Foreign Relations

Douglas Dillon, Undersec-
retary of State, called the
Dominican Republics dicta-
tor, Rafael Trujillo, a tyrant,
torturer and murderer and
the United States broke off
diplomatic relations with the
Dominican Republic.
If we are really against
dictatorship why did we only
break diplomatic relations
with the small Dominican
Republic? Why didn't we also
break off relations with the
bigger and more dangerous
dictatorship of Russia? There
Nikita alone has killed twice
the number of people in the
whole Dominican Republic
and the people before him
were no better. In Decem-
ber, 1888. they directed the
Communist Party of the
United States to use every
available means to prepare
for the forceful overthrow of
our government through
propaganda and revolution
ary labor union, leagues, COM
mittees and groups, and for
the substitution of a Soviet
form of government to be
affiliated with the Soviet
Union.
If we do not want the op-
pressed nations of the Soviet
Union and the rest of the
world to believe that we only
take action against anti
CommuniStic nations and
leave the doors open to the
worst murderers and tyrants
of all, the Soviets, then we
must also break diplomatic
relations with the Soviet
Union and its satellites.

Unbidden Guest

1t is only too easy to feel outraged
by Nikita Khrushchev's bumptious de-
ciSion to head the Soviet delegation to
the United Nations General Assembly
opening in New York on September 20.
Certainly, considering how he has per-
sonally insulted President Eisenhower
and maligned our country since wreck
ing the May summit meeting in Paris,
he is displaying brazenness of the first
magnitude in thus taking it upon him
self to visit among us once again.
The visit, of course, is likely to be
limited in the extreme. At any rate,
unless he formally requests meeting
with the President (an exceedingly
improbable event), the Soviet Premier's
movements will be confined to a rela-
lively narrow region betwixt his bed
room in the New York area and the
U. MS internationalized enclave in
Manhattan. Needless to say, however,
that will be perfectly all right with him
as long as he has an opportunity to
exploit the Assembly as a sounding
board for anti-American, anti-WeSt
propaganda aimed at promoting the
Kremlin's drive for global domination.
The great majority of diplomats in
the free world can hardly fail to be
slightly disguSted by all this. It is not
the way the international game should
be played. On the contrary, designed as
it is Cat least in part) to show contempt
for the United States as the U. MS host
country, Mr.. KS latest maneuver adds
up to conduct of contemplate sort
that conceivably may yet boomerang
against the Kremlin.
Forewarned is forearmed. Now that
we have had advance notice of Mr..
KS impending appearance at the U. N.
in New York, our Government could do
worse. than burn the midnight oil in
preparing to deal effectively with his
unwelcome visit to our shores-a rather
insolent and arrogant though quite
legal intrusion that ought not to be too
hard for us to handle if we but give a
little thought to it,

Emergency Rotions

The people of our cities
were never more vulnerable
than today. In this tense
period of international rela-
tionS, the United States is
looked upon by the free
world for impregnability. We
have met this responsibility
in the field of armaments
and nuclear weapons with
detailed and scientific effort.
We have gone to great
lengths to establish early
warning lines, bombers con-
tinuously in fight, space
mechanisms in orbit and
sizable armed forces. Very
little has been done however
to protect our people in met
ropolitan centers from star
vation in case of atomic or
missile attack.
Ihe largest portion of the
United States population now
lives in metropolitan areas.
For more than 2 years.. the
National Corn Growers Asso-
citation has advocated a pro-
gram of placing adequate
foOd supplies in the perrin
eters of our large cities.
This program has been pre-
sented to a number of high
officials in our Government.
The large grain supplies
which we have on hand are
not near large metropolitan
centerS, other than a few
grain terminal cities. In most
cases, these grain elevators
are located inside the met
ropolitan area and would be
unavailable to a population
that had fed to the outside
of it.
Our Government should
take aggressive action to con-
vert Government-owned grain
supplies now on hand into
processed and sealed meats,
poultry. eggs and dairy prod
ucts. Wheat flour, cornmeal,
oatmeal and rice should be
placed in sealed form, also.
These foods should be stored
in atomic fallout-proof build
ings around the perimeter of
metropolitan centers.
This program could be CO.
ordinated with a greatly ex-
panded dietary improvement
program for elderly citizens
and our many needy people.
AS the foods in the atomic
proof shelters reach a GER
tain age, they could be re-
leased to worthy recipients.

