Person to Person

I note in the letters, a
communique by one Warren
w. Morse. who criticizes
Constantine Brown, who
dares to criticize the oh-So-
mature students who have
been demonstrating against
their government.
Mr.. Morse brings up the
subject of segregation. He
m en- ntions the "sickening
pockets of poverty in this
richest of all nations" That
is an old Russian chestnut
which they drag over the
Goals as they blandly ignore
the facts that even our pow
erty stricken have m or e
worldly goods and better liv-
ing conditions than a great
majority OF their Goo-for-
Saken citizens.
Also in Mr.. MorSe's letter,
good old j. Edgar Hoover is
raked over the Goals. !
quote: Il wish that J. Edgar
Hoover would stick to public
relations or whatever it is
he does, and leave political
analysis to people who
understand basic principles
of fair play, and who have
some sympathy with the
modern world" What mod
ern world-the one where
radical animals can go
screaming through the
streets and smash the will OF
the great majority of decent
citizens? Bah!

Live Memorial to T. R.
There is SO much obiection

There is so much oDJectlon
to the proposed T. r. memo
rial Il think rightly SOD that
I wonder if you see any merit
in the following suggestion:
Why not a far more acces-
sible and interesting memo
rial, and a living one? I
mean the Zoo.
At present it is step-child.
partly under the Smithson-
ian, partly under the Dis
trict, not really a national
park, not really a national
zoo-for the space is too
small, the terrain too hilly
for expansion. and Con-
gress too disapproving II
think rightly of larger
budgets for it.
Why not christen it Roose-
welt Park, or Roosevelt Zoo. or
something like that, put up a
good statue of the great
T. R., use the memorial
money to endow better up
keep and preservation of
the wonderful forest grounds,
and perhaps a better home
for the lions and tigers than
the present dreary and de-
graded cages?
Would not a living memo
rial like this be more in spirit
with the great T. R., and
also make the Zoo even more
fascinating to the millions
of happy children who love it
already? And the rest of us
also. including me.
Would not such memorial
use give it a focus, a mean
ing. which 1t now lacks?
Then. too, the more danger
Gus and exotic animals might
be featured more-and gentle
grazing creatures. like the
far-too-many deer. could be
eliminated, and the space
now being devastated and
eroded by grazing might be
put to better use. Who hasn't
seen a deer? But what about
seeing lions, tigers, elephants.
in really adequate and hu-
name quarters?

Welfare Policy

My oncern has been
aroused over a letter "Clari-
f1ication of Public Welfare
Policy"
1t is evident from this that
William E. Roger. of the
Montgomery County Welfare
Board, has an expedient an
swer for those who are criti-
cal of his child placement
practices. In the Crump case
that involves the adoption of
little Johnny, Mr.. Roger de-
fendS his position before the
court in closed session on the
basis of customary practices"
in adaptive procedures where
as he answers the press by
quoting from a welfare policy
manual. This manual affords
foster parents much greater
opportunity for fair treatment
and for child adoption than
do the customary practices
of the Montgomery County
Welfare Board.
From the limited bits and
pieces of information avail
able to the public concerning
the Crump case there has
been generated a suspicion of
improperly in the handling
of this case by the welfare
board. Unless the testimony
in the closed court hearings
of this case reveal that Mr..
Roger and the welfare board
have exercised more discreet
judgment and humane con-
sideration than what the pub
lie has been led to believe,
there is legitimate cause for
criticism.

