ToIerobIe Risk

One of the characteristics OF our
time is the quite understandable but
highly exaggerated fear which many
people feel In connection with radioac-
tive fallout from nuclear testing. A case
in point involves the wheat harvested in
Minnesota during the past year. Some
samples of the crop have shown high
content of strontium-90, and this has
aroused a considerable amount Of mis-
giving. The Atomic Energy Commission,
however, has given drm assurances
that there is no reason for such mis-
giving and that alarmist interpretations
to the contrary are groundless.
Thus, according to the Aces DR..
Willard r. Libby, the wheat in question
is perfectly safe for eating purposes.
1t Is so safe, in fact, that man would
have to consume ton Of 1t at one sit
ting to INCEST the maximum permissible
dosage Of radioactive strontium-90. This
figure speaks for itself as measure Of
how excessive fallout fears can be. and 1t
ought to be kept in mind as sort
of perspective lending Offset to future
scary stories about nuclear tests. OF
course, as DR.. Libby said the other day
to the Joint Congressional Atomic Com
mittee, there is nothing good about the
radioactivity unleashed by such tests.
Nevertheless, as long as the testing it
self is not carried to extremes, the haz-
ards involved will pose no acute threat
to human health.
Some sound advice on this subject
has been offered by Dr.. Lauriston s. Tay-
lor, chief of the Atomic and Radiation
Division of the National Bureau of Stand
ards. AS he has put it, the problem Of
living with radioactivity "centers about
a philosophy to which mankind is well
accustomed; it may be called philoS-
ophy of risk" In all forms Of progress,
such as that represented by the auto
mobile and the airplane-certain haz-
ards have been accepted as price worth
paying for the BENEFITS derived, and nu-
clear energy falls very definitely within
this category. That is why the risk-tak-
ing it entails, measured in relation to
the great good 1t can do for mankind, is
altogether tolerable and even necessary.

No White House Alarm

The President was in let'S-calm-
down mood as he. talked to the press
In his most recent news conference.
He thinks the l5-minute ground
alert being maintained by our Strategic
Air Force is all right in the existing
circumstances. We will go over to an
air alert when the Russians acquire a
significant missile capability.
Mr.. Eisenhower spoke out strongly
against any general mobilization at this
time. He said that to his mind this
would not only be futile; 1t would be
"the most disastrous thing we could do"
On its face, this is in sharp conflict with
testimony from General Maxwell Taylor,
Army Chief of STAFF, which was made
public last week. General Taylor said
we have all the strength necessary to
cope with Berlin crisis-provided we
mobilize it in time on a national basis.
Perhaps the two men were not talk
ing about the same type Of general
mobilization.
The President, also spoke in some
what cryptic terms on the matter Of
who strikes the first blow. His remarks
In this respect, as we interpret them,
boil down to reafirmaton Of our policy
that we will not push the attack button
unless and until we receive clear evi-
dence that an assault against US is in
the making. In his reference to our
"very great and expensive intelligence
forces" Mr. Eisenhower may have been
limiting that we would expect warning
OF an enemy attack before their bomb
erS and missiles were in the air. In any
event, he does not favor too much talk
about the strike-first problem because
this tends to create more misapprehen-
sion than understanding.
In summary, the President obviously
was trying to cool of and reassure
the American people. This soothing
approach viii not do US any good II
war should erupt over the Berlin con-
troversy, and Mr.. Eisenhower knows
this. as well as anyone. Therefore, it
must be assumed-and hoped-that the
necessary military preparations are be-
ing made, despite the reasSuring front
which is being presented.

Resolving Two Troubles

Two events Of the past week end
served to dramatic the changing status
Of Britain In the eastern Mediterranean.
One was the triumphal return Of Arch
bishop Makarios. spiritual and political
leader Of the Greek Cypriots. to the
island Of Cyprus. The other was the
signing in Cairo of British Egyptian
agreement settling financial claims aris-
ing out Of the British invasion Of Suez
in 1856.
In sense, both events At the pat
tern of declining power and prestige Of
Britain in an area that once was con-
sidered a vitality strategic part Of the
lifeline Of Empire. In another sense,
however, the two events properly might
be considered turning point in this
decline-representing perhaps recap
ture Of some Of the prestige, II not the
sheer power, that is associated histori-
cally with British craftsmanship And
1t may well be, In these days of fast
changing concepts Of military security
and communications, that prestige built
upon reciprocally respected relationships
is an element Of greater power than
isolated garrisons on unfriendly foreign
soil.
The Cyprus issue, arising primarily
out Of Greek Cypriot urge for self
determination such as has been exer-
cised in many other parts Of the postwar
world, grew to dangerous dimensions
under British policy Of repression by
force. In the process. Greece and Tur-
key became bitterly estrahged and Greek
and Turkish communities on the island
were virtually at war with each other.
It was at the darkest extremes Of this
conflict that Athens and Ankara, en-
couraged by refreshingly enlightened
attitude in London, Joined to work out
a solution-political independence for
the island, protection Of the interests
of each national community, and preser-
walton Of Britain's right to maintain its
military bases It was symbolic of the
clearing atmosphere that the first per-
son to greet Archbishop Makarios. re-
turning from three years of British
enforced exile, was the British Governor
General, and that the prelate's first
appeal was for wholehearted co-opera-
ton between the Greek and Turkish
communities. There are problems re-
naming on Cyprus. primarily political
and economic, but there is every likeli-
hood they viii be solved in peace rather
than by blood-letting.
In Cairo and London there is COM
parable expectation that the irritating
aftermaths Of the Suez misadventure
will disappear with implementation Of
the new agreement. Both sides have
been receptive to restoration Of normal
diplomatic relations, but without loss Of
face. Terms of the settlement. long
time in the making, clear the way for
this step at a future date.
With its presence and position thus
clarified in two spots where 1t has most
recently been unwelcome, Britain should
beneft materially from an improved
Mediterranean climate.

