With all the analysis, scru-
tiny and expertise being trained
on the State Department shake
up. it Just hasn't occurred to
anyone that the President may
have sent four of his own men
over to the departments head
quarters simply so he can have
someone to talk to there.
The President and Secre-
tary of State RuSk still have,
by all accounts, a certain diff
ficulty in communicating with
each other. They never knew
each other before Mr.. Kennedy's
cabinet talent scouts came up
with Mr.. Rusk as the composite
of all they sought in a Secre-
tary of State.
Their differences are plain:
Mr.. Kennedy is from the North,
Mr.. Rusk, from the South; Mr..
Rusk is sternly self-effacing;
Mr.. Kennedy is not. The Sec
retary of State is a baseball
fan: the President is a touch
football man.
Fact Collectors
But it is not really their diff
ferences that divide them, ap-
parently. 1t is their similarity
in one important area. Mr.. Ken
nedy and Mr.. Rusk, as any,
one can see from reading their
respective press conferences,
are both information bluffs.
Mr.. Rusk's transcripts are
studied with facts and figures.
So are the Presidents. Mr.. RuSk
can reel off the names of all
the African republics. So can
the President. Mr.. RuSk can tell
you exactly how many inter-
international conferences are
being held in the world at any
given moment and where, and
who is there for us. So can
his chief.
Information bluffs in differ
ent fields can often communi-
cate with each other, trading
facts, figures, names and dates.
But when one is President and
the other his Secretary of State
and the amassing of data is
secondary to the evaluation of
what it all means, the minutes
can go by unrewardingly.
Datum and Data
In fact, a transcript of con-
ference between the two infor-
mation-lovers might go some
thing like this:
Good morning, Mr.. Presi-
dent"
Good to see you, Mr.. Secre-
tary. What's up?"
We'll, sir there seems to be
bad news from the Congo this
morning. We received a cable
in the department, reporting
that $3.50 Congolese troops are
advancing
Two thousand, six hundred
and fifty? The Times says
2,700."
Yes, Mr.. President, I noticed
that, and I looked into the sit
uation, and it seems that their
last edition goes to press at
1:16 am, whereas our cable
was stamped 3:20 am"
"Oh. yes, I see. But the

Doctors with a sense of moral
responsibility will generally
stop when they see an accident,
although an increasing trend
is to keep on going for fear of
| litigation.
/ And if he's a pSychiatrist, it's
probably best to keep on going
anyway.
These were among the view
points given physicians attend
ing the closing session of the
District Medical Society's 29th
annual scientific assembly yes
terday at the Statler Hilton
Hotel.
A panel of seven physicians
and lawyers told part Of the
more than 1000 registered at
the assembly that the doctor
faces legal problems not only
in his office and at the hospital
but even on the road should
he stop TO offer help to an in
jured motorist.
Many tend to look the other
way, especially if it's a bad
accident, DR.. William T. Fits,
| jr., professor of surgery at the
University of Pennsylvania
Medical School, said. In Cali
| fornia, however, recent legis-
lation does give the stopping
doctor immunity from suit in
such emergency cases, he said.
No Must-StOp Law
There is no law compelling
the physician to stop" said
a Washington attorney. H. Ma
son Welch. But we all know
that morally the doctor feels
he has special training and
that he may help alleviate pain
or even save a life"
But, he warned, there are
indications in recent court de-
IcisionS that the law is moving
toward holding the doctor re-
sponsible more than he feels
should be the case.
What about the psychiatrist
who passes the scene of an ac-
cident without stopping? Ar
thur j. Hilland, another local
attorney. was asked. He will
be held responsible only to the
extent of his medical skill, "
was the reply.

