Footes Present Results From Gland Research
Dr Charles L Foote and Dr Florence M Foote reported at the American Society of Zoologists in New York that the pituitary gland influences thyroid development in hamster embryos before birth. Using 141 decapitated embryos they observed no major size or cell differences, noting potential blood supply disruption but intact blood vessels and mitotic activity.

Speed Limits Ineffective
A Champaign Illinois study by Dc C Wiley and two graduate students argues that removing posted speed limits would hardly change traffic. They observed cars on two main highways ignoring signs and driving at natural speeds as limits varied from 20 to 35 miles per hour or none at all.

Embryonic Origin of Thyroid Development Shown
Scientists report a marked difference in thyroid volume between decapitated and normal fetuses, noting reduced interfollicular cell masses. They conclude that thyroid development is embryonic in origin, not maternal, since thyroid growth falters when the pituitary gland is removed.
Traffic expert questions speed limits and water supply facts
The expert argues speed limits are ineffective if too low and proposes higher limits with tolerance for conditions. He suggests removing overly strict signs could speed traffic and save costs. He notes Parker Dam in Arizona provides about a sixth of Los Angeles' daily water supply.
