False Front

Not so long ago, especially around
the time of the Republican National Con-
vention, there was strong suspicion that
Dwight d. Eisenhower had stolen the
New Deal political baby and was intro
ducing it to all and Sundry as his own.
But now we have it on the authority of
Adlai Stevenson, who believes in talking
sense" to the American people, that this
isn't so.
According to Mr.. Stevenson, this is
all false front. Mr.. Eisenhower is no
friend of the New Deal and certainly not
of the Fair Deal. He is just an ingenious
and ruthless fellow who has been flying
fine phrases on the winds of campaign
oratory." And at the same time he has
been using "the power of the White House
to undermine the progress made in the
administrations of Franklin Roosevelt
and Harry Truman"
And how has this sinister figure, this
enemy of the people, gone about this?
According to Mr. Stevenson, it's very
simple. The President has appointed an
enemy of public housing to run the pub
lie housing program. He has put an
opponent of the Federal income tax in
charge of the Bureau of Internal Revenue.
He has packed the National Labor Rela-
tionS Board with men who are against
collective bargaining And he has done
much the same in the cases of such agen-
cieS as the Federal Power Commission, the
Interior Department, the Tariff Com
mission and the foreign aid program. In
the face of such massive sabotage as this,
the wonder is that even fragment of
the New Deal-Fair Deal remains And
the greatest wonder is that there still
are some people, notably those who make
up the hard core of the Republican Old
Guard, who persist in thinking that Mr..
Eisenhower really is a New Dealer travel
ing under Republican label-much too
far to the left for their taste.
Mr.. Stevenson, of course, was not
Intentionally addressing himself to these
hard-shelled Republicans But, even so,
he may have brought little comfort
into their lives. For if they can believe
him, the future may seem little less
dark, little less dismal. If Mr.. Steven
son is right, if this man Eisenhower
really is an Old Guard wolf in New Deal
clothing, it may yet be possible for them
to turn the clock back to the 'good old
days." We fear, however, that the Repub-
lican right wing, disillusioned as it is,
will not find it possible to believe Mr..
Stevenson. In fact, we doubt that very
many people, of whatever political faith,
are going to take him seriously in this
latest campaign broadside.

Maine Went Thotowoy

There is no doubt about how Maine
went-it went to the Democrats. in big
way. But we are inclined to be skeptical
of the claim that this is evidence of
trend which shows how the country will
60 in November.
1t is true that the President, unwiSely,
we think, appealed openly to Maine voters
to support the Republican candidates. 1t
is also true that these candidates, when
their turn came, stumped the State with
the cry that "a vote for Republicans is
vote for Eisenhower" But this is more
than slightly phony, and your typical
Maine man can recognize phony pack
age when he sees it.
State elections, generally speaking,
are decided by local issues, local person.
alities and local organization. Presi-
dent down in Washington, even though
his own popularity may be high, can do
little to influence them, as Franklin
Roosevelt discovered in 1888. Our guess
Is that Maine went Democratic because
the voters there approve of the job that
Governor Muskie did in his first term
and thought he should have second.
And the congressional voting, as fire.
uuently is the case, followed the pattern
of the gubernatorial balloting. We doubt
that this State election, standing alone.
is any evidence that President Eisen-
hover, who carried Maine in 1852 by
$4,000 votes to $4,000 for Adlai Steven
son, is facing defeat in November The
chances are that the Maine Democrats,
although they are not saying this now,
were right when they told the voters
during the campaign that this is State
election and you will be electing State
Governor, not the President"
The real national advantage which
the Democrats derive from the Maine
results is psychological in nature. In this
sense, 1t is Of no small Importance. If
the Republicans, as some Of their leaders
contend, have been basking in the warm
sunshine Of complacency, we dare say
that the chill is on them now.

