I Red Cross, Civil Defense Care For 22 Evacuated Families (Flood Story "also on page one.) Plight of Salem area residents stranded or marooned by remaining flood waters is claiming the attention ol Red Cross and Civil Defense workers. Approximately 22 families from the Marion and Polk County areas have left their homes because of flood waters, it was reported. No cases of dire hardship were reported by Frank Parch er.

A group of families marooned on an island in the middle of swirling Willamette River flood waters north of Salem in the Spong's Landing-Clear Lake areas will be taken food today. Willard Taylor, Salem riverman and member of the civil defense water rescue division will haul food and a Red Cross representa tive to tne families this morning. Three of the families are those of Robbins, T. A. Nelson and Chester C.

Baker. archer said he talked with them Wednesday via telephone and they assured him they were in "good shape," but asked him to bring in some food supplies for them. One family, driven from its home in the Independence area Tues day, has been supplied with food and lodging by the Red Cross. In Ne Difficulty Parcher added several families in Polk County, mostly near In dependence, were cut off by high water. He said Wednesday none of these families were reportedly in any difficulty.

He said he would contact them again today. Parcher also advised the Red Cross office would be on call 24 hours a day for the next few days. Undetermined, damage to homes in the Keizer district north of Salem and- along the lowland road leading, from South River Road to Brown's Island south of Salem was reported. In the Keizer area water was reported up1 to ground floor level in some instances. In the Brown's Island area several homes have been flooded almost to ground floor ceilings.

Water in both areas was reported slowly receding Wednesday. Reads Still Blacked County Commissioner E. Rogers reported that many Marion County roads were still impassable Wednesday. These are located, he -said, in the Sydney-Talbot area, the Pudding River area several miles southwest of Silverton on the old Salem -Silverton highway, and in the Mission Bottom and Keizer-Spongs landing area. The county was anticipating the usual damage to road beds in the Sydney-Talbot district.

There roads probably will require repairs after the flood waters go down enough to be made passable. The approach to a bridge in the Spong's landing district has been washed away and road crews will begin today to repair it, Rogers said. River Drop Needed Rogers estimated the river would have to back down to the 17 or 18 foot stages before the Sydney-Talbot. roads would be dry and that a drop below 20 feet would Time S4y Here Is When to List Your Tax Deductions xstman Kodak 44 Emerson Radio 1 General Electric 70 General Foooda. 3 General Motors' 68 Georgia Pac.

Casey. Lox 72L rert-lsad, Oregon, If the nations of the world conducted their international relations based on Rotary ideals this would be a better world. Rotary District Governor Milan D. Smith of Pendleton said in Salem Wednesday. "Rotary clubs in 83 countries throughout the world are united in an endeavor to promote international understand ing, good will and Smith said.

He spoke Tuesday night at a meeting with local. Rotary committee chairmen and again Wednesday noon at the group's weekly luncheon at the Marion Hotel. Smith said, "Rotary International has spent more than in recent years ion its program of student fellowships. This has enabled 394 college graduates in 48 countries to study one year in countries other than their own." Smith reviewed the activities of the past year of the local club and praised them as "outstanding." Smith also visited Dallas Rotary Club. Tuesday and will be in Woodburn today.

Smith is head of a food canning firm in Pendleton. Experiments Seek Clues to life. Growth By ALTON L. BLAKESLEB AP Science Reporter DENVER I New keys to that tantalizing miracle the crrowth of new life are being sought at the University of Colorado Medical School. life, whether human, bird or animal, starts with the fertilized egg of the mother.

This single cell becomes two, the two four, then eight. The newborn infant is billions upon billions of cells. Some become nerves, some muscle, some hair yet all of them started from one cell. Part of the mysterious miracle is what controls made these cells change or develop to. do these special jobs.

The knowledge could be helpful in understanding congenital defects due to inference with normal controls and in helping development of premature babies. The search for keys to these controls is being carried on in the laboratory of Chemical Embryology, headed by Dr. Heinz Herrmann. His team Is starting first with muscle cells, how and when they first appear In the embryo. Much is known already about the chemistry and structure of muscles once they have been formed.

