The Federation has announced In

set aside.
In presenting the resolution of in
dorsement, Clement C. Nusbaunl
cited from an editorial in The Star
high lights of the long-standing
controversy as to whether q person
living in the seat Of our National
Government should be entitled to
the same judicial rights as citizens
of the States.
Through the Gwynne Act of 194e,
| he recalled, Congress extended the
Jurisdiction of Federal District
Courts to include District citizens.
This "act of simple justice" how
ever. was invalidated by the deci-
sion last month of the Richmond
court declaring the act unconstltu-
tional. Mr.. Nusbaum pointed out
District citizens now are right back
where they started, he added, and
will remain excluded from Federal
courts unless the decision is re-
versed.

made In the past, DR.. stefansson
said, has been In trying to tight
cold rather than live with 1t and
like 1t. Actually, he said, the Eski-
mos are the only people In history
who have learned to do this. He
called 1t one of the greatest dis
coveries of all times.
There is no such thing, he
stressed, as racial conditioning to
cold so that 1t affects some less
than others. Eskimos would suffer
just as much as natives of the Con-
go, If they lived the same way, he
said.
The great turning point came,
DR.. Stefansson said, when the
worlds most northerly people made
a friend instead Of an enemy out
of cold and learned the great ad-
vantages it gave them. It was
through appreciation of this, he
stressed, that enabled Admiral Rob-
ert E. Peary to reach the North
Pole.
Early in the war, the speaker
said, he saw American sentries In
Alaska wearing clothes that weighed
about 80 pounds. These suits were
extremely clumsy and some times
froze stiff so the men hardly could
walk their posts. In contrast, he
said, he once spent % days on float
ing ice north of Alaska with the
thermometer at so below zero, wear
ing clothes no heavier than a me-
dunn weight business suit, but de-
signed in the Eskimo fashion. He
felt no discomfort.
The white race must learn, he said,
that there is always an abundance
of life under the ice.
DR.. Stefansson is engaged in COM
piling for the Navy 4,000, ,000-word
encyclopedia on the Arctic and sub
Arctic.
He is drawing ON experts all over
the world for this encyclopedia and
has secured some Of his most val
liable assistance from Russians who
have made notable Arctic explora-
tions in the last few years.
They have shown excellent CO.
operation, he said, in providing de-
tailed charts of newly discovered
territory. weather and oceanographic
data.

troops withdraw from Korea, this Is all
the republic can rely on. Incidentally, 1t
should be remembered that Seoul, the
capital of the republic, lies only about
twenty miles from the Northern Korean
border. With the republics forces di-
verted for the suppression of the revolt
in the extreme south, sudden aggression
by the North Korean regime could be
facilitated
If the Russian troops are really with
drawing from North Korea, as announced
by the Moscow radio, the Soviet govern
ment might disclaim responsibility for the
acts Of the native regime, no matter how
subservient to Moscow's orders this regime
actually is For some time, Moscow has
been advocating simultaneous withdrawal
of all occupying forces from Korea, there
by playing up to Korean nationalist
feeling. These are, in fact, the same
tactics which Soviet propaganda is using
in Germany, where similar pattern to
that in Korea is developing. This height
ems the disquieting significance of the
Korean situation.

Rockets in Peuce or War

The remarkable photographs of the
earth taken by rocket-borne cameras at
attitudes of sixty and seventy miles pro-
vide a preview of things to come in an
age of rockets and guided missiles. What
the eye of the camera sees today from
its rocket window the eye of man con-
ceivably will see tomorrow. For scientists
hope, possibly within the lifetime Of pres
ent generations, to perfect rocket design,
engineering and operation to point where
rockets can be used not only as missiles
but as passenger-carrying craft. Indeed,
some rocket enthusiasts already are study
ing the possibilities of using rockets for
lunar exploration.
Evidence of the progress being made in
developing rocket propulsion and control
is revealed in the Photographic expert
ments conducted recently by the Navy at
the White Sands Proving Grounds in New
Mexico. In these tests an all-American
rocket, the Navy's iquid-fueled Aerobee,
took pictures from height of seventy
miles-ten more miles than the peak alti
tude of a camera-equipped German-type
v-2 rocket. The rockets snapped more
than two hundred photographs each during

