their ire when the more important word in
the Declaration of Independence is created
I'VE hold these truths to be self evident, that
all men are created equal" Creation is the
beginning and mans beginning is that moment
when two cells unite and are divinely sparked
with life. Science would defy any one to tell
the difference between the cells that will be-
come a prince and those that will become .
pauper. II those that take issue with the
Declaration are thinking Of all the bells in
kingdom ringing for the birth of a prince as
against the despair felt because of a new mouth
to feed IN the hovel, they would do well to
remember that birth is nine months after
creation.
The divine spark in Thomas Jeffersons soul
must have been famed to a full burning fame
when he uttered those famous words. 1t gave
him light to see through rags, riches, and race
the divine spark in every other soul.

Gilbert, Sullivan and curte

The world knows Gilbert and Sullivan
for their light operas, but 1t is not 30
well acquainted with the name of the
two business managers who were respon-
sible for the commercial success of those
Rupert Doyly Carte-died in London
on Sunday, aged seventy-or1e. He had
been in control of all the authentic Gill
bert and Sullivan properties for thirty
five years. Before him his mother had
been in charge. Both carried on the
traditions established by his father, Richard
D'Oyly Carte, who died in 1901.
And much Of the attraction OF the
Gilbert and Sullivan hbrettos and scores
definitely was the result Of the personal
qualities of the author and the composer.
When Carte Senior brought them together
in 1871, they already were famous in
their respective fields. Gilbert had writ
ten his immortal "Bab Ballads; Sullivan
had achieved durable reputation for his
Tempest" music and several oratorios and
soon was to clinch his fame with the
great religious marching song, Onward,
Christian Soldiers" Their first co-opera-
tive undertaking was a burlesque called
"Thespis." Next came Trial by Jury" in
1875, followed by H. M. S. Pinafore,"
1878; 1.-The Pirates of Penzance," 1879;
Patience" 1881; "Iolanthe," 1882, and
1.-THE Mikado," 1885. Richard Carte was
the impresario in each instance In
many others. The task, 1t soon developed,
was a diff1cult one. Gilbert was an ideal
master of metre" and dealer in quips
and paradoxes and ludicrous dilemmas,"
but he was not an easy or comfortable
collaboration. Sullivan, "broad-minded and
free from all affectation, intensely admired
and loved in all circles of society,"" was
painfully handicapped of body and oc-
casiona1ly troubled OF spirit mutual
friend was needed, and Carte Senior was
that friend.
Yet even he could not be successful
always. The Gilbert and Sullivan
team earned tremendous profits and those
profits in turn were invested in hotels
and other enterprises which were profit-
able In spite of this, however, there
were disagreements about money. A Ger
tain piece of red carpet is supposed to
have been the innocent cause Of bitter
quarrel about 1889, and the librettist and
the composer were estranged for while
They were persuaded to let bygones be
bygones in 1893 and brought out Utopia
Limited" and "The Grand Duke" Then
Sullivan died in 1900. Gilbert lived, still
writing, untf 1911, when he lost his life
trying to save some children from
drowning.
The preservation of the net accomp-
lishment of the group as group was
Rupert Carte's responsibility. He met the
requirements of his assignment with
distinction.

Checking on Scientists

n IltGIS LSIlG HAS DteIl leu lIlIu tIle IluIky
debate on what might be termed the
scientists VS.. the loyalty check.
The Oak Ridge Association of Engineers
and Scientists recently ventured the esti-
mate that 40 per cent Of the senior SCI
entists at an Oak Ridge atomic laboratory
they would be "smeared" in the course OF
loyalty Investigations.
1t looks as though the Association was
rather wide Of the mark. In this, as in
similar instances, exact information Is not
available. But the executive director of
the Oak Ridge Laboratory says that he
has checked his records and has found that
of normal employment of 500 technical
personnel there has been a net loss of
about fifteen persons in the past year.
Apparently the Associations estimate was
considerably less than accurate.
The latest scientific blast at the loyalty
program looks equally suspect.
According to committee of the Amer
ican Federation of Scientists, the organiza-
ton has polled its membership and has
concluded that f1fty-six scientists have
been victims of "allegedly unfair clearance
procedures" involving their loyalty.
Evidently these complaints go back to
the time of the war. No names are given.
1t is not clear what agencies of the Gov
ernment we're involved. The committee
published the "details" of eight selected
cases, but it did not identify the individ-
uals involved and conceded that 1t had
not established the accuracy of the alleged
facts.
This sort of thing is not worth much.
If scientists are being prosecuted, or If they
are being unfairly treated In the course OF
loyalty investigations, the supporting facts
should be brought forward. But nothing
constructive is accomplished by unsup-
ported attacks on the loyalty program.
Whether some scientists like it or not
it Is necessary to establish the loyalty of
persons whose work bears on the security
of the country Scientists are not entitled
to any special immunity. They should be
checked just as other categories OF en-
ployes are checked, and If their work lies
in sensitive areas it may be necessary to
resolve doubts against them.
Aware Of this, the Atomic Energy Com
mission has taken pains to guard against
abuses and injustices in individual cases.
It's loyalty check procedures were worked
out by committee of eminent men headed
by former Supreme Court Justice Roberts
A spokesman for the Federation has indi-
Gated that he is satisfied with the fairness
of these procedures. If that is the case, it
ton to be more specific. It ought not to
deal in antiquities, for the effect Of that
is to smear" the loyalty program. If 1t
is going to attack the program 1t ought
to give the names OF the individuals alleged

