school integration in the Dis
trict Of Columbia.
1t Is said integration in
Washington was to be a model
for the Nation. OF course, the
Negro is blamed for all the
imperfections of the inte-
grated schools. The fact that
approximately 80 per cent
Of d. C. school pupils are
Negro is brought out to prove
that integration in the Dis
trict has been a failure. As
suming that this ratio Is not
an ideal one, why blame the
Negro? Let's start with the
racial bigots in the South,
who with their disgusting
white supremacy doctrine,
along with other social and
economic factors, have
caused the Negroes to leave
the Southern slums to try to
better themselves elsewhere.
Had these people been con-
cerned or intelligent enough
to see their responsibility, the
situation In Washington and

Unsettled Compact

Governor Tawes has officially pro-
claimed Maryland's ratification OF the
Potomac River fishing compact but, uf-
fortunately, that does not mean an end
to the long controversy over the pact in
that State. The courts presumably will
have the last word on the validity Of
the pact, as a result Of pending ligita-
tion challenging the legality of the ref
erendum by which majority Of the
people of Maryland approved it.
Southern Maryland watermen had
sought an injunction to restrain the
Governor from signing the compact, but
Mr.. Tawes acted before any restraint
could be imposed, If one were approved
by the court. However, the signing-an
act described by State officials as "rou-
tine"-conceivably could be nullif1ed by
the courts.
The pending suit by the watermen
charges that the State failed to comply
fully with provision of the State con-
stitution requiring publication Of the
proposed compact in every county news
paper throughout the State. Through
an oversight, it was published in full
only in the Baltimore Sun. But Gov
ernor Tawes contends that since the
Sun goes into every county and since
there was widespread coverage Of the
pact by television and radio, the publi-
cation provision was substantially met.
1t would be regrettable If technical
error were to nullify all the work that
has gone into the pact, which already
has been ratified by the Virginia Gen.
eral Assembly. How the Maryland courts
will look at the case is matter of spec
ulation on both sides of the Potomac.

possibly something more sin

I hope that none Of my tax

does he think we breed in
this country? After our cities
and war-making facilities
have been blasted of the
map. what would we poor
sheep have to do but abject-
ly crawl out Of our holes and
surrender?
The suggestion is made
that without such a sickening
program we could have a nu-
clear war "by accident
and that the accident"
could be contrived by Red
China so that they could
benefit by the mutual de-
stluction Of Soviet Russia
and the United States. Well,
Mr.. Offcial. I'll tell you just
how to scotch that one. Use

paign, have said they will take
a new approach to interna-
tional affairs, new policies.
They have never spelled out
what they had in mind. How
ever, since the election, Vice
President-elect Lyndon B.
johnson has told the NATO
nations there is no intention
on the part Of the incoming
administration to abandon q
strong position so far as
NATO is concerned. And now
President-elect Kennedy has
agreed with the basic policies
of the United States toward
the rest Of the world, sup
ported by President Eisen-
hover.
Many Problems Waiting
There remains q long list Of
serious problems in interna-
tional affairs. There remains
the cold war. with It's accom-
panying tensions. Among
those problems is the Com
muniSt foothold - Cuba-in
the Western Hemisphere, and
the efforts of Communist par
ties in other Latin-American
countries to take over gov
ernment by infiltration and
revolution. There is, too, the
problem of West Berlin, a
free world oasis in Commu-
mist East Germany. The Rus
sian Communists want to
dominate the whole of Berlin.
In the Far East is the prob
lem of the of -shore islands
of China, Quemoy and Matsu
which leads to the inde-
pendence of the Chinese Ma
tionalists on Formosa. For
mosa is the prize which Red
China wishes to gobble up.
The Communists are moving,
too. in Africa, hoping to win
to their bloc the many new
nations now admitted to the
United Nations.
These are the problems
which the incoming President
and his Secretary of State.
Secretary of the Treasury
and Secretary Of Defense will
find confronting them. It is
a welcome thing that 1t now
appears Senator Kennedy
will have the support Of Re-
publican leaders, from Presi-
dent Eisenhower on down the
line. in resistance to Com
muAist aggression. It re-
mains. Of course, to see what
lines the new administration
will take to these interna-
tional problems. Whatever
the Communists may hope
or believe, the new President
Of the United States, when
he takes Office, will not be
soft" toward Communists,
either here or abroad. There
may be differences in his ap-
proach and attitude toward
various aspects Of the foreign
problem. But he will not be
soft.
The United States has
stood firm against the ad-
mission Of Red China to the
United Nations. So far. it
has had the support in this
attitude Of a majority Of the
members voting on that is
sue. The contention has been
that Red China clean its
hands before it can become
a member Of the agency set
up primarily for world peace.
There will be increasing de-
mands, however. that this
country take q realistic
view," and permit the ad-
mission of the Communist
government which rules the
Chinese mainland. And this
will be pressed upon Presi-
dent-elect Kennedy and his
Secretary of State. How they
will react remains to be seen

