Stepping Up the Campaign

White House Press Secretary Hagerty
announced last May that President Eisen-
hover had ga lot of plans for the cam
paign." The President himself now has
unveiled some of these plans in announc-
ing four addresses this month. The first
will be next Wednesday at his Gettysburg
farm, when he is expected to deliver
something in the nature of campaign
keynote" speech to nearly 500 Republican
leaders from all over the country. A
week later, on September 10, he will make
a nationally televiSed Studio address"
from Washington. On September 81, Mr..
Eisenhower will carry his campaign to
the Farm Belt in a personal appearance
and address before the National Flowing
Match at Newton, Iowa. And about a
week later he will make major address
probably in the farm area also-dealing
with the agricultural community and
economy"
In his own discussion of this schedule,
the President described only the last
speech as a major" one. But the others
undoubtedly will have as much political
significance as he can inject into them.
Nor is it surprising that two of the four
addresses will be directed primarily at
farm audiences. The Democrats have
staked much Of their hopes for victory
in November on the relatively depressed
state of the farm economy, and they will
spare no effort to swing the farm States
to their ticket. In 1852, both Mr.. Eisen-
hover and Adlai Stevenson made major
farm speeches at the national blowing
contest at KaSson, Minnesota, and the
Democratic candidate will follow the
President by day at this years event
in Newton. The fact that Mr.. Eisenhower
is expected to return to the farm area for
his final September speech also will pro-
vide opportunity for back platform"
appearances and some of the brief, in
formal remarks that often are politically
effective.
1t is virtually certain that Mr.. Eisen-
howers "lot of plans" will include fur
ther travel and a considerable number
of additional speeches before November 8.
Speculation has centered particularly on
the probability Of a trip to the West
Coast where important Senate races are
under way in Washington, Oregon and
California. Thus, there is ample assur-
ance from each side of the political front
that the principals in this years cam
paign are not going to leave unturned
any stone under which prospective vote
might be hiding.

Nonportison Justice

The American Bar Association has
made timely and praiseworthy plea that
Federal judges be selected without regard
to political affiliation. 1t is timely be-
cause this is campaign year, during
which political favors are sought and
implicit promises Of rewards held out to
the faithful of both parties. But, as the
ABA said in its recent meeting in Dallas.
judgeships should not be looked upon as
political plums to be handed out to those
who best serve their party Yet this
method Of selection is an old custom
iRaulged in by both partieSH

aware Of the economic factor.
AS the South becomes more
and more industrialized there
Is a demand for skilled labor.
Cheap labor becomes less in
demand. Increased educa-
tional standards are inevitable
and equalization of two sys-
tens becomes increasingly inn
possible. In due time integra-
ton will become inevitable.
The advocates of immediate
integration overlook the human
factors involved. There must
be q climate of good will and
a willingness for both parties
to work out the problem. The
public itself will have to be
educated before desegregation
will become a reality. This is
particularly true of small towns
and rural areas.
Moderation is neither evasion
nor delay. It is careful plan
ming. exercising wisely the vote,
cooperation between State and
local officials. a rejection Of
the methods of the extremists
and determination to uphold
the laws of the land. In the
long run it will be this ap-
proach to the problem which
will decide the outcome of an
age-old controversy.

Reopproisinq Foreign Aid

President Eisenhower has made an
excellent appointment in naming Benja-
min F. Fairless as chairman of the special
citizens committee on the Mutual Secu-
rity Program. The committee will have
the important responsibility Of carrying
out basic review Of all aspects of our
foreign aid-military and economic-and
Mr.. Fairless, former head Of the United
States Steel Corporation, is admirably
qualified to direct its labors.
The desirability of such review
became evident in the last session of
Congress, which made sharp cuts in the
funds sought by the administration for
mutual security. The cutS-which the
President and all his top military and
diplomatic advisers deplored as gamble
that could seriously weaken the defenSeS
of the allied world-were advocated by
the economizerS on the ground that the
international picture was in process of
change and that the nature and scale of
our foreign aid needed to be revised
accordingly. So both the Senate and
House voted to take the gamble, but at
the same time established their own sep
arate committees to study the situation
and report back before next years pro-
gram is presented for legislative action.
Mr.. FairleSs' group-to be known
formally as the Presidents Citizen ADJ
visers on the Mutual Security Program
will cover essentially the same ground as
that laid out for the congressional studies.
However, although it presumably will
maintain some sort of liaiSon with the
Senate and House committees, 1t will
conduct its review of foreign aid in its own
way, primarily as an independent and
nonpolitical body of distinguished laymen.
AS such, operating as effectively as pos
sible, it promises to make valuable con-
tribution to the overall executive-legiS-
lative reappraisal of what the United
States should or should not do in adjust
ing its military and economic assistance
to the changing international scene,
including shifts In Soviet policy and the
seeming abatement of the cold war
An exhaustive review of this kind
should serve to clear the air of many
overSimplificationS and misconceptions
about foreign aid, and it may well prove
that certain important adjustments
though not necessarily any great reduc-
lions in cash outlayS-would be wise in
executing the program in the future.
What must be hoped for, above all, is that
it will result in sufficient unanimity
of views to discourage the sort Of indis-
criminate Slashing that Congress resorted
to this year.

