Supreme Court Justice Retires

WASHINGTON. RJustice c e Sherman Minton of the Supreme Court today announced that he will retire on Oct 1 Minton said he is leaving the high bench because of impaired health. The jurist will be 66 years old on Oct. 20.
 In a letter sent to the White House this morning, Minton noti- fled President Eisenhower of his plan.
 The justice has a circulatory condition in his legs. He told the President he does not feel he could carry out "the exacting du- ties of my office" in his present condition.
 Appointed by President Harry Truman, Minton went on the Su- preme Court bench Oct. l2, 1949.
 He has sufficient years of ser vice on federal benches to retire at full pay of $35,000 yearly.
 Minton served as a Democratic senator from Indiana from 1885 to 1941.
 His retirement will give Eisen- hover his third opportunity to fill a Supreme Court vacancy. Eisenhower previously appointed Chief Justice Earl Warren and Associate Justice Marian to the high tribunal.

Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALvERSoN

A new planet has made its ap- pearance in the sky after an ab- sence of approximately two years
 The planet, which now holds a commanding position in the sky, is Mars. No doubt many have seen this reddish colored planet in the southeastern sky in the evening.
 Because of its distinctive red color it was called Mars by the ancients, since it had fiery, war like appearance. The color of Mars is presumed to be the char acteristic color of its soil, 5s of which is in a desert condition.
 Observatories over the world are wing with one another to discover new facts about this in- teresting planet which moves so rapidly in the sky. At it's nearest approach to the earth's orbit it is only 35,000,000 miles away, while at it's furthermost it is 62,000, ,000.
 Today, Sept. T, Mars is closer than it has been for two years.

Karl Dewey Says Legislature

At Rotary luncheon Thursday at the Bering Sea Club, Karl Dewey, Territorial Tax Commis- sioner, addressed the meeting and told of the Alaska tax structure. He said tax revenues this year are running considerably above the collections in the same period last year.
 Dewey said that under the pre- sent tax structure, schools and education use about 50 percent of the territory's revenues, but the estimated budget for schools in the next biennium calls for $40 million which would take about 80 percent of the revenue. This the territory will not be able to do. Therefore he looks for tax increases or property tax of

JUNEAU, R Bert McCay, Wrangell seine boat skipper, was fined $1,O00 by US. Commission CT Gordon Gray Wednesday after pleading guilty to violation of sal mon regulations.

Fur Seals Worth $lO Million Taken From PribilOf Is.

SEATTLE, Two residents of the lonely Pribilof Islands ar- rived here aboard the Navy vessel Washburn Wednesday.
 The ship also brought a record load of fur seal belts.
 The visitors are the Rt. Rev. Theodosy Kulchitzky, and Mrs. Blanche Sjoblom.
 The Rev. Theodosy, as he is of ficially known in the church, has headed the Russian Greek Ortho- dox Catholic Church on St. George Island in the Pribilof group for 20 years.
 He will remain in Seattle until early next spring, when he will return to St. George Island with the first US. Fish and Wildlife Service vessel visiting the island.
 Mrs. Sjoblom is a bookkeeper for the Fish and Wildlife Service at St. Paul Island She was car ried off the ship She had suf- fered heart attack while on the island.
 The Washburn brought ll8,000 fur seal belts valued at more than 10 million dollars. It was the largest harvest of the pelts since the United States government took over administration of the Pribilof fur seal rookeries in 1911 and nearly double last years take.

Powell Amendment

The Presidents continued
opposition to the Powell
Amendment is Incompetent
sible. l feel assured that
the need for schools is critical
and that this amendment
would deny aid to the areas
needing it the most. TO reject
or oppose this amendment,
however. would mean con-
doning or promoting segrega-
ton in defiance Of the Supreme
Court decision.
To give Federal aid to those
areas would be in effect legal
izing an illegal act and that
price is far too high to pay for
schools in those areas which
defy, nullify and ignore the
decision of the judicial branch
of oui Government.
There is some feeling that
to assist these areas in their
defiance of the decision, by
expanding money collected
through taxation is unconsti-
tional and certainly violates
the spirit of the tax laws. 1t is
beyond understanding how one
can both be first and second
class citizens at the same time
and how the Government can
expand taxes collected from
all citizens as first class citi-

