Motherless Frogs. Five years ago Physiologist Gregory Goodwin Pincus of Clark University produced fatherless rabbits by removing ova from virgin females, fertilizing the ova with a salt solution, replanting the fertilized eggs in other females to gestate (TIME, April 6, 1936). Last week Dr. Keith Roberts Porter of the Rockefeller Institute announced that he had produced a greater wonder: motherless tadpoles.

Three weeks ago his sensitive neb caught the scent of convoys. Quick...

At a fork in the road a sentry stopped them and signaled the drivers to turn off onto a small side road. The drivers told the sentry who were in the cars-two generals and their staffs. The sentry said he was sorry, but the main road ahead was being prepared for demolition in connection with withdrawal operations...
