Red Attack on Einstein Anouses Our Scientists

Soviet RusSia's current wave of
anti-SemitiSm has now been eX-
tended to take in no less a person
than Albert Einstein, the worlds
foremost physicist and father Of
the theory of relativity.
The Reds attacked not only the
views of Professor EinStein, but also
those Of Physicists Niels Bohr and
the late Sir Arthur Eddington. Odd
ly enough, the attack on Einstein
was made by Yuri Zhdanov. Scien-
tist-son Of Andrei Zhdanov, Polit-
huro member allegedly murdered
Four years ago by one Of the nine
terrorist Jewish doctors" Young
Zhdanov made his move only three
DAYS after the ''plot" against his
father was announced.
A newly elected member Of the
Communist Party Central Commit
tee, Mr.. Zhdanov contended in q
Pravda article that incorrect sub
jective interpretations In physics"
resulted from EinStein's theory Of
relatfvity.
DeVoStotln9 TI00t
The correctness Of the Einstein
theory and Max Planek'S quantum
theory was demonstrated beyond the
shadow Of doubt when their ap-
plication produced the atomic bomb
and the hydrogen bomb. But
Zhdanov querulously complains that
there is strong evidence in modern
''bourgeois physics" Of tendency

Reviewing Soviet science in the
light Of 'Stalin's economic theses" "
Zhdanov continued that the trend
from objectivity was disclosed fur

PoIio's Hereditary Aspects Studied

Science is finding hints that hu-
mans inherit susceptibility to
paralysis from polio.
Inheritance of one or more
strange genes, the units of heredity,
may make some people setups for
paralytic effects from an invasion
by polio virus. BY the same token
people who lack these genes would
have natural resistance to paralysis.
Still Suggestion
The Inheritance angle still is
largely a suggestion. but one that
may explain a major mystery Of
polio-its unpredictable ways.

rates. The low rates that made Gov
ernment borrowing easy and cheap
applied also to individuals, Of
course, and encouraged private
borrowing.
The present increase in the re-
discount rate is, therefore, sig
niflcant step away from a policy
that has been definitely inflation-
ary. 1t is only one of a number of
anti-infation measures that could
be employed either by the Federal
Reserve or the Treasury.
In August, 1850. when the out
break Of hostilities in Korea had
set off a scramble for goods and
rapid rise in prices, the rediscount
rate was raised from u per cent
to IA per cent. It was mild but
not very effective restraint on the
speculative use of credit. The pres

A staff assistant to DR.. j. Robert
Oppenheimer, the physicist who car
ried out the development of the first
A-bomb, doubted the Red attack
was worth answering. He added, IF
DR.. Einstein were available, I'm sure
he'd say If they don't believe it,

Red A-Bombs Unaffected
Any hope that the Soviet scien-
fists. by taking issue with the
theory of relatively, might cut
themselves off from successful de-
velopment of a hydrogen bomb
would appear to be wishful thinking.
If the Soviets have an A-bomb. as
they claim, it's safe bet that it was
not developed by any dialectally
materialistic deviation from estab-
lished theory.
DR.. Conway Zirkle, University Of
Pennsylvania biologist and author Of
the devastating Death Of q Science
in Russia" seemed to have antici-
pated the Zhdanov statement. He
said last December 81 that while the
Russians condemn the basic philo-
sophical approach to physics as
idealistic, their own basic research
is not affected by their propaganda.
Their physics is good, he says. De-
spite party influence, nuclear phys
les and engineering development are

plode, the physicists responsible cam

sis. Why are just some affected?
Scientific SleuthS wondered
whether inheritance could have
something to do with it, with polio
paralysis running in families.
Sometimes whole families have
shown high incidence of polio,
with paralysis. Last summer polio
struck four or five children within
the same large family.
Another bit of evidence is this:
In a 50-year period there were 20
cases of polio in one remote section
of West Virginia. Checking up. in
veStigatorS found all % were re-
lated by blood. A recessive gene,
showing up now and then in chill

OTTAWA.-The new furry of ac-
tivity by American supporters Of
the st. Lawrence seaWay project
interests the Canadian government
and people, but United States par
ticipation in the scheme is no longer
vital to Canada.
Thus if the new Republican Con-
gress and administration take ac-
ton to deal the United States in
on the seaway, Canada will welcome
America as a full partner. If that
doesn't happen, Canada won't be
bitterly disappointed.
The Liberal administration Of
Prime Minister Louis st. Laurent
decided nearly two years ago that
if the Americans couldn't make up
their minds to share in the project,
Canada would build the seaway sim
gle-handedly.
Motter Of Pride
Since then the Canadian people
have accepted the idea of an all
Canadian seaway without a qualm,
and with considerable imitation Of
national pride. They believe their
engineering ability and experience
are equal to the task, and that they
will be able to finance the $500
million cost without difficulty.
Some even prefer to go it alone.
The Canadian Socialist Party has
advocated refusing to let the United
States come in on the project now,
even if it wanted to.
st. Laurent and his administra-
ton sympathize with but do not
share this view. They still prefer
United States participation if that
won't mean serious delay in building
the seaway.
There is still time for the United
States to "buy in" on the seaway.
but there isn't unlimited time. That
was made clear in note the Ca
madam government sent to United
States Ambassador Stanley Wood
ward on January 9, following Presi-
dent Truman's comment in his
budget message to the Congress

