Dwight Griswold, head of the American aid
mission, to try to straighten things out.
Just what happened is not disclosed, be-
cause the matter had to be tactfully han
died But 1t is not hard to understand
the effect of polite intimations that further
American aid to Greece is contingent upon
the Greeks ability to run their own show
with some degree of stability and efficiency.
At any rate, both Mr.. Tsaldaris and Mr..
Sophoulis have climbed down from their
high horses enough to draft an arrange
ment under which the latter has become
Premier and the former Vice Premier and
Foreign Affairs Minister.
The ultimate success of this experiment
in cabinet-making may depend upon the
degree in which the center groups can be
brought into line. Assuming that the new
Liberal-Populist combination will hold
together, the leaders of the minor parties
may be expected to Jump on the band
wagon for patronage reasons, if for moth
ing else. If this occurs, Greece will at
length have a broad-based government
that can stick.

Life Here and in Russia

To the Editor OF The Sta1:
A recent Star editorial, THE Root Issue" )"
has been on my mind for long time I also
noted a letter called yourselves at Fault" by
Peter J. Kumpa which after saying Ger
tainly the Soviet system allows no individual
freedom and differs from our American way
as night from day." ends up with Lets stop
preaching and get down to practical matters"
Well as far as I can see, practical matters
would take care of themselves If people q
mean true Americans) really understood how
important a thing it is to preserve the rights
of the individual We are not ants or bees,
which work as unit; We are individuals, and
simply have to grow and make mistakes as
individuals. That is what makes our way OF
life 1t is also the true teaching of Christ, and
what really makes us Christians, If We are.
Now, Just talking to ordinary people like
myself find that whole lot of them don't
take this matter seriously at all. They don't
even think about it. And II they did they are
all mixed up with lot Of big words which
mean one thing to the person who writes them
and another to the one who reads them.
I am wondering If it wouldn't be good
idea for you to get some one to do this. or else
have a series of authors, and just contrast
life in our country and in Russia I mean
simple thing, like saying what you want TO-
wearing what you want to, reading what you
want to, and going where you want to. Maybe
by showing it up like that on blackboard, in
ABC style, it would make people think.

When Shall Giving End?'


Where is America going? Germany. Italy

We rushed into their war and virtually financed
it, We poured into it a third of a trillion

Germany forced that nation to shift to our side.

American people for at least century to come.
Our national debt is double the assessed valu-
alton of all property in the United States.

We Know Where They Stand

Though altogether discouraging, Andrei
Gromykos letter to Sir Alexander Cadogan
at least has the virtue of confirming that
it is futile to try to persuade Russia at
this stage to agree to an effective system
Of international atomic control What Mr.
Gromyko has made unmistakably clear is
that his country simply refuses to
cooperate with the overwhelming major
ity to safeguard mankind from the terrible
dangers of nuclear ornaments race.
AS Britain's delegate to the United
Nations Atomic Energy Commission, Sir
Alexander grew tired some weeks ago of
Mr.. Gromyko's double talk and asked
series of questions designed to smoke out
clearer definition of Russia's position.
Mr.. Gromyko's reply. though far from
being a model of forthrightness, gives the
definition. Before anything else is done
the men of the Kremlin want treaty to
outlaw A-weapons and presumably to
destroy all existing stocks Then, after
thus achieving the unilateral disarma-
ment of the United States-which is the
only country with such weapons now-the
Stain government would be willing to
negotiate another treaty for a policing
system to guard against the atoms misuse.
The treaty, however, would be toothless
1t would permit only limited inspection
and it would limp along with the Security
Council veto-an arrangement that would
make it impossible to guarantee the swift
and sure punishment of violatorS.
Mr.. Gromyko has argued at length for
this kind of control in the past, but
never quite so explicitly as in his letter
to Sir Alexander. No one can have any
doubt now about where Russia stands.
1t stands dametrically opposed to the
American plan for a powerful world
authority armed with an inspection sys-
tenn and punitive machinery unhampered
by the veto. This p1an-which would have
to be in operation before the United States
would give up its present advantage in
A-Weapons-has the backing of all the
members OF the 12-nation atomic COM
mission except the Soviet Union and
satellite Poland. The Soviet Union insists
on a wholly inadequate alternative which
as it must certainly know-would never
be accepted by us or the overwhelming
majority agreeing with us. In effect, it
adheres to a policy negating the idea of
effective control and thus encouraging
nuclear ornaments race.
Now that Mr.. Gromyko has made all
this clearer than ever, some pertinent
questions suggest themselves. Is it worth
while for the majority to keep on trying
for an unanimous agreement? Can the rest
of the world be safe if Russia succeeds IN
delaying control indefinitely? Should the
agreeing nations do nothing about the
problem merely because the Kremlin
wants nothing done? Or should they
attempt to work out system of their own
aimed at creating limited security for
themselves through a balance of power
assuring them atomic superiority over the
Soviet Union and its satellites7 Perhaps

