Horried Peocemoker

Blessed are the peacemakers, but
sometimes their lot can be hard. A case
in point is that Of Secretary General Dag
HammarSkjold as he strives to re-estab-
lish tranquility in the Congo in keeping
with the decisions of the United Nations
Security Council.
These decisions have been enacted
without single negative vote. Yet Mr..
HammarSkjold, in the process Of carry
ing them out, has run into all sorts Of
unpleaSantries. Wholly apart from the
BelgianS, who have been UNDERSTANDABLE
unenthuSiastic about the U. Ms han
ding of the situation, he has been sub
jected to numerous rebukes and rebuffs
from the opposing Congolese factions.
including particularly the followers of
Premier Lumumba's central government
in Leopoldville and the "secessionists"
headed by Premier Tshombe in Elisa
bethville, the capital of Katanga Prov
ince.
The Kremlin, however, is the biggest
fly in the healing ointment that Mr..
Hammarskjold is trying to apply to the
inf1amed Congo. In the Security Council
the Soviet Union voted in favor of the
course he has been purSuing-a peace
making course based on a policy of
strict neutrality as regards the dispute
between Leopoldville and EliSabethville.
Nevertheless, with characteristic con-
tempt for the truth, and with an equally
characteristic display of the technique
of the Big Lie, MoscoW's propagandiSts
have cut loose against him with
campaign of vilihcation. Among other
things, they have accused him Of playing
a "diSgraceful role" on the side Of Amer
lean "imperialists," Belgian colonial
lists" and Congolese traitors"
1t need hardly be added that all
this seems obviously calculated to keep
things aboil in the Congo. Certainly,
despite the Kremlin's U. N. vote in favor
of what Mr.. Hammarskjold has under
taken to do, Soviet propaganda plainly
indicates that Nikita Khrushchev and
Company are much more interested in
agitation than in pacification. And this
undoubtedly accounts in large measure
for the fact that Mr.. Lumumba (whose
popular support and theological bent are
open to some doubt, to put it mildly has
declared that the Congolese have lost
confidence in the Secretary General and
want him replaced Immediately by rep
reSentatives of IA African and Asian
nations.
Among these nations are several
Fundamentally in support of the U. MS
pacifying efforts under Mr.. Hammar-
skiold. Accordingly, despite the Lu-
mumba proposal and Soviet propaganda,
it may be hoped that they will refuse to
abandon those efforts at a time when
peace in the Congo may we'll be of vital
Importance to peace throughout the
world. In any event, Mr.. Hammarskjold
is returning for further consultation
with the Security Council, and he should
be unwaveringly supported.

Kennedy Holds Sway in Home State

for the job than any Of the
seven Democratic hopefuls.
The Kennedys, including
the Senator, his brothers,
sisters and all other members
of the large tribe, have for
years been building to this
effort to win the Presidency.
1t has been a constant ef-
fort in Massachusetts,. Back
of it has been the Kennedy
wealth, represented by the
Senator's father, former
Ambassador to Great Britain.
The Kennedys have covered
Massachusetts,, in this politi-
cal drive, like the dew.
Anti-Nixon Mood Fades
One thing noticeable, how
ever, is that the old Il don't
like Nixon" heard a year ago
on the lips of some Republi-
cans has disappeared. How
far this is true in the case of
independent voters is not
clear. The Vice President,
however, has grown in
stature here as in other
States. Further, voters are
looking at him in a new way
- as a candidate for Presi-
dent against the youthful, less
experienced, Jack Kennedy.
They also are taking a new
look at Senator Kennedy and
some are wondering whether
the Government of the United
States should be entrusted to
him in the serious days ahead.
And finally, there is a grow
ing Il don't like Kennedy"
cult arising. All this looks to
a bitter struggle in the next
two-and-a-half months. The
people are taking a keen in
terest in this political strug-
gle, although the actual
campaign, except for organi-
zation on both sides, has not
yet gotten underway.
The Republicans. when
they picked for their vice.
presidential candidate Am
bassador to the United Ma
tions Henry Cabot Lodge,
former Massachusetts Sen
ator, gave the COP. ticket
quite a lift here as elsewhere.
Mr.. Lodge has grown in
stature in this State as
throughout the country in the
nearly eight years he has
represented the Nation at the
United Nations. His uncom-
promising battle against ag-
gression by the Communist
Russians, his victories in
these contests. have won
him high regard.
While on the surface SEN
ator Kennedy and Gov.
Furcolo are united for the
coming campaign, there is
no real love between them.
The Senator's refusal to give
active support to the Gov
ernor in his 1854 race for
the Senate against Senator
Saltonstall was in large part
responsible for the Salton-
stall victory that year.
I have tried to set forth
some of the factors which
make a prediction of a tre-
mendouS margin of victory
for Senator Kennedy in Mas
sachuSetts difficult at this
point. AS the campaign
progresses the situation may
become much more clear.
The overwhelming opinion is
that the Democratic nominee
has Massachusetts, in his
pocket, and only the size of
his majority remains in
doubt. Indeed, if Senator
Kennedy failed to carry his
home State. it is doubtful he
could carry others.

