the present he wants. Other
people so often have tastes and
preferences that differ from our
own-for example, think of all

Integrotion and Propaganda

Both Governor Stanley, in his address
to the Virginia Legislature, and State
Attorney General Almond, in a luncheon
speech, have pointed to Washington as
the horrible example of what happens
when public schools are integrated. Mr..
Almond has gone further, accusing the
Washington newspapers Of suppresSing
the facts.
We do not believe these gentlemen
are any more correct in their impressions
than those who believe that integration
has proved an unqualified success. We
do not doubt, however, that they cor
rectly state their impressions, for such
impressions seem fairly widespread. The
Washington situation has been and will
continue to be used as the source Of
propaganda on both sides of a highly
emotional controversy. People are in
clined to believe what they want to
believe. If they are not supported in
their beliefs by what they find in print,
they are quicker to conclude that the
facts are being suppressed than to ques-
tion the existence of the facts themselves.
In The Stars own efforts to report
the factual news of school integration
In Washington, we have been impressed
with the number and variety of rumorS,
passed around by word of mouth, and the
difficulty of establishing thetr basis in
fact. Certain facts have been established,
such as the poor showing of Washington
public schools in achievement tests. This
condition was not caused by integration.
1ntegration, however, exposed it's exist
ence, and the argument follows that such
conditions are avoidable by segregation.
In time, we believe, people every
where will be more interested in getting
at the root of such problems than in
blaming their existence on integration.
But the problems meanwhile, lend them
selves to anti-integration propaganda,
and we may expect the situation in
Washington to be fully exploited in Vir-
ginia and elsewhere. And as long as the
Board of Education clings to its stupid
policy of preventing the frank and full
release Of school racial statistics, it will
encourage the spread of rumor and delay
the steps aimed at treating conditions
that integration has brought to light.

The ConvoIescence Over

President Eisenhower has provided
some persuasive evidence in the past week
that the issue of his health need not be
frightening one to his supporters during
the coming political campaign. For those
who watched on television his arrival in
San Francisco, his news conference, his
convention address and his lively re-
Sponse to the friendly crowds who
cheered his every public appearance must
have been impressed by his .vigor and
energy. And If this were not enough,
the reports of four 18-hole rounds of golf
in as many days at Pebble Beach-topped
with his "beSt round" on the final day
should be sufficient to convince at least
the nonpartiSan SkepticS that he has
made a fine recovery from his two ILL
nesseS 1t is not surprising, on the basis
of this showing and probably on even
more sound evidence, that DR.. Snyder,
his personal physician, was willing to say,
Il think we can call the convalescence
over"
All but the most partisan of oppo-
nents undoubtedly are pleased that this
is so. Mr.. Eisenhower has heavy re-
sponsibilities facing him in the next few
months, including tough international
issues like the Suez crisis. And on the
domestic political side, he faces a COM
parably demanding period The Repub-
lican Party has demonstrated its over
whelming confidence in his ability to lead
1t to second victory in November. He
has accepted that responsibility with
equal confidence. The Republican lead
ership is fully aware it will be a tough
campaign, and Mr.. Eisenhower is dis
cusSing that fact of life with National
Chairman Hall today.
1t is good, to summarize, that the
President appears fully fit to deal with
these varied responsibilities. The times
demand physical energy and mental
vigor in the Nations leadership, political
and otherwise.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Resistance to Radiation Under Study
By THOMAS r. HENRY
There is hereditary resist
anca IN radiation

There is hereditary resist
ance to radiation.
This may be a single diff
ference passed on from parents
to offspring, depending on a
single gene. or it may be q
combination of many differ
enceS.
The resistance has been
demonstrated in mice by ex-
periments conducted at the
Argonne Laboratory Of the
Atomic Energy Commission in
Chicago. The findings. of
course. may not apply to
humans. but the genetics Of
man is in most ways very sim
liar to the genetics Of mice.
The Argonne experimenters
have found, in brief. that there
is a quite considerable differ
ence in the amount Of radia-
ton that will cause the death
of half an exposed population
within 80 days, depending on
the genetic background of the
animals exposed.
Notable differences, how
ever, have been found in the
sensitivity within the same
genetic strain depending on
sex and age, which leads the
investigators to believe that
there are several hereditary
factors involved.
Admittedly science as yet
has little more than scratched
the surface of the relations
between genetics and radia-
tion, a subject brought sharply
into focus recently by the ST.
multaneous reports of the Ma
tional Academy Of Sciences and
a similar British group. In the
past the Atomic Energy Com
mission has tended to take a
more optimistic position than
that expressed in either Of
these reports, to say nothing
of much more alarming state
ments of various independent
investigators in both countries.
Grows More Complicated
The commission. however.
has continued intensive stud
les and published the results.
regardless of possible implica-
tions : and interpretations.
About all that can be said is
that the phenomena are much
more complicated than it ap-
peared a few years ago.
A good deal depends, for
example, on the type as we'll
as on the amount of radiation.
This is probably the most i'm
portant finding from the latest
studies reported by the COM
mission from the Argonne la
boratory.
Both plants and animals
have been exposed to two types
of radiation in approximately
equal amounts. The first is
radiation to beams of fast
neutrons, the infinitesimally
minute, electrically unchanged
particles which form part of
all atomic nuclei and are re-
leased in both the f1ssion and
fusion processes of energy pro-
duction. The second is radia-
ton with beams of gamma
rays. similar to highly pene-
trating X-rays. From the
plant and animal experiments
it is hoped to get some basis
for predictions of the effects
on man.
In the neutron radiation it
apparently made little differ

