Haven for Refugees

! am a ninth-grade student
and am very concerned over
the seeming lack of atten-
ton which has been given
in Congress to the refugee
immigration problem. Our
civics class has done quite
a bit of research on this sub
ject and we truly believe that
it is one of the most impor-
tant problems facing our
country today.
The greatest need of these
people-their greatest desire
is to find a permanent
home where they and their
children can have an oppor-
tunity to build themselves a
future. An argument raised
against liberalizing immigra-
ton laws is that the refugees
Will not make desirable citi-
zens. I think that this argu-
ment shows a lack of under
standing. These people have
spent long years in converted
concentration camps in a
fight for freedom. They are
the kind of people who would
be deeply grateful and appre-
ciative of a chance to become
citizens in a country such as
America.
The United States has told
people all over the world
through such mediums as the
Voice of America that we
support their struggle for
freedom. But do we really?
If we honestly want to help
people become free why do
we allow them to live in such
conditions as are now pres
ent? Is it to punish them for
their desire to become free

would not allow a more salts
factory solution. The public
had been led to believe that
the report which the Presi-
dent requested the FAA to
make on this matter would
be ready for White House and
Budget Bureau consideration
last December, and in the
hands of the Congress when
1t convened in January. Had
such a timetable been fol-
lowed, we would not find
ourselves in the present stu
alton.
Although the Government
calls the small treatment
plant a temporary solution,
1t has given us no indication
of when we can expect a
permanent solution. Past ex-
perience does not reassure us
that this will not be one more
temporary installation which
becomes permanent through
inertia.

Hope and the Summit

1t is noteworthy that General de
Gaulle and Vice President Nixon were
both hopeful, even if cautiously so, in
what they had to say here over the week
end about the impending summit meet
ing with Soviet Premier KhruShchev.
Their minds in that respect appeared
to run'in the same channel, with each
voicing confidence that the meeting
would help to promote the cause of
peace.
Thus, in the course of his news con-
ference at the National Press Club, the
formidable and eloquent President of
France made clear that he was basically
optimistic. Although he said that he
thought it would be impossible to work
out an early settlement of such issues
as Berlin, he nevertheless voiced the
belief that the coming heads-of-gov-
ernment gettogether in Paris would re-
suit in the beginning of "detente"-
the start of real easing of tension
that could lead in time to "a certain
moduS vivendi -. which will be accept
able to both Sides" In any case, as he
put it:
If we do not wage war, we must
certainly wage peace In order to wage
peace, we must negotiate. And in order
to negotiate, we must meet together 1
think that the first summit conference
that is going to take place is . very
good thing and beginning; and think
that if, at this conference, we do not
arrive right away-and that is infinitely
probable-at complete solutions to all
problems, we can nevertheless make a
few beginnings that will justify further
meeting after a certain period of
detente.
Mr.. Nixon made essentially the
same encouraging point, and spoke in
essentially the same encouraging spirit,
IN his address to the American Society
of Newspaper Editors. "I believe" he
said, "it is vitally important for the
United States and our allies to approach
this conference as an opportunity rather
than as, at best, something of hazard.
We should look upon the coming
talks with the SovietS as chance to
champion and to achieve some aff1rma-
tive fundamental objectives"- as
making "at least beginning on prac-
t1cal arms control and bringing about
the "defusing" of the Berlin crisis in a
way that could lead to "a formal de-
1nitive solution of that problem"
Together with General de Gaulle
and President Eisenhower, Mr.. Nixon
respects Nikita Khrushchev's intelli-
gence and strength of character as a
militant Communist. He has made that
quite plain to the Nations editors; and
ne has suggested at the same time that
the Soviet Premier is coping with do
meStlc and foreign problems (including
the potential nightmare" Of Red
China) that may fill the Kremlin with
a genuinely anxious desire to negotiate
trustworthy live -and-Iet-live under
standing with the West.
Anyhow, speaking for himself, Mr..
Nixon has emphasized that the hard
facts of international life are on the
side of peace and disarmament" and so
he expects that the Paris summit meet
ing will be productive of good results.
General de Gaulle, Mr. Eisenhower and
British Prime Minister Macmillan all
seem to feel the same way. The rest of
us can only hope that they are not en-
gagged merely in wishful thinking,

