Charity and Politics

The Federal Communications Com
mission has gone too far in applying its
equal-time- for political-candidate rule
to President Eisenhower's proposed ma
tion-wide radio and television appeal for
the United Community Funds. It has
been traditional for Presidents to make
such appeals for public support of the
charity drives. The talks always have
been nonpolitical and never in the past
has there been any suggestion that
President had any political or self
promoting object in mind. For the FEC
to propose now that, because Mr.. Eisen-
hover happens to be a candidate for
reelection, the broadcaSting networks
should offer equal time on the air for
his political opponents is stretching the
political speech rule to a ridiculous
degree. The ruling already has hurt the
community fund movement, as at least
one network has announced it will not
carry the Presidents appeal if equal time
must be granted, to all political candi-
dates. The FEC ought to cancel its sense

rule.

Truth Souods'

In common with all men Of
good will, I am immensely en-
couraged by the prospect Of
q clean political campaign this
fall. The best evidence Of this
is the decision of the Republic
can managers to send truth
squads" after the Democratic
speakers. This procedure clearly
indicates that they have read
the Old Testament and profited
by it. It is generally conceded
that the Book of Ruth, one
of the shortest. is also one of
the most beautiful; and as
sumo that the truth squads"
are to emulate Ruth, who, with
her mother-in-law, was on the
verge of starvation.
Ruth said to BoazS II pray
you. let me CLEAN and gather
after the reapers among the
sheaves." Permission was
granted. And certainly the
truth squads" of the Repub-
licans will be welcome toNallay
their own famine by cleaning
after the plentiful harvest
spread before them. And, as
they realize, to paraphrase an
old saying. ITO find truth,
you gotta go where truth is"

Dresser Stays On

washington baseball fans should be
well pleased that Charlie Dresser has been
signed to return next year as manager
OF the Senators. The energetic veteran
came here two years ago with an estab-
lished reputation as real big Lacquer.
In these two seasons he has worked hard
with a club not richly blessed with talent,
and there are some signs that his patient
schooling may pay off in the long run.
The teams record is better this year
than in 1955-both in the won and lost
column and in moving up from eighth
place to seventh. A few Of the youngsters
show bright promise and both Dresser
and President Calvin Grif1tl1 know
where the club needs strengthening
They displayed willingness to trade
freely last winter and over a full seasons
showing their deals have not turned out
badly. They are talking of more trades
in the coming months, once more in terms
Of exchanging veterans for younger play
ers whose potential is considered high.
For club not possessed of strong farm
system or large cash resources 1t is a
logical formula. Dresser has shown skill
at developing some Of the young talent.
More Of 1t next spring may make him look
even better.

Arab Solidarity

It was fully in keeping with past
expressions of solidarity that the tripar-
tite Arab conference at Riyadh should
voice its unqualified support for Egypt
in the Suez Canal dispute. The three
nations epresented-Egypt, Saudi Arabia
and Syria-form the really hard core of
the Arab world in terms of both suspicion
and resistance toward current Western
policies in the Middle East. Nearly
year ago they established single COM
mand for their military forces and their
economic and political relationships have
become increasingly close. 1t is their
voice, too, that has become predominant
in the larger organization of the Arab
League. Actually, the league and vir-
tually all its individual members within
the past seven weeks have made suffl-
GENTLY clear their basic sympathy for the
Egyptian position-even though 1t is not
so clear what they might do Individually
or collectively in some showdown on this
crisis
Militarily, the three nations repre-
sented at Riyadh do not amount to a
major force by modern standards. Even
so, in alliance with their Arab League
associates, they not only hold possession
of the great land mass of the Middle East
but possess sufficient strength at arms to
warrant military respect. Politically, they
represent public opinion Of most of the
Islamic world and can present solid
bloc of some size and influence in the
United Nations Economically, their in
dividual capacities vary greatly. In terms
of cash on hand, Saudi Arabia may be
considered the banker among the three
conference nations, but it is significant
that only few days ago the rulers of
Saudi Arabia and Iraq, another oil
wealthy member of the Arab League, also
met in an unusual atmosphere of anity.
If disruption OF normal operations
through the Suez Canal does pinch the
Egyptian economy unduly 1t is not I'M
likely that financial aid will come from
the weather. neighbors. Indeed, initial
advances from Saudi Arabia to Egypt
already have been reported And finally,
still within the economic field, these sup
porters of Egypt still have the power to
interfere with the oil production that is
so important to Western Europe-even
though that very interference would
affect adversely their own economic
resources.
With all this, however, IL should be
noted that there was nothing belligerent
or threatening about the Riyadh COM

Dim View of Bench

On September II, we COM
memorated the l69th ami
versary Of the signing of our
Constitution. And 80 years
go Abraham Lincoln, from
Illinois, spoke the following
words:
love Of the Constitution
should be the political religion
of the Nation. Let it be taught
in schools. in seminaries, and
in colleges. Let it be written
in primers, in spelling books
ana in almanacs. Let it be
preached from the pulpit, pro-
claimed in legislation halls,
and enforced in courts Of
justice"
The last line, enforced in
courts Of justice" was a warn
ing to the people then and
would be just as appropriate
today. as we are on the verge
Of becoming a Nation governed
by men and not by laws.
Article VI Of our Constitution
states in part: "All judicial Of
ficers. both Of the United
States and Of the several
States, shall be bound by oath
or Affirmation to support this
Constitution"

desoxyribonucleic acid, gen.

