NOT TOO EARLY

Principal Randall Burie-

bring their children to
school before $40 in the

the teachers do not go on
duty until $40 and that any
children who are on the
school grounds prior to that
time are totally without
supervision and the building

that we cannot supervise

Caroline and History

According to latest reports (Which
seem somewhat Incredibly, 3-year-old
Caroline Kennedy is not going to have
the pleasure Of seeing her father
inaugurated as President Of the United
States Of America. -.
This matter, of course, is really
none of our business. Nevertheless we
feel constrained to observe that more
than a few ladies have appealed to us
to appeal to somebody else to make
sure that little Caroline gets in on the
inaugural show. And why shouldn't
she? With or without posturing in her
mothers high-heeled shoes, Caroline
unquestionably is well equipped to take
part in the event in way that should
enchant everybody. ..-..-

How's Cozon Doinq, FideI?

The plight Of radio listeners in Cuba
brings to mind the public service of the
late Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia in read
ing comic strip continuities over the air
at time when New York City news
papers were on strike. In Cuba, the
problem is that the popular radio serials
have been replaced on Fidel CaStros
Great Network Of Liberty" by repeated
exhortations to rally in defense of the
fatherland
Presumably, there is no objection to
mounting defense of the fatherland,
If needed, but it Is understandable If
some Cubans are fretting meanwhile
about the fate of friends who were last
reported in dire danger. The Associated
Press reports, for example, that "Cazan
the Hunter" when last heard from was
trapped in canyon by landslide and
was being eyed hungrily by five lions.
We suspect that Cazan was equal to
this crisis, but it is an occasion when the
old comforting words that mo news Is
good news" hardly serve to allay all
anxiety. We have always wondered, Incl
dentally, how Fidel manages to hold his
audiences in some Of those interminable
middle -of-the- might harangues. His
rating might improve If he took few
minutes to tell how Cazan is doing. The
lions probably are Yankees anyway, so
Castro should be happy to have his
hunter do them in.

Same Old CopitoI
OF the thousands "

Or the thousands who assemble to
watch John F. Kennedy's Inauguration
Friday, good many will be seeing the
newly-completed East front of the
Capitol for the first time. And most of
them, we dare say, will approve Of what
they see.
Indeed, we doubt that anyone who
was fortunate enough to be insulated
from the long and raucous controversy
which preceded the extension of the
East front (and the awful mess in the
Capitol Plaza during construction) will
be Immediately aware that a change
has taken place. Certainly the old
charges Of vandalism" and "desecra-
ton" have a hollow sound today.
Assuredly, however, there are changes.
In place Of the crumbling sandstone,
the pockmarked columns and walls, the
Clipped balustradeS, the ornamental
tlon hidden under countless coats of
paint, the East front today is crisply
perfect-reproduced in enduring marble
as faithfully as Sam Rayburn promised
1t would be.
Nor, it seems to us, is there cause
OF even a slight change in the overall
setting in which so many Of our PreSi-
dents have taken ofice. The first was
Andrew Jackson in 1929, and 20 of the
80 inaugural oaths since then have been
administered on wooden platforms
uniformly ugly, unfortunately in front
Of the East portico. But the East front
of Jackson's day was far cry from the
Capitol as any living man today knows
1t. Even the most beloved feature Of the
Capitol, its huge and cleaning dome,
was not added until the days of the
Civil War.
The extension is a desirable and
necessary modern-day change, Just as
the addition of the dome and House
and Senate wings was a century ago.
And the important thing Is that the
Capitol has not been destroyed in the
process, but preserved, in order that
Americans might take pride in it for
generations to come.

Moscow and the Como

ny a VOCe OI 10 Y, WIFI aDSCen-
tions, the 11-member United Nations
Security Council has disposed of the
Kremlin'S phony emergency" effort to
ouSt Belgium as administrator of the
African trust territory of Ruanda-
Urundi, which borders upon the Congo.
However, as the Soviet delegate has
indicated, that effort will be under
taken again just as soon as the General
Assembly reconvenes in March; nor is
this surprising.
After all, Nikita Khrushchev and
Company have long since demonstrated
that they are much too thick-skinned
to be embarrassed by facts or to let
truth interfere with or contravene the
purposes of their shockingly mendacious
propaganda, which in this instance has
been designed primarily to libel the
Belgians. And why the libel? Well, if
a sufficient number of United Nations
members could be hoodwinked by it,
then Belgium could be voted out of
anda-Urundi, and the territory could
then be used to good advantage to pro-
mote the cause Of prof. Communist
Patrice Lumumba, the slippery deposed
Premier whose Imprisonment in the
neighboring Congolese Republic con-
tinues to be thing of in and out or
touch and go. AS this is written, he still
is in Jail, but it would be foolhardy to
bet against the possibility, if not the
probability, that Just after today's
night final edition he will be loose in
the streets again, and visiting Leopold
ville'S bars, with dash and vigor well
calculated to promote the Communist
cause in the anarchic Congo.
Nevertheless the fact remains that
the Security Council, by giving short
Shrift to the Kremlin's extreme charges,
and by refusing to support the relatively
mild censure Of Belgium implied in the
resolution sponsored by Ceylon, Liberia
and the United Arab Republic, has
demonstrated degree Of maturity and
good judgment that augurs well for
the U. MS efforts in the Congo Possibly
this is toe-optimistic view, but at least
we must hope that there is enough
perspicacity among all countries con-
cerned to blunt and thwart the Soviet
drive to dominate the globe, including
Ruanda- -Urundi.

