Example for the World

Our inter-American program of tech
nical aid and cooperation continues to
grow in scale and effectiveness. According
to the latest official report on it, it is
bigger now than ever before and it is
steadily expanding. AS result, many
millions of people in the republics to the
south of us are receiving constantly in
creaSing benefits in the form of better
transportation, better schooling, better
hospitals, better agricultural and indus
trial techniques, and numerous other
advances contributing to a better life in
general.
Figures just released by the Interna-
tional Cooperation Administration show
that the United States, in order to help
carry out all this good work, has within
the past year extended nearly $73 million
In technical and emergency assistance
the largest annual amount of nonmili-
tary aid given to Latin America since the
programs start in 1912. OF this total, the
sum of S29 million has gone into the nom
emergency projects administered by the
Institute of Inter- American Affairs. And
In turn, as their contribution to the mu-
tually enriching enterprise, the recipient
nations have put up $50 million in match
ing funds, plus the equivalent of mil
lions of dollars more in local goods and
services.
AS the measurable results prove, this
program constitutes one of the most
promising Of all international cooper
ative undertakings It has succeeded
already in promoting important gains
socially, economically and otherwise
throughout Latin America, and its great
potentials still remain to be exploited.
Although not spectacular, it has demon
strated in its quiet fashion how continue
ing collaboration of this kind can greatly
strengthen our entire hemisphere in a
way that should set an excellent example
for the world at large.

Mr.. St0ssen's s Per Cent

The big gun in Harold StasSen's
oump-Nixon campaign is his claim that
an Eisenhower Herter ticket would get
more votes than an Eisenhower Nixon
ticket
Mr.. StaSSen does not always state this
proposition in exactly the same terms.
For example, he said in his July "a state
ment that, according to his private poll,
an ElSenhoWer-Herter ticket would run at
least per cent stronger than an EiSen-
hoWer-Nixon ticket. A few days later he
told the National Press Club that the
presence of Mr.. Nixon'S name on the
ticket will "detract millions of votes
from the very broad popularity of the
President
These two statements are not in
complete harmony. We take it, however.
that Mr.. Stassen, by applying the per
cent figure to Mr.. EiSenhower's total vote
In 1852, has calculated that the Republi-
cans will lose about 2,O00,0 900 votes if Mr..
Nixon is the vice presidential candidate
There is one big difficulty with this
calculation. 1t does not seem to jibe with
a recent Trendex poll, which showed that
1875 per cent of the voters who favor Mr..
Eisenhower would prefer Mr.. Nixon as his
running mate. Only 16.5 per cent would
prefer Mr.. Herter.
q Mr.. StaSsen is not troubled at all by
this show of Nixon strength. He says it
merely proves his point You See," he
told queStioner on ABCs College Press
Conference Sunday, "the 1875 per cent
favoring Mr.. Herter in that poll is really
greater than the 6 per cent figure 1 have
used"
This is strange kind of reasoning.
In the first place, the 1875 per cent who
preferred Mr.. Herter in the Trendex poll
did not say that they would vote against
the ticket or stay home if Mr.. Nixon'S
name was on it. In the second place, it
does not take into account the number
of pro-Nixon Republicans among the 835
per cent preferring him who might vote
against the ticket or stay home if he is
eased out of the No. 2 spot.
We think Mr.. StaSSen ought to put all
OF his cards on the table. Upon what,
precisely, does he base his claim that
millions of votes" would be lost to an
EisenhoWer-Nixont ticket? Was his private
poll merely preference poll, or did it
establish that 6 per cent of the Republic
can voters would vote against an EiSen-
hower-Nixon ticket or not vote at all?

A Touch of Grace

What this country needs may be too
complex and obscure for the most pene-
trating minds Nevertheless, Senators
Mansfield and Neuberger have supplied
one suggestion which men of good will
can think upon and think we'll of.
A little grace, they think, is direly in
order for the remainder of this election
year Concretely, they propose morato-
rum on public and morbid discussion OF
the Presidents health. They do not mini
mize the Importance of Mr.. Eisenhower's
physical condition. What they do is to
decry the outrageous dominance the sub
iect has attained in human conversation,
especially the political variety.
How much weight their proposal to
restore national dignity at the expense
of national morbidity will attain is a
matter Of melancholy conjecture. But no
one can question the graciousness Of the
Mansfield suggestion, or Of Senator Neu-
berger's concurrence.

