Victory for the Congo

It is good that the General As
sembly, after long days of bitter debate,
has put an end at last to the Soviet-led
filibuster against seating President
KaSavubu's Congolese delegation in the
United Nations.
This action has been taken by vote
Of SO to "a, with 10 abstentions, and it
has been taken in keeping with a rec
concentration made by the AsSembly'S
Credentials Committee. The Kremlin's
opposition to it-opposition supported
by Ghana, Guinea, India, Indonesia and
a number of other African and Asian
countries that seem all too often in
clined to be "neutraliSt" in peculiarly
non-neutral way-has been motivated
solely and simply by desire to re-
store Patrice Lumumba to power in
Leopoldville.
And why such desire? Well, few
things could be more obvious than the
fact that Mr.. Lumumba, the deposed
Premier has shown leanings pro-Com-
munist enough to be most pleasing to
the Kremlin. Indeed, his behavior in
that respect has been so extreme that
more than few Of his countrymen re-
gard him as full-fledged Soviet agent
or puppet And this suspicion, very
strong and justif1able one, accounts for
President Kasavubu'S decision to remove
him from off1ce-a decision fully au-
thorized by the Congo's fundamental
law" or constitution.
Since our Government has led the
fight in favor of seating the KaSavubu
delegation as the Congo's only legitimate
representative in the world organiza-
ton, the Assembly's vote has been de-
Scribed as victory" for the United
States. But that is shallow interpre-
tation of the event, and Ambassador
WadSworth, our chief delegate to the
U. NJ, has done wise and effective
thing in emphasizing that our country
takes an altogether different view of the
decision that cast Mr.. Lumumba into
kind of international outer darkness.
Thus, in Mr.. WadSworths words,
1.-THE action of the General Assembly
:. was victory for the Congo and no
one else. Now let's get on with the bust
ness at hand-upholdin Mr.. Kasavubu
and the United Nations in their efforts
to bring stability and order to the area"
But how to do this? Needless to say, as
demonstrated by the dangerous clashes
between u. N. troops and the volatile
Congolese army" the task is at best
difficult in the extreme, and occasion
ally it would seem to be hopeless.
Yet, regardless of the chaotic nature
of the situation, it would be sheer de-
featism to rule out the possibility of
establishing law and order in the Congo.
Actually, the U. Ms vote for Mr.. KaSa-
vubu augurs well for progress in that
direction.

7 Thanksgiving Thought

Speaking of Thanksgiving, the
United Givers Fund has cause to be
thankful that 1t is so close to its 1861
goal of $7.2 million. It may be for
lorn hope, but there is still a chance
that the fund and the whole community
as well eventually can render even more
heartfelt thanks-for complete attain
ment of the goal. This could come
about if the $1,000 former contributors
who are missing from this years list
Of donors would send in their gifts in
the closing months of the year. Last
year more than 100000 was received
after the official close of the campaign.
UGF officials expect that when do
nations Sin the pipeline" are tabulated
the total in hand will exceed the ST
million mark. More than the pipeline
money Is needed to reach the target,
however. Many of the volunteer workers
intend to continue their efforts to con-
tact those on the missing contributors"
list. Some Of these may have been
overlooked inadvertently, during the
pressures of the drive. Others may have
been out Of the city or preoccupied
with the election. Whatever the cause
for their failure to support the 1861
campaign, this holiday season of thank
fulness would be good time to make
certain that all of the destitute, ailing
and underprivileged who depend on the
lat UGF agencies for aid are given
cause to be thankful, too.

majority of Washington res

Aside from the fact that
Representative Broyhill OPP
posed adequate social legis-
lation to meet the needs Of
urban areas, he has con-
siStently stood against prog
gress in the two fields most
dear to the hearts Of Wash
ingtonians - home rule and
racial tolerance. BY sup
porting Mr.. Broyhill, you
have ignored the expressions
of a tremendous majority Of
Washingtonians who ex-
pressed their desire in the
primary for home rule. Al
ready Mr.. Broyhill has an
nomced that he will lead the
fight against any form Of
home rule during this session
Of Congress.

