Bad News for FIeos

Starting from scratch, so to speak,
an agricultural research scientist has
come up with a bit of news that should
evoke yelps of pure delight in dog
dom. The Department of Agriculture
says that DR.. R. l.. Goulding, chemist at
the Oregon Experimental Station, has
discovered food additive for dogs that
is sure death to f1eas. The most flea
bitten pooch, after partaking of the
doped food, will find the 1eas falling off
him like, well, dead fleas.
The antiflea dog food is not avail
able on the market as yet. We know
that mans best friend is itching to get
a crack at some. And we hope the re-
search will be extended to the mosquito
and chigger fields. We are itching to
have a go at something that will cause
these man-loving pests to turn up their
heels at the first bite.

Southwest projects under construction,

high, and certainly sense of commu-

Less Intuition

4 1t is good to hear that the National
Capital Planning Commission expects
soon to have new analytical model"
to be used in selecting sites in the Wash
ington area for new Government build
ings.
.,s We are far from certain, as is so
often the case in dealing with the mex
plicable language of planners, what this
new model will look like or how it will
operate. What it presumably will ac-
,complish, however, is to arm Federal
agencies with information that will
reduce the chances of selecting locations
which will create hardships either to
themselves or to the local communities
they invade. And if this is the case,
we are solidly for it,
to Up to now, Federal agencies have
been all too prone in such matters to
ignore the advice of the NCPC and its
sister agency, the National Capital Re
gional Planning Council. Perhaps in
part, at least, this has been reflection
on what the planners had to offer. Their
present determination to get more facts
and less intuition into the selection of
future employment centers should be
welcomed, however, and certainly 1t will
benefit the region as whole.

Manufacturing q Crisis

In decreeing that West Germans
must henceforth have special passes to
visit the Soviet sector of Berlin, the
puppet East German Communist regime
undoubtedly has acted in keeping with
instructions from the Kremlin. The
move, of course, as our State Depart
ment has declared, is completely IL
legal" and there is ample reason to
regard it as maneuver calculated to
increase international tension in ad-
ance before the United Nations General
Assembly in New York.
There can be little doubt, in any
case, that the East German decree con-
Stitutes deliberate violation Of the
four-power agreement governing travel
to, from and within the French, British,
American and Russian zones of Berlin.
And what makes the violation seem
particularly significant is that the
agreements validity has not been ques-
toned up to now by either the Kremlin
or its StoogeS in Germany-a fact
strongly tending to ccnflrm the SuSpi-
cion that Mr.. Khrushchev and his CO.
conspiratorS are intent upon manufac

sons best known to themselves.
The potential gravity of the Situa-
tion has been indicated by the speed
and sharpness of our allied Anglo
French-American reaction. In effect, we
have served notice on the Russians that
we hold them accountable for the East
German move and that they will be
responsible for whatever consequences
may ensue. These consequences, wholly
apart from grim military possibilities,
could include economic conferences
ureS such as trade CUTOFF quite
painful not only for the Kremlin- Icon
trolled Germans, but also for other
peoples behind the Iron Curtain.
Presumably, however, Khrushchev &
Company have reckoned with all this
and decided that new criSis-or at
least the appearance of one-will serve
Soviet ambitions regardless of the risks
involved. Quite obviously, if this is the
fact of the matter, nobody should be
surprised If there is lot of dangerous
international unpleaSantneSs In the
weeks Immediately ahead. The prospect
in that sense fully justifies the solem-
nifty and severity of the Vests response
to the latest act Of Communist arro-
gance and haraSsment in Berlin.

