THIS AND THAT
BY Charles E. TRACEWELL

What do you do with a
drunken Sailor?"
So went the old chanty. still
sung because it is still good
tune.
The question is, however,
what do you do with any
drunken person?
Templeton Jones recently
was seated at his desk when
a gent in this condition came
in, introduced himself, and
stood looking at Jones.
Have a seat" said Jones.
in his best manner.
The man sat.
The whole thing made
Jones think Of the old end
men performance in the old
time minstrel shows.
Gentlemen, be seated" said
the interlocutor.
The man gazed at Temp
Jones. and Temp Jones looked
at the man.
Then Jones looked at the
man. and the man looked at
Jones.
1t went on this way for a
long time. until finally the host
queried. as politely as he
could:
What can I do for you?"
1t was the old gambit Of
American business.
What can / do for you, mis-
ter?
Nothing" said the man.
"Nothing?" querier Jones,
still determined to be polite.
Nothing" said the man.
Suddenly wild rage surged
up in the heart, mind and soul
of Templeton Jones.
Probably one of his dry belt
ancestors came to life in him
with a sudden kick.
He longed to lean forward,
take the souse by the back OF
the neck, and shake him good.
He didn't, much to his credit,
he thought afterward.
He just leaned forward.
smiled persuasively, he hoped.
and said:
We'll. mister. If there is
nothing can do for you, /
think we might as well part. !"
So saying, Templeton Jones
arose from his seat. and stared
flxedly at the gentleman.
The man arose, in his turn,
and started away.
Jones thought he heard him
say, as he rounded the door:
He's of his rocker"
Temp Jones didn't care,
He was glad TO get rid Of
him.

Then there was another in
ebrlated fellow who met Jones
in the elevator.
Heavens" said the man,
or word 10 that effect, but

masses broke up into vast
clouds of nuclear particles
which coalesced into atoms
and universes. There is pretty
fair evidence that this hap
pened to one of the cosmic
particles, the one from which
has evolved the cosmos man.
Maybe it hasn't happened yet
to the other half Of the prime
val mass somewhere in some
unfathomed depths of space
and time. If it has, there must
be another cosmos with ga
lakes, stars, planets-perhaps
even men-made of negative
matter.
A hypothesis of creation
advanced chiefly by DR..
Georges Gamov of George
Washington University pic
lures a mass of nuclear parti-
cles Immediately following the
breakup called the "ylem," the
mother gas of the cosmos. Now,
says DR.. Goldhaber, the anti
cosmon (the half of the origi-
nal particles composed chiefly
of antineutrons) may still be
an intact mass, but If it did
decay, forming an anti-coSmos.
any anti-nucleons which are
shot out with sufficient velocity
to reach our cosmos will an
initiate some part of it, pos
sibly establishing a deviation
from spherical symmetry III
the distribution of matter in
our cosmos"
Anti alaxieS May Exist
Observations at the Mount
Palomar Observatory of the
Carnegie Institution Of WASH
ington and California Institute
of Technology, which have
penetrated farthest into space,
to date indicate that galaxieS
are distributed uniformly in all
directions Of space but adj
mittedly these observations
have gone only a little way, a
few millions of light years,
into the depths of time-space.
The spherical symmetry of
creation cannot be yet stated
as fact.
If any lack of symmetry in
the distributions. of galaxies
can be found in any direction,
DR.. Goldhaber holds, it might
indicate the direction towards
the anti-everything.
Some have postulated the
possible existence of anti
galaxies within this cosmos.
This is hardly likely, DR.. Gold
haber holds. The galaxies
continually are crashing into
each other and it is statistically
highly probable that an anti
galaxy would have crashed into
a progalaxy. Spaces between
the stars or all the galaxies
are filed with extremely tenu-
Gus hydrogen gas. Even if, as is
probable, no stars actually COL
lided there would be trillions
OF trillionS Of collisions be-
tween negative hydrogen and
positive hydrogen atoms and
these would create a disturb
ance detachable to astronomers
on earth. Nothing of the sort
has been reported.
Thus the major problems
raised by the hypothesis re-
main. Is the anti-everything
detachable? How far away is
it? Is it still moving away
from the o-everything, so
that there never can be any
hope of detecting it? Is it a
single compact mass? Has it
decayed into nuclear particles?
Have the nuclear particles
coaleSced, or frozen, into
matter?