Stronger in Japan

JapanS election returns serve to
repudiate the Communicated riots that
forced President Eisenhower to cancel
his projected visit to Tokyo last spring.
More than that, they serve as reaSsur-
ing evidence that "neutralism" is still
very much in the minority over there
and that the new security treaty be-
tween our two countries has strong
popular support.
Thus Prime Minister Ikeda and his
pro Western, pro American Liberal
Democratic Party have won 296 seats,
a gain of Is, in the 467-seat House of
Representatives. This constitutes one
of the biggest parliamentary majorities
ever formed in postwar Japan, and 1t
has been achieved on the basis of a
campaign in which the Liberal Demo-
Gratis spared no effort to meet the
Socialists and Communists head on in
Pact. There is good reason therefore
for Mr.. Ikedas assertion that the great
majority of the Japanese people-57.6
per cent Of the voters-have rejected
Socialist neutrality" and eXtremism
and Endorsed close cooperation with
the United States and the free world
at large.
True, despite this, the Socialists
have won AS seats, a gain of %, and
the Communists have won 3, gain of 2.
To that extent, Mr. Ikeda seems to have
exaggerated bit in declaring that the
Japanese electorate has buried "neu-
tralism." Further. he and his party
have fallen short of their campaign goal
the winning of two-thirds parlia-
mentary majority. Still, these reserva-
lions to one side, the Liberal Democrats
have reason to feel elated, and they
may yet attain the two-thirds objective
with the help of the conservative indie
pendents and the middle-of- the-road
Democratic Socialists, who in the past
have favored the Tokyo governments
basic policies at home and abroad.
In any event, with or without the
support of these two minority part es,
the Liberal Democratic Ikeda govern
ment row has greater parliamentary
strength than ever before. And that in
turn promises to give Japan new
degree of stability in both domestic and
foreign affairs

The Safe Course

The Federal Food and Drug Admin

saying that it is better to be safe than

public safety. In pursuance of that logic,
the agency once again has risked criti-
cism from industrial sources by banning
from general sale type of red dye that
can cause severe liver damage in ami
mails. The FDA would have. been sub
ject to justified censure if it had per-
mitted continued use of the dye in food
and then had found that it had caused
illness or death of human beings.
The dye in question, known tech
nically as FD&C Red Dye No. /, has been

Pleasant InterIude

It's wonderful, almost I'M
believable, that Nikita Khru-
shchev has been kept of the
front pages of our newspapers
for weeks, overshadowed by
our glorious two-party sys-
tenn Of speechmaking and
elections.
If Nikita has during this
interim made threats to de-
stroy us and the other free
dom-loving nations with his
hydrogen bombs and his mis-
siles. the press has been too
busy with the presidential
election to give him much
heed. But it is also possible
the American press finally
decided to ignore Mr.. Khru-
shchev's outburSts and threats
and give the American reader
some respite, and while Khru-
shchev would not like that,
what a relief to the Amer
lean people.
Gentlemen of the press, I
beseech you, let's keep it this
way.

Human Rights

Recent newspaper articles
reported that a bowling alley
sit-in group has requested
that the Prince Georges
County Commissioners estab-
lish a Commission on Human
Rights. We have previously
made a similar recommended
ton, and are glad that others
are emphasizing the acute
need for such leadership in
our county.
We are personally aware of
problems in the following
areas: Public accommoda-
tions, recreation. employ
ment, housing, street and
sewage facilities, fire depart
ments, police departments,
and coming enforcement. A
Commission on Human
Rights is needed now to help
solve the growing unrest in
these areas. We know from
the experience of other
groups throughout the United
States that this is an effec-
tive way to promote peace
and order and establish
human rights for all citizens
in our county.
The time is long past when
these problems can be ig-
nored.

Why Not Scrap Them?

Resolutions for better conduct are
often made in the cold, gray dawn of the
morning after the night before. Some
thing of the same sentiment may be
detected in the spate of suggested cleo
toral reforms that follows the end of
political campaign. Some of the sug-
gestions have merit. 1t is too bad that,
four years hence, most of them will have
been forgotten.
Senator Dodd of Connecticut has
addressed himself very ably to one Of the
most exaggerated forms of political
hokum-the convention platforms. He
thinks they should be abolished, in favor
of a general statement of party goals
and attitudes. Television may help to
achieve that desirable end. It is incon-
ceivable that the American electorate
will continue indefinitely to submit
itself to watching and attempting to
swallow the concentrate of hyperbole in
party platforms.
Senator Dodd'S main point, however,
is that "The worst betrayal of trust that
any President or Congress could commit
would be to accept whole hog the con-
vention platform of victorious party
and to subordinate the four-year de-
Lucrative process of the President and
Congress to the four-day drafting pro-
cess of nonelected members of party
platform committee"
There is not much likelihood that
such betrayal of trust will occur, or
that it will be attempted. The greater
danger in our opinion, lies in the effort
by candidates to create the impression
during campaign that a platform COM
mits them to its promises. This is a
form of deception rationalized by politi-
cal folklore as being justified because it
is supposed to help win an election. 1t
is deception, nevertheless, which
breeds cynicism and distrust. Senator
Dodd is to be commended for saying that
he is not committed to any part of the
Democratic platform merely because the
convention adopted it. We hope he
wins converts among his colleagues to
his theory that a convention platform
COMMITTEES no elected official, for it would
be wrong and bad for the country if
elected officials relied on platform
plankS rather than their own sense of
responsibility to determine their course
of action.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Report on Experiments With Brain
By THOMAS R. HENRY