Worthy Addition

Approval of contract terms by the
Redevelopment Land Agency apparently
has removed the last significant obSta-
Gle to construction of the new Arena
Stage theater, which is expected to get
under way next month We applaud the
action, for this worthwhile project
should be an attractive and valuable ad-
dition to the revamped Southwest water
front.
Under an earlier redevelopment
plan, the Arena site at Sixth and Maine
avenue would have been restricted to
use as park. Through change in the
plan, other types of community uses
also were permitted, and Arena admir-
ably meets this criterion through its
status as a non-profit, tax-exempt
enterprise. It was on the basis of this
special category of land use, as RIA
officials explained at a public hearing,
that appraisers determined land
rental figure to be charged Arena that
is lower than would be charged for
strictly commercial use.
The only other question raised at
the public hearing dealt with the ade-
uuacy of parking facilities to serve
Arena. In view of the physical limita-
tions of the site, it is expected that
Arena patrons will rely mainly on CEN
tralized public parking areas that will
be designed to serve enterprises all along
the waterfront and at nearby shop
ping center Since Arenas major need
for parking will be at night, these prob
ably will suffice. AS practical matter,

Resistant Poles

Poland's individualiStic farmers,
most of whom own the land they till,
apparently are continuing to resist all
attempts to eollectivize them Actually,
compared with their counterparts in
other countries behind the Iron Curtain,
they still enjoy large measure of free
enterprise, and Warsaw's Communist
regime has been careful to make haste
slowly in trying to regiment them in a
system Of State controlled agriculture.
This official caution, however, may
now be nearing an end. At any rate,
in the toughest statement he has yet
made on the subject, WladySlaw
Gomulka, Poland's Communist boss,
has assailed private farmers for refusing
to take part in organized collective
efforts" to increase crop production, and
he has gone on to declare: poland
needs laws which would permit the use
of compulsion and sanctions against
those who, contrary to the general
trend among the peasants, hamper and
make progress in the field of agriculture
impossible +. One should put an end
to liberation of those who try to shield
their backwardneSs and SluggiShneSS
and anti-social attitude by saying, My
land, my WILL and who use this will to
maintain this backwardneSs."
These are words strongly suggesting
that the Red rulers of Warsaw are
planning a breakdown of some sort to
establish a much larger measure of
agricultural collectivization Yet the
fact remains that the country's farmers
constitute formidable army of rugged
individuals who have made clear over
the years that they are bitterly opposed
to regimentation. Accordingly, if he
presses them too hard, Mr. Gomulka
conceivably may find himself with re-
bellion on his hands.

Probinq Indian Oceans Mysteries

the catastrophe gives some
idea of the potential mid
ocean resources which are
currently untapped.
Systematic collection Of
physical and chemical data
will for the first time make
it possible to describe the
distribution of plant nutri-
ents and dissolved organic
compounds. This ocean is in
a vast basin closed of from
exchange with other seas. In
to it pour great quantities Of
drainage waters carrying
their burden of substances
dissolved from the rocks and
soil. Hence it is an ideal place
to study the effects of run
off on the composition of sea
water. Samples will be COL
lected for carbon IA dating"
Special attention will be
paid, according to the report,
on the biological repercuS-
Sions of the monsooning re-
versal of the winds. Under
its influence regions of up
yelling and high productive
ity of ocean life should de-
velop, decay and shift from
place to place, causing dra-
matte changes in the distri-
button of marine organisms.
Expected Results
STANDARD biological COL
lections and measurements"
says the report, made sys-
tematically over the whole
ocean will define its three
dimensional distribution of
plants and animals. Integra-
ton of these observations will
permit assessment of living
resources. It also will provide
basic biological information
that is essential for eventual
understanding in fluctuations
in the abundance and avail
ability of commercial fish.
"The bottom topography"
the report says, "is virtually
unknown. Various soundings
have indicated existence of
undersea mountain ranges
comparable to those of the
Pacific and Atlantic. For
these two oceans. however,
differ markedly in the ar
rangement of these ranges
and their relations to the
bordering continents. These
will be determined, if possible,
for the Indian ocean.
There will" says the re-
port, "be integrated geophys-
ical studies of the heat flow
ing from beneath the crust,
the gravity field, the, crustal
thickness and the magnetic
characteristics of the oceanic
and border areas. Intensive
coring, dredging and bottom
photography will yield data
on climatic and magnetic
changes during the last sew
eral million years"

