'PeeIinq on Onion

Although it may seem to deal with
things altogether unreal and fantastic,
the Presidents decision to ask Congress
for 500 million to build linear high
energy accelerator, or 4atom- smasher."
is very much down to earth. That is
to say, 1t is a decision calculated to pro-
mote basic research aimed at uncovering
some Of natures innermost secrets
research of sort that promises to lead
to discoveries profoundly affecting the
workaday life Of man everywhere.
When 1t is completed at CALIFORNIA;
Stanford University, the new accelerator
will be the worlds largest and longest
1.-TWO miles,, and it will make possible
experiments that are likely to open up
to sciences view areas Of matter and
anti-matter that are now completely
hidden and mysterious. These are the
areas that lie within the infinitesimally
small heart of the atom, and within the
hearts subdivisions. They are the "ele-
mentry particles" that constitute spe-
cial branch Of physics This branch
embraces "the subatomic universe" and
although is is too abstruse for most
of us to comprehend, the following ex-
cerptS from the primer" just issued by
the White House help to explain its
meaning:
1t is concerned with phenomena re-
mote from our immediate and familiar
surroundings but applications stemming
from this branch of physics have had
profound effects upon our technology, our
national security. and even our daily
living. -.
We are peeling an onion layer by
layer. each layer uncovering in a sense
another universe, unexpected. compile
Gated and-as we understand more
strangely beautiful. -.
Our understanding of the ultimate
structure of matter and energy depends
upon the great particle accelerators.
which take low-energy electrons and pro-
tons and impart to them the enormous
energy necessary to "see" to distances
which are to the thickness of a sheet of
paper as that thickness is to the distance
to the moon.
We cannot know what will be discov-
cred from the deeper probings of the
subatomic world. Our only guide is past
experience, and here the lesson is evident
that nature often turns out to be remark
ably different from any expectation.
Pure research has given us
knowledge and understanding of many Of
the phenomena of our world. From
the brilliant investigations of 19th-century
physicists have developed electric
power. electronics. radio. television.
The practical results that must derive
from continued exploration with larger
accelerators cannot be guessed. If the past
is guide. they will be numerous and fan
tastic The one thing we have learned to
expect from nature is to be surprised.
AS in other parts of the fascinating
White House primer" on subatomic
research, there is certain amount of
poetry in these scientific observations.
Moreover, there is truth in them, too.
and'that is why there probably win be
little or no haggling in Congress over
the Presidents request for the giant new
accelerator.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Stossen PIoyinq for High Stokes

Harold z. Stassen. stormy
petrol Of Republican politics
for a dozen years. has
launched another bid for
public once Mayor Of Phila-
delphia. He won the q. o. p.
nomination for that ONCE on
Tuesday. as was expected,
with the backing Of the party
organization.
A protest vote against him
was cast for two city commit
teemen who entered the
Republican primary. These
votes = about $1,000 = were
cast by people who do not
like Mr.. Stassen and those
who resented his indorse-
ment Of Supreme Court JUS
tice Thomas Mcbride. run
ming as an independent for
nomination for another term
on the bench. The regular
Republican candidate for this
judicial nomination, Superior
Court Judge Blair Gunther.
defeated Justice Mcbride by
100000 votes. Justice Mcbride
has been serving as Supreme
Court justice under appoint
ment Of former Gov. George
Leader, Democrat.
Why Mr.. Stassen took of
on this Mcbride tangent is
anybody's guess. but 1t did
him no good.
Planning Far Ahead
Nevertheless. Mr.. Stassen
will have the support of the
Republican Philadelphia or
ganization in the race against
Mayor Richardson Dilworth,
Democrat, in the November
election. Senator Hugh Scott.
whose election over Gov.
Leader last November was
one Of the few outstanding
Republican victories of the
1858 political campaign. is
supporting Mr.. Stassen.
When Senator Scott decided
to run for the Senate. he was
the last remaining Republic
can member of the House Of
Representatives from Phila-
delphia. Mr.. Scott frankly
admits that Mr.. Stassen
has an uphill race on his
hands. He points out that the
Republican city ticket--for
Offices other than mayor
should be an aid to Mr.. Stas-
sen, as 1t contains young.
attractive candidates who un-
doubtedly will play important
parts in the future in the
Republican organization.
Mr.. Stassen's willingness to
accept the Republican nomi-
nation for Mayor of Philadel-
phia this year has its roots in
long-range political planning,
observers say. If he can make
a good showing, even If he
loses, Mr.. Stassen will have
improved his political posi-
ton for another try for Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania in
1862.
More immediate, however,
is the promise he exacted
that he should be one of the
IL delegates Philadelphia will
send to the Republican Ma
tional Convention next year.
If by any chance Mr.. StasSen
should win the mayoralty
election, he might become an
important figure in the Penn
sylyania delegation to the
national convention. particu-
larry if he could talk the
other Philadelphia delegates
into going along with him. In
1856. Mr.. Stassen, then an as

