scored 31O5 points in % separate
categories. The publication re-
ceived nine ratings of excellent"

ratings of "good," and one rating
of "fair" in such separate features
as News Balance, Creativity, Style,
News Leads, Copyreading, Edi-

Mr.. Alexander expressed satisfac-

"While Pm naturally disappoint-

in a larger enrolment group re-
ceived a comparable rating; and
five. from either similar or larger
enrolment groups, received lower
ratings.

Salute to SDX

For several thousand newspaper
men, and for large number who are
preparing themselves for careers in an
exacting profession, this is a week of
historic significance. Fifty years ago, 10
students Of journalism at DePauw Uni
verS1ty in Indiana established the Sigma
Delta Chi fraternity. The broad purpose
OF these founders was to promote "better
Journalism; their first approach was to
seek a relationship between student and
practitioner. Time itself helped provide
an answer to this search, when the stu
dents OF those earlier years became pro-
fesSionalS themselves. To q dozen or
more undergraduate chapters were added
new ones among working journalists.
Today, the fraternity has So professional
chapters in addition to 10 chapters in
colleges and universities.
On its 50th anniversary, Sigma Del
ia Chi has grown not only in size but in
its constructive influence on problems
related to the public welfare It has be-
come an alert and dedicated champion
of freedom of the press and of the ethical.
standards which make that freedom
meaningful. Four charter members of
that first chapter at DePauw are among
those gathering to mark the anniversary
in indianapolis this week. They merit
well done" for the project which they
launched a half-century ago.

take what they want, plus something
extra for bargaining purposes. On this
basis the aggrieved party is confronted
with fait accompli, and the suggestion
that compromise" is fair resolution.
From the aggressor's standpoint, 1t is
magnanimous to offer some, or even all,
of the extra as a contribution to the
compromise"
Communist China is trying the trick
today on India. In recent weeks, and
perhaps over an even longer period
before the outside world became aware
of events, the Red Chinese have been
pushing militarily across the mountain
jungle frontiers of India proper. They
have done this in two areas-one in the
so-called Northeast Frontier Agency and
the other some hundreds of miles west
in the Ladakh province Of Kashmir. In
doing so, they have ignored an Indian
jurisdiction that has prevailed for APP
proximately forty-flve years in the
northeast and even longer in the Kash-
mir region. They have, in one incident
alone, killed or captured a score of
Indian border police.
Cautious even in his anger, midas
Prime Minister Nehru has protested
vehemently against the Chinese agrees
sions while offering to negotiate on the
basis of the long prevailing frontiers.
Peiping's answer reflects mixture of
arrogance and cunning. Signed by Pre-
mier Chou En-lai, it charges the Indian
leader with disregarding the "bare facts"
on the question of boundaries and the
truth on the circumstances of the major
border clash It accuses Mr.. Nehru, fur
ther, Of an attitude extremely harmful"
to friendly relations between the two
countries. And it proposes, finally, a
meeting between the two premiers-
after certain troop Withdrawals.
1t Is in this latter respect that
Peiping is employing the fait accomrli
technique, with its suggestion that Red
forces forty miles inside Ladakh should
pull back only slightly more than twelve
miles while Indian troops withdraw by
the same diStance-deeper into Kashmir.
Initial reports from New Delhi indi-
cate that Mr.. Nehru may agree to per-
Sonal negotiation, but not while Indian
territory is under Chinese occupation.
Premier Chou En-lai said his govern
ment is willing to give consideration"
to a wider demilitarized zone. Mr..
Nehru should demand this as a mini
mum price for his own willingness to sit
down with those who have dictated tho
recent aggresSions against his country
as well as threatening the peace of all
South Asia.