The Rumsuy House

The campaign Of the Alexandria Associa-
ton to save and restore the Ramsay House
seems to merit public support. A substan-
tial part of the sum needed already has
been collected, and the tag day arranged
for tomorrow may raise the rest If so,
the work can be completed in time for the
Alexandria Bicentennial Celebration which
opens January l.
Occupying the northeast corner of Fair
fax and King streets, the historic old resi-
dence was constructed by William Ramsay,
first Lord Mayor Of Alexandria under the
Crown and first postmaster. His wife,
Ann McCarty Ball. was cousin of George
Washington and in her own fashion almost
as ardent q patriot. During the Revolu-
tionary War, she solicited 475,000 from
friends and neighbors for the use of the
Continental Army. MRS. Ramsay also was
q kind protector of the orphan children
Of Washingtons soldiers. Her husband
matched her philanthropies. They both
are buried in Christ Churchyard.
Mr.. Ramsay built his house almost
exactly two centuries ago. It is a two and
half story edifice of brick covered partly
with clapboard and partly with flush
boarding. There are three pedimented
dormer windows on the front, and the
roof slopes to 4 broad half-gable toward
the rear. The plan for the residence has
been thought to follow the lines of homes
in Mr.. Ramsays native Scotland. But 1t
has an American Colonial atmosphere,
Just the same. Edward c. Van Devanter,
president of the Alexandria Association,
believes the place will be major objective
of bicentenary visitors, If the restoration
drive succeeds as 1t seems likely it will If
everybody interested in preserving "the
oldest structure now standing" in Alexan-
dria co-operates for that purpose.

Crisis in Korea

Despite assurance from the Korean
government that the revolt in the south
has been brought under control, this event
points ominously toward an impending
crisis which will challenge not only the
United States but also the United Nations.
The Republic of Korea, established only
two months ago under the presidency OF
DR.. Syngman Rhee, was the result OF
democratic elections held under the aus
pices of q commission appointed by the
U. N. Assembly 1t has received provisional
recognition by our Government and is
undoubtedly favored by majority in the
U. N. Assembly as we'll
However, the republics Jurisdiction Is
limited to the southern part of the coun-
try, the area occupied by our troops at
the close of the war with Japan The
northern part of the country, under Rus
sian occupation, has been Systematically
transformed into Soviet satellite with
Communist dominated regime set up by
Moscow which condemns the Rhee govern
ment as nest of traitors and claims to
represent the whole of Korea. There can
be no doubt that this Red regime Is acting
under Moscow's orders. And it commands
q powerful native army, trained and
equipped by Russia and commanded largely
by Korean exiles in Siberia who have been
thoroughly indoctrinated in communism.
There is likewise no doubt that the
American zone has been permeated by
Communist fifth column ready to do any
thing which the North Korean regime
commands.
Against this redoubtable combination
the republic is protected only by moder-
ate-sized force trained and equipped by
our occupation authorities more as q
gendarmerie than as modern combat
army. few thousand American troops
still remain in Southern Korea at the
request of the Korean government, but
their retention is dependent upon a deci-
sion of the U. N. Assembly as well as upon
the Korean Republic and ourselves. The
fact that the current revolt was staged
by a large garrison admittedly infiltrated
by Communist agents does not speak well
for the reliability of the government
forces. Aad, when and If the American

Risinq Cost of Crime


hstical disparities resulting from changes
In reporting methods the amount OF crime
In Washington disclosed in Police Chief
Barrett's annual report Is disturbing.
Major Barrett says that large percentage
of the increase in criminal activity can
be attributed to improved recording pro-
cedures instituted during the past fiscal
year. But he told the Commissioners that
not all of the rise could be laid to more
accurate reporting.
There were nearly 5000 felonious crimes
in the District during the fiscal year which
ended last July /. This was an increase
of more than $500 crimes over the pre-
vious year That the crime trend continues
its costly pace is borne out by even later
figures compiled by the Washington Grim
inal Justice Association. The association
recently announced that property stolen
during the first six months of this year
totaled in value $1,450,383. Police re-
covered $814,875 of this amount, or 56.2
per cent. The national recovery average
is 604 per cent. The association pointed
out that If the annual costs OF operating
the various agencies concerned with crime
In the District are added to losses from
robbery and burglary Che crime bill for
Washington in one year amounts to nearly
fifteen million dollars.
Major Barrett reiterates that his depart
ment could do better job in preventing
crime and arresting violators If more
policemen were available. The Criminal
Justice Association concurs in this view.

