A Sordid Business

United States Attorney Oliver GaSch
Is fully justified in putting before grand
jury the charge by a colored domestic
worker that she was raped by four white
policemen. For her story, if true, reveals
as sordid a piece of business as has
cropped up in this city in long time.
To say this is not to prejudge the
case. The policemen involved deny the
charge, and their guilt certainly is not
to be taken for granted. This is especially
so with respect to the criminal charge
which has been lodged against them, for
this requires proof that force was used.
Even on the basis of the woman'S story,
the evidence on this point is weak.
This is not the kind of case, however,
which should be handled exclusively in
the light of what can or cannot be proved
In criminal trial. The Police Depart
ment has duty, which it is diScharging,
to investigate this accusation as an ad-
miniStrative matter, with a view to pos
Slble disciplinary action. In this connec-
ton, particular attention should be paid
to such things as the initial refusal Of
three OF the policemen to take lie de-
tector tests, the fact that the radio tape
records indicate that they were in the
vicinity at about the time of the al
legged incident, the identificationS, posi-
tive, tentative and negative, which the
complainant made after viewing police
hneups, and the story of the man she
says she was with when the first po-
Hce squad car drove up. The question is
whether the net result of such an in
SeStigation, even though it might not
meet the standard of proof required in
criminal prosecution, would justify dis
ciplinary action within the Police De-
partment. If so, if there is sufficient
reason to believe that the incident oc-
Cured, regardless of whether the woman
consented or not, the offending police
men should be dismissed from the force.

May and Mr.. K.

At his press conference in Indone-
Sia the other day, Premier KhruShchev
left the impression with some reporters
that the Kremlin would Immediately
sign separate peace treaty with East
Germany if the May summit meeting
failed to persuade the Western Big Three
to come to terms with the Soviet Union
on Berlin'S status and an overall Ger
man solution.
Assuming this impression to be cor
rect, then it would seem that the Rus
sian leader has ominouSly revived the
ultimatumlike time limit he specifically
disavowed last September after his talks
with President Eisenhower at Camp Da-
vid. And if that is the fact of the matter,
if he has really revived it, the projected
summit conference may well be endan-
gered, for the WeSt-aS it has repeatedly
emphasized not negotiate with the
SovietS under any form or suggestion
of threat or dureSS,
There is reason to believe, however,
that Mr.. KhruShchev has been miSinter-
preted in 1ndoneSia. At any rate, the
text of his comment on separate peace
treaty certainly seems much too ambig-
uouS to be read as fiat and unqualified
assertion that he will forthwith conclude
such a treaty with the East Germans
(who then could put Stranglehold on
free Berlin) if the May summit get-to-
gether fails to bring the West around to
his way of thinking. Actually, on it's face
at least, the text makes no reference to
q Of iYon nj
script of other parts of his press con-
ference quotes the Soviet Premier as
Q) believing in "the good intentions"
of the Western leaders and (2) vowing
to work sincerely with them for "a sue
cesSful conclusion" of the forthcoming
negotiations.
Yet, even though he thus does not
appear to have reneged on his Septem-
Der diSavowal Of time limit, Mr.. Khru-
shchev is still holding fast-as he has
done since November, 1958-to his basic
position. Summed up in somewhat over
Simplif1ed terms, the position is this:
That he will sooner or later sign sep
arate treaty with the puppet East Ger
mans if he cannot reach agreement with
our side in Transforming West Berlin
into free city" and laying the ground
work for Germany'S reunification along
the lines he has insisted upon.
So it looks as though even first-stage
or interim agreements may be exceed
ingly difficult to reach at the May sum-
nit meeting. More important still, if
that meeting ends in total deadlock, Mr..
Khrushchev's follow-up moves are likely
to be highly challenging, and the West
had better be prepared for some rather
hard going in cold war that could sud
denly become hot.

