Algerian Terror

frances President Coty is reported
to be disappointed at the relatively re-
strained response of the United States
to his appeal for condemnation of the
massacre of 800 Moslems last week, pre-
sumably by Algerian rebels. And now.
Algerian nationalist spokesman, both In
Paris and in New York, are suggesting
that the French themselves were respon-
sible for the killings.
Very few Americans will believe this
accusation. For the massacre, In which
800 people in the village OF Melouza-all
OF the males over 15-were taken out and
killed, has the earmarks of a terroristic
reprisal against Moslems suspected by
the nationaliSts Of collaborating with the
French.
The French position In Algeria would
not be greatly helped, however, by even
the severeSt condemnation OF terror. For
the fact seems to be that nationalist re-
sistance is growing, and sympathy for the
nationalist appears to be on the rise In
neighboring Tunisia.
France has sent some 100000 troops
to Algeria but they have not been able
to put down the terror. The assassina-
lions and the bloody raids, generally at
night, go on-resulting in the intimida-
ton Of those Moslems who might be In
sympathy with the French. II enough
force could be brought to bear, order
might be restored. But France lacks the
requisite strength, and it probably could
not or would not foot the bill II the
forces were available. This, at any rate,
is the inference to be drawn from the
hostility of the Parliament to M. Mollet's
recent tax proposals.
What is happening is that the French.
at least in terms Of resources, are being
bled white In Algeria-with little real
hope that their effort to "pacify" the

OPENING the FBI Files

Justice Clark says that the Supreme
Courts decision in the Jencks case means
that "those intelligence agencies of our
Government engaged in law enforcement
may as well close up shop for the court
has opened their files to the criminal and
thus afforded him Roman holiday for
rummaging through confidential infor-
nation as well as vital national secrets"
This, perhaps, is an extreme view. 1t
seems clear, however, that the court has
gone much further than it needed to 60
If It's purpose was merely to insure justice
for criminal defendants.
Jencks, an official of a left-wing
union, was convicted of perjury In filing
an aff1davit that he was not Communist.
At the trial, the prosecution relied largely
on the testimony Of two FBI undercover
agents, one of whom has since been dis
credited. These agents had submitted
reports to the FBI, and the lawyers for
Jencks asked the trial Judge to examine
the statements to determine whether
there was any material conflict between
them and the testimony given by the
agents at the trial The Judge refused on
the ground that there had been no show
ing of inconsistency.
The Supreme Court might have ruled
that the trial Judge should have examined
the reports and, If material inconsist-
encies were found, permitted the de-
fendant to use them in attempting to
impeach the testimony of the agents. This
would have protected the FBI files from
indiscriminate disclosure and, at the
same time, would have adequately safe
guarded the right Of the defendant to a
fair trial, assuming that our trial judges
are to be trusted.
But the court went much further.
Apparently reversing one of its own 1912
rulings, 1t held that the trial Judge should
have permitted the defendant to examine
the documents in the FBI file and that
then, and only then, could the Judge
determine whether any material in the
documents could be used by the defense.
In other words, this ruling opens the files
to criminal, or a Communist, even
though there may be nothing in them
that he can use in his own defense. We
do not know what constructive purpose
this serves. It could compromise the FBI
f1leS without serving the ends of justice
in any way. Why not let the Judge exam
Inc the documents in the first instance,
and decide whether there is anything in
them which the defense should be per-
mitted to use? He will have to decide
this in the end, anyway.
The best that can be said for this
decision is that it is ambiguous. There is
language in it which indicates that the
ruling should be narrowly applied. And
there is other language which indicates
that it should be broadly applied. It's
meaning needs to be clarified, and Con-
gress should clarity it If the court will not.

Exploring New Frontiers

Air Force Captain j. w. Kittinger, IT,,
Is modern pioneer whose exploration Of
the upper atmosphere is as dangerous
and, withal, as prophetic of things to
come as the ventures of Inbound ex-
plorers OF the past Having pushed up
ward into space farther than any other
human passenger of balloon, young
Captain Kittinger has added new chap
ter to mans knowledge of the sky'S mys-
teries. AS such knowledge accumulateS,
the dream Of man-piloted expedition to
the moon or to some planet becomes less
fantastic.
It Is true that another Air Force
fiyer, Captain Ivan Kincheloe, jr., climbed
higher into the sky last year than did
Captain Kittinger. But Captain Kinche-
loe's flight was hit-and-run affair, made
In rocket research craft that reached
10000 feet. Captain Kittinger's balloon,
on the other hand, lowered for two hours
at about $4,000 feet, giving its passen-
ger and his recording instruments plenty
OF time to make valuable scientific
observations.
In staying so long at such an altitude,
Captain Kittinger was learning not only
about rare atmosphere and low tempera-
lures but about the hazards Of those in
visible and dangerous particles, coSmic
rays. Several years ago, scientists be-
lieved that at heights above 10000 feet
the bombardment Of primary cosmic rays
would become a serious peril to man.
However, Captain Kittinger and his COL
leagues at Holloman Air Development
Center, in New Mexico, have studied the
effects Of cosmic rays on animals sent by
balloon to 100000 feet and higher and
have found little apparent effect on them.
OF course, there may be long range in
juries not now evident. Nevertheless,
Kittinger and his fellow explorers Of the
outer reaches Of the earth's air envelope
have decided to make several high-alti-
tude flights, Of which the one over Min
nesota was the FIRST. BY such daring they
are pushing the celestial frontier back
farther and farther, and thus no doubt
are blazing the trail for space travellers
OF some future era.

Coffin Nails?