quirements, and they no longer need
to borrow from the Federal Re-
serve.
When q bank lends to customer
it simply adds the amount Of the
loan to his account. AS bank loans
increase, the amount of check-book
money increases; as loans are re-
duced, borrowers draw down their
checking accounts. Checkbook
money-which is used for 900 Of
all business nsactionS-increase
or decreases as banks increase or de-
crease their loans. Since 1910 bank
deposits have grown from about $50
billion to $170 billion. This in
crease has been the plainest kind
of imitation, and the pressure of the
enormous quantity of bank deposits
upon prices has forced them to
twice what they were in 1910.
From the beginning Of World War
II, the Treasury and the Federal
Reserve worked together to enable

is more significant and may prove
to be much more effective, especially
If it Is supported by other anti
imitation measures. It comes at a
time when prices have leveled of
and some prices (farm commodities,
for eXample) have been declining.
There are no serious shortages of
goods as there appeared to be fol-
lowing the outbreak in Korea.
Although the increase in the re-
discount rate occurred just before
the change of administration. it ap-
parently has no political significance.
1t does signify. however, readiness
on the part of the Federal Reserve
to go along with the more conserva-
tive fiscal and monetary policies that
the new administration has in
dicated 1t will follow.
Actually. the rise in the redis-
count rate was long overdue. Many
observers expected it last autumn.
But as the holiday-season demand
Evening star., 1953-01-25
By Robert 7. Patterson

The Federal Reserve System has
made an important move to curb
credit expansion and halt imitation.
Ten days ago it raised its redis-
count rate from ia per cent to 2
per cent. Although this increase In
the Nations basic interest rate is
not q radical one, 1t Immediately
raises the cost Of borrowing for
banks which obtain extra funds
at the Federal Reserve to lend to
their customers. It win also increase
the cost Of borrowing for business
and for the United States Govern
ment.
Significant Step Awoy
The rise in the rediscount rate is
o significant step away from the
extremely easy money policy that
has prevailed, with marked inf1a-
tionary effects, since before World
War II.
The II regional Federal Reserve
Banks, a. bankers banks, provide
much the same kind Of services for
their member banks that the mem
berS IA turn provide for individuals
and businesses. When the redisCount
rate Is low, member banks ind it
profitable to borrow from the Fed
eral Reserve at that rate and lend
to their customers at higher rates.
They sometimes borrow, too, In order
to buy certain Government securities
when the yield on the securities
is high enough to make 1t profit
able.
The higher rediscount rate means
that money has become dearer.
Since the banks that have lent to
the limit of their resources must
now pay more to obtain extra funds
they will be inclined to charge their
borrowers somewhat more before
making use Of the higher-cost credit
available to them at the Federal
Reserve.
An increase in the rediScount rate
tends to push all other interest
rates higher, although it takes
certain amount of time for the ef-
feet to seep upward through the
whole credit structure. Only when
the overall demand for credit is
already decreasing will an increase
in the rediscount rate fail to have
this effect.
Rote Rise Effects
AS interest rates go up, some bor-
rowers will borrow less to avoid the
increased expense. Some who had
found it just barely profitable to
borrow at the lower rate will repay
their loans. When the demand for
credit falls of as result of higher
interest charges many banks find
that their own resources are suf-
f1cient to meet their customers re-

NON SCHEDULED AIRLINES GET
 BACKING FROM CONCRESSMEN
 APPEARING ON CAB. POLICIES
WASHINGTON. R

WASHINGTON, R - Oswald Ryan, chairman of the Civil Aero nautics Board (CAB), was told Friday the board should consider liberalizing it's regulation on non- scheduled airlines, particularly those serving such isolated areas as Alaska.
 Rep. Wolverton R-ND, chair man of the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee, [ said he is convinced there is something in the law that needs correction" to prevent the irregu- lar airlines from being put out of business.
 Rep. Pelly R-Wash) said that shippers in his district are up in arms over the loss of the irregular air service" particularly between the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. Wolverton, presiding at a hear ing on the CAB functions and pol icies, also read into the record supporting letter which Alaska's Delegate Bartlett wrote to Ryan January IF.
 Bartlett said the majority of Alaskans, as close to unanimity as it is possible for them to come, have urged that Air Transport As sociates (ATA) a non-scheduled airline, not be put out of business.
 Pelly said it is possible to buy fresh milk in Fairbanks for 80 cents a quart, "but you wouldn't be able to get any milk at all if 1t wasn't for the irregulars"
 He added that it may be that new legislation is needed to "set a pattern for the irregular airlines more in keeping with 1853 than with 1938."
 Wolverton said, with reference to ATA, that it is unfair, after an airline has pioneered a route and made a success of it, to close it

February continued the rela- lively cool, dry trend of this win ter. Only four inches of snow fell during the month, accounting for only 0.33 inch of precipitation, slightly over one-third of normal.
 Six inches of snow remained on the ground at the end of the month, as compared to 20 inches at the end of February, 1852. This is the least snow cover for the end of February since 1940, when only five inches were observed.
