Double Suicide

GLASSBORO. N.J.-Two high school students suffocated themselves "in the name of peace" after attending a Moratorium rally, leaving two dozen suicide notes.

Craig Badali, and his girlfriend. Joan Fox. both 17. wrote to their parents, school officials, and classmates, hoping people would learn from them. The suicides recalled the Buddhist monks' demonstrations in Vietnam, where many monks poured gasoline over themselves and set it afire.

Badiali's brother, Bernard, said that his brother had been distressed by the rally and had termed it "a lark."

Local Nobel

STOCKHOLM-An M.I.T. scientist, Salvador E. Luria. was one of three men to receive the Nobel Prize for physiology and medicine this year.

Also sharing the $75,000 prize were Max Delbruck. of the California Institute of Technology, and Alfred D. Hershey, of the Carnegie Institute of Washington. D.C.

The Faculty of the Caoline Institute in Stockholm cited the three men for their discoveries which give deeper insight into the nature of viruses and virus diseases and provide understanding of the mechanism of inheritance and the mechanism that control the development, growth, and functions of the tissues and organs.

IQ

HANOVER. N.H.-"Jensenism" received an indirect boost from the New Hampshire Civil Liberties Union when it defended the right of a physics professor to present a paper supporting the theory of racial differences in IQ.

William B. Shockley. Nobel Prize winner in physics from Stanford University, was prevented from speaking at Dartmouth College when 25 students applauded so loudly he could not be heard. Although Shockley specializes in semi-conductors and invented the junction transistor, his paper dealt with the hereditary factors in intelligence, and was called "Offset Analysis of Racial Differences."

Happy Birthday

WASHINGTON-The House Armed Services Committee unanimously passed yesterday President Nixon's draft plan for a lottery of 19-year-olds.

It took "the strong recommendation of the President" to convince a subcommittee investigating the plan of its merit, said Rep. F. Edward Hebert (D.-La.).

Herbert's committee had originally been critical of the proposal, but in unanimously recommending it to the Armed Services Committee, he said that the "request of the Commander-in-Chief of our armed forces should be honored."

Under the lottery system, 18-year-olds will have advance notice of their chances of being taken to war once they turn 19. In September a-list-would be drawn up of priority birthdays, men being on the day of highest priority having the most chance of being drafted in January.

Men with student deferments would enter the draft pool when their deferments ended. They would then be treated as 19-year-olds.

The chances for House passage of the bill seemed increased by the quick passage in committee. The Senate Armed Services Chairman, John C. Stennis (D.-Miss.) said that his committee would possibly take up the issue before the end of the year if the House passes it.
