Triumphant Buns

Everybody who likes baseball, what
ever the nature of his team partisanship,
must have gotten a thrill out of yester-
days climactic World Series contest.
That was sports spectacle for the books:
The underdog Brooklyn Dodgers not only
whipping the mighty Yankees but doing
1t the hard way. No other pennant win
ner in baseball history had ever lost the
first two games Of seven-game World
Series and then gone on to win the
championship.
So the much-abused Buns deserve
the glory in which they are basking to-
day. There is glory enough for all Of
the players and their able manager, with
a special allotment to Johnny Podres,
the youthful pitcher who coolly Shackled
the Yankees inning after inning, to
emerge with an amazing two-to-nothing
victory The upset of the formidable
Yanks will stimulate new interest in the
game at the site of the subway series"
and should be good for baseball by pro-
noting keener interleague rivalry.

Hold 1t Up Again

Just about year ago the Commis-
sioners decided to hold up plans for a
new tuberculosis hospital while they re-
examined the evidence supporting its
need. In January. of this year, on the
basis OF evidence that seemed overwhelm-
Ing, the planning was resumed, The
$3.4 million hospital, an addition to
District General Hospital providing 800
T.B. beds, has been approved by Con-
gress part of the public works program.
The need for this hospital is being
seriously questioned again by the same
physicians in both private and public
practice who were convinced, less than
a year ago, that the hospital should be
built. There are 80 vacant beds at Glenn
Dale, and talk that Glenn Dale may be-
come white elephant" There are less
than 200 TB. patients at D. C. General,
q drop of so since last spring. There are
only 10 patients at Freedman'S, where
there were so last spring. This trend is
not unique in Washington, but is evi-
dent elsewhere. There are no pat ex-
plantations, but the increasing use Of new
drugs and development of chest surgery,
together with more home instead Of hos
pttai care, are emptying hospital beds
that were filled short time ago.
It is true that the new hospital was
designed for the treatment of other
chronic diseases, should tuberculosis
cease to be an important public health
problem. Yet, because of the financial
situation now facing the District. the
Commissioners would be justified in
holding up any contract for its early
construction. Struggling as they are with
threatened deficits. the Commissioners
can deal only with necessities concerning
which there is no doubt. u

Currently. In some quarters.
there seems to be some mis-
understanding as to the proper
constitution of the Arlington
County School Board. and /
would like to shed some light
in this area.
The Arlington County school
plant is but a part Of the en-
tire Virginia State school sys-
tenn which was established
pursuant to the requirements
Of the State Constitution
adopted in 1869. and which
still rests firmly on funda-
mental organic law. Section
129 of the constitution pro-
vides that "the General AS
sembly shall establish and
maintain an efiicient system
Of public free schools through
out the State" This is q clear
and positive mandate. Other
constitutional provisions and
statutes merely amplify and
implement this basic law.
The Arlington County
School Board Is not just an
other local agency, or another
local board, but Is an agency
Of the State Of Virginia. As

Use of Informers

Federal law enforcement omclalS
apparently are becoming seriously con-
cerned by attacks on the use OF under
cover informers in criminal cases. This,
at least, is the obvious inference to be
drawn from recent addresses to the Inter-
national Association Of Chiefs Of Police
by j. Edgar Hoover of the FBI and
william F. Tompkins, Assistant Attorney
General in charge of the Internal Secur-
ity Division.
Perhaps they have reason for con-
Germ. Informers have been used for
centuries, however, by every police agency
in the world. Although repugnant to
many people, It is an investigative tech
nique which is accepted in our courts and
which quite probably is essential in the
never-ending struggle between the GRIM
inal and the law.
It ought to be emphasized at this
point that Messrs. Hoover and Tompkins
were talking about the use of informerS
in criminal cases. These informers may
merely furnish tips upon which further
investigation is based. Or, If they are
witnesses, they must appear in open court
dIIU bLACAloC1NCo w uAAC oNAA uSoS
of cross examination and the penalties
for perjury This is quite a different
situation from the typical security risk
case in which information may be used
from an undercover informant whose
identity is not known even to the board
conducting the hearing.
It is true, of course, that attempts
are being made TO diScredjt the use OF
informers even in criminal cases, especi-
ally cases involving the Communist
Party This is to be expected from the
Communists, ard perhaps from those
whom Mr. Hoover rather vaguely de-
scribes as pseudo liberals"
There is little likelihood, however,
that attacks from such sources can
cripple the Government in its use Of
informers. The real danger lies in the
Evening star., 1955-10-05

