PERSONALITY
Anderson Proves Self
Expert FoIIout Prober

A cautious optimist who has
been studying atomic energy and
its implications since 1851 has
been proving himself a worthy
mate for scientists testifying on
Capitol Hill on the fear-fraught
subject of nuclear "fallout."
Clinton P. Anderson. the jun
Tor Senator from New Mexico,
was listening intently as usual
as an atomic scientist said avail
able data on low-level radiation
are not complete enough for
Congress to use as a basis of
judgment as to whether atomic
testing should continue.
IF the information is not good
enough for Congress. it's not
good enough for the Atomic En-
ergy Commission. either, is it?"
the tall New Mexico Democrat
asked.
Interest Dates TO '4Os
The remark-and the line of
reasoning that impelled its utter
Iance-pretty well illustrates Sem
ator Anderson's feelings on
things atomic. He has a great
deal Of respect for science and
scientists. but this respect falls
considerably short of awe and
in on way abridges his right to
make up his own mind.
Senator Anderson first got in
tereSted in atomic affairs in the
mid-40's, when he learned
that there was a lot of interest
ing work going on in his home
State. He was a member of the
House of Representatives at the
time.
A term as Secretary of Agri-
culture interviewed, however, and
1t was not until 1851 when, as
a Senator. he managed to get on
the Joint Committee on Atomic
Energy. But even before that.
Clint Anderson was learning to
know-and like-the strange
new breed that was invading his
desert homeland.
They had imported the great

Scientist Questions
F0IIout Petition

VANCOUVER. British Column
bia. June S (H1.-A past presi-
dent of the American Chemical
Society said yesterday not one
per cent of the 1000 United
States scientists who denounced
further nuclear weapons tests
has a specialists knowledge of
the subject.
DR.. Joel Hildebrand, rs, pro-
fessor emeritus Of chemistry at
the University of California, said
most of the scientists who backed
the appeal Of DR.. Linus Pauling
used their professional status to
air political views. Dr., Paul
ing, a Nobel prize winning bio
chemist. announced the sigma
lures at Pasadena. Calf, Mon
day.
THE risks to human life from
Inuclear bomb tests are very
small. much smaller than the
risks we take in everyday life."
DR.. Hildebrand said in an inter-
view.
DR.. Hildebrand, here to address
the Chemical Institute of Cam
ada. said he had written DR..
Pauling declining to support the
appeal and told him atomic fall
out may be reduced by further
tests.

Uneasiness Betrayed
Senator Anderson's frequent
and probing questions betray a
sense Of deep uneasiness. He is
afraid a stiff-necked attitude on
the part Of the Atomic Energy
Commission may force the United
States-and the world-into q
dangerous radioactive race.

Photo Exhibition
Has FBI Display

The camera is a vital factor in
the investigation of crime, j.
Edgar Hoover. chief of the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation, de-
clared in a statement issued in
connection with the International
Photographic Exposition at the
Armory.
The FBI has its own display
at the exposition. Thirty feet
long. it was prepared for the ex-
position and at the close Of the
show will be included in the FBI
collection of famous crime solu-
tions.
THE camera is an indispensa-
BILE instrument in the modern
day fight against crime" Mr..
Hoover said. 1T preserves the
crime scene and records facts
which help convict the guilty and
free the falsely accused"
In the FBI display. nine panels
show how photography assisted
in the solution Of an actual bank
burglary and murder.
Photographs are used to dem
onstrate how the burglar gained
entrance. Other panels depict
the photographing of a heelprint
and fingerprints left at the scene
and the use of infrared photog-
raphy in determining obliterated
printing on a moneybag.
other evidence shows how
ultraviolet rays detected altera,
tons on an automobile registra-
ton and how the comparison
microscope identified bullet
from the victims body.

Federal Pay

How can the administra-
ton conscientiously object to
a modest increase in salaries
of Government employees, stat
ing it would be inf1ationary
and increase the cost of liv-
ing, while at the same time
favor handing out billions in
foreign aid? Foreign aid is Of
very questionable value. and
considered by many Senators
and others as a gross waste Of
taxpayers money. Mr.. Eisen-
hover reminded US that Gov
eminent employees got a raise
Just two years ago. True. But
it was too little and too late:
therefore, inadequate and still
tagging.
To add insult to injury. I
read the other day where a
Senator had introduced a bill
that would prevent Govern
ment employees from having
little side jobs that would give
them a little more money to
help ends meet.
The President also reminded
us Of the low-cost life insur-
ance and other fringe bene-
fits. This is appreciated and
needed, but what Government
employees need now is more
take-home pay - something
they can use to buy the
necessities Of Unexpectedly