has been developed by the
Army Chemical Corps.
It will detect contaminants
coloYless and completely in
visible to the naked eye.
This so-called ''lopair" is
intended primarily for use Of
troops in the field. but a wide
range Of civilian uses has
been outlined. It can be
used in all sorts of air pol,
luton studies and for con-
troll of stack gases from
factories.
"The system" according to
the Chemical Corps descrip-
ton. can detect and measure
almost any substance by its
characteristic infrared spec
trum. Once the alarm has
been properly set to detect
one specific substance nor
mally it will not be set off by
other materials likely to be
present. A special design
feature also prevents the
alarm system being set off
when a person, animal or
vehicle breaks into the infra-
red beam.
In Two Units
The current model consists
Of two separate parts. One
unit. the detector head, is
mounted on a tripod and con-
tains the infrared light
source. a mirror that directs
the beam along a path, and a
detector to analyze the beam
when it returns by reflection.
The other unit is mounted on
a special self-aligning mirror
which Is placed at the other
end OF the path and returns
the beam to the detector.
The detector weighs about 40
pounds and the mirror unit
about IS pounds.
The Chemical Corps also
has developed a special device
for detection Of chlorine gas
and sounding a warning
alarm. There have been
various commercial instru-
ments for this purpose but
they have been too expensive,
inSufflciently sensitive, have
reacted to other materials as
well as chlorine, or have been
difficult to maintain.
The new device is capable
Of detecting a fraction Of q
part per million Of chlorine
in the atmosphere.

SoIutes Eisenhower

Amid all Of the inaugural
hoop-la, there is a somewhat
forgotten man. His name Is
Dwight David Eisenhower.
He, in the last eight years
has kept the competitive
spirit alive among Americans
and between the United
States and the Soviet Union.
He has saved us from the
tolls of all-out war.
He led an allied victory in
Europe in World War II. He
took us out Of Korea.
He has carried his pride
in the American people to
the nations of the world.
When he is ushered out Of
the White House, let us not
forget him.
All Americans, I'm sure,
will join with me in saying
thanks to a truly great man.

Puts Brakes on Critic

In the January 8 edition
Of The Star. e. v. Hailman
quotes District Of Columbia
Highway Department planner
Douglas s. Brinkley as say
ing. "You can build all the
transit facilities you want to.
Educating people to use them
Is another matter" Mr.. Hail
man adds, "Shall our cities
submit to final and complete
strangulation by auto traffic
congestion fed by a vast and
growing maze Of ever-widen-
ing concrete highways, etc?"
BY this question Mr.. Hail
man indicates that Mr.. Brink
ley opposes any suggestion
that rapid rail transit be in
cluded in plans to solve our
transportation problems. Mr..
Hailman would lead you to
believe that Mr.. Brinkley and
other highway officials fear
the loss OF their jobs as a
result Of the building Of rail
transit.
The AAA has discussed this
matter with Mr.. Brinklev
He points out that Mr.. Hail
man quoted only one state
ment he made before the
Citizens Advisory Council at
which time he also COM
mented favorably on the Ma
tional Capital Transportation
Plan which includes sugges-
tions for rail transit as we'll
as for express buses operat-
ing on freeways.
The AAA does not know Of
any highway official who
fears for his job because Of
rail transit competition. For
the most part, we owe a debt
Of gratitude to our highway
departments. Their engineers
are looking ahead 20 and 80
years, when our population
will have grown by more
than a million, whereas the
average citizen looks only at
conditions as they exist to-
day. To handle our trans
portation needs 20 years from
now, we must consider plans
for both rapid transit and
modern limited access high
ways. For one thing, free
ways will be needed to &C
commodate express buses.
They will also be needed to
accommodate the increasing
automobile traffic, even dur
ing periods other than rush
hours.
Certainly Mr.. Hailman
doesn't want highway plan
ming and construction to stop.
He need not go this far to
sell the idea of rail transit.
Both are needed to avoid
the very strangulation Mr..
Hailman worries about.
It's time to stop this tram
sit VS.. highway argument,
since the experts who have
studied the problem agree
that the solution includes
plans for both.

