Time measurements In mil

are being made by Atomic
Energy Commission scientists
In their pursuit Of highly
elusive fusion energy.
Such delicate measure
ments are necessary because
the energy OF subatomic
particles varies directly with
their velocity. Thus velocity
is an indirect measure Of
energy. The instruments for
these measurements are es-
sentially new. They determine
velocity by producing the
noncharged subatomic par
ticles, neutrons, in patches
and measuring the elapsed
time for a given bath to travel
q known distance Of from 3
to 20 feet. Times measured
with great precision range
from two ten-millionths of
a second TO such a long pc
rod as a millionth.

Weapon for Peace

Of perfection, the Soviet American
agreement on exchanges constitutes, In
its own words, "a significant first step
in the improvement OF mutual under
standing" between our own country and
the USSR. It does not mean. Of course,
that the Iron Curtain is now about to
fall apart, but II holds out good prom
Use OF some progress in that direction.
And II both sides abide by 1t, II they
sincerely strive to make 1t work and
expand on 1t, 1t can do much to ease
international tension and generate a
climate conducive to decent peace.
In any event. to that end, the agree
ment commits the United States and the
Soviet Union to far-reaching program
OF friendly intermingling and co-opera-
ton In many fields Of endeavor. Our
two countries are to engage, among
other things. In systematic scheduling
of sports competition; they are to ex-
change industrial, agricultural. medical
and scientific delegations; they are to
arrange for reciprocal visits by their
dancing, musical and similar artistic
groups; they are to send to each other
young students and educational leaders;
they are to increase the interfiow of
tourists between them: they are to coll
laborate In a rather elaborate project
involving their motion pictures; and
they are to carry out plan for regu-
larry exchanging certain Of their radio
and television broadcasts. with veto
to apply TO any such broadcasts deemed
undesirable by either party.
This Is but Sketchy summary of
the new accord. which includes also
acceptance ''in principle" Of the idea
Of arranging for regularly scheduled
commercial air flights by Russia's and
our own planes between such places as
New York and Moscow. Quite obviously,
looked at even in mere outline, 1t is
not the best Of all possible understand
ings. 1t does nothing. for instance,
about putting an end to the Kremlin's
jamming Of the Voice OF America, and
its veto provision regarding radio and
TV broadcasts amounts to loophole big
enough to enable the Soviet leaders to
crash through with objections that
could rule out any effective political
address or appeal by any Of our leaders
seeking to reach mass audience in the
USSR. To that extent, therefore, the
agreement-the first formally signed by
Moscow and Washington since the Aus
TRAN treaty Of ls55-is vulnerable TO
attack by skeptics and cynicS.
With that said, however, the fact
remains that Americans and Russians
alike have reason to welcome this po-
tentially important meeting Of minds.
After all. as Chairman Green Of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee has
declared, The future Of mankind may
depend upon the outcome of a contest
between the development Of instruments
OF war on one hand. and the develop
ment Of understanding and friendship
on the other" Certainly, even though
1t cannot of itself usher In an era Of
sweetness and light, the new agreement,
II lived up to. can help to reduce the
mutual distrust now poisoning the inter-
national atmosphere, and In that sense
1t deserves to be hailed as good peace
weapon.

Public Instruction Dept.
Reorganization
Given Boost By
Peabody Report

Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton Harriet Miller credited the Pea
body Report with giving substantial
boost to plans for complete reorgan-
ization of the structure of the De-
partment of Public Instruction.
"It has been evident for some time
that legislative action permitting de-
partment reorganization is essential"
Miss Miller said.
Speaking at an open meeting of
the American Association of Univer-
sity Women, the state superintendent
stated, "In response to pleas for more
school services, the Legislature with
the best intentions has, over period
of time, created one division after
another within the Department of
Public instruction without ever hav-
ing had the benefit of an overall plan
for efficient operation. AS matter
of legal fact, no Department of Pub
lie Instruction has ever been created
just the office of superintendent.
During the last year, we have
analyzed thoroughly the operation
of the department, which now has
staff of 70 people. A plan for re-
organization has been carefully de-
veloped, but legislation is needed be-
fore the plan can go into effect. The
1859 Legislature will be offered a re-
organization proposal for its consid-
Grafton.
"The Peabody study, with its pene-
trating appraisal of the present un-
wieldy organization of education serv-
ices at the state level, should be a
valuable asset to our proposed legis-
lation, since the study presents the
viewpoint of an objective, profess
sional survey team," Miss Miller said.
The Peabody group, whose report
was just issued, was employed by the
Montana Observation-Disclosures Com
mission and the Montana Legislative
Council to study Montana schools.

to require that purchasers sign for
purchase of all firearms and ammuni-