Chicken embryos from one day of development on are used in the studies. At this early age, the tiny chicken embryo has little buds (limb buds) which wiH become muscle, cartilage and connective tissue. The cells Inside the -bud at first show no. detectable differences. Any one of the bud cells apparently can become either a muscle or bone or connective tissue cell.

Something happens to make some of the bud cells become muscles When they do mis. they lose their potential of becoming other types of cells. Dr. Herrmann trying to find the controls, chemical or otherwise, which make bud cells make their decision. Dozens of eggs are used weekly, seeking the sequence of events and trying to fix the time of this change.

The cells destined to become muscle cells can be transplanted to an egg membrane, and they will develop to a point even without nerve supply. Nerve supply is necessary to keep -the -muscle cells alive, as well as make them able to contract Possibly, the nerves may supply some foodstuffs to the muscle cells. Possibly, some of the controls over development are due to contact between cells. The position of cells within the embryo may be one of the controls over their future jobs. Some troubles of premature babies are due to being born before full development is completed.

This kind of research may help show what kind of care and treatment premature babies need in order to catch up with normal growth. The chicken embryos also are a tool for study of congenital defects. Various chemicals mainly the kind that interfere with the nor- mal build-up or formation of pro tein tissue are being tried on day-old embryos to learn what effects- they produce. During toe first days of devel opment, the chick embryo resem bles a tadpole. At the head are little bulges which will become the eyes and brain.

Below the head is a bulge on one side containing the embryonic heart, already pulsing with life. I The oblong body contains two rows of somites, little block-shap- ea ceils which will become bone and muscle. Nerve tubes run the two rows. The embryos can be transplant ed from the chicken egg onto ulates of nutrient "material, where they will grow for about a day more. Addition of some chemicals to the nutrient food changes normal development.

Some of the blocks or somites may join together, preventing normal division and segmentation of the body. Another chemical may the nerve tubes change to a zig-zag instead of straight shape. 777 AS3 ESLSf TESOSTT WASHINGTON The "Commu nications Commission was asked Wednesday to approve acquisition of positive control of radio station Salens, Ore to Glenn E. 1 Ss nt mam Grand Jury to Hear Cranf ill Vernon Ray CranfUL Washougal, one of three men allegedly involved in burglary of an Aums-ville service station Jan. was bound over to tne grand jury here Wednesday.

Giving Up Car's Right of Way May Avoid Accident Giving an onrushing driver the right-of-way, even though it legally yours, may save your ex pensive-car and even your neck.

Salem Exchange Club was remind ed Wednesday. James Banks of the State Traffic Safety Division pointed out that improved roads and vehicles could cut accidents by only small per centages, but that if all drivers were as good as the best, accidents would drop by 90 per cent. Accident reports show law viola tions by one or more drivers In 92 per cent of the mishaps in Oregon. At least one of every eight drivers in Oregon can expect to be in an accident each year, said Banks. Baldwin Gets Marine Corps Commission William T.

Baldwin, member of the Salem Marine Corps Reserve, has received a commission as second lieutenant, it was reported Tuesday. Baldwin formerly held the rank of staff sergeant. He has been a member of the local reserve unit since June 13, 1952. He was on active duty with the Marines from 1944 to 1947. He also spent one year on extended active duty in Korea when he was called up in August, 1950, with the Marine re serves.

Meanwhile. J. Harold Davis, Salem city engineer, reported the city generally free of further flood danger Wednesday.

He said his crews "were taking It easy" and that not even a city emergency water pump was working any where in the city. State Police reported the mam Corvallis-Albany highway was open. Is again wrestling with the prob Failure to Sign Up For Draft Brings Speedy Induction Young men, subject to be re? gistered. who have failed to do so. are leaving themselves open to Immediate induction, a bulletin from the State Headquarters of the -Selective Service System announced "Local boards throughout Ore gon are reporting the registration of one or more men who should have registered from two three months to as much as three years ago," CoL Francis W.

Mason, depu ty director, explained, i In Salem, Mrs. Edna L. WQhelm, chief cletrk of the local board, advised Wednesday evening that there was no record in her office of delinquency "although we wouldn't know until they arrived late to register, she said.

Those limits apply regardless of age.