President, National Corn
Growers Association.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
staff of Life Poisonous to Some
By THOMAS r. HENRY

For a few persons, bread
is poison. In some cases it
may be fatal.
This was reported to the
international Nutrition Con-
gress here by DR.. Alastair c.
Frazer of the University Of
Birmingham, England.
The unfortunates, he said,
cannot tolerate wheat flour
and eating it may result in
severe m alnutrition and
stunted growth. It apparent
ly amounts to a lot more than
an allergy. Detailed study
shows that the lining tissues
of the small intestine. essen
tial for absorption of nutri-
ents, are severely damaged.
1t also is shown that the
intestine cannot have the
normal movements which
propel fo0d through 1t ana
assist in absorption.
Dramatic response is OBJ
served" DR.. Frazer said, "if
these patients are placed on
a wheat gluten free regimen.
This involves considerable al
teration in the average diet,
since wheat flour is extern
sively used in manufactured
foods and well as in bread
and baked products.
"It can be shown that nine
tenths of the wheat flour is
not concerned in the deleteri-
GUS effect. The remainder,
which is largely protein, is
harmful. From this material
a heat-stable, unfilterable
fraction has been prepared
which appears to have the
full deleterious action of the
original protein fraction. 1t
is resistant to digestion.
Engines Have Role
However. if it is incubated
with an extract of the lining
tissue of the small intestine
its harmful properties are re-
moved. 1t seems reasonable
to suggest that in normal
people this wheat protein
fraction is tolerated because
there is an engine, or en-
zymes, present in the lining
of the small intestine which
inactivates the harmful
agent. In some persons, how
ever, this engine is deficient
and consequently passes
through the lining layer un-
changed and causes the dam
aging effects. 1t may interfere
with intestinal motility, alb
sorption of nutrients and
normal growth"
This concept is further
supported, DR.. Frazer said, by
the fact that a small piece Of
intestinal lining from a nor
NAL person inactivates the
agent. A similar piece from a
patient with intolerance has
no effect.
Although not common, he
said, the disease is by no
means rare. Unless there is
satisfactory diagnosis the re-
suit is likely to be chronic

Before its convention re-
cess the Senate took a
practical step to end the
hassle over the non-Red affi-
davit in connection with stu
dent loans under the 1858
Defense Education Act. The
compromise, which retains
the loyalty oath and drops
the disclaimer affidavit pro-
viding in is place criminal
penalty for Subversive mem
bership, is sound and should
meet much of the objection
to the affidavit.
No one can honestly sub
cribe to the oath of alle-
glance to the United States
and at the same time belong
to a Subversive outfit. If some
one does so violate his oath,
the Senate would provide a
stiff fine and prison term.
The change ought to be
acceptable to the colleges
and students objecting to the
language of the original act
- especially those colleges
which have refused to par
ticipate in the program. It
eliminates any suggestion
that college students are
more suspect, as a group,
than any other American
group. I urge the House to
concur with the Senate's
compromise.

Your editorial Cant Have
1t Both Ways" says that the
Democrats cannot afford to
belittle the Vice Presidents
role in the Eisenhower Ad-
miniStration ii they want to
blame him for what they re-
gard as basic faults of the
Republican Administration.
That does not follow at all.
After all, Mr.. Nixon. by this
reasoning. can't have it both
ways either. His claim to
superior experience is to some
extent Debated when it is
pointed out that he was only
an adviser. whose advice was
sometimes accepted, some
times rejected. It is GER
tainly not Debated to zero.
as you point out, but it
makes his experience" more
comparable to that of SEN
atorS and others, who also
can claim experience as ad-
visers to the President. In
any lease, Nixon is running
on the Republican record,
defending it. and, therefore,
he is a fit target for those
who may find that record de-
plorable. The Democrats
would not be illogical at all
If they went so far as to deny
any executive role to Mr..
Nixon whatever and still held
MIN responsible for what he
defends.
In your editorial. "As Byrd
Goes :" you said your i'm
preston from reading SEN
ator Kennedy's remarks "is
that the country really has
gone to the dogs under the
Eisenhower-Nixon admins
tration." Yet I read in your
news article: THE Demo-
cratic nominee conceded the
accuracy of Mr.. Nixon's as
sertion that America is the
strongest power in the world
today. But where his oppo-
nent had declared with con-
fidence that America has the
will and capacity to stay
ahead. Senator Kennedy
warned that America is under
present policies, gradually
slipping behind in our sched-
ules, behind in our needs,
behind the Russians in our
rate Of progress" Let's say
this is debatable. but it is
not going to be a debate on

