More People Working

Despite the doleful headshaking OF
men like Senator Morse, the Eisenhower
administration, If there is no gimmick in
its statistics, has an impressive prosperity
story to tell.
A report Just released jointly by Sec
rotary of Commerce Weeks and Secretary
Of Labor Mitchell says that employment
in July reached record high of 1895 900.
The unemployed total was 100000
some 100000 lower than in June and
almost a million under July, 1854.
This is truly impressive record. The
agricultural picture leaves much to be
desired and there are islands Of serious
unemployment in the country. But on
the whole the employment f1gures-and
the income statistics-add up to BOOM
ing and prosperous economy. Unless
things begin to skid between now and
election day, the Democrats will have to
look elsewhere for an issue that will pro-
duce any significant number Of votes. =.

New Air Secretary

Donald A. Quarles brings two quail

as Secretary Of the Air Force. One is two
years of experience on the Defense De-

an engineer by profession and specialist
in military etectronics. All branches of
the military establishment are involved,

weapons and never before in history has
the requirement been so great for ad-
vanced engineering knowledge in di-

Trodinq With the Soviets

Secretary Of Commerce Weeks, in his
quarterly report on export controls, has
called attention to the fact that American
trade with the Soviet European bloc
appears to be rising slowly But the
increase still remains relatively very
small, and there is little chance that it
will go much above its present level in
the months Immediately ahead.
This trade, of course, is wholly in
nonstrategic goods, and it is confined
solely to Russia and its satellites IN
Europe 1--WE have no commerce whatever
with Red China and North Korea). And
although the Soviet leaders repeatedly
emphasize their desire to expand it, and
although the Western powers have
greatly eaSed past restrictions on it, the
probability is that it will continue to be
a mere trickle for long time to come.
One of the chief reasons for this is that
the Kremlins European empire, because
of the nature of its agricultural and in
dustrial policies, cannot produce and de-
liver exportable commodities in sufficient
quantity to pay for the great volume of
imports that it would like to buy from
the free world.
Actually, as students Of the subject
have long been emphasizing, there can
be no genuinely impressive or large-scale
increase in East-West commerce until
the Soviet economy in Europe straightens
out its serious farm situation, scales
down its unnatural and cruelty excessive
concentration on heavy industrial pro-
duction (mostly nonexportable), and
builds up healthy light industry for
consumer goods output. Clearly, as long
as they hold back action along that line,
the men of the Kremlin--much as they
may talk about twill lack the where
withai to bring about really big ex-
pansion Of two-way, promoting
trade.

Taken for a Ride?

Everyone is conscious Of the
wonderful work the police are
doing in directing trafflc dur
ing this emergency. Their
efforts are far above the call
of duty.
However, there's a condition
that should be publicized that
is not laudatory, and that is
the refusal Of some taxicab
drivers to take people except
on very short trips. Stories are
mounting from people who
waited as long as an hour
and a half to get a driver who
would take them to their
destination. I have heard of
people walking many miles in
the heat, trying to get to
different places, hoping to get
a driver who would take them.
only to be turned down If the
trip was long. I know Of driv-
ers who turned passengers
out If the destination was
announced after the passenger
was seated.
If it is illegal for taxi driv-
ers to do this. then the public
should be informed Of the
proper procedure in reporting
such incidents to the author
tiles.
There are taxi drivers who
are carrying passengers to
their destination. and it is
unfortunate that the despica-
bic racket practiced by some
should reflect on them all.

At Lost-o Housino Code

Adoption of housing code for the
District of Columbia is, as Commissioner
Spencer observed, "momentous occa-
SION" 1t has been urged for Is or 80
years. The one just approved has been
in the making for two years. 1t will fall
short Of what some people want; 1t will
be regarded by others as entirely too dras-
tic. Like any housing code, It's effective
ness will depend more on the nature of
its enforcement than upon what is written
down on paper.
The important thing is that to have
any housing code there must be begin
ning-and this is real beginning. It's
workability, as minimum standard of
housing that the city should tolerate, will
be tested by experience and revision. The
code will prove hardship to some tenants
and landlords, and the arbitrary applica-
ton of some of its provisions will seem to
cause more immediate harm than good.
There can be no intelligent and
planned effort by the city to eliminate
slums, however, without the existence of
a code that spells the difference between
what is permissible and what is intoler-
able in housing maintained for human
habitation. The new code attempts to do
that. Wise enforcement, quick acknowl-
edgment Of errors revealed by experience
and readiness to correct them, and suffi-
GENT time to acquaint property owners
with the new rules will all work to perfect
the code and to hasten the higher stand