For the Life of the World

Pope John XIII, in his address to
the World Eucharistic Congress at Mu-
mich, has spoken in justiflably somber
terms of how men everywhere have rea-
son to mark with anxiety the size of
the human race"
True, even as they brandish rockets
and intensity tension in places as far
apart as Cuba and the Congo, the men
of the Kremlin sanctimoniously declare
that war is avoidable and that they are
all in favor of peaceful coexiStence."
But their fair words are belied by their
dark deeds, and that is why the Pontiff
whose assessment of the situation is
shared by leaders throughout the free
world-has warned that "the peace of
nations is placed in jeopardy" That is
why, too, he has given voice to special
prayer "for the life of the world"-a
phrase taken from the Scriptures as the
theme of the Eucharistic Congress-
The prayer, though couched in
Christian, Catholic language, is one
whose essence can hardly fail to be ac-
ceptable to all God-fearing peoples of
every creed who are aware of the pitileSS
Communist suppression of human lib
erty in Europe and Asia and who worry
about the possibility of mankind's an
Inhalation in a nuclear war AS Pope
John has intoned it, Divine Redeemer
=. protect the human race from dan
gers of death. Above all, protect men
from the death which is especially to be
feared, the spiritual death to which in
Vulnerable souls are now exposed or by
which they are crushed in wretched-
ness"
The Kremlin, of course, can be
counted upon to scoff at all this. 1t does
not believe in things of the spirit. 1t
regards man as a sort of slave who is
born to be exploited by the state as long
as he lives and who has no more sig
nificance in death than swatted house
fly. AS for the Pope or any other leader
of religion, he has no army navy, air
force or arsenal of intercontinental bal
listic missiles, and so Nikita Khrushchev
Evening star., 1960-08-09

and Company-in their own opinion
can safely laugh at John XIII and
issue orders to ridicule and libel anybody
VINO would presume to pray against the
menace of Red totalitarianiSm
Nevertheless, regardless of atheistic
Scorn, the prayers are being said by be-
levers in every part of the globe where
there is faith in God And this is fac
tor Of truly formidable significance in
the present contest between our world
and the world of communism.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Human Ovory Tissue TronspIonted
By THOMAS r. HENRY

Tissue of human ovarieS
has been transplanted sue
cessfully for the first time.
This accomplishment with
three women, just reported
from the National Naval
Medical Center, may be a
Landmark in surgical history.
Transportation of female
sex glands. per Sc, is highly
significant, but its greatest
significance in the opinion of
the Navy surgeons is that it
perhaps is a first step towards
transportation of all the
glands of internal secretion.
The tissue was trans
planted from human female
embryos to adult women.
whose ovarieS had been sur
gically removed. There are
thousands of such cases
through the country. 1t hard
ly can be said that these
women were given new ova-
ries. Ability to bear children
was not restored. But the
ovaries also secrete into the
blood stream feminizing hor-
mones. This capacity was re-
stored.
"The clinical research"
says a Navy report, was be-
gun at the medical center
with the intention of eXplor-
ing ways to overcome or get
around present blocks to sue
cessful transplantations of
all glands whose SecretionS
are necessary to life. The
tests were started with ova-
rian gland tissues because
these female sex glands met
three research criteria. A
large number of women of
child-bearing age have had
their ovaries removed. The
ovary is a gland not needed
to maintain life. There may
be a sufficient number OBJ
tainable from post-mortem
specimens"
The first such gland trans
plantation was made more
than two years ago. 1t still is
functioning as we'll as ever,
the surgeons report. They
warn, however, that a five
year trial period is necessary
before the transportation
definitely can be declared a
success.
"The ovarian tissue trans

plants" says the report" are
designed to eliminate the
need of taking hormone shots
or pills by young women
who lack their ovarian func-
tions, such as those who have
undergone total hysterec-
tony. Some such patients re-
quire this treatment for more
than 20 years. Without ova-
rian function many women
of child-bearing age face pre-
mature aging. heart condi-
tions. decalcification of the
bones, and other conditions
associated with old age.
Il -
Many attempts have been
made in the past to trans
plant ovarieS from one per-
son to another. All have
proved futile. Some success
has been noted from using
the healthy remaining por-
tions of partially diseased
ovaries when transplanted
into the same patient. The
person-to-person transplants
were defeated by a probable
antibody barrier to accept
ance of foreign tissue, the
body's refusal to accept liv-
ing tissue from another per-
son.
The Navy doctors believe
they may have circumvented
this by using living ovarian
tissue from a less than 16-
week-old foetus by applying
a technique originated by
Prof. P. j. Gaillard of the
University of Leyden, Hol-
land. They sliced this tissue
into bits less than a milli-
meter thick, these tiny pieces
were first grown in cultures.
and then transplanted to
pieces of live tissue from the
lining of the abdomen of the
patient who would later un-
dergo the operation.
ITO mote further
growth, the material was
nourished in the blood serum
taken from the prospective
patient. The research shows
that if the ovarian issue
growth continues without
challenge of the patients
own flesh and blood the doc
tors may be almost sure
they have developed a sue
ceSsful technique,

