A recent letter to The Star
entitled "Mideast Back
ground" talked about the
situation of the one million
Arab refugees now occupying
Arab lands around the Sow
ereign State of Israel. These
people were requested by
the governments of those ma
tons hostile to Israel to
leave their lands so as not to
get hurt" The Israeli gov
eminent asked these people
to stay. They refused and in
such a situation there is only
one thing for a government
to do: take those lands. After
the war when these hostile
governments were defeated
these refugees wanted back.
Israel said no. Jews now oc-
cupied these lands. This was
only justice. Why doesn't the
u N. ask the Arab countries
to take in their brothers?
They have plenty of land.
Does not the Koran speak
of brotherhood? Arabs
should help Arabs.

Red China has come forward with
another cunning mixture of frankness
and hypocrisy in its latest proposal for
settling the India-China frontier dis
pute.
Renewing its suggestion for summit
negotiations between Premier Chou En-
lai and Prime Minister Nehru, the
Peiping government acknowledges some
what surprisingly that in order to attain
their economic goals "the Chinese people
are in urgent need Of long-term peace
full international environment" Year
end summaries of mainland China's 1859
accomplishments in industrial and agri-
cultural development tend to confirm
this expressed need. In steel output, for
example, Peiping set a production tar
get originally Of 10 million tons but re-
duced 1t in midsummer by ne-third.
The government planning commission
recently estimated production of 10 mil
lion tons and other industrial output fell
short of initial goals by about the same
percentage. In agriculture, barely more
than half of original estimates in grains
and livestock was fulfilled.
AS formula for negotiation, how
ever, Peiping again has offered propo-
sails already twice rejected by the Indian
government. Although declaring itself
always prepared to work in close CO.
operation" for peace, security, friendli-
ness and so forth, the Communist state
repeats its claims that most of the dis
puted border areas always belonged to
CHINA complete diSavowal of from
tiers that were defined by international
convention in 1914. In the light Of the
Tibetan oppression and Chinese pene-
trations into Indian territory, Peiping's
professed devotion to cooperation and
peace has distinctly phony ring. Fur
thermore, its suggestion Of 12R-mile
withdrawal still would leave its military
forces we'll within Indian territory at
several points.
1t is unlikely that this conflict be-
tween ASia's two most populous coun-
tries will erupt into full-Scale war in the
near future. AS the new year begins,
however, it seems no closer to a really
friendly and mutually acceptable settle
ment.

Philanthropy at Its Best

III ltS latest annual report, the
rockefeller Foundation has revealed
<nat 1t has dipped into its capital bv
spending about SO million more than its
income in 1858. However, as explained
oy Dean Rusk, who is president of the
great philanthropic institution, the deci-
sion to do this has been made DELHI
erately in order to finance a vitallv
needed expansion of key projects In
Latin America, Africa, the Middle East
and Asia.
These projects have to do primarily
with food and health. They are designed.
among other things, to promote agri-
cultural efficiency for the production of
more abundant crops. And they include
also-on a virtually equal Scale-pro-
grams Of medical and biological research
and training to serve the physical we'll
being Of the scores of millions of people
who live in the worlds underdeveloped
lands and who are going through what
Mr.. Rusk has described as revolution
OF expectations"
ThlS revolution, according to Mr..
RuSk, has generated "surging demand"
for better standard Of living. Yet it is
clear, as he says, that the demand can
not be met in hurry and that therefore,
with everybody expecting too much too
soon, there is danger of disilluSionment
OF kind that could lead to political
extremism and its attendant domestic
and international tension" In that re-
Spect, he is certainly right in declaring
that it is difficult to exaggerate "the
crucial Importance of these present
years" to all the countries involved.
That is one reason why the Rookie
Teller Foundation, which is blessed with
assets valued at we'll over half billion
dollars, has not hesitated to draw upon
some of its capital over and above annual
income. In and of itself, of course, the
foundation cannot solve the problems OF
the underdeveloped countries, but it can
make-and is making-a significant con-
tribution to that end. It's newest report,
as presented by Mr.. RuSk, makes that
much very clear

Top Spot-Or Nothino

To the extent that words are mean
lngful, Senator Kennedy has eliminated
himself as potential Democratic candi-
date for the vice presidency. He was
definite about 1t. II will not be candi-
date for the vice presidency under any
circumstances -. will not be a candi-
date, will not be the nominee, will
not, therefore, accept nomination for
Vice President under any condition. AS
l have stated, this will not be subject
10 change by any condition" If this is
not quite as emphatic as General Sher-
mans famous statement of refusal to
run, 1T seems emphatic enough and
unqualified enough to remove the
Massachusetts, Senator from the vice
presidential picture.
One result of this should be to silence
speculation to the effect that the Dem
ocratS might reject Senator Kennedy, a
Catholic, for the No. spot for fear of
alternating some non-Catholic voters,
while choosing him for the vice presi-
dency in the hope Of attracting Catholic
votes. Any such strategy, assuming its
existence, would disgrace it's advocates
as well as the party, and Senator
Kennedy has done we'll to knock it in
the head at the outset.
Another result is to remove from the
scene the possibility of a compromise
Stevenson-Kennedy ticket. There are
those who believe that such ticket, the
religious question aside, would have
strong political appeal. And they may
be right. But Senator Kennedy evidently
has no intention of playing the game
that way. He says he would rather re-
main in the Senate than take anything
less than the top spot on the ticket
stand which rules out vote-getting
deals, and which will force the Demo-
cratic convention to make a clear-cut
choice. 1t ought to bring about the
nomination of the party's strongest
candidate.