Mr.. Stevenson Sets q Date

Adlai Stevenson has promised to an
nounce by the end of November whether
he will be candidate for second DEM
ocratic nomination for the presidency
His guiding thought in making his deci-
sion, he has told correspondents covering
the conference of Governors in Chicago,
will be what he feels "iS best for the
party" 1t is appropriate that Mr. Ste
venson make known his plans we'll in
advance of the Democratic convention
next year, and it is commendable that he
is being motivated by feeling of respon-
Sibility for the welfare of the party. AS
its presidential nominee in 1852, he is its
titular leader and without doubt COM
mands a large following among the rank
and. file, and among others of important
influence within the party. To them, in
particular. Mr.. Stevenson has an obliga-
ton to declare his intentions. Until he
does so, speculation and maneuvering will
be the order-with all factions at dis
advantage and with no voice being rec
ognized as the real voice of the party.
OF course, a simple declaration by
Mr.. Stevenson that he is willing to run
again would not assure him automatically
of the nomination. The major political
parties tend to shy away from defeated
candidates, even though there have been
some notable exceptions to this rule. And
while no other Democrat has announced
his candidacy, UNDERSTANDABLE, there are
at least two others-Governor Hartman
Of New York and Senator Kefauver OF
Tennessee-who are clearly available and
apparently willing If Mr.. Stevenson should
step aside. There are also such dark
horse" possibilities as Governor Lausche
of Ohio, a proved winner at the polls.
There is, further, a recognized danger to
any andidate-including Mr.. Stevenson
in getting too far out in front too soon,
becoming thereby fair target for all
rivals.
Even so, the former Illinois Governor
appears to be in strong position. During
the Chicago meetings he has held series
of consultations with influential Demo-
cratic Governors, including Mr.. Hartman.
The New Yorker has reafflrmed his sup
port for Mr.. Stevenson as his FIRST choice"
If the 1852 nominee wishes to run again.
In addition, Mr.. Stevenson outlined to
news conference tentative Democratic
campaign strategy that implied carrying
the fight to the Republicans on social
legislation, on the controversial natural
resources policies and even on the con-
duct of foreign affairs. All Of this Ats
Mr.. Stevenson's own emphasis on the
need to hold the party together-seeking
harmony among factions and laying the
groundwork for campaign issues. 1t is
not surprising that it is being generally
interpreted as meaning that, come No
vember, his hat will be in the ring again.

Russio's Economy

Dorothy Thompson refers 10
a report by Indian experts
dealing with the Soviet econ
ofny. in which they found the
Soviets only six or seven years
behind the United States and
Western Germany" Since I
have never heard of the Rus
slams themselves claiming that
in six or seven years from now
they will have reached our
present economic level chow
ever this is measured. I am
inclined to think that either
Miss Thompson is misstating
their conclusions or that the
Indian experts" are not as
expert as they should be in
this field.
The current issue of Social
Research has an article, RE
cent Technological Progress in
the Soviet Union" by Roland
Gibson. which points out that.
in spite Of exaggerated claims
and statements. there is evil
dence of considerable genuine
chronological progress. which
it would not be wise to ignore.
"In his recent study Of Soviet
labor productivity. published
in Bergson's Soviet Economic
Growth, Walter Galenson of
the University Of California
settles on a figure of between
3 and 4 per cent as a reason
able annual rate Of overall in
dustrial productivity growth to
use for purposes Of prediction
up to 1870"
The Indians may have been
shown certain selected sectors
of the Soviet economy which
are indeed highly advanced.
and in a few cases even more
advanced than in the West.
They may be right in being
impressed, but should be re-
minded that Soviet industry
pulls two ways, as Paul Wohl
pointed out in an article In
the Christian Science Monitor
Of June 2. The latter says;
There actually are two
Soviet economies: the first be-
ing in the vanguard of tech
nical progress :; the other
being backward, confined to
old factory buildings whose
layout and obsolete equipment
make it impossible to improve
productivity" Sidney Korctz.

