millions of star galaxies in

least a billion stars have planets
as well suited to living things as
the earth.
In DR.. Abelson's experiments.
four of the fundamental amino
acids have resulted from ultra
violet irradiation of gas mixtures
of carbon, hydrogen and nitro
gen. Several others resulted
from the University of Chicago's
work with a quite different sort
of gas mixture.
DR.. Abelson and his colleagues
have been able to produce ala
nine, glycine. sarcasine and
ethyl diamine from irradiation
of the theoretical primitive
gases.
This still, of course, is very
far from creation of life itself.
Nobody yet has been able to
synthesize a protein, a giant and
extremenly complex molecule
composed of a combination of
amino acids. In another direc-
ton, nucleonic acids, found in
the nuclei of body cells, have
been synthesized, but only with
use of material which at some
time was part of a living struc-
ture.
Essential to Nutrition

is built. Two of these are

Democrats Plan
|ToWaif-and-See
|OnLegisIation
By J. A. O'LEARY


The Democratic leaders Of the
House and Senate were in agree
ment today on a policy Of watt
ing to take a look at the
Legislative program President
Eisenhower will submit in jan
uary before drawing up one of
their own.
Individual Democrats may
prepare lists of bills they favor,
as Senator Humphrey Of Mime
sofa did yesterday. But both
Speaker Raybufn and Senate
Democratic Leader Johnson OF
Texas made it clear there will be
no official Democratic program
in advance of the converting OF
Congress.
Cites Procedure
In fact, Senator johnson
pointed out that when control
of the executive and legislative
branches is divided between the
two parties, it is the function Of
the President to propose and Of
Congress to dispose"
Where we think his proposals
1are right. we will support them.
said Senator johnson. Where
we think they need revision We
will change them, and when We
think they are bad, we will de-
feat them"
This means that the Demo-
cratic program will evolve grad.
Iually as congressional committee,
act on the bills the President
recommends.
Doubt Arises Over Control
Although some doubt ha
arisen as to whether the Demo
Gratis will be able to keep contro
lof the Senate throughout thu
1857 session, Senator johnson
confidently predicted his part,
will organize the Senate whei
it meets on January 8.
The doubt over Senate contro
grows out Of two unusual fac
tors: ID Hints by Democratic
Senator elect Lausche of Obi,
that he might vote with the Re
lpublicans on organization; (2) /;
possibility that Texas may cleo
a Republican or an Eisenhowe
Democrat to succeed Senate
J Daniel after he becomes Cover
nor of Texas on January is.
Thus. the Senate could b.
thrown into tie midway of tn
session, even though the Demo
Gratis will start out on January
with a numerical margin o
40 to Al.
Expects Democrats to Win
But Senator johnson espresso,
confidence yesterday that Texa
will elect a regular Democrat t,
succeed Senator Daniel. TIL
possibility of a Republican win
ming in Texas grows out of tn
I fact that it will be a specia
election in which one Repub
Ilican may be pitted against sew
eral Democrats and the candi
date with the highest vote vii
win. There is no apparent pro
vision as the laws now stan,
for a Democratic primary t
marrow the field down to on
Democrat
In the important field o
foreign policy, it probably wi
make no difference which part
organizes the Senate, becaus
the bipartisan approach t
affairs in the last Congress
expected to continue.
Senator johnson strengthene,
. this belief when he said
Politics should stop at tn
! waters edge" He said tn
Democrats viii support tn
: President Fundamentally whe,
they think he is right and wi
point out changes when the
think it is necessary.
The Texan ascribed Mr.. Eisen
hower's big victory Tuesday t
the fact that when the countr
is IN a crisis people rally aroun
, the President and Congress
going to do the same thing" h
added.

Of Sciences. meeting here this
week. by DR.. Philip H. Abelson,
director of the Geophysical
Laboratory Of the Carnegie In
stitution Of Washington.
DR.. Abelson and his colleagues
have started with a mixture of
gases which may be presumed
to have been poured out of the
earth's interior in volcanic
eruptions 8 OF. 4 billion years
ago. BY irradiating these gases
with ultraviolet light, the in
visible part Of the spectrum of
the sun whose wave lengths are
somewhat shorter than those
Of visible light, they have
created four amino acids.
Amino acids are relatively SIM
pie chemical combinations. They
are joined together into giant
molecules, proteins. which ir
turn are the bricks of which
muscles, glands and blood are
built.
Was Devoid Of Air
According to one of the two
geophysical theories now gen.
orally held, the planet earth al
the beginning-perhaps six bill
lion years ago-was completely
devoid of air and water. 1t wa
a hot mass with a seething in
terror which exploded in thu
form of volcanoes.
Out of these explosions caml
hydrogen and oxygen which
combined to form water. Thu
came the seas. There were man.
other gases-carbon, hydrogen
oxygen and nitrogen combina
tions-which became the atmos
phere.
Another theory holds that tn
earth had a primitive atmos
phere, composed chiefly o
methAne. or marsh gas. ant
ammonia, such as now are be
lieved to constitute the atmos
pheres of the big. cold planets
Jupiter and Uranus.
Some years ago at the Uni
versity of Chicago, amino acid
were created by passing electri
cal discharges and ultraviole
light through an ammonia
methane mixture.
The accomplishment wa
hailed at the time as one Of tn
greatest "breakthroughs" in tn
history Of biology.

