THIS AND THAT

When Temp Jones weighed
only 80 pounds, and was as
thin as the proverbial rail,
he loved all the good things
mentioned above, plus animal
crackers, soda crackers, gin
ger snaps and pretzels.
1t was not these things.
however, that distinguished
young Jones, but the way he
ate them.
For weeks on end, he
would eat nothing but ami
NAL crackers and milk.
His family, friends and re-
lations all thought him mildly
insane, and maybe he was,
but he enjoyed it.
Then, suddenly, for no rea-
son, he would switch over to
soda crackers and milk. Those
were the big crackers COM
monty sold out of barrels in
the corner grocery.
After a run OF several
months, the crackers would
be given the go-by for
ginger snaps.
These were not ordinary
ginger snaps, but the ex-
tremely thin, crisp sort sold
in tin cans.
Three or four months
would go by, and Temp would
switch once more, this time
to pretzels.
With plenty of milk mo
body was afraid of "fallout,
them, the curly pretzels
mildly sailed and served with
a big white pitcher of creamy
milk-Washington has al
ways had the best milk in the
world-Templeton Jones wal
set up for a hearty meal.
AND he never gained ar
ounce. After he had giver
in to the combined pleas o.
his family, and gone back II
a conventional diet, he at
heartily, and still didn'
gain.
Those were the carlo
hydrate days!
Now the dietetic pendulum
has switched to proteins, ant
we are told that unless we &c
from 70 x 100 grams of pro
TEN per day we will suffe
severely.

Jones, as he still sits dow
to crackers and milk.

A gas proof cradle" has
been designed by Army
chemists.
It is intended to protect
babies and small children
against both war gases and
disease germs which might
be released by an enemy
against civilian populations
in another war in which nom
combatants would be in as
much danger as soldiers.
The present design. how
ever, is planned primarily for
protection Of children Of mill
tary personnel at posts where
gas and biological warfare
experiments may be in prog
ress. The work was carried
out in cooperation with the
Civil Defense Administration
which has adopted the idea
for civilians.
The design, as described by
the Army Chemical Corps, is
essentially q portable protec-
tive Enclosure into which in
fants and small children can
be placed at the first alarm.
It is an elongated, tentlike
structure made of flexible
plastic and supported by an
easily erected metal frame.
Necessary oxygen. carbon di-
oxide and moisture inter-
change between the inside
and outside of the protector
and identification of the en-
tering air are accomplished
by means of panels of filter
ing materials installed in the
slanted side walls. One of the
side walls is fitted with Q
clear plastic window to pro-
vide good vision both for the
child and the baby sitter
Easy to Store
A baglike extension pro-
jects from one end of thu
protector to accommodate thu
feet of larger children. A car
rying strap is attached tt
the metal frame. For storage
the protector can be folde'
into a fiat, rectangular shap
and slipped into a fiat cas-
to protect it from moistur
and contamination.
The Chemical Corps, in co
operation with the Fores
Products Laboratory of tn
Department of Agriculture
also has developed a flbe
diffusion board to be bull
into homes for the bette
protection of civilian adult
Somewhat like ordinary tlbe
board, but having charco'
and other added component
the material could be mar
ufactured commercially
large quantities. 1t could
used for construction OF sms
shelters, or as a liner
existing shelters.
1.-The board is so conStruc
ed" says a Chemical Cor
report, that air diffus
through it, with the materi
acting as a filter to take O
solid particles, droplets al
liquids or vapors OF toX
agents. Shelters construct
of this board would act as
barrier for toxic particles b
would allow clear air to pa
through.

About the Anthem

A letter from the gallant
Harvey I. Miller, colonel of
the Marine Corps, protested
the omission from the Star
Spangled Banner of the third
Stanza.
AS a charter member of
the American Legion, George
Washington Post No. /, in the
early days I had the privilege
of sitting in post meetings
with a former official of The
Star, Charles B. Hanford
Henry Hanford'S brother)
who had been a distinguished
ShakeSpearean actor.
Mr.. Hanford had a mag
nificent bass voice. and it was
a treat to hear him recite the
Star Spangled Banner He
made a point of including all
four stanzas. I believe he
retired from the stage be-
cause of physical inflrmity
perhaps arthritis. But he
never lost the magic of a dig
nified, impressive presence
and the carrying quality o.
his wonderful voice.
Some years ago Senator
KeyeS of New Hampshire
had reproduced a facsimil.
of the national anthem il
Francis Scott Keys hand
writing, of which I have
copy, and the third stanz;
appears in that.
A somewhat common erro
is made in the rendition o
the first stanza, as the orig
inal shows that the lin
should read "And the rocket
red glare, the bomb burstin
in air." the two nouns bein
in the singular, instead of tn
plural as usually printed.
Congratulations to you an
Col. Miller.

