She asked them to disprove it by writing some editorials. There wasn't a word written about speed, sex or skirts. In- stead, the students offered some strong opinions on sub- jects ranging from wolves (it's a disgrace to kill them,) to LSD (it should never have been discovered) and the high cost of living (it isn't nearly as high as the cost of lazi- ness.) ABOLISH FUNERALS Christine Nendick 13, whose father is a funeral director, believes funerals should be abolished and burial replaced by cremation. "'Why waste miles and miles ,. of land in cemeteries?" she "wrote. "why tie up traffic with funeral processions? Why cause more emotional grief at family gatherings which fol- low funeral services?" Leonard D'Arrigo said the high cost of living is part of the price paid for laziness. LSD DISGRACE A meal equivalent to a TV dinner, which costs 90 cents, ean be made with ingredients that cost only 40, he said. "Tf people weren't so lazy their food bills would be lower." Willy Greenwood thought it disgraceful that people should even contemplate killing wolves. The howl of wolves heard around a campfire is "a great experience," so "why not just leave the wolves alone?" Wendy McKenzie thinks it's too bad LSD was ever discov- ered. If the psychedelic drug is used by young people, "many unnecessary deaths will occur and sorrow will fall upon many hearts," she wrote. Selective Use Of Mines By Egypt Possible In Gulf WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. experts say Egyptian mines in the narrow opening to the Gulf of Aqaba could be used selec- tively against Israeli ships while permitting routine pas- sage of other vessels. Officials who have studied the history and technique of naval blockades give that assessment amid a multitude of rumors here over whether Egypt has mined the Strait of Tiran, as claimed by a Cairo newspaper. U.S. officials said they don't know whether the strait has been mined. Egyptian diplomats privately expresse_ their doubts, but some Israeli diplo- mats claimed to have intclli- gence reports confirming partial Mining of the strait. Egyptian diplomats decline to PART OF NERVE WAR _ This, it is acknowledged, is part of the war of nerves: Let tactic was used by both Egyp- tians and Israelis several years cretly making nuclear weapons. Privately, Egyptian diplomats said they doubt mines were There is no need for them, they said, because it would be aeasy to control the narrow, 300- yard-wide navigable passage by deploying a few warships or with a few guns mounted on the plateau of Ras Nasrani, a hilly peninsula dominating the mouth of the strait. Experts say there are two ways of using mines to achieve a selective blockade. WOULD USE PILOTS One is to lay mines accord- ing to a predetermined pattern with only the country that placed them knowing the zigzag route through the minefield. The Same country then would pro- vide pilots to guide any vessel that received permission to pass through. Such a minefield could easily be deployed in the Red Sea at the mouth of the strait, but not in the narrow strait. The other method would be to use mines that can be set off electrically from some observa- tion point on the mainland. Egypt is understood to have placed artillery on Ras Nasrani when its troops moved in after the departure of the United Na- tions force earlier this week. They an be trained 'on the navigation lane about 1,000 placed in the strait. yards from the shore. In Leukemia ATLANTA, Ga. (AP)--Is ieu- kKemia contagious? A small, concrete blockhouse, located near Douglas, Ga., may help find the answer. Since 1957, the structure has been occupied at different times by three families: And three «persons, one from each of the 'families, have developed leu- kemia. Two of the persons, a seven- year-old boy and a 36-year-old woman, are dead. The third is confined in a hospital. ': The strange case, termed "the exception rather than the : rule" by doctors, is one of three being studied at the U.S. Com- municable Diseases Centre in Atlanta. The others occurred at : Prairie Village, Kan., and North Kansas City, Mo. "We're looking at it from a virus-research point of view," said Dr. Clark Heath, chief of the centre's leukemia section. "However, we are not saying leukemia is a virus. There are no laboratory tests to back it up. There are no lab tests to apply." Heath was asked whether the 'three "death house" cases now under study represent a new discovery in leukemia research. MAY BE CHANCE "There have been scattered reports on this kind of thing be- fore," he said. 'Certainly there Families In Blockhouse Experiment is such a thing as case clusters in communities. But we don't know if it's due to chance or something else. There has been no definite link between the cases." In the Georgia case, the seven-year-old boy was first be struck down. In 1958, some 13 months after the family had left the small home near Doug- las, he was found to have acute lymphocytic leukemia. The woman's family occupied the dwelling next, only a few + age after the boy's family left. In 1963, after living in the house for six years, the 36-year- old woman developed the dis- ease. It, too, was diagnosed as acute lymphocytic leukemia. The current case involves a five-year-old boy. His family Ld occupied the house since 4, ary o Only two families are affected in the Kansas and Missouri re- ports. The Kansas case in- volves a 15-year-old girl and a 41-year-old man, the Missouri case an 18-year-old boy and a 28-year-old woman. "So far, we're still chalking up these cases to chance," Heath reported. 'However, we are not ruling out anything--in- cluding a virus." Some officials have indicated virus research may prove im- portant in developing a cure for the disease. Body Odor May Kill You -,. DI AN, South Vietnam (AP) The perils of body odor are nor- mally associated with the social scene but in the Vietnam war a man can get killed if he sweats -too much. His nemesis could be an ex- perimental American device nicknamed the "people sniffer." It picks up the odors of men digging foxholes under a thick ; jungle canopy, or camping be- side a river, and shows the in- tensity of the smell on a meter. A skilled operator, flying above in a helicopter, can see at a glance the area of a troop concentration and bring air and artillery fire to bear on invis- ible targets. U.S. field commanders hope that the "people sniffer' may help to roll back the Viet Cong's jungle cover. The device is the latest in a line of technological gadgetry that has taken on bizarre over- tones, even to the extent of at- tempting to use hungry bed bugs to detect a hidden enemy. U.S. Army chemical-war spe- clalists, dealing with the smell- Soldiers In Vietnam Find ing device, have reported the experiments a success so far. "There is no question about it now--it works," says Lt.-Col. Alvin Hylton, 1st Division chem- ical officer. Known as an '"E-63 manpack personnel detector." The device failed on the ground, mainly because of its bulk and the sensitive nature of the probe that could pick up 405 different smells. Unless the lead man in a unit carried it, and upwind at that, the device would be recording his own unit's odors. Someone hit upon the idea of attaching it to a helicopter and flying over the jungle at tree- top level, eliminating competing odors. Experiments showed that at speeds of 100 miles an hour the probe could easily detect the presence of ammonia and car- bon in the air. Ammonia floats in clouds above any group. of men, par- ticularly in South Vietnam's nor- mally humid 90-100 degree heat.
