The Lid'sOff

Some Democratic leaders, such as
Senators Lyndon Johnson and Mike
Mansfield, have been wary of any direct
political attack on the Eisenhower ad-
miniStration as result of the Paris
f1aSco. Senator Mansfield, for example,
has said that the handling of the U-2
incident might become subject for
congressional investigation "at the
proper time, in>cloSed session, without
political motives and might we'll be
delayed until next year." But this is
mood which is not apt to enjoy
long life.
Vice President Nixon is under fire
for his disclosure of Russian spy activ-
tiles while Mr.. Khrushchev was in this
country-a disclosure which we assume
was not entirely devoid of partiSanship.
And Adlai Stevenson, making what was
supposed to have been a minor speech
in Chicago, has turned loose an all-out
blast against the President and his ad-
ministration'S handling of the spy plane
affair. He says the administration sup
piled Mr.. KhruShchev with the "crow-
bar and the Sledgehammer" which the
Russian used to wreck the Paris con-
ference, and he accuses the President,
without specifying his evidence, of hav-
Ing proudly" asserted that he was
responsible for ordering the flight.
There is no reason to believe that
the President ordered this particular
fight, nor that he proudly" asserted
he was responsible for ordering any
fight. Nevertheless, Mr.. Stevenson is
correct, we think, in his basic conten-
tion-that, especially in its public state
mentS, the administration badly mis-
handled the U2 matter.
This is not something that can be
ignored or huShed up, especially in a
campaign year. 1t would have become a
partisan issue even if Mr. Stevenson had
not given it the first push, and the par
tiSanShip will become more intense as
the campaign moves along. But it is
dangerous issue, knife that is quite
capable of cutting both ways. Given the
climate created by Mr.. KhruShchev'S
outrageous abuse of Mr.. Eisenhower, any
excessive Democratic attack on the
President is very likely to boomerang
on the attacker-and men who are wise
in the ways of politics know it.

Castro and the Church

1t is interesting, If not significant,
that Nikita Khrushchev-with charac-
teriStic braShneSs and mendacity-has
warmly Endorsed Fidel Castro's Cuban
revolution" and expressed the hope that
other Latin American countries will
stage similar rebellions against the
imperialism" of the United States.
This Statement-made by the Soviet
leader during the course of the outrage
Gus news conference he held after
wrecking the Paris summit meeting
speaks pretty much for itself as meas
ure Of the Kremlin'S readiness to pro-
mote disorder and subversion in the
Western Hemisphere. Premier Castro
may or may not be embarrassed by it.
Indeed, he may even find it flattering.
But many of his countrymen-poSSibly
the overwhelming majority-will be
much more impressed, and conduct
themselves accordingly, by the admoni-
tory pastoral letter addressed to them
this week by Archbishop Enrique Perez
SeranteS of Santiago de Cuba.
The Archbishop, who is credited
with having saved Fidel Castro from
execution some years ago, and who has
been friend of the Premier ever since,
has couched his warning in rather blunt
language. Cuba'S enemy, he has written,
is communism, and it is an enemy al
ready within the gateS"-an enemy to
be Stunned by all good Catholics (Cuba's
population is predominantly Catholic)
as the 'implacable" foe of Christianity.
Hence, in the words of the pastoral
letter, God-fearing Cubans must "Sepa-
rate" themselves from this political and
theological evil and remain aloof" from
it in every way.
In Cuba today, anti-communiSm of
this sort is condemned by the leftiSt
extremists as "counter-revolutionar
crime to be punished either by long i'm
priSonment or by death before firing
squad. The Archbishop of Santiago,
however, is spiritual leader who must
be handled with great care by the die
tatorShip in Havana. To that extent
at least, the Castro regime is still sub
ject to certain kind of restraint.

many alert readers, How can
we get this Stacker to 60 back

Sincerely, T. w. F. H."
Let him alone, is our ad-
vice.
He will do as he pleases,
anyway.
That is one Of the charms
Of our American mocking-
bird.
He is a true individualist.
He perches where and how
he pleaseS, sings as he will,
and enjoys life all day long,
and often far into the night.
Thomas Jefferson called
him an angel in feathers.
Light sleeping persons
sometimes cali him by less
perfect names, as he keeps
them awake on moonlit
nights.
The best thing such a
listener can do is to enjoy
the music. Night singing by

A mockingbird has his own
ideas Of what to attack, and
when.
We do not think the human
element in the scene has
much to do with it. The bird
will bomb-dive certain birds
one time, ignore them the
next, and the home owners
really do not enter the pic

course, and that is where the
fun comes in.

ideas Of our lives, our whims
and our desires.
If he seems to respond to
our urges, he is doing so
solely out Of his own life.
This beauty has caused much
human perturbation by his
habit of acting the role of
dog in the manger, and keep
ing other birds away from
food he does not want. He
acts this way because it is
in him to act his way. He is
not really mean. He is Just
a mockingbird. Compared

