West--Associated Press Staff Writer) Washington, March Vice President Curtis is likely to have a larger measure of participation in the affairs of government during the Hoover administration a lias any other vice president in more than a generation.

John Spang- Icr Nicholas, of the staff of the biological laboratory here and of Yale university, is the first man in the world to perform two of the most delicate operations ever attempted. One was an operation on a rat before i i harm to the mother or the young, and the other was the removal of the membrane of a fish egg, the size of a pinhead, without injury to the unhatehed fish, which a a developed a No. a i a inslrum'ents were employed. A pair of very fine scissors was Dr. Nicholas' principal asset.

His work opened to scientific research a field hitherto close. Laboratory men, seeking knowledge of biological changes before birth in order to apply this i a i i i a a a a i a benefit, have been handicapped by inability to treat directly the unborn young. In case ol the rats their experiments were somewhat clouded by the necessity of working only with the mother. Whenever they did i to her whicji affected the young, they could only guess at how the changes were produced. Before Dr.

Nicholas showed how to remove the fish egg membrane, that covering interfered i of the fish because it produced chemical action that distorted the experiments. The methods demonstrated by Dr. Nicholas makes it possible to. the time when the internal glands begin to form and to i Some of these glands in a beings, after being a mystery for centuries, recently have been to con- Irol i a life i By showing how to study rals directly. Dr.

Nicholas raised the study of life's beginning one step closer to a use. His was the first successful a i of its kind into the order of mammals. Regeneration, the power of cells to reproduce parts which have been destroyed, is another realm of research whose boundaries are broadened by the demonstrations. Investigators are taking a a a of them. In fact, a few weeks after Dr.

Nicholas succeeded in removing the covering of the young fish. Dr. Armstrong at Wood's Hole, i i and i knowing what Dr. Nicholas was doing, demonstrated the feasibility of the same operative method.
