Navy Coach Ray Swartz said
the wrestling is scheduled imme-

basketball game the same night.
He said Army would be just one
more tough obstacle on a tough

World Is Overcrowded,
Science Conference Told

DR.. Osborn said. 1.-THE three
natural controls on population
increase--starvation, disease and
war--either have been removed
or are Of small influence. The
consequence is that there has
been a violent and completely
unprecedented increase in pop
ulation throughout the world in
the last century.
THE rate Of increase continues
to accelerate. During the last
100 years the worlds population
has increased from IL billion to
"a billion, or an average Of Il
million per year. But some 300
million have been added to the
earth's numbers within only the
last 10 years. or an average Of
80 million per year. The present
increase Is estimated to be near
100000 every day."
In the major industrial coun.
tries. such as the United States
and Russia, DR.. Brown said. IN
dustrial production has doubled
every I'VE to 10 years. still, basic
food production has increased
only about 2 per cent a year
while population now Is increas.
ing at a rate Of about 3 per cent.
DR.. Herbert c. Kelman Of the
National Institute OF Mental
Health at Bethesda. Nd, today
was awarded the associations

search award for studies Of the

before presented on earth"
A somewhat different view was
presented at meetings today by
DR.. Fairfield Osborn Of the New
York Geological Society and DR.,
Harrison Brown Of the California
Institute Of Technology.
Unprecedented Increase
Both stressed that greater pro-
duction apparently leads to
greater populations. Dr.. Brown
said 1t may ultimately be possible
to increase food supplies 1000
times over production at present
and that the world can provide
food for as many as so billion
individuals. But. unfortunately.
there may be more than that II

The negative mu meson is one
OF an assortment Of particles
which come from the nucleus Of
an atom when it is bombarded.
Like other charged particles, 1t
leaves a trail Of vapor as 1t
travels through q gas or liquor
which can be expanded or con-
tracted rapidly. But 1t lives only
two-millionths of a second and
then turns into an eIectron.
The scientists said the posi-
bilities would be interesting" II

ing properties similar to those
OF the mu meson, could be found
in the realm Of matter. The
Russian physicist, Alikhanian.
has reported evidence a particle
exists which might make the
process practicable. but no ac-
tual discovery has been made.

The other two atomic methods
require uranium or million-de-

Atomic Particle Used
The new process involves an
atomic particle called q negative
mu meson that pulls together the
nuclei Of a heavy hydrogen atom
and a light hydrogen atom and
fuses them into a helium atom
The fusion causes the two hydro
gen nuclei to lose some weight
which is converted into energy.
The reaction is fundamentally
the same thing that happens In

selves lest your heart be deceived
and Ye turn aside and serve other
gods thou shalt write them on
the doorposts of thy house."
In the time of my remote youth,
we were not exactly sure what
was inside the mezuzah, except
there was something holy in it..
So, when we passed the dooorpost
we touched it with our fingers,
then kissed the fingers.
In the Universal Jewish EncY-
clopedia a piece by Mr.. Max
Joseph tells me that long. long ago
even before the magnetic
mezuzah for the car there
were those who felt sure there
was good luck in rnezuzahs. In
fact. for the sake of luck. the an
cient Egyptians and later the
Mohammedans also had objects
like the mezuzah nailed on their
doorposts. Says Mr.. Joseph: THE
mezuzahs was expected TO ward
off evil spirits 80. and to protect
from demons Of all kinds: for this
reason. the names of the angels.
names of God were placed in
the mezuzah box in addition TO
the original Biblical passages. The
misuse of the mezuzah and the
abuse of the basic idea were Bit
terlY and resolutelY opposed by
Maimonedes in his great religious
work Yad Hahazakah."
When I look around in these
times don't find as many mezu-
zahs on doorposts as in the time
of my youth. Maybe it's because
Jews today feel it's much more
important to keep the Command
ments in their hearts and minds
and in the deeds of their hands
than in a small tin box at the
front door. Let's hope so, anyway,

word about it to my wife. 1 feel
quite sure that she, in her de-
vastating backseat manner, would
have said, Really, how big a

And. after all. I did find luck
in this magnetic mezuzah. You
see. this is hot summer day and
it's the day for writing this col
umn. and on hot. sweatY day
like this the columnar mind is
something almost dead like
the notionless leaves on the oak
tree in front of our house not
a breeze blowing on Them. What
shall I write about on a day like
this? Oh. for the glimmering Of
an idea!
Then, all at once, it comes, as if
by the luck of the magnetic mezu-
zah that had been on my mind, as
it might on the dashboard of my
car: Why not write about mezu-
zahs? Why are mezuzahs?
What's their history? /. Do all
who have them really know why
the mezuzah is on their doorposts
:. And what's inside a mezuzah?
So I went searching: First of
all. mezuzah means doorpost. It
contains a small parchment scroll
on which are printed the Sh'ma
and some verses out of Deuteron-
omY: "EIearken diligently unto my
commandments These words
