This and That

Now that summer is about over, the
various insects can retire to their denS
until next spring.
Bites and stings from these creatures
have varying effects on human skin and
underlying tissues.
Some people do not mind mosquito
and flea bites in the least, whereas 9TH
ers react instantly.
When a bee sting is concerned, some
persons find them trivial, others serious.
The Associated Press carried a story
from Thurmont, Md, of a 60-year-old
farmer who almost died from a single
bee sting
He had an allergy which could cause
death in short time if he were not
treated with heart StimulantS at once.
r.
Thousands of persons who do not
suffer that much from stings neverthe-
less become i'll, and the stung places
itch furiously, and sometimes for days.
A condition almost equivalent to Sc
rum sickness develops.
Yet it is the fashion of those who
do not SO suffer to laugh at those who do.
This is particularly true of annoy
ances from mosquitoes and f1eas.
Those with tough hides land an utter
lack of inimical reaction to the biteS)
find the sufferings Of others mere
. matter for laughter.
Stings from bees and waspsA cause

swellings in some persons as large as
hens eggs.
There not only are two elements in
such injections (for that is what they
are) to cause hurt, but also there is
never any telling what germ or virus is
carried into the wound by the stinger.
1t is always good thing in bee and
wasp stingS to find and remove the
stinger, if possible.
Flooding the bites as quickly as pos
Sible with household ammonia is the
old standard treatment.
Next may come an antiSeptic and later
some analgeSic preparation to cut down
on the itching. ct probably won't
work.
Bees cause other trouble, too.
BY flying into cars In motion they
sometimes cause serious accidents.
There was such case here recently.
Every one driving a car should make
up his mind beforehand not to slap at
wandering bee. just keep on driving.
This is, of course, easier said than
done.
1t is instructive to slap at insects.
One does it before thinking.
TempletOn Jones was talking about

him at Connecticut avenue and Nc
Kinley street.
The good man was waiting for

Everybody in Chevy Chase crosses this

Templeton Jones was looking 'em
over" when we accosted him.
What are you doing, JoneS?" we
asked. We knew what he was doing
but we did not let on Neither did Jones.
do you remember that time the wasp
bit me?" he chortled. Fright on the
Leg" he chortled.
What did you do then, Temp" we
asked.
WELL" recalled Jones, 'I pulled of
my trousers, right there in the garden.
MY wife said. Now Templeton. what
are you doing?' And said, Taking off
my pants. what do look like I'm doing,
ouch!"
Jones laughed so loudly that two
scantily clad beauties passing by looked
alarmed.
THAT wasp got me five times before
could get him." Jones frowned at
the recollection. Those five stings itched
for five days, and suddenly stopped on
the fifth day. What do you make of
that?"
Nothing" we said and hoped on the
bus, glad to get rid Of the old bore at
last.

Growing Strength and Unity

There is tone of growing assurance, plus
reStated commitment to the peaceful processes
OF negotiation as opposed to threats of force,
contained in the Anglo French American COM
munique issued here yesterday afternoon. In
effect the carefully drafted announcement en-
braces the foreign-policy dictum of the late
President Theodore Roosevelt to speak softly
and carry big stick
The softly spoken notes of the communique
are found in the concluding paragraph wherein
the Foreign Ministers Of the three major powers
of the free world-the United States, Britain and
France-re emphasize their fidelity to the prn-
ciple of the United Nations Charter that inter-
national differences must be settled by peaceful
processes rather than by force. Significantly,
they add an expression of hope that the Novem-
ber meeting of the U. N. General Assembly in
Paris will provide the stage for such peaceful
processes and pledge themselves to course of
behavior consistent with such hopes. 1t is
statement and a promise imposing great
sponSibility upon the Big Three to act accord
ingly. If this responsibility is met, and there
is no reason to doubt that 1t will be, it imposes
equal responsibility upon Soviet Russia and her
satellite followers to conduct themselves in like
manner or suffer full blame for pushing the
world closer to all-out war.
The reminder that "big stick" is in proc
esS of development is summed up in one phrase
of the communique to the effect that the consult
ing Ministers have found solid grounds for
confidence in the growing strength and unity
of the free world.s While its course has not
been without interruption, or perhaps always in
a straight line progress toward strength and
unity has been most clearly under way since
the outbreak of Red aggression in Korea in
June 1850. More important and undoubtedly
recognized by the Communist powers, is the
fact that the rate of this progress has increased
in recent months with the mobilization of in
dustry and of manpower, ,sand with the gradual
resolution of political problems by such peace
full processes" as the Foreign Ministers meetings
here this week.
There has, in fact been successful testing
of this Big Three unity in reaching agreement
on "a their proposed new relationship with
practically independent West Germany-a Ger
many equipped to participate in the armed de-
tense of free Europe; (2) their decision to pro-
ceed without further delay, and with Soviet
participation If possible, to conclude a treaty
of peace with Austria; and 90 their announced
intent to accord sympathetic study to a revision
of the Italian treaty In the light Of long
standing European fears and prejudiceS the
establishment of common front for Anglo
French-American treatment of each of these
issues is an accomplishment of substance and
unquestionably is one of the solid grounds for
the Joint statement of mutual confidence
If further evidence of this developing power
mist bloc, it very likely will be revealed at the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization meetings in
Ottawa during the coming week.