THIS AND THAT
BY Charles E. TRACEWELL

back to the small town at
mosphere.
Most of them cannot move
back to a small town.
The novelist said it. once
and for all, when he wrote,
you Can't Go Home Again"
No. you can't.
But you can move to the
suburbs.
+ -
That is all the mystery
there is to it.
You can live as you please
in the suburbs. it is Just a
question of being able to re-
sist mass influences.
If you happen to be one Of
these persons who has no
resistance, in this respect,
then you may be the prey OF
people trying to get dollars
out of you for their pet prof.
ects.
If your resistance is 100 per
cent, these raids won't worry
you any more in the outskirts
than in the town proper.
The suburb is as near as
most people nowadays can
get to country living. A few
determined souls make a
clean break, and live 40 miles
down in the country, but
most do not like to go that
far, and they don't have to.
That is all there is to the
famous mystery" of Sub
urbia.
One of the happiest fea-
lures of suburbs everywhere
in the East has been the
wood thrush.
This beautiful bird has
given up its wooded haunts
and has been glad to come
to the well Powered and
shrubbed suburban sections.
where there are still plenty
of trees.
The wood thrush arrives
in our locality about April
%. almost to the day, and
leaves about October Is.
This gives US six months OF
his presence.
He is, for us. no longer a
wood thrush, but a suburban
thrush. and this makes him
twice as valuable as before.
A wonderful singer, the
wood thrush comes where the
hermit thrush will not come,
and makes himself so thor
oughly at home that we do
not miss his shy cousin.

Qualification

Congratulations to Joseph
Young for catching and
reporting on May Is the
''howler" uttered by House
Civil Service Com mite e
Chairman Tom Murray when
he said: IF Thomas jefferson
were alive TODAY. he'd turn
in his grave" Most of the
audience present at the hear
ing, including m yself, to
whom the remark was adj
dressed, did not catch the
''howler" at the time.
Your distinguished column
mist erred. however. when he
said the cheated comment Of
Chairman Murray" was made
ito a witness who had in
voked the name of Thomas
jefferson in opposing the
proposed loyalty security
measure"
/ had not invoked the name
of Jefferson in my testimony.
It was Chairman Murray who
brought in .Jefferson's name
when he held up a copy Of
my book, Rehabilitation to
Freedom" and objected to
the dedication inscribed in
it to the memory Of Thomas
jefferson. MY book got into
the hearing because, in re-
questing to testify. / had sent
q copy of the book to the
chairman to establish my
general qualifications.
In objecting to the dedica-
ton Chairman Murray said
that Jefferson would ''rebel
at the fact that you dedicated
the book to his memory" The
dedication simply declares
that Jefferson's Statement of
principles Of free government
is as valid for the atomic age
as it was for the days of TO-

got nowhere with his cam
paign. and wound up second
ing the Nixon nomination.
II q real race should de-
velop between Mr.. Nixon ana
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller
for the COP. presidential
nomination next year. Mr..
Stassen. 1t is believed, would
be in the Rockefeller camp.
This despite the fact there is
strong pro-Nixon sentiment
among Pennsylvania Republi-.
can leaders.
Mr.. Stassen, elected Gov
ernor Of Minnesota the FIRST
time in 1898, is today only
81 years old. Three times he
was elected Governor Of his
native State. an ONCE he re-
signed to enter the Navy IN
World War II. where he
served on Admiral Halsey's
stan. He was United States
delegate to the United Ma
tons Conference when the
U. N. Charter was written M
l945, He has twice been O.
candidate for the Republican
presidential nomination, and
president of the University
Of Pennsylvania. ~
Last year he resigned as
special adviser to President
Eisenhower on disarmament,
to run for the gubernatorial
nomination in Pennsylvania.
He had the solid opposition
OF the so or so Republican
county chairmen. all Of
whom supported Arthur r.
McGonigle. a pretzel manu-
facturer. Mr.. McGonigle won,s
but Mr.. Stassen polled $780,
900 votes.
There are those who say
that had Mr.. Stassen been
nominated for Governor. he
could well have won over>
David j. Lawrence, the DEM.
ocratic candidate who de-
feated the unknown Mr..
McGonigle by only 10000
votes.

Tough Assignment
How tough an assignment
Mr.. Stassen now has can
readily be understood from
an examination of recent
election results. Philadelphia
has in recent years become
a Democratic stronghold.
Eight years ago, on the wave
of a reform movement. Sem
ator Joseph s. Clark. Demo-
crat, was elected Mayor Of
Philadelphia. The last four
years Mayor Dilworth, also a
Democrat. has been the city's
chief executive, with a good
record in Office. The Demo-
cratic voter registration Is
more than 100000 greater
than the Republican. Never
theless, Mr.. Stassen will APP
peal to the independent
voters and seek to win over
some Democrats, and so win
election. 1t will be a political
miracle If he does it.
The stakes. so far as Mr..
Stassen is concerned. are
large. If he can be helpful
in winning a presidential
nomination for Gov. Rookie
Teller, either in 1860 or 1864.
he rconceivably could look for
a cabinet post. perhaps Sec.
rotary of State. Or he might
become a strong factor IN
Pennsylvania politics and run
successfully for Governor or
for the Senate. Mr.. Stassen
doubtless looks back to 1910
when he delivered the key
note speech at the Republic
can National Convention in
Philadelphia and then be-
came floor manager of the
stampede to Wendell Z,
Willkie for the presidential
nomination, over Taft, Dewey
and others.

