News From Senator
j. Allen Frear

Congress has begun a new week
with its interests again focused
largely on international events both
In Europe and the Middle East. AS
discussions and negotiations con-
tinue over the Berlin crisis, a re-
ported disturbance Of serios pro-
portions developed in oil-rich Iraq
where a dispute between left and
right-wing elements threatened civil
strife. The unstable Middle East is
always a potential danger zone,
and thus any reoccurrence of vio-
lence in that part of the world
causes immediate repercussions and
apprehension especially among
leaders in the western world.
Against this background the SEN
ate turns this week to consider
alton of two important defense mat
ters; first, an extension of the mill
tary draft law already passed by
the House of Representatives and
secondly, authorization of addition
al funds in connection with our re-
search and development of outer
space.
With regard to the extension of
the Selective Service Law it is OBJ
viously necessary that this statute
be continued. Although military
service is All Inconvenience and at
times a sacrifice for our young men,
we as a nation are pretty well con-
vinced that without adequate pre-
paredness, which means the avail
ability of trained manpower, the
dangers to our own country and
those of our allies would be ma
terially increased. Our uniformed
personnel both in the active and
reserve components of the armed
forces constitute probably the most
important single element in our
over all national defense program.
say this, for despite the ad-
vance in rockets and missiles, the
use of air and sea power, there has
been as yet no effective substitute
found for the presence of ground
troops in any military emergency.
This was quite evident when the
last Middle East crisis erupted
some months ago. At that time you
will recall the United States quick
lv moved troops into the Middle
East and probably STAYED off seri-
GUS international upheaval. In the
present Berlin crisis American
troops in the area would no doubt
be the first called upon to defend
our interest in the event of an out
break of trouble.
Meanwhile as attention focuses
on potential trouble spots in Gene
va negotiators from East and West
are still assembled discussing the
question of agreement on limiting
nuclear explosions If not suspend
ing them entirely for the sake of
humanity everywhere. Reports of
increasing radiation stemming from
the atmospheric tests of atomic and
hydrogen bombs are causing. par
ticular concern among some scien-
lists, Government leaders and
others.
This problem is more fundamen-
tai and in the long run more inn
perative than any other which we
face; because if the dire results of
accumulating radioactive fallout
are as drastic as science predicts,
the world will either force the
elimination of nuclear experiments
which release radiatiCns or reap
the awful consequences which are
the alternative.

Agricultural Researchers
Need Twin Calves

iIdentical-twin beef-type calves
are needed by u. S. Department of
Agriculture scientists for use in
nutrition and breeding studies at
the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture's Agricultural Research Cen
ter, Beltsville, Maryland, according
to county agent, George Vapaa.
The calves can be purebred,
grade, or crossbred animals, less
than 5 months old, or those born
before June /, 1859. Either heifer
or bull calves will be purchased,
he said.
The calves are being sought, so
far as possible, within a radius of
about $50 miles from Washington,
ID. c., to hold shipping costs down.
Owners or producers willing to
sell identical twin calves that meet
USDA specifications should write
to Everett j. Warwick, Chief, Beef
Cattle Research Branch, Animal
Husbandry Research Division,
Beltsville, Md. An inspector will
be sent to check the calves, Mr..
Vapaa said
sluentlcdl lWin CdlNeS are Idie'
and are developed from a single
cell. They are always of the same
sex, look very much alike, and re-
act in much the same manner. Fre-
quently their markings may be re-
peated on the same or opposite
sides. In cases where the right
and left side markings are revers-
ed, the resemblance is known as
mirror likeness"
Identical-twin calves are partic-
uIarly useful in research because
of their similar physical reactions,
USDA scientists say.