Court Under Attack

The Supreme Court, not at all sur
prisingly, is being brought under fire by
critics of some of its recent decisions.
Some of the proposals to curb the
court are Of the hot-weather variety
the kind that will evaporate when emo
lions cool. In this category we would
put such things as the move by two men,
berS Of the House to impeach all of the
justices and the suggestion which has
come from Senators Eastland and John
Ston that the Constitution be amended
to provide for reconflrmation of the JUS
ticeS by the Senate every four years. Pro-
posals such as these will enjoy their day
in the news, and then they will be
forgotten.
There may be more substance to the
criticism. which has been voiced by Louis
Wyman, who is Attorney General of New
Hampshire and head of the National
Association Of State Attorneys General.
In speech to his organization, Mr.. Wy
man has charged that the Constitution
is being tortured out of all rational his
torical proportion" by recent court deci-
sionS Among other things, he urges
Qualification Of the Tenth Amendment,
which reserves to the States "all powers"
not delegated to the United States by
the Constitution, nor prohibited by it
to the States. There is considerable feel
ing that court decisions have reduced the
Tenth Amendment to something of a
dead letter. Mr.. Wyman's colleagues did
not join his criticism of the court, but
they have urged that certain steps be
taken to offset the impact of court rulings.
Another move, which we think has
a great deal Of merit, is the introduction
Of bills by Senator OMahoney and Repre-
sentative Heating of New York to re-
strict the effect of the courts decision
In the Jencks case. That decision appar-
emily opens the FBI files to persons
brought to trial in criminal cases if testi-
mony derived from FBI sources is used
against them. The OMahoney and Keat-
ing bills would give the trial Judge dis
erection to determine what material from
the files, If any, should be available to
defendants, and we see no reason why
this would not meet the requirements
of fair trial
This summarizes part, but not all,
OF the criticism being leveled at the
court. This criticism may be distasteful
to some people. But the court never has
been, and we know Of no reason why it
should be, beyond the reach of criticism.
1t has made mistakes before and it will
make mistakes again. When the court
deals with matters which involve issues
in which the public is deeply concerned,
1t is only proper that those decisions
should face the test of critical analysis.
The essential thing is that the critics
should be constructive, dispassionate and
informed.

Not Comparable

In passing a bill to liberalize the
police -firemen's retirement plan, the
House justifiably overrode objections that
the measure provided preferential"
privileges unfair to civil service employees
in general. 1t is true that under the bill
District policemen and firemen could re-
tire earlier and gain other benefits not
available to Federal workers as a whole.
But comparisons between the policemen's
and firemen's pension system and that
provided for retired Government en-
ployerS are irrelevant. For public-safety
officers are engaged in hazardous assign
mentS that call for elimination through
retirement Of personnel no longer young
and active.
Congress has recognized the need for
special retirement plans for persons en-
gagged in law enforcement work. In
fact, the existence of liberal retirement
privileges among Federal investigative
agencies has been responsible for Police
Chief Murray's difficulties in maintain
Ing his force at authorized strength.
Unless local police pensions are raised
in line with law enforcement pensions
In the Federal service and in other cities,
the force will continue to lose good men
and to have recruiting troubles. The
Senate, which has delayed action on the
pension bill, ought to consider carefully
the adverse effects which a failure to
act now may have on police effectiveness

Youth at the Wheel

There is lot Of merit in Juvenile
Court Judge Ketcham's proposal that
applications by juveniles for driving per-
mits be reviewed by his court in CO.
operation with the Juvenile Bureau of
the Police Department. Under the pres
ent system, permits are granted boys and
girls between 16 and 10 II their parents
approve. There is no check on court or
police records to determine the reliability
OF young applicants-some of whom oc-
casionally have been involved in unau-
thorized driving Incidents. Public safety
is imperiled when juvenile delinquents,
drag racing enthusiasts and other ire
sponsible youths are given the privilege
of driving an automobile on the public
streets.
Judge Ketcham and the police are
in position to advise the Traffic Depart
ment on the issuance Of permits to chill
dren whose parents consent. The new
Judge Of the court already is concerned
with the number of Juvenile traffic of
tenders coming before him. He has
adopted the sensible policy of taking
their licenses away for stated periods
on conviction of serious offenses In a
further move to concentrate on the
traffic problem, he has set aside special
day for trial of traffic cases. The special
attention being given the problem Of
Juvenile traffic offenses is justified and
overdue.