1t is the same stuff which,
in insects, suppresses meta

maturity. 1t also can be
found in most mammal It's

This has just been reported
by DR.. Carroll Williams Of
Harvard, working under a
grant from the National
Institutes, of Health of the
Public Health Service.
More than a quarter CEN
tury ago the existence of
a Juvenile hormone" that
prevents insects from chang
ing from the larval to adult
stage was postulated by a
British biologist. Attempts to
isolate it were unsuccessful
until four years ago when
DR.. Williams announced that
his group of chemists at
Harvard had extracted high
concentrations of it from the
abdomens of adult male
moths.
Oil Rich in HOrmOne
After evaporating the
solvent" he reported. I'VE
had a beautiful golden oil
which proved to be extremely
rich in the juvenile hormone.
A single insects abdomen
yields enough of the hor-
none to block the meta
morphosis of 10 pupae. The
extract from the moth can
act upon a great variety Of
other species and orders Of

To assay a tissue extract
for juvenile hormone activity,

from the thorax of the final
immature stage of the silk

activity the adult moth that

ernment of the United States
approaches, what is the out
look for peace in the world?
President Eisenhower and
President elect K e n n e dy,
after a long and friendly con-
ference at the White House,
have Joined in a statement
declaring the devotion of
the United States to peace
with justice and asserting
this country covets the land
Of no other people. This is,
indeed, traditional American
policy. It is the policy which
President Eisenhower has
constantly pursued during his
eight years in the White
House. At the same time, the
Eisenhower administration
has warned constantly Of the
menace to world peace and
to freedom contained in the
Communist world movement.
And 1t has insisted that this
country must be prepared to
resist Communist aggression
against the United States and
against our allies, and, in
deed, the free world.
On Monday, the Com
munist bloc issued a mani
festo in Moscow, following
conferences of 81 Communist
parties including those of
the Russian Soviet and Red
China, also declaring the aim
of the Communist movement
is world peace. The same
manifesto insisted that "co-
existence"-without warts
entirely possible. It made
clear. however. that the
Communist belief is that
eventually the world would
become Communist. And, of
course, this last is the aim
Of the Reds. The pledge of
peaceful coexistence follows
the line of Soviet Premier
Khrushchev. Another section
Of the manifesto, however,
sounds more like the attitude
of the Red Chinese, who have
insisted that war with the
West is inevitable. This other
section reiterates the old
Communist claim that
capitalism is both aggressive
and warlike, and that the
United States is the greatest
offender.
While the United States
and its allies-assert their
wish for peace, it Is obvious
that their way to peace diff
fers vastly from the way Of
the Communist bloc, which
also declares for peace. The
latter look to world domina-
tion by International COM
munism. The United States
is not seeking to dominate
any other nation. 1t does not
wish to be dominated by the
Communists.
To Seek New Summit
Nothing in this fast-mov-
ing world is certain. How
ever. it looks as though
peace is likely to maintain in
early and perhaps all of 1861.
The Communists have been
waiting, along with the rest
Of the world. for a decision Of
the American electorate on
the selection Of a new Presi-
dent and administration. Un-
less all signs fail, they will
seek-if Britain and other
free nations do not-a new
Summit meeting. They also
are planning to feel out the