possibility that the system may be de-
stroyed. at least in public opinion, by Its
own flaws. Nothing could be more harm
full than to put an informer on the stand
as witness and then, at some later date,
have him repudiate his own testimony.
This has happened often enough to sng-
gest that the greatest care should be
exercised In selecting informers and in
using their testimony. No doubt Mr..
Hoover and Mr. Tompkins feel that this
is already being done. It Is regrettable,
however, that neither speaker dealt with
this aspect of the matter in talking to
the police chiefs.

distaste for water.
Another factor is the mod

Germ killers may be neces-

Addition of rat poison, or
fiuoride, on the dubious as

from the taste of the best

All that can be said, per-

He says that commonly we

II We cut down on the

warmed up a bit. Then it will
taste much better, they de-
clare.

Age identification is an i'm
portant problem for the inn
migration service. There is
some likelihood that q few inn
migrants enter the United
States on permits issued to
somebody else. They may be
subversive agents who have
done away with the original
permit holders.
There are numerous skeletal
criteria for determining age,
not by itself completely con-
elusive but a combination Of
which has q high reliability.
DR.. T. D. Stewart. Smithsonian
Institution curator Of physical
anthropology. and DR.. Mildred
Trotter of Washington Uni
versity, st. Louis, have just
issued a compilation of the
major researches in this field.
Fingerprintfng Just One Way
Much of the data for age
determination Is in existence,
DR. Stewart says. Some Of it
is highly reliable. some quite
unreliable. It depends largely
on study Of the bones. The
same is true Of identification.
In the latter field. for example,
flngerprinting is fairly reliable.
If previous fingerprint records
exist for the same individual.
The claim that no two persons
ever have precisely the same
fingerprint pattern probably IS
quite justified, DR.. Stewart
says. There are. however.
many other individual diff
ferences for which the same
claim can be made. Such,
for example, are the air sinuses
in the mastoid bones. the pat
tern Of which never is precisely
the same in two persons.
Accurate impressions Of the
teeth, in which all the con-
tours of the original teeth are
recorded, can be just as re-
liable as fingerprints.
The blood group to which .
person belongs can be deter
mined long after death from
the bones.

extended to the northern limits
of the United States and into

This can be expected. ac-
cording to q report by DR.. v.
L. Loosanon OF the United
States Fish and Wildlife Serv-
ice, from the successful intro
duction Of the common Euro
pean oyster which can survive
and propagate ct . consider
ably lower temperature than
the native variety.
Tests In Maine Successful
The first shipment Of 1000
live European oysters was
brought to America approx
imately i've years ago and
since has been observed care
fully at the Milford, Conn,
station Of the Fish and Wild
Life Service. On the whole
the mollusks have done well.
Tests have been carried out
at four locations along the
coast Of Maine which have
been quite successful.
It has been necessary, how
ever, to proceed with consid-
erable caution. DR.. Loosanon
says in his report. AS with
any introduced species. there
is always the possibility Of the
newcomers running Wild"
with resultant elimination Of
the native variety. There is
also the possibility Of intro
ducing pests.
An example Of the first
danger, he points out. was the
war" between the Atlantic
Coast oyster of Europe-the
type now brought here-and
the Portuguese oyster about
the middle of the 10th century.
The latter previously had been
confined to the Mediterranean.
As soon as it gained a foot
hold on the coast Of France,
however, the native oyster be-
gan to, disappear completely
over large areas. The new
comers were more prolific.
they grew faster. and they
pumped more water. Thus
they soon deprived the natives
Of living space and food.
oysters. like all other ami
mails, are subject to pests.
DR.. Loosanof points out. Over
centuries in one environment
a balance is struck so that
both mollusk and pest survive.
But when the latter is brought
to q new environment the
natural factors which have
tended to keep it under con-
troll do not exist and there
may be an explosive outbreak.

