VISTAS IN SCIENCE
FolIow-Up Planned on ICY Findinos
BY THOMAS R. HENRY

A little International
Geophysical Year" with 20
to 80 participating nations
is planned to extend from
April, 1864, to December,
1865.
This will be a quiet sun
year." it is predicted, when
activities of the solar disk
affecting the earth and in
terplanetary space will be
at an 11-year minimum.
Announcement of the plans
has just been made through
the National Academy of Sci
ences.
Solar and geophysical
studies during the ICY" says
the Academy report, "ad-
vanced our understanding of
the many phenomena of the
earth'S atmosphere and in
near space that are influ-
enced by solar disturbances,
and uncovered many new
features of the atmosphere
and Of solar-terrestrial coup
lings. The success Of the
ICY program led scientists
to continue, on a less for
NAL basis, many upper at
mosphere and solar obser-
vations. 1t was thought that
many of them would extend
through the waning portion
of the solIr cycle. In aGdi-
ton, the suggestion was made
that certain types of obser-
vations should be repeated
in a little ICY at the time
of minimum solar activity
so that some terrestrial
couplings at time of both
maximum and minimum
solar activity could be COM
pared"
New Experiments Planned
The new program was Of
ficially decided upon at an
information meeting in Paris
held q few weeks ago. It
was emphasized at this meet
ing, according to the report,
that the little ICY "is not
to be considered as q smaller
scale repetition Of the ICY
but it is intended that full
advantage shall be taken
of the new knowledge Of
solar-terrestrial relationships
gained during the other
ICY and also of the i'm
proved and new techniques
for geophysical research
which have been developed
in the intervening years.
Certain types of programs
will be repeated, though prob
ably with less extensive geo.
graphical coverage. In many
fields new experiments are
being suggested stemming
from new knowledge. Some
experiments and observations
will be possible that could

THE POLITICAL MILL
By GOULD LINCOLN
How the 'Pocking' Fell Out

The opponents of Federal
control Of public education
in the United States are
drawing sighs of relief-even
If temporary-because Of the
action of House Rules Com
mittee in ditching the Ken
nedy administration is school
bills. 1t does not matter that
the lethal blow was delivered
by a coalition of Republicans,
conservative Democrats and
Catholics, most Of them ac-
tuated by different causes
and principles. The fact re-
mains that by its vote the
Rules Committee has almost
certainly killed these bills for
the present session Of Cong
ress. The Senate passed the
Kennedy bill dealing with
public schools in q form the
administration desired. The
House, however, is a differ
ent thing.
Kennedy to Fight Back
This, perhaps, has been the
rudest jolt President Ken
nedy has yet experienced, so
far as his legislative pro-
gram is concerned. He al
ready has made. it clear he
intends to fight back and
use all his influence to get
favorable action in the House
itself. He declared that he
would not stand for q sep
arate bill continuing Federal
aid to public schools in i'm
pacted areas" where large
Federal Government installa-
tionS and the children of the
Federal employees have placed
heavy burdens on the school
districts. This could mean
much to many Congressman,
for there are many such
areas, affecting most of the
States. The Presidents stand
on this measure. If persisted
in, might prove a club which
he could use to get the whole
program adopted. Whether
the President would 60 so far
as to veto such a separate
measure, or whether he
would veto another impor-
tant measure to which it had
been added as an amendent
is anybody's guess.
The jolt in the Rules Com
mittee is ludicrous when it
Is considered that Speaker
Sam Rayburn, with the back
ing Of the President, packed
the committee so that Ken
nedy domestic legislation
could be sure Of obtaining
special rules for considera- =
ton by the House. They
were intent on clipping the
wings Of the committees
veteran chairman, Represen-
tative Howard w. Smith of
Virginia, who with other con-
servatives had been able to
hold down radical legislative
proposals. The packing, +"
however. did not take into
consideration the fact there
are two members who belong
to the Catholic church, and
many Catholics feel the
public school bill discrimi-
mates against their parochial
schools. The Democratic
floor leader Of the House
Representative John Nc
Cormack Of Massachusetts,
Is one. So one of the two
Catholics on the Rules Com
mittee lined up with Chair

