SbeA SNNAA "AAeNA
The -four horsemen" Of den-
tiStry, as they're called in Be-
thesda, watched . 30-year
dream come true yesterday.
The scientists, fathers Of the
country'S fluoridation program
and backbone Of the National
Institute Of Dental Health,
gathered from different parts
Of the country for the dedica-
ton Of the new a million Den
tai Research Building.
They are largely credited
with helping to bring dental re-
search into its own.
In 1881 DIR. H. Trendley
Dean, now Of Evanston, H.,
was the only dental researcher
in the United States Public
Health Service. From that
start he grew to become di-
rector Of the institute from 194S
to 1858, when he retired.
Talk Over Old Times
With him were Dr.. Francis
Arnold, jr., the present direc-
tor; DR.. Elias Elvove of 2O14 q
street NV, who retired as
senior chemist in 1853, and DR..
Frank j. Mcclure, chief Of the
institutes Laboratory Of Bio
chemistry.
After Health, Education and
Welfare Secretary Ribicon
dedicated the building, the
-four horsemen" gathered in q
conference room to talk about
old days.
This place has come from
DR.. Deans old desk to q 81
million building since 1881"
DR.. Elvove said. DR.. Elvove was
q chemist at the old building
at Twenty fifth and E streets
NV.
The pair began working on
fluoridation, starting with the
fact that many people in GER
tain areas Of the country suf-
fered, from mottled or stained
enamel.
New System Developed
While DR.. Elvove worked on
the chemical angle, DR.. Dean
developed q system Of applying
epedemiology to dentistry.
He showed the relationship
between nuoride, found natur-
ally In all water, to the tooth
discoloring. That was because
certain areas Of the country
naturally had too much nuoride
in the water.
In 1885 DR.. Mcclure was ask
ed to join the work by DR..
Dean because he was the only
man in the country who had
done much work on fluoride.
He went to work on the physi-
illogical effects of the element
on the body.
DR.. Arnold entered the Pub
lie Health Service in 1887 and
soon was sent on the Bering
Sea Patrol. when DR.. Dean
heard about that" he recalled,
II got immediate orders to leave
Alaska" So DR.. Arnold began
the first thorough survey Of
fluoride and its connection with
tooth decay.
The National Institute of
Dental Research was officially
established by Congress in
1948--the first official recogni-
ton Of dental research.

Modus VVendi for Berlin Crisis

is also pertinent to note that
Berlin is not an isolated
issue. There are pressures in
Wet Nam, in Laos and in
Africa where the ambitions
of the Communist regime in
Moscow are producing con-
siderable tension. 1t may be
doubted whether any single
issue would block an overall
settlement if there were a
genuine desire on both sides
for a peaceful result.
Up to now the disarmament
question has been lost in a
welter of words, with each
side sparring for an advan-
tageous position which it con-
siders vital to it's own secur-
ity. The controversy over nu-
clear testing is part of the
general problem of relative
military strength as between
the East and the West. Back
of it all. however, is a mutu-
al distruSt. No amount of
Speechmaking on generalities
will of itself build up mutual
trust. What's needed is more
attention to ways and means
of informing peoples every
where as to the true facts
behind the tension in the
world.
What each side fears today
is that it will be represented
before the world as having
made a concession" or that
its willingness to negotiate"
may be construed as a will
ingness to surrender on some
vital point. None of this is
necessary when a "modus
vivendi" is offered and ac-
cepted. 1t simply keeps the
existing rights intact for both
sides and devises a formula
to achieve in five to seven
years the overall objective
a reunited Germany under a
government to which all gov
ernments in the East and
West can accord full diplo-
matte recognition and which
can be universally accepted as
a partner in maintaining the

the East and West agree to

If such an agreement isn't
possible now, then a "modus

August 13-when the East
Berlin border was closed-be

mite lease of life while the
Soviet government purSues its

Kennedy said in his speech,
it doesn't matter what paper

ernment makes with the East
German government. What
does matter is whether the
East German government,
encouraged by the SovietS,
starts to commit acts of ag-
gresSion and seeks to brush
aside established rights of
the United States. Britain
and France in West Berlin.
Fundamentally, there are
today lots of unsettled ques-
tions, including the right of
the East German people to
self determination" but
"moduS vivendi" could pro-
vide a five-year formula in
which to move forward to-
ward the attainment of such
an objective.