Decency Asked

With malpractice suits against
physicians increasing, Capt. Jo-
seph R. Connolly, chief of plas-
tic surgery at the Naval Medi-
cal Center in Bethesda, called
for a little more common de-
.cency toward the doctor who
does stop to give emergency
treatment.
You do all in your power
at the scene" he said, "and
then the ambulance takes the
patient to the hospital. What
about the ambulance driver
who compounds a fracture by
unloading the patient improp-
erly? Why should that be the
responsibility of the doctor
who stopped at the scene?"
Should the doctor who stops
to render emergency care ac-
company the patient to the
hospital? The law, as pointed
out by the panel, seemed a
little vague in spots but there
was general agreement that
emergency care goes as far as
accepted practices in given
area.
Unsympathetic Jury
The physician, however, was
warned to be careful because
no jury will forgive him for the
abandonment of a patient. 1t
was, however, pointed out that
physicians do not normally ride
ambulanceS in the District
which might give the doctor
offering emergency treatment
an out here if the patient is
taken to a well-Staffed institu-
ton. But, again, it involves in
dividual medical judgment.
And Mr.. Hilland pointed out,
you don't have to be a Good
Samaritan if you don't want to
and the police have no power
to force you"
Despite the legal problems,
the panel agreed that mist
physicians would stop at the
scene of an accident to save
lives despite the legal risk.

Red Rebuff

Ngo Dinh Diem, pro-Western presi-
dent of South Wet Nam, has been over
whelmingly reelected despite efforts by
Communist guerrillaS to frighten the
voters away from the polls.
Of course, Ngo Dinh Diem was ex-
pected to win, since his two opponents
were of small political stature. But it
Is surprising that about 10 per cent of
the eligible voters cast ballots, and that
the incumbent president was named on
better than 80 per cent of these. Signifi-
cantly, perhaps, he polled around 80
per cent of the vote in the areas most
harassed by the Red guerrillas.
The apparent meaning of this is
that the people of South Wet Nam, if
permitted to choose, will not embrace
the blessings of communism. And this,
in turn, may be an explanation of what
is happening in neighboring Laos-may
be the reason why ceaSe-fire activity is
stalled in Moscow and why the pace of
the Soviet airlift of arms to the Laotian
Communists has been markedly stepped
up in recent days. 1t may very well be
that the Kremlin, reading the political
sentiment in South Wet Nam, has no
intention of permitting the people of

Locking the Barn Door .

Inc decision OF school officials to
provide for school burglar alarm"
system in the 1962-63 budget was over
due, to say the least. Against the
deplorable background of the $4OO 00O-
plus arson and vandalism rampage at
the George Washington Carver School
and the $500 0000-plus cost of other
vandalism during the past five years,
the belated move Smacks of locking the
barn door after the horse has been
stolen
1t is true that District school
authorities have had difficulty in get
ting sufficient appropriations for many
urgent needs. They would be in a
stronger position, however, to ask Con-
greSS now for an alarm system if they
had pressed for such an anti-vandal-
ism setup in the past. 1t is said COM
plete system connecting each school
with the nearest police precinct station
would cost a total of $122,000 This
is not too big a premium to pay for
relatively effective insurance against the
losses inflicted on the schools by
window-smashing, furniture destroying
and sometimes fire-Setting hoodlumS,
mostly Of school age.
It has been truly amazing how these
miSnamed "pranksters" have been able
in many cases to commit their depreda-
tionS unnottced and apparently without
fear of being caught or punished. Last
year the Districts tab for replacing
window and door panes smashed by
vandalS amounted to more than $4,000
Other property damage brought the
repair bill substantially higher. In
numerous instances it was not merely
"a matter of replacing one window pane
but literally scores of them in one
building. The culprits at the Carver
School apparently proceeded methodi-
cally to ranSack the school, room by
room, before setting fire to the princi-
pals office. There were no guards at
the school-nor are there any at most
other schools. Officials explained that
funds for guards have been lacking.
Recently, it was disclosed, tests have
been made with an alarm system at
one school with view to determin-
ing whether general intruder-alarm
hookup would be effective. The results
OF the tests were so satisfactory that a
request will be made for $4,000 to in
stall limited system during the fiscal
1928 year. But why wait until then?
Why not use the Carver case as justifi-
cation for an emergency request for sup
Elemental funds for the current fiscal
year? This is propitious time, If there
ever was one, for making the request.

