Physicist Urey Warns About Revolutionary Doctrine

i'm the sense that poets steep
themselves in the most scien-
tific of scientific knowledge
Mr.. Curnow said of the current
emphasis to teach science to
poets, lust think even of the
precious teaching hours squan-
dered, with questionable re-
turns"
He said II think poetry does
extend knowledge although not
in the same order as physical
science. In poetry, new diScov-
cries do not supercede old ones. y
AS far as what a poet needs
to know, Mr.. Curnow said, 81
would say don't think a poet
need be embarrassed at the
immense complexities" OF
knowledge, discoveries, etc. He
may not understand which are
not in his field or realm.
This Is to lose ones nerve
for the job at hand" Quoting
Keats, he said "a poet must be
able to rest in a state of doubt
and uncertainty, without fur
ther irritable reaching out after
fact and certainty which are
beyond his grasp"
He concluded with, "a good
poet always knows exactly
enough, when he produces a
good poem"

Now at an age when most
men have been retired three
years, DR.. Urey is enthusiast

researching the chemical aStro-
nomical problem.
His lectures urging active
study and development of a
world government are what I
do as my job as a citizen"
DR.. Urey's slow-paced SEN
fences were followed by the
English accent of New zea-
land Poet Allen Curnow, who
managed to tie in two diverse
subjects with after DR.. Urey's
brilliant speech, all I can say
is we're going to win any war
or historical struggle, this is
the kind of thing we're sup
posed to win it for"
Mr.. Curnow then asked two
questions, How much knowl-
edge does a poet need-in the
broad sense of the mass of
information which none Of us
can really assemble-and, is
poetry itself a part Of knowl-
edge?"

DR.. Harold C. Urey, the phys
icist who made the discovery
which won the Nobel Prize and
led to the development Of the
atomic bomb, is hard at work
seeing that no one uses 1t.
Last night for the second
lecture Of the Institute Of Con-
temporary Arts congress series,
DR.. Urey said I'VE are faced
with a very serious cold war.
There is a very virile revolu-
tionary doctrine in the world.
IF the uncommitted coun-
tries joined us the USSR would
someday realize If they can't
win the cold war they won't
start the hot war - or vice
versa"
DR.. Urey added that he felt
there is no hope for the future
unless this estimate is correct"
then launched into his war;
saving world government plan,
which could help us win the
cold war.

Indicating this is already so,
DR.. Urey said, But I call at
tention to trips made by Dulles,

Gaulle. This all means our
ability to make decisions is
not possible purely on the basis
Of our own capacity any more.

power, which comes from an

tax bill which would, in effect,
cripple the Motor Vehicle Park
ing Agency.
The House voted to shift
about SO million of agency
funds to a District highway
fund and to bar land acquisi-
lions for parking by the agency.
Opposition to the proposals
was registered at a Senate Dis
trict Subcommittee hearing on
the bill.
Edward Baltz, agency chair
man, maintained the money
should be left in its present
fund, from which the Commits
sioners could draw for either
parking facilities or highway
repair. This was at variance
with the Commissioners posi-
ton at earlier hearings. The
Commissioners went along with
the fund shift but opposed the

Spreads
Good News
By GEORGE KENNEDY

By GEORGE KENNEDY
Here's good news!
Department of Agriculture
Research, which gave us
Rash'n wear and drip'n dry,
Is developing wooden fabrics
that hold their crease.
They also are working on a
fabric that will resist coffee
and gravy stains. There is
something that could bring
The vest back.
In time they may be able
to apply it to cotton shirt
ngS.
The Rambler learned all
this yesterday morning.
Ernie Moore, head of in
formation for Agriculture
Research, had telephoned
him.
Il wish you would stop by
Tuesday morning." he said,
'and catch Frank Teuton's
act.
Hes a great pitch man.
He could have been a great
barker on the midwayS. He
knows how to WOW them and
pack 'em in.
Hes at the top of his
form. But this may be his
last big show.
Because he will be 70 he
will have to retire in July.
And the department will lose
the best salesman it ever
had.
II wish someone would call
this to the attention of Sec
rotary Freeman and the Civil
Service Commission so that
something can be done to
prevent this loss to our Gov
eminent. 1t calls for an ex-
ecutive order from the Presi-
dent or something"
That was how the Rambler
happened to be in an audi
ence of Alters in the de-
partment auditorium. These
young persons from the
farms of our so States are
handsome youths and comely
maids.

