Police Dogs May Solve
Shortage of PatrOlmen

The nations only woman
police commissioner, Mrs. Mar
guerite G. Johnson OF Dear
bon, Michigan, a city of 100,
900 population, speaking be-
fore the 62nd annual Interna-
tional Association of Chiefs Of
Police, being held in Philadel-
pllia, Pa, said that police dogs
may be the answer to the
shortage of patrolmen in ma
ny of the nations communi-
ties.
Four German Shepard dogs,
which at command will Jump
though a plate glass window,
are being used as an expert
ment, which is the first of its
kind in city police work, in
Dearbon, according to Mrs.
Johnson, a grandmother, who
is also Commissioner of the
Fire and Communications De-
partment.
INSTEAD OF having two po-
licemen on a beat, we can
send out a dog and an officer, {"
she said. 1.-THE dog, if COM
manded, will jump through a
plate glass window, flush out
a suspect and disarm him, en-
ter a burning building to
search for victims, scale a IA
foot fence and stand guard"
$50 far, she said, I'VE think
the experiment is terrific"
THE dogs, who also travel
in patrol cars, could save ma
ny officers lives" Commission
e. Johnson added. III a man
is armed with a knife or gun
or is holed up somewhere, the
dog will find him, flush him,
out, disarm him and then
guard him until the officer ar
rives."
"AnG officers get no SASS
when they are patroling with
a dog. Everybody respects
them"

this will be a golden opportu-
nifty for women to really show
what they can do, and will
make the path easier for their
younger sisters who might
want to try this career.
The examination route should
not prove too difficult, for just
recently 1t was a woman, Miss
Pauline C. Kreger, who set an
all-time record by scoring the
first 80 out of 100 on the For
eign Service exams.
Chonge in Foreign Attitudes
"Since the turn Of the cen
tury women have made a slow
but sure inroad in the foreign
service" said Mr.. Hare. Per-
haps their advancement there
has been slower than in pri-
vate enterprise. But that is not
always our fault. They have
had to await a change In
the attitudes and prejudices
against women in foreign
countries"
Today. the department feels
free to send careerists such as
Miss Frances Willis as Ambas-
sador to Switzerland, Miss
Constance Harvey as chief Of
the division of external affairs
in Bonn, Germany, Miss Kath-
leen Molesworth as first Sec
retary and counselor at Lon
don, Miss Mary Olmstead to
Karachi, Pakistan, and Mrs.
Margaret Joy Tibbetts to the
Belgian Congo.
On the Debit Side
On the debit side. however,
it is unlikely that ESQ ranks
will ever be too heavily popu-

be able and willing to travel
wherever he or she is sent. A
married woman generally can
not do this. And many girls
who start out as FSO's. then
marry, quit working altogether.
Despite these drawbacks"

1000 in Clerical Jobs
Although it is important to
stress this increase Of women
in the officer corps" said Mr..
Hare, I'VE must not overlook
the invaluable contribution Of
some 1000 women who serve
abroad in a clerical capacity"
This current increase of
women in officer jobs is a one

Blow to Toll Bridqes

The conSultants' report on toll-bridge
possibilities in the Washington Metropoli-
tan Area holds no encouragement for those
who have suggested the pay-as-you-go
plan for so-called bypass bridges. While
1t has been generally conceded that Con-
gress would never authorize tolls for any
gateway to the Nations Capital, there has
been increasing talk of tolls for such outer
spans as the proposed Cabin John and
Alexandria bridges. These are essentially
designed to carry traffic around Washing
ton, rather than through It, But the Will
bur Smith study indicates that neither
bypass route would carry enough trafnc
to make tolls practicable.
So the search for other ways of financ-
Ing Cabin John bridge apparently will
have to be extended into other fields. (The
Jones Point bridge at Alexandria already
has been authorized and the Federal Gov
ernment has agreed to pay for it, Fort
unately, all Jurisdictions involved in the
Cabin John project have evidenced will
ingness to join in solving the problem.
This is long step forward. In the past
Maryland and Virginia have shown little
interest in bridge financing in this area.
Yet both States will benefit by such an
up-river crossing as that contemplated for
the Cabin John area. It is only right that
they should share in the construction costs.

