On the other hand, (he town's high school received another bomh scare this morning shortly after 9 a.m., which forced the evacuation of the building. It was the third scare in two days.

The area has been receiving at least one bomh threat per day for the last few weeks, and as the situation now exists, it appears that they will continue. Chief Lynch has three officers, Sgt. George Shepard, and Inspectors John Harvey and Daniel Ballou to the investigation. At a school committee meeting last night, it was decided to draft a formal letter to the town selectmen requesting greatly increased police protection of all public buildings. Tiie letter is expected to reach the hands of the board today.

The plane, an RFdc Phantom; was shot down 42 miles south of the coastal city of Vinh and the two crewmen on board "are presumed dead," the spokesmen said.

In the past, attacks on unarmed American reconnaissance planes operating over North Viet nam since the end of the bombing have been followed by heavy U.S. air attacks on the antiaircraft bases which attacked the plane.

Ambassador Christopher Phillips in his speech Thursday gave far more emphasis to opposing the expulsion of Nationalist China from the world forum than he did to opposing the admission of Peking.

Droney declined to name the two who were asked to take the lie detector tests but did say they were both from the Lowell area and that both "were very co operative." "WE HAVE no evidence of foul play at this time but the fact that there has been no contact by Mrs. Carnivale to close friends and relatives over the past 15 months doesn't look very good," Droney stated. There is no evidence that Mrs.

This may explain why California today has' the largest population of any state in the union, and why it has fostered bizarre movements ranging from the John Birch Society to the Gay Liberation Front. Now an obscure California based pressure group claiming only 1,500 members is threaten ing to force revision of public school science curricula all the dbuntry. The group is called the Creation Hesearh Society and, according to its statement, it is dedicated (o the view that Holy Scripture is "historically and scientifically true" and that "the account origins in Genesis is a factual presentation of simple historical truths." CRS has succeeded in persuading the California state board of education to require local school districts to offer this fundamenlalist view of creation along with the prevailing Darwinian theory of evolution in general science courses offered in public schools throughout the state, THIS CURIOUS turn of events might be of no more than passing interest lo non Californians the State Police is working out of Lowell and is In charge of the investigation. He said the case has resulted in telephone contact with "a number of out of state people from as far. away as Florida and Bermuda.

Droney the delay in notifying' the District Attorney's office about the case has made the investigation somewhat difficult. The woman has been missing since August of 1969 but the D.A.'s office was not notified until September of 1970: Last month the District Attorney's office and local police asked for the public's assistance in finding the woman. Known as "Ellie," the woman' was last seen in Chelmsford on the night of Aug. 6, 1969. Police describe the woman as "very attractive," weighing 135 pounds, five feet seven inches tail with blonde hair, blue eyes and a medium build.

find their way into California classrooms. Thus, no publisher can afford to ignore California's requirements, but at the same time none would wish to print two editions of a textbook, one for California and one for the rest of the nation. Just as auto manufacturers found it expedient to build all engines to conform to California's exhaust emission standards, so publishers would tend to tailor texts to meet the needs of California schools. The American Institute of Biological Sciences, alarmed at. the implications of CRS' anti Darwinian lobbying, has taken a close look at the California situation in a recent issue of its magazine, Bioscience.

AIBS finds that there is a lot more to the affair than just a replay of the Scopes trial which rocked the nation 45 years ago. THE CELEBRATED monkey trial of 1935 was a clear cut joining of the battle between fundamentalism and modernism, and was waaed primarily by the believer William Jennings Bryan and the skeptic Clarence Davrow, But in the present controversy, Bioscience comments, "a new dimension was added scientist versus scientist." CRS claims that roughly 20 per wnt of its members are practicing natural scientists with either master or doctor degrees. These 3M sci JM ELINOR CARNIVALE missing a year AP WJRCPItOTO strike 80 per cent of he ration's nearly 10 mil. lion workers off their jobs. entists are classified as "voling" members of the society, their 1,200 lay colleagues being listed as "sustaining" members who supposedly bankroll the group's lobbying efforts.

Chief purpose of the voting members, according to Bioscience, "is to publish scientific research in support uf the thesis that the material universe, including plants, animals and man, is the result of direct creative action on the part of a personal God." IN LIGHT ofreccnt church stale, court decisions, it might seem that CRS' theological orientation would be self defeating, but the society contends that just the reverse is the case. One ot its three arguments against the exclusive leaching of Darwinism is that "Christian children have equal. rights under the law with atheist and agnostic children in tax supported and since it. has been ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court to teach of God in the. public schools, then it is equally unconstitutional to teach the absence of Gad." This ignores the fact that the Darwinian evolutionary view does not "teach the absence of God" any more than Einstein's theory special relativity, Koch's germ theory of disease, or Euclid's geometrical axioms do.
