Little Identification

It was with understandable gratif-
cation that West Germany on New Years
Day welcomed the Saarland as the tenth
state in the Federal Republic. To a
country that has been unhappily par
titioned since the end of World War II,
the return of this small but industrially
wealthy enclave symbolizes "a little re-
f1cation"-perhapS sure step toward
the day when West and East Germany
again will be Joined and the capital of
a new Germany may return to the great
city of Berlin. But by contrast with the
Saarland's homecoming" in 1885, this
one In 1857 reflects highly encour-
aging comfy and rapprochement be-
tween France and Germany-key powers
in every hope that pattern of perma-
nent peace and stability may be found
for Western Europe.
Both the manner of settlement and
the terms involved in resolving this last
territorial dispute between France and
Germany reflect genuine credit upon the
two governments. Through years of pa
tient negotiation, Chancellor Adenauer
in Bonn and succession of French
PremierS in Paris studied and searched
for a just solution of problem that has
plagued French-German relations for
centuries. Their agreement, winning its
final parliamentary Endorsement only
last month, is compromise that offers
tangible benefits to all and, most happily,
conforms to the wishes of the Saarlanders
themselves.
Politically, the territory'S indignation
into the West German republic was COM
pleted in the ceremonies yesterday. Eco
nomically, the transition will take place
over three-year period-allowing time
for gradual adjustment Of currencies,
banking systems, trade, taxes and Gus
toms control. Concurrently, two other
greements-involving long-term hopes
of France particularly-wil be imple-
mented. One provides for canalization Of
the Moselle River to permit cheaper
transport Of Ruhr coal to the French
Lorraine industrial plants and of French
steel en- route to the port Of Rotterdam.
The other allows French construction of
canal paralleling the upper Rhine
River, with guarantees that the Rhine
water level will not be jeopardized. In
this interlocking relationship between
France and Germany, their common
frontier region that is so rich in natural
resources and In industry should con-
tribute abundantly to their mutual
prosperity.

Ing criminals on the run, cooperative

fective crime detection and prevention.
Continued teamwork among local law en-

Crime Here and Elsewhere

1t is gratifying to know that WASH
ington provides one of the few bright
spots on the ugly crime picture which
Director Hoover of the Federal Bureau
OF Investigation has revealed in his year.
end report to the Attorney General The
Nations crime record for 1855 was the
worst "in the history of recorded crime
statistics" according to an FBI tabula-
zion. Yet, while lawlesSness was increas-
ing IL per cent nationally, crime In the
Nations Capital was declining approx
3nately 10 per cent.
= The situation for the country as
whole Is so serious as to warrant special
study by State and city authorization
the rise in crime was attributable mainly
to State and local violations The report
to Attorney General Brownell showed that
more than 2.5 million major crimes were
committed during the past IL months
surprising by $4,000 the all-time high
total set in 1854. Only robbery failed to
keep pace with the upward trend Of fell
onies, and the robbery total was only
slightly below that Of 1855.
BY contrast, Washington's crime rec
ord for the year was one of which police,
prosecutors and judges have reason to
be proud. For major crimes have con-
tinued their downward trend during most
of 1855. Robbers, yokers and thugs of

Poles Wander; Eorth's Crust Falls OFF

The North and South Poles
wander.
Great chunks Of continents,
part Of the earth's crust, break
OF and drift like icebergs over
vast distances.
Both these conclusions have
been strongly opposed by
geophysicists in the past. The
first now Is almost inevitable.
The second Is highly prob
able.
They are the most logical
ways to explain the anomalies
Of fossil magnetism" accord
ing to the annual report Of
the Carnegie Institutions De-
partment Of Terrestrial Mag
netism, which has struggled
with the puzzle for the past
two decades.
When rocks are formed,
magnetic particles, In effect
tiny magnetic needles. are
locked in place. Presumably,
when they were free to move
in the original material from
which the rocks were made,
they were lined up with re-
spect to the magnetic poles Of
the earth and should remain
in the same position for all
time.
Still Wander Some
But long studies have shown
that many Of them. depend
ing on the age of the rocks,
certainly are not lined verti-
cally with the present loca-
lions Of the poles. One OBJ
vious implication is that the
positions of the poles them
selves have shifted greatly
over millions of years. They
wander somewhat today. Re-
cent observations, for exam
pie. indicate that the south
magnetic pole is moving from
four to six miles a year.
Another explanation has
been that the position of the
rocks themselves has changed
radically-that parts of the
earth's crust now in the North
ern Hemisphere once were in
the Southern Hemisphere, and
vice versa.

@. Do jellyfish have eyes?-
r. o.
A. Yes. The jellyfish has
been described as the lowliest
creature that has an eye. The
baby jellyfish is provided with
eight primitive eyes, located
around the rim of its "um-
brella," and visible as minute
scarlet dots. A small transpar-
ent hood covers each eye. 1t is
probable that these eyes can
distinguish light from dark
ness. or see moving masses.
They are too undeveloped to
see as human eyes see.
@. Did the ancient Egyp-
tians believe that the earth
was nat? w. H.
A. Hieroglyphics from five
small Egyptian pyramids were
reported, in 1852, to show that
Egyptians of 1000 years ago
believed the earth was round.
The TRANSACTIONS were made, by
DR.. Samuel A. B. Mercer of
Trinity College, University of
Toronto, who had spent six
years completing translation
of the hieroglyphics unearthed
In 1880 at Sakkareh.
@. Why is the turkey, a
native of America, named for
a foreign country?-L. j.
A. Early explorers took the
bird back to Spain. In the
18th century it was confused.