WSTAS IN SCIENCE
Penetrating Eorth's Blue Haze
BY THOMAS r. HENRI

An ethereal shroud covers
the earth.
It is a faint blue haze
diffused by dying plants. 1t
may constitute one of ma
ture's most important mech
anisms in weather. as a
brake on unrestrained growth
OF vegetation, and as the
primary source of petroleum.
This hardly discernible
blue haze is produced at a
rate of about 200 million tons
a year over the whole land
surface of the world.
Such is the substance of a
report to the National Acad-
emy of Sciences by DR.. F.
w. Went, director of the
Missouri Botanic Gardens,
st. Louis.
The blue haze itself has
been observed for centuries
especially by artists such as
Leonardo da Vinci, but its
nature and extent have not
been explained. 1t generally
has been attributed to water
VaDOr DarticlPS
The greatest part of the
substance of plants is COM
posed of water and carbon
dioxide out of the atmos-
phere combined into solids
through the mechanisms of
photoSynthesis. When the
plants die these eventually
are decomposed into water
and carbon dioxide again.
and the whole life cycle
starts anew. There is, how
over, an exception tc which
almost no attention has been
given in the past.
DO Not DecOmpOse
Plants during their growth
produce various oils, red
yellow pigments of the type
known chemically as catore-
noids, an substances similar
TO rubber and asphalt.
Amounts of these are ex-
tremely small, compared to
plant substances of the earth
as a whole. But they do not
decompose. There is no nat
ural mechanism by which
they can be decomposed, ex-
cept over very long periods.
Once released by the dying
plant they remain in the at
mosphere forever, or until
they are washed out by pre-
cipitatlon.
Thus the total accumulative
amount becomes enormous.
Each year, DR.. Went saws.
there is added to the atmos-
phere an amount equivalent
to a millionth of the total
weight of the atmosphere,
now estimated at about
. 100000, ,OOO,OOO,OOO tons.
This has been in progress
ever since the beginning of
life on earth. If all the in
destructible plant emana-
tions, which are slightly ex-
plosive, had accumulated in
the air there would have
been long ago a titanic ex-
plosion which would have
wiped out all life.
In general, the barely dis
cernible blue haze has been
dismissed as a factor of
aesthetics for very sensitive
landscape observers. There
has been essentially no con-
sideration of the enormous
total amounts. Of late, DR..
Went says, there have been
some quite accurate measure
ments. One, for example, is
based on an analysis of air
which has blown over sage

brush. This brought the find
ing that that type of vegeta-
ton. which covers about
100000 square kilometers of
the Western United States,
would produce about five tons
of this blue haze material in
a year per square kilometer.
The whole sage brush area
would account for about
100000 tons a year. 1t is
probable, DR.. Went says, that
evergreen forests would pro-
duce about as much per
square kilometer. Added to
this is the somewhat lesser
amount contributed by other
kinds of vegetation.
What, he asks. happens to
all this? The released prod
uctS persist for some time
in the atmosphere after their
release as the pungent smell
of steppeS and semi-deserts,
the sweet odor of meadows
and the aromatic smell of
pine forests indicate. Yet
they do not accumulate in
the atmosphere, since We do
not smell or analyze them in
samples taken some distance
away from the vegetation.
If they persisted, such guam
titles of combustible mate
rial would, in the course Of
a million years accumulate
to an explosive mixture"
The one very significant
mechanism for removal, he
says, seems to be snow and
rain which washes them
into the soil. Sun radiations
break the particles into
smaller particles, altogether
too light to be pulled into
the earth by gravity. Also,
with contact with ozone gas
in the high atmosphere, they
are changed into the blue
haze, somewhat similar to
"smog" which is due largely
to quite similar substances
freed in the burning of gaso-
line. 1t consists of extreme
ly minute particles which re-
feet chiefly blue light.
Common by Day
IN nature" DR.. Went
says, I'VE find that blue
haze formation is very COM
mon during daytime. This
haze, often called summer
haze, or heat haze, can be
seen everywhere over vege-
tated areas except during or
Immediately after storms
which have brought in clean,
completely colorless and
transparent air.
Formation of this blue
haze can often be observed
directly. In the morning
after a warm, MINDLESS night
visibility at ground level near
the vegetation may be very
high but almost as soon as
the first sun rays hit the
ground a more or less dense
blue haze appears. 1t is ap-
parently due to the partial
oxidation of organic vapors
which accumulated during
the night.
water Vapor cannot pos
sibly be the basis of this
haze for it occurs predomi-
nantly in a dry atmosphere.
Its blue color indicates sub
microscopic size of the parti-
cles, smaller than the small
est mist droplets. Over oceans
no such blue hazes occur
but light white hazes, ap-
parently due to microscopic
salt particles, are frequent"
