5-B THE ABILENE REPORTER-NEWS Abilene, Texas, Monday Evening, October 13, Mosquitoes Many Scientists In Medical Study By RICEIARD GREENOUGH AMANI, Tanganyika AP -Most people go out of their wa to avoid mosquitoes. But here on the top of a foot mountain that juts up from the steaming jungle, a handful of scientists regularly offer their arms and legs as food for the hungry insects. Mosquitoes' staple diet is blood --and the scientists become bite bait to keep their laboratory life cycle going. Through studying caged mosquitoes the medical researchers hope to learn more about malaria, one of the world's greatest killers of children. The scientists at the East Africa Institute for Maiaria and Vector Borne Diseases collect and breed the mosquitoes by the thousands.

Wo will provide the insects' lunch is decided by a rotation system among the doctors. In another phase of research, about 5,000 of the Anophele Gam- biae, the most deadly malaria- carrying mosquito in Africa, have been caught, marked and released in the past year. Marking is done by the application, with the aid of a tripod magnifying- glass, of tiny spots of various colored paint on back of the insect. Radioactive Bugs Researchers also dip small radio Isotopes in the water in which the larvae of a few thousand mosquitoes are being bred in an in- sectary. This makes the grown insect minutely radioactive, so it will be detectable by a Geiger counter or will show up against photographic plates.

The institute, one of the world's top two or three malaria research and teaching centers, occupies an odd assortment of buildings that once made up a celebrated tropical botanical garden, created by the Germans when they possessed Tanganyika. The ornate, old-style greenhouses, house colonies of mosquitoes, kept at heated temperatures in safely netted cases. There are also scores of white enamel water trays, filled with the insects in varying forms of the weeklong development from larvae to full growth. Tlie rest of the buildings are taken up with room after room of Tobacco Report PARIS (API--The French paid 966 million dollars for tobacco last year. An official report said the state tobacco monopoly took $492,857,206 of the total as a revenue profit.

The first time I used it ho immediately took me to CASEY'S where they always serve French Fries with all their Sandwiches!" NEW YORK (AP)-There's a Batman comic book on his bedside table and a rock 'n' roll program blaring over his radio.

He's slouchy, gangly and crew-cut. But Batman is sprawled over an open chess book and his nail-bit ten fingers are deftly moving chess pieces over the black and white board which means more to than anything else in his life. Bobby Fischer doesn't want to a baseball star or a football player or the most popular fellow at the prom. He wants to be chess champion of the world--and it seems a pretty sure bet he will be. Most Americans don't know it, but their honor in a big international contest with Russia is riding on the thin shoulders of this 15-year-old boy from Brooklyn.

Bobby is hailed by the experts as the greatest chess mind the world produced in many years. 'He doesn't look like one he looks more like a farmer's boy than an intellectual--but he is a genius," says Hans Kmoch, secretary of the Manhattan Chess Club, which is the nerve center of chess in the United States. "Fischer is something unique. None of the great ones ever accomplished so much so early." He has become an international master--the youngest in the ong history of the game--and will meet the world's top seven players this year in a challenger's tournament. The exact date and place remain to be determined.

The winner will get a at the present world champion, Russia's Mikhail Botvinnik. So far, this hasn't meant much to most Americans, who look on chess as an intricate pastime for contemplative graybeards. But now even people uninterested in chess are beginning to feel it would be a fine feather in Uncle Sam's cap to have Bobby whip Russia's best players in a game that commands great attention in Europe and South America. Bobby himself--who presents a porcupine exterior to the world-doesn't show much interest in pos sible cold war implications of his career. He just wants to be champion.

One Oilier S. Champ If he makes it this try, he'll be the youngest world champion in chess history--and only the second American ever to occupy that lofty position. The first U.S. champion was Paul Morphy, who turned the trick at 21 a century ago. Bobby, who could give a clam lessons on how to keep its mouth shut, won't say what he thinks of his chances.

Nobody else think; he make it this time. But then, nobody thought he could win the American chosf championship at 14 and nobody expected him to do well at the recent international chess tourna' ment in Yugoslavia. Bobby, playing in his first inter national competition, tied for fifth place--winning his place in the star-studded Challengers. Bobby, a tall boy with the classic adolescent slump and light jr'own hair, sat on his bed, idly moving the figures on the chess xiard in front of him. He was dressed as usual in a sports shirt.

Bobby won the American chess championship in dungarees and a T-shirt: no one remembers seeing im in a coat and tie. The Russians kept winning the ig ones in chess, he said, because "everybody there plays. They're subsidized. "No, you don't talk at chess Why should you alk? Except when you offer a draw. But you can say anything.

They know what you mean. Chess slayers speak lots of languages. "Fun? No, a tournament's no fun, but they're all right." Docs he think he can win the Challengers' and get a shot at the championship? He shrugged and Lwisted his lip. "I don't know." Bobby has few friends his own age. He comes home from school about 2 o'clock and picks up a chess book.

Every spare minute, le is either reading about chess, analyzing moves on his bedside chess board or going somewhere' play chess. 1 Enlistees May Pick 4th Armored The U.S. Army has announced opening of an enlistment op- lion for assignment wilh the 4lh Armored Division, now stationed in Europe.

