Lady Baden-Powell yester-
day stood outside in the bright
sunshine until the meeting as
sembled and then strobe in.

Of Mr.. Chips, she is the world
chief of the Girl Guides. which

AS enc of the Chevy Chase
Woman's Club members said
after the meeting, "she really
makes you feel that's there's
a lot more to be said for the
good outdoor life"
But Lady Baden-Powell
quickly put aside the camping,
scouting aspects of the Girl
Guides Girl Scouts in the
United States) to talk of the
spiritual aspect of the move
ment.
Hero's Widow
The widow of Lord Baden
Powell, hero of Mafeking and
founder of the Boy Scouts, and
Girl Guides discarded her orig
inal idea of standing on a
chair to be seen, swung the
microphone up to the stage
and hurried up the steps.
The fascinating and beloved
Britisher then set about telling
her story of tremendous ro-
nance" She told of her hus-
band, who after having spent
half of his life as a soldier
then spent the other half try
ing to prevent the cruelties of
war" And she spoke too Of the
fact that an idea in one mans
mind can become a living
force for good.
Lady Baden-POWell said that
though we look at the Girl
Guides, Scouts and Boy Scouts
as established organizations
now, 1t is we'll to look back to

Phone Co-ops Being Squeezed
Out On Federal REA Loans

WASHINGTON, D. c. (NFU) =
Farmer-owned telephone co-ops have
been given less and less support from
the Rural Electrification Administra-
tiOn in recent years.
In the first fiscal year of the Eisen-
hover Administration, phone co-ops
got twice as much in REA loans as
private telephone companies. By the
end of the last fiscal year, the totals
were reversed. Moreover there were
four times as many new private tele-
phone company borrowers as new CO.
op borrowers.
The figures below show how the
Administration has been giving in
creasing attention to private phone
companies over the rural co-ops:

FALLOUT FROM H-BoMB
On March l, 1854, the Acc exploded
an H-Bomb of a type known to be a
heavy producer of strontium-90. So

Acc later appointed DR.. Libby to in

An Acc official, Merrill Eisenbud,
revealed in a speech there had been a
steep rise in the radioactive content of
metropolitan New York's milk supply
in early September, according to the
NEW YORK TIMES (Nov. 16).
A group of % scientists at the Wor-
cester (Mass.) Foundation for Expert
mental Biology warned that, after an
explosion, strontium-90 one of
the most deadly of all isotopes, is
washed out of the atmos-
phere by rain and incorporated into
grass and vegetables. Even if the fall
out is thinly spread over fields thou
sands of miles from the explosion, they
pointed out that cattle grazing over
wide areas can concentrate the radio
isotopes' and transmit them in milk
or meat. THE effects are cumulative"

In REA's identification program,
an overwhelming preponderance of
REA's loans went to co-operatives.
These user-owned systems, which fur
nish service at cost, were a yard
stick" which forced the private cleo
trio companies to cut their rates and
to improve their terms of service to
all farmers.
The private telephone lobby fought
hard against passage of the Rural
Telephone Act because it wanted to
prevent an equally effective competi-
tive "yardstick" in the telephone in

Deadly Strontium-90
From FACTS FOR FARMERS
80 Courtland ST., N. Y. City

Though Stevenson lost the presi
dency, he may yet win the campaign
to stop H-Bomb tests. His disclosures
that the fallout of strontium-90 is al.
ready communicating farm lands and
poisoning foodstuffs, particularly milk,
has stirred widespread concern. While
the Administration tried to brush off
the charges as campaign propaganda
and had Lewis Strauss, Atomic Energy
Commission chairman label them "un-
true, leading scientists warn that the
danger is real.
Strauss denied that the Administra-
tion is keeping facts from the Amer
lean people" OF the Aces report on
strontium-90 in midwest milk and how
it could be removed. which Dr. Willard
F. Libby, then a professor at the Uni
versity of Chicago, made in 1854,
Strauss said, Far from being kept
from the American people, the study
has been publicly available since 1855
in 40 depository libraries. Not very
convincing reply.
Strauss did not explain why-on
Sept. 26, just six days after Stevenson
first urged a ban on H-Bomb tests
the Acc ordered state health officials
to halt all tests within "a hours on
nuclear fallout. Earlier the Acc had
said that when a fallout exceeded ten
times normal, careful monitoring
was urgent. Between Sept. and the
cutoff date of Sept. 27, the fallout had,
as a result of the Eniwetok tests,
reached as high as Is to 25 times
normal. DR.. Gordon Dunning of the
Aces division of biology admitted the
increase but denied that the stoppage
was political.

He explained this comparison
mot in economic terms" but as
descriptive of the historic ethnic
divisiveness within the Jewish
community that now flourishes in
South America as it did some de.
cades ago in the United States"
"By that, I mean that Sephardic
and Ashkenazic Jews, the Ger
man-speaking element, Hunga-
rian Jews and the others who
came from abroad cling to their
individual identity and mores." :"
In practice, Mr.. Klutznick added,
this produces visible cultural dis
tinctions that are often reflected
in separate synagogues, separate
meeting-halls and the like.
However. they don't try TO re-
solve their internal differences by
imposing the will of one group on
another. In South America they
accept these distinctions as valid
then e arch out the common
ground on which they can act
comparatively. In this way they
have achieved self-sufficiencY as

How self-sufficient? Mr.. Klutz-
