DR.. Carroll Looks Ahead

With the Inauguration yesterday Of
Dr. Thomas H. Carroll as it's thirteenth
president, George Washington University
enters a challenging new era Of aca-
demic growth and physical development.
1t is a challenge much to the liking Of
the 46-year-old former Californian,
for he has his sights on new frontiers
in higher education, in tune with re-
quirements of the space age"
DR.. Carroll we'll summed up his
philosophy as an educator in these
words "The university is properly con-
sidered to be a guardian of the past
and protector of the Nations historic
traditions and values, yet it also must
continue to serve as the principal social
institution dedicated to the creation of
new knowledge" He made it plain in
his inaugural address that George
Washington, while clinging to the tradi-
tions which have made it one Of the
Nations leading universities, will widen
its educational perspectives in several
fields.
In a world grown smaller through
new means of communication and closer
associations among nations, students at
George Washington will be given ever
greater opportunities to learn more
about their world neighbors and inter-
national affairs in general. And the
facilities of the university will be opened
wider to students from abroad wishing
to study our own ways of life.
Of special interest in this era of
scientific exploration of inner and outer
space will be the universityS expansion
of it's graduate and professional pro-
grams DR.. Carroll said that increasing
emphasis" will be given to research,
both basic and applied, commenting
that "the research atmosphere is a
creative atmosphere"
DR.. Carroll thus will continue and
enlarge upon the work so well carried
on by his predecessor, DR.. Cloyd Heck
Marvin, now president emeritus of the
institution. George Washington can look
forward to bright horizons of achieve
ment, national prestige and public
service.

Church VS.. Reds

We have tried everything
else, now let us try the prin-
cipal solution to the Com
munist problem in this
hemisphere. That is to &C
centuate the positive-build-
ing faith in God.
What do the Communists
do when they take over q
country? They attack the
churches and try to dis
courage religious teachings
to the youth. To fill the va
cancy they stress the atheis-
tic thoughts of being faithful
only to their human lords"
and doctrines. They destroy
mans love for his fellow men,
the party comes first.
Is there some way our free
country can shine through
the curtains that shade the
innocent behind them? Is
there some way we can begin
a local, then worldwide
movement to unite all Cody
faiths in a united movement
against communism? If so,
this positive attitude will
eliminate the negative and
help us, the free, to win.

Tunision Statesman

In the restless tide of nationaliSm
that has Surged over much Of the globe
since World War II, Habib Bourguiba
Of TuniSia has emerged as one of the
most understanding and effective states
men. AS President Of his country, he
is now welcome guest in Washington
For approximately quarter
Of century, beginning in 1880, Mr..
Bourguiba applied his great physical
energies and political SkillS to de-
veloping and leading the independence
movement in the then French Protec-
torate. BY 1947, when France began to
make its first substantial concessions
to Self-government, it was evident that
his long-term success was assured. In
1856, a constituent assembly named
him Premier, and year later a newly
proclaimed republic chose him its first
President. Significantly, one of his first
actions was to secure the adoption of
constitution modelled after that Of the
United States and to institute policy
In external affairs that Is based upon
close association with France, the
United States and the West in general.
Mr.. Bourguiba's craftsmanship, how
ever, extends beyond preoccupation with
the welfare Of his own country. It has
been his longtime dream that the
North African States of Morocco, Algeria
and TuniSia, whose history and culture
have been closely linked, should some
time be joined in a political federation.
For this reason, among others, he has
given his good offices to efforts to
resolve the long French-Algerian prob
lem, and his role Of "honeSt broker" in
this bitter conflict has earned him the
respect of both sides.
Mr.. Bourguiba has been in Wash
ington before, and it is mark of his
regard for this land of liberty and
democracy" that his son, Habib Bour-
guiba, jr., is now his country'S ambaS-
sador here. The warmth of Presi-
dent Kennedy's greeting to the Tuni-
sian President is Endorsed by many

CA Wotchdoo'