Turkey Tiqhtens Its Belt

Inc turkish government, worried
for nearly year about its marginal eco
nomic situation, is doing some belt
tightening. A fve-point program that
adds up to new level of domestic aus
terity includes assurance of balanced
budget, restriction on bank credits
particularly for speculative purposes
and more rigid control of imports. The
effort is timely and necessary one for
several reasons.
Since the end of World War II,
Turkey has been engaged in costly pro-
gram of capital development, including
the building of heavy industry and utility
plants, rail lines, highways and port IA
cilities. Their financing has imposed
heavy drain upon the national treasury
while an unfavorable trade balance has
reduced foreign credits and earnings. In
the same period, the country's determine
ton to strengthen itself militarily has
forced its arms budget steadily upward
despite substantial aid from the United
States. Imitation has become grim
reality as result of these pressures.
Hoarding and black marketing have been
widespread In 1855, Turkey sought
million loan from the United States
over and beyond the military assistance
received from us. The answer, in effect,
was that some domestic economic reforms
should be initiated before the question OF
nonmilitary credits could be settled
Not surprisingly, the economic prob
lem has become political issue. The
Peoples Republican Party, in opposition
to the government, has charged that the
industrial development program was too
ambitious-that the government has
bitten off more than it can chew. Even
the ruling Democratic Party has been
divided on the issue and the entire cabi-
net Of Premier Menderes resigned in late
November It was nearly fortnight be-
fore Mr.. Menderes was able to form
new government and its continuance In
Office may depend largely upon whether
conditions improve within the next few
months. Meanwhile, Clarence Randall
who has been chairman of President
EiSenhower's Committee on Foreign Eco
nomic Policy, has arrived in Turkey to
study the problem. His views, perhaps
particularly on the effectiveness of the
latest reforms, undoubtedly will bear
upon whether American economic aid is
to be granted.
Turkey is member Of NATO, of the
Balkan Tripartite Alliance and of the
Middle East Treaty Organization-all
part of the Western security network. Its
military value to us-apd it is consider
able-would deteriorateN dangerously If

According to my lnforma-
ton, the taxpayers have bought
up 81 billion worth of farm
surplus products. and they.
the taxpayers, are now paying
millions in storage charges on
these products. Now. Congress
proposes to give several more
millions to buy gasoline and
automobiles to be used by the
farmers In riding around TO
look over another larger sup
ply of surplus to be taken over

Such things were a part OF

Here was a small thing. but

with pride. 1t was perfection
in a nutshell.
Not q scratch on it, not a

perfect CLEAN of good leather.

Jones picked up this perfect
object, one morning, then for

laid it on a small table before
he put it in his pocket.
And that was where he made
his big mistake.

reached up. stuck out a spor-
tive paw. and ripped the key
case to the floor.
When Templeton Jones
picked it up. there was a nice
long stratch through the glaze
of the keycase surface.

but there was maniacal
sound to it.

knew it was too good to last.
Look at that scratch. Now.

had is back in the list of the
imperfect. l knew it was bound

years ago, he said. They wear
practically no clothing. They
have known nothing Of metals
or even of chipping stone
spearheads. Their weapons
have been bows and arrows,
without stone arrow heads.
Hence it has been impossible to
hunt larger game. although
they have accomplished some
thing by poisoning their ar
rows. They have no semblance
Of agriculture.
Hence, DR.. Guisinde says,
life is almost entirely on the
pure food gathering stage.
They gather and eat roots and
leaves. They eat enormous
quantities of ants, termites.
worms and grubs, collected by
the women and partially
cooked, wrapped in leaves. in
hot ashes.
Life Closely Studied
For more than two years
DR.. Guisinde was the only
white man in the whole coun-
try. During this time he was
able to make a close study of
the ways of life and folkways
of many groups. He found
they had no totems. which
apparently came into existence
when man became a hunter.
They have no magic whatso-
ever. This apparently started
when man began to farm. They
worship one god. The concept
of a multiplicity of gods is
far beyond their comprehen-
sion.
They now number, DR.. Gui-
sinde said, about 10000. This
number has kept fairly con-
stan. from generation to
generation with a birthrate of
approximately seven children
per woman. The death rate Is
enormous because, with birth
following birth so rapidly,
there is little time for nursing
and little stomachs are ILL
adapted to an ant and termite
diet. Still, once past the perils
of infancy, they are a healthy.
well-formed people with no
obvious physical defects.
Due to their ways of life.
he pointed out, they are quite
filthy and all are covered with
lice. Their one amusement is
dancing. They will dance all
night, after a hard day OF
tramping through the forest.
They have no concept Of
time--due largely to the fact
that they never see the sun or
the stars upon whose move
ments earliest concepts Of time
were built. No man knows his
age.
Under their social system, in
which certain boundaries are
allotted to each group OF
families. he said. war is i'm
possible. One group never will
trespass. on the territory Of
another. There is no incentive
to do so.

