To reap the fruits OF Ddnder-

And bring back tWo or three.
One ddiDn they'll blotu

Man to Mann

Delegate Harrison Mann
castigates the Arli ngton
School Board for having
shown how it intended to
operate the school system in
conformance with the Gray
Plan. Mann says the School
Board is directly and solely
responsible for causing the
entire State of Virginia to
scrap the plan.
That's quite an order, but
it doesn't reflect diScredit on
the School Board nearly so
much as it does on other quar-
tiers. including MIR. Mann. A
large number of people, Mr..
Mann among them, worked
many weeks to produce the
Gray Plan. 1t was supposed to
be the total answer to the in
tegration problem.
Then the Governor, mem
berS of the Gray Commission,
and the Byrd organization
went to bat for the plan. In a
whirlwind campaign, leading
up to an expensive Statewide
referendum, they told the
State that the Gray Plan
was the best possible solu-
ton. They cajoled, promised,
wheedled. and even threat
ened-telling all the dire re-
suits which would tranSpire
if the plan were not adopted.
BY a margin of some two to
one, the voters adopted the
plan.
That is when the Arlington
School Board made it's public
announcement. And, If we
are to believe Mr.. Mann, this
one small stroke laid waste
all that had happened.
If this is really true, the
State of Virginia has a right
to be highly critical Of the
Gray Commission and all
officials who so urgently sup
ported it. Look up their
statements. and you will find
they had only the highest
praise for it. But now they
are kicking dust on the object
of their affection.
The whole story is one
which reflects credit on the
Arlington School Board and
censure on the producers of
the Gray Plan. The School
Board simply gave the public
a picture of how the Gray
Plan would work, while the
authors Of the plan failed to
foreSee the results of their
own labors.

Human volunteers who will
allow themselves to be innocu-
lated with cancer cells may be
recruited in an about effort
to break open one Of the most
promising fields of present
cancer research - determine
ton whether any natural i'm
munity exists and whether it
can be augmented in any way
If it does exist. et
This is part of the future
program of the Sloan-Ketter-
ing Institute which has car
ried out much of the most
fundamental cancer research
in the world.
There are a few outstand-
ing observations. Some per-
sons develop cancers Of vari-
Gus organs while others under
identical circumstances appar-
emily are immune.
Human cells of many kinds
can be grown in test tubes out
side the body. Thus far, how
ever, it has been found inn
possible to transfer normal
cells derived from those of one
individual to another, except
in the case Of identical twins.
Cancer cells can also be
grown in test tubes. When
these are transferred to vol
unteerS, in every case to date,
persons themselves with far
advanced cancers, they have
proceeded to multiply and
form new cancers. The trans
ferable cells, however, may
be from a completely different
kind of malignant growth than
that suffered by the volunteer.
The new cancers have formed
tiny Jumps under the skin,
always removable and durable.
Can the same be done with
persons who are not cancer
victims? If it can't, why not?
In the past the researchers
have hesitated to perform the
experiment. Offhand it has
seemed extremely dangerous.
Volunteers in the past -
jail in mates, conscientious
DIRECTORS. medical students
themselves - have allowed
themselves to be innoculated
with all sorts of horrible dis
eases in medical experiments.
But cancer is something diff
ferent.
The Sloan-Kettering re-
searchers, however, now are
convinced from the expert
ments with the cancer victims
that this experiment can be
carried out with no peril at all.
If cancer results, they are con-
WINGED, it will be in the form of
the same sort of tiny Jumps
under the skin which can be
removed Immediately if there
is any sign of spreading.
Object Of Experiment
IF the transplants could be
shown to grow in cancer-free
individuals" says the institutes
prospectus for the project.
(which no experiment to date
has accomplished, we would be
sure that the cancer cells lack
something present in normal
body cells or that they possess
some quality which renders
the normal componentS re-
sistant to the normal protec-
tive forces. If they did not
grow it would indicate that

In prospect for the autumn-should

talk about--is a return to the days of
the silent movies.
BY this is not meant movies that
could talk if anyone wanted them to, but
those which actually were made before
sound was added. This is what movies
were like, agitated in acting style but
voiceless. when today's grandparents were
deciding to live happily ever afterward.