man Smith and the conser-
vatives and the other stuck
by the President. It made
the vote 8 to Z in favor of
tabling the school bills.
President Kennedy has
urged members of the House
to use other procedures for
getting the school bill UP for
consideration and action. AS
a former member Of the
House, he is well aware Of
these procedures-and how
difficult they are. A bill can
be called UP on calendar
Wednesday (the committees
are called in order to bring
bills before the House,. Con-
sideration Of a measure un-
der this rule must be COM
pleted within the day. Also,
a committee ahead Of the
Education and Labor Com
mittee could use up the entire
day with some bills of its
own. A second procedure is
to obtain 219 signatures
to a petition to discharge"
a committee from further
consideration of a bill and
bring it Immediately before
the House. A third, is by
suspension Of the rules of
the House. which would re-
quire a two-thirds vote.
Who Will Foot Bill?
Those who oppose Federal
control Of education in this
country and believe it should
be left to the States, see a
very real hazard If the
Federal Government starts
spending hundreds Of mil
lions of dollars. not only to
construct school houses but to
pay teachers salaries. They
can foresee these contribu-
tlons reaching into the bill
lions, with the States saying
to themselves: why should
we put UP so much money If
the Federal Government is
doing it for the schools?" In,
the end, the agency of Gov
ernnent that pays the bills
controlS-and that control of
education will be lodged in
the National Capital and in
the hands of the Chief
Executive and the political
party which controls the
Congress. The cry has been
that the States are unable to
meet the necessary expenses
Tor education-that the Fed
eral Government must step
IN. But many of the States
have been meeting these ex-
penses adequately, and others
can. If they will. In any event,
the money used by the Fed
eral Government to pay for
schools and teachers comes
from the people Of the States
- the great mass of tax
payers.
The presumption now is
that the school bill or bills
will not receive final action
during the present session.
expected to run until the
middle of September. Even If
the bill is brought up in the
House. 1t may be defeated BY
the same coalition which de-
feated 1t in the Rules Com
mittee. It does not die with
the end Of the session. 1t can
be brought up again when
Congress meets. But next year
is an election year-a year in
which many cross-currentS
will operate.

Berlin Solutions?

I was much disturbed by
the rumors that there will
be a mobilization to prepare
for a possible limited" war
arising from the Berlin crisis.
This unnecessarily adds to the
great tension already exist
ing. Other and better ways
can be found for dealing with
the current situation.
Put the matter before the
United Nations instead of
calling for mobilization. The
moral force of all the nations
of the world should have an
effect on leaders of all coun-
tries.
The matter Of the Soviets
signing q peace treaty with
East Germany should not
give cause for such great
alarm in view of the fact that
the Soviet Union has stated
that there would be free ac-
cess by the allied governments
to Berlin. If, when the peace
treaty is signed, such access
is denied, then the matter
can be considered and proper
action decided on at that
time.
The suggestion of mobili-
zation at this time smacks of
the craftsmanship of which
former Secretaries of State
John Foster Dulles and Dean
Acheson were frequently &C
cused. Leading Republicans
who have criticized mobili-
zation have raised needed
voices of reason.
The suggestion by Senator
Mike Mansfield that Berlin
be made a free city certainly
deserves more consideration
than has been given to it..
If this can be done with a
garrison kept in the city of
troops from the allied govern
Inents = and free access
guaranteed to the allies into
Berlin-this might be the SOL
ution to the problem.
Another solution that
might be possible is the crea-
tion of a totally neutralized
Germany in return for the
naturalization and demilitari-
cation of several Of the Soviet
satellites such as Czechoslo-
vakia, Hungary and Poland.