1861 Viewed SoberIy


evitably prompts rash Of forecasts on
the economic prospects Immediately
ahead. Twelve months ago the crop
was large and brightly colored. AS the
end OF 1853 drew near it appeared that
the economy was merely awaiting the
New Years eve starting gun before
racing OF toward new records in the
soaring sixties" The start has been
delayed, even though the records may
yet be set before the decade has ended.
This year there is more sober tone
to the business soothsaying. The relative
"sluggishness" Of recent months appears
sure to carry over into another year,
probably until the second half. Even
where gross business has been up, most
OF the net profits have been down. I'm
employment has been high and there
are no authoritative predictions Of a
significant decline before March at the
earliest. At the moment, a representa-
tive OF the Commerce Department told
the Joint Economic Committee of
Congress this week that he sees mo
major forces In sight to provide the up
ward thrust needed for resumption Of
economic growth"
Against this background, an i'm
pending change In administration offers
substance for speculation about what
the Government can, should or will do to
stimulate the economy. President-elect
Kennedy spoke often during his cam
paign of the high rate of unemployment
and Of what he considered an inadequate
rate Of growth. One Of his first moves
since election day was to name COM
mittee to study the problems of the
so-called distressed areas, and it is rea-
sonably certain that he will have other
proposals for congressional considera
ton soon after his January 20 in
auguration.
Mr.. Kennedy will not, Of course, be
alone as a source Of recommendations
The organized voices of business and
labor invariably have ideas on this sort
of problem and it is interesting that
they are speaking almost in chorus this
week-through the National Association
of Manufacturers and the Industrial
Union Department Of the AFL-CIO in
favor of tax relief as potentially one Of

that would bring both individual and
corporation income tax rates down to

organization would move quicker for "a
temporary reduction of taxes for the
lower and middle income groups" in
order to put high velocity" dollars in
the hands of individual consumers. Both
groups express confidence that their
plans would accelerate the national eco
nomic growth rate and bring more rev.
enue, rather than less, to the Treasury.
It Is a reasonable contention that
tax relief, If equitably worked out, would
be stimulant to the economy. In the
long term, 1t probably would bring in
greater revenue. Generally speaking,
however, the best time for tax relief is
when a budget surplus is assured and
even temporary reduction in>revenues
does not carry the threat Of a budget
deficit. AS of now such assurance for
1851 is lacking. Today's business slug
gishness is hardly a depression Of crisis
proportions-Sufac to justify deficit
financing. The picture in the crystal ball
may be more favorable next December

Pope Would
Have Been
Farmer

VATICAN CITY, (R do,
NC)-His Holiness Pope John
XIII told 10000 italian
farmers here that their duty
TO preserve spiritual values
does not mean they must
abandon efforts for material
progress.
The Pope, the son of a farm
family, told the audience that
IF the Lord had not called
me TO be A priest. | would
have been one of you / would
be here with you asking the
Holy Father for his blessing"
The Pontiff said that the
IN e m bers Of the audience,
which included his farmer
brother, Giuseppe Roncalli and
other members of the Rom
cali family. were "represen-
tatiVe of all the farmers of
the earth"
He called them men and
women marked with hard
work, yet serene in their sim
plicity, patient in labor -.
but rich in so many human
and Christian values, in the
love of family and nation and
faithful To the Church"
While stressing the primary
importance of supernatural
and eternal values, the Pope
pointed out:
I'VE do not mean that, in
keeping ones eyes on heaven
~ things, one should forget
or neglect earthly things, OI
the contrary, one must have
ones feet planted firmly in
the earth to cooperate IN the
bctterment of ones own con
ditions.'
Recalling that last year he
had urged that a better bal
ance be achieved between the
incomes of farmers and those
in other Jobs, the Pope re-
peated this hope and urged
public officials concerned
with farmers problems 10
work toward this goal.
The Pontiff declared:
THE Christian worker who
wishes 10 remain faithful Ia
Jesus Christ and to the
Church knows well that there
can be lasting happiness here
below, that there can be nc
lasting peace in hearts and
families if the search for
earthly prosperity is not &C.
