stooge have houted the U. N. in the most
hagrant manner, boycotting its Commis-
sion and refusing any cooperation. In
the last analysis, therefore, it would seem
to be the u. N. rather than the United
States which is being defied and frus-
trated. This responsibility the Commis-
sion's report sidesteps, at least by implica-
ton. To argue that Korea'S troubles are
due to the worldwide antagonism" be-
tween the United States and the Soviet
Union, who should lend their good offices
to solve the problem, is a mere counsel
of perfection which has no practical
meaning. The Commission should have
been more fortnight in assessing the
blame and placing it squarely on the
guilty party. The culprit is Moscow. Why
not say so frankly?

Crime Trends in Washington

It is still too soon after the Police
Departments change in crime reporting
methods to obtain an accurate picture
of crime trends here in the past few
years. But the arrest figures compiled
since adoption of the FB1-approved Uni
form Crime Report system give hope that
the postwar rise in serious crimes is ap-
preaching a leveling-of point, at least.
The annual report of the Metropolitan
Police Department for the fiscal year
ended June 80 shows no decrease of crime
it is true, but the upward curve which,
here as in most of the Nations large
cities, scared sharply after the war at
last shows signs of reaching peak. Thus
whereas serious crimes in the District
were well below the f1ve-thousand mark
at the close of the war, the number rose
rapidly until it had nearly tripled by the
end of 1948. The crime-reporting reform
during the 1948 fiscal period resulted in
larger totals Tor many types of major
crimes, so that comparisons between the
statistics for the 1949 and 1948 fiscal years
are useless For example, although the
l949 fiscal report indicates startling
increase in rape over the previous year
293 over 89-the latest rape total includes
carnal knowledge cases and attempted
rape or carnal knowledge cases, which
ofenses were classified separately in the
past.
An encouraging aspect of the report is
that police are having better success than
in the past in solving crimes. Good
police work resulted in clearing up of 61.7
per cent of all felonies reported, as COM

A Lower Chest Goal

There has always been an argument
between the people who set up the budgets
and the people who must raise the money
to meet the budgets in Community Chest
campaigns. The budget committees have
felt that their final totals represent the
minimum needed for operation of the
Chest enterprises. The fund raissrs have
argued that if this minimum is higher
than the cash they can persuade people
to contribute, even the minimum is u1-
realistic.
This year the argument has been won
by those who will direct the money-raising
campaign They have substantially re-
duced the goal-by about $3.50, ,000-under
the minimum amount set by the budget
committees and they have secured the
votes in the Chest Federation to back
them up.
There is good argument in support
of their case. Only four times since the
Community Chest campaigns began here
in 1929 has the budgeted goal been reached
or exceeded. Last years goal, for example,
was a million dollars in excess of the
money raised. In only two years have the
people of the Metropolitan Area covered
by the Community Chest Federation con-
tributed more money than the reduced
goal of $3,991,71 established for the COM
ing year. These two occasions were during
the war, when the appeal in the name OF
the United War Fund contained many
expenditures for our soldiers and sailors
on the fighting fronts.
The money-raising campaign this year
will be directed by younger group OF men
in the community, whose fine interest In
the welfare of the Chest Federation is
one of the most promising of recent devel-
opments. 1t is understandable that they
do not want failure, in the sense of not
meeting in dollars the goal that the
budget calls for. There may be
psychological disadvantage in the repeti-
ton of such failure. For despite repeated
failure, the Chest agencies continue to
function and there is an inclination to
believe that the goals are therefore in
excess of the funds actually necessary.
The Star does not believe this to be the
case No harder work goes into Com
munity Chest planning than is contributed
by the budget committees. And their final
recommendations, far from exceeding
need, represent many denials of valid
requests from the agencies. But it is no
use asking for more than people will give.
If the reduced goal can be met this year
and it will not be an easy job by any
means-the success will be a moral tonic
for the Chest. And if the reduced goal
can be exceeded so much the better.

Explains Why Streetcars
Act Like Frogs
To the Editor Of The Star

To the Editor Of The Star:
Some correspondents have criticized the
frog-like progress of the streetcars-a series
of vigorous jumps rather than smooth mo-
ton. This I take it, is due to that inven-
ton of the devil, the cline switch" Put
out by Westinghouse about 1910 and never
since improved, this device breaks the motor
circuit completely as soon as the first move
ment is made toward turning of the power.
The motorman can turn on the power grad
ually, but he can't turn it off gradually.
The result is of the same nature as the
water hammer in pipe when the valve Is
closed instantly.
While on the subject. it seems the ac-
celeration rate OF the automatic car control
is considerably too high. If this resulted IN
greater car mileage per hour 1t might be
Justified but when the operator socks the
juice to the motors only to cut 1t of the
next instant, the result is merely to jerk
the passengers two ways instead of one. AS
the new-type car must in any case trail be-
hind the Noah's-A cars all Of this highly
modern mechanism is nothing more than a
nuisance-a needless infliction due to short
sighted engineering and Indifferent discipline
I bring in discipline because considerably
better results might be had If the motor
mans foot were not so heavy. He is well
braced in his nice little chair, and ne can
take it. His standing passengers can't, and
they don't like it.
The motorman operates the car with his
feet. while his brain chiefly is occupied IN
counting cash. It seems the same idea gov
erns his superiors in the operating depart
ment, all the way up. A lot could be done
to make riding more agreeable. but they
are not doing 1t. HUGH FfIAHUGA.