Costro's Rontinq

There Is a vital lesson for
our country in the recent
Fidel Castro speech criticiz-
ing the Catholic Church. He
is quoted as comparing him
self with Christ, and this
country with the Roman
Empire. Castro said that
Jesus fought "the imperial
ism of yesterday-the Empire
of Rome" and that the en-
pire did not fail to disinte-
crate although they cruci-
fed Him" We hope the
priests Of Cuba will explain
that it was not the Roman
Empire which sought Christ's
death. 1t was a small group
of his own people. who were
colonials and enemies Of the
Roman state. Christ's atti-
tude toward Rome was to
give unto Caesar the things
that are Caesars" He en-
phasized that his kingdom
was not of this world. A
Roman army captain. the
centurion, openly sought his
assistance, and Christ openly
sspoke well of him. The
Roman government. preserv-
ing law and order in the far
away Roman colony Of Judea,
made it possible for Christ
and his disciples to travel
freely, to think freely, and
to promote their cause wher-
ever they went. The Roman
Empires local governor
found no fault in him."
Too few Of our political,
educational and religious
leaders are yet aware of the
necessity for the maintenance
of local law and order as an
essential condition to the
promotion either of Christi
anity or democracy. Many
influential persons still be-
lieve and teach that a revo-
luton against a dictator or a
colonial government is good
per Sc; they are satisfied
merely with the promises of
the revolutionary leaders.
Temporary chaos and law
lessness under inexperienced
even immoral, revolutionaries
are better than life under
British or Belgian or French
colonialism, or a Franco or
Batista dictatorship, they
argue. What we have not
learned by reasoning, we may
soon learn by experience. In
stead of British, Belgian
French keeping order in the
less civilized areas of the
world, their troops may be
doing so as United Nations
forces" and we will be pay
ing most of the bill. There is,
of course, an alternative.
Russia and Communist China
are quite willing to provide
the "law and order"

Pacific Ocean Has Four Bio Basins
By THOMAS r. HENRY

The Pacific is four seas in
one.
Earth's greatest ocean really
consists of four great, deep
basins separated by fairly
high ridges, according to a
report to the American Geo.
physical Union by DR.. Warren
S. Wooster of the Scripps
Institution of Oceanography
and DR.. Gordon H. Volkmann
Of the Woods Hole Oceano-
graphic Institution.
The report is based on OBJ
servations from 145 deep
oceanographic stations which
show differences between the
four abysmal areas in water
temperatures, potential tenn
peratures. salinity and
amounts of dissolved oxygen.
All the measurements were
at depths greater than 5
kilometers, region of eternal
calm and darkness where
superficial surface changes
would have little, if any
effect.
This report has Just been
published in the Unions
Journal of Geophysical Re-
search.
Conclusions Preliminary
Admittedly. the two report,
their conclusions are prelim-
mary. But, the report says.
"the number of deep oceano-
graphic observations in the
Pacific has more than doubled
since 1912 SO that one can
now describe abysmal condi-
tionS in greater detail. New
techniques, although promis-
ing, do not yet give unequivo-
cal answers. The observations
are so expensive and time
consuming that it will be
many years before a system
attic body of data is available
for the whole Pacific.
The four deep basins pos
tulated are a southern, north
ern, central and eastern. The
Pacific waters, says the report,
apparently constantly being
replenished, chiefly from the
Antarctic, and flow slowly
northward out of areas like
the great Bellingshausen S
Sea which cuts into the Ant
arctic continent.
In general. says the report,
the temperature of the water
strangely decreases from the
deep sea bottom upward,
contrary to all expectations.
The phenomenon, it is pointed
out. may be explained by some
source of bottom heat rising
from the earth's interior.
There is some difference
in the age of the basins, in

