Well, what does a class do
when they come to an end of a
unit? A test, perhaps, for one
thing; but sometimes a class
has something extra special to
close out a unit, and often this
is something that turns out to
he a great deal of fun.
This is what Michael DeFiore's
sixth grade at Rozelle School
did the other day, when they
came to the end of their Social
Studies unit on Italy. They had
learned how Italy had recently
become independent of United
States hard durum wheat for
their spaghetti by growing their
own.
So they had a spaghetti-and-
pizza dinner at school. They
cooked their own food, made
their own salad, and got recipes
from home for canal and pizza.
The figured out their own large
recipe proportions for their in
gradients, and in general did
as thorough job in preparing
for their Italian dinner as they
had done in their unit of study.
Prospect
Rockets and airplanes, fas-
cinating objects of study in
science classes these days, have
been occupying the attention of
Miss Mary Whites sixth grad
ers at Prospect School recently.
In addition to bringing models
and pictures of aircraft and
spacecraft to school for display
purposes, they have been in
vestigating the principles OF
air and space flight in class:
lift, thrust, decentralization,
and so on.
Using their new science
table, they have constructed
propellants that have enabled
them to shoot a model rocket
across the room, on a safety
wire. They have been combin-
ing scientific interest and rec
reational reading by studying
some of the better science-fic-
ton books, which are often
quite accurate in their field.
They feel now that they know
more about what tremendous
forces are needed to make man.

Service inspectors have been attacked
while carrying out their responsibilities,
Federal prosecution of the offenders has
not been possible. This is because there
is no Federal law covering such criminal
offenses. Yet the United States Code
outlaws use of force against most other
Government agents.
Secretary Flemming has asked Con-
gress, therefore, to enact legislation to
provide Federal penalties for physical
assaults on HEW officers assigned to en-
force the food, drug, health and quar-
antine laws and regulations. He said
that blackjackS, guns and other weapons
have been used in resisting FDA agents
checking on illicit operations. The Gov
ernment has had to rely on State action
against the aSsailantS. We agree with
Secretary Flemming that the Govern
ment should give its full protection
under its own laws to those who are pro-
tecting the public from food, drug and
health hazards in general.

Anybody Home Out There?

If anyone had suggested few years
back the feasibility of tuning in on
outer space in the hope of hearing a
message from inhabitants of another
galaxy, we would have advised him to
consult a good psychiatrist Now, how
ever, with satellites whirling around out
there and new scientific wonders being
unveiled virtually every day, we are
ready to believe that almost anything
can happen. Certainly we are not in
clined to scoff at the possibility that Ma
tional Science Foundation radio-astron-
omers may hear voices from far out
there nearly any day now.
Nor are we surprised that a team
of scientists is conducting a month-long
listening vigil at the foundations Ma
tional Radio Astronomy Observatory at
Green Bank, West Virginia. For six
hours each day the scientists will listen
to the static-like noises from the direc-
ton of two carefully selected stars, Tau
Ceta and Epsilon Eridani, to determine
if intelligent beings on planets orbiting
around them are trying to contact us
or other intelligent beings.
theoretically, it is perfectly possible,
the scientists say, that other planets
may have beings as intelligent as we
are-or even more so. In fact, they see
no reason why other planets, older than
ours, should not have inhabitants ca
pable of scientific achievements beyond
the imagination of us humans. If such
is the case, it might we'll be that these
distant neighbors have been trying for
years or cons to communicate with the
earth or other inhabited planets.
While there would be language bar
rierS to surmount in any such message
experiments, the o-astronomers at
Green Bank believe that celestial egg
heads would send signal which would
be recognizable by other intelligent be-
ings-such as a series of repeated i'm
pulses to denote numbers, perhaps the
atomic weight of an element. Anyway,
we wish the galactic eavesdroppers all
the luck in the world-and out of the
world. 1t should be somewhat comfort
ing to the first man in space to know
that he is not completely alone out

sion of the Germans in the
East and 8 years of defiant
rejection of a plebiscite, So
Wet Russia now threatens ag-
gression through a separate
peace treaty with it's East

