Scientists Probe Icecops
For Cause Of Plaques

materials either here or in the
United States.
Considerable light may be
thrown on the past. Nobody
knows, for example. what hap
pened to the original IcelandiC
colony which lived here for
more than four centuries and
apparently, at times prospered
1t suddenly vanished. There
has been speculation that its
end was because of an epidemic
of some sort. The end came
shortly after the black death
which threatened to depopulate
northern Europe.
There is another aspect OF
the work which admittedly is
highly speculative. Might the
living dead" be revived even
after thousand years of fro
zen sleep indistinguishable from
death itself.
Admittedly this would be i'm
possible for the multi-celled
organism. The water in the
cells would become ice. The ice
crystals would puncture the
cell walls. and thus kill the
cells themselves.
To avoid this it would be nee
essary for the freezing process
to be very rapid so that the
temperature level at which ice
is formed would be hurdled
The result would be not cry
stalline ice. a solid, but plastic
Ice, a semi-liquid. Then, pre-
sumably, the cell walls would
be uninjured, but all observable
life processes would cease.
Bugbears Raised
This has been accomplished
with thin sections of leaf. 1t
might very well have happened
in nature to bacteria under
certain conditions. Among the
bugbears raised of late
somebody is alawys raising
bugbears-is that if a con-
siderable part of either the
Greenland or Antarctic ice
shelves should melt suddenly,
germs for many generations in
a state Of suspended animation
might revive in vast numbers
and devastate the world with
unknown maladies. The melt
ing, OF course, would have to be
very rapid. This has been the
subject of some recent Rus
sian speculations. 1t is only
fair to say that medical officers
here put no stock in the idea,
Even at the lowest state OF
living possible, they maintain,
any living organism must have
some nourishment. There
would be none in the middle
of the ice cap.
One incidental observation
they have made is that germs
act more slowly in North
Greenland than in temperate
climates. 1t is a curious
phenomenon, not easily ex-
plainable.

she sees on the bus going to
work every day. She says he
seems to be interested in her,
too, but they have never spoken
I tell her she should just sit
down next to him and strike
up a conversation. but she says
he should do it first.
Cynthia is very unlucky with
men. She was in love with one
Of the executives in her offlce
for a whole year, but he
wouldn't give her a tumble. I
tell her she is just too shy. She
must be more forward with
men.
Cynthia B.-Maybe it's true
I'm just not aggressive enough,
but I can't think it's right for
a girl to make all the advances
especially when it's really a
pickup in a public place. / know
lots Of girls do things like
that. but I would be so en-
barrassed I would hardly know
what to say.
My mother is constantly
pushing me to talk to different
young men in our apartment
building. but again, I think it's
the mans place to start the
ball rolling. I'm just old-fash-
Toned that way, l guess.
My married sister has intro
duced me to a few men, but
they rarely call again. I guess
my trouble is shyness. realize
I'm not a very lively date. but
I can't help it. I freeze up
when I think the man isn't
especially interested in me.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Shyness and lack Of agrees
siveness are the least of Gym
thia's problems. Her main prob
lem appears to be a lack of
interest in life, an unwilling
ness to do anything but await
the appearance Of some dream
man.
Only a girl leading a very
empty life could fix her inter-
est for two whole years on a
stranger in a bus. Only q girl
who prefers a dream life to
reality could "fall in love" with
a man who pays no attention
at all to her. Only a girl who
is deeply engrossed in herself
would freeze up" when she
thinks the man isn't especially
interested"
Mrs. j. B. and Cynthia say
nothing about the girls activ-
ities-other than going to
work. They say nothing about
her girl friends. clubs, church
work. community services,
courses, hobbies. All the S e
things are activities which
draw people together and give
the individual a chance to live
and expand.
If Cynthia took an active
interest in many things, she
would not have to think about
the problem Of her shyness
and lack Of aggressiveness. She
would feel more alive and
would want to share her in
terest and excitement about
life with others.
If she met men through her
activities. Cynthia would not
have to face the problem of
whether or not to talk first.
Certainly, picking up strangers
is not the best way for a girl
to meet a man, yet romances
and friendships have been
started that way.
Such relationships. however,
can flower successfully only If
both individuals have vital in
terests-other than looking for
a pickup or dreaming about
someone they have never spoken
to.

segregation decisions.
In certain urban areas OF the
South the Negro quite obviously
has already become something OF q
political force. At the statewide
level, however, he hasn't as yet
become anything like a significant
factor to date, though his switch
in 1856 has been quite disturbing
in some states to the Democratic
leaders who have expressed them
selves.
Official vote tabluations have
tended merely to increase the
worry of some state Democratic
leaders who are beginning to Won
der what the extent of Republican
gains might have been if the COP
had staged real about campaign
at the state or local level-which
it didn't do, of course, in large
part of the South.
Yet the trend of the Negro vote,
while viewed with concern by some
politicians and others, is seen in
many quarters as meaning that it
is likely Negro voters in the South
will tend to split in future national
elections just as the white south
ern voters have been increasingly
inclined to do in recent years.
In some of the one-party states
South Carolina and Mississippi
might be cited as prime examples
"a not infrequently expressed
view is that with the white vote
divided, the Negro vote could be-
come the deciding factor in ma
tional elections in some southern
states where a two-party pattern
is considered to be definitely in
the making.
The opposite view, of course, is
that if both national parties con-
tinue to adopt platforms that I'M

into consideration other issues than
those bearing closely on race and
if there continue to be decided
splits in voting trends among both
white and Negro voters, race can
be subordinated as a political IS

tended to underscore the signifi.
canoe of the rather sharp switch
of the Negro vote in the South to
President Eisenhower in contrast
to the preference for Adlai E. Stew

Another facet to the situation is
the recent disclosure in Washing

trend has conceded, in a broad
way, with strategems by legisla-

thwart Negro registration.
Some local Negro spokesman in
the South explain the switch of the
Negro vote to Mr.. Eisenhower in
1856 as primarily protest against
the harsh and so frequently ex-

some Southern Democratic bigwigs
