So Hail, and Farewell

There is a cliche that covers the
death of prominent humans to the effect
that the world is the poorer for their
loss. It's affirmative opposite is that
the rest of mankind is richer for the
life that has ended.
1t is the latter, we think, that
should be used in few words of adieu
to Burton Holmes who enjoyed SO years
of life and made most of those years
enjoyable for so many millions of others.
Many words described Mr.. Holmes
gracious relationship with what con-
temporary of his, George Santayana,
called MY host, the world" He was
a traveller, a lecturer, an explorer. More
than any of these, it seems to us, the
founder Of the travelogue was human
interest journalist. His subject was life
as it is lived in all the places that were
remote before the development of
modern air transport.
This he found fascinating and made
fascinating and we are all the richer
for his having been here-and there.

UPS and Downs

The story about the woman who
didn't like elevators, reported from
Detroit by the Associated Press, should
strike a responsive chord in a lot of
silent sufferers. 1t is easy, for example,
to pick out the many who are slightly
terrified at coping with the air-tight,
Self-operated jobs that induce claustro-
phobia If nothing worse. 1t is easy, too,
to share in the momentarily startled
reaction to movement in the high-Speed
carriers that seem sure to go right on
through the roof in jet-propelled ascent.
And then there is the bravado needed
to travel daily in an open bird-cage type
that clankS and rattles up and down,
never quite making perfect landing
at any floor.
But this Detroit lady, Mrs. Helen
Stedman by name, just wouldn't have
any part of any kind of elevators. 1t
was tough on her, too, because she
works on the eleventh floor of sky
scraper municipal building and for
years has been doing 286 steps up and
down daily. That, in either direction,
is lot of steps. Well, according to
the AP, Mrs. Stedman finally put herself
in the hands of hypnotist. He just
threw her into a trance, explained in
effect that elevators are here to stay
and took her for few trial rides. The
treatment worked and Mrs. Stedman
pronounced herself thrilled but
awfully tired"
Somehow or other, though, 1t is
hard to believe that Mrs. Stedman, how
ever thrilled, could be as tired from
riding as from climbing all those steps.

Hommorsk ioId's Move

There is a good deal Of promise in
the initiative taken by Secretary General
Dag HammarSkjold to bring about a
marked enlargement of the United
Nations Observer Group in Lebanon.
What he has in mind, apparently, is an
increase that would add at least 1000
nNen to the present relatively small force.
Although it has not been specifically
granted to him, Mr.. HammarSkjold is
believed to have ample authority to
carry out this move. At any rate, ac-
cording to international legal experts,
such authority seems to be plainly i'm
plicit in the U. N. Charter, in his broad
powers as Secretary General, and in the
Security Councils June decision to
create a watchdog" organization in
Lebanon-an organization set up in re-
Spouse to charges accusing President
NaSSer'S United Arab Republic Of send
ing arms and men across the Syrian
border in an effort to overthrow the
Glamour government.
Furthermore, 1t is significant that
neither the Soviet Union nor any other
member of the Security Council has yet
challenged Mr.. Hammarskjold's right to
follow this course. AS a matter of fact,
even while killing the constructive
Japanese compromise on Lebanon, the
Kremlin itself has ,nonetheless sup
ported the idea that the U. N Observer
Group should be substantially expanded.
Accordingly, for this and kindred rea-
sons, including possible behind-the-
scenes talks with all the delegations in
volved especially RusSia's, Britain's and
our OWN, there is more than a little
evidence suggesting that the Secretary
General has moved as he has with the
tacit approval Of the Councils full
membership.
If this is so, then the expansion of
the international watchdog" group in
Lebanon may do much to abate the
Middle East crisis Indeed, Ambassador
Lodge, our chief U. N. representative,
has gone so far as to declare that the