Hydrogen bombs" are ex-
ploding all over the face Of
the sun.
They are indicated by very
bright red spots which can
be seen with powerful tele-
scopes, whose spectra show
strong lines of hydrogen
compared to the rest of the
solar surface. Their signifi-
cance remains undetermined,
according to a report to the
National Academy of Sciences
by DR.. Robert r. McMath Of
the University of Michigan
observatory where intensive
observation has been in
progress for the past two
years.
They are certainly very
powerful hydrogen gas ex-
plosions of some sort. At the
start of the observations, DR..
McMath reports, it was hoped
to establish some association
between these hot points and
the great solar flares which
send streams of fire thou

There appears, however, to
be no association.
On the other hand, &C
cording to his report to the
academy, the bombs" seem
to be associated in some way

patches which develop on
the suns face and sometimes
are associated closely with

According to our study,
the bombs have such general

WSTAS IN SCIENCE
Snake Venom Promotes Nerve Growth
By THOMAS R.HENRl

There is an elusive some
thing" in snake venom and
in the saliva-secreting glands
of mice which promotes the
growth of nerves-including
humans-but is extremely
difficult to isolate except from
these two sources. Very small
quantities produce great ef-
fectS. 1t applies especially
to nerves of the autonomic
nervous system, which con-
troll involuntary and uncon-
Scious body activities, with
centers in the base of the
brain and in the upper spine.
Preparation of this power
ful agent in pure form has
been reported to the National
Academy of Sciences by DR..
Stanley Cohen of Washing
ton University, st. Louis. He
also reports preparation of
an "anti-Serum" which not
only blocks completely the
effects of the substance but
has precisely opposite effects.
By means Of it the autonomic
nervous system can be COM
pletely destroyed in expert
mental animals fact which
may prove a powerful tool
in neurological research.
1t makes its appearance
only after the nervous system
is fairly well developed. Ap-
parently it is essential for
the maintenance of the invol-
untary system, rather than
acting only as a growth pro-
moter. 1t is also, the report
points out, probably universal
in the animal kingdom but
its source IS unknown. Snake
venom glands and mouse
salivary glands would appear
to be storage places, rather
than places Of origin.
Affects Other Animals
1t is not, DR.. Cohen's ex-
periments show, specific for
species. Injections Of the
anti-serum to the protein ex-
tracted from mouse glands
affected rats, cats and rab-
bits in exactly the same way
as mice. The material from
mouse glands and snake ven
ON appears to be identical.
In assays Of mouse glands
only traces Of activity could
be detected up to II days Of
age, essentially the period of
infancy. During the period
from Is to so days, when
adult levels are reached, there
was an increase of several
thousand-fold, DR.. Cohen re-
ports. In all age groups. male
mice showed considerably
more of the material than fe-
males.
The substance was barely
detected in salivary gland Sc
cretions Of adult rats and
hamsters-but the activity
was less than a thousandth
that from the glands Of adult
mice. Bare traces could be
detected in cows.
Although chemically the
two are probably the same,
the material obtained from
mouse glands was ten times
as potent as that from snake
venom.
In an auxiliary report to
the National Academy, Drs.
Rita Levi-Montalcini and
Barbara Booker, also of
Washington University, re-
port extracting either the
same or a very similar
growth promoting substance
from certain types of mouse
cancer. There is room for
speculation that it may be a

WHITE FLINT DRIVE.

WHITE FLINT DRIVE
Dear Sir:
my wife and I have q
problem and I hope you can
help us.
Our problem is similar to
the one Of the man who
taught his dog to play chess
Everyone thought the dog
was very smart but the own
er. He knew better. He was
beating the dog regularly.
Zone Of the regular visi-
tors at our window feeding
station is a mockingbird. At
first he used. to bully the
small birds and drive them
from the feeder. Then we
would drive him away, until
he soon got the idea and left
them alone.
after his snack, he would
fly to- our chimney top where
he could keep an eye on the
feeder and pay for his din
ner with a concert down our
fireplace f1ue. From his post
he soon observed that the
visitors we did not want were
the grackles. Breakfast for
two grackles took the equiva-
lent of breakfast for all our
regulars-four cardinals, two
titmice, four chickadees and
a half dozen assorted SPAR
rows.
zone day much to our
pleasure and amazement
Mocker came to our assist
ance.
Before we could get to
the window and shoe away
a grackle, down from the
chimney came Mocker like
a bomb diver, and away
went the grackle.
"At first we thought it was
a coincidence, but when it
happened again and again
we realized our smart Mock
er had come to our rescue.
Things were fine until
Mocker became quite proud
of his accomplishment. With
a flourish Of feathers he
would swoop and send the
grackleS flying. But alas,
after the first dive, he would
soar to the chimney top and
in glorious tones tell the
world all about it.
Soon he would become so
engrossed with his own voice,
he would sing to the heavens.
Meanwhile below the willy
grackles soon observed that
after the first dive Mocker
was a useless guardian.
"And while he sang, they
ate and ate and ate. And so
they continue.
