Science
.Man-Mude Diamonds

IVAAll-lNA@sS e~teatttSilNA@
Man has passed one of the i'm
portant landmarks in his search
for knowledge about his world.
General Electric announced this
week that scientists working at
its research laboratory at Sche-
nectc 'v, N. Y, have succeeded
in producing diamonds exactly
like natures own.
They did it by combining in
the laboratory, in a way they
refrained from explaining in
complete detail, the elements
nature itself uses deep within
the earth: carbon, pressure and
heat.
| By every test, the laboratory
diamonds are indistinguishable
from those dug from mines in
1 Africa or Brazil.
However, there is no present
danger the scientists will com
lpete with nature in the gem
trade. AS yet the biggest arti-
Ifcial diamond produced weigh:
only a fraction of'a carat, and it,
production cost is at least twice
that of a natural diamond of the
same size.
If the cost can be reduced, th'
{ value of the artificial diamond
| process will be in filling the de
! mand for industrial diamonds
/ Some 21z 'ons of this type ar
elmined annually, with the Unite
States importing about 80 pc
e cent of that total at a price G
: about so million dollars yeal
nj They are used in tools to Gu
r steel or rock and perform score
a of other industrial tasks.
: The discovery has an impoI
el tant bearing on national defensr
Industry would be vitality al
n fected in a national emergenc
hif war or blockade cut it 0
i from its overseas diamond SUI
Le ply. With artificial productio
ie possible, the country could g
along without imports.

Editors Note

Criticism from the Soviet
press is nothing new for
William L. Ryan, AP spe-
cialist on Russia. Before
Stain died his conclusion
that a Soviet budget con-
tanned many hidden mili-
tary items brought a charge
of "scurrilous" writing.
Most attacks have been
mild, dealing with isolated
paragraphs. But only a
week ago Pravda singled
him out for what it called
his nervous attack" on So
Wet peace" policies.
Ryan visited Russia for
three months in 1858. His
factual reporting at that
time brought no criticism
from the Red press, but
some East German newspa-
pers attacked him bitterly.

Larger Influence
Nevertheless, the merger of
the CIO Political Action Com
mittee and the AFL League
for Political Education, through
which the two organizations
have sought to influence cleo
tions in recent years, was a cor
ollary Of the larger agreement.
It would give the leaders a con-
centrated Organizational infiu-
ence for the political organiza-
ton they now lack, and may
have been one Of the chief rea-
sons for q frame of mind which
could settle unionism differences
between them.
For some time now the rank.
Of labor have been divided II
three major ways, not to men
ton John L. Lewis and his
independent coal miners, or tht
railway brotherhoods whicl
stood aloof. The AFL and th'
CIO have been competing TO
members. and there has been
long and bitter leadership figh
within the CIO, making it
house divided.
Accent on Expansion
(There is now some talk tina
the brotherhoods might join tn
great national organization if, a
planned, it succeeds in main
tanning real autonomy for indi
vidual unions as promised tn
CIO. Lewis might also try t
ejoin back" but it was he VIII
split the CIO from the AFL 2
years ago, and there is stron
sentiment against putting hir
into any sort Of disruptive posi-
ton again)

The Russians accused this
writer of falling to point out
that Molotov made a peaceful"
report to the Supreme Soviet.
It might be recalled that he
brandished a hydrogen bomb
and announced that in the event
of war the entire capitalist
world would be wiped from the
face of the earth.
I AS a background for his So
called peaceful" report, the
world had just been treated to
the spectacle Of the Soviet
Union ordering all its industrial
'I forces turned toward the pro-
{ lduction of heavy industry to in
] crease the might" of the Soviet
: Union.
Frustrated Giant
1t probably wasn't the lack
of a graceful bow IN the 'direc-
: ton Of Molotov's peacefulness
which annoyed the Soviet press
so much, however. More likely
tilt was an expression Of the idea
: that with all the clustering talk,
: Soviet policy still seems to pro-
IS coed from fear and desperation
that in effect Soviet policy /:

A month or so later, another
Extremely important conference
will be convened, with both the

suited in debasing the quality of
educational controversy from the
natural state of democratic dis
agreement about real issues to a
loud and angry appeal for the use
of prejudice, coercion and bigotry."
Four Major Sections
"Crisis in the Classroom" is di-
vided into four major sections,
each of which discusses pressing
problems in contemporary Ameri-
can education. Among the issues
discussed in Part l, Public Edu-
cation Under Attack" is the nature
of the attack, the widespread eff
feet of the attacks and the signifi-
canoe of public education in our
American democracy. The critical
issues of academic freedom and
the censorship of textbooks are
treated in Part II, Academic Free

the exact number of Jews in the
United States, the surveys pro-
jections are based on widely ac-
cepted estimates. These estimates
place the total Jewish population
in the nation at five million. A to-
tai of 3,79,80O-or 1853 per cent
live in the Is states and two cities
possession effective fair employ
-ment statutes.
Figures on the non-white popu-
lation are more detailed in the
survey, since they are taken from
the United States Census for 1850.
While the non-white group includes
Indians, persons of Asian ancestry
and others, the study asserts, the
greater number by far are Negroes.
Of the national total of 15,755,333
listed as non-whites in the Census,
a total of 15,042,28 are Negroes.
Of this overall national total OF
non-white population, some $685.
9O1 live in the Is states and two
cities. Thus, only 20.4 per cent of
the country's non-white principal
ly Negro) population may be con-
sidered to come under the protec-
ton of effective FEP laws, the Al
Congress survey concludes.

Isaac Toubin, associate director

points out in his Preface that the

protection of those instruments
which have made democracy a
workable form of government. The
public school is one of those unique
institutions through which the
democratic idea is transmitted and
within which we begin our expert
ment in living together. Those who
seek to undermine this institution,
whatever the device they use to
that end, share a common hostility
to the democratic process of free
inquiry. Those who seek to inject
doctrinal religious teachings, under
whatever guise, threaten to shat
ter the traditional integrity of the
public school system. This manual