1t was with great interest
and dismay that I read The
Stars account of the defec-
tion of two employees of the
National Security Agency.
The Star reported in part:
"Other Government officials,
who declined to be identified,
reported that Government
agencies knew about the de-
parture of Mitchell and Mar
tin from Cuba aboard a Rus
sian trawler shortly after the
ship left Cuba"
If this account is true, it
is inconceivable that NSA and
the CIA could have known
about the movements of these
two men so close off the
shores of the United States
without having interyened.
if necessary by force Of arms.
The ship repeatedly taking
these men to Russia was a
Soviet trawler - not a mill
tary vessel.
In view of the seriousness
of the detection of these two
men, regardless Of their
stated or unstated reasons,
it seems to me that some
means of apprehending them
should have been attempted.
The justification of W flights
by the present administration
and the seemingly passive in
difference of our security
agencies to the flight of these
two men is not only illogical
and unjustifiable but also
points up the obvious con-
fusion and disillusionment OF
our Governmental agencies,
In fact, such a situation leads
me to think that such psy-
chotic policies are as signi-
ficant as the detection of these
men itself. Can any of us
be wondering what Mr.. K

seem to count in this. contest.
For Gov. Loveless is getting
almost solid support from the
Catholics, and Mr.. Miller
from the Protestants.
Wallace's Farmers poll also
shows the vote preference Of
those "likely" to vote in the
November election. For Presi-
dent, Mr.. Nixon's percentage
is 81 per cent. Senator Ken
nedy's 81 per cent, and IL per
cent undecided. Gov. Loveless
in this category maintains his
lead over Mr.. Miller, At per

policy and trouble abroad
continue to dominate the
news, Wallace's Farmer finds
Mr.. Nixon and the Republic
cans are likely to gain. If
domestic issues-particularly
farm programs-get more at
tention, the Democrats may
pick up.
Democrats To Meet
The Democrats are not
taking anything for granted
about the farm vote and
the Middle West They have
scheduled a meeting of the
Midwestern Democratic Con-
ference in Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma, for September 16,
II and 18, at which the issues
will be discussed, along with
ways to meet them-among
them, the religious issue,
which it is predicted, will be
brought out into the open.
Fourteen States of the Mid
west, running from Indiana,
across the plains to the
Rockies, are included in this
conference. Senator jackson
of Washington, Democratic
National Chairman, will at
tend the conference; so will
the Democratic candidate for
Vice President, Senator Lyn-
don johnson of Texas, and
many other prominent Demo-
Gratis.
Although De m ocra tic
strength has increased in re-
cent years in the farm States,
the party leaders understand
well that Mr.. Stevenson, ex-
cept for Missouri, lost all
these States in 1856. Such a
loss, if suffered by Senator
Kennedy, might well be
devastating to Democratic
hopes of winning the control
of the White House. ESpe-
cially is this true if the Re-
publican, as now predicted
in some quarters, should
break into the old Solid
South-as Mr.. Eisenhower
did in 1852 and 1856.
While Senator Kennedy
has already made a major
appearance and speech in
Des Moines, dealing with the
farm problems. Vice Presi-
dent Nixon has yet to make
a similar appearance. He is
slated to deliver two farm
speeches, however, in the
next two weeks, one at Guth-
rie Center, Iowa, September
16, and another at SiouS
Falls, South Dakota, Septem-
ber %. After that the views
of both candidates will be be-

Weather phenomena, life

Only the most general fea-

the distribution of its living

Unique characteristics
"The Indian ocean has
several unique characteris-
tics. Nowhere else in the
world is there a similar sea-
sonal reversal of the pre-
vailing wind. That part ly-
ing north of the equator is
characterized by the two
monsoons, one blowing from
the northeast for approx
mately six months and the
other from the southwest for
the remainder of the year.
This phenomenon has a pow
erful but essentially un-
known effect upon currents

the report, are the life fuc-
tuations. It is a region of ex-
tremely high productivity.
"In June. 1857" says the
