THE CORPS is EXPANDING
Scientists Leave Their Ldbs
To Serve ds Diplomats
BY AMELIA YOUNG
star star writer

washington's diplomatic
corps is currently undergoing
an expansion thoroughly in
accord with this atomic age
Scientific attaches seem to
be turning up all around.
The State Departments
diplomatic list now includes
10 foreign representatives
designated as science officers:
there are at least three
others. not so labelled. who
serve in that capacity, and in
all, about rs of the 81 embas-
sizes and legations have one
or more staff members as
signed to handle matters Of
science and technology.
The Italian and Swiss gov
ernments created scientific
posts at their embassies here
only last fall.
The presence of science en-

Gently, but this branch Of
diplomacy is not brand-new.
The British have had a SCI
entific mission here since
1910 and in fact were the
first to establish one any

Headed by a physical
chemist named E. s. His

mission includes five other
scientists with a variety Of

Government Service
Unlike some Of the other
attaches, who we're drawn
straight from university
posts, labs and private in
dustry, Mr.. HiscockS has been
in government service for
some years. Immediately
before coming here, he was
executive secretary of the
National Physical Laboratory
just outside London, which
roughly corresponds to our
Bureau of Standards.
Some of the science officers
act primarily as liaison Of
ficers, facilitating and CO.
ordinating scientific exchange
between the United States
and their countries. Others
are more concerned with
specific projectS-in nuclear
energy, say-relating to their
own specialties.
For example, the italian
Scientific Counselor, Prof.
Nestore Bernardo Caccia-

he arrived with arrangements
for the completion of Italy's
first big atomic power plant
in ISpra. The reactors for
this plant, which will be for
mally opened tomorrow, were
purchased from an American
firm.
Its establishment was the
beginning Of a nuclear energy
program for Italy, where
there is a great need for
production Of electrical
energy with nuclear fuel.

One night 10 minutes be-
fore the curtain was to go up.
she was practicing in the
wings when she noticed
something that caused her to
stop abruptly. fastening on
to the stage. she lined up the
corps de ballet.
did you girls practice to-
day?" she demanded.
They confessed that they
hadn't.

Iowa. We'll, you will practice

For the next 30 minutes,
while the audience waited
restlessly, she made them go
through their steps-and the
curtain went up 20 minutes
late.
Taste: George Bernard
Shaw and a fellow author
were discussing their views Of
life.

said the other. 1T is TO do

you agree?"
:Not necessarily" said
Shaw. What if their tastes

DEAR DR.. STEINCROHN:
My sister, nearly 81, has been
living with us for nearly IL
years. She has high blood
pressure (210 when she does
not take her pills.. She
drinks a lot of coffee, smokes
cigarettes and gets very little
exercise-she listens to the
radio and watches TV most
of the time. She cannot stick
to a diet and weighs about
200 pounds.
In 1943 at the age of As
she had a stroke - from
which she had a remarkable
recovery. However, she has
been quite nervous and is
worried about her poor
memory. My son and I think
she should go to a specialist
or to Johns Hopkins, not
far away from us in Balti-
more, to have a complete
series of tests.
One reason she puts on
weight is that when she goes
out at night baby-sittipg she
partakes of the numerous
goodies" her clients leave
available for her. Any sug-
gestion will be appreciated.

Fair 7 rode' Raises
Point of Who Gains

argue that it would deny the
consumer the right to shop
around" for the best price
and incidentally, would fat
ten the purses of the big
manufacturers rather than
the small retailer whom it
oStensibly would protect.
Fair trade originated dur
ing the depression, when
price cutting was at a cut
throat level, and there were
strong presSures to help
Sorely beset retailers to keep
their heads above water. But
in the lush postwar days,
when manufacturers and re-
tailerS were making hay as a
result of heavy postwar con-
sumner demands, Federal and
State courts became increas-
ingly critical of the price
fixing aspects of fair trade.
AS a result. it has ceased to
be enforced, with the excep-
ton of a few States.
The fundamental problem
so far as the courts are con-
cerned is that price fixing is
the stock in trade of the mo-
nopolist - and monopoly is
unquestionably unhealthy in
a free-enterpriSe economy. If
price-flxing is permitted in
limited doses, who is to draw
the line as to where it stops?
And why should the law
makers prevent the discount
house and cut-rate store from
cutting prices-and thereby
giving the consumer a better
bargain? Isn't such a policy
discriminating against the
enterprising storekeeper who
completes successfully in the
market place?
These are some Of the
questions the courts will be
asking if the Federal Govern
ment steps into the picture.

Fair trade is a will of the
wisp that periodically beguiles
our law makers and bedevils
the judiciary. It's one of those
detectives that sounds fine
in principle but becomes
troublesome when efforts are
made to enforce it.
Both the House and Senate
are now considering a bill to
permit makers of labeled
goods to establish fair
trade" retail prices and to OBJ
tain relief in the Federal
courts against price cutters.

wants none of it. Robert
Bicks. a department anti
trust expert, told the Senate
Interstate and Foreign Com
merce Committee that it
would require a large number
of enforcement agents and he
predicted that it would drive
price cutting under the

gressmen are sharply split
in their view on the measure.
Backing the bill are many
retailers who are being
squeezed by discount houses
and cut-rate outlets. They
argue that these establish
ments encourage sharp prac-
tice such as enticing custom
ers into stores with striking
bargains, then selling them
poorer quality, high profit
items.
Opponents of the proposed
bill contend it is contrary to
the free enterprise princi-
pie, that competition is the

THE COUNCILS VIEW

Martha seems to have some
mistaken ideas about mar
riage and child rearing and
is driving her husband away
from her because of them.
Certainly 1t is important to
take care of the house, bring
home the paycheck and keep
the family fed. These are
basic, but we all need much
more in order to experience
a full life.
Should Arnold go out
bowling several nights a
week and leave Martha
home alone with the baby?
No, we don't think so. We
think she should get out at
least once a week by herself
to pursue her own interests,
and once a week with her
husband, if this is possible.
