QUESTION 10: S. J. DoneHic0, Of Pittsburgh, Pa,
asks, "Wh0f does six-monfh0h baby think about ~
MILTON .. LEVINE, Md, leading pediatrician:
If thinking is the act of having the mind occupied or
performing mental operation then a six-month-old
baby has numerous thoughts He is able to recognize
people as well as many objects He knows what he
wants when he wants it, and vigorously rejects what
he dSlikeS.
He is social creature with smile for almost every
one But his smile for his mother is immediate and
whoehearted whereas his smile for strangers is given
only after few moments of careful observation. He
senses hunger, but if by chance the wrong food is
offered he will either his face or refuse to open his
mouth.
In other words, he is thinking of the particular food
he desires. He reason a little, for if he is
holding block or some object in each hand and is
offered third article of interest he will usually think
to put object down before he starts reaching for
the third.
AS far as we can judge, his thoughts are of short
duration, shifting rather rapidly from thing to
another. He apparently lives for the moment only,
with little or no thought of what the future holds

quantum theory and his special theory Of relatively,
and pretty we'll understand them. Many students in
mathematics, chemistry and astronomy are also more
less completely acquainted with these theories
However, knowledge Of his general theory of relav-
ity is less widely shared. Almost all physicists have
general qualitative idea of its principle points But an
understanding of its mathematical formulation, and
ability to the Journalism it requires are probably
restricted to theoretical physicists, few mathe
maticians, and some astrophysicsts.
Einstein's recent and incomplete work on unified
field theory known to still more specialized group:
only few hundred have studied it carefully. And
those who are working to understand, extend, or
improve it number only few score.

pertinent Station, it was thought that
oat diseases were of little or no inn
portance in Montana. In recent years
oat stem rustS (Puccinia graminis ave-
nae) and Victoria blight (Helminthos-
porium victoriae) have caused severe
damage to the generally recommended
varieties when they were grown under
irrigation in Eastern Montana near
Sidney.
Garry, Rodney Meet Need
The varieties Garry new and
Rodney have been recently recom-
mended specifically for those irri-
gated farming areas in the vicinity
OF the Eastern Montana Branch
Station at Sidney.
Inc counties involved in the recon-
mendation are Richland. Dawson
Wlbaux, Roosevelt, Sheridan. Daniels.
Valley, Garfield, Fallon, Carter. Nc
Cone and Prairie. Garry new and
Rodney oats should adequately fill the
Dill for producers of irrigated oats in
the counties mentioned. Both varieties
have performed well when no stem
rust or Victoria blight was observed and
they have done exceptionally well in
the presence of the diseases.
Dryland results indicate that Carry
new and Rodney are not within the
maturity range of good dryIand oats
ana, since neither stem rust nor Vic
torla blight have caused damage to
dryland oats, Gopher and Mission are
recommended for growing on dryland
throughout Montana.
Garry New Oats
Garry (new)-CI. 1862 was de-
veloped from a RI. 1872 Victory
cross at Winnipeg, Manitoba. It is a
reselection from the original Carry
which was released to Canadian grow.
erS about 1948 and then withdrawn from
certIfication the following year. The
reselected Garry was distributed 70
Canadian growers in 1858 and il is
superior to the original Garry in re-
sistance to Victoria blight and is also
resistant to all known races of oat
stem rust.
Garry new is a mid-talI. medium
early. lodging resistant oat variety. II
has an erect growth habit appearance
similar to Park. 1t is uniform in height
and maturity and should be adapted
to combine harvest. 1t is resistant to
smut as well as Victoria blight and
stem rust but is moderately susceptible
to halo blight
Rodney Oats
Rodney-CI. 6661 was deveIonad
from an RI. 1874 Roxton cross at
Winnipeg, Manitoba. 1t was first dis
tributed to Canadian growers in 1854.
1t is a mid-tall, medium-late. lodging
resistant oat variety. The growth habit
is erect and it is similar to Park in
this respect. 1t is uniform in plant
height and maturity and should be
adapted to combine harvest. It is re-
sistant to smut, Victoria blight and all
races of oat stem rust except "a.
Rodney is susceptible to oat stem
rust Ia and is moderately susceptible
to halo blight. The grain is creamy
white, short, plump and wide and is
usually awnless to weakly awned. Test

Decision Near
On College Site
Action on Virginia
Branch Due Tonight

The Northern Virginia Uni
versity Center Advisory Council
is expected to reach a decision
tonight about selection of a site
for the new branch college to
serve the nearby suburban area.
A member of the council con-
f1rmed tonight's special session
after representatives yesterday
informed the Fairfax Board of
County Supervisors that final
action was near. The council
scheduled an appearance before
the Fairfax board next WedneS-
day to discuss its recommended
ton.
Choice Is Indicated
Ravensworth Farm on Brad
dock road in Fairfax County
was believed to be the likely
choice Of the council, but
several members planned to hold
out for other locations.
Proponents of Ravensworth
Farm say its advantage is that
it has existing buildings which
would enable the center to begin
daytime operation next fall. At
present. the center operates only
night classes at various high
schools in Northern Virginia
with headquarters at Washing
ton-Lee High School in Arlington.
The site also must be approved
by the Board of Visitors of the
University of Virginia. Colgate
w. Darden. president, has said
he wanted the people in North
ern Virginia to pick the site,
however.
Included $4,000 Acres
Ravensworth Farm, including
so acres with two large houses
and a barn, has been offered free
by three owners, Edward r. Carr.
president of the Washington
Board of Trade and developer of
nearby Springfield; James L.
McIlvaine and John c. Now
bray. They also have offered
SGT, 500 in cash and propose to
give the university an option to
buy so acres adjoining the free
tract.
Ravensworth Farm traces its
origin back to 1884, when it was
acquired by William Fitzhugh
from Lord Culpeper. AT that
time, the estate included $4,000
acres. 1t later passed into the
Lee family through Mrs. Robert
E. Lee.

MoryIond-D. c. Federation
Debates AFL-CIO Meroer

The question of whether the
Maryland-District Federation of
Labor will merge with the ALL
CLIO was to be the climax of the
50th anniversary convention of
the regional group today.
Baltimore delegates represent
ing the AFL building trades led
the fight against the merger.
They said they feel their inter-
ests are inimical to those of the
CLIO industrial craft unions.
The question, which was to
have been voted on yesterday,
was brushed aside during a fight
over the only contested Office for
the annual elections. The cleo
ton haSsle involved Walter Dom
nelly and Raymond Fogarty for
the post of area organizer.
Mr.. Donnelly was elected by a
slim margin. However, it was
discovered after he was close to
installation in Office that he was
an alternate and not a delegate

from Baltimore. The question,
after a lengthy argument was
resolved, with Mr.. Donelly STEP
ping down and Mr.. Fogarty TAX
ing Office.
The convention, being held in
the Willard Hotel, will wind up
today with debate on the merger.
The basic difference between
the labor men in the Maryland
and the District is that those in
Maryland feel they will not have
the upper hand if the CLIO is
given the same footing as has
been heretofore enjoyed by the
AFL.
The fight has caused a split
in the Washington Maryland
labor convention. Baltimore
construction trade delegates to
the convention are almost unani-
nous in their motion to "sloW
down" on the merger. Washing
ton construction delegates are
split on the issue.