Noise in the Sky

.. With spring just around the corner
and the season of open windows ap-
preaching, it is gratifying to learn that
the Federal Aviation Agency is planning
to do something about the noise nui-
sance created by the low-fying aircraft
An the Washington area. The FAA has
announced that it will sternly enforce
flying patterns designed to take the
planes away from residential sections or
keep them at such height that earth
bound citizens will not be seriously dis
furbed.
There are already patterns which
1airlinerS are supposed to follow over the
Potomac River when taking off or land
.ing at the National Airport-but OBJ
SServance of the flight paths has been a
smatter of voluntary compliance on the
Spart Of the pilots. AS a result, some of
sthe pilots too often take short cuts over
.cloSely built-up communities in the Dis
"trict and nearby Virginia Residents have
Icomplained of window-rattling CONVEX
S.Sation- drowning roarS of airliners at low
s.taltitudes.
) Under present rules, the pilots have
ssbeen told to follow the river upstream
sto Chain Bridge and downstream to Hun
.sting Towers in Alexandria before break
ling out" on their regular routes. New
..regulationS, to take effect April 4, will
,smake these flight paths and break-out
points compulsory on all airliner pilots.
sViolatorS of the pattern will be held to
account by the FAA. We hope the agency
will rigidly enforce the antinoise regu-
elationS-for the sake of erve-shattered
presidents who have suffered so long from
.the decibel din of off-course aircraft.

Fair Answer to Havana

The United States answer to Cuba
on the latter's proposal for joint exam
ination" of mutual problems goes as far
as it can, or should go. 1t welcomes the
expressed willingness" of the Havana
government to seek improvement of re-
lationS through negotiations and Sug-
geStS that there be exploration through
normal diplomatic channels of the sub
jectS to be discussed and the manner
and place for such conversations.
At the same time, it properly rejects
an arrogant condition attached to the
Cuban offer to the effect that we should
pledge ourselves in advance not to take
any unilateral action that Havana might
consider harmful to the Cuban economy.
For several reasons any such one-Way
pledge would be undignified, unwise and
virtually impossible to guarantee. AS the
State Department note points out. our
Government must remain free in the ex-
ercise of sovereignty, and the suggestion
it should be restricted as condition for
negotiations is thoroughly unacceptable.
Furthermore, since the proposed lin
itation obviously is an effort to pre-
vent a change in the preferred status
given to Cuban sugar in the Ameri-
can market, an advance promise would
eliminate one of our strongest bargain
ing weapons. And finally, as the Castro
government should know, the executive
branch cannot bind Congress-where &C
tion must be taken this year, unless the
Sugar Act is to expire entirely.
Actually, there has been no Sugges-
ton at the White House or the State De-
partment that punitive action on sugar
is contemplated or desired. Our own Gov
ernment has, in fact, been notably re-
strained in its official reaction to the
conduct of the Castro regime-includ-
ing its seizure of American property and
its violent oratorical and government
controlled press attacks on the United
States. 1t is, in short, Cuba itself that
has been guilty of unilateral actS-which
the State Department points out in its
latest note have adversely affected" the
legitimate rights and interests of United
States citizens. Mr.. Castro should real
ize that there are potential risks, at least,
in this constant use of the United States
as target for his venom.
Our Government has said now that
it Shares" his willingness to discuss mu-
tual problems IN the spirit of "frater-
nal friendship" which has long existed
between the two countries. The discus
sions should be undertaken on this ba-
sis without further threats or one-sided
conditions.

This has Just been re-
ported to the American AS
sociation for the Advance
ment of Science by DR.. Dew
andra Lal and his associates
of the Scripps Institution of
Oceanography.
The sand" consists Of
atoms of silicon, second most
abundant element in the up
per crust of the earth. The
particles are produced when
coSmic rays hit nuclei of
atoms of the heavy gas argon,
which constitutes about one
per cent of air. Argon stands
just above silicon in the table
Of elements.
Undetectable on Land
The result is a radioactive
form of silicon. Roughly
about two pounds a second
fall on the entire surface of
the earth. This amount is so
minute that. so far as dry
land areas are concerned, it
is undetectable. The radio
active atoms very quickly
become mixed with the i'm
mense. amount of stable sili-
con where no method Of
analysis is delicate enough to
detect them.
In the seas, however, the
situation is quite different.
DR.. Lal and his associates re-
port. There is a dearth of
silicon in the waters, the
greater part being in the
form of sand grains blown
from deserts. The element
quickly enters into water
solution.
1t is. however, essential for
a vast host of microscopic
marine plants and animals
whose skeletons and shells
consist largely of silicon.
They must extract this from
the water solution.
The ratio of the Short
lived sand" to the long-lived
potassium isotope constitutes
roughly an age measurement
of the waters where the shells
and skeletons were formed
that is, how long this water
has been in the upper level
of the sea in any particular
region.