the departments 1889 police officers and
civilian employees provide ratio OF 81
police employees for every 1000 inhabit-
ants This compares with the 2.3 ratio
prevailing in cities of more than 250,000
population. It would take 180 more men
to bring the local department to the
average ratio for comparable cities.
But the problem of Strengthening the
police force Is not just question of induc-
ing Congress to appropriate more money
with which to hire patrolmen. AS mat
ter of fact, the authorized strength of the
department today is 1882, but 1t has been
Impossible so far to find enough qualified
recruits to flll the vacancies. The Civil
Service Commission has even gone to the
trouble of seeking men in nearby States.
However, police departments in those and
other States are having manpower troubles
of their own.
Major Barrett blames the scarcity of
recruits on relatively low salaries of police,
on the six-day week required Of policemen
and on the night shift. AS with firefighting,
teaching and other forms of public service,
law enforcement is suffering from competi-

from Congress, municipal authorities and
citizens than has been given to it in the

Evening star., 1948-10-22


The Texas scientist, Dr.. Hermann j. Muller.
was an idealist. He was loaded with honors.
including the $1,000 prize of the American AS.
sociation of Science and then the great Amer.
ican public seemed to sink back into apathy.
These were the jazzy, booming 20s, when
everybody was rich and complacent. Life here
was good and suficient.
Honored by Russians.
DR.. Muller looked across the sea to land
where there was no complacency and no con.
ventions-Russia. He shook the dust Of
America from his shoes and went to the
promised land, where he found life far from
happy. Finally he was back in America,
a Nobel Prize winner and o professor at the
University of Indiana.
At first the Russians heaped honors upon
him, but DR.. Muller already was walking the
hard road Of disillusionment. This has reached
q climax with his resignation, just announced
through the American Association for the
Advancement Of Science here, from Russia's
supreme scientific body, the Soviet Academy
Of Sciences. Until recently the academy has
remained, under both imperial and Soviet
regimes, one Of the great scientific societies
Of the world
"The deep esteem in which have held your
organization in the past" Prof. Muller writes
to the Russians, makes it painful for me to
inform you that I now find 1t necessary to
sever completely my connection with you.
Cites Dropping Of Scientists.
"The occasion for my doing so is the recently
reported series Of actions of your presidium
governing body of the academy in dropping.
presumably for their adherence to genetics,
such notable scientists as your most distin.
guished psychologist and your most eminent
student Of morphogenesis and of abolishing
the laboratory Of your most eminent geneticist
and in announcing your support Of the
charlatan Lysenko, whom some years ago you
had stopped to take into your membership.
These disgraceful actions show clearly that
the leaders Of the academy are no longer con-
Quoting themselves as scientists, but are mis-.
using their positions to destroy science for
narrow political purposes, even as did those
who posed as scientists in Germany under the
domination of the Nazis. In both cases the
attempt was made to set up politically domi.
mated science, separated from that Of the world
in general in contravention of the fact that
true science can know no national boundaries.
Leads to Conclusion Of Naxis.
"1n Germany too 1t was the field Of genetics.
that Of my own specialization, which was
subjected to the greatest perversion. The
pGeScaentinc ooscU Uantlsm Oh Lysenko musS
lead inevitably to the same dangerous fas-
cistic conclusion as that Of the Nazis-that
the economically less advanced peoples and
classes of the world have become actually
inferior in their heredity. The Nazis would
have the allegedly lower genetic status cause,
while the Lysenkoists would have it an effect,
of the lower opportunity Of the less fortunate
groups for physical and mental development.
In either case a vicious circle Is arrived at
which objective scientists do not concede.
They have established the existence Of
separate material of heredity."
