Jousts With Jets

Noise tests made by the
Federal Aviation Agency at
Dulles Airport at Chantilly,
Va, have led to the Govern
ment recommendation that
no homes be built within 3
miles of the ends of runways
to be used by jet planes. The
tests led to the conclusion
that people who attempt to
live within this limit cannot
stand the noise, and proper
ty values are lowered dras-
tically.
The same agency that
made the tests at Dulles is
allowing jet planes to land
and take off from Washing
ton National Airport in an
other kind of noise test-to
see how people in the District
and vicinity react. If not
enough of them register their
opposition, you may be sure
that the FAA will approve
the proposal of the airlines
to use National Airport reg
ularly for jets.
The airhnes are counting
on the natural inertia of most
people to keep the number of
protests low enough that the
FAA will feel bound to 60
along with their proposal. If
you object to excessive noise
with its undesirable mental
and economic effects, look
at a map of the District and
measure 3 miles from the
ends Of the runways at Ma
tional - and remember that
the noise would be objection
able far beyond the limits of
the area in which property
values would be depressed.
If you are going to be af-
fected, don't procrastinate -
write to the Administrator,
Federal Aviation Agency,
Washington 25, D. c., and let
your opinion be known.

Nation of Softies

The Presidents recent
speech at the New York Foot
ball Hall of Fame dinner and
your resultant editorial on our
Muscle Gap" categorizes our
situation as a national dis
grace because 1t was neces-
sary to call up 755, 900 men to
obtain 10000 physically
qualified to meet the crisis in
Berlin. No one will find fault
with your editorial. The truth
of the matter is that our
people at all age levels le-
present the weakest, physi-
cally. of any nation in the
world today. Administrations
in the past have been con-
cerned with this problem:
they. too, appointed name"
committees to deal with the
situation. Similar action is
taken from time to time in
the areas Of juvenile delin-
quency, alcoholism and crime.
Yet, in the declining days Of
1861, analysis will reveal that
our internal social problems
are steadily expanding and
are not being corrected. "a"
for effort is not the answer.
The proper key can and must
be found.
We are truly a nation o.
spectators a situation
helped along by over-adora-
ton Of the athletic hero in
our high schools and uni
verSities. President Kennedy
suggests that instead of
watching baseball, football
and basketball. etc., our
people take part in these
sports. 1t would be interest
ing to learn where he pro-
poses that the masses in
volved could do this. The
corner lot is fast disappear
ing because of commercial
interests and in this era of
Self-intereSt it would also be
extremely difficult to obtain
sufficient adult supervision.
Aside from the benefits to be
derived from strenuous activ-
ity our position would be
vastly improved if parents
would Immediately get their
children off wheels and back
on their feet. Here the
problem is one where adults
would rather "give in" than
go through initial arguments
involved with not allowing a
teen-ager to have a car or
refusing to drive a child to
the corner drugstore. There
is no society on earth that
makes such tremendous de-
mands upon an individual as
a democracy. Collectively, we
must learn to make the cor
rect choice in the light of
present day events or we will
eventually lose this valuable
privilege.

D. c. DELEGATE on Hill

The Citizens Advisory
Council recently held a hear
ing to determine the feelings
of District residents on legis-
lation to give us a non-voting
delegate to Congress. This
delegate would be elected by
qualified voters every two
years, would be paid $22,500
a year. could speak for the
District in Congress, and
would relieve Congress of
much of the time and head
aches involved with manage
ment Of our city.
Since about 10000 bills
are introduced at each ses-
sion of Congress, and since
Congress must also be great
ly involved with national and
international affairs, it is
sound reasoning that the Dis
trict's 764,000 people need a
representative who will be
mainly concerned with the
problems of Washington,
D. c. An excellent example is
the recent welfare cut which
many civic and church
groups have deplored. These
groups might have had direct
recourse to a representative
responsible to the citizens of
D. c., but instead, having no
one to argue their viewpoint
in Congress. they have had
to helplessly watch the cuts
carried out.
The findings of the hear
ingS will go to the Commits
sioners. after which the pro-
posed legislation will be sub
mitted to Congress at the
next session. The Citizens
Advisory Council, however,
has agreed to keep the rec
ord open for a week, and I
strongly urge all interested
individuals to send their
statements of support to the
Citizens Advisory Council,
District Building.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Trying to Kiss OFF Rockefeller?
BY GOULD LINCOLl

Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller
of New York, having en-
phatically denied a published
report he is abandoning pub
lie office and politics, has
just handed Mayor Bob Wag-
ner of New York, new Dem
ocratic boss, a letter stat
ing that he (the Governor)
will ask the legislature to
turn over rent control, a hot
potato, to the New York
City government. Apparently
the Republican Governor who
is seeking reelection next
year - possibly against Mr..
Wagner as the Democratic
nominees losing no time
in getting his campaign I'M
der way. Rent control in the
metropolis was taken away
and put under State control
in 1850 because of mishan-
ding by the city government.
The mayor, who has used
State rent control as an is
sue in his own campaigns
attacking the Republican
State government, will now
have to deal with this tick
lish business himself as soon
as the legislature has put
through the necessary legis-
lation. In his letter, the Gov
ernor warned the mayor the
city's administration of rent
control had better be good.
Questions Unanswered
The short-lived furry over
a report published in the
New York Daily News that
Gov. Rockefeller would soon
announced his withdrawal
from the race next year and
also would resign his office
after the next session of the
State legislature has passed.
But the questions from what
source and why was the re-
port made still await defin-
ite answers. The only party
benefiting from a Rockefel-
Ter decision to quit public
life would be the Democratic
Party. But the published re-
port asserted that he had
confided to Republican lead
ers his plans for retirement.
No Republican leader has
been found to confirm this.
Indeed, all those interviewed
have denied it.
There may be a reason
why the report was put out
in the fact its publication
and wide circulation-with-
out any effort to confirm
it from the Governor him
self-was to keep alive and
before the public the an
nouncement that Gov. and
Mrs. Rockefeller have separ-
ated and the separation is to
be followed by a divorce
Such a divorce, it has been
figured, will injure Gov
Rockefeller in his race for
reelection and in any effort
he may make for the Pres
idency of the United States
in 1864 or later.
Gov. Rockefeller, himself,
does not believe that his
impending divorce will have
any effect on his political
future. He told a press con-
ference this week he regarded
the matter as a personal
thing, and that his record
in office. not his private

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Extended Frozen Sleep VisuoIized
By THOMAS r. HENRY

Science now looks toward.
frozen sleep Of animals or
plants for generations in
states of suspended anima-
tion. The organisms would
be kept in temperatures of
about 200 F. or below, down
to absolute zero of -455 F.
The possibility is envisioned
by DR.. Joseph F. Saunders,
Def of medicine of the Of
flee of Naval Research, in a
report just published by the
Navy. Naval research al
ready is being extended in
this direction and has
achieved some practical re-
suits, especially in the in
definite preservation of whole
blood.
But, says DR.. Saunders,
looking far into the future,
one might visualize the pres
ervation of live fauna or
flora to prevent imminent
extinction of a species. Mu-
seums might become inter-
ested in this possibility. Such
an application cannot be dis
PEELED as being impossible or
fantastic for, theoretically,
life does experience a tempo
rary halt at temperatures
around or below the liquid
nitrogen range"
Ice Crystals in Blood
Perhaps eventually-a very
far-off eventuality-even a
man might be kept frozen for
a century or so and then
thawed out, still very much
alive, in another generation.
DR.. Saunders doesn't mention
this possibility in the pres
ent report.
Death or serious injury, the
report points out, doesn't re-
suit from cold, per Sc, 1t re-
suits from the formation of
ice crystals IN the blood and
other body cells. This tears
and destroys the cells. Since
a large part of the body is
water the effect is very far
reaching.
It has been found, how
ever, that crystallized ice
formations can go on only
within a certain temperature
range. The trick is to get
through this range so quickly
that the crystals do not have
time to form. The progress
at various rates of freezing,
as established largely by
naval research, is outlined as
follows:
With slow freezing a few
large ice crystals are formed
in the spaces between the
cells. Water is drawn from
inside the cells to form these
crystals. AS a result the cells
are dehydrated and squeezed
between the crystals.
With faster freezing, more
numerous but smaller ice
crystals form. At first all
these remain outside the cells