WSTAS IN SCIENCE
BY THOMAS R. HENRY
Eleven Nations Join in Antarctic Study

Scientists of II nations will
occupy 81 observing stations
in the Antarctic during the
next "a months-with from
three to 20 men at each-as
part of the worldwide pro-
gram for the International
Geophysical Year.
These stations will form a
cooperative network for
study of the physical phenom-
ena of this hitherto least
known area of the earth. In
addition to Z American posts,
there will be IL British sta
tons, 10 Argentine, 9 Chilean,
4 French and 4 Australian.
Other nations which will
sponsor such outposts at the
bottom of the planet will be
Russia. Japan, New Zealand,
Norway, South Africa and
Australia. A few are occupied
on a temperament basis.
such as the French outpost at
Cape Geologic on the coast
of Adele Land, British,
Argentine and Chilean posts
on the northward jutting
Palmer Peninsula and nearby
islands, and Australian sta
lions on the coast of Ender-
by Land and on Heard and
Macquerie islands of the En-
derby coast. Activities of all,
however, will be greatly in
creased during the geophysical
year and all have agreed on a
common cooperative program
OF observations.
U. S. Gets Key Position
The United States will have
a key position with its stra-
logically located posts, most
notable of which will be at
the South Pole. Plans of Rus
STA to man a similar post now
have been abandoned as a
duplication of effort. Instead
the Russians have accepted
what appears to be the tough
est job of all. They will &C.
cupy two stations in the mid
die of the ice cap, south of
the Knox and Wilkes coasts
which are approximately south
OF Australia. These stations
will be about 200 miles apart
and 800 miles from the nearest
neighbors. Russia also will
maintain a supply post of
the coast, from which the ice
cap camps will be serviced by
snow tractor and air drops.
Great Britain, which has
taken a major role in Ant
arctic exploration for the past
$50 years, has accepted a her
culean role-that of sending
two snow tractor expeditions
inland from the Weddell and
Ross seas, to meet near the
United States station at the
pole. The expedition from
the Weddell coast will traverse
the completely unknown coun-
try-even from the air-which
Adm. Richard E. Byrd has
described as "the land beyond
the pole" The bottom of the
earth has not hitherto been
approached from this direc-
ton. This expedition will leave
from a camp already estab-
lished on the Weddell coast,

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES (. TRACEWELL

"All the memories of our
childhood recalled by Temple
ton Jones"
What are memories but tags
and ends of life?
Memories, memories" went
the old song.
They chase through the
mind. and happy is he or she
whose memories are of happy
times.
One wonders what memories
will be like so or 100 years
from now, chasing through the
turbulent minds of persons
who had perturbed childhoodS.
4 + 4
In the old days, there seemed
to have been a better balance
of restraint and freedom.
Now the world of childhood
has gone off on the mo re-
straint, no repression" tangent,
and look what we have got.
An oldster, watching the
young ones, wonders just when
the change came about.
Nobody seemed to repress
him. in his childhood, but he
certainly refrained from doing
certain things.
Today, the little ones do not
refrain.
That seems to be it.
They are so chock full of
vitamins, minerals and pro-
teins. to name only three, their
lungs so charged with fresh
air, and their skins so tanned.
that they long for action.
Action. with them, means
fooling around with anything
they run across.
Right there. an older watcher
thinks, lies the whole nub of
the juvenile delinquency mat
ter.
In his day, boys ran into all
manner Of things, but they let
them alone.
Now the kids poke, prod,
and pry.
They must touch, roll, tum-
BILE, twist.
Often the touching and
prodding and so on border on
pure mischief.
In other words, children to-
day are much closer to the
mischief phase of life than
formerly.

The police say that parents
should not only know where
their children are, but also
know just what they are doing.

