The Eighty-fifth Congress
has organized and the Demo-
cratic leadership, headed by
Speaker Sam Rayburn in the
House and Majority Leader
Lyndon B. Johnson-both of
Texas-is riding high, wide
and handsome, though by slim
majorities. Senator Johnson,
indeed, owes his continuation
as majority leader to the vote
of the unpredictable Frank j.
Lausche of Ohio, freshman
Senator and former Governor.
Lausche had said he was not
sure how he would vote on
Senate organization--that he
might vote with the Republic
cans despite his membership in
the Democratic Party. Had he
done so. johnson would have
become the minority leader in
the Senate. The Senate vote
would have split AZ to 40, and
Vice President Nixon would
have decided the issue in favor
of the Republicans.
Rarely has a new Senator
created so much stir on the
opening day of a Congress.
Lausche had his Democratic
colleagues-as well as the Re-
publicans-guessing right up
to the time the roll was called
for the election of a president
pro tempore of the Senate. If
he was looking for the spot
light, he certainly attained it.
And rarely has a Senator's
vote been applauded in the
chamber Of the Senate. And
never before has a Senator
been congratulated for voting
with his own party on the mat
ter of Senate organization.
Some of his Democratic COL
leagues rushed over to shake
hands with him after he cast
his vote.
Stevenson Springs Surprises
From Ohio come reports that
Lausche's practice has been to
withhold frequently = his
stand and intentions on i'm
portant matters and issues. He
got away with it in the Senate
at the opening session. Wheth-
er he can give many repeat
performances and not be
heartily disliked by both sides
of the chamber-remains to
be seen.
Democrats took the lead all
along the line during the OPEN
ing hours of the new Congress.
Adlai Stevenson. 1852 and 1856
Democratic candidate for Pres
ldent, in a surprise visit to the
Senate. was given standing
ovation by both Republicans
and Democrats. as he bowed
to them from the diplomatic
gallery where he was seated
with his campaign director,
James Finnegan of Pennsylva-
mia, and Mayor David Lawrence
Of Pittsburgh.
After the session was over,
Stevenson issued two state
ments to the press, which if
known in advance might have
chilled the reception accorded
him by Republicans and Demo-
Gratis. He swung hard at Pres
ident Eisenhower who. he
said. is now asking for AN
other military blank check.

A Dangerous Gap

In keeping with a decision reached
at its recent meeting in New York, the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science is now undertaking to
play a more active and direct role in an
effort to help narrow the great gap that
exists between mans revolutionary scien-
tif1c progress and his relatively backward
social and political habits of thought and
action.
The AAAS decision is based on a
special committee report warning that
the Nation and the world at large are in
the midst of an unprecedented era of re-
search and development profoundly af-
fecting the life of society everywhere. The
warning emphasizes that peoples and
their governments, in their present ma
tional and international way of doing
things. lag far behind this tremendous
revolution and that the lag is full of i'm
menSe potential peril for all of us. Thus,
as the report has put it:
While this advance of science has
greatly improved the condition of human
life, it has also generated new hazards of
unprecedented magnitude. These include:
The dangers TO life from widely dissent
mated radiation the burden of man-made
chemicals, fumes and smogs of unknown
biological effect which we now absorb
large-scale deterioration of our natural
resources and the potential of totally de-
structve war The determination that
scientific knowledge is to be used for hui
man good. or for purposes of destruction
is in the control of social agencies. For such
decisions these agencies, and ultimately
the people themselves, need to be aware
OF the facts and the probable consequences
of action. Here scientists can play deci-
siye role They can bring the facts and
their estimates Of the results Of proposed
actions before the people.
This is another way of saying that
scientists should participate in controyer-
sial social and political affairs which they
have generally eScheWed in the past.
Such counsel, which the AAAS apparently
intends to heed at least in part, cannot be
followed without some risk The risk is
that men of Science-when they move out
Of their own specialized fieldS--occasion
ally will get themselves in hot water and
suffer bunting Of their objectivity. Still,
with that said, the fact remains that
there is reason to welcome any guidance
or caveat they may have to offer as
regards national or international policy
that ought to be shaped in accord with
the revolution they have helped to make.
There can be no doubt, in any case,
that men of science are on sound ground
in warning about the need to bring social
and political thinking more in line with
the kind of world we live in now. For the
tremendous knowledge of our age, unless
1t is properly digested and used wisely
by peoples and governments alike, may
become sort Of unleashed monster that
could be the undoing of all of us In that
sense, as never before in history, society
must learn to employ its scientific wonders
for the common good or else fiirt with its
own extinction.

