The restoration Of the John
Philip Sousa Home would

authorized to raise funds
nationally for this purpose.

Lincoln are cases in point.
Congress, lacking a long
range plan to adequately
provide for tourists and con-
Stituents who visit Capitol
Hill by the millions each
year, has spent large sums
on restaurants and cafeterias
and then promptly reserved
them for members and en-
ployes. Even such a keen
observer as Senator Hubert
H. Humphrey recently was
moved to observe, in a May
"a, 1861 speech on the Sen
ate floor, that: "It is very
difficult for tourists to find
in and around the Capitol
adequate places where they
can eat and rest" If the
Congress can appropriate
funds to renew the South
west sector of Washington
it can use the same tech
niques to renew Historic

The Time Is Now

I resent the implication of
The Star editorial of July 2,
The Time Is Now" that
only some ignorant or Red
inspired people may object"
to renewed nuclear testing by
the United States.
1t does appear that recent
Russian demands have de-
Stroyed hope Of an inspect
able test-ban treaty in the
near future, but I fail to see
why we should be in such a
hurry to add to our already
deadly arsenal even If the
French, the Russians, the
Chinese, and heaven knows
who else are fools enough
to do so.
It is simply not true that
we can protect the peace"
or insure "our existence as
a free Nation" by stepping
up the arms race. We are
going to have to find a way
out Of it, for it is most as
Suredly one race which no
one can win. Inadequate as
it is, the nuclear test mora
torium at present represents
the only concrete step man
kind has taken on the way
out. To abandon it is to
abandon the only existing
check on our needless course
toward extinction.

THE PASSING SCENE
No Place Too Far Off to Affect Us
BY RALPH McGILL

When a threat against the
Sheik of Kuwait by the Pre-
mier of 1raq can bring out
flattops with pilots in the
ready-room, it is a time for
philosophers.
We have one handy. At a
recent discussion of social
evolution, Prof. Hallock Hoff-
man, Of the Center for the
Study Of Democratic Institu-
tions, laid down this premise
of our time:
mo place is remote and
no idea is really foreign"
1t was not too long ago
that hostile threats by a car,
for example, concerned few
other than the British. They
took care of it by Tightening
the defenSes at the Khyber
Pass and sending an extra
battleship or so up around
the DardanelleS.
But today, as the philoSo-
pliers note, transportation
and communication make al
most instantaneous our in
tercourse with vast territori-
tories and varied systems of
ideas. We have learned this,
for example, by uncomfort-
able contacts with the ideas
Of Mr.. Khrushchev, Mr..
Nasser, with Mao Tse-tung,
the Reds in Laos, and so on.
The list is really quite long.
Nor is this all.
This fact of instantaneous
communication with vast ter
ritories and varied systems Of
ideas, says Prof. Hoffman,
causes our politics to seem
empty.
1T is" he said, "a char
acteriStic Of our age that we
know that public pronounce
mentS do not mean what
they say. I believe" he con-
tinued. "this is not the re-
suit Of any determination on
the part of public leaders to
tell lies, but rather our in
ability to make truths big
enough to cover what we are
exposed to. Suddenly,
and in respect to an enor-
nous number of affecting
matters, the conditions Of
our lives are determined al
most entirely by men we
never see. :"
Far Places Affect Us
That this is true, alas, we
were all aware.
Few of us have seen Mao
TSe-tung, the Communists
in Laos, Wet Nam, North
Korea, and those of closer
geographic areas. But they
affect us.
We recently saw AmbaSSa-
dor Adlai Stevenson grapple
with the attempt to make a
truth big enough to cover
what we are exposed to in
Latin America. He said, for
example, that in all but one
or two South American
countries there did not exist
Evening star., 1961-07-12

an economic base which
could now enable that coun-
try to raise the average per
capita income from 500 to
$3.50.
That is a big truth-but
it isn't big enough to cover
all we are exposed to. 1t
does not reveal, really, how
this situation becomes a po-
litical and social vacuum
which communism can, and
will, exploit unless we can
help the governments there
create the necessary base.
Even SO, it isn't big enough
to explain, or fully reveal to
understanding, the very seri-
GUS, perhaps critical. prob
lem to which we are tn
exorably exposed.
Not only do our institu-
tions, like our populations,
grow larger. We also are ac-
cumulating technical in
formation at a great rate.
We are becoming data rich"
The technology and indus
trialization this information
is bringing come at a con-
tinually accelerated rate.
Must Change Ideas
This is not without effect.
Until perhaps so or rs
years ago." says Prof. Hoff-
man, "men were correct in be-
lieving their grandSonS could
get along with the same ideas
they had themselves. Now,
every man in his own lifetime
must expect to change his
own ideas and must, in addi-
ton, add greatly to his infor-
nation merely to maintain
his position in his social
world.
"The rate Of change" he
said, "has multiplied beyond
our comprehension, and the
demand for decisions has
multiplied along with it. In
Lincoln'S generation, plan
ners could wait for problems
to arise, make plans to deal
with them, and, within rea-
son, anticipate their plans
would serve their children, or
perhaps, even, more than one
generation. :"
Now, we must anticipate
problems that have not yet
arisen and solve them before
we reach them if our
plans are to do us any good
for the moment"
The philosophers say that
these new constraints upon
mankind require that men
themselves be made over"
They are forced to think-if
they think at all-of their
problems as worldwide, and
are, therefore, made aware
of a common humanity.
Every man must indeed
expect to add to his informa-
ton and must expect to
change his ideas to meet new
conditions.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Animal Organ Transplant Possible
By THOMAS R. HENRY