MANY OF THE POTTED
PLANTS and flowers were to
illustrate what can be done
with giberellic acid (devel-
oped by Department of Agri-
culture Research. The con-
trolls, which had not been
sprayed with the acid, looked
like stunted growth. Those
treated with it were twice as
tall.
This is the substance that
causes tallneSs," Mr.. Teuton
said. II wonder what would
happen If we sprayed it on
a little boy whose height
wasn't keeping up with his
age"
It can be had at the gar
den shops under various
trade names. Must try some
on my weeping willow tree.
But it did seem that the
department had little to do
with his final success story.

Hospital undergoing treatment,
Last night she underwent
surgery to wire her broken jaw
and to place a tube in her
windpipe to make breathing
easier.
Her physician, DR.. Ray Brown
said she almost certainly has
a skull fracture, because a
brain injury has caused par
tial paralysis Of her right side
Robbery Seen Motive
At this time police are clas-
styling the crime primarily as
HOUSEKEEPING and robbery,
Inspector Aubrey M. Tolson
said.
From papers found in the
heavily ransacked apartment it
was learned Miss Lockwood
had owned q wrist watch and
diamond ring not found among
her effects. Police were seek
ing to determine through rela-
tives whether she still had the
jewelry at the time of the
attack.
Miss Lockwood was clad In
a terrycloth bath robe, which
was in disarray, but DR.. Brown
said there was no evidence she
had been sexually assaulted.
Police said the victims hips
and legs were bruised.
Went Home Thursday
Miss Lockwood's mother, Mrs
Lillian j. Lockwood, and sister
Mrs. Evelyn L. Edmunds, both
of 1909 Kathryn road, Silver
Spring, last talked to her on
Thursday, the day she returned
from the hospital.
Miss Lockwood until about
two years ago was married to
Edward P. Mccoy, a Navy De-
partment employee, of 107s

Meters No Problem,
Murray Testifies

Police Chief Robert v. Muir
ray today told Senate subcom-
mitteemen that he felt police
could enforce parking meter
regulations without interfering
with more serious duty.
A proviso putting uniformed
policemen back to the duty
and eliminating meter aides
was attached by the House to a
recently passed sales tax bill.

Vase Believed WEAPON
Used to Beat Woman

A broken pottery vase found
in her Boston House apartment
may be the weapon with which
Miss Frances j. Lockwood was
beaten almost to death and left
struggling in her bonds for two
days, police said today.
Partly paralyzed, her Jaw
broken and suffering from other
injuries, Miss Lockwood re-
gained consciousness this morn
ing but remained in critical
condition at Washington Hos
pital Center.
Efforts to communicate with
her were futile. Detectives said
her eyes moved. and she once
slightly moved her right hand.
But she gave no indication
as to whether she heard or I'M
derstood their questions about
her attacker, and she made no
effort to speak through her
wired-up Jaws.
Loses Consciousness
Miss Lockwood remained con-
scious for an hour and a quar-
ter before dropping off again.
Detectives still remained near
by, hoping to resume the queS-
tioning efforts later.
If she lives-and her physi-
clan said she now has a chance
the fact that yesterday was
her 41st birthday will be a large
contributing factor.
1t was because her mother
and sister tried to reach her by
phone to congratulate her, that
Miss Lockwood's plight was dis
covered at 1890 pm.
Mrs. Fern Lust, a switchboard
operator, checked Miss Lock-
woods apartment and found
her lying face down on the
dressing room floor, her hands
bound behind her, and her feet
also tied.
Police have decided the at
tack occurred either Saturday
night or Sunday morning, be-
cause a Sunday morning news
paper still was outside the
apartment door. Entry was
made to the first-floor apart
ment through a window over a
section Of the buildings under
ground garage.
Screen Taken Out
The window overlooks an
alley of the apartment building
at I'LL Massachusetts avenue
NV. The window screen had
been removed and was leaning
against a wall Of the apartment.
Capt. Lawrence A. Hartnett
of the homicide squad said the
heavy, broken vase found in the
apartment might have been
used in the beating.
Miss Lockwood retired last
February from her administra-
tive assistants job with the
International Cooperation Ad-
ministration because Of a kidney
ailment. Only last week she had
spent four days in Georgetown

