"But to that I reply, sure we were. That was one of our purposes in going." Others said they went merely because they thought "it was right." "In my case," commented the Rev. Douglass Colbert, assistant minister at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, "I knew this was right and that I had to go no matter what. So I talked over the dangers with my wife and four children, then went." HE SAID he particularly the same, "definite hope for wisp.

"If anyone had had that in mind, he would have been disillusioned when he saw the troopers begin unlimber-ing the billy clubs." AGREEING with him was another Methodist, the Rev. Paul Metzger, pastor of Ham-line Church, St. Paul, who was held by police for 18 hours after one demonstration.

Pregnancy tends to protect by several of the clergymen to Alabama were dead serious with "plenty of fears to overcome," according to the Rev. Thomas Basich of Advent Lutheran Church, Rose-ville. One of the most frequently mentioned "other reasons" was that of helping to curb violence during the demonstrations. Several clergymen noted the fact that they were always asked to be in the front rank of demonstrators, since troopers appeared more restrained in the presence of ministers. Mr.

Basich said he was told by a Justice Department many, in proportion to the was the desire to learn better how to cope with civil rights problems in Minnesota. number of children they bear.

This is apparently why breast cancer incidence is less after menopause, he suggested. In all, finally, about 6 per cent of women are afflicted.

Lemon believes an estriol secretion test could pick out the younger women who might be susceptible. It is a tedious, expensive test now, but it might well be simplified and automated. IT MIGHT be given as a screening test then to three especially suspicious groups: young, infertile women; those with strong family breast cancer histories, and those with recurrent cystic disease of the breast. Then, he said: "Women with estriol deficiency could safely receive estriol substitution therapy on a long-term basis, to reduce the carcinogenic (cancer-causing) hazards" of their other sex hormones. The medical world is not yet ready for such a step.

(UPI) The Badger Ordnance Works south of Baraboo, a producer of gunpowder during World War II and the Korean War, stands a good chance of housing the world's largest atom smasher, the Milwaukee Sentinel reported Sunday night. Marshall Keith, associate director of the Midwestern Universities Research Association (MURA), said the Baraboo site "offers nearly everything" the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) wants in a site for the proposed $300 million research device. Wisconsin's congressional delegation was told Thursday that sites at Baraboo and Stoughton were being considered by a committee of the National Academy of Sciences. Keith said MURA felt that a Stoughton site was "out of the question." That site was proposed for a MURA atomic accelerator that failed to get approval two years ago.

The old proposal was for a 2V2- billion electron-volt (BEV) device. The new proposal is for a high-energy, 200- to 300-BEV atom smasher. Keith said that if the MURA board of directors approved, a scientific survey of the Baraboo site, 35 miles northwest of Madison on Hwy. 12, would be made soon. The Stoughton site contains 240 acres.

The project would require 2,000 acres at once and 2,000 acres for expansion. The Baraboo site has more than 5,000 acres. The Badger Ordnance Works is held by the government on a standby basis. It has about 1,000 buildings. rough roads he travels.