Justice RutIedoe

Justice Wiley Blount Rutledge was the
eighth and the last of the Roosevelt
appointees to the Supreme Court. A
friendly Senate confirmed him by voice
vote, rejecting popular approval not only
of the nominee but of the too often
neglected policy of selecting for the su-
preme Court some one who had distin-
guished himself in the courts below. His
death removes the only one of the present
associate justices who came to the highest
court with this background of judicial
experience, although the Chief Justice Is
also an alumnus of the United States
Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia.
His service here on the Court of Appeals,
followed by the six and half years he
spent on the Supreme Court, produced
an unusually large number OF warm
friendships among Washingtonians, to
whom his death comes as peculiarly
personal loss. For he was friendly man
and he seemed to relish the freedom and
companionships of social gatherings as
sort of escape from the clustered role cast
for him by his position. He once told

in vacation time, in putting on old clothes
and travelling around, incognito. talking
to all sorts of people to find what they
were thinking about, and he recommended
this diversion as a profitable one for his
brethren in high places.
He revered the profession of the law
above all other pursuits and he thought OF
the Supreme Court as the ultimate attain
ment for any of its practitioners, for whom,
in his opinion, there could be no higher
reward in public life. He regarded the
Interpretation of the law, under living
Constitution, as an opportunity for effect
ing social change. As he gained maturity
on the bench it became more difficult to
place him in any certain category, regard
ing his opinions, though he made his mark
as ''liberal" judge. Like some other
jurists, whether conservative or liberal IN
their views, he was doubtless susceptible
to the pressures of his strong personal
convictions in finding support for his own
economic and social views in the Consti-
tuition. His place as Judge, in the law ne
helped to write, will be decided by pos
terity. But there is no doubt about the
permanent place he won for himself IN the
Judgment OF his friends as sincere.

A Question for One
Who Believes the Ark Story

TO the Edltor OF The Star:
In The Star. September 5, c. A. Rentfro
discusses Noah's Ark, with many assump-
tions He then says: From these eight
persons" Noah. his wife, 3 sons and their
wives -. "the earth was repopulated".
The earths population, from earliest
knowledge, has contained enormous numbers
of four major races Of people. Stated simply.
these are the white, yellow-red, brown and
black races
often have wondered how they all
could have originated from one family,
presumably white. To make the matter
clear to all. will Mr.. Rentfro please tell us
which son of Noah gave rise to the white
(Caucasian race, which to the yellow-red
Mongoloid-Amerind, which to the brown
(Melanesian), and which to the black (Afri-
cam race and how it happens that their
progenies are so different?

u. N. Report on Korea

It Is a bit difficult to follow the line of
reasoning adopted by the U. N. Commis-
sion to Korea in it's report to the General
Assembly. This is the body charged by
the Assembly with the task of investigat-
ing and, if possible, mending the affairs
of that distracted country.
The report is thoroughly pessimistic. 1t
frankly admits It's inability to carry out
the Assembly's directive, says that hopes
of reuniting Korea are becoming more
and more remote" and warns against the
danger of "barbarous civil war" between
the two regimes which function in the
south and north respectively.
All this seems factually correct. But
when the Commission attempts to draw
conclusions, some inconsistencies appear.
It certainly has nothing good to say about
the Russian-backed Peoples Republic" in
Northern Korea, with its tyrannical rule
over its territory and its aggressive, bel1i-
cose attitude toward the Korean Republic
in the south. But it likewise takes the
latter government to task for what 1t
deems to be an oppressive attitude toward
opposition elements, to military postur-
ing" on the border, and to its maSSing OF
armaments obtained from the United
States. Indeed, the Commission inferen-
TALLY criticizes us when it states that
UNITED States military personnel advise
and assist in the training of the Republics
forces as, on the other side of the parallel,
military personnel of the U. s. S. r. re-
portedly perform like services for the
northern forces"
That quotation reflects a standpoint
which holds that the Republic of South
Korea is somehow the creature of the
United States, as the North Korea regime
is of the Soviet Union, and that we as well
as Russia share in responsibility for the
present mess and it's dangerous possibil-
tiles. This, however, is emphatically not
so. The original division of Korea into
American and Russian military occupation
zones at the close of the late war with
Japan was explicitly agreed to be a
temporary measure preparatory to the
establishment of a democratic native gov
ernment for the whole country. Our
diplomacy has done its best to bring that
to pass, only to be thwarted at every turn
by the intransigeance of Moscow and the
satellite regime it set up in it's northern
zone. Our direct responsibility for South
Korea ended when Republic was estab-
lished there under the supervision of the
U.N. General Assembly and was recognized
by it as the lawful government for the
entire country. But Moscow and its local