New Frontier Spending

Senator Williams Of Delaware IS an
economy minded Republican. This
means that his little speech in the Sen
ate the other day was not necessarily
free of partisanship. Nevertheless, his
factual points are worthy of notice as
a new fiscal year gets under way.
The deficit for the fiscal year which
ended June 80 will be about SO billion.
During its first five months in office
the Kennedy administration was respon-
sible for $2.3 billion of this by spending
money in excess of revenues. Senator

Mans Best Friends

I am writing about a mat
ter of which I am sure most
of the general public is un-
aware. Recently I witnessed
a cruel and inhumane spec
tacle involving the catching
of. a stray dog by the drivers
Of the pound truck. The dog
catchers chased a large dog
painting and limping to the
front of the General Account
ing Office Building on g
street, and because he would
not willingly submit to a net,
they threw q lasso around
his neck and almost choked
him to death. They dragged
him to the wagon and threw
him in. his tongue till hang
ing out, his eyes closed, his
foot bleeding, and the rope
still around his neck. When
some spectators asked them
to be more gentle, they were
told to mind their own busi-
ness" There are bloody paw
prints in front of the build
ing now.
All of us understand that
the pound picks up" stray
animals, but this seems to be
a very violent way Of picking
up.
Along this line, I should
also like to mention the policy
of some of the animal
rescue" leagues and "shel-
terS" in this area. From what
some of the employees have
told me, the rescuing and the
sheltering are only for the
pure breed animals, and the
others are Immediately put
to sleep" For years I con-
tributed to the animal rescue
organizations, feeling that
they tried to get homes for
all, not just Q few. The
playful, intelligent little mon
grel is also worthy Of an ef-
fort to place him. The great
est mission the leagues could
accomplish with the money
that is given them by animal
loving citizens each year would
be to offer free sterilization.
In this way, there would be
a great decrease in the popu-
lation, and less activity in
the death chambers. How
ever, this might not be pleas
ing to all, as some people
might be put out Of jobs!

Civil Defense Query

The Berlin crisis has, no
doubt, turned the thoughts of
many to the idea of building
a fallout shelter. 1t is ex-
tremely easy to construct a
home shelter; but brief re-
Election reveals that this OPP
Grafton would scarcely scratch
the surface of the problem it
is designed to solve. At least
three major questions arise:
/. No satisfactory provi-
sion has been made for chill
dren in school or workers at
their jobs. Certainly they
could not reach home in half
an hour nor could they re-
main in some basement for
two weeks without water or
food. Who can sit quietly in
a home shelter while most of
the family may be slowly
dying?
2. Few families have shell
ters. Would one ask his neigh
bors to please leave, or take
them in and all lose the
chance for survival? I visual
ize with horror the pleading,
panic and possible violence
surrounding any private shell
ter at the sound of an air
raid siren.
8. No one has yet informed
us how we might do some
thing constructive other than
saving our own skins. Is there
adequate mobile protection
for a CD corps or do we all
lie low waiting for the next
bomb?
I hope that our OCD, now
undergoing reorganization,
will be able to furnish solu-
tions to these problems very
soon. The obvious answer to
each is an all-out program,
which could be conducted
by an official expert in each
State backed by organized
volunteers for each county
community and city block
If only the necessary leader
ship is provided, the Ameri-
can people will do their part.

A White Cot, A
Catfish And A Body

Hattiesburg, Miss. (ANP) -
Both pathos and humor accompan-
led last weeks flood here, most
severe in the citys history. One
agile colored woman, splashing
into her back yard with a white
cat under her arm, gave the cat an
upward heave - like a basketball
player dropping the ball in bas-
ket-and the feline landed safely,
high up on the roof of the porch.
Another flood victim weighing
300 pounds, who was being saved,
pleaded with his rescuers as they
tried to get his huge bulk into a
rowboat: please don't drop me
gentlemen, I'm too doggone heavy
to float" Still another man, fish
ing from his front porch, caught
a catfish in two feet of water.
And two nurses were padded to
the home of an expectant mother,
delivered her baby. then padded
both back to dry land and safety.
