According to HoyIe

Much Is said about WASH
ington's traffic situation, but
nobody does anything about
1t.
Take the picture in Sun
days Star Of the jam at
Fourteenth street. All police
men do is stand around where
there are traffic lights and
blow whistles when the lights
change. They might as well
be cigar store Indians. People
know enough to 60 or stop
with the lights. The job
Of a policeman is to prevent
jams and to break them UP.
The way to do this is to keep
traffic flowing in the most eff
f1cient manner, regardless Of
lights. thus relieving the sit
uation at crowded places.
Look at Fourteenth street
and Independence avenue in
the evening hours. The po-
liceman should keep traffic
from piling up in the inter-
section and stopping cross
trafiic. But does he do it?
The same is true at Four
tenth street and the Mall.
Cars pull into the intersection
and stop regardless of traf-
f1c ahead or to the side.
II they had a policeman
at this spot to keep the place
clear 1t would help much.
Also trafiic from the Mall
should be allowed to make a
left turn from two lanes. The
same is true at Independ-
ence avenue and Fifteenth
street. But no! They must
line up in Indian file and ex-
tend the traffic back twice
as far as necessary.
The sole object of the Of
f1cers seems to be to slow
down traff1c instead Of keep
ing it moving-even though
slowly.
I will take the job Of I'M
snarling this situation for
so days. and IL / don't do a
better job than now is being
done. they needn't pay me a
dime.

Gromyko's Line


tween the behavior Of the
Russians at the presummit
conference in Geneva and
our own. The Soviets are
jumping all over the place
and asking for everything
under the sun. while our own
representatives are too timid
or too foolish to ask for more
than the rights originally as
signed to us as q result Of our
participation in the war very
minor according to postwar
Russian conceptions) and re-
peatedly fall short Of asking
even half this much.
Gromyko says that the So
Wet Union and East Germany
are making "a big concession
in agreeing to convert West
Berlin into a free city"
Evidently East Germany was
not on the enemy side during
the war, and the prizes Of
victory belong to it rather
than to us who contributed
so niggardly to the outcome
Of the holocaust. THE most
equitable approach" he con-
tinues. would be to give the
German Democratic Repub-
lie full sovereignty over West
Berlin" Why be so modest
and stop at so little. brother
Gromyko? Don't you feel that
in addition to West Berlin,
half Of the territory Of the
United States fright here in
the western Hemisphere
should be turned over to East
Germany because it chose the
right partners during the war
and because in any event its
democratic processes are so
deep seated and well founded
that the United States is an
upstart by comparison?
Gromyko makes these fur
ther charges against West
Berlin: (The Soviet repre-
sentatives are entitled to
poetic license, whereas our
own must not speak even the
prosaic TRUTH There is
hardly another place on earth
where the intelligence organi-
cations Of certain states feel
so comfortable. Western
agents arrange sabotage and
arson. break machinery at
plants. poison livestock in
agricultural co-operatives, ct
cetera. The American spon-
sored Rias radio in the
American sector has been
spreading false rumors. SLAM
ders, calls for sabotage and
disorder"
The Soviets and their sat-
elites are quite obviously
mere children in this bust
ness Of sabotage and propa-
ganda. It is we, who can
barely open our mouths, who
SANDER and spread false ru-
mors and occasionally resort
to brain-washing in order to
influence neutrals and con-
vert the democratic citizens
OF Communist countries to
our way Of thinking. There
is no better example of the
effectiveness of silence than
we Americans.
Another Gromyko conten-
ton is that the West Ber-
liners are tagging consid-
erably behind East Germany
on the economic front" Ac-
cording to the new Russian
physiology (they have al
ready revised genetics and
recently have begun to over
haul astronomy. digestion
takes place in the brain and
not IN the stomach, and If
you flll the former with talk,
there is no need to provide
the latter with food. BY these
standards. a starving East
Berliner is undeniably the
economic superior Of his
West Berlin kinsman.

Another living creature
that teaches us to mind our
own business and not be too
ambitious is the house cat.
Just as the birds try to tell
us to be satisfied with our lot
on earth, so the domestic
cats preach by example the
decency of finding interest
in what interests one.
No amount of prodding
and holding up to the win
dow will make a house cat
see a fire engine going along
the street.
The fire engine is out of
his sphere.
He knows nothing about it,
and pays no attention to its
rumbling. snorting, changing.
"See the big fire engine"
we said to Whitley. the white
cat.
He refused to look.
Nothing could make him
look.
A mouse. now. that would
be different-mice are for
cats-just as cats are for
dogs-but a fire engine
This is singleneSs of pur-
pose as displayed in nature
for our edi1ication.
The trouble is that most
often we fail to apply the
teaching of the creatures to
our own ends. We have been
for so many centuries going
on the theory that we are so
vastly superior to all other
created things that we mostly
refuse to accept the belief
that anything else can really
tell us anything.
If we do accept. for a few
seconds. shortly we resume
our old air, that we are Just
a little lower than the angels,
and all these other walking,
crawling, swimming and fly
ing things have little to offer
us.
We accept them as food,
clothing and entertainment,
as aids in agriculture, upon
occasion. as actors in side
shows. maybe.
other than this, they have
nothing to give us. people
say, and they should be
thankful for the help we give
them, the protection and food
In barns and the like.
The truth is they give US
much beauty and interest.

