Abandoned Pets

The Washington Animal
Rescue League urges the
public to be more thoughtful
OF helpless animals during
these summer months.
It is a shocking fact that
many people simply abandon
their pets when vacation time
rolls around. This is a heart
less practice that almost
invariably results in suffer-
ing for the animal. The mis-
cries Of thirst, starvation,
and injury are so unneces-
sary and can be completely
prevented. Such was the pur-
pose in the establishment Of
our shelter.
Our organization. located
at II o street NV, is ready
at all times to receive lost,
unwanted. or injured ami
mails. Last year we cared for
26,969-the number increases
each year. There is no charge
for this service. and we will
send for those animals that
cannot be brought to US.

A ThouqhtIess BIunder

Congress seldom has acted with so
little Justification as in its ill-conSidered
sabotage OF the long planned George
Washington Memorial parkway in Prince
Georges County.
Involved here was request for 81
million-half of which would be repaid
by the State of Maryland-to preserve
nearly eight miles, of Potomac River
waterfront for recreational and parkway
development. The stretch of land lies
north of historic Fort Washington, di-
rectly opposite the lovely Mount Vernon
Memorial parkway, and could well bring
to the Maryland side of the river the
same priceless values of beauty. Acqui-
sition of the narrow strip of river 'front.'
age has been authorized by Congress
since 1880, and the emergency money
request was made this year because
private development is threatening to
greatly increase its costs. The effect
Of Congress rejection is nothing less
than to take the erroneous position that
the profits of few private property
owners outweigh the tremendous public
good which could accrue to the entire
National Capital area.
Planning officials, UNDERSTANDABLE
disheartened, have said the action may
have doomed the parkway for all time
We hope this is not so. Next year, even
If costs of acquiring the land have
been increased, the Planning Commits
sion should press for reconsideration
Congress action certainly has lesSened
the prospects. But the stakes, in terms
of future welfare, simply are too great
to be surrendered to this incorporate
setback.

cause of differences in the
respective economic positions
Of various school jurisdic-
tons?
And is it not impossible,
when large groups of low-in-
come citizens tend to invade
one school jurisdiction, for
that jurisdiction to have
equal" school facilities with
another jurisdiction, in the
same country and under the
same Supreme Court edict,
not so invaded?
Therefore, as I see it, people
may have their rights and
still not enjoy equality, of
schools or other facilities, I'M
less they can pay the price.
And all Of the laws on paper
cannot change that.
And the answer, as / see
it, Is that we must have A.
nancing on the Federal level,
Just as we have government
at the Federal level, if the
edict Of equal rights is to
mean equal schools.
Economist.
At Little Rock, the Presi-
dent of the United States
sent Federal troops with
barred bayonets to override
the Arkansas government
and to intimidate the people
of that great State. In Vir-
ginia, at Charlottesville, a
Federal judge has threatened
to brush aside the Constitu-
ton and laws of that great
State and to arrogate unto
himself the administration Of
the public schools of that
city. All this in the name of
the United States Supreme
Court and its unprecedented
and unwarranted edict re-
quiring the amalgamation of
the white and Negro races
contrary to the will of the
people.
Until now, most people had
taken it for granted that the
powers not specifically dele
gated to the United States
by the Federal Constitution,
nor prohibited by it to the
States, were reserved to the
people who are the citizens
of the States. Alas, in the
face Of the Federal courts,
the governments of the States
have become impotent and
the people powerless.

Surrender Study

In getting the Pentagon to
study plans for the surrender
of the United States in event
of an atomic war, the lib
eral-leftist cabal has scored
a major victory in behalf Of
Soviet Russia in its cold war
against this Nation.
Even President Eisenhower,
of liberal tendencies him
self, is described as irate.
Congress is shocked, loyal
Americans stunned, for their
forefathers fought to the
death for liberty.
Anybody familiar at all
with psychological or cold
war" tactics knows the ulti-
mate objective is to force
the capitulation Of ones ad-
versary without having to
fire a shot-or drop an atom
bomb.
Hence, to get the Pentagon
to even think Of or consider
surrender is in itself a tre-
mendous victory for Russia,
the other atomic power. 1t
is the big pay-of of all pro-
Soviet propaganda so eagerly
gobbled UP by our press, ra-
dio and television. And the
study" will be played up in
their papers throughout the
Communist world, gravely
damaging the prestige of the
United States.
What everybody is asking
is: Who in the Pentagon
ordered this study? Who
started this attempt to "con-
dition the American mind to
the thought Of surrender?
Who gave this aid and COM
fort to the potential enemy?
In war times people have
been shot for just that, as
this officer well knows. And
moreover, will they be al
lowed to get away with it
under the cloak of bureau
cratic protection?
No wonder Senator Rus
sell and others are angry.
How did the Air Force get
sucked into this propaganda
act? What do Secretaries
McElroy and Quarles-par-
ticularly Quarles - know
about it? These are burning
questions that your readers,
and particularly the armed
forces, who know the penalty
for giving aid and comfort
to the enemy, would like to
know.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.
Forgettinr names is one n