Mr.. CIoque Renon1inoted

An editorial feature in The Star sew
eral years ago remarked that "the only
stock in trade the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics has is its integrity" It was valid
comment, because the data assembled and
distributed by the BIS has an important
bearing upon labor relations contracts and
multitude of other calculations vital to
the Nations business. It might serve sell
fish interests we'll, but it would serve the
public interest poorly, if this bureau al
lowed itself to be swayed by political con-
siderations or any other influences off the
beam Of strict objectivity and impartiality.
Fortunately, it does not do so and the
capable guardian of this integrity since
1946 has been Evan Clague, veteran Gov
ernment economist. Mr. Clague's second
term as head of the bureau expired last
summer and his reappointment has been
blocked since then by an objection raised
in the Senate
The objection now has been withdrawn
and President Eisenhower last week re-
nominated Mr.. Clague for another four
year term. 1t is good appointment and
the Senate should confirm it without fur
ther delay.

The cats Of America are
purring vigorously these days,
after the fortnight statement
Of Gov. McKeldin Of Maryland,
in vetoing a bill for their IL
censing and control in Prince
Georges County.
1.-THE cat Is, by nature, q
roamer and prowler," said the
Governor. land prefers the
gentle cover of the night, both
for reasons of romance and
pursuit Of prey.
"The tendency to license. to
limit, to control, to regulate
and restrain is too common,
and often too easy of accom-
plishment, in our modern
society.
LET us respect, rather than
resent. that animal which,
though adapted to domeSticity,
still retains a commendable de-
gree of independence and a
lasting love of liberty"
X 4 y X
Gov. McKeldin pointed out
that the bill passed by the re-
cent Maryland General AS
sembly was not specific as to
how or why cats should be
regulated. and said: "The cat
is related, even though dis
family, to the lion, lynx, tiger,
leopard. puma and others of
the genus Felis, which still
enjoy the largesse of unlimited
liberty in their native habitat"
He continued. in phrases
which should be outlined in
fur:
Some would argue, I sup
pose, that the cat is a menace
to bird life.
while there is some truth
in this, 1t is even more true
that the birds have the gift
Of fight, and it is rare indeed
that the feathered visitors in
rural or urban neighborhoods
fall prey to the hunting cat.
ITO deal with those cats
who revert to a state of Wild
ness and take to the woods
in search of nourishment, the
responsibility properly rests
with our protectors of game"
Il X 4 4
You can be sure, If the
cats could vote, they would
all vote for Gov. McKeldin.
Others of their friends are
pleased that once again an
official in a responsible posi-
tion has risen to their de-
fenSe.
He is not the first COVER
nor to do it, nor will he be
the last.

shows that we need the pic

Increase Of wool production
Of sheep almost one-third over
a three-month period by in
jections Of the growth hor-
none from OK pituitary glands
has just been reported by an
Australian physiologist.
DR.. K. A. Ferguson of the
University Of Sydney, now at
Cambridge, describes the ex-
pertinent in Nature, organ of
the British Association for Ad-
vancement of Science. In the
first test two groups of sheep
were used, each fed exactly
the same food. One group was
given minute injections Of the
OK hormone daily for II days.
In the first week after the in
jections we're started wool
growth in this group increased
II per cent over that of the
sheep that received no injec-
tions. This growth increased
progressively for II weeks after
the injections were stopped.
finally reaching 30 per cent
over that in the controls.
Growth Continued
In another group the in
creased growth continued for
20 weeks after the end Of the
injections in two breeds Of
sheep. In a third group, how
ever, the growth increase
stopped as soon as the injec-
tions were stopped.
The hormone used was the
growth hormone from the an
terror lobe of the pituitary.
which presumably is chemi-
cally the same among all NAM
mails. The increased growth
while the injections were tax
ing place might have been ex-
pected. The long-continued
effect, DR.. Ferguson says, per-
haps Is due to the effect Of the
OK hormone in stimulating the
pituitary glands Of the sheep
themselves to secrete more Of
the hormone. There was no

