Arlington DeodIine

Federal Judge Albert " Bryan'S order
calling for desegregation of Arlington'S
schools next year was as inevitable as
death and taxes.
Here was a clear case of procraSti-
nation reaping its own reward. For Judge
Bryan'S opinion can only be read as say
ing that he would have dismissed this
suit If the Gray Commissions assignment
plan had been adopted and had been used
to assign pupils on some basis other than
race. Whether the powers that be in
Richmond, who have unwiSely committed
themselves to policy of no indignation
anywhere, will so read it remains to be
seen. A special session of the State LegiS-
lature has been called for August 81 to
consider deSegregation problems. At that
time, the Gray Commission program, with
its assignment plan and tuition features,
can be adopted If it is not adopted, if
the States political leaders adhere to
their position of unqualified opposition to
any indignation, nothing but trouble lies
ahead.
For while an appeal may delay things,
the court orders, in the end, will have to
be obeyed. The only alternative is to
close the public schools, and that is not
going to be done in communities like
Arlington.
It seems to us that Judge Bryan has
taken very sympathetic and under.
standing approach to the problem. He
pointed out that the Supreme Courts
ruling does not compel the mixing of
races in public schools, that it requires
only that no child be denied admission
to school on the basis of race or color,
and that, consequently, compliance may
well not necesSitate such extensive
changes in the school system as some
have anticipated.
In Arlington, compliance would be
relatively simple matter. There probably
would be some indignation, but the school
system is flexible enough SO that no
child need be assigned against his will
to an integrated school. In other areas,
such as SouthSide Virginia, this is not
the case. The problem there is quite
different. But this is all the more reason
for giving localities a maximum of free
dom to work out their problem in their
own way. We hope that Governor Stanley
and his hackers will see the wisdom of this
when the Legislature assemblies later this
month.

1t is pleasing to read that the film
showing the visit of President Sukarno
of Indonesia to Washington and other
points in the United States has been
big hit in his own country. MIR. Sukarno,
because of his impulSively friendly ac-
tons here and because of the equally
appealing behavior of his accompanying
young son, was most popular visitor in
Washington. On film before his own
people this atmosphere of mutual en-
joyment might easily win friends on both
sides of the East-West stage. In any
case, the IndonesianS appear to like what
they are seeing-a picture that runs
for more than two hours and has drawn
an estimated half-million applauding
viewers in its first weeks showing 1t
sounds like visual education" at its most
effective.

Mr.. Dulles in London

Coupled with the temporary licensing
controls imposed on official Egyptian
assets in this country, Mr.. Dulles flight
to London serves to emphasize the gravity
with which our Government views the
Suez crisis. Certainly, if President Eisen-
hover were not deeply disturbed by the
situation, he would not have ordered such
trip. Nor would the Secretary of State
have felt it necessary, as he obviously
does.
This is a measure of the international
emergency caused by President NaSSer'S
seizure and naturalization of the Suez
Canal The Egyptian strong man."
especially in view of the virulent anti
Western language he has used since his
high-handed action, has given France,
Britain and the United States every rea-
son to feel sense of many miSgivings
about what he is likely to do next and
about the future of the vital waterway.
So it is altogether advisable, as Mr.. Eisen-
hover has decided, that Secretary Dulles
should confer personally with his Anglo
French counterparts in London in an
effort to work out an effective common

all, it is potentially explosive problem
in terms of its possible effects on the
fragile peace now existing in that part Of
the world
Nikita Khrushchev who will soon be
playing host to Colonel Nasser in Moscow,
has volunteered the statement that the
Kremlin regards the Egyptian action as
legal and that France and Britain have
reacted to it with too much excitement"
Conceivably so, but the weight of evidence
is on the other side at the moment. Mr..
Dulles trip is therefore an event of i'm
perative timeliness, and we must all hope
that it will result in a joint program
adequate enough to safeguard the Vests
vital interests.

Dr.. John A. FIeminq

In the remarkable changes which
have come to the world in the last two
decades the researches conducted at the
Department of Terrestrial Magnetism of
the Carnegie Institution here in WASH
ington have had leading role. 1t has
been one of the leaders of the world in
the advance of physics. Here, for exam
pie, was conducted one of the first expert
mentS on the fission of the atom The
scientists there, in fact, might have an
ticipated the sensational developments
announced from Germany in the late
months Of 1889. The department was set
up to study a somewhat narrow field,
deviations Of the compass needle at var
ious places and under various circum-
stances. This was a quite important
matter half century ago. Since then it
has become, from a practical viewpoint,
quite inconsequential. But, in the words
of Carlyle, every road leads to the end
Of the world"
The department from the start has
been able to make the study of terrestrial
magnetism jumping board into fields
which have become of far greater signih-
canoe. This liberal viewpoint was due
largely to the broad-minded director, DR..
John A. Fleming, who died this week.
Under him were young men with imagi-
nation. He encouraged them He risked
his own position to help them. His con-
tribution was many-sided and substantial.

Band Wagon Rolling?

