RALPH MccILL

This is the way the Vice
President Of the United
States wants 10 go To Rus
STA this summer Jet flight
right over the North Pole to
Moscow.
The plane In which he
hopes TO fly is not yet fully
tested. But engineers and
pilots will have completed
the strenuous routine OF test
ing by late July. when he is
scheduled TO go to Russia
formally 10 dedicate the
American exposition.
He does not, 1t is UNDER
stood. plan TO stop in any
other country on the way
there or return. This would
tend TO distract attention
from the fact that the one
objective is Russia.
The Vice President already
has been to most Of the great
land areas of the world.
This one, which is so vast
in geography and power. has
long fascinated him, as it has
almost every sensitive person
of our time. 1t is no secret
that he long has wished to
90 there and to see for him
self the land and the people
and to meet the leaders in
tellectually and diplomatic
cally.
Vice President Nixon is one
who believes very much in
the value of personal knowl-
edge and experience. This
Russian journey has been on
his mind for a long time. 1t
is not easy for him to go on

Monkey Ray Killings
May Aid Broin Studies

death ray" killings OF 10
monkeys may have paved the
way for new advances in the
study Of disease of the human
brain.
The killer device-an instru-
ment giving of a certain type
Of ultra high frequency radio
wave-now looks like a good
bet for an improved tool to
study in animals certain con-
ditions involved in human
brain maladies.
No Hazard TO Humans
That's the word from DR..
Pearce Bailey Of the National
Institute of Neurological Dis
eases and Blindness. DR..
Bailey told about the monkey
radio experiments in congress
sional testimony released yes
Iterday. He expanded on the
experiments in an interview.
DR.. Bailey said that al
though there is practically no
hazard to humans from ordi-
nary radio and radar. the mon
key experiment points to a
possible way Of testing under
what particular conditions Or
binary radio and radar could
become hazardous"
He said the experiments-in
which 10 of 81 monkeys were
exposed sufficiently long to kill
them--did not alter the picture
as to what little hazard, if any
at all, there is in ordinary radio
and radar."
Regarding possibilities of
using the technique in BRAIN
disease research, DR.. Bailey
gave this outline:
There was no evidence from
the experiments that the
physiological changes produced
in the monkeys brains were
due to heat from the radio
waves.
So, he said. it is theorized
the the effects produced were
caused by molecular disturb

rived here late yesterday after
noon.
Thirteen hundred California
Democrats gave him a rousing
reception at the Franklin D.
Roosevelt dinner at the Bev-
erly-Hilton Hotel.
New Deal for World
And after he made a speech
calling for a new deal for the
whole world, he was immobil-
lied at the head table by en-
thuSiastic well-wishers and did
his most rushing business in
autographs since he embarked
on his interrupted five-State
tour.
Among the guests was Rep
resentative Roosevelt, Demo-
crat Of California, who also
flew across the country for the
dinner. To while away the
time until his arrival, about
a hundred diners, from county
chairmen down to city coun-
sellers and defeated candidates,
were introduced. Many Of
them spoke.
Democratic National Chair

Driver License
UniformityUr

A group Of Washington area
traffic officials is supporting
enactment of uniform require
ments for licensing motorists
in the District, Maryland and
Virginia.
This proposal was included
in a 20-point program adopted
yesterday by the Metropolitan
Area Traffic Councils Execu-
tive Committee.
The standard driver licensing
regulations would include uni
form requirements on suspen-
sion and revocation of permits
Other points in the commit
tees program include installa-
ton of traffic signals which
could warn Of an enemy attack
and apodtion of standardized
severe penalties for drunk
driving.

room who think that you, like
Franklin D. Roosevelt. have a
rendezvous with destiny"
Senator Humphrey, who has
yet to formalize his presidential
aspirations, said jokingly, II
have been out so often people
are getting suspicious"
Like all other speakers, he
made a deep bow in the d.
rection of the Governor, Ed
mund G. Brown, who will be
a favorite son candidate in the
California presidential pri-
maries and thus keep all other
names of the ballot.
Speaks 50 Minutes
The Senator was repeatedly
interrupted by applause during
his 50-minute speech which
was about half composed of of :
the-cuff remarks.
He called for worldwide
massive doses of health, edu-
cation, and love and under
standing" and "for better liv-
ing for people everywhere"
Where we should be boast
ing of our efforts and desire
to help other nations with
economic and technical assist
ance our Government seems to
apologize for these efforts" he
said. I'VE seem to be ashamed
of being Christian in our be-
havior-of helping our fellow
man because he is our brother
and he needs our help"
Asked before the dinner who
he thought the leading Demo-
cratic presidential candidate
was, excluding himself, Senator
Humphrey replied:
Il think Adlai Stevenson tops
the list. l think Stevenson is
the most respected. if he wants
to be a candidate"
Not Good at Depth
Who's No. 2? I'm not very
good at depth" the Senator
answered. I'm better at look
ing at the top of the water"
Would he welcome Senators
Kennedy of Massachusetts, and
Symington of Missouri if they
entered the Minnesota pri-
mary?
I'm fond of both Kennedy
and Symington," he said. I'm
not against any Democrat"
The Senator leaves today for
Salt Lake City, where he will
address a Jefferson-Jackson
Day Dinner. Tomorrow he will
have brunch with the Young
Democrats of Wyoming in Cas-
per.
He will be back in Washing
ton on Monday when he will
presumably begin to assess his
chances at the nomination
from what he learned on this
tour.
He semeed encouraged by
his reception in California.