Law of Insanity

The significant thing about the report
of a special committee of the District
Council on Law Endorsements report
now awaiting further action-is the flnd-
ing that recent decisions by the United
States Court of Appeals have created a
dangerous imbalance" in the law in favor
of the accused.
Four Of the courts rulings were stud
led by the special committee. Without
questioning the correctness, as a matter
of law, Of the courts decisions, the COM
mittee nevertheless found that the public
interest has not been adequately protected.
George L. Hart, jr., committee chair
man, said the objective of his group was
to determine whether there is proper
balance between the interests Of the public
and of the accused. 1--WE concluded" he
said, that there is not proper balance.
We concluded there was a dangerous i'm

Dispersed Production Base

Secretary OF Air Force Talbot has
made logical point in his suggestion
that further expansion of the aircraft
manufacturing industry should take place
in areas less vulnerable to possible enemy
attack than the East and West Coast
States. In normal times, concentration
Of any industry near its best sources Of
raw materials and greatest supply Of suit
able labor has obvious economic advan-
tages. These are not normal times, how
ever, and the importance of the aircraft
industry to national security introduces
an element that supersedes that of sheer
economy
The controversy that has followed Mr..
Talbott's proposal, however, gives time
illness to recent survey by the aircraft
industry Of the relatively wide dispersion
already existing in its production base.
For example, spot checks of the major
manufacturers show that an. average Of
so per cent of dollar volume of prime con-
tracts goes to subcontractors and suppliers
scattered throughout every State in the
country. Many Of these are small firms
and three-fourths Of fiscal 1854 Air Force
contracts went to concerns employing
fewer than 500 persons. The products of
more than 10000 firms ended on the as
sembly lines of one West Coast fighter
aircraft manufacturer. 1t is this final
destination, of course, that constitutes the
potentially dangerous bottleneck. At the
same time, the dispersion of subcontractors
offers a ready-made base on which the
prime contracting plants might be more
effectively scattered.

below 75." Although the ar
ticle hastened to acknowledge
that many colored children
have not had the same back
grounds as the whites. the less
thoughtful or casual reader
might infer that the retarda-
ton Is due to racial mental
1nferiority.
I should like to dispel any
such misunderstanding by
quoting the sociologist, Otto
Kleinberg, in his Race Dif-
ferences."
THE direct comparison be-
tween Negroes and whites will
always remain a doubtful pro-
cedure because Of the impossi-
bility of controlling the vari-
Gus factors which may inf1u-
ence the results. Intelligence
tests may therefore not be
used to measure group differ
enceS in native ability"
1t should also be noted that
an intelligence test is not a
measure of ones mental Ca
pacity. but rather of ones
achievements. Since 1t has
been conceded that the Negro
child has not been exposed to
the same advantageous condi-
tions, how can it be expected
that his achievement will be
as high?

deterioration in the quality Of
the wool and normal growth
did not slow down after the
effect Of the injections had
ended. DR.. Ferguson stressed.
This method of stimulating
wool growth is not proposed
as a practical measure at
present, however. since 1t must
be confirmed with much more
work on other breeds Of sheep.
There has been no study Of
the economics involved.
Between one and two thou
sand fireflies would be re-
quired to produce as much
light as one ordinary candle.
This has been determined
by General Electric Co. scien-
fists after measuring the light
output Of thousands Of these
insects which make such an
apparently brilliant display On
warm summer evenings.
Tiny Bit Of Light
They determined that the
average light output Of q fire-
fly was only six thouSandths
Of a lumen. and the brightest
Of the little bugs produced
nine thousandths of a lumen.
A lumen is a standard light
measurement. The average CO.
watt electric light bulb pro-
duced 1856 lumens. It would
require $4,000 lightning bugs,
all flashing simultaneously, to
produce that much.
The experiments were un.
dertaken with the view of pro-
ducing a freely lamp" which
will be used for special pur-
poses, such as indicating the
location of articles in a dark
room without the necessity OF
turning on the room lights.
No electric light can be quite
as effective as a firefly. The
insect converts into light
about SO per cent Of all the
energy it employs.
