Go West-Or South

Undoubtedly those who make the
"beSt laid plans" in political life are
watching closely the population shifts in
the United States today. If so, California
and Florida must be looming constantly
larger in the calculations of how to cap
ture an increasing number Of seats in
the House Of Representatives and, of even
greater Importance, bigger bloc Of votes
in the electoral college. For projections
OF current population trends indicate that
these two-blesSed with abundant sun
shine and generally mild climates-will
make sizeable gains on the basis of the
1860 Census. The new House apportion-
ments will be applicable to the 1862 con-
gresSional elections and will determine
the electoral vote distribution in the
presidential election of 1864 California,
for example, seems certain of gaining six
or seven seats beyond its present 30--an
increase that would break its present tie
with Pennsylvania and leave it second
only to New York. Florida appears sure
Of picking up another two or three, while
Texas and Michigan likewise are expected
to gain.
In California and Florida, coinciden-
tally, there are changes other than those
Of mere numbers. The big West Coast
State, for example, has become increas-
ingly industrialized in recent years and
the Democratic Party-ordinarily strong
with labor-is in the process Of re-
building its organization there for a
more effective Statewide bid Florida
has gained, too, in both industry and
farming, but perhaps the most signif-
icant shift in political strength in that
State has come from the increasing pop
ulation Of older and more conservative
retired people. 1t is too early yet TO
tell how the votes are going to fan, but
1t is a good bet that party leaders are
doing more than dreaming about the
possibilities.

Outstanding Record

1t Is noteworthy that criminal and
other cases in the District are being
prosecuted with outstanding effective
ness. That such is the case is evident
from the unusual letter Of commentator
which Attorney General Brownell recently
wrote to United States Attorney Oliver
Gasch The commentator applied also
to Mr.. Gasch's predecessor, Leo A. Rover,
who now is chief judge of the Municipal
Court of Appeals.
Mr.. Brownel was prompted to write
the three-page letter by receipt of the
annual report Of the United States
Attorney for the past fiscal year. The
Department of Justice head noted that
the prosecutors office in Washington has
a wider field Of responsibility than that
Of any other judicial district Here the
United States Attorney must prosecute
not only Federal cases Of the sort handled
In other districts but, in addition, has the
duty Of prosecuting many purely local
cases Of the type that State and city
prosecutors handle in other Jurisdictions
The Attorney General mentioned
particularly the excellent record" OF the
District Office IN closing l.483 criminal
and 826 civil cases during the fiscal year
An increase OF more than II per cent
over the previous IL months: in reducing
the backlog Of Federal cases pending by
nearly Is per cent. IN securing convictions
in about 80 per cent Of narcotics cases as
well as in high percentage Of other
criminal cases, in recovering for the Gov
eminent large sums Of money due It in
civil cases and in otherwise contributing
10 the cause Of efiicient law enforcement.
All Of this was done, OF course, In CO.

Ground Rules for Military

The Department of Defense has taken
ahtimely and sensible step in it's latest
order clarifying and interpreting the roles
and missions Of the various branches Of
the armed forces. It has not been sur
pr1S1ng IN the past few years that the
development, or prospect, of fantastic
new weapons and the changing concepts
OF warmaking should have prompted in
ter-Service rivalrieS, duplication of effort
and genuine difference of opinion among
professional military men and their tech
nical advisers. Up to point, these bas-
ically competitive efforts do not threaten
the effectiveness of the military branch.
Indeed, they may contribute to its vitality
and strength. There is a further point,
however, at which the fundamental con-
Sideration Of the strongest possible mill
tary establishment may be jeopardized
by conflicting viewpoints and overlapping
efforts. In effect, Secretary Wilson said
In his order, that is the situation now"
and the time had arrived for mandatory
decisions on the ground rules for the i'm
mediate future.
For the most part, the new order
redefines the functions of the Army and
the Air Force-between which there has
been increasing rivalry in the past two
years and leaves substantially I'M
changed the role and Jurisdiction of the
Navy. In brief, the Air Force is given
exclusive operational control over inter-
mediate and long-range missiles fired
from the ground-a field in which the
Army has been working at weapons
ho A ~, so
assigned full responsibility for Develop
ment and operation of close-in air de-
tense missiles-including its own Nike
and the Air Force-favored Talos. The
Army also is to continue It's develop
ment Of surface-to-Surface missiles with
ranges up to approximately 200 miles
q type suitable to tactical battlefield use.
Further expansion of the Army'S aviation
arm-one Of the most controversial is
sues between the two Services-is Specif-
ically restricted. Jurisdiction Of the Air
Force was reafhrmed for such functions
as strategic and tactical airlift, tactical
reconnaissance and close combat air
support.
1t is probable that the differences of
opinion which prompted this order are
not quite so easily eliminated. 1t is likely
that some will appear openly when Con-
gresS returns and begins its conSidera-
ton Of the 1858 military budget. 1t was
pointed out, however, that President
Eisenhower had been made familiar"
with the order in advance and that, as
commander in chief and a professional
military man, he expressed no disap-
proval Of the revised definitions. There
was an implied assurance, also, of fiex-
Utility and review if and when needed,
particularly in Secretary Wilson'S state
ment that lit should be clearly under
stood that the approval of roles and mis-
sions Of the armed services for guidance
in peacetime does not predetermine the
weapons or forces which commander in
the field would be permitted to use in
the event of war"