Forgetting names is one of
the first signs of growing old.
The terrible part of 1t
comes when you forget the
name of someone you have
worked with for years.
There he stands, by the
water cooler, and you can't,
for the life of you, recall a
single letter of his last name.
"Mc-Mc-"
You know it is McSome-
thing, but that is all.
If you had never seen him
before you could not remem-
Der his name less.
Wildly you try to think,
and that is where you make
your second mistake.
Thinking won't do 1t. The
harder you try to recall the
name. the more it eludes you.
Hours later, when you are
thinking about something
else, the name pops back into
your mind.
why, McCabe, for sure"
you say, delighted with your
self.
One hopes that McCabe
and others whose names are
forgotten, temporarily, will
understand that this is some
thing wholly outside volition.
Something happens to tiny
brain cells, or blood vessels.
The explanation Is long and
detailed, and interests only
doctors.
The thing the layman can
get out Of the discussion is
that nothing really serious
has happened.
1t is Just a sign that the
peak of physical life has
been reached, and from now
on you are on the side of the
hill going down.
There is no need to search
the mind to try to see If some
repression or other is at work.
. The fact that a certain
name is lost. for the time
being, means nothing what
ever against that person.
Why, we once knew a very
old man who sat in his own
living room coming the big
telephone book.
In this neighborhood It
was a custom for people to
open the door and walk in
without ringing the bell.
Not a good idea, really.)

the woman who walked in

A possible effect Of the fire

The most isolated land on
earth has been visited by q
South African International
Geophysical Year expedition.
1t Is Bouvetoya Island,
1900 miles southwest Of Cape
town in the sub-Antarctic, at
approximately south latitude
54-a single volcanic cone
projecting out Of a stormy sea
hundreds Of miles from any
other DOT Of land in any d.
rection. Possession Of the
desolate spot was taken 80
years ago by Norway and q
small hut was put UP for
possible shelter for ship
wrecked sailors. Norway also
claims the Queen Maud coast
Of the Antarctic continent,
several hundred miles to the
south.
So far as known, according
to a report in the journal Of
the Scott Polar Research In
stitute Of Cambridge Univer-
sity. no human being has been
on Bouvetoya since 1927. The
South African expedition was
to examine possibilities of es-
tablishing a weather station
there in connection with the
ICY program. The little
island would be an ideal lo-
cation in many ways for OBJ
servation of storms sweeping
northward out Of the Ant
arctic. But after an extern
sive survey the South African
meteorologists abandoned the
project. The place was too
lonely and desolate to ask
human beings to stay there.
No Place for Base
Nearest neighbors Of Bou-
vetoya are the French-owned
Kerguelen and Croset islands
also isolated and uninhabited.
There was just no place,
the meteorologists reported,
where an adequate base could
be set UP. The slopes Of the
island rise abruptly to q wide
crater with two peaks on OBJ
posite sides. The largest, on
the northeast, is more than
5000 feet high. The ice
covered slopes are almost UNI
scalable. They drop almost
vertically into the stormy
sea.
The most isolated land on
earth is lifelesS except for the
ubiquitous algae and probably
some migrating birds at some
seasons.