Recognizing Iroq

Now that the FIRST shock of revolu-
tionary violence has subsidized, there Is
growing sentiment In Washington for
extending recognition TO the Iraqi gov
eminent headed by Brigadier General
Abdul Karin el-Kassem.
Georgia's influential Senator Russell
has not proposed recognition. He has
said. however, that we ought TO nego-
tiate directly with the revolutionary
regime In Baghdad In an effort to go
to the heart" of the Middle East crisis.
The Georgia Senator thinks we should
try to ascertain the real intentions of
General el-Kassem and his revolution
airy associates.
Senator Aiken, Republican Of YER
mont, has gone further. He says that
sentiment for recognition is building UP
in the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee. Speaking for himself, he thinks
that If the facts are as represented I'VE
should have no heSitancy about recog-
nizing the new government" Some
what similar sentiments have been ex-
pressed by Senators Mansfield and
Sparkman.
No one has come right out and said
so, but what these comments reflect Is
an awareneSS that the United States,
having decided against any attempt at
Intervention in Iraq, must now choose
between coming to terms with the new
government and driving it into the arms
Of Egypt's Colonel Nasser.
The published statements attrib-
uted to General el-KasSem indicate a
lively awareness of the realities of his
situation. Obviously, he will not accept
any Western control, direct or indirect.
He also seems to understand, however,
that If Iraq is to market her oil, she
must do business with the West. And
he has given verbal assurances that he
does not contemplate any revolutionary
wrecking Of the oil industry in his
country.
Just where he stands in relation to
NaSSer is uncertain. There has been
talk of union" with the United Arab
Republic, and General el-KasSem may
yet move in that direction. There is no
evidence, however, that his regime is
Communist-infiltrated or Communist
oriented.
Thus, there is at least a possibility
that General el-KaSSem is concerned
first of all with Iraq and that he would
like to put his country's welfare ahead
of other considerations. If this is the
case, we ought to give very careful con-
Sideration to our own course. Above all,
we should not permit emotions or mis-
conceptions to commit us to a policy
which will needleSsly turn the new Iraqi
regime toward Cairo or Moscow or both.

Concern In Virginia

There are mounting indications
that more and more Virginiaps are be-
ginning to take hard and worried look
at the future of their public school sys-
TEN. And this, we think, Is healthy
thing.
DR.. Davis Y. Paschall, State super
intendent of public instruction, has told
meeting of school superintendent that
preservation of the public school system
is essential to our survival" DR..
Paschall added that "if there ever were
a time when a stand on the public
schools Of Virginia as the keystone of
our future needs to be taken, that time
is now"
This cannot be construed as an at
tack on Virginia's massive resistance"
program. For DR.. Paschall is a State
employe, recently named to his post. He
would hardly have been picked for the
job If he had been an opponent of the
legislative structure erected by the State
in an effort to maintain segregation.
Nevertheless, he Is an educator, and 1t
is evident that he looks with deep mis-
giving on the prospect of closed schools
and disrupted school system.
More significant, perhaps, is a state
ment by william Hill of Charlottesville,
a member of Virginia's House of Dele
gates. Charlottesville is under the inte-
grafton gun, and is faced with the posi-
bility that four of its six white schools
will be closed this fall. In this situation,
Mr.. Hill has called for a relaxation of
the massive resistance program. He
thinks that new approach" is needed
which will be both legally sound and
at the same time preserve our system of
free public education" He has in mind
some kind of local option plan which
would permit community to choose
between massive resistance and "a more
flexible program" Mr.. Hill did not spell
out the flexible program he has in mind,
nor did he say that he would accept
some Indignation. Apparently, however,
he wants something approximating the
assignment plan recommended by the
Gray Commission, and this would have
permitted indignation in communities
willing to accept it.
1t would be foolish to suggest that
these two incidents, in and of them
selves, have preached the massive re-
SiStance wall or even seriously threat
ened 1t. Still, they are signs of the
timeS-SignS which we believe will begin
to multiply as the inevitable showdown
approaches. This will be so because
massive resistance, while it has served
the purpose of delay, cannot possibly
provide an,anSwer to Virginia's dilemma.
Sooner or later, the State will have to
choose between closing its schools and
accepting some indignation.

