Versailles Club Not
Satisfied With Pace
In McKeesport League

June 18th in a Greater Nc
Keesport League game, Ver-
sailles Lodge 146 softballers
defeated the Dravosburg Mer-
chants, AZ, behind the five
hit pitching of Ed Burger.
Two days later they de-
feated the Clarion C.F.U.
Lodge 248 aggregation, 81,
with four of the runs coming
in the 7th frame after the
visitors had scored their only
run on a round tripper by
Turina. Dupin on the mound
for us also featured a home
run on the attack.
June oath found the Hill
toppers, in league play, deal
ing us a reverse by pushing
over 4 runs in their top half
of the 9th inning. Bill Soles
on the mound against us al
lowed but six hits, one half of
the number which the oppo-
nents registered against us.
Versailles concluded the
series with these same Hill
toppers by winning 12-4 on
June 9th, thus coming out
ahead in this particular ser
les a winner in three games.
Ed Burger, our twirler, won
his 18th game.
! This win gave the team
a 17-9 record at this stage,
a league standing of 7 and
5, and so placed us behind
the first placed Dravos-
burg by a game.
On June 26th the Versailles
C.F.U.-ers engaged in a dou.
ble-header and d. f e a e &
Greenock, 80, and the Nc.
Keesport Merchants, 9-3. Geo
Dupin was the winning pitch
er in both games, the details
of which are lacking to youl
scribe.
Committing six miscues, W.
lost to the Elizabeth A.C. or
June 3Oth, FL, to tag George
Dupin with a tough loss. Paw
lecic, Burgess and Evanovicf
had two hits apiece in a losing
cause.
Trailing so going into th'
last half of the 9Th frame
against the local Jay Ce'
Gees, the Lodgemen put on F;
scoring spree, three, one ant
four runs to come from be
hind and win 81.
Tom Pavlecic had thre'
singles, while Ted Orabovich
Steve Kisan and Leo Zaba'
each had a pair of hits. Join
. ing this latter group was als'
the winning pitcher Georg'
Dupin.
We suffered the first
shutOut of the season on
July 3rd, when the OppOs-
ing pitcher, Palum b o,
shackled us by six well
scattered hits.
At the same tint mis- team
mates, the Crimson Boosters
were picking up runs in tn
second, fifth and eight
frames to emerge a 10 win
ner. Steve Kisan, our left
fielder, collected two hits. Th'
setback dropped the team tt

Delay or Progress?

It would be inexcusable II Secretary
Of Interior Seaton's belated interest In
the Constitution avenue bridge should
lead TO another futile delay in the con-
struction Of critically needed bridge
lanes across the Potomac.
The Secretary is entirely within his
rights in seeking meeting with District
officials to review the impact of the
bridge on the monumental park areas
near the Lincoln Memorial. These
parks are the responsibility Of the In
terror Department. And President Ell
senhower, in effect, directed that such
a review be made when he signed the
bridge act in 1854. Certainly every
effort should be made TO minimize the
disruptive effect of the many ramps and
approach roads required by traffic on
both sides of the river.
Mr.. Seaton's review, however, will
be useless II the Secretary simply adopts
the position Of the National Park Serv-
ice, an agency Of his department. For
years, the park officials' approach has
not been one Of cooperative enterprise,
but Of total opposition to the bridge
itself. Their efforts, to the mounting
Illustration of Washington motorists,
have led to endless cycles OF obstruction
and delay.
Mr.. Seaton says he is stranger TO
the bridge plans, and that he will study
them with an open mind. With such an
approach, some desirable notifications

Animated Unity

Family squabbles sometimes end up
bringing families closer together. One
might hope this will be result Of the
squabble that has been going on within
the newly born European Economic
Community and the European Atomic
Energy Community, with the European
Coal and Steel Community joining in.
Like so many family fuses, this
one involves seemingly rather unim-
portant question, or combination Of
questions. The issue, in brief, Is whether
there should be single capital city and,
II so. where. The Coal and Steel Au-
thority already is headquartered in
Luxembourg and likes It there. It says,
in effect, It would be glad to have the
others Join it, but 1t is not about to
leave to join the others somewhere else.
But the Committee for the United States
OF Europe strongly recommended q
single capital-and lot OF cities would
like to be the capital of what might
someday be a United States OF Europe.
Among those bidding" are Brussels,
Strasbourg, Turin, Naples and Stresa-
with Paris always ready and willing.
News reports said the Foreign Min
listers Of the six countries involved dis
cussed the matter with animation
which may be a diplomatic understate-
ment. There was suggestion that the
Prime Ministers might have TO be called
In. Presumably, there has been no talk
about summoning the Defense Ministers.
No doubt, like so many other crises, this
too will pass. There are high hopes for
all OF these multinational communities
and a little family feuding about where
they are going to live is not likely to
end up with everybody being perma-
nently animated" toward everybody
else. :.