Senator Fulbright, following closed
door hearings by his Foreign Relations
Committee, has not been willing to pin
blame for the Cuban fiasco on any one
individual or agency The operation,
ne says, was mistake for which the
White House, the Defense Department,
the CIA and the State Department
share a collective responsibility"
This is not a notably informative
statement, and it is unlikely that the
four shared equally in the responsibility
Presumably, the Arkansas Senator
wanted to avoid singing out a scape-
goat, and, Of course, the ultimate
responsibility rests with the President
"a responsibility which Mr.. Kennedy
has not heSitated to assume.
If responsibility for the failure in
Cuba cannot be pinpointed, however,
there arises question as to the wisdom
Of the move in the Senate to create
joint congressional watchdog" COM
mittee. This group, If set up, would
be expected to keep an eye on all of
our intelligence activities. But it is
its sponsors that it is intended primarily
to ride herd on the operations of the CIA.
A similar proposal, put forward
in 1856, failed in the face of vigorous
opposition from President Eisenhower
and CIA Director Allen Dulles. Their
view, and there is much to support it,
is that the clandestine operations of
the CIA are Of such nature that
maximum Of secrecy is imperative. 1t
is true that the Joint Congressional
Committee on Atomic Energy, for the
most part at least, has been able to
function without security leaks. But
the operations of the CIA differ from
those Of the Atomic Energy Commission,
and the desirability of establishing
CIA watchdog" is open, we think, to
serious question.
Two considerations probably will
be controlling. One is the actual extent
Of CIA responsibility for the Cuban
miscalculation. The other is the
attitude Of the President.
As a Senator in 1946, Mr. Kennedy
voted for the watchdog" proposal. But
as President, he may feel differently.
At any rate, he is moving to re-activate
the Presidents Board of ConSultants
on Foreign Intelligence Activities, a
group which resigned to Mr.. Eisenhower
on January 7. We see no reason why
the desirable measure Of intelligence
supervision cannot be obtained through
such a board, assuming that it is
composed of the right men and that
it works at it's Job.

Little Hope in Laos

The call for cease-f1re has gone
out from both sides in Laos, and, while
the exact situation remains obscure,
there is reasonable basis for the belief
that the shooting soon will stop.
There is little if any reason to sup
pose, however, that a ceaSe-f1re will be
followed by political settlement leading
to the establishment of a genuinely
neutral country. Politically and mill
tarily, the Communists hold the high
cards. Barring military intervention
with active American support-a pros
pect that is remote, to say the least
Laos is gone, and the American people
should be prepared for this result.
A major difficulty has been that
there is no solid base in Laos upon
which to build strong position. Funda-
mentally, it is matter of the Laotian
attitude-the absence of strong
popular desire for freedom plus the will
to fight for it. In such situation, even
with the best of intentions, there is
not a great deal that friendly nations
can do to help.
If Laos goes, the Communist threat
will not subSide. 1t is already being
felt in South Wet Nam and it may be
expected in Thailand or Cambodia.
Perhaps the opportunity for an effective
stand will be better in one or more Of
these countries. The native attitude,
however, will continue to be an impor-
tant if not decisive factor.

Arab Aspirations

Constantine Browns article
on Nasser and the Arab
world contained several state
ments which were quite strik-
ing and also inaccurate. For
one thing, Yemen-far from
being hostile to Egypt
Is joined with it in a loose
confederation known as the
United Arab States. This un-
ion took place in 1858. To the
best Of my knowledge, there
are no strained relations be-
tween the United Arab Re
public and Saudi Arabia. The
latter has many Egyptians
working there and has had
for yearS-as school teachers,
for example. And who can be
more influential than teach
ers?
After the First World War,
the Arab world was dismem-
bered. divided between two
foreign powers. Britain and
France. 1t is not at all sur
prising that it wishes to be
united again. Furthermore,
the desire for unity and self
government existed long be-
fore anyone heard Of Nasser.
If he didn't exist, the desire
for unity would be a vital
force just the same.
AS for the Soviet Union,
the Communist Party is out
lawed in the United Arab Re
public and many Communists
have been Jailed. The Com
munist Party is banned, in
fact, in all the countries Of
the area except one. That is
Israel.

