5 Report .Of Study v'
i l have sheen, advised of this
staff study', as-.a; member, of the
committee.:" Thereport suggests
c rtain drastic changes m civilian
srience and technology programs.
I, recommends a ; change in the
jurisdiction -over these programs,
the report also found little or no
coordination -between government
agencies carrying on 'scierh ac
tivities. ,
"The primary recommendation
of this committee staff1. study is
fur the creation of a Department
of Science and Technology that
would group the major civilian
science agencies, of theV; United
. tates Government under a cabi-
nt officer. . It is suggested that
I ; fhis, new -department .would in
V elude such agencies as.the Na-
tinal Science Foundation, Srrtith
yqnian Institution, . National Bu
reau of Standards, Weather Bu
, reau, and the Patent Office. It
might include the Atomic Ener
gy Commission and "other inde-
pendent ' government ' : agencies
which do scientific work.
,' r Hearings Necescary
' 1': Our .'committee - will .have: to
-. hold heraings in the new session
which begins next month to see if
the recommendations and find
ings of the staff should be the
basis fof legislatipn on this mat
ter. Another feature of the study
which wul have to be carefully
studied', by , bur committee is
whether, or not to recommend the
creation of -an ' Academy of ; Sci-r
encer to 'help in -.the -shortage of
scientists. 'It would be patterned
after v-the military service' acade-
mies-vjth students "nominated by
an appointing board made up of
leading educatftrS and. scientists.
The-basis for appointment would
be aptitude tests .and scholastic
records.
. It is too early to predict what
the outcome of this study will be:
I am nevertheless glad that the
impatient and : Intolerant of .the
traditional safeguards of our lib
erties and seek a shortcut to their
goals. . That philosophy is clear
ly, "demonstrated' bytJieVuse of
Federal ; troops at jLJttle Rick.
The . usurpation of power always
Is wrong, even if the nsurpers be
UeVe they are doing good.

Frozen Semen Boosts
Artificial .Breeding
Starting this month, Tar Heel
dairymen using the state's artifi
cial breeding 'program' will find
frozen semerr:, available for the
first time.: :T; -C. Blalock, dairy
1 liit.nl T?n:Jv' c....: iu..i.
uawiwiuii gpi says UJtll
frozen semetiV' Represents the
"greatest single improvement" in
service since the program start
ed 10 years ago .
, Blalock says that frozensemen
offers many advantages over the
present System'. First "of all, ra
ther than receiving duily ship
ments of semen, the technician
will now meet a truck every two
weeks delivering semen and re
frigerant to him. This will elimi
nate shipment failures and delays
and enable the technician to give
better service.
The semen will be stored in a
specially - constructed container
that will fit in the trunk of the
technician's car. When, full, it
will hold enough semen to breed
over 500 cows. The temperature
of the semen inside the container
will be 320 degrees below zero.
Blalock says it isn't yet known
just how long, the semen can be
kept but it appears that it can be
held for at least a year with no
decline in fertility. In a test, se
men from : Cottonade Emmctt,
proved by David Cummings of
Guilford College and used in this
state's artificial .breeding pro
gram, is being used successfully
after four years. Emmett has
been dead over two years but is
still siring calves through froz
en semen!
Blalock says that results of ov
er 500,000 inseminations in other
areas have shown a definite in
crease in- conception, rate of 3 to
5 per cent" with frozen semen.
The reason is that with liquid se
men, there 13 " ,ialways a time
schedule to meet in order to get
packages shipped out. Now more
time can be taken to test the se
men for quality and freeze only
the best And even though it
may be several months old at the
time of use, the frozen semen is
still 'fresher than liquid semen
two days old because age is lock
ed in at time of freezing.

Chevrolet's radical new Turbo
Thrust V8 and honey-smooth
Turboglide automatic drive
form a performance team that
spells action. At all speeds,
under all driving conditions,
they give you the quickest,
smoothest response of any ,
thing going.
There's never been an engine-drive
combination like this one! Chevro
let's Turbo-Thrust V8 introduces
a radical new slant on engine effi
ciency. The combustion chambers .
"are located in the block rather than -in
the head, and chamber surfaces '
are precision machined. The result
is a wonderfully smooth and even v
flow of power.
Turboglide-the other half of the
team-is the first and only triple
turbine automatic drive in Chevy's
field. It takes you from a standstill
through cruising in one continuous
sweep of motion, without even a
hint of a shift or lag. Harness these
triple turbines to a 250-h.p. Turbo
Thrust V8-or the 280-h.p. Super
Turbo-Thrust and you step out
instandy in any speed range. Noth
ing else on the road turns your
touch into action so quickly, so
smoothly. Your Chevrolet dealer
has the combination!
