SIS. Freestone Plun
Called Foolish
By SAM EASTMAN
Star STAFF Writer

The S. S. Freestone, torpe-
doed by legislation as a gam
bling ship. again has sailed into
hostile governmental waters.
This time it is District re-
development officials who have
fired a salvo at plans to oper-
ate the ship as a floating night
club on the Southwest water
front.
Redevelopment Land Agency
officials said yesterday that
they have notified owners OF
the Freestone that the former
excursion ship would be less
than welcome here.
Gordon Howard. RLA's dep
uty director. said he has writ

because it would be here only

The four-decker Freestone
simply does not fit into the
urban renewal plans for the
waterfront, Mr.. Howard said.
1t would put a strain on park
ing, cut off the view and reduce
the marina facilities for Small
boats, he explained.
What action can be taken
and when, to freeze out tn
ship was not entirely clear.
The ship now is moored a

up on the short end of a 9-5

The loss cost the Senators
an opportunity to move back

Return From
Ship inOrbit

MOSCOW, Aug. 20 (AP).-
The Soviet Union said today
its dog carrying space ship has
been returned to earth with
its live cargo safe.
The Russians triumphantly
announced the historical first
of orbiting living creatures into
space and returning them alive.
They heralded the feat as the
forerunner of mans flight into
space.
The Soviet news agency Tass
said the two dogs that rode
the space capsule are healthy
after their 24-hour flight 437,-
500 miles around the earth.
They are undergoing medical
examination.
The dogs, named Strelka
(Arrow) and Belka (SquirreD
and about the size of large
fox terriers, were Whizzed
around the globe at a height
of 1898 miles at a rate of 227
miles a minute. They circled
the earth 18 times before they
were landed at a pre-deter-
mined spot, Tass said.
/ While the United States has
recovered vehicles from outer
space, it has not returned a
living being from orbit beyond
the earth'S atmosphere.
Ship and Capsule Landed
The Soviets said they
brought back to earth both the
space ship and "the capsule
with the experimental animals
detached from the ship"
Radio Moscow said in addi-
. ton to the two dogs. the As
ton space ship carried several
rats and mice, flies. plants,
fungi. microscopic water plants
and some seeds.
They were sent to outer space
to allow later studies of the
long-term effects of cosmic ra-
diation on living organisms,
the radio said.
The broadcast added.
The rats, mice and flies were
chosen because they breed
quickly. This will allow scien-
lists to check comparatively
quickly whether radiation in
space can cause physical chang
es several generations in the
future.
Dogs Watched by TV
The dogs were watched by
scientists on television screens
for part of the flight. They
could see the animals move and
once saw one of them take
food.
Details of the fight were sur
rounded by secrecy. No one eX-
cept the authorities concerned
was told just when and where
it took off nor where and when
! it landed. There were no de-
tails announced on exactly how
the satellite was brought back

toned only special thermal

The space ship was launched
yesterday just in time for the
feat to be announced at the
height of excitement over the
trial of the American U-2 plane
pilot, Francis Gary Powers.

page statement on THE Mean
ing Of Communism to Ameri-
cans" first of a series of papers
on major issues he will deliver
during the campaign.
In his lead-off effort, the Re-
publican presidential nominee,
whose early political career was
aided by his fight against do
mestic Communism, said:
The days of indifference are
gone. The danger today in our
attitude toward communism is
of a very different kind. 1t lies
In the fact that we have come
to abhor communism so much
that we no longer recognize the
necessity of understanding it."
Most of the first paper was
taken up with an exposition and
criticism of the elements of
Communist philosophy. Mr..
Nixon promised to discuss in a
later statement "the tactics and
vulnerabilitieS of the Commu-
mist conspiracy and how we can
best fashion a strategy for vic
tory!"
Displays Thoughts
The Vice Presidents purpose
in issuing the series Of papers
on major issues, according to
his press secretary, Herbert G.
Klein, is to allow the voters
to examine his innermoSt
thoughts on these topics. The
project, Mr.. Klein said, reflects
Mr.. Nixon's view that "a cam
paign should educate as we'll
as influence the voters"
Mr.. Nixon's judgment on
Communist philosophy and the
workings Of the Soviet system
was unfiattering to both. He
found the Russian economy
beset by "a painful tension"
and tortured by internal con-
tradictions" and Its system Of
law and government "in a state
of arrested development" Com
munism, he said, has been spec
tacularly wrong in its Judgment
of history and has proved to
be destructive of freedom in
every aspect of life.
Fundamental Error
All Of these weaknesses. Mr.
Nixon said, stem from the
fundamental error Of Commu-
mist doctrine in asserting that
nothing of universal validity
can be said of human nature
that there are no principles
values or moral truths thai
stand above a particular age
Nonetheless, he warned, com
munism, with all its brutalities
and absurdities, still retains ar
active appeal for the minds anc
hearts of many intelligent mer
and women"
In particular, Mr.. Nixon de-
clared, it can offer the leadel
of q successful revolution al
easy way out of the problem
facing a nation trying to maxi
the transition to freedom.

NATURE OF RETARDATION

The terms retarded, Subnormal
and mentally deficient, + all
used to describe a person whose
mental ability when adult, will not
be above that of an average child
of twelve. Retarded is the most
truly descriptive of these terms.
Unusually slow mental growth is
what accounts for the fact hat by
the time a retarded child reaches
maturity and mental development
ceases, he has not acquired the
usual adult capacity.
S. P. Davies state that author
tiles substantially agree that the
term mental deficiency contains
three essential concepts: Cd mark
ed Limitation of intelligence due to
CD lack of normal mental develop
ment, rather than to mental dis
ease or deterioration, which shows
in CD social and economic made
quacieS. Amplification of this
statement may be s~erviceable
To say that a child is retarded
is to give only a vague descrip-
ton of his ability. There are all
degrees of retardation, from very
mild to very severe. The child may
be mentally like an average infant
or nearly the equal of average
children of his age. Plans must be
made on the basis of what he can
do, with the expectation that he
will develop mentally as other
children do, though more slowly

Primary mental deficiency is
due to inherent fault in the organ
ism that prevents normal mental
development. This type accounts
for less than half the number of
mental detectives.
Secondary mental deficiency is
due to conditions affecting a ner-
vous system, otherwise normal,
before. during, or after birth. This
type is not hereditary Any one of
many causes may produce defici-
ency, such as birth injury or a
damaging infectious illness of the
mother during pregnancy.