Fore! No More?'

Congratulations on your
editorial Of several days ago
entitled Fore! No More?"
Your friends are very correct
in their feeling that golf is
a great medium Of relaxation,
and I was certainly happy to
see your encouragement of
Mr.. Kennedy's participation
in this sport while he Is
President.
Sharing your feeling
strongly and in the hope that
one more voice would lend
weight to your opinion on this
subject, I took the liberty
of sending our President
elect the following message:
Dear Mr.. Kennedy:
Il have heard a very dis
turbing rumor to the effect
that after that wonderful
day for which so many Of us
have hoped. prayed and
worked, you will put your
golf clubs in the corner of
some dark closet at 1900
Pennsylvania Avenue and
hang up your golf cap. AS q
true admirer Of yours with
high hopes for the great
things you will do for our
country. I would like to add
my voice to the many I am
sure you have already heard
please don't let that golf
bag get dusty!
Golf Is not really q rob-
Der Of your time or a traitor
to your aims - it's your
very good friend, providing
the best medicine that any
doctor could recommend. You
are young, Mr.. Kennedy, let
golf help to keep you that
way in the years ahead which
will be brimful Of tensions
and decisions, and demands
on your time and nerves.
"It is my earnest hope that
for your country's good you
will give the game Of golf
its rightful place in your
plans for the busy days
ahead"

Chides Rambler

The Rambler, in his recent
column Goes up the Hill"
visits the CapitoD writes
". almost an acre Of the
plaza has a floor Of new wide
boards Of Western fir. The
place is redolent with the
pleasing smell Of drying
pitch"
The Rambler appears to
appreciate the transplanted
fragrance of the forest. But
in his previous days column.
he admits to passing up one
Of the most opportune times
Of the year when he could
bring the fragrance and
freshness Of the forest right
into his home and enjoy this
over the holiday season.
The r q m bier used an
aluminium tree. Ugh! He
didn't even have q Christmas
tree. He had q chunk Of
metal He further admits
". one week Is enough"
Of the substitute for a real
Christmas tree. May 1t re-
pose in his storage closet
where he has placed it,
for many Christmases to
come"-yeah, even through
eternity.
AS for the needle drop Of q
real, natural Christmas tree,
this can be lessened, possibly
eliminated. Select a fresh
shapely tree as soon as they
appear on the markets, prob
ably early December. Test
it for freshness to see If it
feels fresh or moist to the
touch by running ones fin
gers through the foliage, and
note any needle drop. Fur
ther, If the tree is given a
shake or jar. and 1t hangs on
to its needles. it is okay.
With the tree at home, make
a fresh one-inch slanting
butt cut, and store the tree
in a cool, shady place stand
ing 1t in water. Add water
daily and sprinkle water on
the branches.
On bringing the tree into
the home for the Christmas
holidays, rIake another inch
butt cut and again keep the
tree standing in water. An
average size tree will drink
up a quart or more Of water
per day for the first few days
and figure on a couple gall
Ions for a ten-day period.
Then all through the holi-
day season the Rambler can
sit back and enjoy the frag-
rance and freshness of the
forest - right in his home.
And when the tree has served
him so well. he can place the
tree in his yard as a bird
feeding station-with suet re-
placing the Christmas dec
orations. dare him to stick
that metal contraption out in
the yard. It's not for the
birds. A. M. SOwder,

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Machine Counts and Sorts Germs
BY THOMAS K. HENRY

