C'est ST Bon!

At last sequence of international
negotiation has come to happy fruition.
One speaks, naturally, of the felicitouS
turn Of events which has brought to the
White House kitchen a French chef, M.
Rene Verdon.
1t has long been known that New
Frontierdom as practiced by the Sophis-
tlcated first family stops short of the
crude rationS and hardy fare partaken
OF by the pioneer. In fact, the Kennedy
enthusiasm for the refined cuisine of
the French precipitated something of
an international scandal when it became
known that someone at 1900 Pennsyl-
vania Avenue had been making eyes
at a Viet-Namese culinary magician
named Bui Van Han, the treasure of the
French Embassy in London. AS the
Washington correspondent Of the New
York Times, James Reston, pointed out
at the time, the Inflated maneuver was
in violation Of every known code from
the Ten Commandments to the U. N.
Charter.
Rebuffed, exposed, the Kennedy
agents, like Robert Bruce, refused to
admit defeat. The search continued,
and VOLTA! M. Verdon was approached,
was willing and presided at the range

of England came to lunch For Mr.

Latin allies desirous of preparing them
selves to resist Castro-type invasionS.
The steady growth of CaStro's military
forces, armed with weapons from Com
muniSt sources, has given other countries
in the Caribbean area real cause for
alarm.
President KennedyS interest in the
guerrilla training program was evi-
denced in his budget request for 5000
more men for the Army'S Special Forces
"a substantial increase in the present
strength. With this addition, our Army
will be able not only 20 expand greatly
its own guerrilla forces for possible ac-

Communist aggression. The time and
money invested in this special sort of
conventional warfare could pay big

Sprinqtime Statistics

If current expressions of hopeful
ness about business recovery are trace
able in part to normal Springtime
optimism (Which does seem to prevai),
it is more Solidly encouraging that there
are some statistics to support the mood.
AS always, steel operations offer a
favorite yardStick. The American Iron
and Steel Institute reports increased
production for the fourth consecutive
week and forecasts that the tonnage
output will break through the level of
last June either this week or next. When
it does, the steel industry will consider
its recovery official" Industry SpokeS-
men are particularly pleased that
lengthening variety Of steel products is
represented in the improvement, with
purchases by the automobile companies
being one of the major ones. Col
laterally, automobile sales in March
approached the half-million mark
nearly one-third higher than the
February total
At the same time, Commerce
Department figures show that total
sales of manufacturers, wholesalers
and retailers turned upward in February
for the first monthly net gain since
April of 1860. In turn, business inven-
tories were down-With signs that new
ordering is beginning to increase. On
the job front, the Labor Department
reports that workers drawing State un-
employment compensation had dropped
in number for five consecutive weeks as
of March 25.
But if these statistics reflect a
favorable turnaround in the economy,
they do not yet assure a strong and
rapid recovery. DR.. Walter w. Heller,
chairman of the Presidents Council of
Economic Advisers, has reminded the
Joint Economic Committee of Congress
that unemployment-not only Of person.

needs, the administration is turning its
greater attention now to the longer
term problems President Kennedy's
promised recommendations in the
broad f1eld'' of tax revision are ex-
pected to be in this category and they
could contribute both materially and

Anti-GueriIIo GueriIIos

Of things to come in Latin America, our
Armys vaguely defined Special Forces

Zoo-o Federal OBLIGATION

Senator Case of South Dakota,
former chairman Of the Senate District
Committee, is right. The National
geological Park here is properly a