LethaI Noise
Produced by
Test Machine

LOS ANGELES, April rs
(AP).-A Los Angeles firm Is
developing an out-of-this-
world sound-but 1t won't be
heard on your hi-ii set or any
where else.
This sound can kill you. said
William Thomas. president of
James B. Lansing Sound Inc.
He explained the sound is so
loud that; "You can't hear it
because you would be dead be-
fore you heard it. It's perfectly
capable Of destroying human
tissue. and a human being sub
jected to such high frequency
sound waves actually would be
homogenized-or scrambled
L in seconds"
Mr.. Thomas described the
firms High Intensity Sound
Simulator Hiss as a major.
breakthrough in efforts to sim
ulate tremendous vibrations
encountered on a trip to outer
space. Vibrations on such a trip
are caused by high speed and
shock waves.
Hiss sound waves develop
high frequency vibrations capa-
BILE of rafting a building with
an intensity greater than an
earthquake, he added.
But. Mr.. Thomas noted, the
noisemaker couldn't be used as
a death ray in wartime because
sound waves diSsipate rapidly
in the atmosphere.
He gave this description Of
Hiss.
1t is housed in a concrete
structure weighing hundreds Of
tons and containing many
high powered loudspeakers.
powered by seven 10-kilowatt
amplif1ers. Contrary to the
normal loundspeaker, these de-
vices emit sound from the small
end. The sounds travel through
a horn, bounce of a two-inch
thick metal plate and are dis
sipated in a sink containing
sound absorbing material.
How loud is this big noise?
Mr.. Thomas said he doesn't
know, because no one has ever
heard it.
The only noise comparable to
Hiss. he added, is the closeup
roar of a giant missile just as
it thunders off a launching pad.

thousand pounds of thrust.

ances" in the brain cells pro-
duced by the radiation itself
rather than its heat.
Still Just a Theory
Maybe" he said, "they (the
brain cells) resonate with the
electromagnetic radiation COM
ing in-but at present, that is
only theory"
But he said the evidence SO
far from the tests is that radio
waves can alter the biological
activity Of the brain stem, a
vital area of the brain, in a
way that may be reversible,
That is, under certain condi-
tons, the effects produced may
ultimately disappear.
Even the 10 monkeys that
were killed, he said, showed
very few abnormalities of the
brain when that organ was
examined after death. And the
IL other monkeys all had a
quite complete recovery" from
their experience. In the case
of the latter monkeys, Their
exposure to the radiowsves
was stopped short of the con-
vufsions which, in the Other
monkeys, were followed by
death.
These findings show, he said
that science now has an in.
strument that can change the
physiology of the brain without
doing permanent damage"
Thus" he said, this should
prove to be quite a. valuable
experimental tool for use ir
research on diseases of the
brain. Up to now, other re.
search procedures, such al
lobotomy, always caused de.
struction (of brain tiSSue.)"

Chinese Block
Help for Tibet

TOKYO, April rs (AP).-
Chinese Communist troops are
ringing the Tibetan border to
block outside help to the rebels,
Peiping reports said today.
The move to make the tradi-
tionally remote Himalayan
kingdom more isolated than
ever was reported by Red
Chna's official Peiping Peoples
Daily. The newspaper said:
After the Peoples Liberia
ton Army has taken up its
posts at key defense points
along the border, the imperial
lists and foreign reactionaries
will no longer be able to dis
patch spies or special agents
and to smuggle arms, coming
and going across our borders"
Tibet'S most important from
tier is with India.
Claim Rebellion Broken
The Communist claim they
have broken the back of the
rebellion but indicated there
are still pockets of resistance.
A major victory in speeding
up the putting down of the re-
bellion" was hailed in smashing
a big rebel band in the Loka
area southwest of the Tibetan
capital of Lhasa.
The Communist New China
News Agency said Tibetans In
the Loka area were informing
on holdout rebel units and
helping the Red army repair
bridges and improve roads.
Large crowds of jubilant
TibetanS cheered units of
the Peoples Liberation Army
wherever they passed on their
march to mop up rebels" the
agency said.
Rebels Being Wiped Out
Gen. Flu Chung, deputy chief
of the General Political De-
partment of the Red Chinese
army, said a handful of rem
nant rebel bandits who had
fed to the remote mountainous
areas were being wiped out"
He warned that they would
find themselves in a blind
alley if they flee to India"
Gen. Flu appealed to the
Tibetan rebels still fighting to
lay down their arms, saying
those who surrendered will
have their past behavior for
given"
"All captives will be treated
with leniency," he told the Red
China Parliament in Peiping

Dear Mr.. Totten:
Because Of your close connection
with Mr.. "A. Philip Randolph,
vice President Of the AFL-CIO
and international President Of the
brotherhood Of Sleeping Car Port
ers, who is said to be visiting
Puerto Rico and ST. Thomas and
perhaps st. John, | am writing
you. This leader would find a well
come sport in our Virgin Islands,
especially so, that you are down.
It would be good for us to see and
hear this great leader, SO in behalf
OF our workers, and the public in
general, | ask that this gentleman
be invited to come over to ST.
Croix where he may give some Of
his experience to our works and
the public in general.
Mr. Totten, st. Croix belongs also
to Uncle Sam and its main indus
try IS sugar cane. The Federal
Government holds control and we
have no voice in regards to price
increase for our workers. On the
whole the Federal Government
pays workers less than our Local
Government. Even the private
sugar cane growers pay their
workers not less than $500 per
day, OF soc an hour for an eight
hour day. The workers are not
satisfied but have no leader to
negotiate with the Federal Gov
eminent over it. Hearings have
been held with very little change
for minimum wage, Island work
ers need to unite.
Let us hope Mr. A. Philip Ram
dolph would find it possible to ac-
cept your invitation to st. Croix
SO our people would see and lis
ten to this great leader.
