Violence in the Streets

We again print on this page to-
day letters representative of the ex-
traordinary volume Of mail received by
The Star commenting on violence in
the streets. Commissioner Mclaughlin
seems to interpret such mail as reflect
ing fear (which approaches state of
public emergency" The letters are not
prompted by fear. They are prompted
by righteous indignation over condi-
ton Of affairs which tolerates con-
tinuing brutal assault and robbery Of
lcitizens on the streets of this city, some
times in broad daylight.
The statistics relating to increase or
decrease in such crime are largely ire
1evant. Nor is this sort Of crime peculiar
to Washington. But If it is tolerated as
inevitable, If we merely shrug our shoul-
,ders and say that nothing can be done
about 1t, it will breed other forms of out
rageous anarchy. Sufficiently aroused
by the continued depredations Of GRIM
mals against peaceful citizens, public
sentiment is capable of forcing a rem
edy. We hope that the protesting citi-
Gems will be able to transmit some of
their indignation to public officials re-
sponsible for protection of the public.

Fist in East Germany

Walter Ulbricht, chief of the East
German Communist Party, is regarded
as perhaps the harshest and most I'M
compromising of the StaliniSts still
holding power in Moscow's satellite en-
pire. So the purge just announced by
his regime, since he has been strength
ened by it, almost certainly means that
the people trapped in the captive part
Of partitioned Germany must expect
their puppet tyranny to remain as ty-
rannical as ever. Indeed, 1t may become
even more repressive.
This prospect seems to be plainly
implied in the fact that the purge
apparently the biggest in East Germany
since the workers anti-Red uprising of
June, 1953-has removed from the
party'S Central Committee and Politburo
a heretofore powerful group of leaders
who have been inclined to be relatively
liberal" According to the regimes an
nouncement, the main culprits have
been Karl Schirdewan, Ernst Wollweber
and Fred Oelsner. Their "crime" has
consisted of efforts to "democratize"
Communist policy by openly opposing

CoIIege-or No College?

The long controversy over site for
the Northern Virginia Branch of the
University of Virginia has reached a
stage where the issue, stated simply, is
whether or not there is to be such an
institution. It has become apparent that
the university'S Board of Visitors is de-
termined to ignore the wishes of govern
mental authorities in nearby Virginia
by insisting on acceptance of the free
offer Of the Bowman tract near Herndon.
And it is safe to assume that the Gen.
eral Assembly, if it acts at all this ses-
sion, will approve the recommendation
OF the Board of Visitors rather than that
Of the Board of Control, representing the
four Northern Virginia jurisdictions
concerned. Under the circumstances,
therefore, Arlington and Fairfax Coun-
ties are wise in deciding-however re-
luctantly-to go along with the univer-
sity's choice of the Herndon location.
Joseph Freehill, member of the
Board of Supervisors of Fairfax County,
stated the situation succinctly when he
told the board: IF it comes down to the
Bowman site or no site at all, which is
the way 1t looks, we must then take ac-
ton which will guarantee us an institu-
ton Of higher learning in Northern
Virginia" The board then proceeded by
a 4-to-3 vote to reverse its original stand
against Herndon. The Arlington County
Board already had taken similar action,
for the same reason. Only Alexandria
and Falls Church as yet have not lined
up for the Bowman tract. They would be
well advised to do so, however, or, as Mr..
Freehill has warned, the University of
Virginia may drop the whole idea. Ger
tainly, If the fight against the Bowman
offer continues, the present Legislature
may let the pending appropriation for
the college go over to the next session,
two years hence.
In any event, the decision on site
properly should be made by the univer-
sity in collaboration with the jurisdic-
lions involved-not, as has been pro-
posed by the State Council on Higher
Education, by the Assembly itself. To
impose on the legislators, most of whom
have no interest in Northern Virginia
and little knowledge of it's geography,
the additional task of weighing one site
against another does not make sense.