Matter Of Fact

This is to correct certain
. errors contained in the story
headed "Virginians Urged to
Gust old and Tired Leaders"
which appeared in The Star Of
August %.
The advice was attributed to
Albert B. Rosenbaum, alter
nate delegate at large to the
recent democratic National
Convention, who was said to
have addressed the recent
meeting of the Young Demo-
cratic Club of Fairfax County.
Please be assured that Mr..
RoSenbaum was not even
present at the meeting and,
therefore, could not have made
the statements alleged to have
been made by him.
1t was my honor to render
a report on the Chicago con-
vention on behalf of Mr..
RoSenbaun1. and / met with
Mr.. RoSenbaum twice before
addressing the Young Demo-
Gratis. At no time in my con-
versations with him did Mr..
RoSenbaum diSparage or urge
the replacement of the leaders
of the Democratic Party in
Virginia, and ] am certain that
in my report l gave no indica-
ton that such might have been
Mr.. Rosenbaum's feelings.
In my report to the Young
Democrats I related the man.
ner in which the Virginia dele
cation had caucused daily. how
it selected former Gov.
Battle to be the presidential
nominee and Senator Kennedy
to be the vice presidential nom
inee, and how it opposed the
civil rights plank in the plat
form, as these matters had
been related to me by Mr..
RoSenbaum. l concluded my
remarks with the statement
that Mr.. Rosenbaum had been
very much encouraged by the
number of intelligent and
aggressive young leaders who
were in evidence in Chicago,
such as Gov. Clement, State
Senator Richardson of Cali
fornia. and SO on, and that
Virginia needed such young
leaders. / said that inso-
far as Mr.. Rosenbaum had a
special message for the young
Democrats of Virginia it was
to become active in the affairs
of their party. to work vigor-
ously in its behalf and to pre-
pare to furnish the leadership
an their communities.
The derogatory remarks err
roneously ascribed to Mr..
Rosenbaum, I am sure, have
caused him considerable en-
barrassment. and / am obliged
to set the record straight.

Red Fly in the Ointment

Although describing himself as mot
at all hopeless" about finding peaceful
way out of the Suez crisis, Secretary
Dulles has made clear at his news con-
ference that his optimism Is at best
decidedly restrained This is SO because
there is big fly in the ointment that he
trying to apply to the situation. And the
fly, of course, is the Soviet Union.
Egyptian President NaSser, for his
own part, has done a somewhat encour-
aging thing in agreeing to meet with the
flve-nation committee organized at the
recent London Conference to talk with
him about the majority plan for inter-
national operation of the Suez Canal.
But that fact, promising as it may be,
is greatly Offset by the further fact that
the Kremlin seems bound and determined
to do whatever it can to prevent an
agreement and keep the pot boiling in
the Middle East.
Thus, as Mr.. Dulles has said in ad-
mirably fortnight language, the Soviet
Union has been-and still iS-engaged
IN bombarding Egypt with ''very vicious
type" OF propaganda obviously calculated
to infiame mass emotions and make it
extremely difficult for President Nasser
to accept even fair solution" In that
respect, the Kremlin stands alone among
the 20 governments party to the London
Conference. None of the others in the
minority at that meeting (Ceylon, Indo-
nesia and India, plus RuSsia) has attacked
the 18-nation majority plan as an express
sion of imperialism" and "colonialism"
On the contrary, by implication at least,
they have suggested to Colonel NaSSer
that he ought not to brush it aside too
peremptorily. But Moscow, playing its
characteristic lone-wolf role as inveterate
trouble-maker, has been sparing no effort
to rub the sore where everybody else is
intensely anxious to put on healing
unguentS
What remains to be seen now is
whether President NaSSer is really his
own master, with enough influence and
authority to negotiate reasonable and
mutually satisfactory settlement. The
majority plan, which would set up an
international operating board in aSSo-
citation with the United Nations, would
fully safeguard all of Egypt's sovereign
and economic interests But the crucial
question has to do with whether or not
the Cairo government-which thinks in
terms Of national grandeur" and "mov-
ing from triumph to triumph"-is pre-
pared to let reason win out over the
Kremlin's mob-inciting mendacity.
Mr.. Dulles, on this point, has offered
some excellent advice. He has exhorted
all parties concerned to avoid infiamma-
tory propaganda Slogans" and to deal
effectively with the brass-tacks issue of
working out sensible agreement that
would be good for everybody. If only
Moscow would take his counsel to heart,
there would be little or no reason to
worry about the possibility of war In the
Suez area.

I am sure that no member

ices of a medical doctor. There
is no question that many doc
tors are Selective in the pa

deny a person medical treat

Although, as he admits,
many new Negro residents

many Negro families moving
into new neighborhoods of

Much Of this results from en-

Negroes who have migrated