Senator Kefauver'S unexpected early
withdrawal from the Democratic preSi-
dental lists in favor of Adlai Stevenson
almost assures the latter of his second
nomination. For while the total of their
pledged delegates, 5351a according to an
Associated Press tabulation last week end,
still is short Of the $685. needed for the
nomination there is a powerful "band
wagon" implication in the Tennesseans
action. And even though the Senator
may not be able to control all of those
who were prepared to vote for him,
1t was reliably estimated that many al
ready considered Mr.. Stevenson their
second choice. In addition, many other
delegations committed to favorite sons
undoubtedly planned to stand on the
sidelines only until the first-or at least
an early-ballot established a clear
favorite for the nomination.
At this point, all other possible nomi-
nees must be considered rank outsiders
IN the betting. Only Governor Hartman
of New York has any appreciable backing
outside Of his own State, and his COM
mitted votes total only 1856, most of them
spread thinly over is States Senator
Johnson of Texas, commanding 58ia
votes, already has indicated considerable
friendlineSS for the Stevenson candidacy.
1t is understandable that principal
speculation about Mr.. Kefauver centers
now on whether he may end up as second
man on the ticket. Although repeating
earlier statements that he is not candi-

Why Did 1t Happen?

There are many questions not yet
answered about the tragic collision of the
Andrea Doria and the Stockholm off
Nantucket Island on Wednesday night.
Among them, two appear to be foremost.
The first is why neither of the radar-
equipped ships either saw" the other on
their radar screens or, if they did, re-
Sponded properly to the warning signs.
An Italian Line spokesman has said that
the Doria'S captain was tracking the
Stockholm on radar, but there has been
no suggestion that either ship made any
laSt-minute sharp change of course to
indicate even an awareneSS of what was
about to happen. The second is why the
Andrea Doria, modern compartmentized
ship, should have taken water so rapidly
as to list dangerously in a few minutes,
and in matter of hours go to the bottom.
1t is important that these questions,
as well as many perhaps lesser ones,
should be answered as soon as possible.
And it is to be hoped that juriSdictional
uncertainties, arising out of location of
the crash outside American territorial
waters and of international factors in
volved, will not interfere with an in
formative inquiry. At this point, while
speculation on the radar question has
varied in details about range and possible
effects of weather conditions, the prepon-
derant comment is that the devices must
have been working effectively and that
the answer may lie in human failure.
There has even been a suggestion that
one or both of the ships may have been
"bluffing' in maintaining right of way.
AS for construction, there is no certainty
that completely unsuitable ship ever
could be INDEPENDENTLY when allow
ance must be made for a workable design
in terms of cargo space, cabins and ships
machinery.
While the relatively small loss of life
still adds up to a poignant human tragedy,
there is consolation in the fact that men
and modern facilities for communication
and rescue work combined to keep this
toll at a minimum. This will be another
might to remember" for many, but per-
haps some new and useful lessons will
be learned.

WSTAS IN SCIENCE
Progress Report on Cancer Treatment
By THOMAS R. HENRY

Some noteworthy advances
in treatment of cancer by
radioactive isotopes during the
past few months have just
been reported by the medical
branch of the Atomic Energy
Commission.
For the first time it has been
found possible to use an iso-
tope Of the potassium-like
metal cesium by sewing
through a tumor mass with a
fine hollow thread, which
serves as a tube with ex-
tremely thin walls, through
which the radioactive material
flows.
In another advance, pellets
made Of a radioactive isotope
of the rare earth yttrium have
been surgically implanted to
destroy the pituitary gland in
animals and humans suffering
from cancers that have been
transported from their original
sites to other parts of the body.
Thus supply of the pituitary
growth hormone to the cancer
is stopped and other hormones
from this gland at the base of
the brain, necessary for life,
can be supplied by injection.
Looks to Future
Some of the major research
at atomic energy establish
mentS looks to the future
rather than to any immediate
medical use. Thus by tagging
various substances with radio
active isotopes it is possible to
determine those which are
taken up more rapidly by can
Ger cells than by normal body
cells.
Nature of the capacity to
resist leukemia, supposedly
now always eventually fatal in
man, is being studied in mice.
1t has been observed that
some protection against this
malady is given by blood cells
in the liver, lungs and bone
marrow. How this protection
functions is unknown, but
presumably it follows the same
laws in both mice and men.
A major effort at the Brook
haven laboratory on Long Is
land has been in the field of
so-called radiation kinetics"
means of getting certain
kinds of radioactive isotopes to
a specific part of the body.
Isotopes placed in the blood
stream are distributed in a
few minutes to the whole body.
Then they leave the blood
stream ana become distributed
through tissues at speeds
which vary for different It's
sues. This is known as the
primary distribution. Then

