Lysistrata, when written was
two things: a Dionysian comedy
based on the comic idea that wo-
men could bring peace to Athens
by not sleeping with their war
inclined men; and a satire direct
ted against the fools who ran
Athens in All BIC.
In pagan Greece sex was open,
it's intricacies and pleasures as
free as breathing: (Directional
street signs often consisted of the
erection of Hermes) Temples
were dedicated to Aphrodite.
But in our America, snickered-.
at-sex is merely a past time for
the poor and the rich.
| doubt if an essentially puri-
tan-ascetic society such as ours
could make sense of the drama
tized desire of the Greeks for
physical love. The absurdity of
interpreting Greek mores through
American eyes was emphasized
by the costumes of false naked
ness; grotesque red nipples
painted on form-fitting skintight
breasts.
The political satire has also
lost much of its meaning. Greek
women had status only a little
higher that slaves (wEo were the
basis of Greek economic prosper
ity). All important state tasks
were the prerogatives of the men.
The sight of Lysistrata and she
she-companions discussing war
and politics must have seemed
bold to the Tthenians. But to Am
orleans, used to having women
dominate important aspects of
our civilization and meddling in
many others, the joke rings hol-
low. Satire does peep through
when Aristophanes has the op-
posing heroes of Athens and
Sparta air their inane reasons
for fighting, or when the old Lee
gionaires boast of their exploits.
The production Of the Phoe-
nix Company, though spirited, is
about twenty centuries and two
civilizations off-base. People are
basical1y the same-hence the
still-strong appeal of a Greek
tragedy. But a satire based on
customs and situations long
changed requires other adrena-
Inns.

Book Review 80.

reproductive cells entails a GER
tain risk, that the effect of mu-
tation is almost always harmful,
that mutations causing small eff
fects may in the long run be as
important or more important than
those with more drastic effects,
that the dose from natural back
ground and from medical radia-
ton in technologically advanced
countries is much greater than
that currently arising from fall
out, but that the latter because
of it's worldwide distribution may
have large absolute effect
These conclusions are in agree
ment with those of the reports
referred to before. In the authors
own words: "Much human mis-
cry is the result of mutations that
have arisen in the past; more n1u-
tation will mean more human
misery"
Regarding fallout they write:
"Just how many mutations are
induced by the added increments
of radiation, exposure is uncer-
tain; in all likelihood, these rep
resent only a fraction of the total
number of spontaneous or nor
mali mutations. Nevertheless,
since the additional radiation is
worldwide, the absolute number
of additional mutations may be
large. At any rate, these muta-
tons will add to human suffer
ing. Moreover, the genetic dam
age does not end - in fact, it
scarcely begins - with the ex-
posed generation. We are inflict-
ing damage on future generations
some of which will live when our
present controversies are mere
historic curiosities."
Since Wallace and Dobzhansky
and their researches have been
identified in some governmental
and scientific circles with doubt
about the seriousness of the ge-
netic risk this book with such
statements as quoted above has
special significance in showing
the essential unanimity of genet
icists on this question, Further
more, the authors align them
selves with those who would stop

are widely regarded as models of
clear scientific writing.
The views of the authors on
some aspects of population genet
les are controversial, and in my
opinion are probably wrong.
However, these are relegated to
the next-to-last chapter and Ia
beled as speculative. The general
reader will probably skip these
pages, while geneticists can dis
cuss them in their own journals,
along with some technical errors
and inconsistencies, which mar
the book from the geneticist's
standpoint, but which do not al
ter the overall conclusions.

Boarding School

Monday morning the school
children were forced to stay
home, many surrounding towns
were also snow blocked. The
ranchers were forced to feed
their cattle and the farm to mar
ket highway was very bad. The
heavy snow has brought the mois-
ture badly needed by the farm
ers and natural meadows in the
community.
Mrs. Josephine Crane and fam
lily from Billings which includes
two little girls, Serphine and
Annalisa are visiting at the Spot
ted Bear apartment. Her grand
son was born a week ago. Her
daughter is a nurse at the local
hospital.
Miss Geneva White Man is a
student teacher at the high
school. She is an Indian girl and
plans to take higher education.
Mrs. Harold Barger, who has
been staying with her mother
in-law, Mrs. Laura Barger, left
with her sister on visit to AL
berta.
The garages have been busy
starting cars. The snow plow
cleared the heavy snow off the
streets for traffic.
Supt. Johnson accompanied a
group of Blackfeet to Billings.
After introducing the group to
Percy Melis and the staff Off
GERS of the area office a letter

when Seward pilot William Hammerly failed to return from a hunting trip in his single engine Taylorcraft Saturday, October first, joint Coast Guard-Civil Air Patrol search was organized with two CG UF's from Kodiak and four CAP aircraft from Seward taking part.
 On Sunday afternoon CAP pilot Roy Bryson spotted the wrecked plane on the Nellie Juan River, about twenty miles north of Se- ward. Just before dark Alfred Tofflemire landed near the crash site with Dr. Paul Isaak. Dr. Isaak treated Hammerly througout the night.
 During the night a co helicopter was disassembled at Kodiak, load ed aboard C123 cargo plane and flown to Seward. Early Sunday morning the helicopter was reas- sembled. LCDR Glenn Smith, a helicopter pilot from the CGC Northwind, evacuated Hammerly to Seward where a waiting ambu- lance took him to Seward hospi- tai.
 Dr. Isaak reported Hammer ly's condition fair, considering the two nights he had spent with the wrecked aircraft. He was suffer ing from broken arm or wrist, a possible broken shoulder, a dis