THE PASSING SCENE
Matter of Political Arithmetic
By RALPH McGILL

Political questionnaires
ask: will Lyndon johnson
help the Democratic ticket?
The answer is yes"
But what really helps Ken
nedy-Johnson in the South,
and makes more difficult the
task of Nixon-Lodge, is arith-
metic. Despite the will of
some States to abandon pub
lie schools and the embarrass-
ing statistics of school ex-
penditure per pupil and per
teacher, all but the fanatics
of the extreme White Citi-
zens' Councils are good at
arithmetic.
Senator JohnSon's addition
to the ticket enabled the more
discontented to come back
home with something to tell
the people. They had a Texan
on the ticket. It was a face
saving.
Did Their Addition
But most of them also had
done two or three sums in
simple arithmetic. They had
the answer to the following
facts:
Six States. responding to
the prodding of extremists,
enacted laws providing for the
abolishing of their school
systems in the event of a
court order calling on them to
permit a handful of Negro
children to attend school with
hundreds of white children.
Governor Faubus added his
State anyhow. Later he
learned a lesson in law He
made seven.
These States, unless reap
portionment after the 1860
census lessons the count, have
a total of 72 electoral votes.
But let us stretch the
South to include Delaware,
Kentucky, West Virginia and
Texas. This takes in, of
course, the seven States
which want to abandon pub
lie education. All these have
a total of $50 electoral votes
out of $50. COf the four
States above, the first three
have about completed full
compliance with the school
order as have several Texas
cities and townsD
The political arithmetic of
that does not encourage de-
f1ance.
And one should not fail
to note that even in Ala
bama. there is a stirring on
behalf of supporting the
Kennedy ticket.
1t took a while to sink in.
but Southern politicians now
know that the greatest dam
age done Southern political
prestige and power was by
the Dixiecrat walkout folly
of l948. Just how the serious
practicing politicians who
conceived and directed it
made so damaging an error
is yet a mystery. 1t was ma
licious and it was political
madness. But it was done.
And when it was undone,
its leaders had taught the

(Mass.D Office OF E. T. Holmes
IN May, 1877, connecting
phones in four banks and a
manufacturing concern. The
phones were connected in
the daytime by the same
wires that were used for a
burglar alarm system at
night. The worlds first COM
mercial telephone exchange,
however, was in New Haven,
Conn. Established in Janu-
ary, 1873, it connected eight
lines and 81 subscribers.

Democratic Party outside the
South that a Democratic
presidential candidate can
ignore the South; can, in
deed, lose much of it, and
still win the presidency. Since
1913, Southern political
power steadily has waned.
And If any accusing fingers
are to be pointed. they should
be directed toward the lead
ership in South Carolina and
Alabama which spearheaded
the Dixiecrat third party.
Certainly few States in
a South expanded from
Delaware to Texas will go
for a third party Oh commit
the folly of withholding their
electors in defiance of the
peoples right to vote for
those who will govern them.
Extremist PreSSures
But let us assume that the
six States which, under ex-
tremist pressures, actually
passed laws making it pos
sible to close the schools do
go third-partying, or with
hold electors. Their hope
would be to throw the elec-
ton into the House of Repre-
SentativeS.
Put pencil to paper again.
These six States have a total
of So votes in the House of
Representatives in the white
domed Capitol at Washing
ton. This will be even lower
when the 1860 reapportion-
ment requirements have been
met.
In 1850 the House had, of
course. the legally established
totals of 435 members. Since
then Alaska and Hawaii have
become States. But reap
portionment will subtract
from States losing popula-
ton to maintain the figure
at 435. The less than so
House of Representatives
votes in six States will hardly
decide an election in the
highly improbable possibility
of its being taken there.
And how unrealiStic can
such dreamers be? After the
elections of l948, 1926 and
the national conventions Of
1860. does anyone in a sound
state of mind think a bargain
would be struck which could
in any sense reverse the
courts, eliminate the civil
rights laws already enacted,
and turn back the clock?
Only those entirely divorced
from reality can seriously ar
que throwing the election in
to the House for bargain
ing"
Every day more and more
Southerners understand they
have been deceived by the
extremists and those who
said we could defy courts and
the Constitution and success
fully withdraw from the ma
tional stream of life. Those
who truly love the South
know we must affirm and n t
always deny.