Policing the Campus

The new National Sports Committee, spon-
sored by Attorney General McGrath in an effort
to free basketball and other sports from the
corruptiye touch of professional gamblers, has
stressed the need for better laws and better law
enforcement to control gambling But legis-
lation and law enforcement are not the complete
answer to the scandals which have shocked
the collegiate sports world and citizens gen.
orally. A thorough-going campus cleanup is es-
sential as preliminary preventive step. 1t does
not take new laws or police drives to effect this
reform.
During the investigation of the Bradley and
Toledo University basketball bribery cases it was
brought out that disreputable characters had had
no difficulty in invading the campus and locker
rooms of the teams. One of these gamblers
had even been granted the privilege of sharing
compartment with star player on train trips
to games. Apparently other agents of gambling
syndicates had accompanied teams to important
contests, found later to have been fixed
This was lax supervision by collegiate au-
thorities, to say the least. To allow strange out
siders the freedom of the campus, the dressing
room or the train accommodations is to make
things easy for the fixers They do not need
a special invitation to make the most of the
opportunities to ply their Shiny trade unmolested.
Policing of the campus by college authorities
should go hand in hand with policing of the
underworld by law-enforcement agencies.

Case Of the Army Captain and the GS-77
To the Editor Of The Stor::

In his letter to The Star September
II. Julian w. Hayden made fairly
accurate comparison of the pay, per-
q,lisites and emoluments of an Army
captain and GS-11 in civil service,
but the comparison is misleading view
of complex situation.
Mr.. Hayden fails to point out some
inequities existing between what other
wise would seem to be equivalent posi-
tions. He fails to mention in pay COM
parison that tours of Army duty are only
three years long, and hence cause cap
tainS and their brother officers to ride
the waves of cost-of- Living differentials
of the entire world area. He fails to
mention that an Army officer not only
has unlimited hospital privileges, but
as has been the case with me and thou
sands more in the Army. we use them for
everything from frost-bite to loss of
limbs.
We even clutter up the hospitals in
our 30s with such old mems ailments as
arthritis from crawling around swamps
in maneuvers or crouching in foxhole
in st. Lo or defending an outpost in a
craggy mountain pass in Korea. We
also have it all over the civil servant

Everybody Is for 1t, But

Everybody is in favor of joint planning for
the Washington Metropolitan Area but how to
accomplish it is another matter. The National
Capital Park and Planning Commission has not
given up hope, however. 1t is preparing a new
bill for regional planning of Greater Washington,
as substitute for the reorganization measure
first presented to Congress. This time the COM
mission will seek in advance the cooperation
of Virginia and Maryland planning authorities
in supporting the proposed legislation That is
a sensible approach-one that might serve to
Increase support in Congress for this legislation
The Inflated bill to create National Capital
Planning Commission, with its membership
widened to include representatives of Virginia
and Maryland died because Of inability of the
various representative Jurisdictions to agree on
the number of members to be granted each
governmental area. Nearby counties insisted on
having co-equal voice with the District Of
Columbia and the Federal Government. But
Federal officials felt that the Federal Govern
ment should have paramount authority in
planning for the expansion OF the National
Capital into Virginia and Maryland
A compromise plan calls for a Regional
Planning Council consisting of representatives
of the Federal Government, the District Of
Columbia and the two adjoining States. This
idea has been favored by some of the suburban
planning authorities. Yet to be settled however
should be given such a council If it is 20 be
merely an advisory group reporting to the
National Capital Park and Planning Commission,
with the latter exercising discretion in accepting
the councils advice, there will still be opposition
from the counties. They want a firm hand in
planning the development of their own COM
munities
All Jurisdictions involved in this issue should
not overlook the fact that the growth of the
Metropolitan Area cannot proceed in an orderly
way unless there is co-ordinated planning
throughout the area. Petty jurisdictional ieal-
Ousies must be subordinated in the joint determi-
nation to find a satisfactory solution to the
regional planning problem The National Capital
Park and Planning Commission says it will
discuss the problem with responsible authorities
in the nearby counties in effort to obtain
agreement on a feasible program. Experience has
shown that unless there is advance agreement
the chances of obtaining congressional action
are sim The present impasse is seriously i'm
peding the planning of Washington's growth at
a critical time in its development. The sooner an
acceptable compromise bill is worked out the
better the prospect of passage next year. 1t is
too late now to expect action at this session of
Congress.