His bill to place the Zoo under the
National Park Service, thus relieving
the District budget of an unwanted and
illogical financial burden, is Soundly
based and ought to be passed.
Under the long existing and strange
Setup ordained by Congress when the
Zoo first was established, responsibility.
for maintenance and improvement of
the Rock Creek Park animal haven is
divided between the District govern
ment and the Smithsonian Institution.
The District puts up the money but has
no administrative control whatever over
the Zoo Administrative control is
lodged in the board of regents of the
Smithsonian. Small wonder that the
Zoo has suffered from this division of
responsibilities.
AS things stand now, the Zoo is an
enclave in Rock Creek Park, which the
National Park Service controls. Senator
Case contends that since the Zoo
physically is part of the park and is
more National than a District insti-
tuition, the logical place for it is under
the Park Service. We are glad to note
that Interior Secretary Udall agrees.
Certainly the Zoo will continue to suffer

startled today to see the ma
chimes on the modern Amer
ican farm.
The capital investment per
farm worker in America to-
day is well above that Of the
factory employe. 1t is a
whopping $4,000 per man.
CThe figure is much higher
on the huge commercial
farms.) The figure of $4,000
includes the smaller farms
where a tractor and its ac-
cessories are adequate for
mechanization.
AS the number of farms
declines the demand for
machinery increases. Last
year cotton picker sales led
the field. Now that the num-
ber of farms in the United
States is down to about 4
million from Sc million in
the last decade, sales of farm
machinery are expected to
set new records in 1861.
There are perhaps a million
SubSiStence-type farms which
in the years ahead will either
be abandoned to some other
land use or merged with
larger acreageS. AS the total
number is reduced, the aver
age size increases. These will
require more machines.
New Farm Implements
Manufacturers of agricul-
tural machinery have new
products for 1861. Ford has a
new five-plow tractor with
1000 pounds of draWbar pull.
Motec Industries has a new
haybaler with a pickup ca
pacity up to 10 tons an hour.
j. I. Case is introducing a
siX-plow tractor using diesel
or liquid propane fuel. Deere
has new tractors and a self
propelled combine. Other
companies also offer new
equipment which cuts costs
and reduces labor require
mentS. Combined with these
advances are new fertilizers,
hybrids, and techniqueS. Our
fewer farmers produce larger
surpluSes.
We tend to think of indus
try as offering the most rev.
olutionary advances in me-
chanization. Not so. In 1886,
one in every four Americans
was a farm dWeller. Today
the farm population is less
than 9 per cent of our pop
ulation.
In 20 years, production,
from roughly the same num-
ber of acres, is up so per cent.
Man-hour output has tripled.
The image of the plowman
and the sleepy horse is no
longer valid.

Momentous Space Feat

triumph is fully justified The magni-
tude, both scientifically and politically,
of the Soviet success in orbiting Major
YHri AlekSeyevich Gagarin around the
earth and landing him unharmed on
Russian soil can scarcely be exaggerated.
Sir Bernard Lowell, director of Britain'S
Jodrell Bank Space Observatory, may
not have everStated the case in describ-
ing the feat as "the greatest scientific
achievement in the history of man."
- The fact that Russia has won this
phase of the space race in which Soviet
ard American rocket experts have been
feveriShly engaged is naturally diSap-
pointing to our own scientists. Quite
properly, however. they have been quick
to hail the Russian exploit on its merits

Although nobody need be
too sad about the Eichmann
capture, there are everal
very disturbing aspects that
have not gotten the airing
that they deserve. A world
interested in freedom and
justice should be more in
tereSted in how the judgment
is to be made, and less in
terested in making the judg-
ment for themselves and ap-
plauding when the real judg-
ment agrees with theirs. Here
are the legal abuses which
underlie the rejoicing pub
licity:
l. In a world beset with
disagreementS among small
nations on questions of law
and sovereignty, it is rather
hypocritical for n nations
which uphold the right of
borders to laud the infiltra-
ton of one nation by an
other. in order to kidnap
one Of the first nations resi-
dents. Most nations coop
crate very nicely when ex-
tradition is requested. What
is one to say when Israels
critics accuse these people of
fancying the whole world
their moral Jurisdiction?
2. The law under which
Eichmann is to be tried.
Grimes against the Jewish
people," is quite unsound in
the eyes of most juristS be-
cause of its vagueneSs. One
of the three judges who is
to try Eichmann has said
that it is done this way be-
cause Eichmann is being
tried as a symbol. not as
an individual" This sug-
geStS little objectivity.
3. Since the crimes were
committed before Israel was
founded. and before this law
came into existence. it is an
ex post facto law. something
that international juristS
universally oppose.
4. The crimes were COM
mitted outside of Israel and
by a non-Israeli. Clearly,
this violates the all-im import
ant rule of national sover-
eighty.
5. Israel has refused to
grant safe conduct for the
witnesses for the defense.
Other Germans will not be
able to go to Israel without
fear of arrest.
I doubt that there are
many who would predict the
acquittal of Eichmann by
any impartial international
tribunal. With this in mind,
the actions OF Israel seem
especially irrational. If the
rest of the world approves
of those methods because of
Eichmann's obvious guilt,
then the long historical fl
bers which comprise COM
mon law are KEN d.
Common law has become the
great pillar Of the protec-
ton of the rights of man.
and has come into being
through the constant addi-
ton of equitable precedents.
The addition of the Eich-
mann case as a legitimate
precedent is a step back
ward to the black depths of
anarchy.