Clinton Affair

Our frenzy to aid Hungarian
refugees is highly commend
able if those refugees are
actually freedom fighters. but
charity, it is said, should be-
gin at home. In Clinton. Tenn,
numerous American citizens
are under bond in amounts
that would ordinarily apply to
murdererS and will presently
be tried i'll Federal court on
charges of criminal contempt.
They are the pitiable victims
OF court packing. and their
only crime belief in a prin-
ciple. These people believe sep
aration of races essential to the
South's welfare. They picketed
and handed out literature. One
struck a minister who had
overstepped the bounds of his
profession.
The activities were no differ
Cnt than those pursued by the
NAACP during its long cam
paign against segregation; they
are no different than those
pursued by every labor union,
and far less violent. But if
politically appointed Federal
judge can enjoin whole COM
munity against protesting
something it considers unfair,
the same can happen to all
unions. all American Legion
posts, secular groups, PTA, etc.
Without broaching the ques-
ton of the wisdom and justice
OF the desegregation orders eX-
cept to point out with Federal
Judge VIM H. Atwell, of Dali
las. Tex. that there are civil
wrongs as well as rights,
nevertheless feel that such acts
of judicial tyranny as those in
Clinton will destroy the re-
naming shreds of the United
States Constitution. Nor should
we place too much blame upon
a politically appointed judi
clary but, instead. on our own
complacency in the face of
constant bureaucratic trespass-
ing on the States domain.
If desegregation is a matter
OF national principle, how
about the civil rights of the
American Indian? AS the
original American citize
should not any right, civil or
otherwise, aecruing to all
Americans apply equally TO
him?

Downs Hatch Act

Hatch Act Reform" concern
ing the enforcement provi-
sionS of the Hatch Act, is
hardly the type of opinion
which would be welcomed by
the greater portion of Federal
employees. To a great many
employees. the Hatch Act is an
insult. 1t is an infringement
OF their liberties as citizens; il
indicates that Federal en-
ployes are not as worthy as
other citizens. and that they
are potential lawbreakers and
evil-doers who must be kept
in line by the majesty of the
Government. Its provisions,
far from being frightened as
you suggest. should be liberal
lied in some manner so that
Federal employees can hold up
their heads as free men and
women. The Federal empioye
can now be penalized for "as-
sorting the right to strike a
right recognized III certain Eu-
ropean countries. but here
supposedly one of the worlds
most liberal countries y you
can only express such an opin-
ion under the chance of paying
a penalty. if you are a Govern
ment employe.
The definition of what con-
stitutes political activity, in the
minor" sense. is very vaguely
defined. so much so that in
cases where there is a doubt
about the matter in the mind
of. an employe. he is advised to
consult the Civil Service Com
mission before engaging in it.
This. IN many cases, Scares him
of entirely. Evidently the
thought in the minds OF the
legislators when this bill was
under consideration was to
prohibit partisan political &C
tivity, and the abuses of bri-
berry. collision, etc. which
might occur in the course Of a
political campaign where one
side is favored over another.
Now the minor activity might
include activity in behalf of
a particular cause. or a local
issue. in which political parties
as organizations would not
benefit-even by the sce-saw
principle that "one party'S loss
Is the others gain" But APP
parently the complexities in
VOWED in drawing up such a
bill became too much for the
lawmakers. and they sacrificed
the rights of all Federal en-
ployes because minority had
engaged in political activity.
Now all the Government en-
ploye can do is vote. He cam
not argue a case before any
audience-in fact in some Gov
eminent agencies he is afraid
to open his mouth on any
subject. Under these circum-
stances. why should he even
have any interest in voting?
l am surprised that news
paper with your sense of fair
ness would advocate such a
restrictive course, and l feel
that if you have any informa-
ton concerning abuse of the
law as it is now written which
can bolster your case, YOU GER
tainly should let the public in
on it. Another thing. you have
advocated vote for ID. c., and
as the Federal employe could
have little interest in it, who
are you trying to benefit by
ID. e. getting the vote?

Though cardamon is not
grown commercially in this
hemisphere. it is well worth
mentioning because of its
many culinary uses and the
interesting flavor it adds to
breads. cakes and pastries.
AS early as 800 B. c.. carda-
mon was used by the East In
dams and the Arabs. Natives
Of these exotic countries still
chew the seed as we do candy.
1t is a principal ingredient in
the real India curry powder
which is famous with gourmets
the world over.
The cardamon seed is the
seed Of the dried fruit of the
cardamon plant. The outer
covering is a tough fiberlike
material about one-half inch
long and one-fourth inch thick.
The pods are greenish brown
in color when first harvested.
Most Of the seeds we buy today
are bleached to a creamy white
color and it is almost impossi.
BILE to buy the unbleached seed
locally. The seeds grow winthin
the pod in groups of 10 to is.
The outer husk is easily
broken and the seeds then can
be crushed with a mortar and
pestle.
When q recipe calls for 8
cardamon seeds crushed, that
means 8 whole pods. It takes
about 5 pods to make one-half
teaspoon of crushed seed.

The seeds are a great favor

The seeds are also added to

Finland and Sweden, there is
always a huge supply of the
