Says Biochemists On Verge Os Code HOUSTON <UPI) — Nobel prize winner Dr. Francis H, C. Crick said today biochemists are on the verge of determining most of the "code words" controlling heredity and the basic chemicals these codes produce in living cells. Crick was one of a group of Nobel prize winners who are main speakers in a biochemistry conference. The genetic "code" is contained in the chemical deoxyribonucleic acid—DNA for short. The chemical is made of many combinations of chemicals and each "code word" in genetic action is a combination of the units on the DNA chain. Each "word" causes a cell to produce an amino acid and the amino acids make up most of the building blocks of the body. Another prize winner who spoke Monday said it has been discovered that viruses can reproduce their disease - causing elements outside a living cell. Dr. Severo Ochoa, head of the New York University Department of Biochemistry, said that previously virus reproduction was thought possible only in a living cell. Ochoa said there is no immediate medical use for the information, but It "may be of practical significance for abetted understanding and control of viral diseases." He said it will increase knowledge of the relationshlo between cancer and viruses "by helping scientists to grasp the mechanisms by which certain viruses can convert normal cells into cancer cells."

U.S. Officer Is Killed By Red Guerrillas SAIGON, ■ South Viet Nam (UPI) —A U.S. Army Special Forces soldier was killed and another wounded today in a clash with Communist Viet Cong guerrillas 15 miles east of Saigon, an American military spokesman said. The spokesman said four Vietnamese government "S tri k e Force" troops also were killed and six wounded in the clash. Communist losses. if any, we e not reported. The death of the "Special Forces soldier brought to 225 number of Americans killed

in action since the buildup of ILS, aid began in January, 1961 Another 97 have been killed in-non-combat Incidents, bringing the overall American death toll in Viet Nam to 322. The latest Communist clash bore the appearance of an ambush. but the spokesman did hot refer to il as such. He said a patrol of Americantrained and led "Strike Force” troops engaged a Viet Cong unit of undetermined strength in Bien Hoa province 15 miles east of Saigon. The action took place in a swampy section of National Highway 15 at 10:30 a.m. The wounded American was treated for an arm wound and returned to duty, the spokesman said. Earlier, Typhoon Kate fizzled in the mountains of South Viet Nam Tlie death toll from two early typhoons climbed to more than 7.000. In reporting the number of dead from typhoons Iris and Joan, the official South Vietnamese press agency said 54,000 homes were destroyed and that 700.000 persons were without shelter. It said up to 70 per cent of the livestock in the hardest hit areas were killed and most of the crops destroyed. Typhoon Kate, which had posed a major threat to the storm - battered countryside when it boiled up in the South China Sea, pelted coastal provinces . with torrential rain. It then moved inland and blew itself out. Communist North Viet Nam appeared to be taking political advantage of thousands of homeless and hungry peasants in the hinterlands with a promise of relief supplies. The North Vietnamese news agency, in a dispatch heard in Tokovo. reported that President Ho Chi Minh offered rice, clothing and medicine for the victims of three typhoons which have raked South Viet Nam in the past two weeks.

More Ranger Probes Onto Moon Planned

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. (UPb-g The United States will take al double-barrelled shot at the! bumpy stomach of earth's sur-H prlsingly lively moon next Feb-j---ruary and March. ; But the cloudy veil of Venus and the windblown "canals" of brother planet Mars are mysterios the U.S. government seems reluctant to tackle, despite renewed pleas by a group of top level scientists. Ewen Whitaker, lunar research associate at the- Univer-, sity of Arizona, said Monday Home, School Assn. Meets This Evening The home and school association of the Decatur Catholic schools will meet in the sch<x>l auditorium this evening at approximately 8 o’clock, immediately following Forty Hours devotion. Harold E. Gray, Jr., president of the association, urges all parents and friends of students to attend this second meeting of the year. The Rev.

I hat the eighth and ninth Rang_>r payloads would be launched in February and March to try to get nearly 10,000 more close:up pictures of the moon. The ; probes are identical to the • camera-carrying Ranger-7 that snapped 4,316 spectacular photos of the lunar surface last July. He spoke to the Third International Symposium on Bioastronautics, a group of space experts. Whitaker said Ranger program scientists will meet Thursday at Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., to begin selecting a lunar target area for Ranger-8. He conceded the issue will •create “quite a bit of hassling.” But he added that "I am pretty sure we need to land in another Maria’’—as scientists call the rolling lunar plains considered the most likely landing spots for U.S. a'tronauts around 1970. If Ranger-8 is successful, Whitaker said, he is "quite sure" the ninth probe will be aimed at the moon's jagged mountains. Scientists, including Whitaker, appear increasingly certain the moon may not be the 100 per cent dead ball of rock it is supposed to be. Simultaneously the space sci-

ence board of the National Academy of Science issued a call in Washington for a top priority program to send unmanned probes to Mara during