Long Legs of Law

A little checking to supple
ment The Stars news item
on March 80, 1861. on pro-
motions in the Metropolitan
Police Department, produced
a result interesting to Dis
trict taxpayers. Fourteen
promotions were announced
by Police Chief Robert v.
Murray. OF these fourteen,
not one of them could be
identified in the phone book
as living in the District!
OF those pretty certainly
identified, ten live in Virginia
or Maryland; the other four
could not be identified for
certain and also may not live
in the District.
This raises some pre- ty
interesting questions for
Commissioner Tobriner and
Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee.
Both Of these gentlemen have
expressed interest in economy
in the District Government.
Task forces have been set up
to look into the matter, one
of which is for the Police
Department.
District taxpayers are pay
ing about 80 per cent of the
salaries of District employees.
Since taxing authority stops
at the District line, District
employees Gncluding police
mem living outside the Dis
trict pay nearly 100 per cent
of their taxes to either Mary
land or Virginia. OF course,
this means that District tax
payers are not getting a fair
shake for their tax dollar.
But economy and taxes are
not the whole problem. I'd
like to suggest that there is
something else we're missing,
perhaps more than the
money. This is the true and
full dedication to District
affairs by it's employees.
Whether a policeman can
devote his full attention and
energies to his District duties
and the general welfare Of
the District when he doesn't
live in the District, raises a
very searching question. n.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Automotion in Tomorrow's Hospitals
By THOMAS r. HENRI

In the hospital of tomor-
row every patients condition
from second to second will
be recorded automatically
and continuously at the desk
of the wards head nurse.
There need no longer be de-
pendence on daily rounds of
the doctor or routine rounds
of the nurse. The instant any
sick person takes a turn for
the worse it will Immediately
be recorded.
This revolutionary devel-
opment is forecast in a re-
port to the Office of Naval
Research by Capt. Carl E.
Pruitt, bioscience officer at
the Pacific Missile Range,
Point Mugu, Calf, and John
N. Shellenbarger, technical
support director. 1t will cas-
lily be possible. they say,
through development at
Point Mugu of an electronic
system for testing missiles in
flight. The same techniqueS,
they believe, could be used to
get a continuous record, at
a distance, of the condition
of a sick human being. They
already have applied them to
men as we'll as missiles to
a limited degree.
"A system is visualized,"
says the report, wherein a
patient who is quietly dying
and unable to sound an
alarm would without any
f-initiated action audibly
and viSibly call the attention
of the supervisor to his crit
ical condition"
Many Advantages
Can we afford any
longer" the missile range Of
officers ask, "the risk of
human error inherent in the
system of having a patients
vitality periodically deter
mined in person by nurses
and attendants? Must we
rely on the tolerance limit
of the individual patient to
provide for us the danger
signal when he calls in alarm
or pain? Must time be
squandered at the bedside in
taking pulse rate, respira-
ton and temperature to as
Sess a patients critical con-
dition when this information
could have been continuously
available at the nurses

Miniature portable ampli-
fiers, the report says, have
been developed suitable for

graphic signals to recording

port, can be driven by suit