Dilemma of the Railroads

The potential effects on the national
economy Of the railway rate hearings
which begin tomorrow before the Inter
state Commerce Commission are likely to
be very far-reaching The commission is
faced, on the one hand, with pleas of dire
distress from railroad spokesmen-at least
one of whom foresees naturalization of
the roads unless substantial relief is forth
coming-and it is confronted, on the other
hand, with the prospect of serious infla-
tionary trends If freight costs 60 higher
The reaction of the railroads to the
series of rising operational costs is not
of course, unexpected. They already had
given the commission a dark picture of
the rail transportation outlook in petit
tioning for 1877 per cent freight rate
boost more than two months ago. The
picture, according to the rail representa-
tives, is one of roads seesawing on the line
between profits and losses. with such out
standing railroads as the Pennsylvania
reporting a net loss last year and still
operating in the red.
On top of this financial crisis as depicted
last July have come wage and material
cost increases which will add more than
halt billion dollars to the debit side of
the ledger next year. The latest of these
cost factors was the 1872 cent hourly
wage raise granted million incorporating
employees last week. The roads assert that
increases in wages, payroll taxes and prices
of materials since 1899 have amounted to
three billion dollars a year.
President Ernest E. Norris of the South
ern Railway describes the railroads in
general as being 'fat broke" Unless some
way of increasing revenues Is found, he
says, the Government will face the neces-
SHY of taking over the rail lines to prevent
an economic collapse. The roads now seek
an immediate 10 per cent freight rate
hike. pending hearings on an amended
petition for 27 per cent increase Gnclud-
ing the 1877 per cent requested in JULY.
Whether the situation Is really as bleak
as Mr.. Norris and other spokesmen for
the carriers think 1t is will be the task of
the commission to determine. The rail-
roads have got to have operating revenues,
and the I. c. .Cs responsibility is to see
that the rate structure will produce it.

Cabinet ReshuffIe in Greece

Although Greek cabinet building, like
railroad timetable, is subject to change
without notice." the odds would seem to
be in favor of a workable compromise be-
tween Populists and Liberals. Such
compromise, broadening the government
In keeping with the aim of American
diplomacy and the hope of the Greek
people themselves, has now been inaug
urated with the swearing in of Premier
Sophoulis and his new regime,
The political snarl that has tied up
everything since the fall of the coalition
cabinet headed by the venerable figure
head, Demetrios Maximos, fortnight ago
prec1pltated a situation that was as in
tolerable as 1t was ridiculous. The impasse
vas intensified by the personal rancor be-
tween Constantine Tsaldaris, head of the
populists, and the 87-year- -old Mr..
Sophoulis. leader of the orthodox
Liberals. Mr. Sophoulis had demanded the
premiership and most of its perquisites,
although his group musters only 40 seats
in Parliament, whereas the PopulistS have
141. Nevertheless, the Populists possess
only a plurality as the most numerous
group in a Parliament of 354 members.
Hitherto, they had been able to carry on
through an alliance with the small splinter
parties of the center, plus the group of
right-wing Nationalists headed by General
Napoleon Zervas. But Zervas' ineptitude
as Minister of Public Order had done more
than anything else to ALLEVIATE the center
groups and thus dissolve the alliance.
Hence, the Populists were constrained to

Stars, Men and Atoms
Broader Concept Of Atom
Is Advanced by Persian
Theory of Physicist Held Extension
Of Einstein's Relatively
By Thomas r. Henry