some of Boss Ulbricht's tough measures.
In bringing It's INST down on all this,
the Ulbricht regime presumably has
acted in keeping with Soviet instructions.
Accordingly. despite Nikita Khrushchev's
attack on Stain two years ago, it seems
clear that Moscow favors a continuation
Of Stalinist methods against East Ger
many. Such course, however, can
hardly fail to intensity the anti-Com-
munist bitterness that is so widespread
in that cruelty abused land, and the
Kremlin may yet regret having rejected
the safety-valve policy advocated by
Herr Schirdewan and the other purged
Red liberals"

An interesting historical footnote,
Just recently revealed, is the fact that
our country. during the Second World
War, had a secret project in which it
perfected rather formidable bow and
arrow. This was done simultaneously
with the fabrication of our atomic bomb.
The throwback weapon, modified YER
sion Of the type used many centuries
ago, was designed for the cloak-and-
dagger agents of the once of Strategic
Services, but apparently they never
found 1t worth using Still, maybe we
ought to hold on to it, and maybe we
ought not to publicize it too much. After
all, If we quietly stockpile it, it might
come in very handy, and give us de-
cisive military advantage, in the after
math Of possible nuclear conflict
which heaven forbid. This is matter
not to be laughed of in the kind of
age we live in now.

NISTAS IN SCIENCE
By THOMAS r. HENRY
Nervous Diseases Are Widely Studied

duced during the prenatal
period. such as nutritional
deficiencies. An island COLI
ony Of these monkeys has
been established.
An estimated as million
Americans-1.5 million OF
them children-are mentally
retarded. From 5 to 10 per
cent Of these must be kept
in institutions at an esti-
mated cost of $4,000 per
person over a lifetime,
The pending experiments
with monkeys, the institute
scientists say. also bear on
this problem. Lack Of oxygen
in the prenatal period has
been shown definitely to have
q retarding effect on guinea
pigs. AS the monkey expert
ments get under way the eff
fects Of induced retardation
will be carefully studied and
various drugs will be used to
determine their impact.
Many thousands are af-
fected with multiple sclerosis
and closely related diseases
which are extremely difficult
to detect in their early stages.
Relatively little is known
about the specific manner in
which they develop.
Important Breakthrough
These diseases attack vari-
GUS parts of the central nerv.
GUS system through a pro-
cess known as demyelination
in which myelin, a fatty
sheath which covers the nerve
f1berS in healthy individuals,
disintegrates or fails to de-
velop. In later stages there
are symptoms ranging from
weakness and paralysis Of
the parts Immediately served
by the nerves to double vision,
severe tremors, difficulty in
speaking and occasional Sc
we're emotional disturbances.
There is no known cure. Vari.
Gus drugs which have seemed
promising have turned out to
be of little value.
There recently has been
one important breakthrough
by the institute scientists
discovery Of the way in which
at least some of the myelin
sheaths are formed from
satellite cells of the central
nervous system known as
neuroglia. One investigator
has developed a method for
producing demyalination in
experimental animals very
similar to that which is found
in human beings. With the
formation process known it
will be easier to determine
the factors which may inter.

There are about 200 dis
eases Of the central nervous
system.
They af1iict at least 20 mil
lions in the United States
some with incapacitating
paralysis. some with blind
ness. some with symptoms
which are hardly perceptible.
Some are hereditary. some
are present at birth but not

which is completely unknown.

evidence. are due to physical
causes either before or short
ly after birth.
Clue on Cerebral Palsy
During the past year, ac-
cording to q report Of the Ma
tional Institute for Neurology
and Blindness, important
clues have been developed on
the relationship between
anoxia Qack of OXYGEN and
cerebral palsy. Guinea pigs
are asphyxiated, resuscitated
and observed. A close correla-
ton is found between the de-
gree of asphyxia and severity
of nerve-muscular damage
which results. In previous ex.
periments it had been estab-
lished that, following resus-
citation, the animals under
went a series Of twitchings
Of the muscles Of the face
not unlike the symptoms of
cerebral palsy in humans.
On the clinical side, efforts
to relate the disease to the
condition Of the mother dur
ing pregnancy are going
forward both at the institute
itself and at various as
ISOLATED institutions An ex-
perimental program now is
projected using the rhesus
monkey, which lends itself
especially to studies of palsy,
mental retardation and some
closely related conditions. It
is easier to get a brain wave
recording from one of these
animals than from a rat or
guinea pig. Moreover, a baby
rhesus can learn certain
problems when it is about 5
days old and then can be
tested for decline in learn
ing ability caused by adverse
factors deliberately intro

They never saw. Tab before.

