VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Geneticists Learn More About Bees
By THOMAS R. HENRI

tionally good subjects for
genetic studies because of the
purity Of family lines, espe-
clally since the technique Of
artificial dissemination has
become perfected and is wide
ly used.
DR.. Rothenbuhler and his
associates found that clean
ING. the hive involved two
distinct acts-removing the
top of the cell enclosing the
dead larvae and then remov-
ing the body. Sometimes, it
appeared, both were done by
the same workers and some
times each was the job Of
apparent specialists"
Findings Of Experiments
BY a complex series Of arti-
fetal dissemination expert
ments with known heredi-
tary stocks it was found that
the two acts were separately
inherited. They were able to
produce broods which, when
experimentally infected with
foul brood, left all the dead
larvae in place. In other
broods there was only the
act of removing the cell
caps. The larvae were left in
place, even worse sources Of
infection than If the cells had
remained closed. In others
distinct groups removed the
dead larvae. In others both
acts were performed at once
by the same workers. The
findings reported by DR..
Rothenbuhler to the geneti-
ciSts were that hive cleaning
depended entirely on two
"genes" in the brood mother.
One determined opening the
cell, the other removing the
dead.
In nature both units would
be passed on to the same
individuals. With artificial
dissemination they can be
mixed up in several ways.
The two instincts in COM
bination apparently have
preserved the honeybee race
from extinction for thou
sands of generations.

The Mats Hold Base

Calvin Grifhth'S decision to keep his
baseball club in Washington for at least
another season is welcome news, even to
the most vocal critics of the last-place
team. The Mats belong here, for better
or for worse. And there is good reason
to hope that things will be better when
the club can, If 1t will, offer the fans
the improved seating and parking facili-
ties of new municipal stadium. OF
course, an improved brand of baseball
would remove all doubts which Mr..
Griffith may have about the financial
success of such move.
That Mr. Griffith found 1t difficult
to make up his mind about the invita-
ton from Minneapolis to transfer to that
city is understandable. The Midwestern
city had made very attractive offer,
including guaranteed admissions for the
first three years, new stadium and
lucrative concession inducements That
outlook was in contrast to what the Mats
president regarded as a gamble here
with respect to attendance and stadium
terms There were other matters to
consider, however, such as pending law
suits and the problem of getting league
approval for the move.
The immediate effect of the decision
is to assure another season Of big league
baseball at Griffith Stadium Also as
Sured, in the meantime, are negotiations
looking toward long-term contract for
occupancy of the new stadium by the
Washington club when the big bowl is
completed, perhaps in 1861 Mr.. Griff1th
has made it plain that he will enter the
negotiations with little enthusiasm. But
the Armory board which will control the
stadium is not discouraged over the
prospects of reaching a satisfactory
agreement. The board has indicated it
will make every reasonable effort to
meet Mr.. Griff1th's terms. We are sure
that mutually satisfactory agreement
would benefit both the stadium and the
club-not to mention the thousands Of
fans who have stuck by the team for
so many years, through thick and thin.

Defeotist Attitude?

Why is 1t that so many
Associated Press reporters
and news analysts keep plying
our people with written mat
ter calculated to make them
accept the eventual domina-
ton of Formosa and other
nearby areas by Red China?
The seemingly answering
determination Of these writ
ers is to undermine our will
to resistance of present and
future encroachments of
communism by preaching its
inevitability. For example
under the heading, "China
Believed Preserving Russia"
william L. Ryan writes:
I'm the long run, United
States policy probably will
be unable to save Formosa
from being taken over by the
Red Chinese. The political
task becomes more difficult
each day, and even Peiping
itself seems to have reflected
an awareness that Formosa
will some day fall to the
mainland Chinese without
military force or the risk of
war"
I have never read or heard
more persuasive arguments
used to make the half hearted,
or already misled, among US
seize upon it as an excuse to
abandon Chaing Kai-shek
and the residue of the free
Chinese-as we abandoned
the great mass of the Chinese
people at the end of World
War II. 1t is a subversive
argument and will come true
only If successful in under
mining and demoralizing the
will of Americans and others
to win over communism.

This Is the Army?

