 But the real perils of our budge- tary situation as Congress con venes. were outlined about the same time as the McElroy utter ances, by Chairman Clarence Can non of the House Appropriations committee. who warned, in an in terview with the Associated Press, against bureaucratic efforts to launch "a spending spree" and in- yoke national defense as an excuse.

A LTHOUGH ranch-style architecture has done
"A away with the upstairs along with the
staircase that used to get you there, owners Of
duplex homes and some splt-evel styles still
have the stairwell to contend with. The builder
usually concerns himself just with putting the
staircase up, leaving the homeowner to worry
about the dead space underneath For do-it-
yourselfers, the Stairwell has become challenge.
Depending upon the size of the house and the
needs of the family, the stair space can be made
either decorative or functional.
Many families have put the space to good
use by installing the family washing machine
under the stairs. concealing it behind door
panels. Another solution is to make an inset
for TV set. For those who prefer reading,
the building of recessed bookshelves is no
problem at ALL
From the strictly functional approach the
homeowner can swing over to the decorative.
Attractive new types of wallboard and paneling
can be set in the place of old standard sections
that are dull to the eye. Precut banisterS of
wrought iron combined with moderniStic wood
designs also are coming into wide use With
just a bit of Imagination, the homeowner can
transform his staircase into a showcase.

straints upon misuse Of union power,
by hoodlum leaderships, comparable to
restraints which have been imposed in
past times against predatory industrial
and financial interests. The measure
was approved by an 88-to-1 vote in the
Senate, where its bipartisan sponsors
were strongly supported by Chairman
Mcclellan. In the House, there were
no comparably powerful advocates and,
quite evidently, strong forces in oppo-
sition.
The result, in short, is that Congress
has failed to do job that needed doing.
The need will be there, however, until
some Congress muSters the political
courage to do the Job. Meanwhile, those
who managed this years defeat may
reflect upon Senator Ives evaluation

is female sterility.
Ovaries are among the
most easily damaged Of all
tissues and only relatively
low doses are required to
sterilize rats and mice. This
has proved q serious block to
studies Of heredity but now
may be overcome to Q large
degree. DR.. l.. B. Russell Of the
Oak Ridge, Tenn, laboratory
Of the Atomic Energy Com
mission reported to the con-
ference.
Heredity studies require
large numbers Of offspring. A
dose Of 800 roentgens, the Or
binary unit Of radiation, Civ
en- at one time, DR.. Russell
has found, viii produce near
~ 100 per cent sterility. With
the same dose distributed
over three weeks several lit
tiers may be produced. and
when it is distributed over
six months the fertility re-
turns nearly to normal.
The average rat, she said,
can be expected to produce
about II litters in an aver
age lifetime. There will be
five to six young In each lit
ter. With q single dose Of as
little as so roentgens delivered
at once the number of lit
tiers is cut down to four, and
with smaller doses it is
reduced proportionately.
AS the CUTOFF point is
approached, the successive
filters become smaller and
smaller.
TwO-Sided Study Now
BY the extended dosage
technique, DR.. Russell ex-
plains, it now is possible for
the first time to determine
the contributions of an IRA
dated mother on heredity.
Previously the hereditary
effects could be demonstrated
only for the father, when
mated to a nonradiated
female.
The sterility effect, she
said, is apparently due to
effects on the ovaries alone.
The pituitary gland. which
might augment or even be
the primary cause of the
sterility, has been carefully
shielded in all the expert
mentS.
The experiments already are
showing that the irradiated
mothers pass on many unde-
sirable qualities, in addition
to those obtained from the
father.

Mr.. Rockefeller in Control

There has been a certain Inevitable
ity about the quiet campaign that now
seems certain to bring the Republican
nomination for Governor Of New York
to Nelson A. Rockefeller.
Making his first bid for elective
office, the youthful f1nancier- philan-
thropiSt announced his candidacy in
early July. At that time, two other
political veterans - former national
chairman Leonard W. Hall and State
Senator Walter Mahoney-were able to
claim greater voting support in the
nominating convention which opens in
Rochester next Monday. In the weeks
since, however, individual party leaders
and county delegations have gathered
steadily around the Rockefeller banner.
The withdrawal of Mr.. Hall, the first to
announce and for weeks the 'front.'
runner, promptly brought new pledges
to Mr.. Rockefeller and estimates now
give him more than the 586 votes needed
to win. Mr.. Halls announcement that
he is a "realist in politics" implied
clearly that he had lost all hope of over
coming the Rockefeller tide.
For the Democrats, the evidence of
Mr.. Rockefeller'S popularity and, per-
hapS more Importantly, the Skillful po-
litical management in the latterS camp
is not an encouraging combination.
Governor Averell Hartman is sure of
his party'S nomination. He is hoping to
win big" in November as a possible
step to a place on the presidential
ticket in 1860, or at least commanding
voice in the makeup Of that ticket. The
prospect of bitter G. o. P. factional
fight over the governorship might have
helped Mr.. Hartman, but this threat
has vanished. There is, in fact, more
danger now of angry factionalism among
the Democrats, over the senatorial nomi-
nation, than among the Republicans.
1t is a reasonable guess that Mr..
Rockefeller will be able to name" the
G. o. P. senatorial nominee-there are
no avowed andidateS-without stirring
up party bitterness. Mr. Hartman I'M
queStionably has equal power In his
party, but the fact that several strong
candidates already have announced for
this office leaves the final choice sub
ject to disappointment and diSSension.
At this point, the Republicans appear
to have improved materially their
November chances In the Empire State.