This does not excuse the

available for countering what

But, while the officials may

This rocked our old friend
back on his heels, because he
was rather proud of the fact
that, for his age, he doesn't
look old at all. cat least, not
until recently.)
Sorry. old man." grated
Jones. I'VE can't all look as
, young as you, of course"
The drunk sagged visibly to
one side of the cage, while
the elevator operator enjoyed
the situation hugely.
After all, very few people
ever said such a thing to the
dignif1ed T. Jones, esq.,, presi-
dent of the Anti-Sneezing
Society.
Even Templeton Jones. dry
had to laugh at one drunk Oh
the bus.
This fellow sat on the long
seat at the front, directly fac
ing Jones, across the lobby, or
whatever you call the front
part of a bus.
Suddenly the man stuck out
his right leg. and trompled
down hard at Jones' foot.
Fortunately, he missed by a
mile, as inebriated people
mostly do.
Whats the idea of that?"
queried our friend.
I'm killing flies" said the
man, sticking out his foot
again. and coming down hard.
Jones held his feet up
slightly from the floor.
You're wasting your time"
he said. There are no more
flies"
The man laughed. and
struck out again.
"Ha. ha, ha." he said. Il
see EN-"
For once, Jones had to agree
with the old dictum. that there
is no use arguing with a
drunk man.
He got of the bus. It was
cheap at 20 cents.

Europe's Rich Uncle

I noticed in The Star that
Edith Crab a m. Congress-
woman from Massachusetts,
suggested that the American
Government should give to
the Italian government SO
per cent Of the cost OF a new
vessel like the Andrea Doria.
Now, the American people
are perfectly willing that
Edith and her church hold
a benefit for this worthy en-
terprise, but the American
people are not willing 10 give
any more money to throw
down the ratholes Of Southern
Europe. The 84th Congress
has already given away too
much money 70 Southern
Europe. II Is time to call q
halt. Oliver z. Thompson.

Hospital Referendum

AS chief of the Bethesda
Chevy Chase Rescue Squad
serving the people of lower
Montgomery County and
Northwest Washington, the
problem of adequate emer-
gency and regular hospital
service has always been of vital
personal interest to me. The
most distressing thing in the
world is to be turned away
from a hospital.
A new hospital has been pro-
posed to serve the Silver Spring.
Wheaton area. 1t is only one
small attempt to answer a
countrywide problem. 1t de-
serves all the support it can
obtain.
A referendum question in
regard to this vitality needed
hospital is on the ballot of this
falls election. Interest has
been focused on a problem
financially important only to
the people of the Silver Spring.
Whe eaton area. However,
more important is the fact it
could be a matter of life or
death to a person anywhere in
the county! Therefore, the
question is simply: Should or
should not the rest of the
county allow the people Of the
18th district to tax themselves
for their own hospital? The
life it saves may be your own!
The Silver Spring Hospital
Association has obtained the
o. K. of the County Council to
tax themselves a maximum of
&c per 500 valuation to finance
1879 of the sum necessary to
build a 81 million hospital, a
unit suitable for the needs of
the area for possibly 10 years
or more into the future. The
remainder of this sum comes
from donations, Federal
matching funds, and possibly
from operating revenues.
Why should this hospital be
built? Simply because there is
a severe shortage of emergency
room service and beds in the
area. The hospital expansion
program in the District is no
excuse for "free-loading" on
the part of Marylanders on
D. c. facilities. Silver Spring
is probably the largest area in
the United States or Canada
with no hospital service! You
cannot honestly claim the
wonderful job that the WASH
ington Sanitarium in Takoma
Park performs as being the
answer to the Silver Spring
Hospital problem.
If the public in voting on the
referendum will support the
hospital. join the Silver Spring
Hospital Association, and take
an active interest in the pro-
gram as a whole. they will then
support the fact that those
comprising and representing
the 18th district are definitely
capable of administering their
own hospital!