Fudge was the great favorito.
It was 80 because Of its uni
versal liking by the teenagers,
as they didn't call themselves
then.
You were Just boys and girls
in the old days, and We think
all the better for it.
This idea Of setting one age
group against another, in bold
relief, is strictly new. There
were always the battles of the
different age groups, but they
were kept underground, as it
were. Now the battle is every
where, and We oldsters have to
suffer.
Fudge making took on some
Of the aspects of a country fair.
There was a running down
to the corner grocery for the
sugar. and a last minute search
for what was left Of the choco-
late.
Then came the bubbling and
the boiling and the testing and
the tasting.
The supreme moment came
when the candy mixture was
dripped of q spoon into cold
water.
1t was something about
whether it made a ball, or not.
If it did. all was well for the
final slide onto the creased
plate.
If it did not ball. then the
cooking had to commence
again.
Usually, in such cases. the
fudge was never as good as it
was when the cook had Just
the right touch.
Even then, fudge was I'M
practicable. Sometimes 1t was
too sweet, other times It was
too chocolaty. Now and then
it would have a peculiar burnt
taste. and maybe 1t was.
Some consumers preferred
the edge pieces. others the
softer ones from the center Of
the plate.
Some connoisseurs liked their
squares glazed on the surface,
others professed 10 like duller
surfaced squares best, but most
Of US thought these we're the
same people who liked the
dark meat Of turkey rather
than the light.
All in all, fudge making was
part Of the picture. "A made
up story, nonsense, often used
as an exclamation Of con-
tempt" is the original defini-
ton Of the word fudge. The

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
New Experiment on Toll of Radiation
BY THOMAS R. HENRY

has issued this statement:
I'VE presume that DR.. Koer-
Der somehow got q dose Of
atomic radiation that now, 10
years later, caused his death.
We have conclusively proved
that he was subject to atomic
radiation or to the inhalation
or the eating Of atomic COM
ponents. His bones contain
1000 times the maximum safe
concentration Of radiation"
In the face Of this q spokes-
man for the Atomic Energy
Commission. quoted in the Of
fetal journal Of the American
Association for the Advance
ment TO Science, says: I'VE
have nothing showing that he
ever got q dose Of radiation.
He did not work with radio
active materials and was not
exposed to them in the course
Of his work"
Periodically DR.. Koerber's
major duty was inspection Of
laboratories to protect workers
against radiation.
The radiation which caused
his death, DR.. Spelman says,
probably was due to q cumu-
lative exposure.
Another unsupported danger
pointed out in the association
journal:

Justice for All

It is very heartening to see
that once again our foreign
policy is being regarded in the
Middle East as one which is
consistent with our principles
of independence, democracy
and justice.
The government-controlled
Egyptian newspapers have re-
Gently praised United States
policy in their editorials. And
President Eisenhower has been
cited by Prime Minister Nehru
in a session of the Indian
Parliament for being an in
strumental man in maintain
ing world peace.
This is no small victory for
us. because our prestige has
been steadily falling in these
crucial areas for long time.
And it is a major victory for.
President Eisenhower, who has
once again shown his prin-
cipled love for justice. For he
must have realized that to the
Middle Eastern mind sover-
eighty is more important than
oil, human dignity and respect
more important than economic
ties with the West, and that
justice is paramount to every
thing else.
A foreign policy based on
justice Is the only one which
the United States can safely
and rightfully follow. If we
choose any other we would be
hard put 10 have any re-
spect for ourselves or expect
others to have any for US. Yet,
in the past we have had pol
icies that were only half good.
That Is. they we're consistent
IN maintaining good relations
with some countries, but we're
inconsistent when it came TO
justice. It is easy to see that
these "bulwarks Of democ-
racy" we're selfish and lacking
IN love for humanity, and
therefore destined for a short
life.
BY maintaining q strong
foreign policy based on justice
we can be sure Of many things.
First. we will be doing the
right thing in the eyes Of
God; second. any nations who
are with US (either in fact or
in spirit in this cause Of JUS
tice can be counted on as true
friends: third. any nations
who are against US in this are
either spineless. selishly mo-
tivated. or evil lin which case
they should not be trusted.
God has blessed us with ma
terial comfort and power. We
nov have the opportunity not
only 70 follow but 70 lead 9TH
ers in the cause Of justice. And
finally we have seen ht 70 ex-
ercise these means. Let as
continue 10 use these things
wisely.

