Live and Let Live

Can these perennial critics
of private and parochial
schools ever realize that such
schools save the taxpayers
millions of dollars annually?
Do they really want to share
the burden of educating these
millions Of children now be-
ing educated by parents who
are carrying a double tax bur-
den. or do they simply want
to see children receive no re-
ligious instruction?
Our country has already
suffered untold harm from
the lack Of religious instruc-
ton for our children. True
religion must be a part of
ones daily life, not separate
from it, not a mood or atti-
tude to be affected one day in
the week and put aside the
other six days.

TOYING With Science

I am in complete agree
ment with Senator Hum
phrey's contention that an
alarming percentage of the
Nations talent and brain
power are being Squandered
in frivolous enterprises and
nonessential research. Evil
IDENTIFY the message that we
are engaged in the most dead
ly competitive struggle in our
history is not getting through.
There is the recently publi-
cized example of a West
Coast toy manufacturer who,
by the incentive of higher
salaries, has taken scientists
and engineers from key posi-
tionS in our missile produc-
ton program. These men are
now designing realistic toy
rocket launching platforms
and missiles for children in
stead Of concentrating their
knowledge on the more i'm
portant effort of closing the
dangerous gap in our ICBM
schedules. This, I submit.
falls into the same category
as the engineering talent
that is designing bigger and
better tail fins for our new
cars.
If the price we eventually
may have to pay for this
folly were not so high, the
situation might be as ludi-
crouS as the administrations
insistence that a balanced
budget for the fiscal year
rates a higher priority than
planning for long-range sur
vival. Our concept of fat and
easy living, coupled with
postponement of vital issues,
may afford future archeolo-
gists a record similar to that
which told the story OF a
previous Babylon.
Much of the current con-
fusion and lack of objectivity
are the direct result Of limp
national leadership. Russian
automobile design and pro-
duction may seem crude by
our standards, but while some
of our scientists devote their
skills to the development OF
a NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. toy
missile, their opposite num-
bers in the Soviet Union have
managed to place a rocket in
orbit around the sun.

We all must eat. Real
people, the two-legged kind,
we mean, have alearned how
to make taking food a sort
of art.
We no longer bend low over
the plate and gobble as fast
as we can.
In fact, some astute per-
sons talk more than they eat,

some of us grow FESTIVE, wish

Well, it takes all kinds of
people to make a world, and
the same goes for birds. 1t
takes many kinds of them to
make a garden and to make
it right.
We have always thought
the word garden" a sort of
highbrow word. The birds
know nothing of it. at least.
Just any old plain rear
yard is good enough for them,
if they are not afraid Of you.
The way to get them on
your side is to feed them.

The birds are suspicious

those other two legged
things, human people. Heav-

to be.
We can allay some Of this
ingrained suspicion, however.
if we put out food for them.
Many kind-hearted people
think the only time it is
necessary to put out food
for the birds is when it is
cold, preferably when there
is snow on the ground. This
is all to the good, but actually
birds need food all the time.
Just as we do. Some species
manage to huddle Indoors,
as you might say. when it
is bitter cold. That is, they
remain roosting on lodges
and parapets and the like;
a degree or two Of heat, fl
tering out to them, is enough
to make them comfortable.
On really bad days there may
not be as many birds to feed
as on comparatively mild
days, and If we confine our
help to bad days alone we
miss much pleasure and the
birds needed foodstufis, a.

sist on putting it, when

After all, we don't want to
get away from foods. With
out things to eat, birds could
not be almost human, and
humans could not be the
birds" they often are.

to the fact that the ice is

Berlin Danger, praises
Montana's Senator Mans
fields responsible and con-
structive contribution to the
debate on the Berlin-German
problem" According to the
Senator's February IL speech,
the "key question" is how
soon Germany will be united.
He said: And there are
compelling historic and prac-
teal reasons which require
that the unity of that nation
begin to emerge without de-
lay if there is to be peace in
Europe and in the world"
Let's look at the historic
reasons" Nationalism lacked

brought it to Germany.
Existing dualisms included

many that had not. ProteS-

Napoleonic and dynastic
Germany, and the latter was
divided between Prussia and
Austria. There was popular
support for Austria, none for
Prussia.
Yet, by blood and iron, "
Bismarck imposed a PruSsian
dictatorship, an artificial
creation, excluding Austria.
He used his immense polit-
ical genius to prevent any
liberal revolution such as
had transformed England
and France. The body of
Germany was unified, the
soul was not: East and West
tore at it. The conflicts be-
tween body and soul and

calamity for Europe and for

Senator Mansfield, "as

Anthem .Editinq

At divine services at one Of
our naval bases a few weeks
ago, turning through the
official hymnal, I was sur
priSed to note that on the
page devoted to THE Star
Spangled Banner" the third
verse of the national anthem
did not appear.
Since then I have checked
on various books of popular
old songs only to find that
there, too, the third verse
had been omitted.
Inquiry among people who
should know the reason for
this omission brought the in
telligence that the verse had
been dropped because it was
not very complimentary to
England.
Like many another loyal