His Quiet Years

Herbert Hoover was completely in
character when, on his 81st birthday, he
spoke Of the things that are good about
this country.
It was not a partisan speech, for par
tisanship, in the narrow sense, cannot
survive the mellowing experiences of 81
years. 1t was, instead, the speech of a
man who has passed through the storms
and into the quiet years Of life.
With touch of nostalgia Mr.. Hoover
recalled the days when, as boy Of II, he
roamed the flower carpeted forests of
Oregon, the days when there was no limit
on the fish boy might catch and when
Lad did not have to worry about the
chance that warden might come along
and demand to see his license 1t was
much the same when he spoke with affec-
ton Of the generation Of pioneers under
whose tutelage he was reared-men and
women who held that the function of the
Federal Government was to safeguard the
individual freedoms and trust to the in
itiative Of men to generate progress"
If that bears the imprint of the
rugged individualist, 1t still was the COM
ment of man whose faith in the future
OF America is firm and unwAvering. Mr..
Hoover, while acknowledging the imper-
fections which remain in our system,
spoke out against those who can see the
bad but not the good Calling the roll Of
forward steps which have been taken in
this country, he asked what it all means
And then he answered his own question:
1t means that freedom Of mind OF
spirit and Of initiative still lives in America.
1t means that our people are strong in
religious faith. Here alone are the open
windows through which pours the sunlight
Of the human spirit. Here alone. even with
all its defects. is human dignity not a
dream but an accomplishment.
With this said, Mr.. Hoover left the
little town of Newberg, where the birth
day ceremonies were held, and headed
for the Mckenzie River and the rainbow
trout which inhabit that tumbling stream.
Surely all Americans, including those who
differed with him so bitterly quarter Of
a century ago. will join In wishing Mr..
Hoover many happy returns Of the day
and good fishing.

Airleigh A. Burke will become
Chief of Naval Operations.
All of the glamour and pag-
eantry of naval tradition, the
ruffles and fiourishes. amid a
spectacle of power and might,
will be unfolded before the
eyes of those civilian and mill
tary officials invited to attend.
Our historical American naval
tradition shall be maintained.

Burke reflects the past CLAM
our of our American Navy. the
days of Capt. John Paul Jones,

Admiral David Glasgow Far

Scott Schley and Admiral
George E. Dewey.
But the sweeping reorgan-
ization of the Nays high
command ordered by Secre-
tary Of the Navy Charles S.
Thomas is wrong. If such a
program is carried out. GER
tain important elements Of
naval tradition will be de-
stroyed, leading to lack Of
unity and incentive among
officers. The recent policy Of
Secretary Thomas of choosing
younger officers for promotion
is unfair and unwise. Re-
gardless OF age. officers who
have qualified for greater re-
sponsibility and leadership.
through years of work. study
and loyalty to naval tradition,
should be given every consid-
Grafton for promotion.
A Secretary Of the Navy
should uphold every concept
OF what constitutes naval ira
dition. Before the Senate
confirms his appointment. the
Secretary designate should be
interrogated as to his ideals
of naval tradition and his
knowledge of its past history.
In crucial moments. which
may mean the difference be-
tween life and death. defeat
or victory, an officers deci-
sion is determined by what is
in his mind. his soul. his spirit.
and not By physical strength
and youth. What emanates
from the heart and brain is
the determining factor in VIC

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Coral Reef VisuuIized as Animal
By THOMAS r. HENRY

sugar is devoured by the Mad
reporaria. Apparently the
fertility Of the surrounding
sea makes little difference.
Coral reefs flourish in parts
Of the ocean that are es..
sentially deserts.
The, marine biological lab
oratory has been established
by the Atomic Energy Com
mission, according to the re-
port Just issued, to study
effects of the radiation from
nuclear explosions on plant
animal populations. The first
requirement has been to de-
termine the natural condition
of the organisms before being
subjected to this radiation.
Then whatever changes take
place with subsequent bomb
tests can be noted. The work
has been undertaken under
an Acc contract by biologists
of Duke University and the
University of Georgia. Such
a life community, both a vast
assembly of organisms. and a
sort of superorganism, is an
almost perfect subject for the
required observations. The
first job, according to the
commission report, has been
to measure the "basal metab-
olism" Of reef as a whole.
There are plenty of reefs
to study. Eniwetok, lying
$500 miles southwest Of
Hawaii, is made up Of a circle
of coral islands approximate
ly 20 miles in diameter. All
these islands have well-de%
veloped reefs. Several have
dense overgrowths Of tropical
vegetation.
Admittedly the conception
of a reef as a sort of super
organism is somewhat mysti-
cal. The Duke and Univer-
sity of Georgia biologists do
not maintain that there is any
consciousness of constituting
a whole on the part Of the
individual organisms. 1t is
likely that they have no con-
seriousness of anything. The
outstanding fact is that they
behave so much like a whole.
A reef is an outstanding
example. the biologists say, of
the two major divisions Of
life, plant and animal, work.
ing in perfect cooperation.
The actual cooperation Of
plant and animal in an inte-
grated organism is not unique
for the coral reefs. Something
of the sort occurs in certain
sea worms, near the bottom
of the worm family. that grow
green algae in their blood
streams. These worms make
some of the beaches of Nor
mandy grass-green in sum-
mer. The algae are necessary
for their existence. There may
be a few other examples
throughout the animal king
dom.
The Eniwetok phenomenon,
however, shows this partner
ship on a far vaster scale than
anything previously known.