The best use Of the cry Of
the whippoorwill in fiction
was made in the weird stories
of H. P. Lovecraft.
In his tales, notably
Shadow Over Innsmouth,"
the sound of this bird is
almost invariably connected
with the appearance on
earth of some great monster
hitherto sealed down for
centuries.
In everyday life, FORUM
ately, the legend is merely a
legend.
This birds call is strange,
but interesting, clear and
complete, as all bird songs
are.
Yet it is not hard to I'M
derstand how some lonely
soul, keyed up by some emo
tional upset, first thought up
the superstition.
Once uttered, the idea
spread as all such ideas do,
adding to the storehouse of
such lore the world around.
One must be on guard to
avoid ascribing to the birds
more than is in their songs.
Bird song is beautiful. It

Blank Check for Peace

The Norwegian plan for resolving
the current Middle East crisis would
place great responsibility on United Ma
tions Secretary General Dag Hammar-
skiold. For in essence the formula
sponsored by Norway and six other
Western powers-not including the
United States or Britain-would give to
Mr. Hammarskjold the broadest discre-
tionary authority to make practical
arrangements" for assuring that Leba-
non and Jordan may live under protec-
ton of the highest principles of the
United Nations Charter.
On the nature of such arrange
ments, the resolution makes no effort
to be specific other than to say they
should be reached Gin consultation with
the governments concerned" AS a pref
ace, however, the instruction to the
Secretary General reaff1rmS that U. N.
member states should refrain from any
threats or acts, direct or indirect, aimed
at impairing the freedom, independence
or integrity of any state, or at fomenting
civil strife and Subverting the will of
the people Of any state" It has, of
course, been the violation of this in
junction against interference or inter-
vention that has menaced the independ-
ence Of both Lebanon and Jordan, and
prompted their governments to appeal
to the United States and Britain for the
protection of our military forces.
Accompanying introduction of the
Norwegian resolution were letters from
the American and British governments
to the President of the General Assembly
assuring that troops would be withdrawn
whenever requested by the duly consti-
tuted" governments of Lebanon and
Jordan, or as soon as the u N. may
determine that their presence is no
longer required for the maintenance of
peace. This approach is in reverse to
opposition resolutions that place first
emphasis upon troop Withdrawals with
out reference to prior guarantees of
security or stability for the countries
whose freedom and independence have
been threatened. Significantly, for the
longer term, the Norwegian resolution
invites Mr.. HammarSkjold to continue
studies for establishing a u. NJ peace
force as well as opening consultation
with the Arab states on setting up a
regional economic development agency
as proposed by President Eisenhower.
In short, the Norwegian plan offers
the Middle East states the opportunity
to work out ollectively-with the help
of Mr.. Hammarskjold and the support
of the United Nations-the conditions
under which their individual independ-
ence and integrity would be assured. It
is a plan which deserves the support of
all who really believe in the Charter to
which they all have subscribed.

UNIVERSITY OF YER
MONT.-The female Of the

This Is true, at least, for

throughout nature. DR.. q. A.

Commissions Argonne Lab
oratory at the University Of
Chicago reported to q world
conference on radiation re-
search here.
For the past five years the
Argonne scientists have been
irradiating animals Of both
sexes with doses ranging from
six to 100000 roentgens q day
to determine life expectancy
curves. Eighteen mice of each
sex were exposed to the very
high levels and 200 or more
Of each sex to the lower levels.
The cumulative effects on
the two sexes were quite
different. they found. These
effects proceed In stages for
both sexes, the first part Of
the body affected being the
Innings Of the intestinal tract,
then the blood cells, and
finally the body as a whole.
Temperature One Factor
Temperature, and probably
several other factors of the
environment, play a part in
the effects of a constant low
level radiation, to which
most persons eventually may
be subjected, it was reported
by Drs. Loren D. Carlson and
Betty H. Jackson of the Uni
versity of Washington. Rats
kept at various constant
temperatures from % c. to
35 c. were exposed to various
levels of radiation. A differ
ence of nearly 100 days in
average life expectancy was
found between the low and
high temperature animals re-
ceiving the same doses.
Fatal effects of radiation,
according to other reports,
seem basically to be due to
the creation in the blood
stream of so-called free
radicals" - that is, atoms
stripped of one outer cleo
iron. Such atoms seem to "go
crazy" chemically and force
themselves into all sorts of
combinations to make up for
the deficiency. AS a result a
considerable number of blood
poiSonS are created which re-
act throughout the body.

he did not fail us.