Julius Ochs Adler

Not many men can devote themselves
successfully to two careers. But julius
Ochs Adler made his mark both as a
newspaperman and as soldier.
AS a captain In World War I, he
led his company in notable assault on
Hill 1872. When the fight was over Cap
tain Adler's command was reduced to 20
electives, but the position had been
taken and numerically superior Ger
man force routed. This same sense aof
devotion to duty led him back to combat
service in World War II, then to major
generals stars and into the postwar
struggle for an adequate program OF
military training. II this last effort has
fallen short of its objective, no one can
say that General Adler and his associates
were responsible for the shortcoming.
His newspaper career was capped by
appointment as vice president and gen.
eral manager of The New York Times and
as president and publisher of the Chat
tanooga Times. AS these titles suggest,
his newspaper work was basically on the
business and mechanical sides. But he
was no stranger to typewriter as is
attested by the colorful dispatches to
The Times which he wrote as special
correspondent covering the Japanese
surrender.
General Adler won many honors dur
ing his So years. But perhaps his finest
monument is the characterize un-
swerving devotion to truth and fair-deal-
ing-of the two newspapers whose poll
cies he helped mold. His untimely death
is severe loss, not only to his large COM
pany Of personal friends, but to the
whole national community.

Templeton Jones says very
few people use straight water
any more for thirst quenching.
They mix 1t with something.
All drinks, including the
so-called soft drink. have some
water In them. but there seems
to be q demand from today's
public for some sort Of taste,
too.
Hence flavor. The word
"uuench,'' which is a queer
one, comes from Middle Eng
lish "quenchen." from the
Anglo-Saxon.
It was applied first to q
fire. but finally came around
to desires. etc.
Today its best use is in
quenching a thirst Of some
sort.
Americans, at least, talk
about putting out a ire. rath-
er than quenching 1t.
II one says "quench" four
times rapidly. 1t is very easy
to see how odd q word 1t Is.
Lack of flavor in plain water
accounts, no doubt. for its dis
appearance as q beverage.
There are many die-hards,
Of course. Everywhere are
health-first people who say
that most people do not
drink enough water. and no
doubt they are right; and
then they go on to try to
make up the deficit personally.
Others declare there is no
need for extra water drinking,
that this is -one thing nature
still takes care Of accu ately.
Poor nature! She no longer
knows. at least in hurnc I ma
ture, how to get us to eat
good foods.
She tolerates smoke being
poured into our lungs. when all
other animals, Of two or four
legs, run as if the very devil
were after them at the very
first smell of smoke.
But somehow nature is
supposed to keep complete
control overNour water needs.
If we need moisture in our
innards, nature makes us
thirsty. If we do not. canny
nature sends UP no thirst
signals.
y - X
This may be true. but there
will never be any letup in the
perpetual argument between
the water drinkers ana tne
nonwater drinkers.
One group says nothing but
water will do. straight, no
orange Juice In it, no coffee
or tea. They throw up their
hands at any dilution of plain
water.
Many persons have found
out that two glasses Of water,
when they awake. say an hour
before breakfast, is a good
health habit.
One man has even written
a book to prove that this will
keep a person from catching
a cold.
The lack Of taste in water
seems to stem from childhood,
when sweetened drinks are
served.
Once q child gets that sweet
taste. water seems to him nat
and tasteless.
No doubt the American
vogue for cold drinks o. al