Bats may constitute a big
reservoir Of virus diseases TO
which they themselves are
immune.
They harbor the organisms
in their blood. These are
passed on to mosquitoes
which pass them on to man.
Both the extent OF the
reservoir and reasons for the
immunity of the flying
mammals, in some respects
rather close to humans. are
being explored by biologists
of the Army Chemical Corps.
From the research. they hope.
may come new techniques for
producing immunity in hui
mans.
Basic research has shown.
say the Army doctors at
Fort DERRICK, Md, the corps
biological warfare center, that
when bats are inoculated
with either Venezuelan equine
or japanese B encephalitis
they build up an extremely
high concentration of the
virus but do not develop any
symptoms of the disease. The
concentration is built up over
a three-day period, main
tanned for 26 days, and then
quickly disappears. This i'm
mune response of a virus host
is not known elsewhere.
Bats Related to Man
One presumption at Fort
DERRICK is that when mos
uuitoes and bats have a COM
mon habitat the insect in
oculates the bat with a rel
atively harmless concentra-
ton of the virus. Three days
later it would take from the
bat high concentration
sufficient to infect man OF
. some other mammal.
! The present study deals with
: the reaction of bats to othel
| viruses which produce human
/ diseases. Bats, the research
erS point out, are more closet!
: related to man, apes ant
8 monkeys than to any othe
$ animals on the evolutionar!
! scale. In the past, however
t they generally have beef

c mails, although it may gen
d orally be assumed that thei
a pathological reactions woulu
t be more similar to those o
S man than would those Of rat
or rabbits.

Seoul VS.. Tokyo

The common sense" which
you call for to bring about a
mutually satisfactory settle
ment of the current dispute
between my government and
Japan is the very element
which is noticeably missing in
the actions Of the Japanese
officials. / think that your
leadership might have re-
ceived a negative impression
from your editorial C"Seoul-
Tokyo Squabble," February
.18) because of the lack OF
proper statement of our posi-
ton and full elaboration OF
the facts.
Yes, it is true that there
are some 100000 Koreans liv-
ing in Japan. most of whom
are impoverished. But this is
because they originally had
been conscript labor and had
been forced into virtual slav-
cry in Japan before and dur
ing World War II. The Jap
anese never fulfilled their
pledge of compensation. The
impoverishment of these Ko-
reans stems from the basic
neglect and the Japanese
failure to keep their promises.
1t could well be that the
many thousands of our Ko-
rean residents in Japan are
subject to all sorts of Com
munist presSures. No one can
be sure of how "free" their
choices really are.
1t is very obvious to see
how the japanese repatria-
ton proposal could seriously
threaten the Republic OF
Korea. 1t is a known fact
that the Communist puppet
regime of North Korea is now
suffering a severe manpowel
shortage. A forced repatria-
ton of tens of thousands Of
Koreans to North Kores
would not only be a valuable
weapon directed against tht
Republic of Korea but agains
the United Nations commanC
as well.
A more constructive Solu
ton to the problem would b
for the japanese officials t,
honestly shoulder their rea
!. responsibilities, make prope
arrangements for the long
due compensation and hal
the determinations agains
, the Korean residents.
You conclude your editoris
| by urging that American Gin
f1uence be directed towar
persuading Mr.. Rhee." How
, ever, American public opinio
should be directed toward in
f1uencing the Japanese Off
Gals, who provoked the crisi
by their unilateral declars

Industry Pays Its Way


AS a citizen of Montgomery
County l am deeply con-
cerned by the inexpert opin-
ions contained in recent
letter to The Star by Pat
Holt, relating to industrial
parks and development in
the county.
The basic problems which
must be faced by suburban
areas is that the largest IN
dustry in the Washington
area Federal Government)
is a non-taxpayer. Therefore,
these counties are in the un-
enviable position of having
to provide all county services,
schools and other community
facilities for their residents
on an income base from
which one of the props is
missing. Fiscal authorities in
the counties who must deal
with budgets have become
increasingly aware of the
necessity for additional new
tax-producing industries to
assist in balancing their
budget without having re-
course to continually increas-
ing tax rates levied on resi-
dents and small businesses.
The fallacies of Mr. Hollis
letter are too numerous to
mention, but I would like to
point out a couple:
Cd To suggest that new in
dustries must match existing
family incomes in counties
overlooks the fact that one
out of every three suburban
families has second Garner.
Therefore, if an electronicS
plant employing women and
paying an average wage of
$4,000 a year were to locate
in Montgomery County, it
would provide a family hav-
ing an income of $4,000, an
income of $4,000 with the
wife working. Therefore, new
industries in the suburban
counties really represent an
economic gain in terms of
additions to family income
as well as surplus tax reve-
nue. to the county from the
property.
% The question Of
whether there are people EN-.
ployed or unemployed is mo-
the significant question fol
Montgomery County. Tit
question is whether Mont
gomery County is to be onl.
a bedroom county with al
of us paying property ant
other taxes while other jur
iSdictionS would have all tn

system would penalize Mont

the history of Liberia as an in

that time Negroes from the

country has made steady
progress.