The aerosoloscope, an elec-
tronic instrument that meas
ures and counts invisibly
minute germs. dust and
moisture particles in the air
has been developed by the
Army Chemical Corps.
It is based on the known
phenomenon that dust parti-
ticles, or specks Of any sort.
observed in a shaft of light
are. in fact. only reflections
Of the particles themselves.
AS airborne particles in con-
centrations up to $4,000 per
milliliter-about two cubic
inches pass through the
instrument they are diluted
and their flow rate is con-
trolled in such a way that
each one is individually illu-
minated. The reflect o n
caused by the illumination Is
detected by a photo-multiplier
tube. Since large particles
reflect more light than small
ones. this tube in conjunction
with other electronic appara-
tus is able to determine the
size Of each particle. Elec-
trical impulses are transmit
ted to a set of IL dials rep
resenting IL different ranges
Of particle size.
Counts Particles
Each dial indicates the total
number of particles of that
size in the sample. The de-
vice now measures particles
from one to "a microns in
diameter. A micron is about
a 25,000th of an inch. ut can
be modified. however, to de-
tect even smaller particles.
In much the same line an
other device has been de-
veloped by the Chemical
Corps-the so-called Ander-
son sampler. after its in
ventor-which collects and
Identifies germs in the air
and automatically separates
them into sizes, completely
covering the microscopic
range. The instrument is
extremely sensitive and is
expected to be useful for
detection Of disease-produc-
ing particles in the air Of
hospitals. schools and other
public places.
It is known that the ca
panty VI q PdCllOSCIllC
cloud"-any air mass con-
tanning germs-to produce
infection in exposed expert
mental animals depends on
the number and size of the
particles. Previous instru-
ments have determined num-
bers quite accurately, but not
size.

Stamp Color Presses

We note with interest your
recent editorial Of approval,
regarding the work Of the
Citizens Stamp Advisory
Committee. but feel perhaps
a note on the interesting
technical story behind the re-
cent issuance of "colorful
new stamps" might well be
expressed, since it is q de-
cided advance, affecting the
entire intaglio plate printing
industry.
That engraved postage
stamps can be accurately
printed In two, three or even
more colors. Is possible by the
invention of a process which
has recently been put into
general use. throughout the
world. and it would require q
feature article to adequately
describe its clever principle.
Suffice 1t to say, it has made
color possible in the. produc-
ton Of hand engraved post
age stamps in a manner that
remarkably preserves the
counterfeit-proof features Of
intaglio plate printing. The
usual forms of photo-me-
chanical color reproduction,
such as letterpress, litho-
graphic and gravure, are
generally known to lack this
important factor and there
fore have been avoided by
the Government for such
purposes.
The Bureau Of Engraving
and Printing is now produc-
ing postage stamps from a set
60 of these presses with ap-
parent success. as we may
judge from your editorial,
and as members of a group
privileged to contribute their
skills to the finished product,
we merely wish to emphaze
the fact that the new color
presses. 50 recently made
available to us, fulfill q long
standing need.

WATCHING THE WORLD
By CROSBY S. MOVES
Foreign Correspondent Of The Star
Busy Diplomatic Season for Europe
Foreign Correspondent Of The ssor

that what really interests the
Soviet leader is an early
meeting with Mr.. Kennedy.
The possibility Of an eventual
new summit meeting depends
very largely on the relations
that he succeeds in establish
ing with the new American
regime.
And yet, 50 far at least,
Mr.. Khrushchev seems to
have made little progress In
his efforts to "get through"
to the President-elect. From
the statements made by Mr..
Kennedy himself and by
his nominee for Secretary
Of State, Dean Rusk, Mr..
Khrushchev may be coming
to the conclusion that even
after the Inauguration, the
new team will not be as re-
sponsive to a call to the sum-
NIT as its predecessor. He
might decide, in short, that
a new approach is necessary
and that the services Of an
honest broker would come In
handy.
Macmillan's Job
There can be little question
as to the logical candidate for
this job. Gen. de Gaulle with
his hands full in Algeria, is,
in any case, in a violently
anti-Russian phase. DR.. Ade-
nauer, although enjoying q
respite in his own private cold
war with the Kremlin, is
hardly anxious to provoke
any new discussions on Berlin
and the German problem" as
a whole at this stage.
Even the logical candidate
Is perhaps less eager than he
has been in the past. Mr..
Macmillan has been more
guarded in his summit en-
thusiasm since the Paris ex-
perience. The official British
line is now that in any case
a top-level meeting would
have to be carefully prepared
at diplomatic levels to have
reasonable hope Of success.
At the same time there is
no doubt that political pres
sure in Britain is greater and
Mr.. Macmillan's personal
conservation to the theory Of
summitry stronger than the
average. The last time, Mr..
Khrushchev found it profit
able to approach Washington
by way Of London. II he is
frustrated in his direct ap-
proach to Mr.. Kennedy, the
suggestion Of q return cour-
tesy call on the British Prime
Minister sometime this spring
might be a logical alternative
means Of getting the summit
ball rolling.
There is some danger, in
fact, that Mr.. Kennedy, il
he waits too long before get
ting into the international
swim, may find himself buck
ing a strong current when he
does. AS President Eisen-
hover discovered, once the
tide sets In in favor of a
summit 1t is very hard to stop
1t, whatever reservations
there may be as to the wis
dom Of going along. For his
part, Mr.. Khrushchev can be
counted on to apply pressure
at any point that promises to
yield results.