radioactivity Of the water I:
the past three years has
risen about five times the
natural background Of sea
water. Presumably this is all
due to weapons tests. Thus
exceptional amounts Of ra-
dioactivity Of water oozing
upward from the bottom
would mean that the flow
started only about three
years ago. Thus, depending
on the location Of the
sample, an estimate Of the
rate Of flow could be formed.
Two remote Pacific islands
OF dragons, abode of strange
creatures elsewhere extinct
on earth for milleniums. are
being set aside for world
science.
These are Indefatigable
and Marlborough Islands in
the Galapagos Archipelago
which Ecuador has agreed to
make wild life preserves UNI
der auspices Of the United
Nations organization,
UNESCO. Just 100 years ago
Charles Darwin's observa-
tons on the Galapagos were
the direct inspiration for his
then revolutionary doctrine
Of evolution.
On Indefatigable, a OAR
win research laboratory will
be set up and a part Of the
island Is being reclassified as
a preserve. All of Mari.
borough, least explored of the
group, is being turned into q
wild life sanctuary.
The Galapagos. islands of
volcanic origin which lie al.
most directly on the equator,
are unique in that tropical
and polar species, seals and
penguins. live side by side.
This is due to the Humboldt
Current which flows north
ward from the sub-Antarctic.
Penguins and Cormorants
On Marlborough Island the
Galapagos penguin and the
f1ightlesS cormorant still
thrive. The latter is Of the
same class as the dodo and
the great aux which long
since have been extinct. The
island also swarms with land
iguanas and giant turtles.
Coastal regions are the
home Of the sea iguana, a
3-foot lizard which might
serve as a model for the
dragons of medieval folk lore.
All show no fear of man or
other animals. They are in
serious danger of extinction
If man ever invades their
habitat.
The first Europeans who
visited the Galapagos intro
duced COWS. pigs and goats as
sources of food. The goats
and pigs became wild so the
settlers brought in dogs to
hunt them-and the dogs
also went wild.
The wild pigs uprooted
reptile eggs on the islands

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Sea Turns Upside Down Periodically

The sea turns upside down
every TOO years.
Cold. heavy water Of the
bottom flows In great "riv-
ers." several miles deep,
along the Western edges Of
Atlantic and Pacific from
North TO South. Then it rises
to within q few hundred feet
Of the surface where 1t is
carried back north and sinks
to the bottom again.
The bottom flow amounts
to about so million cubic
yards a second in both
oceans. All along the way
some is moving upwards to-
wards the surface. but at a
rate Of only about half an
inch a day.
This is, at least, a highly
plausible theory just report
ed by the National Academy
Of Science. in proposals for
an intensive study Of ocean
calculations during the next
few years. Actually, says the
report. methods and in
struments developed during
the International Geophysi-
cal Year will make 1t possible
to determine the existence
and even measure the flow
rate Of the Western bound
airy currents.
NIT Doctors Theory
The theory reported has
been developed by DR.. Henry
Stommel Of Massachusetts,
Institute Of Technology. Pre-
sumably 1t would apply
equally to the seas of the
Southern Hemisphere. At
the calculated flow rate of
so million cubic yards a day,
at least seven centuries
would be required for total
replacement Of the bottom
water.
The Western boundary
currents. says the academy
report. could now be meas
ured directly with a device,
the neutral buoyancy
buoy" developed by DR.. John
Swallow Of the British Ma
tional Institution Of Ocean
ography. This already has
resulted in discovery Of sew
eral great underSea rivers at
intermediate depths.
DR.. Stommel has proposed
to the academy two major
measuring stations-one of
the Grand Banks underneath
the Gulf Stream to measure
the volume of North Atlantic
deep water flowing south
ward and a second in the
Western Pacific to serve the
same purpose.
Detailed prof1les of water
temperature and salt con-
tent should also be made
from top to bottom at every
10 degrees latitude in the
Pacific and Indian Oceans,
the report proposes, Such
proflles already are being
made in the Atlantic.
Other parts of the theory,
it is proposed, can be tested
during the next few years by
measurements of long-lived
radioactive elements which
have been produced in atomic
bomb tests and which have
sunk to the bottom. These
might provide a measure of
the rate of mixing of the
southwark flowing bottom
waters and the waters just
below the so-called ther-
mocline, or Skin of the sea"
which starts about 200 yards
below the surface.
This would be particularly
applicable in the Pacific
where it has been determined

Armchair Stroteoist

The United States appears
to be on the defensive again
in a long list of Communist
inspired international crises.
When will we put some back
bone in our foreign policy
and take the offensive? I
submit the following proposal
for consideration:
The United States has long
insisted on free elections in
Germany to decide the fu-
ture Of that divided nation.
The USSR won't agree for
obvious reasons. and now
we're thinking in terms of
some other alternative. Well,
let's stick to our convictions.
Russia has been sounding
off for years about admission
Of Red China to the U.N.
OK, let's offer such admis-
sion and diplomatic recogni-
ton for acceptance of our
way Of settling the German
question.
But insist that If Red
China is admitted to the U.N.
that the U.N. become truly a
world organization. with all
nations in membership. And
let's go a step further and
insist on a complete re-
evaluation Of and resub-
scription to the principles of
its charter. Let's put teeth
in the principles of human
rights and freedom for all
peoples and expose the Com
munist system for once and
for all to all Of our fence-sit-
ting friends and let the world
see for what the United
States stands. And let's
write in a disarmament
agreement with our plans for
adequate inspection and con-
trolls.
This plan would catch Rus
STA completely off guard. If
the Kremlin refused, the
Peiping government, in quest
of the Responsibility" U.N.
membership would afford,
might very possibly feel that
1t was being sold out by Mos
COW and a severe breach in
the Sino-Soviet bloc could
result.
If the Russians accepted
this proposal it would be a
step closer to real peace. In
any event we would win a
propaganda victory and gain
the diplomatic upper hand;
we may divide the Commu-
mist bloc; we will regain our
self-respect and be able to
continue the cold war with
the backing of a more reso-
lutte. stronger and united free
world. American.
