NAMES & FACES

The widow of Nobel Prize-winning geneticist Hermann J. Muller says she is upset a California businessman named a sperm bank after her husband. Thea Muller said yesterday in Bloomington, Ind., she had denied use of her husband's name for the project - the Hermann J. Muller Repository for Germinal Choice - which matches genes of Nobel Prize-winning scientists with bright women. Robert K. Graham of Escondido, Calif., who established the sperm bank, has said Muller gave him the idea for it. Graham could not immediately be reached for comment on Mrs. Muller's protest. Mrs. Muller said her husband, an Indiana University geneticist from 1945 until his death in 1967 and a 1946 Nobel winner for discoveries of the effect of radiation on genes, withdrew his support for the sperm bank proposal before he died at age 76.