THE POLITICAL MILL
BY GOULD LINCOLN
Republicans Have Cause for Cheer

eral Democrats of the. North
have to believe that the pro-
gram promised so glibly at
the Los Angeles convention
will be enacted into law?
They have been promised this
kind of pie-in-the-sky legis-
lation for years-the last six
years during which the
Democrats have had majori-
ties in both houses Of Con-
gress.
Clearly the Republicans
have been encouraged to be-
lieve that for a third time in
succession some of the States
Of the Democratic Solid
South will give their electoral
votes to a Republican presi-
Dental candidate - in this
case Richard M. Nixon. They
have been encouraged by
polls in some Of the Southern
States - in particular in
Texas which shows the
Nixon-Lodge ticket running
neck and neck with the Ken
nedy-JohnSon ticket. This in
the home State of the Demo-
cratic nominee for Vice Presi-
dent, Lyndon Johnson. They
have been encouraged, too. by
the warm reception given
Vice President Nixon in his
recent forays into the South.
Democrats Drag Issue In
The Democrats are seeking
to bring the religious issue
into the situation in the
South, claiming that Mr..
Nixon and other Republican
leaders are surreptitiously
seeking to arouse the Protes-
tant voters to oppose Mr..
Kennedy. who is a Catholic.
Apparently they believe that
such tactics will help Mr..
Kennedy in both the South
and the North-that the Prot
eStantSr will be Shamed into
voting for him on this issue
and that Republican, Catho-
lies will rally to him. It must
be said, however. that he has
taken issue with a charge by
Gov. Almond of Virginia that
Mr.. Nixon has been involved
in an effort to stir up the re-
ligiouS issue. Mr.. Nixon has
said he would have no part
or parcel of opposition to Mr..
Kennedy on the issue of Ca
tholiciSm and has ordered his
aides to keep their hands
clean of any such campaign,
public or undercover. AS a
matter of fact, discussion of
this issue seems to come
from Democratic sources,
rather than Republican. This
has been evident for a consid-
erable time.
The Republicans have been
disturbed over the knee in
jury to Mr.. Nixon which is
keeping him in the hospital
and out of the campaign un-
til the middle of September.
But they see a silver lining
to this cloud. They figure the
Vice President will have a
needed rest and also that the
impact of his campaigning
will be all the stronger when
it does start. One of their
fears has been that the voters
will grow weary of too long
a campaign and too frequent
appearances of a candidate
for President.

invalidism. The condition is
likely to become aggravated
by infection, stress and ia
tigue.
About half of all harmful
hereditary mutations due to
radiation exposure can be
prevented-in bacteria-by
treating them with antibi-
otics and other chemical
agents.
The same may be true for
assemblies of human and
other animal cells. This was
reported to the American
Federation of Biological So
cietieS meeting at the Uni
versity of Oklahoma.
The report was Jointly by
DR.. Charles r. Doudney of
the University of Texas and
DIR. Tsuneo Kada of the
Tokyo Institute Of Physical
Research.
Their study, the report
said, established that in sim
gle cells like bacteria ironiz-
ing radiation causes muta-
tionS by at least two mech
anisms. One involves a di-
rect hit on the genetic ma
terial, gene or chromosome.

done about it. once it has
happened.
May Be Beneficial
However" according to
the report, I'VE found that
about half the mutations
caused by radiation are not
produced Immediately but
require synthesis of a new
gene. with division of the
cell, for their establishment.
In these cases mutation can
be prevented by treating the
cell with certain antibiotics
which block the synthesis of
important cell constituents"
About 80 per cent of all
mutations are considered
harmful and constitute a
major hazard of the radia-
ton age.
If our results" said the re-
port, "can be extended to hu-
mans, which is very prob
able, they may have great
value in cases of radiation
exposure, either accidental
or therapeutic. Half of all
harmful or lethal mutations
could be prevented after rad
iation exposure by the proper
treatments which these
studies indicate"