all Germany. The people of
East Germany should deter

ate and free election.
Treaties finalizing such &C

neither Congress nor the public is

this sort of casual camaraderie. The

think that the example of recent depar-

Missiles and Britain

In abandoning the further develop
ment of their long-range, 2,80O-mile
Blue Streak ballistic missile, the British
have tied themselves and their fate
more closely than ever to our country
and to the American-led mutual defense
system of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization
Historically speaking, this repre-
sents another far-reaching modification
of Britain'S ancient and proud policy
of relying primarily on its own inde-
pendent military power to maintain
national security and freedom. The
modification, however, does not come
as surprise. Actually it has been
anticipated for some time past as move
dictated by common sense and economic
realism in an age of swift-moving tech
biological change-an age in which it is
more than mere wisecrack to say that
weapons become obsolete as soon as
they work
Thus, in the case of the Blue Streak,
experts have known for a number of
months that its production for military
uSe-as thing to be fired from highly
vulnerable fixed or stationary sites
would constitute waste of time, effort
and money. Accordingly the Macmillan
government has decided to drop the
whole project after having spent $182
million on it. Moreover, in taking this
action, it has plainly indicated that
Britain is not big enough or rich enough
though certainly it is smart enough
to compete with the United States and
the Soviet Union in developing other
types of long-range rockets or ICBMs.
The expenditure of as much as SIT
billion would have been necessary, for
example, to make the already obsolete
Blue Streak operational.
In such circumstances, even though
1t may hurt the pride of those English
men who regard it as evidence of a
continuing decline in national power and
glory, the Macmillan governments de-
cision is altogether realistic. Britain, of
course, will continue to produce its own
nuclear warheadS, but as far as delivery
systems are concerned, it will depend
largely on American-made missiles like
the PolariS and the prospective Skybolt.
Our Government has already indicated
its readiness to make these instruments
available for mutual defense within the
framework of NATO.
Such missiles, as distinguished from
the Blue Streak, have been designed for
launching from mobile bases like sub
marines, surface vessels, railroad plat
forms and jet bombers. Armed with
them as,our ally, and as key member
of NATO'S collective security system,
Britain will be we'll equipped-without
the strain of having to produce its own
IRBMs or ICBMs-to safeguard itself
and contribute significantly to the de-
tense of the free world as a whole.

Your book critic, Carter
Brooke Jones, in reviewing
THE Fierce Lambs" by A. A.
Hoehling. based much of his
comments, naturally, on the
content matter of the book.
Unfortunately, the incidents
selected contained some his
torical errors.
First, the picture accompa-
nying the criticism. 1t shows

diers, and the caption says,

Still the Deadlock

Your recent editorial. Still
the Deadlock" pointed out,
about the disarmament con-
ference, that Both sides
have succeeded only in prov
ing that they are as far apart
as ever" You refer to the dis
armament situation as "the
dreary old stalemate." At this
SOLDERING juncture you help
immensely by turning our
faces toward the realities.
AS a people we are so visit
full for disarmament that we
stubbornly hug hope when
hope is dead.
Actually hope is not dead;
it is dead only on that dreary
old trail with the built-in
stalemate.
Our first need is to awaken
to the fact that to stop bark
ing up the wrong tree is not
to admit there are no pos
sums in the woods.
One Of the truly great men
of our age, DR.. James T.
Shotwell, who has been
thinking and working for
peace for half a century, has
pointed out plainly lin "The
United States in History~:
1T has never been possible
to get agreement so long as
the question came up as be-
tween two potential enemies,
nor will it be possible on such
terms in the future. For the
surrender of ornaments by
nations that suspect others
of hostile designs seems al
ways to be a surrender of
their national safety"
Having dismissed the pres
ent kind Of discussion as
hopeless, DR.. Shotwell has by
no means abandoned hope.
He is, in fact, hopeful of
progress toward the solution
of the age-old problem,
through an avenue that is
comparatively free from the
built-in stalemate:
But now" he says, I'VE
have a different approach,
when the nations Of the West,
either under NATO or under
the Paris Agreement based
on the Brussels pact, accept
international limitation and
inspections of their arma-
ments."
Since the stalemate that is
inevitable in any search be-
tween two potential enemies
is now apparent, instead of