Rumor Mill

One Of the strangest, and possibly
most miSchievouS aftermathS OF the
frustrated revolt of the French generals
in Algeria has been the persistent rumor
that somehow or other the United
States Government was supporting the
insurrection. In keeping with the times,
perhaps, the Central Intelligence Agency
has been fingered" as the guilty party
charged in various quarters with help
ing to plot the coup, or at least encourag-
ing the misguided officers to undertake
the misadventure.
AS this rumor has spread, with the
usual elaboration at each step of its
progress, various sorts of evil "juStifica-
ton" have been cited to explain our
alleged double-dealing. At the base Of
these has been the claim that our
Government wished to be "rid" Of Presi-
dent de Gaulle because Of: Q) Diff
ferences of opinion within the NATO
alliance. (2) Disapproval Of his often
unfriendly attitude toward the United
Nations. (3) Fear that Algeria will go
Communist if he succeeds in his willing
ness to negotiate with the nationalist
mOVGUlGuI oil dCCCpIdUlC oVdGuo VI
independence for the North African
territory. The fact that none Of these
explanations makes sense apparently
does not deprive them of a certain
credibility when circulated in both the
Russian and some of the French press.
The initial story to this effect is reported
to have appeared in Moscow's Izvestia
where practice Of the "big lie" tech
nioue has become fine art.
On its face, the whole story is
rubbish. President Kennedy acted
promptly at the time of the revolt to
express his support of, and to-, General
de Gaulle. Even earlier, our own
Governments approval of General de
Gaulle's program for peace in Algeria
was a matter of record. In the pre-
sent instance, CIA Director Allen Dulles
has denied the sinister anti-American
rumors, and has stated that "the reports

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Rare Metal Has New PotentioIities
By THOMAS r. HENRY

A Cinderella of metals,
columbium, has been trans
formed into a titan.
Fairy godmother Of the
Transformation is the Naval
Research Laboratory which
has succeeded in overcoming
the great weakness which has
kept it out Of most industrial
applications in the past. It
is ductile and easily workable
into all sorts of instrument
parts at temperatures above
2,200' F., at which most
metals melt. The great weak
ness, however, has been the
tendency of the metal to
combine with oxygen in the
air and deteriorate into pow
der in a few weeks.
Oxygen Barrier
This has been overcome,
according to a laboratory re-
port through the Office of
Naval Research, by covering
the columbium with a thin
coating Of zinc. At high
temperatures the zinc enters
into chemical combination
with the columbium and at
still higher temperatures these
compounds mix with oxygen
and form a zinc oxide gas.
This prevents any oxygen
from actually coming in con-
tact with the columbium. In
other words, an oxygen bar
rier" is set up so that the
columbium does not deteri-
crate.
The process continues, al
most regardless of the tenn
perature. The remaining zinc
continues to enter into COM
binationS with the other
metal, and more gas is re-
leased. The process is con-
tinuouS. From a useful life
time of a few hours, colum-
blum retains its properties for
weeks and even months.
Columbium is a steel-gray,
luStrouS metal, closely re-
lated to tantalum, which is
quite rare in nature and
hitherto has been of almost
no commercial Importance.
The Navy accomplishment
promises to make it the most
valuable of all metals for
space instruments and per-
haps for the bodies of space
craft where exposure to very
high radiation is unavoidable.

creatures, the sea cucumber,
may produce not only the
most potent of shark repel-
lents, but a hitherto un-
suspected e-blocking and
antiblood clotting agent.
Office of Naval Research
scientists are testing the
properties Of holothurin, a
poison secreted by the crea-
lures to protect themselves
from their enemies. If it is
found that it can be used
successfully by man to repel
sharks and other dangerous
sea animals, says a Navy re-
port, it could result in greatly
increased safety for skin
divers, survivors of ship and
plane wrecks and marine
salvage workers.
Related projects may we'll
benefit mankind in general,
according to the report. One
Of the chief investigators is
DR.. Ross Nigrelli of the New
York Geological Society.
Studies of the chemical
structure and pharmacologi-
cal applications of halothurin
are being conducted at the
Mount Sinai Hospital, New
York. Other studies Of the
biological effects of the sub
stance are underway at the
Naval Medical Research In
stitute.
ClOtting Time Advanced
Studies to date have shown,
according to DR.. Nigrelli,
that holothurin increases the
clotting time of blood and
has apparently powerful ef-
fects on the nervous system.
In laboratory tests it has
stopped the growth of tu-
morS in white mice.
During the last war Navy
chemists developed a syn
thetic shark repellent that
now is a standard component
of all survival kits. Later
tests, however, have indicated
that the substance Is less OBJ
jectionable to sharks than
first appeared. Holothurin,
the Navy scientists believe,
may be a much better re-
pellent for all dangerous
ocean creatures.
The sea cucumners are
widely distributed through
the worlds oceans, but are
little known. They seem like
bags of skin which creep over
the sea floors. Most are quite
small but a few reach a
length of two to three feet.