Life long has been considere
by many something peculiar I

system. This still is general
accepted, although it is admitte
that a low order Of life. whic

should do in making the decision as
to whether to put land in the soil bank
or harvest the wheat:
1. Make a close estimate of your
yield. A bushel or so either way may
be important
2. Find out what your normal yield
figure is.
8. Know what the support price for
your county is.
4. Consider the quality of the wheat.
If your wheat will be worth more or
less than the average loan price, it
may make difference.
S. Estimate the extra harvesting
costs involved in case you cut the wheat.
ACREAGE RESERVE FOR 1857
The acreage reserve program for this
year has lot of special provisions
which apply only to 1856. This was made

wheat) you will probably have to de-
eide on your acreage reserve at seeding
time. Then you'll have to guess your
yields quite bit in advance in decid-
ing whether you're better off in or out
of the program.
Under present law you are eligible
for price supports if you comply with
your acreage allotment, regardless of
whether you go into the. soil bank or
not. You will have to estimate whether
you can make more money by raising
wheat or by making an acreage reserve
agreement.
The Department of Agriculture has
not yet issued the regulations for 1857,
so we can't give you much information
right now. But before next fall, we'll try
to give you something on the 1857 reg
ulations. We will also give you some
information on the conservation reserve
when it becomes available.

J. O. Tretsven, dairy specialist for the
Montana Extension Service for more
than 81 years and now retired, has re-
ceived the award of 1000 presented
by a dairy equipment company and
gold medal given in recognition of out
standing work in the extension dairy
field. The award was made at the
Golden Jubilee meeting of the Ameri-
can Dairy Science Association held at
the University of Connecticut. Tretsven
made the trip east for the presentation.
During the many years he Travelled
Montana as extension dairy specialist,
Tretsven became well known to dairy
men for his practical ideas on the
breeding, feeding and management of
dairy cattle. He also introduced
number of innovations that have been
widely adopted for increasing eff
cheney in dairy production.

Preach 10 Reds

BUDAPEST. Hungary. July 80
R. - Hungary's Protestant
Christians filled some Of the ma
tons largest churches to over
flowing yesterday in swelt0'ing
heat to hear sermons by pastors
from Western nations.
The pastors are attending the
nine-day conference Of the CEN
trail committee Of tire World
Council Of Churches at nearby
Galyatetoe. The nearly 400 par
Elephants are from West and East
alike.
In the Lutheran church in
Budapest some Hungarians came
up to Americans and other for
eigners in the congregation and
patted them on the hands to ex-
press welcome. Many stayed in
the streets long after the serv-
ice to cheer and wave to the pas
tors
The Western pastors spoke
mostly of the need for world
wide church unity, universal love
and spiritual brotherhood.
At the Lutheran church. DR..
Franklin Clark Fry, president of
the United Lutheran Church in
America, preached about Gods
love for the humble people, cit
ing New Testament stories of
Jesus aid to the poor and lowly.
The most stirring moment of
the service came when the con-
gregation rendered multi-ling-
ual singing of Martin Luther's
old battle hymn "A Mighty For

even more compelling. An old

cient benediction. Blessed art

We visited the impressive
Leningrad synagogue. Rabbi
Israel Mowshowitz of Jamaica,
IN. Y, addressed the congrega-
ton. When he explained. in the
honey. familiar Yiddish tongue.
that we were bound together by
love of God and devotion to our
common spiritual heritage. we
could sense the surge of emotion
in the pews.

biness of the rest of the Worship
pers. He was evidently high up
in government circles. In the
course of conversation. later, he
spoke critically Of American mill
tarism in contrast to the Soviet
passion for peace.
Yet, as Rabbi Mowshowitz
spoke, his whole body throbbed
with excitement, and the tears
fell unashamedly on his cheeks,
"Our guest rabbi has violated the
Sabbath! one congregant shout
ed after the sermon. HE has
kindled a flame in our hearts!
according to biblical law. a
flame may not be kindled on the
Sabbath.)
| At a special farewell service,
Rabbi Mowshowitz's closing
words were greeted with a burst
of appluse from the women's
gallery. Synagogue officials
tried in vain to still them-this
was sacrilege in a house Of God
but all they achieved for their
efforts were a few defiant shouts
for good measure.
The spirit of this people crush
ed though it was, has not been
completely broken.
I'VE still have a tremendous
thirst-an unquenchahle thirst
for the word of God" many OF
the old people told us.
But among the young. there
was less ground for hope. There
was little evidence, at least out
wardly, that Russian Jewish
youth is aware of THE God OF
our fathers"