A British Working Chap Wants
Only Understanding and Peace


To the Editor Of The Star
It gives me great pleasure as British
working chap to be able to write to the
editor of an American newspaper which,
to say the least is unbiased in its cartoons,
and still greater pleasure that your President
studies the press and noticed this fact
am enclosing clipping from this morn
ing's edition of the London Daily Mirror
which reports President Truman as citing
Star cartoon as a good statement of his
position on the dollar talks. The cartoon
Is described as showing "a very amiable
Uncle Sam looking across the Atlantic at
John Bull smiling while two little boys
labelled the United States Press and British
Press are throwing bricks at each other"
The Daily Mirror has very large circula-
ton and this story will at least advertise
the fairness of The Star I think I voice
the opinion of the majority of sane British
working men when state that we want no
mistrust; we only want the chance to get
on with the job.
For myself-Well, in 1914-1918 was in the
Royal Navy. This last war was on essential
Guard and, as you may guess being on duty
in the City of London I saw blitzes and suf-
fering to last me all my life.
Personally have never had break. 1t
has been all toll and trouble-wars and
their aftermath.
OF this I don't trouble-aS long as I can
secure peace and understanding with my
neighbors and security for all my family,

I will close now, wishing yourself and

process. would your editorial writer then
urge the local authorities not only to revoke
the permit of such a group to demonstrate
but also to suppress The Star because it
"incited" to violence? And would your edi-
torial writer. in the final issue of your great
newspaper. lecture the Supreme Court on
its duty to uphold such notification of
freedom of the press because it's exercise
had led to rioting?
I hope your editorial writer would by that
time have changed his mind and have de-
cided that the basic rights of free citi-
zenry must be preserved, In every substan-
tive sense, against violence or the threat of
violence, from whatever quarter it may come.

Tests Make Heavy Man.
Theoretical Possibility
Heavier Forms of Is of 92 Elements
Concentrated at Oak Ridge
Bv Thomas r. Henry


OAK RIDGE. Tenn, Sept. 12.-"Heavy
man" now is theoretical possibility.
He would be man. the elements Of
whose body were stable, heavy forms of the
ordinary elements.
Essentially all the elements which are
not radioactive in nature-gold is the only
noteworthy exception - have heavier than
normal forms, with one or more extra
neutrons in the nuclei of their atoms.
About 260 Of these heavy isotopes are known
to exist. Approximately 130 have been
extracted in the isotopes laboratory here
and about 20 in other laboratories. The
Oak Ridge scientists have been able to con-
centrate the heavy forms Of Is of the 90
elements These include all those which
normally enter into the body Of human
being or any other animal.
The theoretical possibility is that per-
son fed from birth only on foods made up
OF these heavy isotopes eventually would
have an entire body composed of them.
He would drink only water composed Of
heavy hydrogen and oxygen, eat only meat
and bread made up of heavy carbon, sulfur.
calcium and phosphorus. What sort of a
man such creature would be is, Of course,
entirely speculative. Presumably all his
physical reactions would be slowed down
and his life greatly heightened.
Small Amounts Separated.
At present the amounts of many of the
substances which have been separated are
mere specks and they are badly needed for
various research projects. The work grew
directly out of the techniques developed for
separating the isotopes of uranium at the
start Of the atomic bomb program. Essen
TALLY the same methods are used, the heav-
ier and lighter forms being separated by .
device known as the mass spectrograph.
They have little of the color of the explod-
ing isotopes, but some of them may prove
equally valuable One use now being made
of them is to obtain purer forms of some
of the radioactive isotopes which are needed
in medical research. An excellent example
is iron Sc. When bombarded with neutronS
it gives an almost pure sample of the most
common type of radioactive iron. When
this is produced from ordinary iron the
result is mass from which few valid con-
cll8ions can be drawn.
Among the major efforts now under way
is one to obtain an adequate supply Of the
mildly radioactive potassium 40, which ex-
lists in nature in a ratio of about twelve
thousandths of l per cent to ordinary potas-
SUM. Just at present it is about the rarest
stuff in the universe. 1t once was abundant
so much so that it must have kept the
crust of the earth mass of boiling rock.
The ambition here is to enrich ordinary
potassium with this isotope so that it con-
stitutes about 10 per cent of the mixture
and then to determine its properties.
Evening star., 1949-09-12

pared with the previous years record of
5S2 per cent. This percentage compares
very favorably with the average in other
large cities, according to the Washington
Criminal Justice Association.
The next fiscal years report should
prove more enlightening as to crime trends
in Washington, for fair comparison with
the 1949 fiscal report will then be possible,
for the first time since new reporting
procedures were adopted.
