PARIS.
In the face of the reaction
abroad to the recent events
in Alabama and Mississippi,
one can sympathize with
Edward r. Murrow and
everyone else whose job it is
to sell a benevolent and con-
vincing image of America to
the world.
Race hatred and mob vio-
lence in any form are poten-
TALLY more damaging to the
prestige Of the United States
than all the blunders that
governments can make on
the International stage.
Stories and pictures from
Montgomery, Ala, splashed
across the front pages of the
world press amount almost
certainly to a greater propa-
ganda defeat than the Gu
ban fiaSco. And, as in the
case of Little Rock, any real
understanding of the prob
lens and issues involved is
submerged in the sensational
and shocking details.
The real tragedy of Incl
dents of this kind is that
they create the impression
that racial tension and pref
udice are on the increase in
the United States. What
comes across to the foreign
audience is not the action
taken by the Federal Gov
ernment to protect the rights
of Southern Negroes but the
action of the mob.
Neither Little Rock nor
Montgomery are recognized
as advances in the cause of
desegregation but rather as
defeats, not only for the con-
cept of racial justice but for
law and order itself.
The day is long passed,
furthermore, when such in
cidents can be viewed dis
passionately as an internal
problem which is nobody
else's business. Racial preju-
dice today. wherever it exists.
is everyone's business, and
it produces the most violent
and automatic reactions. A
few years ago it would have
been unthinkable for South
Africa to have been elected
from the British Common
wealth for its policies of ra-
cial segregation. Today open
and violent race prejudice is
an evil which no nation can
afford if it still hopes to play
an effective role on the world
stage.
Damage in Key Areas
In the present case the
damage. of course. is done
particularly in those areas of
the world where American
interests and influence are
being most critically chal-
lenged. The understanding
Of the problem and the sense
Of proportion that one finds
in Europe can hardly be ex-
pected in those countries, re-
Gently liberated from white
domination, where SENSITIVE
ties are still raw and where
Com m u mist influence is
strong.
In these countries, months

T Three comments are in
order: (a) Israel and Argen-
tina have settled the issue
between them. (b) That "the
power of a court to try a
person for crime is not i'm
paired by the fact that he
had been brought within the
courts jurisdiction by reason
of a 'forcible' abduction" was
a unanimous decision by the
U. S. Supreme Court in 1852
(F'risbie VS.. Collins) and this
view has been held by our
Supreme Court in several
other cases, beginning with
Ker VS.. Illinois in 1886. (c)
Had Eichmann not been
seized, he might never have
been brought to trial. Such
notorious Nazi criminals as
Karl Klinghofer and DR..
Joseph Mengele are still at
large because of Argentina's
refusal to extradite them to
West Germany.
Mr.. Spencer'S gratuitous
suggestion that "the trial
aims at accomplishing politi-
cal rather than legal ends"
is belied by every competent
reporter at the trial. Patrick
O'Donovan writes: "The trial
has acquired such a dignity
and momentum of its own
that all the doubts about its
wisdom have been stilled."
And in another report he
says: "The trial itself has no
political airs. Justice is being
done and is seen to be done
The three judges are
still the quiet voices of West
ern justice"
I leave it to the reader to
judge the moral qualities of
Mr.. Spencer's characteriza-
tion of what is now being
heard in the Jerusalem court
room as "breast-beating and
a catalogue of human suffer-
ings."
Mr.. Spencer remarks that
Israeli leaders and their
representatives abroad should
say no more" about the
Eichmann trial. Unlike him,
I do not presume to speak
for any foreign state. I rep
resent no one but myself.
My observations on the his
toric significance of the
Eichmann trial, in The Sum
day Star of April %, were
prompted by my deep con-
cern, as a member of the
human species, about the
imperative lessons 1t con-
tains for the future moral
odyssey of mankind.

Most fishermen use hooks
and worms but the Army
now proposes to change to
rockets.
Experts at the Redstone,
Ala, Arsenal, home of the
Army's missile program, are
joining with the United
States Fish and Wild Life
Service in experiments on
possible applications of rock
cts in commercial fishing.
Harvey R. Bulls, jr., director
of the Gulf and South At
alntic Ocean Research Base
at PaScagoula, Miss, pro-
posed use of rockets to pro-
pei large nets over schools of
feeding tuna. His request for
assistance has drawn an en-
thuSiaStic response from
William P. Lloyd, director of
the test laboratory at Red
stone. Small rockets already
at Redstone are being con-
sidered for adaptation to the
rocket net scheme.
Mr.. Bulls emissions a gill
net 240 feet wide at the front
end and $50 feet long. This
net would be folded on the
deck of a fishing boat. Rock
cts would be used to whip
the net into the air and
spread it out over a school
of tuna up to 500 feet away
from the boat.
May Aid Commercial Fishing
Mr.. Lloyd plans initial
tests at Redstone Arsenal.
One of the Army firing
ranges has a lake on it. The
water is not stocked with
fish, but it is wide enough to
accommodate the fish net.
If the tests prove the rockets
feasible for net firings, ac-
tual fish hauls using the
system will be attempted in
the Gulf of Mexico.
THE commercial fishing
situation is getting serious"
says DR.. Bulls. Production
costs are high, labor is high.
and overall costs have in
creased greatly per man.
1--WE think the rocket fir
ing nets offer a better tech
nique than those currently
used in the industry. If it
works it will have a very
broad application"
Mr.. Bulls hopes a four or
five man crew could operate
the rocket net instead of the
dozen now required on a tuna
boat. According to his theory
the tuna will be schooled in
in a feeding area near the
surface. The boat will be
maneuvered into position and
the net will be fired to spread
out and land over the tuna
school.
TUNA go wild when they
are feeding" he says. when
the net lands on top of the
school they should become