Food and the Cossondros

There has been lot of CasSandra like talk
about the inability of the worlds fast-growing
population to feed itself. So it is reasSuring
to have man like Dr. Arthur Virtanen add his
distinguished voice to those that have been raised
in flat contradiction to the peSsimistS.
The pessimists, it is true make out pretty
good case for their dark predictions: There are
more than billion human beings today; the
earths Immediately arabic land is not supplying
these numbers with adequate quantities Of food;
nevertheless, despite being thus ill-fed even now,
the world is adding 200 million to its population
every decade-a rate of increase that promises
to cover our planet with at least billion men,
women and children within the next 100 years.
Hence, according to the Cassandras-who assume
that there will be no proportionate gains in ag
ricultural productivty-manknd is moving in
evitably toward a nightmare period of global
starvation.
But DR.. Virtanen-who has won the Nobel
Prize for chemistry and who is here in town on
q visit from Finland-has made clear that this
dark assessment of the future is superficial in
the extreme. Actually, in his judgment-and it
is judgment backed by equally distinguished
scentists-the application of present agricul-
tural knowledge throughout the world is all that
is needed to raise enough high-quality food to
provide excellent diets for a population of
anywhere near what it can be in most countries.
For example, the United States, if it wanted
to, could greatly increase its yield of wheat per
acre-a yield that is far below that of such
lands as Denmark and only about third Of
what he himself gets out of his own Finnish
farm. AS for the backward regions they have
only to learn modern techniques and achieve
relatively minor chronological improvements to
reap much bigger harvests.
This reassuring view, moreover, is based
simply on todGyS agricultural knowledge-on
what can be done right now with instruments
and techniques that already available In
talking about the worlds ability to feed billion
people, DR.. Virtanen has purposely left out what
science promises to achieve in the years ahead.
That promise is very great in its potentialities.
It includes the possibility of employing growth
regulating compounds to bring about spec
tacular increase in the earth's crop yield and to
make arid areas abundant in productivity 1t
includes also the possibility of a new type Of
chemical farming capable of producing vast
quantities of sugars starches and other vital
foodStuffs Above all, it includes the possibility
that the harnessed atom will open mans eyes
to the secret of photosynthesis and thus give
him the key to limitless food supply, no matter
how fast his numbers multiply.
Accordingly, If the peoples Of thefworld do

WoodIown Safe at Last

The campaign to save Woodlawn, begun in
1948, has ended in the property'S being turned
over to the National Trust for Historic Preserva-
ton. This means that the beautiful old house
given by George Washington to his nephew and
adopted daughter, Lawrence and Eleanor CustiS
Lewis, is as much assured of maintenance and
protection as any building well can be, The site
of the mansion once was part of Mount Vernon.
Under the new arrangement, the whole estate
will be associated with the parent holdings as
it was in Washington'S time. Thus natural
unity can be re-establShed. Pilgrims to the one
attraction will visit the other and the two shrines
will be remembered in close afaliation.
Lawrence Lewis was Washingtons secretary.
When he fell in love with Nelly, the General and
his wife favored his suit The young couple were
welded at Mount Vernon on Washingtons last
birthday anniversary, February %, 1899. Wood
lawn was the symbol and sign of his gratitude to
them for having made his own home bright It
was to be an extension of the domestic scene in
which he was the 'pater familias." He died
before his vision completely was fulfilled. but
not before the birth of Nelly's first daughter.
Frances Lewis.
The architect of Wood1awn was DR.. William
Thornton, architect of the Capitol, and his grace
full touch is evident in the elliptical stairway and
other adornments. Money has been provided by
the anonymous friend of the trust not only to
liquidate the existing Indebtedness on the prop
erty but likewise to restore the mansion and
grounds Worth Bailey, curator of Mount Ver-
non, will have charge of this work, and that will
be another link between the two estates. Both
now are included in the national heritage, just
as Washington Is and those Of his household
whom he particularly loved are.