For Happier Holidays

Let me suggest this for holi-
day accidents:
Let it be mandatory that
every driver involved in a holi-
day accident, whether guilty
or innocent, purchase a pair
of overallS, and wear them to
work for an appropriate num-
Der of holidays. to clean the
blood from the floors of the
city'S hospitals, in the adj
hitting Offices and the blood
banks.
Let the donation of one
pint of blood accompany
every car purchase or trade,
and the granting of every driv-
ing permit, and after the
driver has passed a yearly driv-
er's examination. The blood
type stamped on his permit
might save a life in an emer-
gency.
Let anyone found guilty of
causing an accident while
driving drunk have his driv-
ing permit revoked perma-
nently.
AS a matter of fact, I think
that the penalty of working
on holidays should be meted
to every person who, selfishly
or carelessly, ruins a holiday
for those who deserve to en-
joy it, and increases the burden
on those who have to clean up
the mess he makes.

comes the secondary distribute
ton. in which the isotopes
leave the tissues where they
first were accumulated and
tend to become evenly distrib-
uted through all body struc-
lures. This usually requires
a few hours.
In the primary distribution
the isotopes tend to become
concentrated in tissues for
which they have a special af-
f1nity-as the thyroid. for ex-
ample. has special affinity
for radioactive iodine. If the
experimenters use a radioac-
tive isotope which will decay
to a harmless stable element
before the secondary distribu-
ton gets under way, the ra-
diation will be confined chiefly
to the tissues for which the
isotope has an affinity. If there
is lung cancer and some iso-
tope can be found with an
especial affinity for lung tissue,
then the radiation can be con-
fined to lung tissue where it is
needed.
Humans Being Tested
The blood stream is the most
effective way to reach most
internal cancers. The danger
comes from the injury to blood
cells and d-forming tissues
while the radioactive isotope is
on its way to its intended des-
tination. Unfortunately, the
blood is extremely sensitive.
Early tests with human pa
tientS now are under way.
There has been some success.
I'm the problem of attack
ing cancers of the liver" says
the Acc report. whether the
cancers arise within the liver
or are transported there from
other body regions. it now is
possible to control favorably
the distribution of manganese
Sc, a radioactive isotope hav-
ing a half life of 2 hours and
SO minutes. In one compound
Of manganese, and with one
route of administration used,
the accumulation, in the liver
will be only 10 per cent of the
injected dose in Is minutes.
Another compound of manga
nese and another route of in
lection will, within is minutes,
localize 80 per cent of the in
lected dose in the liver region
Or about five minutes"
The distribution problem is
of particular significance in
treatment of brain tumorS
where it is necessary to con-
centrate boron in the tumor
itself, leaving the rest of the
brain relatively free. Several
new boron compounds have
been formed which show con-
siderable promise.

Air and Sea Croshes

A few weeks ago a couple
Of airplane pilots with all out
doors around them. managed
to pull off the we'll nigh impos-
sible feat of crashing into each
other, thereby causing a ter
rible tragedy.
A few days ago a couple of
ships with thousands of square
miles of ocean available,
managed a similar thing.
In the first instance the air.
line lobby pulled out all the
stops - nonSequiturs, faulty
syllogisms, tearjerking half
truths calculated to scare heck
out of anybody using National
Airport-all in an effort to
prove that the air tragedy was
caused because there wasn't a
second airport at Burke.
Exactly how building more
airports will prevent tragedies
resulting from human error is
never adequately explained.
1t will be interesting to note
whether, now, the shipping
people will follow the same
logic to distract public atten-
ton from the basic cause of
the sea accident. and will try
to stage a raid on the Treasury
by getting the taxpayers to
build another port along the
Atlantic Seacoast somewhere.

A Man Who

The time for the selection

tically no presidential timber

nation such as ours should be
headed by a man Of character,
not a mere politician. ! write
to nominate such a man.

nominee when, as a freshman,
l entered the University of

he did not say at his press conference
yesterday that he would not take it if
offered to him. Furthermore, his with
drawal on plea for unity within the
party may go far to erase the bitterness
which developed between the Stevenson

Florida and California primary cam.
paigns. The Tennessee Senator has
proved himself strong vote-getter

may yet bring him second place on the

To say, /as school integra-
tionists have been doing, that
people are prejudiced because
they object to amalgamation
of the races (Which surely will
be the final outcome of school
integrationD, is virtually the
same as saying that gray
foxes, redhead ducks, large
mouth bass. honey bees, tim
Der rattlesnakes, sugar maple
trees and red clover are pref
udiced because they avoid
matchmaking, respectively in
the preceding order with red
foxes, canvasback ducks, small
mouth bass. bumblebees, mas
sagUa rattlesnakes. silver maple
trees and white clover.
1t is natural for any species
Of a family to avoid amalga-
nation with other species of
the same family-although
such amalgamation, in some
cases. can be brought about by
forced association, or by some
other unnatural means. And 1t
would be difficult to convince
the writer that white, yellow
and black peoples are one and
the same species. What he OBJ
serves with his own eyes tells
him that, at least physically,
there is considerable difference
between these peoples.
Another contention of In
tegrationists is that. If we do
not adopt indignation, we will
not be well thought of by other
peoples Of the world. and that,
a. a consequence, we will lose
in our struggle for existence
This, Of course. is utterly alb
surd, and for the simple rea-
son that what other people
think Of US has nothing to do
with our existence. II Il did,
we long since would have been
thought out Of existence. In

world are concerned. our ex-