Something like his column
on the subject is probably
more widely read than a con-
gressional investigation would
be. Could he not sometime
follow up with a visit to a
Washington classroom on
mathematics, science. or
some other basic subject?
1t probably would not make
him popular with some
teachers, but would be a pub
lie service in my opinion.
/ believe he is old enough
to remember when teachers
knew the subject they were
teaching and were not just
graduates of some college Of
education" The present
teachers knowledge seems
comparable to that Of a doc
tor who attended a medical
college which specialized in
the bedside manner rather
than in a knowledge of medi-
cine.
Personally I was graduated
from a small high school in
the West, whose teachers had
majored in the subject they
were teaching. My knowledge
was sufficient to pass the
tough West Point entrance
examination without further
preparation.
Later my children attended
Washington schools. What
ever they learned about the
rudiments Of mathematics
was learned at home.
More recently a grand
daughter attended a WASH
ington junior high school.
Her so-called algebra con-
sisted of problems which once
upon a time were considered
mental arithmetic: at least
I could always check her
homework without taking a
pencil in hand. Her so-called
science did not seem to pass
beyond such matters as

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Reasons Why Fat Men Get Fotter
BY THOMAS R. HENRY
Fat makes more fat.

Fat makes more fat.
This finding. Just reported
by the medical research sec
ton of the United States
Veterans Bureau, may ex-
plain why fat men get fat
ter despite exercise and diet
ing, and also why they are
more likely to develop heart
maladies, hardening Of the
arteries and possibly can
Ger than thin men.
The so-called "adipose
tissue" fat mostly on the
outside Of the body, sup
posedly has been a relatively
inert material, primarily in
volved in storage of fat for
padding" or reserve body
fuel.
Actually, according to the
findings reported by DR..
David D. Teller, research d.
rector of the Seattle Veter-
ans Administration Hospital,
it is chemically a very active
material whose major func-
ton is the production Of
more fat. Thus obesity be-
comes a vicious circle.
Long known fundamen-
tai body chemicals" says the
Veterans Bureau report,
such as acetate, propionate,
isoleucine and methyl mall
onate now are found to be
at work in the body produc-
ing fatty acids which, in
turn, form the compound
material known as fat.
Mouse Tissues Used
''1n his long study DR..
Teller used mouse tissues,
incubating them under con-
trolled conditions and feed
ing them with tagged carbon
atoms to measure how much
of the various chemicals the
tissues were using. Those
which had taken up radio
active atoms left traces Of
their radioactivity on sensi-
tive films.
In another portion Of the
experiments live mice were
used-some of them obese
and others normal animals
for comparison. All were
kept in glass-tight cages
from which the carbon d.
oxide given off in their
breathing could be collected
Injections Of radioactive
materials were administered
to both groups and the ami
mails we're killed at intervals
afterwards. 1t was found that
the fat mice had four times
as much radioactivity in
their fatty tissues as the nor
NAL mice.
In other studies DR.. Fellel
and his associates studied the
metabolic activity of adipose
tissue by measuring the flow
of blood through fatty tissues
of human volunteers, using
the tagged red blood cells as
an indicator. This showed
that obese persons have q
relatively larger quantity Of
blood than lean ones and
that this flows more slowly
through fat than through
muscle.

Informative Table

Allow me to thank you Tor
publishing in The Sunday
Star statistics showing the
growth of United States
schools in the past decade.
This table is worth thousands
Of words in revealing the
true situation in American
schools.
Leading educationistS are
constantly complaining about
the explosion" of school pop
ulation, overcrowded class
rooms, the shortage of
teachers. They ask that pub
lie expenditures for schools
be doubled in order that stu
dents be assured of an ade-
quate education. All these
statements, however, are
completely demolished by the
statistics which show that
while public school enroll
ment has gone up So per cent
in the past decade, the in
structional staff has increased
Sc per cent during this same
period. Meanwhile. the to-
tai expenditure for schools
has jumped 27O per cent and
the capital outlay for school
buildings more than 300 per
cent.
Under these circumstances
1t is high time that the edu-
cationistS stopped raising the
smokeScreen OF inadequate
expenditures. as a means Of
camouflaging their lack of
efficient administration of
public funds. Let them con-
centrate on raising educa-
tional standards and teach
thoroughly the basic sub
jects Of reading. writing and
arithmetic. Costly buildings,
frill subjects. overheavy
supervisory stats can ruin
the financial standing Of the
country. They cannot provide
good schools and properly
educated students.

Toxpoyer Pays

A recent correspondent
wonders why Mr.. Eisenhower
must go gallivanting abroad
on an extended tour, travel
ing like royalty of old-and
all at the expense of Amerl-
can taxpayers. The answer
is simple. The man has grown
so accustomed to pomp and
power that 1t seems the last
ounce Of luxury must be ex-
tracted before the day he
relinQuishes his Office and re-
tires to what in comparison
will be poverty, on his Penn
sylvania acres.
Time was when Presidents
stayed home, attending to
the executive duties for
which they had been elected.
To date Mr.. Eisenhower has
proved to be our most ex-
pensive occupant of the
White House. His numerous
vacations, the use of Govern
ment planes for his family,
his rests after spending an
arduous one-day stint at his
oftice-herein lies at least
part Of the answer to your
writer's query.
Richard Nixon, instead of
exercising his constitutional
duties of presiding over the
Senate, has made numerous
luxurious trips outside the
country, and is planning an
other for spring, so as to
keep his name prominently
before the voters. And these
trips of the Vice President
and his encourage are also
at taxpayers expense. Why
registered Democrats should
be billed for Mr.. Nixon's
campaign publicity stunts is
just another of the unjust
practices of Republican office
seekers.
It's time for a change.
