Red Wooers in Asio

The Kremlin's abiding political, ecO-
nonlic and military interest In Southeast
Asia is now being dramatized, quite
ostentatiously. by Premier Nikolai Bull
ganin and Nikita Khrushchev, boss Of
Eussia's Communist Party. Together
with large group Of aides, these two
peregrinating members Of the Soviet
hierarchy will be transforming In India
for the next fortnight After that, they
will spend week in Burma, and from
there they will 90 to Afghanistan for q
visit OF several days. All told, they will
be away on this wooing trip for at least
a month, which Is an extraordinary
Rmount Of time for government leaders
to devote to such q Understanding
enough, in fact, to indicate that they
attach great Importance to 1t and expect
to md it more than little profitable.
One Of the trips big objectives, Of
course, is undoubtedly to exploit the re-

gion's widespread ''neutralist" sentiment.
More often than not, that sentiment
seems to favor the Soviet Union against
the West, and Mr.. Khrushchev and Mar
shall Bulganin can be- counted upon to
do everything possible to encourage its
further growth in way calculated to
promote the subversiye and aggressive
Communist conspiracy in that part Of
the world. To that end, they are likely
to make numerous gestures including
offers of economic aid. and perhaps even
arms-to win friends and influence
people who should know better. Nor
should such wooing be scoffed at. Ger
tainly. If only from the propaganda
standpoint. it may create vexatious new
problems for the Southeast Asia defense
alliance (SEATo), whose members have
every reason to take decidedly dim and
suspicious view of this kind OF Red

stitute Of Technology, dispenses
altogether With the necessity
Of heat conversion. The prob
lem is to how great an extent
can the efficiency be raised.
The Bell battery is essen
tally independent of clouds.
The suns rays which are most
efficiently converted are in the
deep red of the solar spec
trum, Just on the edge of the
invisible infrared. These rays
come through cloud cover with
very little diminution. Sur
plus electricity produced dur
ing the day can be stored for
use at night.
The energy Of the sun is in
finite In amount and, so far
as the human race is con-
cerned, eternal. Trapped di-
rectly, it should cost nothing
beyond the cost OF the mech
anisms found essential.
Battery's Life Span Unknown
$50 far as practical uses are
concerned" say the Bell SCI
entists, "the chief interest is in
how a battery will perform over
a long period. Since only a rel-
atively short time has elapsed
since the invention of the de-
vice there is no exact informa-
ton on length of life. 1t may
be Of interest, however. that in
one Of the first demonstrations
a solar battery was used to
power a motor turning a small
disk. This disk has been spin
ming continuously under ordi-
nary indoor lighting for the
past year."
A major problem ahead Is
the appropriate size of q solar
battery for practical use. The
device consists Of q number Of
silicon cells which trap the
solar energy and, in theory.
the greater the number of cells
used the greater the power
produced. A battery, however,
might soon become extremely
large and perhaps impossibly
expensive. A major part of the
experimental work to date,
however, has been on con-.
struction of more efficient cells.
The Bell scientists them
selves are quite cautious in
their predictions. They ex-
press considerable confidence.
however, that the solar battery
eventually will have a wide, If
somewhat specialized, use In
industry.
It remains. however. the
nearest approach yet made to
direct utilization Of the enor-
nous energy Of the sun to turn
the wheels and light the cities
Of the earth some day.

Preserve the Porkwoy

AS its name suggests, the Washing
ton-Baltimore Boulevard Improvement
Association Is concerned with the problem
Of reducing accident hazards on the old
Baltimore pike" 1t proposes to do this
by transferring much Of the heavy truck
traffic to the new Washington Baltimore
Parkway. But 1t is overlooking the very
important fact that the parkway, q Fed
eral project, was built for passenger
traf1ic only-by direction of Congress.
Even If 1t were desirable to open the
parkway to truck traf1ic-and present
parkway users would never agree that 1t
was deSirable-it would be impracticable
to do so. For, In accordance with the
legislative edict, the Federal portion Of
the parkway was not designed or built
to Withstand interstate truck traffic.
Interior Secretary Mckay would like
to rid his department of the response
bihty and expense of maintaining the
parkway, presumably for economy rea-
sons. He has offered to turn the road
over to Maryland, although the details
of such proposed transfer of Federal
property have not been disclosed. Mary
land built its section of the parkway on
al heavier base than that Of the Federal
part, and permits trucks to use the State
controlled stretch. between Baltimore and
Jessup If Congress were to approve a
gift of the Federal parkway to Maryland,
the problem Of rebuilding the road to
handle tractor -trailer-type loads would
be a formidable one for the State. Per-
haps that is one reason why Maryland
50 far has failed to accept Secretary
McKay's offer.
It is understandable that residents
and merchants along the dangerously
congested Baltimore boulevard are anx-
ious to relieve trafhc conditions there.
TO do so at the expense Of a fine new.
passenger parkway, however, does not
make sense.

Longer May She Wave.