Is Your Name
RICHTER :?

Richter, an old and honored sur
name, is principally of German
origin. OF relatively simple deriva-
ton, it is obtained from the Ger
man richter, meaning Judge OF
magistrate, and therefore was
| bestowed in medieval times up
| on those who held such office. This
is in line with the practice, often
followed when surnames first
came into vogue, of naming people
in accordance with their place of
residence, physical characteristics
occupation or profession.
John Richter and Michael Rich
ter were privates in the Lancaster
County, Pennsylvania militia at
the time of the Revolutionary War.
According to The Pennsylvania
German Pioneers, published by
the Pennsylvania German Society
in 1894 and listing the immigrant
arrivals at the Port OF Philadelphia
from 1927 to 1903, Johannes Richter
arrived on the ship Hope Galley
in September 1874. Simon Richter
came on the ship Dragon" in Sep
TENDER 1749, and Johann Gottfried
Richter arrived on the ship "Os-
good" in September 1850
John L. Richter was a tanner in
the Accident district of Garrett
County during the later part OF
the 18th century.
George Richter was school
trustee of Accident district, Gar
rett County for the year ending
May 10, 1882.
Johann Paul Friedrich Richter
(1763-1825) was distinguished
German author and humorist.
Henry Joseph Richter (1838-1916)
a native of Oldenburg, Germany,
was ordained priest, Roman Catho-
lie Church in 1865, was vice-presi-
dent and a member of the faculty
of Mount SaiLt Mary's Seminary,
Cincinnati, Ohio, for number of
years and was consecrated Bishop
Of Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 1883,
in which capacity he served until
the time of his death.
Curt Paul Richter is professor
of psychology at Johns Hopkins
Medical School.
Conrad Michael Richter of New
York City is known nationally as
an author of fiction. He was the
recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for
fiction in 1851.
George H. Richter is professor
and chairman of the department
Of chemistry, Rice Institute, Hous-
ton, Texas.

manufacturers would be further
handicapped in the competitive
battle with Communist Russia and
her satellites, as well as with
friendly foreign countries.
OF course, the unions are adj
vancing the argument that in
crease in hourly wages and the
cost of further fringe benefits can
be paid out of profits, and further
price raises would not be neces-
sary This is, to put it mildly, bad
thinking on the part of the union
leaders. When wage increases are
obtained at the expense of profits,
future jobs are undermined be-
cause investment is discouraged
Union labor leaders should by
this time have learned that wage
gains cannot outrun productivity
without endangering many jobs.
The 35-hour week and the fringe
benefits, for which they clamor
and are putting forth every effort
to obtain, would increase the very
unemployment which they seek
to decrease.
1t is earnestly hoped that the
Congress will not amend the Fair
Labor Standards Act, shortening
the work week to 35 hours; and
that the arrangements of our
American concerns will stand

Germany have never been clear
ly defined. In driving through the
region some years ago with a
friend from Ohio, he kept looking
fer a town or at least an exact
spot which was New Germany. To
apply the criterion that it includes
the territory formerly served by the
public school would be too limited
Separate schools were maintained
at Red Hill, the Backwoods. Set
tlement and the old Dorsey School.
And yet most of the residents of
these places considered themselves
as residents of New Germany. They
were all served by the New Ger
many Post Office Perhaps this
would be a more reliable yard
stick even though it might be
trifle too inclusive.
During World War l, it was sug-
gested that since we were at war
with Germany, it would be patriotic
to change the name. The good
citizens considered the matter care
fully and decided that changing the
name would hardly be considered
a major blow at Kaiser Wilhelm.
And so, good common sense pre-
vailing, the name remained.
Since the closing of the postof-
flee, the name is perpetuated only
by the New Germany Recreation
Center of the Savage River State

the most popular recreation cen
tiers in the county. Every Sunday

an endless burden, one day is
like another, nothing to live
for. The Psalmist expressed
such feeling when he said in
Psalm 1924, mo man cared
for my soUl". Do you feel like
this? Perhaps you have never
shared your feeling with others.
Nevertheless, life is meaning
less, useless, and you wait for
the grave. Let me inform you,
friend, your attitude is based
on a false premise. IFS false
because God cares for you. He
not only said so (See John
3:16) but He proved it by send
ing His only Son TO die that
you might be forgiven and be
reconeiled TO Himself Romans
5:8). ] believe that God values
your soul SO much and loves
you so much, no matter who
you are or what you have
done, that if you had been the
only person in the world, Christ
would have come from Heav-
ems glory TO die Just for you.
How can you say no one cares?
Perhaps the reason you feel
like you do is because you
have spUrned His love. Love
must be reciprocal If it is to be
enjoyed.