Worninq to Iceland

The people Of Iceland, and the islands
new government should read thought
fully the statement of the North Atlantic
Council on the present defense agreement
between Iceland and the United States.
For in earnestly recommending that the
agreement remain in force, the Council
has emphasized among other things the
very great threat to the small North
Atlantic country that would be created
by withdrawal of American troops and
the virtual dismantling of our defense
bases there. AS the Council points out,
Iceland alone among the Is members of
the NATO alliance does not maintain a
military establishment of its own. De-
fenseleSS without the NATO (American)
forces, the island would be easily vulner-
able to understanding airborne or even
seaborne commando type forces before
effective allied aid could be mounted.
Iceland would thus incur" the council
warns, the risk of occupation and the
extinction of its freedom"
There are, of course, even broader
considerations in the councils reasoning.
Iceland is part of the North Atlantic
defense structure not only for it's own
protection, but because its strategic
location makes it important to the effec-
tive strength of the entire alliance. It
lies across the natural line of sea and air
communications between North America
and Western Europe, holding key posi-
ton in the protected movement of men
and materiel between these major seq
mentS of the defense bloc. If the island
were in enemy hands, the line would be
dangerously fianked.
1t is worthy of notice, too, that the
council acknowledges the signs of a
changing mood in Soviet RuSsia-perhapS
for the better-but cautions that 1T is
as yet too early to assess its true meaning
or to conclude that relaxation of our
common defense is warranted"
The new Icelandic government is
committed to asking American with
drawal, subject to bilateral negotiation
under the terms of our treaty. A formal
request for such negotiations already has
been made to our Government and the
talks probably will begin within a few
months The NATO Council recommen-
dationS have no binding force on either
side but one must hope, for the good Of
all parties concerned, that its carefully
expressed judgment will be given equally
careful consideration.

about as they exploit these
masses. 1t helps to focus at
tention Of Negro masses of
areas where the NAACP and
politicians are maintaining a
temporary truce, areas from
which the preponedrance of
NAACP funds flow and in
which the Negro vote is concen-
trated, away from the poor
efforts of these leaders and
politicians toward practical
local advancement of Negro
welfare. 1t helps lull the poll
ticians and white populations
of these same areas into think
ing the NAACP will not unduly
stir up local issues; which in
deed it will not until such time
its stockpile of legal victories,
and control of Negro masses
gained elsewhere, can be di-
rected against these areas, and
against these short-sighted
politicians, with devastating
effect.
Legal counteraction, framed
toward minimizing Ill effects
of the NAACP's Stockpile of
legal victories, and aimed at
improvement of interracial and
intersectional harmony, is
bound to be forthcoming. 1t
should be only a matter of time
until legislation is enacted to
prevent such glaring exploita-
ton of the emotions of Negro
masses by power-hungry lead
ers and vote-hungry politicians
who seek personal aggrandize-
ment at the expense of the
Nations overall welfare. Any
such legislation will be tested
in our courts. Let us hope that
when these tests come they
will be acted upon on all jul
dicial levels by judges as de-
void Of theological and socio-
logical influence, and as
aStute and fair minded as
Judge Bryan has proven him
self to be.

in some of its activities, to be
resorting to the same despica-
BILE violations of the dignity
and self-respect of a man and
his freedom of belief, thought
and association, as the totali-
tartan governments do. 1t
must be remembered that the
rather recent Federal laws
against conspiracy and sub
version relate primarily to adj
vocacy or beliefs, not action
as such which has long been
a crime.
Our example in unfolding
the rights of the individual,
like a picture, would do more
to strengthen our world lead
erShip than a million weasel
words of expediency or sound

member of a congressional
committee may ask a witness
a question to reveal past in
nocent associations and the
names Of persons in the asso-
citation may itself constitute
a danger to American liberties.
A citizens refusal to answer
may involve not only the loss
of his reputation but the loss
of his customary or profess
Sional means of earning a
livelihood. For such courage
he may have to pay the high
est of all prices, the loss of his
reputation. Then history may
reward him in his safeguard
ing liberty for all sincere