Transplantation of organs,
or parts Of organs, from one
animal to another now is pos
sible.
This has just been reported
by the Atomic Energy Com
mission, following experiments
at its Argonne Cancer Re-
search Hospital at the Uni
versity of Chicago. The work
of rebuilding men is probably
in some distant future, for
there still is a long way to go
before transportation be-
comes practical.
Up to now it has been
about given up as hopeless.
The tissue of one individual
does not accept foreign It's
sue"-that is, the tissue Of
another individual except, in
some cases, that of an identi-
cal twin. This is known as
the immune reaction" The
laboratory findings. as re-
ported by the Commission,
are that irradiation of the
body tends to weaken greatly
and even destroy this reac-
ton.
Every day doctors encoun-
ter patients, both young and
old, who generally are healthy,
but are doomed as a result of
disease in a particular organ
or organ system. Life could
be prolonged indefinitely if
that organ could be replaced
with healthy tissue. But the
physician only can shake his
head. The hope is futile-at
least it always has been.
Backward Approach
The Argonne doctors have
inoculated bits of human
and mouse tissues into new
born rats. These tissues have
been both normal and can
cerouS. None of these will
grow in the adult rat, but
four mouse tumors have
taken in infant rats, have
grown progressively, and fl
nally killed their hosts. Ap-
parently the immune reaction
develops after birth and is
not something brought into
the world with the individual.
This, of course, is going at
the problem backwards
tranSplanting something that
kills, not cures. But it is a
beginning. Means of over
coming the immune reaction
in adults must be found be-
fore large scale clinical eX-
Fermentation will be possible.
The Argonne experimenters
have dealt especially with the
highly practical field of It's
sue transportation to over
come some effects of over
radiation which may be fatal.
One result of the experiments
has been the finding that
massive irradiation of mice
in some way knocks out the
immune mechanism against
implantation of bone marrow.
Red blood cells are formed
in the marrow. The replace
ment is vital in cases where
great numbers of red cells
have been destroyed by irrad-
iation. In the experiments,
in some cases, rat bone mar
row transplanted into mice
was able to recolonize the
body Of q mouse with red
Evening star., 1961-07-12

cells, and thus save its life
from acute radiation death.
Preservation and Stockpil-
ing of bone marrow from hui
man donors to be used in
case of a radiation accident,
the report predicts, may be
an ultimate development Of
this line of research. There
have been successful results
in preservation of animal
bone marrow by quick freez-
ing in liquid nitrogen.
The immune mechanism
can be restored fully by in
jecting lymph cells from
blood, the experimenterS have
found.
"a vast amount of re-
search" says the report" has
been undertaken to determine
whether any specialized cir
cumstances will make pos
sible transportation of It's
sues. An animal saved from
lethal irradiation by infusion
the naturally existing, genet
ically determined immuno-
will accept skin and other
CRAFTS from this donor strain.
Secondary Disease r.
"If an animal is injected
in early life with cells from
a foreign donor, various It's
sues from that donor may be
grated onto this host far
into adult life. This and other
experimental approaches
have succeeded in breaking
the naturally existing, gene
tically determined immuno-
logical barriers.
THE initial success has
been dampened, however. by
the fact that the host animal
frequently deteriorates after
being supplied with foreign
bone marrow and often dies
within a few weeks or
months. This phenomenon
of the wasting that follows
apparent successful trans
plantation is variously called
secondary disease. or parabi-
otic intoxication."
Admittedly the Argonne
workers are exploring a far
frontier of medicine, with
little idea at present Of what
may be found.

@. What is lager beer?-
LIE.
A. Lager beer is a SPAR
king, effervescent, fermented
beverage Of light amber to
dark color. 1t is brewed prin-
cipally from barley malt,
prepared cereals like corn or
rice, and hops and water.
The resulting brew or wort
is fermented by yeast and
then stored in refrigerated
cellars for Sedimentation.
The beer is finished for
packaging by carbonation
and filtration. The term lag
er" itself is derived from the
German verb "lagern" and
means to stock, to store.
Therefore. all present beer is
actually lager beer.

business in Portland, Ore. Father loved to
eat, he loved to cook, and wherever he trav.
eled and sampled exotic dishes in hotels and
restaurants, he brought home recipes. Marian

economics as a career. 1t was soon dis
covered that she had real fair for textile
design. When she graduated her first job
was to head the textile and clothing depart
ment of the University Of North Dakota, an
unheard of job for one so young. Marian
held the job for FIVE years.
She was first to do fashion scouting by
camera. During summer vacations she trav-
eled wherever fashion set trends. Her cam
era went along. Today her photographs are
used in fashion magazines and store fashion
displays. She is still fashion scouting to
Mexico, to Italy, to France.
But wherever she travels she collects
both recipes and friends. She is born col

(AP)-The scrimmaging on
the field at the Tennessee-Ala-

nothing compared with the

was unsafe for occupancy.
The decision that a new g.

came on the eve of the big
game.
The startling development
put a damper on Birmingham's
plans for its biggest football
crowd in history-more than
$4,000.
The handsome new deck was
ruled limits for safety's
sake.
But city officials said they
still hoped to pack $1,000
record-into the stadium by
putting the misplaced fans on
boards laid across aisles and
on special chairs.
The temporary seats, about
5000 Of them, were put in by
workmen summoned to an all

every other aisle. Volunteers
