We propose to measure the production spectrum and polarization of the cascade 0 and anti-lambda 0 hyperons in the M2 beam line using the E-8 spectrometer. The discovery by E-8 that 300 GeV protons produce lambdas which are strongly polarized, < PΛ> = .15 + .01 for lambdas with PT >.8 GeV/c, motivates us to investigate the polarization of other accessible neutral hyperons. If polarization is found, the magnetic moment of the cascade 0 and anti-lambda 0, previously unmeasured, will be determined. We request 400 hours in the M2 diffracted proton beam with 4 x 108 protons/pulse at 400 GeV/c steered at up to 10 mrad onto the production target. There are no major changes necessary in the E-8 spectrometer or M2 beam line for this experiment.