Historians Disagree

A letter which should not
90 unanswered was written by
Rayford w. Logan, Head. De-
partment of History, Howard
University, since it contains a
fragrant error of fact. Prof.
Logan writes:
"Mr. Lawrence is correct,
from one point of view, in
stating that there were 81
States in the Union in 1866
when 10 Southern States re-
jected the Q4th) Amendment.
Since 10 is more than one
fourth of 81. obviously the
Amendment was rejected in
1866. But he fails to give the
arithmetic Of ratification in
1853"
Mr.. Lawrence did not fail to
note in his article that there
was an alleged ratification,
subsequently, at the point OF a
bayonet. In fact. that was the
theme Of his article. He ques-
toned whether there were bona
fide legislatures in existence
at the time. In fact. Secretary
of State Seward himself ex-
pressed some doubts about it.
Mr.. Lawrence might have
added that Ohio and New Jer-
sey rescinded ratification and
that Secretary Seward ex-
pressed some doubt himself, in
his resolution of proclamation,
when he declared that ''if the
resolutions of Ohio and New
Jersey ratifying the amend
ment are of full force, ETC.,
Notwithstanding the SUISSE
quent resolutions. then the
amendment has been ratified"
1t will be recalled. also, that
the Oregon legislature on Oc-
tober IS. 1868 also rescinded
the ratification of the 14th
Amendment. on the ground
that it was obtained by fraud
and that the Southern States
had rejected it and then ra-
titled 1t under governments
created by military despotism.
This, therefore, is not a
question of arithmetic but of
historic facts. Z. NJ. Nichols.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
lis Everything Paired in Nature?
By THOMAS r. HENRY


Man lives in a dual "every-
thing"
The elements of creation
are pretty well paired-pro-
tons and electrons, male and
female, light and darkness.
heat and cold, good and evil.
Is this pairing the universal
pattern of Nature? If this is
the case there must somehow
be fitted into the pattern the
anti-protons, particles which
would form the nuclei of mega
tive matter. The existence of
these particles has just been
conclusively demonstrated by
scientists working on Atomic
Energy Commission projects.
Admittedly, the problem is
almost entirely philosophical,
for the time being at least.
An awesome and far-reaching
theory has just been published
in Science, the weekly journal
of the American Association
for the Advancement of
Science from DR.. M. Goldhaber
of the Brookhaven national
laboratory on Long Island,
which is operated for a group
of universities under the.
auspices of the Atomic Energy
Commission.
LeMaitre Theory Accepted
There is now among physi-
'ciSts and astronomers quite
general acceptance of the
basic poStuleS of the LeMaitre
hypothesis of the exploding
universe - that five or six
billion years ago all the matter
in creation was in a single
compact mass. which blew
up" The millions of galaxies
and quintillions of stars are
flying fragments of this titanic
explosion. Fantastic as the
idea may seem, it fits most
observations.
In the explosion, the mass
became a vast cloud of nuclear
particles-chief1y protons and
electrons. These coalesced into
atoms of the 80 elements and
these into stars and aggrega-
tons of stars. The whole proc
ess of creation may have re-
quired a very long time, or,
according to some theories,
only a few seconds.
Now if the duality observed
in known creation extends
throughout Nature it can be
postulated that there must
have been as many antiprotons
as protons in the original til
tanic particle out of which
came everything. But that
certainly is not the case in the
universe man knows today. If
it was there would be no uni
verse.
1t is far from this paradox
that DR. Goldhaber offers his
tentative hypothesis of two
mutually annfhilating every
things"
He starts with the thesis
that there may have been two
explosions. In the first the
original cosmic particle split
in two equal parts-one con-
sisting of protons and cleo
irons. the other of anti
protons and POSITIONS, or posi-
lively charged particles of the
same mass as electrons. The
force of the explosion drove
the two halves a very great
distance apart-a distance
compared to which the mil
lions Of light years between
galaxies might be quite minute.
Then. according to the
hypothesis. occurred the Sec