affairs, would be the determ-
lining issue before the voters
in next years gubernatorial
election. He is perfectly will
ing to run on that record.
He has a very considerable
program to present to the
legislature when it meets in
Albany the first part Of the
year. With Republican major
tiles in both houses and with
the expected support of the
legislative leaders he should
be successful.
The Democrats View
The Governor already has
called a meeting of Repub-
lican leaders for December
27 at which the program and
also campaign strategy for
the 1862 elections will be un-
der consideration. Possibly
that fact that this meeting
was called for just before
the turn of the year, plus
the fact that on almost the
same date in 1859 he had
issued a surprise announce
ment taking himself out of
the race for the Republican
presidential nomination of
1860, may have aroused sus-
picion he was planning to
make another surprise an
nouncement removing him
self from politics entirely.
The Democrats, having
just come through a grueling
battle over party leadership
and the nomination and elec-
ton of a mayor of New
York, quite naturally would
like to see Republican oppo-
sition to Gov. Rockefeller
develop, and they would not
be averse to bringing, or
helping to bring, it about.
He incurred the diSfavor of
some of the more conserva-
tive Republicans when, i'm
mediately after his election
in 1858, he demanded that
taxes be raised in order to
overcome the deficit left in
State finances by the retir-
ing Gov. Averell Hartman,
Democrat, and also to pay
for improvements in State
services. The wisdom of this
move was later demonstrated,
and the COP. has been
pretty we'll together in sup.
port of the Governor more
recently.
Further, he has been re-
garded as a leading, or the
leading, possibility for the
Republican presidential nom
ination in 1864, which would
tend to solidify the party i'm
support of his reelection. If
the divorce angle can now
be used as a divisive factor,
among the rank and file of,
the G. o. P, Democrats would
not unnaturally be pleased.
Gov. Rockefeller carried
New York over Mr.. Harri-.
man in 1858 with a lead of
more than half-a-m million
votes. If he can duplicate or
improve on this margin of
victory next year, a consid-
cradle step will have been
taken toward reducing the
effectiveness of divorce as an
issue to be raised against the
Governor two years later
when the country will elect
a President.

One-Mon Show

I note (The Star, Dec. ID
that the New York chambers
of U. N. Ambassador Adlai
Stevenson are presently deco
rated by at least four famous
paintings loaned by the Met
ropolitan Museum.
Since the paintings of a
public gallery are primarily
for the sight of all of us and
not just one favored viewer,
this seems very unfair to me.
1t does little credit to the
egalitarian basis of American

but as the freezing rate is
speeded they also form inside
the cells.
With very high freezing
rates the crystals become
more numerous and smaller
until the point is reached
where they vanish entirely.
The resulting ice is solid and
CLASSY. 1t doesn't apparently
injure the cells in which it
is formed. This point is
reached at about 200 F.
Since crystal formation
and growth are time depend
ent phenomena" says DR..
Saunders report, "the more
rapidly the temperature can
be lowered to point at which
reaction rates are negligible
the less will be the risk of
damage to the biologic system.
This consideration applies
even more to reWarming and
thawing. (TheSe must go
through the same fatal tenn
perature range.
Damage to cells resulting,
from ice crystal growth can
be prevented only by storage
at a temperature below the
recrystallization point of ice
between -184 and 200 F.
Today many investigators be-
lieve that the death of cells
from freezing results not
from the freezing process but
rather from a slow warming
and thawing during which
crystal growth can proceed
rapidly. When ice crystal.
formation is absent most cells
are not harmed by low tenn
peratures."
Blood Storage Problem
The chief present interest
of the Navy in this line of
research, says the report, is
in the low temperature pres
ervation of blood. Under a
Navy contract a division of
the Union Carbide Co. is de-
veloping a freeze-thaw meth
cd of processing human blood
for indefinite storage at tenn
peratureS around 800 F.
Blood valued at more than
$40 million for use in trans
fuSions now is wasted an
nually, DR.. Saunders says, be-
cause it is not considered safe
after being kept in storage
for less than a month.
Towards this end" says
DR.. Saunders, "the company
has already achieved a major
breakthrough in biological
engineering by developing new
blood processing equipment.
With this equipment a pint
of blood can be frozen or,
thawed in one minute or less.
A special container, shaking
at about 200 cycles a minute.
is frozen in liquid nitrogen
for about As seconds. Thaw-
ing proceeds at about lis F.
for about 35 seconds at 200