G.. R. Simcox'S comments on
"Integration and Teachers, "
however soothing to his sense
Of superiority. are more spe-
cious than supercilious. During
the era of segregated schools,
classes were larger in Negro
schools for the simple reason
that there was much less con-
Germ for keeping the supply of
teachers and facilities ade-
quate. Even where attempts
were made at homogeneous
grouping. greater congestion
prevailed.
The elimination of segrega-
ton has made it no longer
possible to segregate disad-
vantages. There is now a COM
munity-wide awareness of their
existence and a unified effort
to remove them.
Better schools. together with
equal opportunities in housing,
recreation, jobs. ETC.. will ele-
vate standards throughout the
city 1t may console Mr.. Sim
cox to know that some day
Negroes in the District will be
paying just as much in taxes
as do white families, for the
simple reason that they will
be earning as much.

On Helping India

Tnere is an UNDERSTANDINGS ulSPooA
ton in Congress to- take dim view OF
extending further economic aid to India.
Prime Minister Nehru's "neutralism" has
seemed at times-notably during the re-
cent Bulganin- Khrushchev tour OF his
country-to be anti-Western and pro-
Soviet. And some of his past words and
actions, together with those OF such top
advisers as Mr.. Khrishna Menon, have
certainly rubbed American fur the wrong
way. Why then should the United States
bother much about helping him?
This is the question that John Sher-
man Cooper, our Ambassador TO New
Delhi, has come back here to try to an
swer. He has no doubt, for his own part
that the United States-as matter OF
enlightened elf-interest-should give
more aid to India. He views the issue
with a "sense of urgency" and members
of the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, after hearing him at closed
session, have described his arguments as
both determined" and striking" APP
parently he is convinced that Soviet eco
nomic offers to the Nehru government
constitute serious threat that needs to
be vigorously countered by our country
and the West in general. He seems con-
WINGED, too, that Congress and the Amer
lean people should be sympathetic toward
Mr. Nehru as a leader burdened with
many grave neutrality-suspicious. that
have obliged him, even while strongly
and consistently fighting against his do
nestle Communist opposition, to walk
tight-rope of genuine neutrality or mon
alignment" between our world and the
Kremlin's.
Mr. Cooper, former Republican SEN
ator from Kentucky, is not naive or
starry-eyed individual eager to be gen.
erous just for generosity's sake. He has
been close to what is going on in India,
and he is in a better position than most
Americans to judge what our policy
should be in relation to New Delhi. His
words ought to be listened to with great
care. Minor irritations must not be al
lowed to obscure the issue. The stakes
involved are very high, and If we do not
play our cards right-with wisdom and
understanding-the Kremlin may out
maneuver us in way that could be dis
astrous not only for the Indians but for
ourselves and the entire free world as well.

How Does He Know?

The bare facts of record are enough
to rebut any challenge of Senator Sy-
m1ngton'S motives in his attack on the
administrators handling of the defense
program. No one in public life has made
a greater contribution to the building
and maintenance of our strategic air
arm which, for 10 dangerous years, has
held the Russians in check And we do
not believe that Senator Symington, at
this late hour, would be trying to make
partisan issue out of the vital question
OF American air power.
Nevertheless, many watchers must
have come away from his appearance on
Meet the Press yesterday with a certain
sense Of baff1ement.
Senator Symington said the Russians
have tested ballistic missile that went
hundreds of miles" farther than any we
have tested. And he stated, not as a
belief but as fact, that the Russians
ARE ahead of us In ballistic missiles"
How does he know this? Does he
have exclusive sources of information, or
Is the same information on which he
relies available to the Defense Depart
ment? II so, what is the explanation Of
the reasSuring statements which have
come from the Pentagon? If the Rus
slams are ahead in this critical field, why
are we operating our own missile pro-
gram, as Senator Symington puts it, on
"fve-day week" basis?
This could well be a life-or-death
matter for this country. But we do not
see how any worthwhile national deci-
sion can be reached on the basis Of
undocumented accusations by Senator
Symington or equally undocumented
statements to the contrary by defense
officials. Senator Symington says that
Congress should conduct full, frank,
open hearing and tell the people every
thing, so that we can get to work and do
the. job that must be DONE" Perhaps
this is the answer. But If such hearing
Is held, the Missouri Democrat and those
who agree with him ought to be ready
and willing to produce the evidence on
which they base their accusations.