Montgomery Airport

The need for an adequate
airport in Montgomery County
for business and private air
planes is established, but we
understand there is a contro-
yersy as to its location.
The Rockville firm for which
I am chief pilot is a subsidiary
in production related to Gov
eminent contracts. We rely
upon the time-saving modern
transportation by company
airplane. We are now using
the old Congressional Airport
and hope that there will be an
improved airport very soon
for use by ourselves, our GUS
toners, related industries and
private and business flying in
general.
With our main plant in
York, Pa, members of our
staff have frequent need
for transportation between
York and Rockville. BY rail
and taxi through the congested
District Of Columbia, such a
trip takes from 3la to 4 hours
one way. The company plane
enables US to make the 60-mile
York-Rockville trip, Office door
to Office door, in As minutes
only 20 minutes in the air.
We are very hopeful that
the county planners will To-
cate an attractive and i'm
proved county airport some
where near the location of the
Congressional field now used
for business aircraft landings.
Congressional field has served
the county well from the
standpoint Of business con-
venience. An airport should
De located as near as possible
10 the population center Of
any county and should be
easily accessible. The ground
time needed in getting to or
from the airport can very
easily cancel out the air-time
ADVANTAGE in characterization
by air. We feel that a new
Montgomery County airport
can be very successful If To-
Gated near the old site where
landings have been accepted
by the community for more
than 20 years.

Sidney Koretz berates me for

Sidney Koretz berateS me for
saying that the makers of the
Constitution had not outlined
the duties of the Supreme
Court. The Supreme Court, Mr..
Koretz states, is the supreme
judicial power in the United
States. What this judicial
power represents can be found
in Article III of the Constitu-
ton. If Mr.. Koretz would take
the trouble of reading his Con-
Stitution ! think he would have
trouble finding stipulated any
where in Article III that the
judicial power of the Govern
ment is taken to mean the in
depreciation of the constitu-
tionality of laws, which is
clearly the function Mr.. Ko-
retz believes the Supreme
Court to fulfill. He would have
trouble finding this stipulated
anywhere in the Constitution,
SO that to tell us that the Su-
preme Court represents the
judicial power of the Govern
ment is to tell us nothing,
since this judicial power no
where is taken to mean the
role which the Constitution
has grown into, and which Mr..
Koretz abides by: The inter-
prefer of the constitutionality
of the laws.
Mr.. Koretz contradicts him
self by stating that the role
of the Supreme Court as inter-
prefer Of the Constitution was
one outlined by John Marshall.
1t is very well to speak Of "the
tremendous impact Of John
Marshall's IS years as Chief
Justice" but John Marshall is
not the Constitution, and if
John Marshall outlined the
role Of the Supreme Court,
then John Marshall did this,
not the trainers of the Consti-
tuition. So I will paraphrase
myself slightly and say this
time, as any college student
knows, the role which the Su-
preme Court has endeavored to
fiI in past years was one in
no way outlined by the trainers
OF the Constitution, but one
which grew slowly through
practice. and that said role is
not a clear, unequivocal func-
ton. written out in black and
white, but a n,uch more diff
cult and subtle thing to grasp,
a role created by tradition, and
one which changes constantly.
In my previous letter I
spelled out the fact that I was
interested in the question of
the sanctity of the Supreme
Court, not in the racial issue.
/ find Mr.. Koretz unable to,
make this distinction. He
charges me with trying to
change an opinion which de-
clares "un-American any caste
system" Mr.. Koretz evidently
suffers from the same disease
as many liberals of today. He
is willing to invoke the law
when it suits his purpose:
otherwise he appeals to the
emotions, and says in effect.
the law is binding, unless /
don't like it.