Antarctic Oasis Has Varying Lakes
By THOMAS R. HENRY

There are both fresh and
salt lakes in the Antarctic
oasis" regions.
The first landing on the So
called Bunger oasis was made
on a large lake in the 500
square kilometer iceless area
by an American Navy flyer
early in 1913. It was open
water. All around was an in
finite expanse Of ice.
The oasis lakes have been
subjected TO a special study
by Russian International
Geophysical Year explorers
who have investigated the
three great iceless areas on
the South Pole continent.
Essentially, they found, all
three are deserts. Says their
report, summarized by the
Department Of Commerce;
There are practically no
rivers. Actually the whole
river system of the Bunger
oasis consists of some hardly
noticeable little rivulets flow
ing out from under infrequent
snow patches. The VeStfold
oasis especially is poor in run
ming water. A large area has
neither snow nor rivuletS.
Here and there, however, are
small brooks draining the
melt water of the ice sheet
These form the fresh water
lakes"
Many of the lakes, how
ever, have a varying degree of
Salinity, the Russians found.
This is especially high in the
dryest of the ice-free areas.
the Vestfold, where some
fairly large lakes have bit
ter-salt" water.
OF Relief Origin
"These saltwater lakes"
says the Russian report, ARE
mostly of relict origin. The
bitter salt lakes of the Vest
fold are remnants of sea in
let's, which were separated
from the sea by a rising of
the coasts. The negative
moisture balance and the alb
sence of water inflow from
outside caused the lakes to
dry out and resulted in a
concentration of salts.
AT present the water level
of some lakes is 80 to 40
meters below sea level and
the salinity of the lakes is
more than six times more
than that of the sea. The
composition of salts, however,
is slightly different. The per-
centage of chlorine, espe-
cially. is greater than in sea
water.
"A portion of the salts al
ready has been separated as
a sediment and has been de-
posted in the form of layers
along the lake shores. Such
lakes can freeze only at tenn
peratureS below -18 to 20
centigrade. They apparently
do not freeze, even in winter
Only occasionally a thin ice
crust appears for a short
time. The temperature at the
bottom of one of these lakes,
which is rs feet deep. was
about IS centigrade during
the daytime in December (the
Antarctic summer, but 81 C
at the surface.
in winter the lakes are
covered with a so to 60-inch
layer of ice. This ice is trans
parent. Speckled with numer-
Gus closed heat cracks, and
has large numbers of air
bubbles. The ice cover on the
large lakes begins to form at

Second READING in Albany

The election returns in New York
State last November obviously have been
reread by the Republican members of
the Albany Legislature What the fig
ures said last fall was that Nelson A.
Rockefeller had "won big" in his first
bid for public office. Their message in
the months since is that Mr. Rockefeller
not only is Governor of the Empire State
by title-he Is its chief executive in
fact, the policy-maker for his party and
political figure of great potential
accomplishment on the national stage.
Mr. Rockefeller has demonstrated
these qualities on battlefield of his
own choosing, and in a major engage
ment rather than in a minor skirmiSh.
Tackling the top problem in his State
lit is also the top problem in many other
States and In the Nation) he has won
an impressive and conclusive victory.
The problem, in word, is money-in
the case of New York mounting State
debt, ever-increasing demands for well
fare and social benefits of many varieties
and tax structure that would not pro-
vide enough funds to pay the bills. The
Governors answer was one that was
simple to devise, but one which political
officeholders are traditionally reluctant
to propose or even to support. 1t was,
in brief, to program the spending be-
lieved essential, and which in fact had
been promised in his campaign, and to
couple it with revenue-raising formula
that would spell solvency for the State
government.
In Republican controlled LegiSla-
ture, it was Republican votes that Mr..
Rockefeller needed. He could hope for
no Democratic support on his tax pro-
poSals, and he received none. To meet
the threat of rebellion in G. o. P. ranks,
he compromised moderately on minor
details only. For the rest, he convinced
his party associates there would be no
backing down and reaction to public
appeals via television and the press in
dicated that his personal popularity had
not suffered because of his stand 1t
was winning display of political skill
and courage, combined with an unyield-
ing sense of fiscal responsibility. The
State Of New York is beneficiary and
Mr.. Rockefeller may be, also.