1867 Newspaper Slams
Acquisition of Alaska

Tuesday was Seward Day, and
all Alaskans paused to pay trib-
ute to the man who took lot of
ridicule when he purchased Alas
ka from Russia.
The following excerpt is from
the Montreal Gazette of April 80,
1867:
"The Russians seem to be quite
elated at the success of their nego-
tiations for the sale of Russian
America, and, to use a current
term, evidently think that the
United States have got a hard
bargain The Yankee cuteness of
the latter, however, will yet stand
them in good stead. It was gener-
ally supposed that the bargain
would have to be settled for in
good hard gold, equal to at least
eleven millions in greenbacks. But
in this it appears we were all mis-
taken, the Russian Government
being satisfied to take the account
out in Monitors instead of gold.
We do not know what these may
be worth piece, but as they can
not have cost much less than a
million each, the Russians, if Con-
gress consents, will be entitled to
seven or eight. They would he un-
doubtedly well adapted to the
shallow waters of the Baltic, but
the dificultuy will be to get them
there. In any event both parties
would be mutually satisfied. The
United States will hae a territory
perfectly useless for all practical
purposes, and the Russians fleet
of slowgoing, half-worn-out war
vessels which can never keep
the sea or make head against the
swifter, heavier and handler iron
clads of the old world"

FISH AND GAME PUTS
SUDDEN HALT TO
KING CRAB FISHING

ANCHORAGE, R = The Alas
ka Department of Fish and Game
issued an emergency regulation
Wednesday that closed down
much of Kachemak Bay to COM
mercial king crab fishing at 1901
am. yesterday.
Central area supervisor Charles
Meacham said fishing would not
be permitted east of a line drawn
from Anchor Point to hubble
Point on the south side of the
bay after the midnight deadline.
Closure of the bay was recon-
mended by district management
biologist Clarence Weberg. We
berg said it has been discovered
the crabs now have soft shells
and much damage to male and
female crabs by the fishery has
been noted.
In addition, he said, much OF
the crab population is now be-
ginning to spawn.
''Present utilization of stocks is
not compatible with proper con-
servation and management prac-
tees" Meacham said.
The decision to issue the regu-
lation was made Tuesday night
Meacham said, in pointing out the
department is able to act rapidly
in meeting changing situations on
the fishing grounds.

ASTRONOMY NOTES
BY OLAF HALVERSON

1t is believed that a comet de-
rives its light, except that portion
which is reflected sunlight, from
electrical discharges between it's
particles. By some influence
emanating from the sun, gas is
emitted from the scattered swarm
Of meteoric particles which COM
pose the head. These stream out
like smoke from locomotive in
magnificent luminous trail.
This only occurs when in the vici-
nifty of the Sun.
Each time the comet comes
back to the sun, it loses some of
its beauty and its mass decreases.
In the course of time, the comet
become disintegrated and it's path
way scattered with debris. AS
tronomers now claim that meteors
are the remains of worn out
comets because meteoric swarms
follow along the orbits of for
mer comets.
When the earth crosses the or
bit of a disintegrated comet, or
meteoric swarm, the fragments
become shooting stars.

Camp David Plan
Encouraging
Says Red Delegate

GENEVA, R - The United
States and Britain formally SUBJ
united the Camp David plan for
nuclear test ban to the Soviet
Union yesterday.
The plan challenged the Soviet
Union to remove the obstacles to
a partial test ban treaty by agree
ing to control details.
Soviet delegate Semyon Tsar-
apkin said the Western proposals
are ian encouraging step for
ward" but require extensive
Qualification.
He told newsmen he will sub
init questions on the plan at sub
sequent meetings of the three
power treaty negotiations after
the Camp David proposals,
worked out by President Eisen-
hover and British Prime Minis
ter Harold Macmillan, have been
studied in Moscow.
In the donation disarmament
conference, also sitting in Geneva,
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Valerian Zorin proposed that a
treaty banning nuclear weapons
tests be linked to a promise from
world powers to renounce agrees
sion and use of atomic and hydro
gen weapons. He said these steps
should be taken in advance of a
general disarmament treaty.
If this approach is accepted,
Zorin said, it will open the way
to solution of the nuclear prob
lem as whole and represent ian
important cat of confidence"
The Western powers described
Zorin's move as an attempt to
commit them to moral obliga-
ton which cannot be enforced.
British Minister of State David
Ormsby-Gore said yesterday the
Soviet plan for total disarmament
would plunge the world into
anarchy. te
Ormsby-Gore told the confer
ence that the Soviet plan is I'M
acceptable to. the Western pow
ers particularly because it makes
no provision for an international
police force to maintain world or
der after the big powers have
liQuidated their armed forces.

Prime Minister Hendrix YER
woerd carried out his threat to

vent new Negro demonstrations
after rounding up 234 leaders of
the campaign of defiance against
the governments race laws. Some
white liberals and Indians were
among those arrested.
The South African Parliament
met through Wednesday night in
Cape Town to speed action on
legislation for the outlawing of
the African National Congress,
the Pan-African Congress and

The government has already
assumed wide powers under the
state of emergency proclaimed
yesterday for most cities and
towns, including the right to ar

public safety. The regulations
include provision for bans on the
two chief weapons used so far
by Negro leaders in their cam
paign against the government =
work stoppages and demonstra-
tons.
With South Africa's 10 million
Negroes forming the hard core
of the nations labor force, the

to cause general dislocation or