BottIeneck

The attempt Of the House
Appropriations Committee to
kill the George Washington
Memorial parkway between
the District and Fort WASH
ington on the theory that
local roads now serving the
area are adequate indeed is
incredible. On behalf Of the
residents Of Forest Heights,
Maryland, I should like to
invite the committees atten-
ton to an urgent need for
modernization Of the South
Capitol street-Indian Head
highway access and the need
for supplemental roadways
between the District and sub
urban Southern Maryland.
The South Capitol street.
Indian Head roadway is the
only direct radial link be-
tween downtown Washington
and a huge area lying di-
rectly south between Route 5
and the Potomac River. An
especially critical two-mile
section lies between the
South Capitol street-Nichols
avenue intersection and the
northern extremity of Forest
Heights. This section is so
heavily burdened by local
and through traffic as to con-
Stitute a severe bottleneck
seriously limiting the overall
capacity Of this entire SUBJ
urban artery. Rush-hour
traffic clogs this busy area
for hours while the frequent
addition of theater. race
track and Sunday driver
traffic creates even greater
congestion. The close to 1000
residents of Forest Heights
and the many thousands of
other motorists using South
Capitol street and the Indian
Head highway daily, as well
as the businessmen plying it
commercially. would greatly
benefit from long overdue &C
ton to increase the traffic
capacity of this congeSted
artery and to provide alter
nate routes. particularly one
which also would bring with
it such a much-needed re-
gional park as has been
proposed by the National
Capital Planning Commits
sion.

since, and were essential for
the further progress OF evo-
luton.
Modern mollusks. he says,
probably evolved In rela-
lively shallow water from
some forms OF life quite sim
liar 10 that OF the now "liv-
ing fossil" As the more eff
ficient types developed they
killed OF the older and less
efiicient. These, UP % now,
have been known only from
very ancient fossils.
This particular animal,
however. ran away from COM
petition and sought deeper
and deeper sea bottoms.
Eventually a few specimens
reached depths where there
was almost no competition.
About the only other living
things were much feebler,
one-celled protocol which af-
forded them a food supply.
There they fiourished and
multiplied. Apparently they
now are quite abundant. In
the everlasting darkness they
have not changed from their
original form because there
has been no incentive TO
change.
Feed ON Bacteria
They still feed on bacteria
which are filtered into the
digestive system. They prob
ably rem ain fnotionless
throughout life, but on this
point Drs. Yonge and Lemche
are in some disagreement.
The animals feeding system.
says the latter. requires that
it remain continually on its
back. In any event its feet,
to which the featherlike
breathing organs are at
tached. are altogether too
feeble for creeping over the
bottom. Still. says DR.. Yonge,
since 1t is a deposit feeder
some slight motion must be
essential at some time dur.
ing a lifetime.
OF all the living animals.
the report points out, prob
ably the closest to this crea-
ture is the limpet, a quite
primitive mollusk, world
wide in distribution, which
often is found clinging in
enormous numbers to off,
shore rocks and piers. In
some countries it is used ex-
tensively for fish bait.
Apparently the little mono
placophora is in no danger Of
extinction and well may out
last any higher animal now
on earth. In its dark retreat
1t apparently is almost ex-
empt from the laws of evolu-
ton. It is unlikely that any
other creature of the same
size and efficiency will care
to dispute its domain.

DEAR SIR:
What do you know about
gray and white cats?
I'm our family we have had

but none so intelligent. and
pretty, as this latest.
She is white, really, with
large gray splotches or spots
on her back. and gray on top
Of her head and sides, leaving
her white face to show.
She has the type of face
called cute, and is the clean
est looking animal ! ever saw.

Yours truly, HENRY D. A"
This is the old English
farm cat. famous through the
centuries.

lily has two Of them, favorites

These cats seem to consti-
tute Q strain that has come
down through the centuries
with little deviation in type,
but is not a breed.
Our correspondent has put
his finger on the good
points
Intelligence, appealing face,
and a clean look.
Occasionally one sees a
human being who embodies
these characteristics, especi-
ally the clean look.
Such a person will always
look as II she had Just
stepped out of q bath.
We say she" because
most often the super-clean
looking person is a young
girl.
Many years ago there was
a best-selling novel with a
heroine who took many
baths a day.
This girl had a skin which
radiated cleanliness. and no
wonder. AS we recall. this
real bathing beauty" was
frowned upon by her family
for her multitude Of daily
baths. She was perpetually
hopping in and out Of her
tub.
-
Today bathing is so COM
mon that nobody thinks to
say anything about 1t, much
less write about 1t.
People with this lust
bathed" look are fortunate.

animals, has something Of