to north, assuming the re-

direction, due to mixing with

The highest temperatures and

indicates that the bottom
water in this basin is the
oldest in the ocean.

There is an almost continu-
Gus high ridge paralleled by
a narrow valley extending
across both Atlantic and In
dian Oceans. 1t may circle
the world, like a belt.
This has just been reported
to the American Association
for the Advancement of Sci
ence by Drs. Maurice Ewing
and Bruce C. Hazen of the
Lamont Geological Observa-
tory of Columbia University.
This constitutes an earth
quake center throughout it's
extent.
Existence of the Atlantic
part of the belt has been
known for some years. That
it extends past South Africa
into the Indian Ocean has
been determined by six cross
ings made by the observa-
tory's exploring ship Vienna.
Splits in Two Branches
There is no suggestion of
the Indian Ocean part of the
ridge on most oceanic charts,
the report says. Hitherto
there has been no evidence
of it over a span of at least
1000 miles. 1t splits up, the
Vema'S soundings showed. into
two branches, one of which
extends towards the Pacific
where there also are evidences
of the belts continuation.
All the Vemas crossings,
says the report, confirm the
existence of a deep, narrow
valley coinciding exactly with
the belt of earthquake epi-
centers.
Both the mid-oceanic ridge
and the rift valley" says the
report. have the same char
actcristicS in the Indian Ocean
as those previously described
in the Atlantic. Apparently

HYANNIS, MaSS.-This is
Kennedy land. No one dares
to dispute it. In fact, the Re
publicans appear to have re-
signed themselves to an in
evitable Kennedy victory in
Massachusetts, come Novem-
ber. This, to be sure, may
change as the campaign gets
under way. Nor does this
mean that the Republicans
like Senator John F. Ken
nedy, the ocratic
nominee for President, nor
his father, millionaire Joe
Kennedy.
The big problem here is
what the independent voters
will do on election day. More
voters register independent
in Massachusetts than either
as Democrats or Republicans.
Senator Kennedy in his re-
election in 1858 received a
huge majority, which in
cluded not only Democrats
but Independents and some
Republicans. He was running,
however, against a candidate
who had little to offer, an
unknown in Statewide politics
and with no voter appeal.
This year, the Senator is
running for President of the
United States. He is expected
to get virtually all the voters
Of the Catholic faith, Demo-
cratic, Republican and inde-
pendent. 1t is a huge block of
votes in this State. 1t would
be a political miracle should
Vice President Nixon, his
Republican opponent, be able
to roll up enough votes to
overcome Senator Kennedy
under these circumstances.
Nevertheless the independ-
ent vote remains the decisive
vote, certainly if an election
is at all close. While Senator
Kennedy is, apparently, not
involved in the factional
struggle for the Democratic
nomination for Governor, it is
a fact there are seven candi-
dates in that race. 1t is to be
settled, one way or another
in a September primary cleo
tlon. Gov. Foster Furcolo is
not a candidate to succeed
himself. His ambition is tc
become Senator, and he will

the good material available is neg

good packaging. If temperatures
and fresh food quality are right
the package can make the differ

To freeze fresh foods quality is
your keynote. You will take out OF
the package the quality of that

products should be used for freez-
ing. Freeze in small quantities SC
the products will be fresh. Various
pamphlets may be secured from

and storage of fish, fruits, and
vegetables and meats. When freez-

There is a trend toward "easy