WlIn reference 10 your
editorial on Our Military
Strength" one thing is GER
tain: That our Army and
Marines, if they fight in the
near future, will have OBJ
solescent conventional arms
and Mr.. McElroy should GER
tainly be aware of the fact.
Our heavy machine gun is
a 1917 model and fires a 1906
cartridge. Our Brown in g
automatic rife was hurriedly
designed during World War I
for a specific purpose which
no longer exists. Our MI
rifle was standardized 20
years ago, but its basic design
is several years older We
have a fair carbine of the
same age. Our grenades are
essentially those hurriedly
designed in 1917.
Our heavy 4.2-inch mortar
is 80 years old and fires a type
of projectile which was stand
ard during the Civil War. Our
artillery is of the caliberS and
type recommended in 1919.
Our much touted atomic
cannon" is essentially a piece
of World War ! railway artil-
lery, but mounted on truck
type wheels. Its mobility OF
good roads is negligible.
Our tanks have consistently
Jagged behind the Russian
and the German in gun
power and croSs-country
mobility. They still burn gaso-
line, although the desirability
of using diesel fuel was eStab-
lished in 1920. Worst of all,
if nuclear weapons are used,
too much of our combat
transport lacks cross-country
mobility. Much of it begged
down for days during the
Louisiana maneuvers of 1856.
A vehicle to replace the mule
was recommended as a neces-
sity in 1919 and a prototype
vehicle whipped the mule in
every test in 1921. Nothing
has been done about it since,
even though in Korea it was
necessary to use thousands OF
men to carry up supplies and
ammunition on their backs.
BY contrast the Russians APP
pear to be putting all combat
transport on caterpillar tracks
so that they may move across
country in a dispersed forma-
ton that will not present any
worthwhile nuclear target.
The Marines are somewhat
better of than the Army in
that they have inherent close
air support, trained to work
with the ground troops. Our
Air Force ever since World
War I has consistently OPP
posed either training and
equipping for such support
itself or letting the Army
have its own close air support.

Heortening Gesture

A dispatch from Warsaw.
Poland. recently told of a
movement by leading Euro
pean citizens to build a mon
ument Ito the millions who
died in the Nazi extermina-
ton camp at Auschwitz" dur
ing World War II.
1t is indeed noble of those
men and women to remember
the victims of Nazi barbar-
ity. But it would be nobler
still to think also of the un-
told millions of men, women
and children destroyed by
the Soviet regime since 1917
only because they refused to
worship the atheistic Com
munist gangsters. They
fought not only for their
benefit but for ours as well,
even though relatively few
Of our people appreciate 1t.
Americans would do well to
launch a worldwide cam
paign to erect monuments to
the millions of victims of
Stains collectivization drive,
to the minority nationalities
uprooted and destroyed in
the Siberian wastes, to the
Esthonians, Latvians and
Lithuanians murdered in
their once independent
homelands and others de-
stroyed in slave labor camps.
to the hundreds of thousands
of Russian and Polish Jews
exterminated because of their
will to be free, and the tens
of thousands of Christian
clergymen put to death. To
build these monuments in
many parts of the United
States and other countries
would be a reminder to the
living in the free world Of
what Khrushchev means by
I'VE will bury you" and,
more important, it would in
spire the 80 per cent of the
Soviet anti Communist popu-
lation to feel that the Amer
lean people are with them in
the struggle with their OPP
pressors even though our
Government has chosen to
remain diplomatic bedfellows
with our common enemy.
Such action on our part
would hearten the fighters
for freedom behind the Iron
Curtain to continue the
struggle with the Soviet re-
gime until victory is won.