tanned which, although not
chemically pure, was very ac-
tive in inducing cell splitting

Promotes Growth
The effects on many plant
tissues have been determined.
Kinetin induces or promotes
cell division in tissues Of to-
bacco, carrot, beans, peas,
corn, peppermint and potato.
1t seems reasonable to assume
that it has the same effects
throughout plant life. 1t pro-
notes bud and root formation.
Depending on concentration,
it promotes or inhibits seed
ling growth in various types Of
plants.
Unexpectedly, and Of par
ticular interest to the Ameri.
can Cancer Society, prelimin-
airy studies also indicate that
it promotes growth of animal
tissues.
A most remarkable charac-
teristic Of kinetin is its ability
both to counterfeit or interact
with the auxins by controlling
the proportions of these sub
stances so that it is possible to
regulate both cell size and cell
number.
THE Importance of the re-

hardly can be overempha-
sized. The ability to control
cell sizes and numbers is in
itself a major advance. Kinetin

Several months ago my car
was stolen while parked at the

yards of the Capitol. Even
tually it was picked up where
it had been abandoned in the

The police at no time gave
any indication that they were

"A cnemlcal which causes
living cells to divide has been
isolated by University Of Wis
consin biologists.
Cell division is a basic
phenomenon Of all life and all
growth. Every organism,
plant or animal, starts life as
a single cell. which splits into
two cells. Both these split
and the process goes on in
terminably until the entire
body is formed.
Up to now nobody has un-
derstood the reasons for this
division.
The newly found material,
kinetin. may be the major
factor. 1t has been isolated
from plant material and syn
thesized in the laboratory.
A Plant HOrmone
The discovery by DR.. Folke
Skoog and his associates is
described in the annual report
Of the American Cancer So
ciety. The substance presum-
ably is a plant hormone, or
auxin. Such substances. hav-
ing pronounced effects on
plant growth, we're first dis
covered about rs years ago
when it was discovered that
cutting of the tip Of oat or
other seedlings resulted in
stopping growth of cells below
the cut. BY further expert
ments it was shown that the
tips did produce these SUBJ
stances. called auxins, that
caused the lower cells Of plants
to elongate. Later it was shown
that they had roles in several
plant activities, such as root
formation, formation of fruit
and inhibition of bud growth.
One auxin of particular in
terest was idoleactic acid,
which had been produced syn
thetically long before its pres
ence in plants was known. DR..
Skoog and his associates treat
ed tobacco plant tissue with
this acid. They found that the
cells underwent enormous en-
largement without any divi-
sion. Actually several nuclei
would be formed within a sim
gle cell but it would not split.
The wall would remain intact.
Biologists long have thought
that something was produced
in the nucleus of the cell
which caused division because
the early changes occur
around the nucleus. 1t was
reasonable to assume that
early changes occur in the
nucleus, resulting in the pro-
duction of something which
stimulated the rest of the cell
to divide. Also, cells from
which the nuclei had been
removed did not divide.

The Presidents speech in Peoria was
hard-hitting appeal to the farmers to
stick with him and his farm program.
His argument, in essence, was that
agriculture is shaking of the price
depressing" effects of the Democratic
farm program, that Republican policies
are beginning to produce the hoped-for
results, and that the farmer is assured
Of his fair place in the economic sun If
the country stays with the G. o. P. pro-
gram for another four years.
In support of his argument, Mr..
Eisenhower said that Roadway is being
of farm surpluses-a Stockpile which costs
81 million day Just to store. He said
that the rigid 80 per cent price supports,
which remained in effect until harvest
time last year and to which the Demo-
Gratis proposed to return, are, for the
farmer, "mockery and deceit" In the
year since the 80 per cent supports were
strapped, said the President, farm prices
have turned upward, and are per cent
higher now than last December. He added
that farm foreclosures are at an all-time
AOW, t1lcht 1AAOAC AdA1 III OPCAd OW1l O1lCAA
farms than ever before that the value of
farm land is at an all-time high, and that
farm income is at "billion dollar rate"
above last year. Furthermore, Mr. Eisen-
hover said, something is being done for
the small farmer-the little fellow who
does not benefit from price supports. All
of this, he insisted, is good start in the
right direction" and he intends, if re-
elected, to keep going ahead-"doing all
else that is fair and conStructive-all
that is not political quackery-to bring
our farm people the only kind of pros
perity. they want-prosperity that can be
enjoyed in time of peace"
We do not know how this sounded to
the farmers, who will speak for them
selves in November. But to the nom
farmer, it sounded good. Certainly 1t was
q speech which made no concessions to
political expediency, which promised
nothing that was beyond reasonable
prospect of attainment, and which, in our
judgment, offers the best hope of pulling
agriculture out of the peacetime depres-
sion into which it has sunk under pro-
gram that was geared to wartime needs.