MOUNT RAINIER, Md.
Dear Sir:
"I have just had the hap
piest surprise of my life and
must tell you about it as I
think it may help other
mockingbirds.
I'm other winters I have
worried myself sick about
our special bird who comes
mornings for his raisins,
wondering where he sleeps
and finds protection from
the weather.
I'VE have a thick bush
where we have observed him
perched in the snow at
times, but this affords little
shelter. So I gradually moved
his feeding dish, hung from
a post, closer to the house
and finally onto the back
porch itself.
"He comes to it many times
a day. calling attention to
his presence by his loud
chirps.
"At the same time I placed
a bamboo pole at an angle
near the feeder and extend
ing to the back of the porch
for him to perch on should
he so desire.
So -
THE day when our first
snowstorm was at its height,
I looked out, and there he
was, safely ensconced on it
and away from the SHOWS
ravages. Believe it or not, I
actually cried with relief.
Nov this is silly, as I
suppose the weather does not
seriously affect the wild crea-
lures. Nevertheless, every
winter I spend much grief
sorrowing for them and am
sure many others do, too.
II have a friend who lives
right in the middle of the
hunting district, and she and
her husband are both actually
Ill as long as it lasts.
Il am, too. for I have seen
the shy, beautiful deer who
live there, and can't endure
the thought of them being
hunted down in so merciless
a fashion.
II wonder if the hunters ever
have Nightmares of being
hunted down themselves and
slain or wounded like these
poor animals.

Il started to tell you about
our mockingbird and how he
found protection from the
weather. I must tell you about
one of his cute tricks. In a
bird it is cute, but in a human
would be anything but.
THE other yards around
ours are full of birds.
II can see them in the
trees, and each time I open
the door their soft voices. like

A television apparatus that
is expected to take pictures
almost anywhere inside the
human body and project
them. magnified many times,
on an outside screen has been
developed for the Navy.
Soon nobody will be able
to guard even physiological
secrets. Just now the appa-
ratus is being used success
fully for viewing at a dis
tance the inside of the mouth
but there is every indication
that it will do equally well
for any cavity of the body.
1t is a so-called optical
PROBE" developed for the
Navy by the Avco Corp. OF
Wilmington, Mass.
TV cameras, according to
the Navy report, have had
limited use for dental work
in the past but have proved
generally impractical. They
can only view part of the
mouth, present a different
lighting problem and, be-
cause of their size, cause dis
comfort to both patient and
dentist.
How 1t Is Done
The optical probe system
consists of a bundle of light
sensitive fibers wound to-
gether in a small. whip
shaped cable with a fingertip-
size lens arrangement at the
probing end, coupled to a
closed circuit TV camera at
the other end. A bundle con-
tains up to 10000 hair-like
f1bers. Each tiny fiber picks
up light from a microscopic
section of the surface in front
Of it. and transmits the speck
of light to the other end.
With thousands of fibers
bound tightly into a cable a
picture made up of thous-
andS of the light segmenrs
can be sent from the lens
inside the patients mouth to
the camera and from there
to the screen where the tooth,
or even a small part of it, is
seen magnif1ed up to 35 times
its actual size.
1t represents, says the Navy
report, at least an enormous
advance for dentistry. Mir
ror probing inside the mouth
eventually may become a
thing of the past.
"The flexible probe, says
the Navy report, could
reach areas not now acces-
sible. 1t could display these
areas for inspection by sew
eral specialists for immediate
consultation and diagnosis.
1t would render dental oper-
ations completely visible to
students who in the past
have relied almost entirely
on the surgeons running
commentary for an under
standing of the operation"
Since the flbers can trans
nit light in both directions
they can also be used to
bring light into a body cav
ity from a remote source
without any electrical wires.
This means that body cavi-
ties could be illuminated for
