Washington Letter
Biological Warfare
Possibility Shocks

TEN DEMOCRATIC men,
bers Of Congress have joined
in q proposal that the United
States separate its gas and
germ warfare research into
offensive and defensive fields.
They also suggest that this
country stress its opposition
TO the use of such weapons
unless an enemy uses them
first.
This last proposal already
has been opposed in some
quarters on the basis that a
surprise germ warfare attack
could be so devastating as TO
deprive the victim Of the
power to retaliate.
What defenses are there
against an array Of germs
which, falling noiselessly, I'M
seen and unsmelled, from the
sky, could spread diseases
among men. cattle and crops;
could be employed by an en-
envy with the greatest secre-
cy Git might be days after an
attack before the victims
would know that they had
been c-ontaminated); which is
attractive to the sggressor
because it does not destroy
the property to be invaded,
only its defenders?
THERE is A SEARCH on
for medical antidotes. There
is also being sought a quick
way of detecting such an at
tack, of identifying the type
of germs being used and Of
prescribing the proper anti
dote, if it is available. 1t is
urged that thought be given
to construction of fallout shell
tiers "impervious to chemical
and biological agents" Pres
ent falIout shelters apparent
ly do not have this quality.
1t is also foreseen that,
should there be danger of a
biological warfare attack,
men and women may have to
go about in protective masks
and clothing.

w A > II lNJION - A
picture Of future warfare
more fantastic than all
but a very few people
have ever imagined looms
on the horizon.
A little of this picture was
revealed a few months ago in
testimony given at Congress
sional hearings here. More Of
it was unveiled in talks be-
fore the national meeting Of
the American Chemical Soci-
ETY. in Cleveland a few days
ago. Much of the theory and
development of this country's
part in the picture is headed
up in this city and at nearby
Fort DERRICK, Md.
IT lNVoL YES biological
warfare, which conceivably
could be much more generally
destructive of human life than
a conflict waged with atomic
missiles. We have the capaci-
ty to wage this war On a GER
tain level. It is assumed here
that Soviet Russia has the
same capability. There are
even hints that the commun-
ist bloc Of nations may al
ready have surpassed US, or
may in the future.
The possibilities Of germ
warfare are so shocking that
one is led to wonder whether
nations would ever resort to
it. Al the same time, there IS
a saying among military plan
ners that, today, there is no
substitute for victory in war
fare. This means that destruc-
ton and subjugation are so
devastating for the vanquish-
ed that no nation can afford
to. lose. This being so, would
one side or the other in a life
and death struggle refrain
from resorting to bacteria
logical weapons if it were fac
ed with defeat?
AMONG THE WEAP o NJ
already available or foreseen
are gases that affect the free
will of the defenders OF a ma.
ton and make them happy to
surrender to an invader; bac-
terra and viruses which, drop
ped from a plane in $50
pound packages, could sicken
up to IS per cent of the peo-
pie in an area $4,000 miles
square, and nerve gases"
that kill in minutes.
Moreover, it is known that
certain substances exist In
nature, or can be made SYM
thetically, which are much
more potent than existing
nerve gas" Not many of
these substances have practi-
cal military value at the pres
ent time, but it is believed
that research can give them
this availability.
Experts are urging the
United States to press on with
its Investigations in this field.
They say that if the Soviet
bloc of nations outstrips the
United States in these de-
velopments "our nuclear
strength could be of academic
value" We are glad to be
searching even now for new
''psycho-chemicals" which
would not kill but would have
outlandish effects on the body

sorrows of Catholic mother
hood; but books by and/or
about the average Catholic
father are not so easy to come
by. Such a book is Eugene
Geissler's Family Man Fides,
$3.50. This is a sort of Sc
quel to an earlier collection of
the same sort of essays and
reflections, called Father of
the Family.
In the new book, Mr.. Cess
Ter combines description and
Interpretation of a Christian
sort of typical days in a faith
er's life with more theologic-
ally-based reflections on the
nature of paternal responsible
ity and the helps for exercis-
ing it that one gets from the
Bible and the liturgical life.
1T IS SIMPLE things that
Mr.. Geissler writes of: the
joys of digging holes in the
ground, the difficulty of find
ing the right shade of pig
ment to make a beautifully
pink paint, the way in which
little things that 60 wrong
can throw a whole day out Of
killer. But he also shows the
way in which familiar love
brings everything back into
focus by the end Of the day.
Mr.. Geissler writes moving
iy and very convincingly, and
it seems to me that this is a
good book for family con-
sumption - more especially
by the less-responsive and
less : catered to fathers of
large brnods.

Books of the Hour
Family Man, Nuns,
NeW Book Themes
by Fr. Bernard ThealI. O.S.B.

of the religious houses in Eng
land under Henry VIII affect
ed one small community of
less than a dozen Souls-Coke
Hill Priory in Warwickshire.
The head Of this house is a
strong-willed woman not I'M
reminiscent of the Prioress
who is one of the central fig.
ures in the earlier novel re-
ferred to above. Under her
are eight nuns, to each of
which the novelist gives loving
care in the matter of descrip-
ton and exploration of per-
sonality.
FOR interest,
the book depends upon the
love between Jane Ingham, a
young heiress who has been
placed in the care of Dame
Cecilia Wayte, the Prioress,
in order that she may decide
whether or not she has a vo-
cation to the religious life.
This decision is particularly
difficult because of her mon
ey (Which would be enough,
were it to go to the Priory,
to guarantee the houses sup
port indefinitely, and be-
comes even more difficult
when there returns to his an
cestral domain Sir John Acock
owner of the property on
which the Priory stands.
Two kinds of conflict are
played out in the book: that
between the s~trong-willed
Henry, anxious to push a sue
cessful conclusion "the Kings
great matter" the marriage
to Anne Boleyn, with its pre-
liminary annulment of the
marriage to Katherine Of Ara
gon; and the conflict within
the heart of Jane Ingham.
A THIRD KIND might also
be mentioned: that between
the doughty Dame Cecilia and
her determination to keep the
Priory inviolate at all costs,
and her foes both external
and internal. Externally, the
friends of Henry are bent on
spelling the monastic proper
ties; and internally, there are
confused and sometimes weak
willed nuns who are not sure
the fight is worth it. Of
course, Dame Cecilia loses, but
gradually and not until after
a very brave fight, in which
even the most reluctant of
her nuns joins.
Mrs. Charques is not, | be-
lieve, a Catholic, and she is
not always accurate on the
theological issues at stake, but
| think that one can say of
her spirit in writing what
was said of Hilda Prescott's
Man on The Donkey: that the
book shows plainly a realiza-
ton that something grand and
lovely went out of English life
with the disappearance of the
Old Religion and its institu-
lions.
One is reminded also of an
other earlier book on much
the same theme: Sylvia Town
send Warmers The Corner
That Held Them, but here the
nuns are a much more pleas
ant and believable group,
though the historical scholar
ship underlying the book is
stronger yet.

or so, we have had a good