Atomic PoIitickinu2

There seems to be at least smidgen
of politicking in the attack on the Atomic
Energy Commissions decision to grant
construction permit for a 100,000-kilo-
watt nuclear power plant near Monroe,
Michigan. The critics, all Democrats,
make much of the point that the
projected plant-which would be built
around an advanced reactor of the fast
neutron breeder type-conceivably might
constitute hazard to public health and
safety. And so they argue that the Aces
action should be rescinded.
But what these people conveniently
ignore is the fact that the permit in
volved is a strictly conditional one. It
does not extend to the proposed plants
actual operation. Indeed, in granting it,
the Acc has heavily and repeatedly
emphasized that the follow-up license
needed to run this potentially very i'm
portant" atomic installation will not be
issued unless or until the commission is
thoroughly satisfied as to safety fac
tors. The question is one that can and
will be determined in due course. Mean
while, there is no good reason why the
SOAloCA 1UOcn S1lOulQ NC 1lelQ up,
especially since there is solid ground for
conf1dence-aS stated by the private in
dustrieS undertaking the project-that
such facility will prove to be riskless for
the public.
In any case, the people of Michigan
can be sure that the Acc will not allow
the plant to operate if it creates even the
suspicion of danger. In that respect, few
things are more rigid or sterner than the
commissions licensing standards and
rules. This is fact we'll known to the
chief critics of the Monroe project, and
hence one must wonder about the SINGER
ity of the fears they have expressed.
Everything considered, it is not COM
pletely unreasonable to suspect that they
are playing some election-year politics
with the atom

about 100 miles east of the
United States post to be set up
on the Filchner ice shelf. Dur
ing the next winter an inland
base and cache of provisions
will be established. Opera
tons will halt during the long
Antarctic night but with the
return Of daylight a British
party will pass through this
base and try to reach the pole.
It will have a much longer
journey than the other British
polar party, trekking inland
from the Ross sea area on the
other side of the continent.
The major British effort
during the year will be the
thorough exploration of the
Palmer Peninsula, sovereignty
over parts of which has been
in dispute for several years
between the United Kingdom,
Chile and Argentina. The
British. however, regard this
northward extension of the
continent as part of the Falk-
land Islands Dependency UNI
der control of the colonial
Office in London, and have
maintained a permanent sta
ton there for several years.
The claim is based on discov-
cry and exploration.
No Claims Involved
Both Chile and Argentina
also lay claim to parts Of the
peninsula on the basis of con-
tingency and history. These
nations also have carried out
major explorations among
the perpetually ice = covered
mountains. The efforts of all
three during the year, how
ever, will have nothing to do
with territorial claims. The
British also will maintain
three other stations as part
of the general program-one
at Port Stanley in the Falk-
land Islands. one on desolate
South Georgia which contains
the grave of the great English
Antarctic explorer, Sir Ernest
Shackleton, and one on the
South Orkney Islands.
France will occupy two sta
tions-one at Point Geologic
which has been maintained
with changes of personnel for
several yearS-and q smaller
one about 100 miles inland.
A year ago Comdr. Paul Victor.
noted French Arctic and Ant
arctic explorer, described plans
for a Sledge trek from Cape
Geologic to the pole. Further
details of this plan are lack
ing. however, and the project
may have been abandoned.
Norway will occupy a single
station on the Queen Maud
coast, east of the Weddell Sea.
This is an area over which the
sovereignty of Norway, one Of
whose explorers discovered the
South Pole. generally is ad-
mitted.
In addition to the stations
on the Antarctic continent it
self and on adjoining islands
Great Britain. Australia, Chile
and Argentina will maintain
observing stations fringing the
southern ocean.

Zoning Complaint

Morris CafritZ, in an inter-
view in The Star August /. put
his finger on the essential diff
ference between the purpose of
coming as originally conceived.
and as some people propose to
use it.
There is a great difference
between preventing something
that neighbors do not want"
and preventing material dam
age through projected develop
ment. An apartment house
owner. for example, should be
protected from an inconsistent
use of adjoining property-say
for a storage garage, where the
construction of such a building
would actually or potentially
reduce the value Of his apart
ment. But there is no valid
reason for coming to prevent
the use of anyone's property in
any way he chooses to use 1t,
provided he does not damage
or produce a nuisance TO his
neighbors.
When you deny property
owner, through the device Of
coming, a reasonable economic
use of his property, you are
damaging him. The actual
damage to the man who wants
to use his land may greatly
exceed whatever annoyance it
might cause to those who own
adjoining land. Often there is
no attempt to even allege dam
age to neighbors. But because
the neighbors outnumber the
single owner who wishes TO
make use of his property, his
rights are often ignored.
Recent coming actions have
gone far beyond any justifica-
ton that can be found in either
ethics or law, for coming. The
Freehill amendment in Fairfax
County is admittedly a bald
faced attempt to prevent de-
velopment. through the device
Of making 1t impossible TO sub
divide in an economic manner.
The effect Of such restrictions
cannot fail TO react not only
against owners of undeveloped
land. but ultimately 70 the
detrment Of all residents Of
the county.