My initial trip to Washington
several years ago was marked
by my impression of the beau
ty Of the city as seen from
the hill near the Navy's Ar
lington annex. The most inn
pressive thing from that point
was the sight Of our national
flag flying from each OF the
public buildings In range.
Swapping in the fall breeze
and brilliant in the late-sum-
mer sunlight, this was q sight
to be remembered. Now, as q
resident Of the area, / am
ashamed to learn that the
flags fly from our public build
ings for the most part from
8-5 pm. on working days only.
On Saturdays and Sundays
the absence Of this lovely sym
Dol Of our pride and heritage
makes the city look drab and
bare.
/ suggest that your paper
might endeavor to bring this
matter to the attention Of our
officials In order that all who
visit our seat Of government
may have before them the
sight Of the Offices of our Gov
eminent properly identified
and adorned. This also would
furnish each day to all Of us
during the daylight hours o
reminder Of the country and
people that we serve. Let's
have a campaign to fly the
flag from sunup till sundown
seven days a week, on each
structure in the Nations Cap
ital which houses us who labor
for the public good,

Daniel j. Tobin

Dan Tobin, dead at 50, was one OF the
real pioneers in the American labor
movement. For nearly half-century he
was president OF the Teamsters Union,
leading it to point where IT has become
not only powerful and prosperous In labor
ranks but important In its influence
within the national economy During
this career, MIR. Tobin's every action bore
the marks Of his great personal energy
and vigor. He was partisan, not q
neutralist, in the field of organized labor
and what he considered to be labor's role
In the national economy. He wss COM
parably fortnight in his attitude toEard
national politics and what he felt to be
Iabor's stake In politics. AS an avowed
Democrat, he served as chairman Of the
party's Labor Division In four successful
presidential campaigns. This close identi-
fcation with politics spanned the admin
istrations Of the late President Franklin
D. Roosevelt and Of former President
Truman.
Aside from his concern for building
q stronger Teamsters Union, Mr.. Tobin
had two other major preoccupations
within the labor movement. One was to
drive Communist influence out OF organ
lied labor. Communists were barred from
his own union and he was an uncompro-
missing enemy of pro-C Communist leader
ships IN other unions. A second preoccu-
patton was to build up the American
Federation OF Labor, of which he was an
influential vice president, and TO bring
about unity within the labor movement.
In the latter cause, he participated In
several rounds Of peace negotiations be-
tween the AFL and the CIO and between
the Federation and the independent
United Mine Workers. ALI in all, Mr..
Tobins influence in the growth Of the
American labor movement has been a
significant one. and it viii be lasting
one.

The sun battery Of Bell Tele-
phone Laboratories, first in
troduced before the National
Academy of Sciences here
more than a year ago as little
more than a laboratory curl
osity, now has been almost
doubled in efficiency and may
be nearing the stage Of lin
tied commercial use.
1t is a device by which sun
shine is converted directly into
electricity which either can be
used directly or to charge q
storage battery. When intro
duced, 1t was able to convert
a maximum Of 6 per cent Of
the solar radiation falling upon
it. Now this has been in
creased to IL per cent. Work
necessarily is slow and there
remain many hurdles to in
crease this efficiency. accord
ing to q report by Drs. d. M.
Chaplin, c. s. Fuller and c. L.
Pearson, who co-operated in
building the original battery.
They stress, however, that
sit is still a laboratory device
constructed from costly raw
materials by means of a COM
plex technology" There are
possibilities, however, that 1t
win be used In some types of
rural telephone systems.
From the first announce
ment, however, 1t was generally
proclaimed as q possible scien-
tific attainment Of enormous
Importance. Although q few
scientists look for the major
power source Of the future In
atomic energy, q growing body
looks to the potentially in
finitely vaster and cheaper
source. electricity from the
sun. as the ultimate answer.
World Conference Slated
Many schemes have been
proposed. They will be ex-
plored thoroughly at a world
conference in Arizona this
fall. The majority, however,
have suffered from q major
weakness. 1t has been neces-
sary to use the solar energy
to produce heat, in turn to
produce steam or electricity.
The same difficulty pertains
to atomic energy utilization.
In the case of solar energy
this would require enormous
and quite costly installations.
The problem is being investi-
gated. however, all over the
world as objections against
atomic energy have mounted.

Good News,

In their latest report on results
achieved by the Salk antipoliomyeliti
vaccine, experts of the United States
Public Health Service have been hard
put to contain their optimism, and with
good reason. For the report, though
tentative and subject to later correction,
strongly indicates that the day Is fast
approaching when polio's crippling and
Killing scourge win be wholly eradicated,,
or at least reduced to q minor aiiment
perhaps even less bothersome than the
common cold.
Thus, In their newest analysis of
Nationwide statistical studies, the ex-
perts have found that the Incidence Of
paralytic polio has been spectacularly
reduced (from so to 80 per cent? even
among children who have received only
one shot Of the Salk vaccine instead Of
the recommended three shots Further,
varying from State to State, the findings
show that the attack rates for the Grip
ping form of the disease have been "from
two to hve times greater in the unvac-
cinated than the vaccinated children"
AS one of the experts has put 1t, "the
consistency of good results is the good
news, regardless OF geography, exposure
To epidemics, or use OF vaccine from
different laboratories"
In view of all this, and in view Of the
fact that more potent refinement Of
the Salk vaccine Is expected, 1t is UNDER
standable that a distinguished student
Of the disease doctor who has re-
qiIested anonymity has bet colleague
that only 100 Americans will be para
ltzed by polio In 1857, as against 5000
tb $4,000 in the worst epidemic years Of
the past. This may prove to be too
enthusiastic an estimate, but 1t is a
good measure of the great and heart
warming victory that science now seems
assured Of winning over what has been
one Of mans most dreaded affiictions.