Poy-os-You-Go Plan

Governor Rockefeller had a few
words to say to the Economic Club of
New York before heading westward to
test the political winds, and what he
had to say makes pretty good reading.
Reviewing his efforts to put New
York'S economic house in order, the Gov
ernor introduced himself as a pay-aS-
you-go man. He expects to recommend
to the State Legislature this coming year
"a balanced budget on pay-aS-you-go
basis" And he thinks that what is good
for New York would be good for the
National least as far as businesslike
management of governmental affairs is
concerned.
Mr.. Rockefeller gives the back of his
hand to that economic school which
advocates purchasing power for pros
perity' program of Government spend
ing, imitation and taxes that repress
investment. Instead, he thinks we can
and he thinks we should strive for faster
economic growth "along sound free en-
terpriSe lines" If we will achieve this
faster growth, and also hold down rising
costs and price imitation, the New York
Governor offers this forecast:
Under our present per cent growth
rate, average family income will rise so
per cent in the next ten years, from about
$500 now to $9,750. But at rate of
growth of per cent (which he thinks is
attainable] the average family income
could rise half again that much-from
$4,000 to over $11 400 in 1870. And on
"a Az vyon fOr
per cent expansion of all government
services. including defense. at tax rates
Federal. State and locals per cent
under current levels.
This sounds a bit as though the
Governor is pulling rabbits out of hat
that used to belong to the New Dealers.
But maybe not. At any rate, he denies
that he is living on Cloud 9. And he
presents in skeleton form a six-point
program which he says will bring about
the necessary increase in rate of eco
nonlic growth, and keep us well ahead
of Mr.. KhruShchev'S Russia for a long
time to come.
OF course, this is not the first time
that a presidential aSpirant, declared
or otherwise, has painted an intriguing
picture OF the better life to come. And
the American people, having been shot
at so often from both the right and
the left, may be getting a little gum
shy. Nevertheless, Governor Rockefeller
makes it sound good, and we suspect
that quite few people will be listening
to him as he develops his thesis between
now and G. o. P. convention time.

Mailing a Lie

In denouncing Fidel Castro'S efforts
to impute responsibility to the United
States for the bombing" of Havana, the
State Department, while staying within
the bounds Of diplomatic usage, has
come close to calling a spade spade
or lie lie. And it is about time.
Our latest protest was touched of
by the publication of a pamphlet by
the Cuban Ministry of State which &C
cuSeS the United States of permitting
planes to leave its territory to lombard
Havana, killing two and wounding As"
This is typical of Cuban accusa-
tions which the State Department calls
inaccurate, malicious and misleading"
The pamphlet, 100000 copies of which
have been printed for world distribution,
Is described as offensive"
All of this grows out of the October
81 incident when plane dropped leaf
lets over Havana. The plane took of
from Florida, without this Governments
knowledge, and was flown by Major
Diaz LAM, formerly chief of Castro'S
air force, who resigned and fled to the
United States, charging that Commu-
nistS had infiltrated the Cuban govern
ment. This leafiet raid was wrong, and
every effort should be made and is being
made to prevent recurrence. But the
incident itself was inconsequential as
compared to the flagrantly dishonest
versions of it which are being spread by
the Cuban government.
The Cuban police said at the time
that plane had flown over Havana,
dropping literature but no bombs. The
casualties occurred, according to the
Cuban police, when groups of armed
men in cars sped through the streets,
shooting and tossing hand grenades.
This police version was public
knowledge when Fidel Castro, on Octo-
Der rs, accused our country of permit
ting planes to bomb" Cuba. He knew
this was not true then, and he knows
1t isn't true now. But he and his asso-
ciates continue nevertheless to poison

Weird Effects of Psycho-Goses
BY THOMAS R. HENRY

Newest additions to the
arsenal Of war are the psy-
cho-gases.
Some of them, at least,
make folks temporarily crazy.
The mind may be filled with
the weirdest sort Of decisions
which cause the weirdest sort
Of behavior. But the victim
sees nothing wrong with the
way he is acting and others,
similarly affected. see nothing
peculiar about him.
Mai. Gen. william M.
Greasy, former chief chem
ical officer Of the Army, illus
trates a possible effect with
this story.
One Monday morning q
man went to see a friend in
a hospital. The patient was
in bed with both legs and
several ribs broken, and COW

night?" he asked his friend.

does under the influence of
psycho-gases seems perfectly
normal to everybody else in

Highway Indecision

One OF the most severe and unfair
effects Of the huge superhighway pro-
grams being conducted in American
cities is the uncertainty which confronts
property owners as the result of delays
in settling specific highway routes.
These uncertainties frequently can't be
avoided, and that is bad enough. When
they are compounded by inadequate
planning and faulty decisions, they are
inexcuSable. This seems to be the case
in the present confusion over a route
for the inner loop freeway near the
Francis Junior High School in Foggy
Bottom.
AS originally planned by theDistrict
Highway Department, the multi-lane
freeway would have passed in front
Of the Francis Scholar impact pro-
tested both by the Board of Education
and by private property owners. Last
February, acting on the advice of high
way officials who presumably had in
veStigated the feasibility and desirability
of such route, the Commissioners for
mally approved new plan which would
swing the road behind the school and
across some park property. Now, the
highway officials say, they might go
ahead in front of the school after all,
and they cite lot of mumbo jumbo
about the failure of park officials to
approve the alternate scheme. Such
complications might well exist. But if
they do, they should have been settled
before the Commissioners acted, instead
of misleading the community into be-
leving the action had some meaning.