Obsolete Doqmos

Although a small thing in itself,
the resignation of the editor of the chief
Communist newspaper in Switzerland is
an interesting and not insignificant
measure of the theological ferment that
has been going on in the Marxist-Leninist
world ever since Stains death. It is a
ferment that reflects loss of faith in
the old party-line dogmas, or at least
large degree of doubt about their validity
and workability in the revolutionary age
of the atom.
The Swiss editor-a man named Emil
Arnold-has summed up his own disen-
chantment by declaring that common
sense and the facts of life in 1856 have
impelled him to conclude that commu-
niSm is obsolete. AS he has put it, "Great
changes in the world have created new
tasks which go beyond all we have known
so far" and Red extremism-in relation
to those taSkS-iS thoroughly outmoded
political system that simply will not work
and ought therefore to be abandoned
So he has abandoned it, just as others
before him have done.
Actually, there probably are large
numbers of Communists behind the Iron
Curtain-perhapS even some in the
Kremlin-who feel as Emil Arnold does.
At any rate, more than few of them
must strongly suspect, when they are
intellectually honest with themselves,
that their party in this rapidly changing
era is nailed down to doctrines that are
reactionary or retrogreSSive rather than
forward looking. After all, in its essen
tialS, MarxiSm- LeniniSm is nothing but
uniquely despotic form of state capt.
talism conceived by bitter-minded theo-
reticians generations ago. These men
lived in world so unlike the world of
today that they would be completely
aStounded and awestricken if they could
come back among us now. And they
would certainly find it necessary either
to subject their dogmaS to drastic revision
or cast them out entirely.
1t is true, of course, that Nikita Khru-
Shchev, as chief of the Soviet Communist
Party, has affirmed that the world will
wait in vain if it waits to see Russia
drift away from the teachings of
MarxiSm-Leninism But he and the other
collective leaders" in Moscow have
already made numerous post-Stalin adj
juStmentS that modify or circumvent the
theological dictates of the past Nor is
there much reason to doubt that these
changes have been forced by political and
economic pressures resulting from the
lii1precedentedly swift and far-reaching
scientific and chronological advances of
the atomic age.
The full impact of these advances,
which continue without letup, has not
yet been felt. But they obviously are
affecting political, social and economic
systems everywhere, and ultimately, in
their own way, they may well have the
effect-poSSibly within generation-of
converting all Communists into Emil
ArnoldS. In any event, in our Superscien-
tif1c world, the pernicious old theories Of
MarxiSm- Leninism seem strikingly back
ward and anachronistic.

Stanley LichtenStein, whose
letter you published on August
80, wants to know who was
the wag who got Ike to quote
Ibsen in his acceptance
Speech?" Well, Mr.. LIS
question can be answered and
it appears that the wag is
failing the dog. The phrase
so effectively cited by the
President-that a man in the
right is most closely in league
with the futures indeed
pure IbSen. but its source is
not the play. IAN Enemy of
the People," given by Mr.. L.
The origin of the quotation
is a letter that Ibsen adj
dressed from Rome to Georg
Brandes, the eminent Danish
critic. on January 3, 1882. The
subject under discussion was
still another and better known
IbSen play, Ghosts" While
we're bandying quotations
there's a nifty one from that
play that bears repeating in
these circumstances:
whenever take up a news
paper and read it, I fancy I
see ghosts creeping between
the lines" Ibsen, Ghosts, Act
II.
In printing Mr.. LIS pretty
but false allegory about Ike
and his opponent. a news
paper becomes an unwilling
agent in circulating an intel
lectual lie, which, turned
topsy-turvy. can be prinked
and tinselled out, decked in
plumage new and fine, till
none knows its lean old car
cass." Ibsen, Peer Gynt. Act I.
nj. Robert Rogers,
Executive Director. Com
mittee Of the Arts and
Sciences for Eisenhower.
Editors note: Mr.. Lichten-
stein says he was quoting
from memory. Bartlett's
Quotations bears = out Mr..
Rogers in the correctness of
the source of the quotationD
I understand that my letter
concerning the quotation from
IbSen in Ike's Cow Palace ac-
ceptance speech, has drawn an
indignant reply from a G. O.,P.
scholar who notes with
triumph that ! guessed wrong
about the precise source of the
quotation in Ibsen's writings.
But why strain at gnats?
Ibsen's approach to social and
political problems was as diff
ferent from Ike's as night
from day. Ibsen conducted a
lifelong battle against the
stupidity, the weight of the
majority" as the Encyclopae-
dia Britannica observes.
When Ibsen spoke of being
Gin league with the future" he
certainly did not have any
political party in mind. He
was the man Who wrote: "A
party is like q sausage ma
chine; it maSheS up all sorts
of heads together into the
same mincemeat - fatheads
and blockheads, all in one
maSh!" Also, Is. party pro-
grammes strange every young