AS for Turing foods, seed

Robins love them. and so
do starlings. cardinals, cat
birds and mockingbirds: so
do not worry If these and
others eat them, too.
AS for the general psy-
chology Of handling robins"
all we can say is that here
again it is a case of "t.l.c.,"
as they say in the hospitals.
These initials are put on
the charts of some babies,

care"
Handled with tender, low
ing care, some babies who
are not thriving Immediately
begin to gain. :.
We are made that way,
and perhaps the robins are,
too. If your place, Mrs.
M. j. D., is a place where
other birds love to come, you
may be sure that robins will
like it. too.
Do not be afraid that other
species will cause robins to
leave or not come at all.
Robins as well as other birds
tend to be "choosy" in their
attitudes. and this simply
means that they select a
territory. as it is called, and
do not want others Of the
same species too close to
them. This is the main rea-
son for the robin fights so
often seen in the springtime.
We like to feel that the
garden and house where
birds are welcomed are
known to the birds and ap-
preciated by them. They
have no way Of thanking us
except by being friendly.
Which, after all. is a pretty
good way.

GEORGETOWN.

OEOESIE 4OWN ~.
"Dear Sir:
'Please let me know some
time how can ensure robins
hanging around my place.
I'VE have plenty of birds
over here. especially cardinals
and jays, but sometimes a
lack Of robins. and this I
hate, because they are my
favorites.
''Is there anything I can
do in the way Of putting up a
robin house. and how do you
go about making one?
"Are there any particular
foods I can use as lures?
what, may I ask, is the
general psychology of ham
ding robins, so that they like
to hang around your yard?
IF you can answer these
questions, they will be a great
benefit to me, because some
how there is something about
the robins that appeals to my
heart.
"Other birds I like, but the
robins I love.
Sincerely. Margaret j. D."
y \ \
This plea for robins will
strike a sympathetic note
with many.
Fortunately. almost every
neighborhood has its robins.
After they fly in from the
south, the bands Of several
hundred birds split up and
fan out over the city and
suburbs.
So almost every yard has
its robins.
Just how one can be sure Of
attracting more than a pair
is not known. All one can do
is try.
The first thing is to keep
the garden free from too
much confusion. Not that
these birds are finicky or
timid, in any sense. Some of
them love to follow along be-
hind the lawn mower, to pick
up stray insects stirred up by
the cutting.
We refer, Of course. to the
old-fashioned hand mower.
We are not at all sure any
bird cares for the modern mo-
tor monsters with their inces-
SAINT noise and fumes.

A robin house is really a
robin shelf.
This consists Of a small
platform, with slightly raised
edges, with a back. and a roof
supported by two uprights at
the front.
A true shelf appeals to
these birds at nesting time.
The bird does not like to
be hemmed in by a house
as other species do.
It prefers to have an easy
"out" both in front and on
both sides.
II this specification is met.
some mother robin may Sc
lect the site.
The shelf is best placed
about is feet high in a tree.
maybe at a place where two
large branches jut out.
To place a robin shelf.
however. is one thing; TO get
1t occupied, is another.
One should not be disap-
pointed If no robins come.
They have their own ways Of
looking at life and no human
knows exactly what their
standards are.
For instance. a shelf may
suit them perfectly, but they
will not like the looks Of
old Tabby, the cat. ambling
across the yard.
That Tabby never caught
. bird in her life makes no
