to the extent Of making inyestigatory
faces outside telephone booth. And
what could possibly have been inter-

five hours? Oh, well, as they told the
court, they had ever so many fascinating
things to chat about, including partic-
ularly one Of their most favorite SUBJ

Mild Billboard Bill

Senator Neuberger OF oregon, CO.
sponsor with Senator Kuchel of Califor-
mia Of antibillboard legislation, correctly
described the Senate approved billboard
measure as very mild-perhapS too
mild" However, there was strenuous
laSt-ditch opposition from the billboard
industry even to a weakened control
plan, and this indicates that the mild
bill still may have appreciable effect as .
safeguard against roadside DETACHMENT.
The Senate measure actually is an
amendment to the pending interstate
highway speedup bill. It would offer a
bonus" Of one-half Of per cent in
Federal highway funds to any State
which places certain restrictions on sign
boards along the l1,00o-mile interstate
road network. The Federal Government
win pay 80 per- cent Of the cost Of these
highways. The standards for permits
sible billboards would be set by the Sec
rotary OF Commerce, but the action to
ban signs not conforming to the ma
tional standards would be taken by the
States. There would be no compulsion
on any State-orly monetary incen-
tive to adopt reasonable restrictions.
Thus, despite claims to the contrary, no
invasion Of States rights by the Federal
Government would be involved.
The original measure urged by Sen
ators Neuberger and Kuchel was directed
at all commercial billboardS on the new
highways As approved by the Senate,
however, signs Of less than 500 square
inches would be permitted within IL
miles Of interchaAges, along with State,
county and municipal directional and
other traffic signs. And billboards al
ready on present roads which may be
taken into the interstate system would
not be molested.
Senator Long succinctly summed up
the legislation when he told the Senate:
"All this billboard amendment means to
me is that II highway is going to be
built for a million dollars, the Federal
Government will put up 100000 and
say to the States: In addition to the
100000 we will give you an extra $4,000
II you try to keep the highway beauti-
full The State can either take the
extra $4,000 or permit $4,000 worth of
signs to be constructed on the highway.
which may make 1t so ugly that nobody
will want to drive on 1t except by neces-
sity." The issue is as simple as that.
We hope the House, which now must APP
prove the amendment to make it effec-
tive, will brush aside fallacious States
rights and other arguments of the
opponents and base its decision on the
real issue-protection Of the new ex-
preSsways against unsightly DETACHMENT
such as has befallen many Of the Ma
tons main highways.

Our Tests and the KrenlIin

In formally protesting against the
coming series Of American nuclear tests
in the Pacific, the Kremlin has resorted
to palpably phoriy arguments seasoned
with q heavy sprinkling Of hypocrisy.
The hypocrisy is particularly marked in
view Of the fact that the Soviet Union.
itself has set of nearly dozen such
detonations (some Of them In the mega
ton range) during the past four or five
weeks.
It need hardly be added, of course,
that this latest of Moscow's propaganda
Inaneuvers Is designed to stir up anti
American sentiment around the world
particularly in Ashland the State De-
partment has answered 1t accordingly.
Thus, for one thing, there is no validity
in the Soviet contention that the pro-
jected Eniwetok experiments constitute
a violation Of the obligations assumed
by our country as United Nations trustee
over the Marshall Islands. The record
of the Security Councils past action on
the matter leaves no room for doubt on
that score, and the same holds true for
the charge that our Government, by
C1OcAAAS VA GIL urea Va OA1C
Pacific for safety purposes, is doing vio-
lence to the principle Of freedom of the
seas. Similarly, the Kremlin, while con-
veniently making no mention of its own
recent nuclear and thermometer ex-
plosionS, has given voice to gross and
deliberate distortion in asserting that
our coming Notwithstanding some
with drastically reduced radioactive fall
out-will seriously endanger the life and
health of people living far beyond the
testing site.
This sort of Soviet mendacity is so
transparent that It can be readily re-
futed, and few intelligent people in Asia
are likely to be hoodwinked by 1t. Much
the same thing goes for Foreign Minis
ter Gron1yko's announcement that Rus
STA is ready to suspend tests, reserving
the right to resume them unless other
countries do likewise. This, of course,
merits careful examination. But the
world viii want to know what the
Kremlin is prepared to do with respect
to setting up an inspection system to
assure compliance. without such sys-
TEN, no suspension or ban could be
genuinely trustworthy.

Telephone Story

At railway station in a Philadel-
phia suburb the other night, lady en-
tered telephone booth, dialed a number
and began to talk. This happened at
about 1880 pm. A few hours later she
was still there and still talking. In fact,
she did not hang up until $3.50 am. In
the meantime, his curiosity piqued, q
conscientious policeman looked in on
her twice with inquiring and somewhat
startled eyes. But she did not appre.
ciate what she plainly regarded as his

