Scientists Find ‘Fountains 0f Youth’

(Ily Alton L. Blakeslee)

sr. more. Oct. ‘5—(AP)--80me strange “fountains of youth" dis- covered here give promising new clues toward explaining some my- steries of aging and of cancer. A orlef dip in one of these fountains boosts the life-span or some tiny water animals by more than so per cent. This and other ways of increas- ing the animals’ life-spans were found by Dru-Albert‘ I. Lansing and co-workers of Washington Uxiversity Medical School. Their findings indicate that calcium plays a vital role both in growing old and in the growth of disease. Dr. Lansing is working with ro- titers, little animals equipped with "oars" that move like s wheel ‘through water. They are so tiny that 1,000 side by side would form

ilvezl days. have tiny brains, hearts and ovaries, and are per- fetly suited for studies of growth sndgsglng.

“Retifers put in water contain- ing little calcium lived so. pd- cent longer, he found. Even 1r ‘they liqedih dnwater with normal amounts oi calcium, their iifespa

.The Synod of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, which will hold its opening meeting in St. James’ Presbyterian Church, here this eve- nlng, at eight‘ o'clock, is one of the oldest ecoluissticel organiza- tions in Canada, datigg back to 1817, when in that year it was formed at Truro by the union of the Burgher Presbytery of ‘Iruro, and the Anti-Burgher Presbytery of Pictou.

The first named of these courts hsd been formed in 1780. and sec- ‘ond in 1785. Somewhat refined and intricate theological differen- ces of opinion, mainly touching the attitude which the church should assume toward the state, kept the ‘two Presbyteries apart until 1817, when they were happily united, each party making some conces- sions to the other.

130th. Meeting

The coming meeting of the synod is therefore the 130th, and that feature alone carries considerable significance. Of course Scotland, and the Scottish Church_ supplies the background for the present Presbyterian Synod. It was not, however, from the official Church of Scotland that the Synod hsd its rise. It was from the Secession branch of that notable and ancient ecclesiastical institution that the Synod sprahg.

This branch of the parent premature-toe

distant lands. such as Nova Sco- tis and Prince EEdward Island. Hence itlwaa the so-cailed Seces- sion church, which had broken from the parent stem in 1733, that was responsible for the founding of

Will Fight , Marshall Plan

By ‘Iihomas P. Whitney

Communist international organizat- ion was announced today to fight the Marrihall plan and "United States imperialism."

Communist leaders of nine count- riea formed the organization. It is the first such grouping to which the Russians have lent support since they declared the Comintern dead in 1943. .

It is aimed at uniting the chief Communist strength in Europe.

Pravda, the official Communist newspaper here. as well as Com- munist organs in other European capitals, said Communist leaders from the n-l-ne countries met "somewhere in Poland" last month, appraised the world as split into Russian and American orbits, and ordered an "information bureau" set up to co-ordluere activities. The nine" countries whose Com- munists foregat-hered were Russia, France, Italy, Czechoslovakia, Pol- and. Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslav- ia smd Hungary.

Russia sent two of its Politburo leaders, and it can be taken for granted that their report to the conference was the principal basis for s. "statement" announced to- day.

In effect. the communists served notice of their intention to wreck, "if pose lble" the Marshal plan for European aid as well as the Tru- man. doctrine on totalitarianism, and any form of wthat they called United States imperialism.

It placed in the latter category sunh European leaders as Prl-me Minist- er Leon Blulm of France amd Dr. Kurt Schumacher, leader of the Social Democratic Party in Ger- many.