Our Changing World

One point that seems to
be overlooked by domestic
and foreign students of Latin
America is that that region
will become in the near fu-
ture q united state, one ma
ton. To consider the problems
that affect that region in any
other light is tantamount to
political myopia. And the
first world power that rec
ognizeS such an event will
be much ahead of its rivals,
thus laying the foundations
to future alignments.
So far the main spiritual
problem of Latin America
has been that of ignoring it
self. Now there is a self-con-
scious realization of what
that body Of land and people
represent in the world and to
itself. The GENERALIZATION is
that, divorced from one an
other, the countries that
make the region, are nothing
but economic, political and
diplomatic satellites, but that
united they will become a
power on earth, self-reliant
and with a voice of their
own, and with opinions of
their own.
A strong, united Latin
America can give to its in
habitants the conditions
upon which q modern econ
omy can be based; divided,
even the most prosperous
ones lack a multitude of re-
sources that will never make
Of them a member of the
highest standard Of living
club"
Statements to the con-
trary by the outstretched-
hand school that believes the
cure-all is loans and grants
from the United States,
there is a profound convic-
ton among Latin American
youth that it is basically up
to us Latin Americans to
solve our economic problems.
This is something that will
have to come from within,
by pulling ourselves up by
our own bootStrapS.
An important segment of
opinion in Latin America
knows that we cannot get
anywhere, no matter how
many billions Of dollars
come from abroad, unless we
first put our house in order.
We must overhaul the social
conditions that prevail in the
region. These conditions can
not survive, on the other
hand, unless medieval eco
nomic tenets prevail. You can
not have a modern economy
run on such basis. You have
for instance 80 million Latin
Americans receiving only 8
per cent of the national gross
product.
Failure to understand this
will inevitably breed a series
Of wrong conclusions and pol
icies inimical to the interest
Of the people Of Latin Amer
lea and the country that
sustainS them. It will lead to
confusing q desire for better
ment with communism, and
the defense of colonialiSm
and serfdom, with the defense
Of enlightened capitalism or
the West. Moreover, it will
push many well-meaning and
patriotic Latin Americans to
extreme positions.
What has been said here is
Of vital Importance to the
United States for obvious
reasons. It would be a master
stroke on the part of the
United States leaders and
United States policymakers if
they display the vision neces-
sary to comprehend this:
Latin America will unite and
will become q great world
power within q matter Of
years.

Venom Of the fire ant,
which lately has invaded
the Southern States in vast
hordes. is something new in
nature.
This has been reported to
the American Association for
Advancement Of Science here
by chemists Of Louisiana
State University.
Venom is injected by stings
of numerous insects, but in
no other case does 1t chem
ically resemble the poison Of
the invader, they found, after
partial analysis. Not only
is the venom painful and
poisonous, they report, but it
also is a potent insecticide
and antibiotic which even
ually may even have some
medical value.
The substance, reports DR..
Murray S. Blum and his
associates, has been found
highly toxic for various in
sects, including the fruit fly,
the housefly, at least one
species Of termite, the boil
weevil and the rice weevil.
Two species of mites also
succumbed to it and the effect
may be general throughout
the insect kingdom. Even the
fire ant itself is slightly sus-
ceptible to its own poison.
Toxic to Fruit Fly
Several kinds of disease
causing heterogeneous are
inhibited by a solution of one
part of fire ant venom in so
parts of water. These in
clude several varieties Of
streptococci and staphlycocci
and several molds. This
probably explains why pus-
tules appearing at the site of
a sting are quite antiseptic
and probably not susceptible
to infection. A thorough
study Of the antibiotic prop
critics now is being made.
The venom has been found
to be at least as toxic as DOT
to the fruit fly. It produces
instantaneous paralysis,
highly suggestive Of a nerve
poison. The Louisiana chem
lists believe they may have
found the toxic principle in
the venom.
1t is quite similar to a
Tactic acid derivative, rido-
myrmecin, which has been
found by other chemists in
several higher species of ants
which do not sting. Irido-
myrmecin also has been shown
to be poisonous to other in
sects but produces quite diff
ferent symptoms from the
fire ant venom. Death is pre-

First graders can do some
things better than they can do
others. They can learn to walk
to music, for instance; and they
can cut paper with blunt scis-
sors, under supervision, and
they love to color things.
All these skills are now being
developed by the first grade
students in Mrs. Goldie 10th S
room at Rozelle School. First
they learned the song, THE
Bear Went Over the Mountain" "
Then they decided to make a
picture of it. On a large bulletin
board they have not one. but
six or eight brown paper bears
going over big green noun
tain, with green trees on its
slope and bright blue sky
above it.
They are learning other songs
now, and march around the
room while the songs are be-
ing played on a photograph.
The other first grade at
Rozelle. taught by Mrs. Edna
ennedy, is demonstrating
another skill that siX-year-olds
possess and love TO practice.
Unimaginative persons might
call it messing around" but it
is really finger painting. Really
striking designs and color COM
binations are being used these
days to make finger paintings,
and many Of the results are
quite pleasing to the eye. The
pictures made by Mrs. Ken
nedy's first graders feature
flower designs, and are often
quite elaborate and symmetrical.