her eyes flashing with Indignation

Better Farm Prices

There Is some solid announcement
for the Nations farm community, and
for supporters Of administration policies,
In the latest price statistics released by
the Department of Agriculture. And 1t
is found In more than one set of figures.
The department reports, firSt, that
farm prices rose per cent in the month
ending March IS, the sharpest MONTH
to-month increase since early 1851. But
while abnormally severe weather con-
ditions and consequent damages to crops
undoubtedly contributed to this partic-
ular lift in prices, these factors do not
explain away" an upward trend Of
longer duration. Last months increase,
for example, was the third in row. And
even more impressive is the fact that
prices over the last IL months show
net increase Of IL per cent. BY contrast,
the farmers costs were up only per
cent in the latest month and only 3 per
cent for the year.
For the Nations consumers, of
course, these price increases play their
part In pushing up the cost of living
indices. Even so, the magnitude Of the
so-called farm problem and the cost
burden to the country which has re-
suited from the various Government-aid
pfograms-including the rigid high price
support formula-are reasons to well
come q real improvement in the price
picture.
The timing also is fortunate in
another respect President Eisenhower
has now vetoed legislation approved by
House and Senate applying a freeze"
to present price support levels, most of
which Secretary Benson has ordered re-
duced within existing legal limitations.
Strong congressional pressure had been
brought on the White House for presi-
Dental approval of the legislation, al
though Mr.. Eisenhower had described
1t as "l80-degree turn in the wrong
direction" Others, including the Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federation, were
urging a veto. The latest picture on
price movements supports those who
felt the proposed freeze was unneces-
sary and even harmful in the long term
to the farm economy.

The prize plant of all. Mr..
Darrow reports, was collected
in a fairly dry location at
about 1000 feet on the side Of
Volcano Tungurahua, near
Bannon, Ecuador. It also had
~ buds and fruits in a cluster
and had other clusters on the
same plant. It will cross with
a domesticated Ecuadorean
species. 1t is highly likely,
the plant explorer believes.
that its characters can be
incorporated into United
States varieties. Says the
Agriculture report:
These blackberries live
under shorter days at the
Equator than we have in the
spring. Our plant breeders
have been unable to make
previous introductions Of
equatorial blackberries bloom
for crossing.
Cross Breeding Considered
Crossing these species Of
blackberries and Strawberries
with our own may make o
big contribution to our small
fruit industry. Increasing
fruit size would cut har-
vest costa major problem
in fruit production. Increased
disease resistance would be
another dividend. Drought
tolerance and hardness that
made these fruits thrive in
cold, dry mountain climates
could increase the range and
dependability of our fruits.
Firmer strawberries would
ship and store better and
reach consumers with less
waste. We can hope for all
these advantages. and hidden
ones also"
Both blackberries and
Strawberries, it is pointed
out in the report. are found
wild over much Of the United
States and Europe. The cul.
tivated varieties of straw.
berries are largely crosses
between North American and
European wild varieties. but
it has been impossible to
attain anything like an ideal
fruit. The major contribu-
ton has been from the New
World berries which were
picked and used extensively
by several Indian tribes. It
is probable that the straw
berry festivals" held by
many churches especially in
New England during the
season, are Survivals Of Q
widespread Indian custom.

New Judicial Oath

One of the functions of thesSenate
judiciary Committee is to recommend
that the Senate approve or disapprove
nomination to the Federal bench. This
Is an important function, and we sup
pose that the committee has both right
and duty to satisfy itself that any
prospective Judge believes in and will
support the Constitution.
We doubt, however, that this re-
sponSibility is best discharged by requir-
ing nominee to take an oath that he
will abide by the oath which he must
take when he actually dons the judicial
robes.
The committee last week called
upon q nominee to Federal judgeship
In Florida to take such an oath-and
something of teapot tempest has been
the result. In substance, the nominee
was asked to swear that he understands
that the oath he will take upon becon-
ing Judge requires him to respect the
principle Of the separation Of powers,
and in particular the principle that all
legislative powers reside In the Congress.
Paraphrased, he was asked to take an
oath that he will not indulge in judicial
lawmaking when he goes on the bench.
The taking Of this oath, 1t seems
TO US. accomplishes 1nothing-except to
aeitate the committees critics. The
committees purpose could be served just
as well by swearing in the nominee as q
witness and then questioning him as to
his constitutional philosophy. Why not
do It this WaY?

VSTAS IN SCIENCE
BY THOMAS r. HENRY
The Andes Is a Botonist's Paradise

Giant blackberries and
strawberries found growing
wild high in the Andes near
the perpetual snow lines
promise notable improve
ments in American crops of
these fruits.
A large collection Of the
berries has been brought to
Washington by Department
of Agriculture plant explorer
G. M. Darrow. Efforts will
be made to breed their I'M
usual characteristics into do
nestle fruits.
Both wild and domesticated
strawberries were collected in
Chile. Most are forms Of a
species which is one of the
ancestors Of most cultivated
strawberries. The wild forms,
says an Agriculture report, do
not meet American taste
standards. But, in addition
to the largeness Of the ber-
ries. they thrive under very
diverse conditions such as
long, dry seasons. heavy rain
fall. mild coastal tempera-
lures and the rigors Of An
dean climates UP to the
snow line. The fruits ripen
even after heavy frosts.
Seem Disease Resistant
The Chilean Strawberries
appear to be relatively dis
ease-resistant. The fruits
are remarkably f1rm-suffi-
GENTLY so to pick and handle
in bushel baskets. Such pro-
cedure would hopelessly crush
domestic varieties. A big
asset to Gamers is that they
can be capped easily. The
objective will be to incorpo-
rate these qualities into cul-
tivated varieties without sac
rif1cing the flavor.
A promising giant black
berry was collected from a
prolific growth at 10000 feet
on q dry slope of the Andes
near Bogota. The raspberry
shaped fruit was not ripe
when gathered by Mr.. Darrow
but local botanists told him
it would reach a length Of
Q inches and that it has ex-
traordinary drought resist
ance. Another fine blackberry
with slightly larger fruit was
collected near Bogota at an
altitude of 5000 feet. Two
days earlier Mr.. Darrow had
found what may be the same
species at 10000 feet on
Mount Pichincha near Quito,
Ecuador. The specimen had
AZ buds, flowers and fruits
in q single cluster. The fruits