Youth Court
Davis Plan
Advances

A House District subcommittee
today tentatively approved q
draft bill that makes sweeping
changes in juvenile court, but
withheld formal action.
The chairman Of the subcom-
mittee, Representative Davis
Democrat Of Georgia, said his
unit has completed it's study OF
major provisions outlined in
the bills draft.
But he emphasized that ap-
proval is still only tentative
and added that another meet
ing of the subcommittee is
necessary-apparently to iron
out technicalitieS.
The Davis group met for
two and one half hours today
in executive session. Previously
approved by the subcommittee
are sections Of the draft which
would place the now-autono-
nous Juvenile Court under the
jurisdiction Of Municipal Court,
add one more Judge to Munich
pal Court, and lower the age
limit Of juvenile cases from 10
to Is. AS yet, the bill has not
been introduced.
| Mr.. Davis said today that
under one section Of the bill,
paternity and non support
cases would remain within the
Jurisdiction Of the youth court.
Previously, the draft was re-
ported to remove this function
from Juvenile Court and turn
it over to the adult court. One
source indicated today, how
ever, that these types Of cases
still could be handled in Mu-
nicipal Court If the Juvenile
Court case load became too
heavy.
Mr.. Davis said the draft in
creases the authority of the
Corporation Counsels office ir
juvenile cases, but he did moi
elaborate.
A draft Of the bill has never
been made public.
The next meeting Of the sub
committee has not been SEIZED.

Architects
Told Plans
Are Awful
BY ROBERT ]. LEWIS

PHILADELPHIA, April 90
Lewis Mumford, the eloquent
bad boy" of American archi-
lecture. today gave his view of
the Nations 10-year-old urban
renewal program: It's awful.
Our present dehumanized

duce only darkness and bore

Mr.. Mumford addressed a
session of the American InSti-
tute of Architects convention
here on the same program with
Bruno Zevi, well-known Italian
professor of architectural his
tory. Mr.. Zevi described him
self as one Of Mr.. Mumford's
European disciples" and
added:
In many American cities,
urban renewal, so far as can
see, means demolishing, with
bulldoZer technique, an urban
section in order to rebuild 1t
according to contemporary
criteria.
Suggests Corps Needed
Cities are going from bad to
worse in Europe. too. he said.
He appealed for American
ideas and methods" to help
save them.
Perhaps another Peace Corps
is needed, made up Of architects
and city designers" Mr.. levi
suggested.
The big trouble with efforts
to improve cities so far is that
planners are not sufficiently
human" in their thinking, Mr..
Mumford said.

ganized into parts that respect
the human being and that in
Vite a warm, human response"
he said.
1.-The great boulevards of
Paris needed the sidewalk cafe
to translate the large scale
order of movement into the
intimate order of repose. con-
versation, human stimulation.
Cities disappearing"
THE off-Broadway theaters
and the espresso bars have
done more for the culture of
the city in New York than acres
Of pretentious aestheticism."
Mr.. Mumford said cities are
more in the news today than
at any time since the Chicago
Worlds Fair launched the
"City Beautiful" movement in
1898.
1.-THE reason is plain" he
said. The city has been disap-
pearing before our very eyes,
sinking under a tidal wave OF
motor cars and parking lots.
The best hope. he said, lies
in removing "all the sterile
bureaucratic images"

Firm Plans Storage
Of Gas in Fairfax
Underground
BeIvoir Area
Site Chosen

The Washington Gas Light
Co. told the Fairfax Board Of
County Supervisors today it was
considering plans to store 6
million gallons of liquid propane
gas in a cavern dug out of
solid rock $50 feet underground.
Officials of the company con-
ferred with, supervisors and
asked if special coming would be
required for the SO million
project in the RavensWorth
area of the county.
Exploration is now in prog
ress, company spokesman said,
to determine feasibility of stor-
age under a tract of wooded
land off Rolling road near the
Fort Belvoir reservoir.
The proposal calls for more
than an acre of caverns which
would crisscroSs one another
through the solid rock strata.
Keeps Maryland Plan
Company officials empha-
sized that storage of the liquid
propane is not planned as
substitute for the underground
storage of natural gas which
the company has sought near
Brandywine, Md.
The move, the company said
in a statement, sis another
step in the company's plan for
providing needed additional
storage Of standby gas reserves
to supplement its regular sup
ply of natural gas on cold win
ter days"
Almost all of the trees on
the proposed tract would be
left standing, the statement
said. The only structures
above the ground would be
suitably Handicapped housing
for equipment and personnel"
the statement added.
Park Site Offered
Supervisor James Keith said
company officials had indicat-
ed they would give or lease
part of the land to the county
as a park.
Chairman Anne Wilkins well
coined the proposal as a source
Of tax revenue and because it
would provide additional park
land.
The gas company presently
has tank-type propane storage
facilities in Rockville and
standby gas production facili-
ties at its East Station plant
at Eleventh and N streets Sc.
The liquid propane would be
delivered to the underground
storage site by rail, the COM
pany'S statement said, and no
Objectionable noise or odorS
would be produced.
Numerous similar projects
throughout the United States
have proved the feasibility of
storing propane in man-made
rock cavernS, proponents assert.
Supervisors said they did not
know whether permits would
be required for construction of
the storage facilities. They
pointed out, however, that the
land is already zoned for indus
trial use.