The brain is basically q
single organ.
It is probably not just a
collection of higher nervous
system centers for the various
senses, such as sight and
sound, as it is likely to be
pictured, according to q re-
port to the American As
ISOLATION for the Advance
ment of Science by DR.. David
Krech and his associates Of
the University Of California.
True enough, they agree,
the capacity to see seems to
be concentrated in the &C.
cipital lobes in the rear of
the cerebral cortex. or top
of the brain. If these areas
are removed, or seriously
damaged, q man or animal
is mind blind, unable to
see anything regardless Of
how intact the rest of the
visual system. The same is
true with regard to hearing
of the temporal lobes at the
sides of the cortex.
Not Isolated Areas
But, the California psyche
logists demonstrate, these are
not isolated areas and they
have some degree Of interde-
pendence. They experimental
by removing Surgically or
causing major LESSONS in
both the seeing area and the
feeling area on one side of
the brain. Very soon, they
found, there was a measur-
able increase in chemical
activity in corresponding
areas on the other side. One
of the chemical effects of
cortical activity is production
of so-called cholinesterase.
The amount of this may indi-
cate roughly the intensity of
the activity.
They found that when a
lobe on one side was put out
of action there was a mea-
surable increase in choline-
sterase above the normal in
the corresponding lobe on
the other side, as if it were
making an effort to take over
for its disabled partner. There
are unconfirmed reports of
cases where this actually has
happened.
Their findings applied only
to the cerebral cortex. In no
case were they able to find
traces Of any change in
chemical activity in the "old
brain" centers buried under
the cortex in the brains in
terror. This apparently oper-
ates quite independently of
the higher centers.

Red Propaganda

Congratulations on Eugene
Burdick's enlightening fea-
ture, "Russia's Subtlest Cam
paign: The One for Mems
Minds" in The Sunday Star
editorial section.
However, it must be pointed
out that countries abroad are
not the only recipients of
this barrage of propaganda.
In 1859. for example, the
port of New Orleans alone re-
ceived 100000 packages of
material destined for virtu-
ally every school and college
in the United States.
The Star would be doing
a great service to its readers
if it would present a sequel
to Mr.. Burdick's article, one
which would disclose the ex-
tent to which this country is
a target for Communist
propaganda.

This is a letter of sorrow. so

were served with no one Of
fering any supervision as to
amounts consumed. The par
ents were in attendance.
I question these parents on
their right to serve alcoholic
beverages to teen-agers. I
question these parents on
their effrontery of taking on
the job Of sophisticating my
daughter. I question their
reason-if there is a reason
for providing such an I'M
wholesome evening for young
people.
I am more indignant with
these parents than ! am at
the bistro these same young
sters habituate and get served
hard liquor. I shall do all I
can to fight that battle also.
but for parents to condone
this sort of thing really makes
me wonder.
These parents are not
stupid-indeed. they are pro-
fessional people. Despite this,
I have not received an apol-
ogy from them for allowing
this to happen to my daugh-
ter In their home. May God
have mercy on them for sure
ly they know not what they do.

This was reported to the
American Federation Of Biol
ogical Societies at Okla
homa State University by DR..
S. Phyllis Steamer Of the
Atomic Energy Commission.
It was found in a study now
in progress for nearly seven
years Of the delayed radia-
ton effects on animal organ
isms.
Chickens, Of course, are
not humans. Their life course.
however, is about the same,
however greatly abbreviated.
They can be observed through
through its entirety.
Half Normal Weight
The study was conducted
at the Argonne Laboratory Of
the Commission near Chi
cago. The chicks were ex-
posed to a single heavy dose
of X-rays, with vital organs
shielded, three days after
Matching. Fifty-two of those
that survived the first 30
days, together with an equal
number of unrelated con-
trolls, were selected for the
life study.
Our observations showed
first" DR.. Steamer said,
that the irradiation had a
marked effect on the growth
Of young chicks. Their maxi
mum weight after eight or
10 months was about half
that of normal chicks.
Treated birds were mark
edly more irritable than the
controls. They were weaker
and less able to tolerate
handling. Four are still alive
after seven years. The nor
NAL life span of domesticated
chickens probably is not
much longer. Many changes
normally associated with adj
vancing age. such as de-
terioration of blood vessels
was observed.
"Tumors widely associated
with radiation) were rarely
seen in the treated chickens.
Although radiation of the
male sex organs caused
sterility the birds did develop
the usual secondary male
characters. They could crow,
had male type feathers, and
large combs and wattles."