For many years Templeton
Jones has sung the praise Of
suntan, both as a cosmetic and
medicine, especially for the
aging.
We asked him the other day
what were some Of the draw

there is so much tan, there
must be some fire.

But what about the home

The mental picture Of Jones

VLSTAS IN SCIENCE
Hormones Bring Out the Best in Rats
BY THOMAS z. HENRY

Chemicals injected into nil
mute and specific areas of the
brain cause male rats to act
instinctively like females, with
all the female drive to care for
young and homemaking.
This has been reported to
the American Association for
the Advancement of Science
here by DR.. Alan E. Fisher.
psychologist of the University
of Wisconsin.
The experiments were de-
signed to demonstrate whether
there are primary drive CEN
tiers" in the brain responsible
for so-called instructive be-
havior. Presumably they
would be the same in rats and
men.
The maternal behavior was
caused by injection into the
brain of sodium testosterone
sulfate, a preparation Of one of
the male hormones.
Reports DR.. Fisher: MA
ternal behavior elected during
the chemical stimulation in
cludes nest building and per-
sistent retrieving and groom
ing Of filters of young. ALI
aspects of mating behavior
have been induced or accent
uated.
Individual animals respond
positively up to four test days
but duplication of effect from
animal to animal has imposed
difficult problems. Out Of 1870
males, five have shown COM
plete maternal behavior. IA
have shown nesting behavior
only, and six have shown ex-
aggerated sexual responses"
All in the Head
The maternal behavior, DR..
Fisher found, seems to be
localized in a small part Of the
optic lobe of the brain, since it
is not caused by injections
anywhere else. Stimulation of
nearby areas ELECTS different
responses, such as changes in
breathing. hyperactivity which
apparently has no particular
objective, long-lasting explora-
tory-hke activity, digging,
leaping and convulsive seizures.
Any activity caused by the
chemical stimulation usually
continues in full force, DIR.
Fisher reports, for at least 80
minutes. Some one part of
the maternal behavior may
occur alone. Excessive nest
building, for example, often is
seen and sometimes continues
for more than an hour. Some
times stimulated males display
only diffuse, meaningless ac-
tivity until a litter Of baby
rats is placed near them.
They at once start nest build
ing and grooming and neglect
everything which before
seemed to interest them.
The male hormone prepare
ton is given in extremely
minute amounts. The effects
are noted not only in actual
Behavior but in variations in
brain waves" from the area
stimulated which indicate that
a profound change Of some
sort has taken place,
When similarly minute
amounts of a female hormone
preparation were injected into
a nearby area in the female
brain there resulted q highly
exaggerated sexual behavior.

