personal checks already made out to the department for the exact amount sped fied on the tab card. This, he said, speeds up registration for everyone. Whether there will be extensive lines at the Redlands office is an unknown factor at this point. Mr. notes that the new Banning office of the DMV is open this year for the first time and this is expected to lighten the load on the Redlands office over a year ago.

This is the second year of registrations for the Redlands office. Open 8 a.m. To 5 p.fn. It is located at the southwest comer of Pine and No. Center street, just a half block north o( Brookside avenue.

The office is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m The actual registration deadline is Thursday, Feb. 4 at 5 p.m. for those who renew in person. In addition to personal payment, it is still permissible to renew by mail.

The DMV says "The fees, along with the pre-punched card which each registered motorist has received, may be paid by mail if the envelope is postmarked before midnight, Feb. 4." For those v.bo miss the deadline, the cost is heavy. As an example, the DMV pointed out that an ouner of a 1338 station wagon would pay some S37 before the Feb. 4. 'deadline.

This is $9 for registration and $28 for vehicle license sees. After the deadline, however, the! registration fee doubles to $18 and the license fees are upped 50 per cent to $42. This would make the total fee $60 compared with thcj pre-Feb. 4 amount of $37. According to the DMV, there are 1,710,454 Californians flirting with this added cost since that number had not yet obtained their registrations at the close of business Saurday noon.

Weather Gauges At Ranger's Station Stolen National Merit Scholarship Plan To Be Probed Student Visitors AtU.R.ToView Science Research The eyes of a party of high school students will be on the test-tube at the University of Redlands tomorrow. They are members of science classes in San Bernardino and Riverside county high schools and they'll be watching scientific researchers at work in their quest to control heart diseases. The students are touring the university laboratories in National Research Day activities. Their visit is sponsored by the San Bernardino County Heart Assn. The tour is given to provide promising young science an opportunity to see first hand the activities in an established research center.

Similar high school groups are touring other university research laboratories throughout the United States in observance of the American Heart Association's National Research Day program. It is a national and local program held in conjunction with the 1960 Heart Fund Drive, Feb. 1, through 28. Students visiting the University of Redlands will be guests of Dr. Robert H.

Maybury and Dr. Richard S. Welsh, assistant professors of chemistry, and Dr. Edgar Herland chairman of molecular biology. The three men are all research scientists and recipients of Heart -Association research grants.

M. siwiiioiiin Co-Feature GARY COOPER HESTON THE WBECKtf TIE MARY BEARE uerpococoit Coming "BIG Soon FISHERMAN" An investigation of the National Merit Scholarship Program by the executive board of the California Association of Secondary School is under way today. A statement released by the board declared that the investi- gatioi) was started "to identify commercial aspects of the gram" and to determine whether' or not the cash awarded is worth the expense.

Redlands High school principal Leonard Murdy said today that the investigation is part of a larger attempt to come to grips with the whole testing stiuation. "Testing is a. big field now, and let's face, it, many people are in the field in order to make mon ey, and they are doing it. Murdy said there was no impl cation that there are irregulari ties in the National Merit program but that certain features ot its operation have prompted questions by the statewide association of high school principals. Operating For Five Years National has been operat ing for "about five years now.

he -said, and Redlands High school has participated every year. "It's getting so not a month goes by but what we are engaged in some testing program or oth or," he said, "and we are under pressure from parents to participate in programs going on elsewhere. "We have to learn to be selective in the matter of these programs. They cost money. Last month a series of aptitude on an optional basis cost $8 per student.

Naturally, they were ad- minisfered on class time." The Natiopal Merit test costs each student Si even though the Ford Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation have agreed to shell out a total of $2V2 millions over ten years' for administrative expenses. In addition, the Ford Founda tion is prepared to put up 58,000,000 in scholarships to match contributions from industry to the program. Scores Scrutinized Another feature of the 1 a calling for careful scrutiny is the variation in the scores of the win ners, Murdy said. program provides for at a few winners in everj- state," he said. "We suspect that perhaps some Redlands High, school students may been denied scholarships that went to students with lower scores from another state because of this policy." Murdy said he felt the National program has "paid off" in Redlands because several students here have won scholarships.

"We would feel justified if Redlands High had only one winner," he said. Scholarships ranging from SlOO Sheriffs officers and federal officers today are combining forces to solve the burglary of the U. S. Weather Bureau station involving a loss of $135 worth of equipment from the sUUon located at the Ifill Creek Rangers station on Mill Creek Canyon road and Bryant street Saturday night'or early Sun day morning. The burglary was discovered yesterday morning when U.S.

est Service Ranger Martin L. Stephenson went to the stafion for the morning weather readings. He immediately reported the lary to the sheriffs sub-station at Yucaipa. Since the stolen instruments were the property of the federal! government the Federal Bureau Investigation was called in on the case. Officers from Sheriff Frank Bland's crime lab worked on it yesterday.

Thermograph Stolen Missing was the weather bureau's $123 thermograph and the forest service's psychrometer. valued at $10. Both are required for maintaining the daily weather bureau records at the station. Ranger Cal Hickerson said today that he had already borrowed a psychrometer to the gap but that the temperature recordings will have to be done manually and will be limited to high and low for each day until the thermograph is replaced. He described the thermograph as being a self registering ther- momrter.

It records the temperatures continually from a 24-hour basis on a seven-day graph. It is operated by an eight-day clock and is constructed mainly of brass. Measures Moisture The psychrometer is an instrument that consists of two thermometers mounted on a common base. One is wet and the other is dry. This instrument is used to measure moisture in the air.

It is invaluable to the U. S. Forest Service, particularly at times when its readings warn of low humidity and subsequent high fire danger. Ranger Hickerson said he could not understand the burglarj- as instruments would be of little value to anyone except a weather observer. The psychrometer is of no value at all without the tables which are used to compute the moisture content of the atmosphere from the two thermometer readings.

He said that of course the burglars could make their own table if they are mathematically inclined. Not taken by the burglars were the maximum minimum.ther mometer and the rain gauge. The weather station is enclosed in a fenced area with an unlocked gate. It is one-eighth of a mile east of street and south of Mill Creek road. The burg lary occurred between the 3 p.m.

His subject was to Gain a Secondary Income." Brown Offers: Budget Of. 2y2-BilliM. (Continued from Page 1) part, by using a carry-over surplus from the end of the current fiscal year on June .30 of almost 80 million dollars.

It is the 80-million-dollar surplus that some Republicans and "economy bloc" Democrats have their eyes on. They said Brown asked for more money than he needed at the last session he rammed through a tax program raising income and corporation taxes, levying a new tax on tobacco and boosting other levies. Pay Now Plan Urged But Brown said he believed 'pay-as-you-go" financing of building needs was essential in the present period of high interest rates for bond. Brown's budget message i h- lighted the opening formalities of a legislative session which is expected to run until the end of March. The governor already has said he intends to call a special session to run concurrently with the budget session in March to con sider air pollution control measures and reorganization of higher education.

He also is expected to permit the lawmakers to consider a special 1 million dollar appropriation for Squaw Valley and may open the up to government re organization. I'nder the Con.stitution, the lawmakers are restricted to considering only the budget and taxes in even-numbered years unless the governor specifically calls a special session. Leaders of both houses said they hoped to recess by the end of the week until Feb. 29. This would give the A-sscmbly Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee three weeks in which to review Brown's budget proposals.