When these seeds were ir-
radiated with reutrons, heavy
sub-atomic particles some.
times called the heavy artil-
lery shells Of the atomic
world. there was virtually no
delayed effect. This appar-
emily brings the effects home
TO the action Of gamma, or
very powerful X-rays.
These experiments" says
the commission report,
"have many important i'm
plications as to the way in
which radiation acts on
seeds. They indicate strong
~ that the action OF the
X-ray Is not by o direct hit
on Q sensitive target. 1t now
appears that the X-rays sem

quently completes the des-
truction at these sites. II a
site can be desensitized be-
fore oxygen can reach 1t. as

ter. the cell will return TO
normal. Another possible in
depreciation Of these expert
ments is that free chemical
radicals are formed In dry
seeds at the time Of irradia-
ton. These can be stored for
relatively long periods and
then produce destructive eff
fects only In the presence Of
oxygen"
Theory on Animal Cells
Presumably various animal
cells. especially the germ cells
which carry units Of heredity
are effected in much the same
manner as plant cells. but
controlled experimentation
with these is very difncult. 1t
has been recognized for q long
time that human reproduc-
tive cells are extremely sensi-
tive to radiation. There Is
sometimes very great damage
resulting from relatively low
doses but. on the other hand,
occasional recovery after very
high exposure.
Several experiments to ex-
plain this phenomenon are
reported. 1t may partly be ex-
planned. q commission report
says. by the fact that at GER
tain stages Of their develop
ment the spermatogonia,
which later develop into germ
cells. are extremely sensitive
to radiation and few can sur
vive relatively mild doses.
Thus germ cells themselves
fail to be renewed after their
normal lifetimes.

Quiet, Pleosel

The Squabble over assignment OF
blame for this country's tagging missile
effort is tiresome and childish. Figura-
lively speaking, 1t is about as helpful as
another hole in the head.
Mr.. Truman touched on the latest
round when he said that President
Eisenhower did pretty good job when
he had someone-meaning Mr.. Truman
Ito lead him by the hand and tell him
what to do. Senator Knowland and
Representative Joe Martin thought that
this was incredible" although why they
should have felt impelled to say so is
beyond our understanding. Mr.. Truman,
especially after one of those brisk. ex-
hilarating walks In the early morning.
Is always saying incredible things.
Messrs. Knowland and Martin were quite
wrought up. however, and they gave a
chapter-and-verse recital designed to
prove that Mr.. Truman had done less
for our defense than Mr.. Eisenhower,
or, to put it another way. that Mr.. Eisen-
hover had done more than Mr.. Truman.
Actually, at this late stage OF the
game, It doesn't make great deal Of
difference. There Is blame enough for
both administrations and we doubt that
any elections are going TO be won by
trying to weigh and parcel out the
respective shares. The important thing
is to stop this squabbling. What the
country needs Is little quiet so that
the men who are working hard to repair
the damage can get on with their Job.

Shift in Farm Emphasis

PRESIDENT ElSenhoWer's budget mes
sage proposal to eliminate the acre.
age reserve part of the soil bank
program after the 1858 crop year indi-
Gates sound shift in emphasis on the
problem Of controlling land use. For
in place Of this year-by-year formula
for encouraging reduced agricultural
productions formula that has proved
both costly and questionable In its net
value-it is further planned that the
longer-term conservation reserve pro-
gram viii be stepped up.
In brief, the two programs have
worked like this: Under the acreage
reserve. farmers have been paid for
taking land out of production Of major
crops for one year only. As q practical
matter, many have participated In this
program largely because of poor crop
prospects anyway and by more intensive
cultivation Of other land have kept pro-
duction high. While the Department
of Agriculture recently estimated that
81 billion Of potential surplus crops had
been eliminated through this formula in
the past year, the compensating pay
ments totaled $6l4 million. Further
more. the fact that Congress wrote new
restrictions into the program for this
year-including a limitation on indi-
vidual payments-has reduced farmer
interest and made 1t virtually certain
that much less acreage would be with
drawn In the coming season.
BY contrast, the conservation re-
serve plan tends to retire marginal
farming land on a long-term or even
permanent basis through provision that
the land viii be planted in grass, trees,
legumes or other soil improvement crops.
There has been widespread hope, both
In and out Of administration circles,
that operation Of this program will
encourage ineficient farmers or those
on poor lands to turn to other occupa-
tons. In the past year, 6.5 million acres
were retired through this program at a
cost to the Government Of $1O0 million.
The department hopes to add another
10 million acres to the reserve this year.
Budget-wise. 1t will provide additional
funds for the long-term program but
should show net saving by reducing
the heavy expenditures on the acreage
reserve plan. Obviously, the shift in
emphasis Is not in itself a final, happy
answer to the farm problem" but 1t
offers promise of being a less costly and
more constructive approach.

WSTAS IN SCIENCE
BY THOMAS R. HENRY
Reduction Tests on Plants and Seeds

Damage TO cells from ex-
posure TO radiation continues
for long periods after the
dose which initially causes 1t.
This has been shown In
experiments on seeds and
plants conducted at labora-
tories throughout the country
under sponsorship Of the
Atomic Energy Commission.
The experimenters have
found. the commission has
just reported. that the effect
Of radiation does not cease
with cessation Of radiation,
but may increase subsequently
for relatively long periods"
In one Of the most illumi-
mating of these experiments
dormant barley seeds were
irradiated and then stored
for varying periods. They
then were terminated and
grown on moist blotters.
Radiation damage was meas
ured In the reduction In
seeding height at seven days
rs compared with height Of
seedlings from nonirradiated
seeds.
Effects Of Storage
ut was found" says the
report. that in many situa-
tons damage was increased
by as much as three-fold by
storage for "a hours. There
were two components in the
curve Of damage related to
time Of storage. The first
component was rapid and al
most reached its maximum
after approximately "a hours
AZ room temperatures. The
second was very slow and
lasted for five weeks or long
er.
water and oxygen con-
tents during and following
irradiation were very import
ant In determining the
amount Of damage and the
magnitude Of the delayed eff
feet. Low moisture content
and excess oxygen both in
crease the delayed effect. The
temperature Of the seed both
before and after irradiation
also was very important. Pre-
vious high temperatures
seemed to protect the seed.
whereas high temperatures
afterwards increased the
damage. Pressing seeds in
dry ice Immediately after
irradiation retarded the ap-
pearance Of the delayed
damage, but as soon as the
seeds were warmed TO room
temperature the course OF
damage continued"