The American Cancer Society's report
on tobacco smoking is about as disturbing
warning as has been sounded in a long
time. BY way Of comparison, what we
have been hearing about the long-range
genetic danger inherent in fallout from
nuclear tests-a danger still very much
in question-seems mild and almost in
consequential. For what the society has
concluded, after an exhaustive four-year
study, is that there is far more truth
than exaggeration in the old-fashioned
phrase that describes cigarettes as "cofIin
nails"
At any rate, as presented to the Amer
lean Medical Association, the society's
findings show that the lung cancer death
rate Is spectacularly higher among smok-
ers than among nonsmokers- times
greater, for example, among those who
consume two packs of cigarettes a day
than among those who abstain complete
ly. Further. the study indicates that
heavy smoking very markedly increases
the chances of fatal heart attacks. In
short, the basic moral of what the So
ciety reports is that IL you want to live
longer, smoke less or not at all, pref
erably not at ALL
This thesis, of course, still needs to be
proved on definitive basis 1t is not the
last word on the subject. The tobacco in
dustry's research committee, for example,
has been quick to challenge the meth
Zoology" and unsupported assumptions
OF the Society's study. Even so, the study
itself, involving no fewer than $4,000
men, has been carried out in manner too
impressive to be shrugged on Maybe it
will be invalidated by later findings, but
at the moment it looks persuasive enough
to make one hesitate before he lights up

but may actually be murderous.

On certain issues, some members of

barely on speaking terms with each other.
But all Of them seem to be able to MAIN

Israel And although their unity in that
respect may actually be more apparent
than real, it is nonethelesS formidable
enough, at least from the propaganda
standpoint, to be major impeachment to
a peace settlement in the Middle East.
This is well illustrated by the Leagues
decision to intensity its economic squeeze
on its Jewish neighbor in two ways, among
others: (D BY boycotting Arms that sell
motor vehicles to Israel or are under con-
tract to provide it with goods and serv-
ices, and (2) by establishing a unified

much more bark than bite in it. But still,

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
People GetFot Only by Overeotinq
BY THOMAS R. HENRY

consists Of little more than re-
duction of carbohydrates
starches and sugars-in the
diet. If the carbohydrate in
take is held within limits of
the body's capacity to burn it
UP 1t will not be converted into
fat. Dietary fats themselves do
not contribute very much to
overweight. They stimulate the
fat-burning mechanisms. Thus
eating fat is one way to get
thin.
"The total quantity of meat
eaten is not important" he
said, "but the ratio of three
parts lean to one part fat must
be maintained. Any decrease
in the fat portion will reduce
the weight loss"
Black coffee, tea and water
can be used without restriction
and later fruits and vegetables
low in carbohydrate can be
added. Patients who eat in
restaurants and those who
have completed weight-loss
programs are urged to eat as
much meat and fat as they
wish, with fruit for desert. He
has no criticism of cereals,
milk and other food excluded
from this diet, he said, but
they have no place in the diet
of the overweight individual.
Some Case Studies
First-year findings Of q
long-term study of industrial
employees who suffer heart at
tacks. involving 200 cases
among the 10000 employees Of
the Du Pont Co., were re-
ported by two company doc
tors. Only two of the heart
cases we're women.
The study shows, DR.. Sidney
Pell reported. that attacks in
crease sharply with age, are
most likely during the sum-
mer. have nothing to do with
the kind of job held. 1t also
appears that overweight and
high blood pressure have little
to do with surviving such an
attack but do increase the risk
of suffering.
However, apprehension and
overweight were somewhat
greater among heart victims.
1t was estimated that the risk
is increased about 10 per cent
by the former and so per cent
by the latter.
Approximately third of the
patients died within 80 days of
the attack. The chances of
dying within this period APP
peared to increase with age.
About half the victims were
i'll from 80 to 100 days. The
duration of illness did not seem
to be affected by age.
An interesting sidelight was
that overweight among the
patients decreased with age.
This suggests the possibility
that the role of excess fat is
considerably more important
in younger persons.

NEW YORK, June 5.-There
have been all sorts of explana-
tons of getting fat-such as
obscure glandular disturbances
and emotional. instability.
These are, for the most
part. just so much wishful
thinking, it was stressed at a
meeting of the American
Medical Association here to-
day.
Overweight is an increas-
ingly serious problem in
American medicine. For ex-
ample, a 80 per cent increase
before middle life runs up
the death rate from all sorts
of causes rs to 80 per cent.
1t is by no means so much
Of a problem for doctors in
other countries.
There is only one common
sense explanation, DR.. George
L. Thorpe Of Wichita, Kans.,
told the physicians - the
American standard of living.
In other words, folks get fat
by eating too much and, gen.
orally speaking. from no other
reason. Other reasons are
just polite coverups.
Overweight from glandular
disorders. DR.. Thorpe said,
long since has been discredited.
AS for emotional conflicts, he
continued. IF one is aware of
the excess weight in the audi
ence of a medical convention
such as this one he is. forced
to the conclusion that the
medical profession is extremely
maladjusted emotionally.
It's Up to the Fat Ones
1--WE have the reasonable
concept that the American
people are the best-fed people
in the world and have at their
command the most food. We
have the highest level of
economy in the world and the
most ingrained habits Of self
satisfaction"
He has found. he said, that
a person must be strongly mo-
tivated to lose weight. Other
wise any medical treatment
ever heard of will do little
good.
IF a woman decides to re-
duce weight because her fam
lily and friends urge her to do
So" he said, success is not
often obtained. If she decides
to reduce to increase her own
attractiveness it is not diff
cult to carry out a successful
program.
THE overweight business
man seldom is sold on the idea
of losing excess weight by de-
sires of his wife and family.
But the general fact that a
80 per cent increase in weight
increases mortality rates as
much as 80 per cent he readily
understands. as he deals with
factors of depreciation daily in
his business"