The atom is as big as creation. .
Every one of the enthusiastically minute
particles that compose matter Is an energy
system which reaches to the uttermost limits
of space and time beyond the farthest galayies
This fantastic picture. latest mathematical
development of relatively. is given in a report
just published by the National Academy of
Sciences here of the researches of Persian
physicist now at Princeton Dr. NJ Hessabv
OF the University of Teheran.
DR.. Hessaby's mathematics Of continuous
particles" going beyond Dr. Einstein and his
followers, necessarily Is extremely compli-
Gated. Since the atomic bomb the Idea that
all the basic particles of matter-eectron
proton and neutron-are bundles of electrical
energy has become fairly familiar The new
concept makes the particles themselves merely
the points of greatest concentration of energy
systems each of which has as its field the whole
universe.
The infinitely extended particle, such as a
neutron, becomes necessarily extremely tenuous
outside the immediate vicinity of the concen-
tration point Of its energy and DR.. Hessaby
resorts to such fractions an octrilionth Of
an octrillionth figure represented by one
followed by fifty-seven zeros
Publication by the National Academy the
Senate Of American science, is in itself notice
that the Persian doctors thesis Is worthy of
consideration in theoretical physics.
1t leads, he explains, to an understanding OF
the paradoxical subatomic force which binds
particles together In the spaceess nuclei of
atoms since it shows the possibility of an
attraction between two positive charges In q
certain distance range and also to the possi-
bility of an attraction between a positive
charge, the proton, and an unchanged mass.
the neutron.
"The particle" Dr. Hessaby says, interpret
ing his own mathematical equations, appears
to be a continuous distribution OF energy
through space. The field of an unchanged
particle yields a definite density of energy at
every point In space, the integral of the
energy over the whole of space being equal to
the mass Of the particle An expression is
deduced for the electrostatic energy OF an
electron giving charge and energy densities
which are finite at every point In space,
integrals over the whole Of space being equal
to the charge and mass Of ths eectron"
According to this concept, everything exists
inside of everything else 1t Is common
picture Of gravity that the minutest grain of
sand on beach has theoretically some attrac-
ton for the farthest star and vice versa The
new thesis replaces the gravitational field with
the distribution of the energy which is the
substance Of the basic particle itself.

No Time for Much Deluy

Under some governmental authority
with the power to act, to cross political
boundary lines, to condemn private prop
erty and to spend money, the Potomac
River Basin could be cleaned up in short
order.
It's waters could be rid of disgraceful
pollution from sewage and industrial
waste. The flow of its streams could be
regulated by dams and storage reservoirs.
The erosion of It's soil could be prevented.
The damage from floods could be elimi-
mated.
But there is no such authority. And the
disposition is to oppose it's creation. There
are four States, many counties, cities and
towns in the Potomac Valley jealous of
their own prerogatives. There are tax
payers unwilling to foot the bills. There
are the owners of industrial plants and
farm lands and forests resentful of any
threat by Government to change the prac-
tices and privileges of generations. And
as yet the Federal Government has with
held any financial encouragement
So the work of cleaning up the Potomac
River Basin is proceeding, very slowly, by
another approach. The Interstate Com
mission on the Potomac River Basin was
formed before the war by compacts
between the States of Maryland, Virginia,
West Virginia and Pennsylvania, the Dis
trict of Columbia and the Federal Govern
ment. It's authority is confined to planning
to education, to assembly of data on the
losses through water pollution and soil
erosion and flood damage and the cost
of their elimination. It's members act in
an advisory capacity to the governments
concerned, attempt to coordinate anti
pollution legislation and spread the gospel
as best they can.
Last week this body met in Staunton,
Va Speakers described the extent of
pollution, the increasing dangers of soil
erosion and loss of land fertility. The
Districts Doctor Daniel L. Seckinger,
urging greater research in the valley into
the loss of nutritional values in the soil,
warned that The life of our people and
the welfare of our Nation are in jeopardy"
During floods" another speaker said,
farm after farm may be seen passing
down the Potomac River Speakers from
West Virginia spoke of the futility of
pollution abatement from one side of the
river only, while waste is dumped from
the other side.
Some progress is being made. There has
been formal recognition of the need for
action. But progress is fearfully slow. Peo-
pie are only beginning to realize that our
future is largely staked on the preservation
of the soil, the forests, the purity and the
abundance of the streams. 1t will be we'll if,
in the $4,000 square-mile area of the Poto-
mac River Basin, its people can work to-
gether by agreement for these things
There are indications that the people of
the Missouri River Valley, far larger
area, can be won over to a comprehensive
plan by cooperation and voluntary
agreement. But 1t Is question how long
we can wait before we really begin the
systematic treatment of the Potomac
Basin. Voluntary cooperation and agree
n1ents should have the fairest of trials
But continued lack of real progress can
lead only to the more drastic step of
establishing an agency with the power
to act.