University News
Alan LOmax, Folk Song
Specialist, to Appear at
University Of Delaware


Alan Lomax, internationally
known specialist in folk music, will
appear at the University of Della
ware on Monday, March 16, at Sis
D. m. in Mitchell Hall as visiting
scholar in English.
1t will be his first public appear
ance in the United States since re-
turning to this country following
eight years of research in Europe.
Mr.. Lomax is generally regarded
as the worlds most distinguished
living ballad collector, scholar and
performer. Together with his ia
ther, the late John A. Lomax, he
built the worlds largest recorded
folk song archive of more than
$4,000 songs for the Library of
Congress during the years 1888 to
1912. Together they published such
works as Cowboy songs" Amer
ican Ballads and Folk Songs, -
"Our Singing Country" Folk Song
u. s. A" and "The Songs of Lead
belly"
His most important personal con-
tribution has been to establish folk
song albums as part of the cul-
tural field. He prepared the first
American albums of this kind and
has constantly worked to expand
the field with new ventures. Among
the early albums recorded under
his supervision were those of Burl
Ives, Josh White and Peter Seeger.
L.
cries was "Leadbelly', Negro
murderer who, on several occa-
sions, was released from prison to
perform on his twelve-string gui--
tar. Leadbelly's album became fa-
nous and he also recorded "The
Midnight Special" with the Golden
Gate Quartet in 1889.
In 1910 Mr.. Lomax published,
compiled and edited the first album
of Field recordings for the Library
of Congress which have stimulated
similar publications in Europe, AS
ia and Africa. Since 1850 he has
been engaged in assembling SER
les Of long playing records called
"The Columbia World Library of
Folk and Primitive Music" About
forty volumes are planned with six
teen, covering about one-third of
the world region-by-region, al
ready in print. From this field work
has grown a new approach to folk
song publication-the presentation
of entire musical cultures on long
playing records.
In addition to his lecture-demon-
stration, which will be open to the
public, Mr.. Lomax will visit Eng
lish classes on Tuesday and have
luncheon with students and faculty
in the Agnew Room of the Student
Center.

Election Rules
BY the Associated Press


After resisting for IA months,
the Transfers Union finally
has agreed to new rules de-
signed to provide safeguards
for democratic, honest elections
in local unions.
The union capitulated to de-
mands of court-appointed mon
itors at a hearing yesterday
before Federal District Judge
F. Dickinson Let's.
The new rules will be in effect
for elections in about $50 locals
IN November and December.
The monitors, who have
watched over Teamster affairs
since January, 1858, finally
petitioned Judge Let's after
failing to work out an agree
ment with the union. At the
hearing yesterday the union
agreed to put reforms into eff
feet Immediately.
One major change allows
union members whose dues are
paid by check-off to run for
local office. In the past, the
union has taken the position
that members whose dues were
not paid one month in advance
were ineligible to run. The
monitors contended this was a
device to keep control of locals
IN the hands of incumbents.
The union also agreed to
have an outside independent
agency conduct elections in the
next IL locals to be removed
from trusteeship. After that,
the monitors said, they will
consider the matter again to
decide whether this procedure
Is required in other locals re-
moved from trusteeship. About
so locals currently are in trus-
teeShip.
The new election rules are
the monitors first step toward
putting into effect a model
code of bylaws for locals.

that it was for a small cabin
cruiser ordered for special
services and that the store
owner wasn't entitled to that
money until the boat was pro-
duced.
He said the $4,000 loan OF
Navy funds to the golf shop
proprietor was not a wrongful
appropriation for himself. It
was a loan to help restock the
shop, he added. Mr.. Shields
charged that similar loans had
been made on the base.

Wisconsin Man Speaks
At Eastern High School,
where all District English
teachers were meeting, DR..
Robert c. Pooley, professor Of
English at the University Of
Wisconsin. discussed grammar
and usage.
DR.. Pooley, noting that gram
mar instruction is frequently
less successful than it should
be, proposed that the subject
be taught more slowly, but more
thoroughly.
He said grammar classes
should be delayed until the
junior high school while ele-
mentary teachers concentrate
on encouraging pupils simply to
speak the language freely.
I'VE want a child in ele-
mentary school to have a
pleasant feeling in regard to
language" he said. "He should
feel free to talk and otherwise
express himself: Grammar is
too restricted at this age"
He noted that grammar
school children pick up more of
their language habits at home
than in the school. He added,
wistfully. Perhaps we should
send the children home and
bring the parents to school,"
Helps Understanding
DR.. Pooley said teaching
grammar will not enable a stu
dent to correct his mistakes. 1t
Will only enable him to under
stand how a sentence is con-
structed.
He called for a much slower
but more thorough instruction.