TEL AVIV-On his first visit
to Israel, an American is
likely to feel that he is sud-
denly caught up in a strange
mixture of two incongruous
atmoSpheres. All around him,
throughout the relatively
Lilliputian length and
breadth Of the country. are
the place names and physical
remnants of Biblical antiqu-
ity. All around him, too,
is machine-age modernity of
the most advanced kind.
Here the ancient past and
the pulsating present come
together as nowhere else in
the world, and the sight of
the union tends to invite
philosophical speculation
about the story of man and
the fountainheads of his
civilization.
But today's Israel, which
has been aptfy called "Old
Newland," is much too busy
to dwell contemplatively and
at length on the distant
yesterdays that have lighted
the way to its present posi-
ton as one of the youngest
members of the family of
nations. It was established as
a state only IL years ago,
when it had a Jewish popula-
ton of about $4,000. Since
then, as a result of immigra-
ton from all parts of the
globe, that number has nearly
trebled, and now the coun-
try serves as home for no
fewer than 2 million men,
women and children, includ-
ing some $4,000 Arabs, 49,
900 Christians and $1,000
Druzes. 1t is a small place,
with a total area of just a
trif1e more than 1890 square
miles. Yet, within its borders,
surrounded though it is by
hostile Lebanon, Syria, Jor-
dan and Egypt, it has been
and still is performing mir
acles of agricultural and
industrial advancement, not
to mention progress in the
fields Of education and SCI
ence.
The statistics on that score
leave no room for doubt that
Israel is the dynamo of the
Middle East. 1t is a land on
the go, and to watch it at

and that if we use them for
it, we do so only at our own
expense.
The modern monograph
and its discs come in right
here.
When one is listening to
this type of music, one seldom
uses the eyes.
1t is said, on good authori-
ty, that people eat all the
time while watching TV, but
seldom eat when listening to
radio.
Just why this is. nobody
seems to know.
Anyway, listening to music
will rest the eyes.
Old Temp Jones once spent
a whole summer doing Moth
ing but listening to his pho
nograph. and was so success
full in its use as an eye rem
edy that he took of his
glasses and has never worn
them since.
Not all can be as success
full as Jones, but all can imi-
tate him.
The third thing any one
can do to help his eyesight
is to glance, while reading or
writing or sewing, at the out
side world.
These rapid asides not only
give the eyes the restful
green's and whites and blues
of nature, in all her glorious
certainty, but insure that one
will look short and long at
the same time.
Eye exercise, if you will.
but all in the interest Of rest
and relaxation. A great deal
has been said in recent years
about relaxation, but it need
not all be chemical. Com
mon sense remains one of the
best OF all relaxing agents
still.

These facts and figures, Of
course, constitute only the
sketchiest sort Of outline Of
what the Israeli economy has
achieved since 1913. The saga
is much too big, much too
sweeping and dramatic, to be
summarized in a brief space
with haphazard statistical
data. Like that of our own
American pioneers, it is a
saga which over the years
will almost certainly be dealt
with. in both f1ctional and
documentary form, in a great
outpouring Of books. And
this literature. as no short
article can do, undoubtedly
will depict in detail not
merely the country's produc-
tive hustle and hustle, but
also the extraordinary char
acter, spirit and drive of the
people directly involved-the
people Of booming Tel Aviv,
Of beautiful Haifa, of the
capital of Jerusalem, Of the
small towns, of the little vii
lagos and Of the hundreds of
farm settlements, including
notably the kibbutsim, which
are fascinating o m m u n e S
where collectivization is based
on a kind of marriage or
synt h esis of Zionism and
MarxiSm.
Conceivably, as some politi-
cal experts still hold, the
creation Of modern Israel
may have been a mistake for
which a terrible price may
yet have to be paid. But a
visitor to the country leaves
it with the distinct impress
sion that it is there to stay.
In any event, its remarkable
people, who are constantly
being threatened with ami
hilation from places like
Cairo, and who have learned
to dwell with tension as casu-
ally as if it were a phase Of
the Mediterranean weather,
seem altogether confident
of their future-even to the
point of feeling that there
will be an eventual peace
settlement under which they
and the encircling Arabs will
be able to live and prosper
together as good neighbors.
The profound changes that
have occurred in mans story
since Biblical times suggest
that this hope may not be
forlorn.