WILLIAM S. WHITE

President Kennedy has de-
liberately moved the immedi-
ate focus of the cold war
from Berlin to Southeast
Asia in a profoundly signifi-
cant challenge to test
whether the Russians are in
fact willing to negotiate in
good faith anywhere in the
world.
This - at a time when
much is being said and
printed on doubtful author
ity-is no rumor. 1t is re-
ported here on the highest
possible authority, that of
the President himself.
Mr.. Kennedy believes that
what Nikita Khrushcnev is
willing to door not do-in
the face of a gathering new
Communist assault on neutral
Laos may we'll determine
whether there is much real
point in trying to deal with
him over Berlin. The Berlin
showdown can hardly come
for many weeks; the Laotian
showdown is just over the
horizon.
This is the inner meaning
of the Presidents observa-
ton in his United Nations
speech that the new threat
to peace in Laos was indivis-
ible from all other threats,
including that to Berlin.
Though nominally address,
ing this warning to the
world, he was Intentionally
directing it straight to Mr..
K hrus h chew. Mr.. Khru-
Shchev, as the saying goes,
has got the message.
He had insisted to the
President in their meeting in
Vienna that he, too, was in
terested in keeping war out
of Southeast Asia and in
guaranteeing the true indie
pendence of Laos. What Mr..
Kennedy is now saying to
him is about this:

DAVID LAWRENCE

II the Berlin issue were the
only one that separated the
East and the West today.
there would be a compare
lively easy way to handle it
at least for several years.
Diplomacy has long held
a trump card to play in
similar emergencies. This
starts with the acceptance by
both sides of the proposition
that a particular dispute is
for the time being unsolvable.
Then it is usually proposed
that a "moduS Vivendi" be
adopted. This means "a way
of living" with the difficulty
without actually solving it.
But the procedure is often
successful. There have been
cases where the controversy
in question was ultimately
solved with the passage OF
time and with the later de-
velopment of a spirit OF con-
ciliation. There have been
other cases where the prob
lem remained unsolved indef
.initely, or at least till some
other circumstances arose to
bring a new approach.
The Berlin problem is part
ly a legal and partly an emo
tional question. 1t is, of
course. related to the ambi-
ton of the Communist re-
gime in Moscow to extend
its influence and its empire
and to keep the two Ger
manys from being reunited.
A "moduS vivendi" need not
mean an abandonment OF the
issues themselves. and it
could mean a decision to eX-
plore various ways of produc-
ing a settlement. Thus, what
are the rights of the Western
Allies? Have they grown OBJ
Solete, as the Communists
claim? Do rights disappear
just because a few years have
elapsed, or are they funda-
mental and rooted in or i'm
piled in written agreements?

All this is why the Presi--

here in private by the most
powerful Republicans, as well
as the Democrats, as a great
and bipartisan speech. They

President Believed Testing the Soviets'
Willingness to Negotiate in Good Faith

You told me that, in Laos
at least, you were willing to
call off these Communist
thruSts against small and
helpless powers which want
to stay out of the cold war.
Here, now, is your opportu-
nifty to show that restraint
and to give proof, in this one
area at least, of your inten-
tionS.
Chinese Reds Prepare
Even as the President
spoke at the U. NJ, the Chi
nese Commu uniStS were
openly forecaSting "a re-
sumption of the Laotian
war" when the rainy season
has ended.
Mr.. Kennedy'S somewhat
cryptic public remarks about
Southeast Asia may, there
fore, turn out to have been
even more significant, for
the short run, than his
somber pledge to use every
weapon, including the atomic
weapon, if forced to do so to
defend Western and West
German rights in Berlin.
For Mr.. KhruShchev is now
on notice that Berlin is not
negotiable in any way if the
Russians mean to soften
their grim menace there only
to begin assaulting other free
peoples elsewhere.
If Mr.. Khrushchev talks
of peace and plans for war,
Laos will tell the story. If,
happily and for once, he
talks of peace and means
peace, this, too, will emerge
from the steamy jungleS of a
place far removed from bat
tered Berlin.