Law and Disorder

I attended the baseball
game between the Washing
ton Senators and the New
York Yankees on the memo
rable night that President
Eisenhower was among the
fans who saw Jim Lemon be-
come the first Washington
player to hit three homers in
Griffith Stadium. However,
the wholesome entertainment
was disastrously marred by
what followed in the streets
around the ball park.
AS I was leaving the ball
park and walking to my car,
! witnessed a street brawl.
Several white persons were
knocked off the sidewalk and
one man received a head in
jury. Many persons were call
ing for the police. Finally a
policeman came and broke up
the fight. but apparently no
arrests were made. One po-
liceman could not possibly
handle the disturbance.
After the sidewalk was
cleared. I proceeded up Flor
ida avenue toward my parked
car. I was alone. and five or
six Negroes in their early
twentieS attacked me by form
ing a circle around me and at
tempting to shove or push me
from one to the other. / es-
capped through the circle and
picked up a movable mo
Parking-Entrance" traffic
sign and warded of the at
tackerS. They left, uttering
foul and obscene language. I
looked around for a policeman
but none was in sight.
I proceeded to my car and
then found a police squad car
and reported what had oc-
Cured. The police officer adj
vised me that he had had 10
or IL similar complaints since
the end Of the game. He VOL
unteered that the police could
not protect everyone since
there were not enough police
to cope with the problem.
As a lawyer and one who
has practiced law many years
in the District of Columbia, I
believe in law and order. l
do not believe citizens should
take the law, in their own
hands. On the other hand, the
streets must be made safe
for the citizens. This is not
just a police problem. It is a
problem for all law enforce
ment agencies. including the
courts. In addition, citizens
must support the Police De-
partment to see that it re-
ceives sufficient funds to pro-
cure the necessary police per-
sonnet to give the public pro-
lection.
1t is unfortunate that some
OF our self-styled second
class" citizens are intent on
abusing their newly granted
privileges. because society as
a whole must bear the burden
and expense of their abuse.

Food for India

The recent negotiations be-
tween India and the United
States have. resulted in the
$360-million food loan agree
ment which marks another
very significant step to bring
the two countries nearer to
each other. something which
both the parties have been
trying to accomplish. This
friendly gesture on the part of
the United States will help
India enormously as there is
a constant threat of food
shortage and some reserves
will certainly be helpful.
The offer Of such commodi-
ties is a very wise step taken
by the United States at this
time especially when such sur
plus food is required for the
people affected by the recent
earthquake in Anjar. 1t would
also help India to keep steady
the market value Of her food
grains, which take alarming
fluctuations at certain times.
This help is mainly designed
as a spur to midas economic
development plans. For the
United States this agreement
offers an outlet for good
amounts Of heavy farm sur
pluses.
Let US hope that this friendly
approach to matters of mutual
interest continues and both the
governments may have a bet
ter understanding of interna-
tional cooperation.

Stimulation of the same
areas with electricity failed to
bring out any exaggerated re-
sponses.
The results of the expert
rnentS indicates strongly that

Without this layer of three

started by the Armour Re-

noiS Institute Of Technology
at the Air Forces School Of
Aviation Medicine at RAN
dolph Field, Tex. Six in
veStigators, headed by DR..
Hans-Georg Clamann, phys
iologist at the school, will ex-
pose themselves to controlled
concentrations Of the gas in a
closed chamber. Hitherto only
animals have been risked in
such experiments.
DR.. Clamann and his asso-
ciates will expose themselves
to from one to ten parts Of
ozone per million Of air in an
eight-day series of expert
ments. Previous experiments
on animals have shown that
exposure to as much as IL
parts Of ozone to a million
parts of air sometimes have
proved fatal within three
hours. The dose required to
kill half Of the rats exposed,
however, has been in the range
of 20 to IS parts per million.

Another piece Of antivivi-

recently in your letter column.
Many lives have been saved

Perhaps the antivivisec-
tionists do not know that ex-
perimental animals are treated
with the same consideration or
even with more consideration
than are people in our hos

Boat Hearing
Again Told Of
License Need
BY JOHN v. HORNER

Congress was urged again to-
day to require the licensing Of
persons who operate motor
driven pleasure boats.
Robert M. Phelps of Annapolis,
president and executive director
of the American Yachtsmen's
Association, said majority of
members of his organization
favor "a workable system of
licensing"
One of the main benefits. he
testified at a hearing of the
House Merchant Marine and
Fisheries Committee, would be
the education of people in
handling boats.
Mr.. Phelps proposed a license
which could be revoked for cause.
He said this would tend to in
crease boat safety.
1t has been estimated that Is
million Americans now enjoy
water recreation through the use
of more than S million pleasure
craft. The committee headed by
Representative Bonner, Demo-
crat of North Carolina, is in
quiring into the need for legisla-
ton to promote safety on navi-
gable waters.
Numbering Is Favored
Mr.. Phelps said his associa ton
advocates the expansion of the
Federal numbering system of
boats to include all craft using
power. This would add a large
number of smaller pleasure
boats. He said there is a need