Allowable medical expenses include doctor, dentist, hospital and nursing bills; drugs and surgical appliances; false teeth and eyeglasses; X-ray examinations or treatments; crutches, hearing aids and ambulance service; premiums on health, accident, medical or hospital insurance and cost of travel necessary to get medical care. However, you cannot deduct the cost of travel suggested by a doctor for rest or change, or. funeral expenses, or life insurance premiums. If you itemize your deductions on long-form 1040, you can take off your income any property losses by fire, -strom, flood, etc. Loss sustained in a car accident caused by faulty driving is deductible, but drunken driving is considered willful negligence, and no deduction Is allowed.

Insurance Modifies Loss No deduction may be claimed if the loss is compensated for by insurance. If partially covered by insurance, the amount of the deduction Is reduced accordingly. The law requires you to report as income any winnings you may have on the races, poker and other forms of gambling. But gambling losses may not be deducted in excess of gambling winnings. Alimony or separate maintenance payments made under a court decree may be deducted.

So may your union dues (as distinguished from gifts to unions) and amounts spent entertaining customers. Despite protests of many working mothers, the wages paid a nursemaid are not. deductible, even though her presence in the home enables the parent to work. If you keep securities in safe deposit, box, you can deduct the rental cost You cant, however, if it Is used only for jewelry, insurance policies and mementoes. Stock Market Down Again NEW YORK (J) A moderate decline marked the course of the stock market Wednesday with considerable selective strength apparent in scattered sections of the list.

Every major division was lower without any pronounced tendency toward weakness appearing. Individual strength was widely distributed, resulting for the most part from corporate developments. The Associated Press average of 63 stocks lost 29 cents (Tuesday it gained 4 cents) and closed S114.00L The industrial component lost 13 cents, the railroads lost 23 cents, and-the utilities lost 19 cents.

Services to be announced later by Clougb-Barrlck Co. fft (Fourth of six articles on how to mtkt out your Federal Income Tax return.) By FRANCIS J. KELLY AP Newsfeatore Writer WASHINGTON It may pay you to itemize your non-business deductions on your federal income tax return, instead of taking the standard 10 per cent allowance based on your income. A comparison of the tax computed under each system certainly Is in order if you paid out a lot of interest on a home mortgage, or incurred heavy medical or hospital bills. The government neither wants nor expects you to pay more than the minimum tax due, honestly figured.

You can itemize deductions only if you use long-form 1040. Otherwise you are automatically given a credit of about 10 per cent of your income. The principal allowable deductions are state and local taxes; interest paid; contributions to religious, charitable and educational orgonizations; property losses by storm or theft; and under strict limitations some medical, dental, hospital and, nursing expenses, Limits ea Contributions Contributions to religious, charitable and educational organizations are deductible only up to 20 per cent of your Income. You don't get anything off your tax bill for gifts to needy individuals, or to political organizations, or labor unions, or chambers Of commerce. -I You can deduct for real estate and personal property taxes, state income taxes, state or local sales taxes, state gasoline taxes, and automobile license fees.

But you cant take anything for federal income taxes paid, social security taxes, federal excise taxes such as those on liquor, furs, jewelry and phone calls, or for local taxes which tend to increase the value of real estate owned. A paving assessment is a case in point. The law sets tight limits on the amount of medical expenses for self and dependents that may be First, taxpayers under 69 can take off only that portion of such costs -which exceeds 5 per cent of their adjusted gross, income. However, if either you or your wife, is 65 or over may claim the entire amount of medical expenses for both of you, phis that portion of your medical expenses for your dependents which exceeds 5 per cent of your income. Medical Expense Limits There are maximum limitations on medical expense deductions, too.

A single person who claims only one exemption is entitled, to put in for not more than $L2S0; a married couple. nung a Joint Mild Weather f- Drops Grains CHICAGO Mild winter weather in the Midwest may be lovely to most people but it was beginning to irritate the bulls in feed grains Wednesday. Grain men reasoned the unusually high temperatures would reduce farm consumption of both corn and oats. As a result, those cereals sold off ion toe board of trade, causing some distress to the bulls. Wheat eased slightly while soybeans' held steady.