Immiqrotion Policy

I enjoyed the letter in the
edition Of March 81 regard
ing immigration, by Robt. c.
Alexander. 1t was a service to
your readers, because it
brought from behind the
cloud of propaganda by the
sociological groups a real pic
ture, one not tainted with
bias and an ulterior motive.
1t was factual and was not
trying to "sell a bill of goods"
Timely, too. to parallel it
with the other facts facing
us today. Population eX-
plosion"-"birth control" and
the lack of it for various
reasons, and "un-employ-
ment." Now, why should we
jeopardize our n national l
economy with an assist to
those problems which are
real, the ones mentioned
above? In the olden days we
had persons migrate to this
country to enjoy the real
privileges offered by our re-
publican form of government,
to aSSimilate into the habits
and mores of our people.
These immigrants we're build
ers, they helped to build this
Nation. They did not come to
infiltrate idologies foreign to
the concept of this Govern
ment.
And why should we even
consider or give q second
thought to allowing persons
from one country to fill the
quota of another country, If
enough persons in the first
country have no desire to
leave their own country Tor
these shores? Our national
origins quota is very fair.
Much more than the idea Of
the "do-gooders," who want
to eliminate the national
origin quota altogether, and
also base the quota on the
1860 census. Thinking Ameri-
cans should take a. good look
at the groups behind this
move to let down our i'm
migration barriers and their
reasons for 1t. Then pass your

Progress Note in Canning Industry
BY THOMAS r. HENRY

The brand-new technique
OF microencapsulation - lit
orally canning" parts of
food substances in invisibly
minute "cans" less than a
25,000th of an inch in diam
eter - is promising revolu
tionary developments in the
food industry.
Originally developed by the
National Cash Register Co.
for quite different purposes,
the possible applications to
food now is the subject of in
tensive research by chemists
of the Stanford Research In
Stitute Of Menlo Park, Calf.
For example, the substances
which give a food substance
a bitter taste can be en-
capsulated and put back in
the food again. Bitterness
will be entirely eliminated, so
far as taste is concerned, but
the capsule covers will
quickly dissolve in the stom-
ach and the complete food
enter the digestive processes.
Pharmaceutical uses"
says the institute report,
would include the masking
of taste or odor of a sub
stance. In hypodermic injec-
tions, substances that cause
stinging or pain in the skin
could be encapsulated and
dissolved deep in the muscles
or blood stream.
Many Benefits
"Perishable nutrients in
foods likewise can be pre-
served in the process which,
like canning, can make the
materials shelf-stable. Fla
vors and aromas which are
lost by their high volatility
can be encapsulated and
added to mixtures of bever-
ages, cakes and the like.
Going from the dining
table to outer space, mutually
reactive agents in solid
rocket fuels might be en-
closed in microcapsules that
are broken down by the heat
Of firing. The capsules can
be tailored to fit particular
uses. Innumerable combina-
tions of variables can pro-
duce a wide variety of po-
tential uses. The process will
be applied in a growing
number Of ways in to-
morrow's world"

Washingtonians because it
emphasizes the movement

hicles: One city traffic lane
can move 1000 persons per
hour by automobile, 4,50O
persons by bus, and $4,000
persons by street cars. A
costly eXpressway lane can
only carry 2,400 persons per
hour by automobile, whereas
a private right-of-way, used
exclusively by street cars, can
accommodate at least $4,000
persons.
The report of the Toronto
Transit Commission was an
ticipated in Washington as
early as 1914 in the Joint
engineering report of j. E.
Greiner and DeLeuw Gather

same consultants urged the
retention and upgrading of
all seven of the rail lines
since then abandoned (Nos.

describing the electric cars
as "the backbone" of Wash

wise, no plaintiff cries are
heard at the Public Utili-
