Telegram, April 18, 1967 Researcher Say Transmissions Of Data Via Animals Is Possible By ROBERT GOLDENSTEIN, AP Science Writer CHICAGO (AP) Evidence that specific information can be transmitted from one animal to another by means of brain extract injections was reported by two separate research groups today. The experiments were with laboratory rats and mice, but Dr. Georges Ungar of Baylor University College of Medicine, Houston, said the findings "probably can be extended to some of the more complex mental processes" in humans.

Both research groups reported their results at the annual meeting of the Fedration of American Societies for Experimental Biology. Ungar said the probability of his findings being due to chance were "less than 1 in 1,000." Dr. Walter B. Essman und Dr. Gerald M.

Lehrer of the Department of Psychology, Queens College, City University of New York, the other research team, described their results as "very statistically significant." Both experiments tested the ability of mice to escape from a maze. Ungar trained a group of rats to escape from -shaped maze by an arm lighted by on electric bulb. The other arm was dark and I charged with electricity, Extracts prepared from the brains of these trained animals then were injected Into un trained rats or mice. A second group of rats and mice was giv-, en extracts from the brains of untrained laboratory animals. Before the injections, slightly more than half of each group chose the lighted escape route.

In later tests, more than three quarters of the mice who had received brain extracts from trained animals chose the lighted or shock-free escape route, The other mice followed the sanic escape routes they chose before injections from untrained animals. "Over 400 animals have now been tested in various learning situations and over-all results indicate a very high probability that some specific learned information has been from the trained donors to the recipients," Ungar said, Essman and Lehrer used the same extract injection technique to test the effects on animals seeking a left or right excape from their maze. They obtained frem the brain cells of trained an extract of ribonuelel acid, a substance Involved in the transmission oi hereditary traits. They found that the majority of mice which were injected with extract from the brains of mice taught to select the lefthand escape route followed that path, A right-handed pattern prevailed among mice receiving extract from mice taught to leave by that route. Ungar said learned informa tion can be transferred by chemical means and that "the chemical nature of its coding can hardly be doubted.

He theorized that nerve cells in the brain are labeled by a specific chemical molecule that when the cells of two different channels are activated their chemical labels and thereby establish a new connection between the two channels." U.S. Comics Are Shown In France PARIS (AP) are getting, their first look at what American youth and their parents have been chuckling at for years--the funnies. American comic strips and their creators are the center of exposition here in the Lourvre, one of the world's most famous museums. The exposition is sponsored by the Museum des Arts Decoratifs and will run through June 12. An extension is being planned, however, in view of the public's smiling response.

"We are highly encouraged by attendance so far, both from the public and professional circles," said Claude Moliterni, director of the French Society of Research in Illustrated Literature. "This is an exciting climax to the 18-month campaign we have been conducting to inform the French on American comic strip concepts." More than half of the exposition's six display rooms are devoted to American comic strips, their artists and scriptwriters. The exposition also traces the displays. evolution of figurative drawings The stage by stage illustration from carved Trojan columns to of comic strip production brings space-travel funnies.

Precedent For Keeping Powell Out WASHINGTON (AP) The case of a South Carolina "Corp etbagger" 97 years ago was cited Saturday as a precedent for the House to refuse to honor the re-election of Adam Clayton Powell. Powell, denied his seat by House resolution earlier this year, was re-elected Tuesday by his constituents in the Harlem district of New York City. Rep. M.

G. (Gene) Snyder, cited the 1870 case of the Rev. Benjamin Franklin Whittemore in a report to constituents. According to Snyder, Whittemore was a Methodist minister from Massachusetts who became a Union army chaplain during the Civil War, then settled in Darlington, S.C., and was elected to Congress. Whittemore served in Congress July 18, 1868, until Feb.

24, 1870. when he resigned in the face of threatened expulsion from the House on charges that he sold appointments to the military and naval academies for prices ranging up to $2,000 each. His South Carolina constituents re-elected him, but June 21, 1870, the House, by a 130-24 vote, refused to permit him to be sworn and directed that his credentials be returned to him. Whittemore's supporters, like Powell, contended that he met the constitutional qualifications of citizenship, age and residence. Snyder quoted the remarks of Rep.

John A. Logan of Illinois, in the successful movement to exclude Whittemore in 1870. "His constituents were notified by this House, by the resolution we adopted, that we refused to have his presence here. Yet, sir, he has been returned by them to this House as an insult. They tell us that he shall be a member of Congress and we have no power to prevent his taking his seat.

State's Ruritans Plan Boys Home Workshop The North Carolina Council of Ruritans has voted to build and equip a manual arts workshop building at Boys Home.

The announcement was made this week by Noel Lee of Washington, newly elected president of the state Ruritan Council. It followed the action by the council at its annual convention on the Boys Home campus at Lake Waccamaw last week-end. Lee was quick to point out that the decision is by no means final. "Under our constitution," he said, "a majority of the local clubs in the council must pass it before the porject can be officially approved." "We are now in the process of polling the clubs for their opinions. I am confident that a majority will approve." R.

N. McCray, director of Boys Home, termed the proposed project "something we have hoped for at Boys Home for a long time." "We feel that a manual arts workshop such as this will greatly enchance out ability to make well rounded and respectable men out of the boys that come to us." According to Lee, no plans have been made as yet for the design or size of the building. "This will come after final approval has been given by the local clubs and after the committee for the project has met with R. N. McCray of the Home.

We have no estimate of the cost at this time." A tentative, starting date for construction fo the building has not been set, either, according to Lee. "Here again, it will depend on when final approval can be received and when final plans can be worked out," he said. "Hopefully, construction will be well underway when the state council holds its convention on the Boys Home campus again next year." Fulbright Asking Cut Of Troops In Europe By JACK BELL WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. J.W. Fulbright said today the United States ought to cut its European troop commitments in half in recognition of relaxing East-West tensions.

The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee predicted in an interview a special committee of which he is a member will find substantial reasons to back a resolution calling for a reduction of the six American divisions now there. "It seems to met," the ArkanDemocrat said, "that conditions in Europe are such that we could withdraw half of our troops there without endangering Western Europe's security. "The Russians seem to be doing everything they can to tensions in Europe, even though they continue to make things difficult for us in Asia. "It doesn't make much sense for us to continue to keep six divisions there when three would be just as good a guarentee of our intentions to defend Western Europe against an attack almost nobody now. thinks is likely."