Inherited sanitary engi-
neering instincts of some
bees. one of natures most
remarkable phenomena. have
been found by Iowa State
College biologists.
Dreaded by bee keepers is
the highly infectious dis
ease, foul brood. It kills
larvae. Apparently all honey
bees are susceptible.
Now in some broods, DR..
w. C. Rothenbuhler Of the
Iowa faculty has reported to
an international congress Of
geneticists in Montreal. the
disease is stopped almost at
the outset. In other broods 1t
becomes a wildf1re epidemic
and the entire community
perishes In the end.
Infection Sources Ousted
In the supposedly less sus-
ceptible broods, the Iowa
entomologist found. as soon
as an infection occurs. it is
wise to start at once to
remove all the dead larvae
from the cells in which they
are enclosed and throw the
the corpses out of the hive.
That is. all sources of infec-
ton are eliminated as soon
as they appear.
In the other broods no
effort is made to clean the
hive. The dead are left as
infection sources until the
brood is eliminated.
A natural-although per-
haps naive - suspicion was
that in certain bee families,
all descendants of a single
queen. a sanitary instinct was
Unborn due to certain genes, "
or units of heredity. in the
queen. 1t is, however. very
risky to postulate inherited
behavior. Unborn dispositions,
abilities, etc., often are at
tributed to animals and races
of humans purely on the
basis of naive observation
without considering the pro-
found effects of environ
ment and training.
Bees, however, are excep-

issues, far from trivial. We regret that
the school board and the superintend-
ent did not take the opportunity, after
thinking the matter over calmly and
considering its larger implications, OF
correcting what they may be forced later
on to realize was very foolish mistake.

United States Policy

From Dean Acheson's Sep
TENDER 6 statement. 1t APP
pears that he thinks Secre-
tary Dulles should invite a
Communist attack on For
mosa as Acheson did on
Korea in 1850 by declaring
it outside of our realm of
defense. I am thankful that
Secretary Dulles will not
make such a foolish mistake.
No one wants war. but
neither do we want to see
communism absorb more and
more of the free world. If
we permit the Communists to
conquer FormoSa without re-
sistance, they probably will
wind up by taking over all
of Asia. Our own defense
would then be even more
difficult. If President Truman
in 1948 and 1914 had given
more assistance to President
Chang Kai-shek, the main
land of China might still be
part of the free world. If
Acheson had not declared
Korea to be outside Of our
defense line, we probably
would not have had the
Korean war. We are fortunate
that President Eisenhower
and Secretary Dulles are not
making similar mistakes.
The American people have
paid and are still paying a
terrible price for the mistake
they made in re-electing
Truman to the presidency in
1913. President Eisenhower
is doing all he can to correct
the mistakes of the Truman
administration, but he is
handicapped by the failure of
the American people to give
him the support of a Repub-
lican Congress. That error
will be another costly one to
all of US. w. b. Penn.

A
D Please incoe = cents for return

@. Please give some infor-
nation on Ed Dodd. who
draws the Mark Trail" comic
strip. T. Y.
A. Edward (Ed) Benton
Dodd was born in Lafayette,
Ga, November 7, 1902. He
grew up in Gainesville, Ga,
where his father was a Bap-
fist preacher. His interest in
animals started in boyhood,
and he has liked, hunted
and fished all over the United
States and in Europe. He at
tended Georgia Institute Of
Technology for two years, in
tending to become an archi-
tect, and studied at the Art
Students League in New York
City. His occupations have
included camp direction,
guide, forest-service employe,
operation of a Wyoming dude
ranch and general woodsman
as well as commercial art.
@. What is pigment print
ing" in connection with fab
RIGS? r. c.
A. Pigment printing is a
method of putting color on a
fabric by roller printing or
direct printing, using finely
ground, insoluble pigment in
stead Of dye. The process is
also called emulsion print
ing, since the pigment is
dispersed in an emulsion of
water and oil along with the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-09-12

resin which is to bind the
color to the fabric. Con-
trolled heat is necessary in
the printing, as the resin
used is of the thermoset-
ting type.
@. What was the Long
March" made by Chinese
CommuniSts?-S. L.
A. Following the rupture
between the Chinese Com
munist and Nationalist forces
in 1927, a small rebellious
section of the army declared
themselves for the Com
munists and fortified them
selves in the mountains in
and around Kiangsi Province,
resisting all Chang Kali
shek's efforts to defeat them.
But in 1934-35 the pressure
became too great, and in a
mass migration they fought
their way over 5000 miles to
a new headquarters in North
west China. Only $4,000 of
the 100000 who started the
Long March survived the IS
major battles and 300
skirmishes on the 368-day
trek.
@. How often is the Gold
en- Gate Bridge in San Fran
cisco painted?-L. L.
A. Painting is continuous,
rather than periodical. Paint
ers work on this bridge the
year round.
