Seeing Is Believing

Having read the latest Air
Force handout on unidenti-
fled flying objects (UFOs)
which appeared in The Star
recently, I should like to
comment:
Cd BY the usual "coinci-
dence" this latest statistical
playdown of UFOs followed
on the heels of a major UFO
sighting by pilots over the
Pacific, reported on the news
wires.
90 The Air Force COM
ment that it is hearing less
about UFOs," if true, might
we'll be due to the fact that
the Air Force is in the habit
of ridiculing those who re-
port UFOs, and implying that
witnesses are incompetent,
deluded, or worse.
90 Even if it is true that
the Air Force has received
only 143 reports compared to
296 in a comparable period
last year, this is entirely be-
side the point. A drop in re-
ports could have many causes
other than the implied one
that UFOs are not impor-
tant. The accumulated total
of unexplained UFOs is on
the order of is per cent. This
is remarkable when you con-
slider the fact that Air Force
investigators will accept OBJ
viously false reports, such as
misidentifications of Venus,
calling them UFOs.

sleight-of-hand, there is a
large body of serious UFO re-

'SenseIess SquobbIe'

Your August ! editorial,
"SenselesS Squabble," seeks to
equate a belligerent public
statement by a head Of
state president NaSser Of
the U. RI and a version,
garbled by that head of
state, of an article published
in two Israel newspapers by
a private citizen (Gen. Moshe
Dayan, a former chief Of staff
and presently a candidate for
Parliament).
While President NaSSer
quoted Mr.. Dayan as saying
that Israel Should attack
Sinai or occupy Sinai, which
is part Of the U. r." Mr..
Dayan, in actual fact, wrote
exactly the opposite. The
pertinent part Of the article
published in Davar and the
Jerusalem Post on July "a.
the text of which was avail
able in Washington before
publication of your editorial.
follows.
After discussing Egypt's
blockade action against Is
raeli shipping and Israeli
goods in the Suez Canal and
examining Israel's possible
courses Of reaction, Mr.. Da-
yam wrote:
I'm the case under discus
sion, military operations
could be Of two kinds. One
of these could be aimed at
the occupation Of the Sinai
Peninsula with a view to
reaching the canal and &C.
cupying its eastern bank, and
by that means turning the
Suez Canal into a waterway
controlled by two different
countries on both its banks.
This method is available
only in theory. A territorial
change of this kind can be
carried out only as part Of
a worldwide policy seeking to
change the political structure
of the area, and when condi-
tons are suitable. 1t is not
worth discussing this scheme
at greater length and no
such proposal is being put
forward by any one Of the
political parties in Israel"
Mr.. Dayan also wrote:
"In order to proceed to-
wards peace, good will and
cooperation on both sides
are necessary, but in order to
prevent agreement, i'll will
on one side is enough. The
second side is then left with
no choice. If the Egyptians
choose this policy Of hostility
then any other policy on our
part will only make our posi-
ton worse. Our desire
for peace and its overriding
Importance to us is automatic.
We are all equally agreed
that if we are attacked we
must defend ourselves"

fists. radar men. airline pi-
lots, military pilots, and in
telligent laymen. Are reports
from unframed and uncriti-
cal observers to receive more
weight than reports from

That is the meaning of the
misleading statistics issued
by the Air Force.

100 Years AGO

Schools were less expensive
a century ago. On August 8,
1859. The Star reported:
Last evening, in the Board
Of Aldermen. a bill was intro
duced and passed providing
for the purchase Of a suitable
lot to erect a schoolhouSe for
the pupils Of the First Dis
trict School. The bill appro-
PIRATES $1,000, or so much
thereof that may be required
for the purpose. So the cid

rats seems likely at last to be
abandoned for more COM
Portable quarters. The Coun-
ell and the Trustees of Pub
lie Schools will receive thanks
Of the rising generation for
this action"

Catherine and Lewis Bal

VSTAS IN SCIENCE
Trying to Fothom Oceans MYSTERIES
BY THOMAS R. HENRY

An as yet unknown plant
or animal that separates
heavy metals from sea water
now is being sought by ocean
ographers Of the Woods Hole
(Mass.) Oceanographic In
stitute.
II such an organism can be
found, says an institute re-
port, 1t well may be Of very
great industrial significance.
1t long has been known
that various parts Of the sea
floor are strewn with nodules
Of the metal manganese. How
they got there has been a
persistent problem. The idea
that they may result from the
activity Of some living thing,
which 1t might be possible to
rear in captivity, now is being
pursued by Dr.. John w. Ora
ham. geologiSt Of the institute
stan.
DR.. Graham's findings Of
organic compounds, almost
certainly the product of life
processes, in some nodules
collected from the Blake
Plateau, elevated area Of the
Atlantic floor of the Caro-
linas, aroused his curiosity.
1t also has been determined
that the nodules always are
found in the coolest bottom
water and that none ever
have turned up in the Medi-
terranean or Red Seas, where
the bottom water is relatively
warm.
Easily Explained
"These facts are most
easily explained" says an
institution report" by the
notion that a manganese
concentrating organism, sup
ported by q starvation diet.
must live in a cold environ
ment. The food that this Or
ganism consumes, it seems
reasonable to speculate, con-
siStS of metabolically useful
organic materials associated
with heavy metals not nor
mally soluble in sea water.
The organism utilizes the
organic portion for life proc
eSseS and rejects the rest
which then accumulates as
a complex mixture Of man
ganese. iron, nickel, cobalt
and copper, along with small
er quantities of other metals.
found in manganese nodules.
Preparations now are being
made to search for the sus-
pected organism. 1t is posi-
Bile that it might be cultivated
and used to concentrate valu-
able metals from the sea-"