The Mighty Has Fallen

For many years the politicians said
1t couldn't be done, but now it has hap
pened. Maryland's veteran political
parsonage, Thomas D'Alesandro, who
for many years was considered unbeat-
able at the polls, has just lost his second
straight election contest within four
months-and to political novice, too.
These are bad times for what had been
the all-powerful D'Alesandro organiza-
ton in Baltimore.
The novice in Baltimore's lively po-
litical picture is J. Harold Grady, a reti-
cent young former FBI agent who has
been picked by an overwhelming Demo-
cratic primary vote to run against Re-
publican nominee Theodore r. McKeldin
for Mayor of Baltimore. If the results
Of the Democratic primary are indica-
tive of Mr.. Grady's appeal to voters gen.
orally, former Governor McKeldin will
have real fight on his hands.
Only last November Mr.. D'AleSandro
was defeated by Senator J. Glenn Beall,
Republican, whom he had sought to
unseat. This was severe jolt in an
election marked by Democratic land
slide for most Maryland offices. Prior
to that setback he had compiled an
unbroken record of % election victories
for posts ranging from member of Con-
gress and of the Maryland General
Assembly to City Council and Mayor.
Despite the November defeat, gambling
circles had laid better than 2-to-1 odds
that he would be reelected mayor. But
the persuasive ways of Mr.. Grady,
backed up by his fine record as States
Attorney, won out over the D'Alesandro
forces. 1t was triumph that seems to
put the skidS under Mr.. D'Alesandro as
a political boss to be reckoned with in
the near future.

SILVER SPRING. Md.
Dear Sir:
What do you do with old
letters?
II read some of the letters
I have received. and they
sound so silly. especially the
letters from Billy, the dear.
II would like to get rid of
them. despite their sentiment
tai valve. for fear somebody
might find them.
II tried burning them, but
do you know they wouldn't
burn?
They resisted the flames
as II they were made of con-
crete. I took some. Of them
out, an hour later, after the
FIRE had died down, and you
could read every word inside

know why criminals and
others cannot destroy the
Important Papers.
MY question still is:
How do you get rid Of old
letters?
"Cheerfully, SALLY L."
The thing to do, Sally, is
to tear them carefully into
small pieces.
The small pieces will burn.
Or they may be thrown into
the wastebasket. 1t is hard
to imagine anybody putting
them together again.
Maybe detectives. since
they have to do so many dis
agreeable things.
Templeton Jones. who gets
many nice letters from many
nice people. has this very
problem every so often.
When his Office desk and
his locker pile high with let
tiers, he wonders what to do
with them.
All are read. all appreciated.
but in time they become a
problem.
Now, one way to dispose Of
old letters is very easy-just
push them of on the floor,
and let the cleanup crew
wreStle with them.
This method never APP
pealeo to Jones.
He does not think q letter
ought to be thrown out like
an old paper Dag.
A letter Is o life.
A letter is q human being
A letter Is often hope, JOY
and happiness.
Such things, one does not
cast away like trash.
Jones tried putting his old
letters away in barrels in the
attic, but there were too
many Of them, and the rush.
ing years had a way Of max
ing them seem redundant,
or something.
So he, too, tried burning
them in a trash burner in
the yard.
The first time he tried it,
he learned what you have
learned, Sally.
He found they simply
wouldn't burn.
If they had been made of
asphalt or concrete, indeed.
they might have melted at
least, but not letters.

Letters. when packed to-
gether. form a mass that is
almost flreproof,
They char on the edges. It
is true. but the inside, where
the writing is, remains white
and legible.
y 80
When a war threatens, and
agents from foreign coun-
tries know they will have to
leave, they have this same
problem.
They must dispose of the
confidential letters and the
high-level correspondence.
They all discover that you
must tear the letters care
fully apart. into very small
pieces, before you can burn
them.
So here is a tip for all
persons with old letters to
get rid Of:
Get yourself "a wastepaper
basket. and sit down with
your pile of letters.
A few can be torn across
with both hands. but most
OF them will have to be taken
out of the envelopes before
they can be torn.
Then carefully tear up the
name and address, first.
Then tear up the letter,
being sure that it is in small
enough pieces to make it
impossible for even the most
determined busybody to put
them together again.
When the basket is filled
with torn pieces, shake them
all up good. and take them
out and dump them in a
trash burner, one with a lid
so the small fragments will
not blow away in the breeze
created by the flame.
In this way. even the old
est love letters can be dis
posed of so that nobody
coming along later Will
laugh.