ItuIiun Colonies Fiusco

No informed person expected anything
constructive to come out of the Big Four
conference, convened at Russia's insist
ence on short notice, to take up the COM
plex issue of the former Italian colonies.
And most persons anticipated that the
Kremlin was acting from ulterior motives.
But the show which Soviet Delegate
Vishinsky put on at Paris surpasses any
thing previously staged by Moscow diplo-
macy-which is saying d great deal.
Moscows demand for this conference
came like bolt out of the blue and literally
at the eleventh hour. After blocking every
reasonable proposal for settlement of the
Italian colonies issue for three years,
Moscow insisted on a meeting just ahead
of the deadline fixed in the Italian peace
treaty, whereby the matter would go
before the General Assembly of the United
Nations unless the Big Four reached agree
ment by September Is. Washington cold
shouldered the idea, but London assented;
so our Government reluctantly agreed to
go on with the business. So short was the
notice that the delegates met in Paris only
three days ahead of the deadline.
Three days to compose differences that
had divided the Big Four for three years!
Yet what did Mr.. Vishinsky do? He spent
the entire first day arguing that this con-
ference was not proper conference be-
cause all four of the foreign ministers were
not in attendance, albeit clear precedents
existed proving that deputies properly
empowered could do as well. Next, he
used up most Of the second day rejecting
a proposal to settle the only phase of the
problem-Italian Somaliland-on which
there appeared to be substantial identity
of viewpoints. Finally, in the very midst
of an argument supporting Moscows pre-
vious position to give Italy U. N. trustee
ship over all the colonies, Vishinsky did a
verbal somersault and switched to pro-
posal placing them all under the jurisdic-
ton of the United Nations The balance
of the time was spent chiefly in Vishinsky
diatribes against the Western Powers. The
wrangling finally ended at three o'clock
on the morning of September IS, when all
hands called it day and turned the issue
over to the U. N. General Assembly, as
provided by treaty.
Just what Moscow had in mind by this
extraordinary behavior is not yet clear
OF course, general intent to roll the dip
lomatic waters and stir up all possible dis
sension between the Western Powers can
be presumed, since that is the overall
strategy pursued by Moscow on all occa-
sions. At any rate, the issue of the
Italian colonies has passed from direct
negotiation between the Big Four to dis
cusSion and consideration by the U. N.
General Assembly, where Russia has no
veto. In that discussion, the further in
tentions of Moscow and Its satellite men,
bers doubtless will appear.

Monarchs Lose
To Worihington
in the second half.

in the second half.
The Monarch line showed de-
fensive weakness at times but it
must be remembered the Worth
ington's all-senior backfield will
make more than one opposing
| line look bad this fall.
A boy named Shearer, who
operated from left halfback, was
the principal Cardinal offensive
weapon. He had plenty of sup
port from a fast. veteran line
and gained net of 236 yards
rushing and passing out of
Worthington's total of 379. He
was not alone in the backfield
as Carpenter, Fields, 7and Mons
la all had the ability to gain
ground in sizeable chunks.
First Quarter Drives
The first quarter, although
scoreless, saw drives by both
teams. Worthington took the OPP
sening kickoff and went SO yards
before they were stalled by a
clipping penalty and Carpenter
punted out of bounds on the
Marysville 25. Marysville then
drove to the Cardinal 38 before
Carpenter intercepted Boyd's
pass on third down.
This was the beginning of the
drive that led to Worthington's
touchdown in the second quarter.
They went sixty yards in four
teen plays. On fourth down
Monska, Worthington's quarter
back scored from the one1foot
line but the play was called back
and Worthington penalized five
yards. Shearer took it over on. the
next play from the five on an
end run. Carpenters place-kick
for the extra point was wide.
1t was after this score that
Marysville made one of their
greatest bids for points. Hoff-
man returned the kickoff to the
38. Ten plays brought them to
the Worthington six yard line
with fourth down coming up and
one yard to go. Curly Hill was
smeared for no gain and the
Cardinals took over. Worthing-
ton drove to the Monarchs' nine
yard line before time ran out on
them and the half ended.
Third Quarter Even
The third quarter was practic-
ally even with Marysville posi-
ly having Slight edge. Grimes
punted out of bounds on the
Worthington % early in the
fourth quarter. Four running
plays took the Cardinals to the
fifty where Shearer faded back
and threw a beautiful pass that
was complete to the Marysville
l3-yard line. A clipping penalty
set the Cardinals back Is yards,
however. On fourth down Car
penter tried a field goal but it
was downed by Marysville's
Curly Hill on the IL yard line.
The Monarchs then proceeded
to travel 83 yards on IL running
plays. They seemed headed for
a certain touchdown with only
two minutes left to play but
Howard Hill dropped the ball
when he was hit hard on the
Worthington 5 yard line.
The Cardinals recovered and
brought the ball out to the Marys-
vile 25 as the game ended.