Qualification

AS q result of questions
which were asked at an Ar
lington County Board hear
ing August 81 by Ernest Wilt,
a board member, and quoted
in your news coverage Au-
gust %, your readers may
have derived the erroneous
impression that the Arling-
ton Apartment owners Asso-
citation favors rezoning to
permit apartment construc-
ton in single-family neigh
borhoods in Arlington.
In opposing a "low-me-
dium population" resolution
which the county board
adopted. this association con-
tended that limitations Of
population growth to 1000 a
year for 20 to 80 years would
prevent natural growth of
the county and lead to in
evitable tax increases in an
already well-taxed county.
The official statement of
this association which was
presented at the county
board hearing under the di-
rection of our Executive
Committee by our Executive
Secretary. Jay Waldron. was
in no way intended to imply
that this association favored
coming changes to permit
apartment construction in
single-family neighborhoodS.
This association does not
a ate such zoning
changes, although questions
asked by Mr.. Wilt of Mr..
Waldron, and quoted in your
story may imply the con-
trary.

OF Mice and Men

I noticed an article headed
Hawks Fail, Air War De-
clared on Mice" which went
on to describe plans for a
poison campaign a ainst
meadow mice which are ex-
pected to destroy the seeding
trees to be planted around
Dulles Airport newt year. The
implication from the article
is that the Fish and Wildlife
Service is to carry on this
air war.
This seems an unfortunate
implication. as the biologists
of the Fish and Wildlife
Service certainly know that
If they give the hawks and
owls a little time to build up
a population they will not
fail, but will undoubtedly be
a very effective means of
controlling the numbers of
mice. They have already
gathered in abnormally large
numbers about the Chantilly
site. attracted by the abun-
dant food supply. The Fish
and Wildlife people also are
undoubtedly aware of the
unwanted side effects of such
a poision campaign as de-
scribed-the slaughter of res
ident and migrant seed-eat-
ing birds, pheasants, quail,
probably rabbits, and, very
likely, if certain poisons, such
as thalium compounds, are
used, carnivorous birds and
mammals that may eat the
dead and dying mice, rabbits,
and other animals.
Whoever made this deci-
sion seems to be about as
well informed as the person
who wanted to dump the
Dulles Airport sewage into
the Potomac for Washing
tonians to drink. Perhaps it
was even the same person.
Perhaps he should reconsider
this one, too. Perhaps, even,
Messrs. Broyhill and Kaul
might get into this problem
and demonstrate their rela-
tive effectiveness in suggest
ing a better solution for it,
instead of arguing about who
solved the sewage problem.
At any rate we would like
to keep our wildlife. This air.
port seems to do nothing but
spawn disadvantages and
threats of damage to the
county.

Monopoly Hit
By Guild Chief

CHICAGO. June % (AP.-
Arthur Rosenstock, president
Of the American Newspaper
Guild. yesterday urged that
Congress investigate what he
called trends toward monopoly
in the newspaper business.
Mr.. RoSenstock, supervising
librarian of the New York Post,
speaking to the Guilds 9th
annual convention, said the
union has been trying to stem
the trend toward newspaper
monopoly "by every means
available to it, but without
success"
He urged the convention to
campaign for a raising of cap
ital gains tax to reduce oppor-
tunities for great profit by the
sale of a newspaper.
Mr.. Rosenstock said the JUS
tice Department should be en-
powered to investigate news
paper deals to assure sale of
legitimately reasonable bidder
and prevent playing into the
hands of a monopoly that
might purchase and junk a
paper.
Mr.. Rosenstock, reporting on
his administration, said the
dues-paying membership of the
Guild reached a new peak of
1880, a net gain of 349, during
the year. He said that bar
gaining rights were won for
16 new groups totaling 842
employees.
Mr.. RoSenstock also stated
that the average general in
crease, minimum salary in
crease and wage reopening
settlements in the industry all
were appreciably higher this
year. He said the average in
crease in contract minimums
was $6.72 compared with $5.68
a year ago. The average gen.
eral increase in the top bracket
was $5!42, compared with $4.61
a year ago.
The newspaper industry in
general, Mr.. RoSenStock said,
has a very rosy prospect. "Ad-
vertising lineage is increasing"
he said, land there has been a
resurgence of circulation growth
to SO million for the first time"