Why Live in the Past?

You might say that A. L.
Harrison's letter New Repub-
licanism" in your November
20 issue was the proverbial
straw that broke the camel'S
back.
The part that did it was his
reference to the depression
years. Now I'll admit I'm only
% years old and don't remem-
Der the great depression" but
I've long grown tired of lis
tening to the colder genera
ton" cry over the troubles
they had then.
The mere fact that I am %
years old and don't remember
the depression means it's time
to quit digging up the ancient
past and start looking forward.
History should teach us not to
repeat past mistakes (Which
lesson we apparently aren't
learning in regard to foreign
affairs, but should not be
brought up to get sympathetic
readers to cry with you over
a trying period in your life.
Most certainly we are I'M
dergoing a trying period today,
though of a different nature;
and although the Eisenhower
administration can take some
of the credit for the sad state
Of affairs In the Middle East,
1t ought to be obvious to any
one who studies or follows
world events that anything as
far-reaching and with roots as
far back as the present Middle
East situation can also be
tackled onto the list Of mistakes
of both Roosevelt'S and Tru-
mans administrations.
1t may be that the years Of
Republican administrations Gall
8 years. prior to the depres-
sion helped lead up to that
awful economic calamity. but
let's not forget Congress. There
were Democrats as we'll as Re-
publicans in that august body
and they knew as well as
anyone what was going on.
What should be interesting to
note here is that while Hoover
is blamed for the depression,
he had only been in Office some
10 months when it came. Since
an economic crisis of that mag
nitude is long in building, I
fail to see where Hoover can
take 100 per cent Of the blame.
Nor can I see where the
Democrats were so blameless
during that critical period in
our nations history. Credit is
given to Roosevelt for creating
reforms leading our nation out
Of the economic chaos. The
catch here is that Roosevelt
only did what Hoover tried to
do, but couldn't, because Of
Democratic controlled Congress
which stopped Hoover at every
turn. 1t seems the party Of
the little man" didn't mind
seeing the people of this coun-
try suffer a couple of more
years until a man Of their
party was elected President.
In truth, the Democrats played
politics while millions suffered
until a Democratic administra-
ton was elected so they could
take the credit for the self
same economic cure-alls that
Hoover tried to create but
couldn't Don't take my word
for this-it's all in the Con-
gressional Record for the pc
riod.

quent for characters inherited
from fathers as for those
passed on to their progeny by
mothers.
This has been demonstrated
with fruit flies, according to
a report just published by the
American Association for the
Advancement Of Science. Ad-
mittedly these insects, the or
ganismS most frequently used
in genetic experiments, do not
accurately reflect conditions
in man or any of the higher
mammals. 1t recently has been
shown, for example. that mice
suffer 10-fold more muta-
tons from radiation exposure
than the short-lived flies.
But, says the report pub
hshed in the associations Jour-
nal, Science, there are indica-
tons that the sex ratio of
damage is about the same for
human beings.
Every human being, regard
less of sex, inherits characters
from both parents. 1t has been
amply demonstrated that at
least 80 per cent of mutations
in their hereditary characters
are for the worse and event.
ually bring about elimination
Of the ancestral lines in which
they take place.
The implications Of q pre-
ponderance of such mutations
in characters inherited from
fathers, it is pointed out, can
not be determined at present.
They would, of course, appear
in both sons and daughters.
Problems Complicated
The problem is complicated
by the fact that some bad
hereditary characters are sex
linked--for example, the gene
believed to be responsible for
muscular dyStropfy. This is
carried on by the male line,
and may have been due to
some radiation accident in
the past.

Some of the lurking, mys-
ferrous dangers of atomic ra-

roost.
There is, for example, the
death of DR.. Kenneth A.
Koerber, Philadelphia ply
stefan. who worked in the
Atomic Energy Commissions
Brookhaven laboratory be-
tween 1946 and 1913.
When he died last July an

the cause of death. A second
autopsy was ordered. AS a
result Of this, DR.. Joseph w.