rs Years Ago

Death of the street car in
the District began Is years
ago. On August II, 1884, The
Star reported: IAN extensive
network of bus lines, in
tended in part to save the
Capital Transit Co. from ex-
pense Of replacing street car
tracks now liz bad condition,
is recommended in the third
and final section of the John
Beeler rerouting report to
the Public Utilities Commits
sion, made public today. We
would seriously consider re-
placing the entire Connecti-
cut avenue street car serv-
ice with buses as soon as
track construction necessi-
tates any considerable out
lay says the report. :"
The Washington baseball
club hired a picturesque new
member Is years ago. The
Star reported on August IA.
1884: Because of the
drought that has desolated
Midwestern agricultural
areas, Washington's baseball
club gets a new pitcher-the
only one in the national
pastim e with full-blown
whiSkerS. When the pastures
on his little stock farm in
South Dakota and his herds
decreased, Allen Wilbur Ben
son decided to take up base
ball seriously. This he did az

Contagious diseases were
a problem in the District so
years ago. The Star, on Au-
gust IL, 1909. reported: In
an effort to find the cause
OF the prevalence of typhoid
fever in the National Capt.
tai, a meteorological labora-
tory will soon be established
in connection with the con-
tagious disease service of the
health department. This
step was decided upon today,
following a conference be-
tween Commissioner Mac
farland and Health Oficer
Woodward. At its conclu-
sion the Commissioner ap-
proved a recommendation to
that end made by the health
officer. The benefits of the
laboratory are expected to
be many. :"

Major Problem

THE new subsurface cur
rent measurements present
oceanographers with a major
problem. 1t has been known
for some time that weak
countercurrents are usually
present on either side of most
major ocean currents. But
in these the velocity decreases
gradually with depth. To
account for a maximum
velocity at a depth of only
$50 meters requires a COM
pletely new concept.
THE counter currents,
whatever their causes, are
OF extreme biological i'm
portance. If they did not
exist the entire population
Of the near-surface waters
would be living on a one
way street. 1t would be their
fate to end up in an in
hospitable environment. The
counter currents take some
Of them back to where their
ancestors started from The
Pacific current is a new piece
to be fitted into the puzzle"

Coustic Compliment

Congratulations on the
work of your brilliant and
courageous cartooniSt Jim
Bergman. I have long ad-
mired Mr.. Berryman's in
Spired drawings. His subtlety
and crusading zeal shine
through each and every
stroke Of his pen.
A good example is the car
toon on Adlai Stevenson's
advice to Oregonians not to
enter his name in their pri-
mary. Brilliance: The use of
the quill in 1859. Courage:
To make fun of a man who
was defeated but took his de-
featS with grace and dignity.
Subtlety: The listing of the
electoral vote count in 1852
and 1856. Crusading zeal: To
make fun of a man who went
down to defeat at the hands
of an Administration that
rldiculed his ideas during
the campaigns and then
adopted them as policy-but
too late to do America much
good.
Observation-Disclosures!
Admirer.
I would like to comment on
your excellent editorial page
cartoon July 80 showing
Adlai Stevenson holding a
letter saying my Dear
Friends in Oregon: Please do
not enter my name in your
primary. 1t would embarrasS
me. Furthermore, it's some
one else'S turn. Sincerely,
Adlai."
First, we'll enter his name
if we think it'll help him be-
come President. Second, so
he's embarrassed? This con-
dition is temporary and
seldom fatal to a man of
Adlai's aplomb. Third, his
opponents can have their
turn struggling in the pri-
marieS but none of this Al
phonSe-Gaston business can
be allowed to interfere with
the selection of the man
most Democrats (and I think
most others also) want to
be our next President.

Scripps Institution Of Ocea-
biography scientists.
The great submarine river
thus becomes one Of the ma
Jor features Of the worlds
seas and seems to defy laws
OF nature, according to a re-
port by DR.. c. Cd. Iselin OF
the Woods Hole Oceano-
graphic Institute, based on
the Scripps findings.
1t flows at a rate Of about
four feet a second at a depth
OF $50 feet. On the surface
there is no sign Of the great
sea river. Below 1t the water
is moving very slowly in the
opposite direction.
The Woods Hole oceanog-
raphers, DR.. Iselin reports,
have sought for q similar
sub-surface river along the
equator In the Atlantic, but
have found no evidence Of
one. There are several
cams of near-Surface
water flowing westward and
northward in the tropical
Atlantic.
IF a commencement does
exist in the Atlantic" DR..
ISelin says. "it would have
to be very much shorter than
the newly discovered Pacific
current.
Existing theory is quite
incapable of accounting for
this current. It's peculiar
characteristics must be as
ISOLATED with the disappear
ance Of the Coriolis force (the
tendency Of objects to be
thrown of a revolving body
like the earth) at the Equa-
tor. The hydraulic head to
maintain this subsurface,
swift flow is probably sup
piled by the piling up of the
near surface, tropical waters
on the western side Of the
ocean by the trace winds. If
this is true such a current
could not be present in the
Indian ocean where the
winds reverse themselves