WATCHING THE WORLD

Foreign Correspondent Of The stor

ficerS can be destroyed in the
space of a few moments Of
violence. And the mob in
Montgomery has done more
Gripping damage to the in
terestS of the United States
than anything the Com
munists have been able to do.
One can argue, of course,
that there is a great deal of
injustice and distortion in
this reaction. What is done
by a small minority of violent
and vicious men is hardly a
fair representation of Amer
lean opinion as a whole. A
handful of crackpots wear
ing swastikaS and preaching
hate is not accepted by every
one as evidence that fasciSm
is rampant in the United
States.
European View
In fact, among the more
thoughtful Europeans there
is sometimes a better per-
spective on these unpleasant
phenomena than is often
found at home. There is a
tendency here to view them
less as isolated incidents than
as part of a larger pattern.
And the problem is seen less
in strictly American terms
than as part Of a racial
revolution that has been go
ing on all over the world ever
since end of World War II.
That this revolution should
sooner or later have made it's
impact felt in the United
States has seemed inevitable
to most observers in Europe.
The fact that Soviet Premier
Khrushchev and President
Nkrumah of Ghana were
cheered in Harlem during the
last session of the United
Nations was not taken as a
sign that communism was
gaining ground among the
colored citizenry of New York.
Mr.. Khrushchev earned his
applause simply by being the
world leader who has most
often and most Loudly accused
the United States of racial
discrimination. In Mr.. Nkru-
nah they recognized the
leader of a new country whose
main and well-advertiSed OBJ
jective is to abolish the in
fluence of the white race in
Africa.
Sooner or later, it has
seemed inevitable that the
American Negro should be-
come aware of the universal
and successful assault that is
being made against privilege
and power of the white race
and should identify himself
with it in trying to deal with
his own problem. Admittedly,
this does not always make
progress toward racial in
tegration any easier. Some
go so far as to predict the
possibility of international
ization" Nf the American
racial conflict through an ap-
peal to the United Nations
by American Negro groups.
The crowning irony, perhaps.
but in the context Of the
worldwide racial revolution it
may be not quite as fantastic
as it sounds.

Cancer tissue is less mag
netic than normal tissue.
This finding. which prom
ises far-reaching results in
identifying and perhaps
stopping the spread of ma
lignant growths, has just
been announced by physi-
cists of the United States
Geological Survey, working
with specialists of the Ma
tional Cancer Institute of the
Public Health Service.
A few years ago DR.. ]. M.
Barnothy of the University
of Budapest reported that in
albino mice innoculated with
certain types of cancer there
was complete recovery in
four out of six animals placed
in a moderately high mag
netic field. All control ami
mails which were similarly
innoculated died.
Blood Change Noted
Analysis of the Budapest
results showed that the white
blood cell count in the ami
mails kept in the magnetic
field showed a significant
drop. The count increased to
peak value more than twice
normal when they were re-
moved from the field. Appar-
emily a high field hinders
mitosis, the undue multiple
cation of cells which is
characteristic of the disease.
A few months ago DR..
Frank Semitic of the Geologi-
cal Survey staff, together
with DR.. Arthur Thorpe of
Howard University, developed
a quartz spring magnetic
balance sensitive enough to
measure the magnetic prop
critics of individual parts Of
a tiny, single grain of mineral
matter. This balance turned
out to be so sensitive that it
is conjectured that it might
be used to test the difference
between magnetic properties
of malignant and normal
cells.
Results on measurements
of liver tissue of rats showed
the cancer tissue to be un-
questionably less magnetic
than its normal counterpart.
Further tests showed that the
cause Of this difference was
the type of ice formed when
frozen cells were studied.
Water in normal cells appar-
emily is held in a different
way than water in cancerous
cells, and hence leads to a
different kind of ice when
frozen.
A fundamental study now is
underway Of the magnetic
properties of the two kinds
of ice.

Of Oklahoma. said yesterday he

annual Federal airport aid bill
ana expects Kennedy admini-
stration support for 1t.
The Oklahoman said the
measure should be ready this
week.
He told Q reporter an *
panded airport program is
essential to help prevent such
crashes as the recent New York
collision Of two airliners which
took 1874 lives.
President Eisenhower vetoed
Q 500 million dollar airport
bill in 1868, saying the cities
should bear . bigger share Of
the cost.
Senator Monroney pushed a
similar measure through the
Senate again In 1859. The
House. yielding to administra-
tion objections. passed a small
er bill. and the final version
continued the $63 million an
nual grant program until 1861.
Senator Monroney said he
did not have word from the
new administration as to its
position on the legislation. But
he noted that as q Senator,
President-elect John F. Ken
nedy backed the 500 million
figure.
Senator Monroney, who heads
the Senate Aviation Subcom-
mittee. said the critical need
now in many large cities is for
an additional airport, located
at a considerable distance from
present fields. He mentioned
New York. Chicago, Los Ange-
les, Miami and Atlanta as cities
needing new airports.