"Girls can't play chess," he says. "Bobby isn't interested in anybody unless they play chess--and there just aren't many kids who like it," says Mrs. Fischer. To make friends with Bobby, you not only have to play chess --you have to play good chess. Maurice Kasper, president of the Manhattan Chess Club, commented: "We have about 100 students in the club that Bobby could associate with.

But he is so much superior, you see. He just plays with the stronger players. "Yes, Bobby definitely does think well of himself. But he is a phenomenon that happens once in a hundred a thousand. "He is also a young boy.

He is not accustomed to such publicity and he can't handle it yet. But you must give him a little tune. He is a good boy." Bobby lives with his mother in a small fourth-floor walkup apartment in a neat section of Brooklyn. His 21-year-old sister, Joan, lived there too until her marriage last month. Their parents separated when Bobby was 2.

Mrs. Fischer, a University of Colorado graduate, is a registered nurse now earning her MA degree. Bobby, she says, is no disciplinary problem. Need for Fresh Air "There's nothing to discipline him about," Mrs. Fischer explains.

"The only thing I do is nag him to take his nose out of his chess books and go outside for some fresh air." Bobby started in Die game at age 5 when Joan got a chess set and the two puzzled out the directions. Mrs. Fischer doesn't know a thing about chess. "1 spent four years trying to get him away from it, but I've given up now." she says. "He was only 8 when he first went to the Brooklyn Chess Club.

He was pretty sensitive and they used to tease him about thinking he could play with grownups. He played about four years before he won at all. tried to slop him. The school people said I should try to get him away from it. He used to get aw fully upset.

"You know, people say it's the publicity that attracts him to chess. Well, there wasn't any glory for years. It was all discouragement." By CYNTHIA LOWRY UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) The United Nations delegate, proud of his florid oratory, delivered a long speech with each word rich and beautiful. When he concluded, a U.N.

in- Lerpreter read the French translation clear, lucid, but neatly pruned of excessive verbiage. The delegate rushed up. "That's not what I said," he protested furiously. "Monsieur," replied the interpreter smoothly, "that is what you ought to have said." This is the favorite story of the United Nations' Interpretive Section, but in practice the 70-odd translators have little' time or inclination to edit speeches. Mostly they just try to keep up with them.

It might seem simple to merely translate sentences word for word as a speaker mouths them. Actually, much more is required a U.N. interpreter. Many know ilmost as much about the subject inder discussion as the speaker. About a third of the interpretive taff--numbering 70--are Ph.D's.

lost own degrees in law, econom- cs, political science, mathematics comparative literature, or some learned specialty. All are constantly boning up on locuments and background ma- erial lo keep up with subjects un- ler discussion by the various com- nittees to which they are as- igned. Recently, before 35 inter- ireters went to Geneva for the atomic energy conference, they lad a cram course to familiarize hem further with the subject and he terminology. At least one in- erpreter, though, didn't need it: already held two advanced degrees in nuclear physics. A Tool To Use "The minimum requirement for an interpreter is fluency in three anguages and most of our staff can handle more than that," says Jeorge L.

Sherry, acting chief of he section. "But none of us thinks if himself as a linguist. Language just a tool." Interpreters must pass a rough examination before they are hired or the jobs, which pay from more than $14,000 a year. Sherry's U'. N.

languages are Jussian, French and English, anc le's also fluent in German and Romanian. (The official U.N. Ian gtiages are French, English, Russian, Chinese and Spanish.) Sher- is an English interpreter, which ncans lie always interprets Rus- iian and French into English. He is often at the microphone luring TV and radio broadcasts important U.N. proceedings, and his pleasant, precise voice mown to millions.

The son of a Polish engineer iherry came to the United as a baby. He has college degrees political science and literature nd now is working toward his doc- or's degree in political science. It takes more than a flair for anguages to make a good U.N interpreter, Sherry says. At th world organization, two types interpretation are used. One i simultaneous, when the interpret er translates as the speech goe along.

The other is consecutive when he does his interpretatioi after the speech is finished. "You can compare either one ti broadcasting a basketball says Sherry. "You must have thi ability to analyze things on tin fly." Once Sherry was making simultaneous translation of speech by the late Andrei Vishin sky, with the Soviet delcgati charging the Western powers will causing bloodshed. He used tin phrase, "bloody boys before mj reference Sherry instant ly recognized as a quotation frorr Brois Godunov, the Russian class ic. Borrowed From Macbeth A literal translation would hav meant nothing to listeners, Sherry nimbly substituted an ap propriate quotation Macbeth about "bloody instructions which being taught, return to plamie th inventor." AM this while he wa translating at a clip of 200 word a minute.

U.N. interpreters are not ei corn-aged to dramatize their pei formance, Sherry says, althoug some are inclined to imitate th speakers' moods and styles. Sometimes a delegate will cor reel a translation as it is goin said 'I no 'I Once Sherry wa called by a delegate for substitu: ing "man of war" for "warship. Also, he explains cautiously "The delegates sometimes wis they had not said something, an they make a 'correction' uj th translation that removes it fron the records."
