q better understanding of basic

Possible inhabitants of Mars

which continued to evolve along
the same path in which they
Started instead of stepping aside
for more efficient patterns, as
did their counterparts on earth.
There is a lot more to human
heredity than is generally be-
lieved, DR.. Steven G. Vanden-
berg, University of Michigan
psychologist, reported to the in
stitute. He has worked with As
pairs Of identical twins-pro-
duced from the same egg cell
and hence with precisely the
same heredity and compared
them with 81 pairs of fraternal
twins who are no more likely
to be the same than any other
brothers and sisters.
Hereditary Tastes
When both Of a pair of iden-
tical twins shows axactly the
same behavior, this can fairly be
attributed to heredity. This ex-
tends, he said. to such things as
tastes in music, ability to read
and spell and choice Of vocation.
II one does not like a particular
food it will be found invariably
that the other shares the dislike,
There are sometimes unbeliev-
liable condolences, he said. For
example. two identical twins liy-
ling apart with no communica-
tion. have been known to buy ex-
actly the same article Of clothing
lat exactly the same time.
Slightly more than / per cent
of the population are identical
twins. DR.. Vandenberg said. They
constitute. however, about two
lfifths Of all twins.

There is Q weird race Of plant.

Ithey are. Few ever have seer
them. although they are quits

They are one Of natures dis

species Of these strange creature,
before the American Institute
Iof Biological Sciences today al
Michigan State University.
These animals, or plants, arr
the slime molds. Through the
lmilleniums since life began they
Ihaye remained at the crossroad,
from which life's two great king
tdoms went their separate ways
They might have gone the way
of the plants or the animals
Instead, they stayed put.

Explained. There were various
possible evolutionary roads to-
ward complex animals anc
plants with millions of cells, al
co-ordinated into one system.
The slime mold organism
starts out as millions OF com,

It is almost fashionable today
to say that something is wrong
with the machinery Of internal
security. But the basic problem
is not the machine itself. It is
its design. or, rather, the lack
Of 1t.
No ofhcial body has ever both
cred to determine precisely what
the machine is supposed to do
and where 1t is supposed to stop.
To be sure, there Is q general
impression that the machine is
supposed to, protect tactical Sc
crets and that 1t should keep
foreign agents and unsuitable
citizens from sensitive jobs.
But for several years panic
over security has permitted the
machine to wander over the ma
tional scene at the command of
anyone with ambition to grab
the controls. turning out results
willy-nilly and threatening to be-
come a kind of haphazard law
of the land.
In the resulting confusion
Government itself has been hurt,
producing decentralization at pre-
cisely the time defense most de-
pended on high morale.
But the effects have gone far
beyond official agencies. Pro-
lection of secrets is a necessary
but only secondary consideration
in the world today. True ma
tional security must begin with
a reservoir of talented, we'll
trained minds devoted to indi-
vidual freedom. Without such
a creative community only in
significant plans, mediocre ma
chimes and obsolescent secrets
will ever need protection.
Because security has become
involved in party politics, there
would seem much to recommend
a high-level, non-partisan COM
mission. Its members might rep
resent competence in foreign re-
lations science, jurisprudence,
espionage. and civil liberties.
among other things. Only then
could the Government make in
telligent basic changes.
Problems continue to exist out
side of official procedure. For
one thing, millions have fallen
under the myth of 100 per cent
security"
Dangerous Myth
This myth is the basis for pro-
visions in the Walter-McC Carran
immigration Act which presup-
poses that America has more to
gain from isolation. The myth
also presupposes that the Gov
ernment can guarantee perfect
protection against disloyalty any
where in the United States. The
Government certainly should
protect itself. But bitter ex-
perience shows that no govern
ment can buy perfect protec-
ton. Even more bitter expert
ence shows that only a police
state is designed to attempt such
futile protection and that the
attempt in modern times has al
ways led to disaster.
Consequently. it has been said
that the most profitable and
effective internal security sys-
TEN is one that covers a we'll
defined, small area. This would
seem important for philosophical
reasons and practical ones, as
we'll. There are not enough wise
and knowledgeable security Off
GERS to watch everyone every
where. The wider the coverage
the more incompetence and the
weaker the protection. Today the
United States is drifting rapidly
toward a general and diffuse
security of doubtful effectiveness.
The ideal of large numbers of
men indicted-the policeman's
dream-has tended to replace the
ideal of many good men at work
the requisite for a successful
modern democracy.
Improving the quality Of Sc