Brighter Zoninq Prospect

It is reassuring that ConSultant
Harold NJ Lewis has apparently decided to
modify some of his more controversial
proposals for revising Washington's zon-
ing code.
The first word of his decision came
from an aide, who said the final draft
of Mr.. Lewis proposals, to be given the
Commissioners in November, will sub
stantially reduce the tight building con-
trolls Mr.. Lewis has proposed for down.
town Washington.
This likelihood was fortified yesterday
by the Planning Commissions first report
on the coming revision After lengthy
conference with Mr.. Lewis, the planners
rejected his downtown proposals and
made other recommendations in highly
objective report. A major factor in Mr..
Lewis thinking was the view that in
creaSing auto traffic, and declining transit
use, would create intolerable overcrowding
unless future downtown employment is
restricted The Planning Commission,
quite correctly, suggested that this basic
premise couldn't be proved until Wash
ington's current 100000 transportation
study shows what the city's future auto
transit pattern will be.
This same point has been raised by a
special subcommittee of the Citizens
zoning Advisory Committee, in a report
which generally attacks Mr.. Lewis zon-
ing proposals as excessive and unneces-
sary. This report, prepared by Attorney
James C. Wilkes, documents in clear-cut
fashion objections and counter proposals
of a good segment of the citys business
community.
Moves toward agreement on the
downtown" zoning issue will not. Of
course, resolve all the controversy which
is certain to remain after Mr.. Lewis files
his final report in November. But they
are the first hopeful step in the right
direction.
Meanwhile, the new Planning Com
mission and Wilkes committee reports,
viewing many of Mr.. Lewis initial pro-
posals from different sides, are certain to
help the city appraise the consultants

Louisville Inteqrotes

In many respects Louisville Is essen
TALLY Southern community. Yet this
city of some 100000 people has been able
to integrate its public schools without
any significant trouble-in notable con-
traSt to the disorders in such smaller
Kentucky communities as SturgiS and
Clay What is the secret of Louisville'S
apparent success?
Indignation in Louisville has not been
token affair. About one-fourth of its
$4,000 school-age children are Negroes.
OF 70 schools, 81 have been integrated-
the others being in all-white or all-Negro
areas. In the integrated schools, some
classes will have less than / per cent
Negro enrolment. But in others it runs
as high as AZ per cent. Four hundred
white children of elementary school age
have been assigned to formerly all-Negro
schools, and will be outnumbered in those
schools by Negroes. Certainly, assuming
that the absence Of public opposition on
the first day is indicative of popular
sentiment, this is major achievement.
How was it done?
Undoubtedly, the success of the
undertaking is due to many reasons. For
one thing, there is the difference in
people and in way of life. Louisville has
little in common with community like
Sturgis, for instance. Another reason
is that indignation was preceded by two
years of careful, intelligent preparation.
The superintendent of schools, DR.. Omer
Carmichael, is a Southerner by birth
and background. He combined an under
CID nf OF xrtffI
belief that Louisville should comply with
the Supreme Courts ruling, and he has
faithfully preached this doctrine to par
ents' groups, civic and business leaders.
Two years of this won for him the sup
port of most Of the people of the city.
But even so, DR.. Carmichael wisely de-
cided not to ignore the wishes of parents
who objected to indignation. All parents
were notified several months ago that
integration was going into effect, and
those who objected we're told that, facil-
tiles permitting, they could transfer their
children from integrated to noninte-
grated schools. An unannounced number
did so.
There remained the problem Of Negro
teachers. Indignation at the teaching
level has not yet been attempted and the
Negro teachers have been assigned this
year to all-Negro schools. 1--WE are TAX
ing one step at time," DR.. Carmichael
explained.
There is no disputing the fact, how
ever, that this first step which Louisville
has taken is long one. And the success
with which it has been taken testifies
to the need of planning, advance prepare
ton, and the wisdom Of handling this
problem as far as possible at the local
level, instead Of trying to impose some
rigid formula on an entire State without
regard to varying attitudes and circum-
stances In different communities.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Male and Female Blood Are Different
BY THOMAS r. HENRI

Woman's blood Is different
from mans.
This finding, which may
have considerable practical inn
portance in identification Of
blood stains and the like, has
just been reported in the
American Journal of Clinical
Pathology by Drs. Francis j.
Tenczar and David E. STREET,
matter Of the Medical School
Of Northwestern University.
The difference, which can be
detected under high magnifi-
cation, they report. is found In
the So-called polynuclear leu
cocytes which, in human
beings, constitute about 70 per
cent of the white blood cells.
The significant sex differ
ence, it is pointed out, may
extend throughout the NAM
malian race.
This type Of blood cell is
distinguished by having a two
lobed nucleus, like a micro
scopic brain. The two lobes
joined by extremely fine
threads Of a protein-like ma
terial, of some same sort which
makes UP the chromosomes, or
strings Of genes. the units Of
heredity, in cells.
Attached to one of the lobes
in some female blood cells. the
two doctors found. there is a
solitary mass Of this material
attached to a nearly invisible
thread to one Of the blood
cell lobes. This Is entirely
lacking in the male. The mass,
the function Of which is UNI
known, is about a 80 mill
lionth-of- an-inch in diameter.
Result Of Tests
Routine blood smears were
collected from 100 adults by a
technician who recorded the
sex of each patient. The record
was not known to the doctors
who conducted the microscopic
examinations. Correct sex
determinations, however, were
made from 81 out of 81 such
smears. In the three cases
Of failure there were evidences
of blood disease.
An examination of more
than 10000 female leucocytes
showed that the curious cell
appendage occurs in about /

in male cells.
The tests were made to con-
firm observations advanced by
other physicians about five
years ago.
Slight sex differences also
have been reported, they say.
in both skin and nerve cells.
These have been demonstrated
not only in man but in several
lower animals. 1t is not un-
likely that the blood cell APP

may be responsible for schizo-
phrenia, or mind splitting"
Apparently victims of this
mysterious but common mem
tai disease synthesize various
amino acids-the building
stones of proteins which in
turn are the building stones of
the body-from their food into
compounds quite unlike those
synthesized by normal indi-
viduals.
This is shown in q report to
the American Association for
the Advancement of Science
here by DR.. Patrick L. McGeer
and his associates Of the Uni
versity Of British Columbia.
Compounds Are Anomalies
The compounds, found in
excretions Of the schizophren-
les. only. are so-called aro-
mates, combinations Of carbon
and nitrogen atoms in certain
patterns similar to some of
those used in making synthetic
perfumes. All can be made
up from the amino acids ala
nine, tyrosine and tryptophan
which are contained in pro-
TEN foods and small amounts
Of which probably are essential
in human diet. They undergo
many changes and combina-
tons in the process Of metabo-
lism.
When these were withdrawn
from the diets the compounds
disappeared.
The changed diet. DIR. Nc
Geer stresses, apparently
made no difference in the
mental condition of the sub
jects. All. however, were old
cases in which the pattern
of Schizophrenic behavior was
firmly established. 1t can be
postulated, he points out, that
the abnormal compounds are
at the bottom of the psychosis.
They are formed when the
processes Of metabolism go
wrong and affect the brain.
Eventually the brain changes
become fixed and irreversible.
Only in the very early stages
Of the disease. not easily
detachable, could a change in
diet be Of help.
For years psychiatrists have
tried to find some steady
physical difference between
victims of various psychoses
and normal persons-for the
most part with little success.
The significance of this find-
ing. it is pointed out in the
report. is that such a differ
ence has been found for the
first time in schizOphrenia.

house.
The space left for the medi-
cine cabinet had been selected.
The builder gave orders to
delay the installation of the
cabinet. and for three weeks
the mother and father robins
flew in and out, regardless Of
workmen or noise.
Modern lights and noises. no

seem to frighten the songsters.
Common sparrows are known
to build almost anywhere.
In the bus terminal at Chevy

times a small baby head pokes
