amount of stupidity in learned people

Solemn Worninq'

There is no diSputing the timeliness
OF President Kennedys Solemn warn
Ing" to Moscow that any interference
with free access to West Berlin would
be an aggressive act" for the conse-
quences of which the Soviet government
would bear full responsibility.
The Russian note which brought
forth this warning was both threatful
and insulting. 1t spoke of unlawful
and impermissible" intervention in the
affairs OF West Berlin by West Ger
many. 1t accused the United States,
France and Britain of "connivance" in
this alleged interference. 1t charged
that the Western powers, taking advan-
tage OF the absence of control over air
communications" were using the air
corridors to transport spies, saboteurs,
etc. to West Berlin. 1t said that this
represents a fragrant breach" of the
agreement under which the air CORR
doris were set aside for the Western
powers, ION a temporary basis" to in
sure the needs of their military garri-
sons. Finally it demanded that the
United States, Eat present" discharging
occupation functions in West Berlin,
Immediately take measures TO put an
end to the unlawful and provocative"
activities of the Federal Republic of
Germany in West Berlin.
Clearly, it seems to us, this note
seeks to lay a foundation for Com
muniSt interference with travel in the
air corridors. Should this be attempted,
we assume that it will not be tolerated.
So 1t is we'll that the White House, in
addition to denying the Soviet allega-
tionS, has served its Solemn warning"
on Moscow. Mr.. Khrushchev, as he tries
to, cut down the Western position by
bits and pieces, should be made to
understand that an act of aggression
on his part will be met by countering
force. And we, in turn, must be pre-
pared and resolved to use force, what
ever the consequences, when the need
arises.

Electronic Highways? Pooh!

Secretary Hodges description of a
possible electronic highway. with re-
motely controlled automobiles rolling
along at 100 MPH while their drivers,
relieved of all responsibility, relax at
their steering wheels, reminds us of a
scene re-enacted almost every afternoon
here in Washington during the rush
hour.
The scene involves the grandpoppa
OF. all traffic jams, in which all drivers
sit relaxed at their steering wheels
because there is nothing else they can
do. There is no speed. There is not
even movement. The picture is one of
still life-of motion in suspense.
The events leading up to this
repeated tragedy are these: Passenger
automobiles proceeding west on indie
pendence avenue S.W., finally are
Srnothered by competition for road space
waged by an unbroken line of those
terrifying leviathans of the highway,
the interstate trailer trucks. Ruthless,
domineering, irresistible, they come
roaring south down Third street S.W.
Rudely belching black smoke from their
dieSelS, they turn west into Independ-
ence avenue via a brief section Of
Maryland avenue. They seize indie
pendence avenue to the exclusion of
everything else until they reach Mary
land avenue again, then in two lines
turn left in their progress toward the
Fourteenth street bridge approaches.
The approaches to the bridge then
become clogged, Maryland avenue be-
comes clogged, independence avenue
becomes clogged, the western side of
Third street becomes clogged. Every
thing stops. Nothing moves.
Why the traffic authorities permit
this to happen, day after day, is a
greater mystery than Secretary Hodges
electronic highway Of the future. We
wish he would call off his studies of
that highway and direct his electronic
geniuSes to a study of Independence
avenue during the afternoon rush hour
Maybe they could do something-and
do 1t now, not in some indefinite future.

Quodros Under Fire

AS result of his curious flirtationS
with Fidel Castro'S Cuba and the Com
muniSt world at large, President QuadroS
Of Brazil now seems to be in domestic
political hot water of a sort that could
be harmful to him and to his country
At any rate, one of his strongest and
most influential supporters in the
paSt-Governor Carlos Lacerda of the
State of Guanabara - has publicly
threatened to resign from office and do
battle against him.
This is news of more than a little
Importance. For Mr.. Lacerda-a vigor-
Gus, able and popular leader who wants
no part of Castroism or Red totalitari-
aniSm in any form-iS responsible for
the fact that his Conservative National
Democratic Party was the chief sup
porter of Mr.. QuadroS in the latter'S
electoral victory last year. Today, how
ever, both Mr.. Lacerda and the party
are making clear that they very much
dislike the way the new President is
acting after having campaigned on
clearcut anti-CommuniSt platform.
What has aroused Mr.. Lacerda and
his followers is the fact that Mr.
Quadros-deSpite his campaign talk
against the RedS-haS been rather too
ardently counting both the Soviet Union
and Communist China ever since as
Stunning office. More than that, these
people have been particularly shocked
by his strange and ostentatious- to
them rageous-decision and con-
duct in pinning Brazil's highest medal
of honor on ErneSto Guevara, CastroS
utterly sinister, utterly anti-American,
utterly pro-Red economic adviser.
Mr.. Lacerda has left no room for
doubt as to how he feels. Addressing a
convention of trade unions-which gave
him a standing ovation after his
speech-he has bluntly declared that
he is ready to take to the streets and
fight rather than allow the "hopes of
the Brazilian people to be frustrated or
detoured by policy of successive
capitulations to Communist tyrannies."
Possibly this is mere rhetoric, but it
seems to have the ring of angry con-
viction in it, and all friends of inter
American freedom, cooperation and
progress must hope that Mr. Quadros
is listening.

FreeIoodinq and Relief

A definite preoccupation with rising
costs OF public welfare by Senator
Robert G. Byrd of West Virginia, serving
his first term as chairman of the Sen
ate Subcommittee on District Appro-
priationS, has hit some pay dirt. He
was able to elicit specific suggestions
from Public Welfare Director Shea for
substantial cuts below public relief totals
approved by the House, together with
Acknowledgements from Mr.. Shea and
the Commissioners that the reductions
were justified. The reductions would
have been even more gratifying had
they been initiated by the District
Building before, rather than after,
Senator Byrds prodding.
Aside from the actual savings, Mr..
Shea offered the prospect of closer
scrutiny Of subsequent welfare budgets.
That is important Public relief in
Washington is far from picayune. About
$4,000 cases on relief rolls represent
some $4,000 individuals who benefit
from close to $40 million annually in
relief checks. One of the most hopeless
aspects of public relief is it's continuous
upward rise in costs.
Much generalized-but far from
Specific-teStimony during the hearings
reflected what seems to have become
a generally accepted notion, here and
around the country, that the relief rolls
are padded with chiSelers and free
leaders. This notion may be exag-
gerated. There seems to be a singular
lack of precise information on the sub
ject. One reason for that may be the
heavy case load assigned to welfare
workers, amounting to about 1870 cases
per worker. Normal case work here is
by staff of only eighteen investigators,
under two supervisors. Such a policing
force, regardless of zeal, is obviously
inadequate, and one of the benefits of
Senator Byrd'S study of the situation
may have been his apparent conviction
that the policing of public welfare
requires more personnel than is now
available.
ChiSeling or freeloading may be as
serious problem as public opinion
believes 1t to be. 1t would not be sur
prising, however, if the relief admins
traitors, in their>daily contact with the
bleakly tragic circumstances which
swell the relief rolls, fail to attach to
occasional discoveries of fraud the
significance which critics are quick to
find and which Smears public relief
almost everywhere with suspicion.
There is merit in the Washington Urban
Leagues suggestion that some outside
agency be retained to make a spot
check of relief recipients in carefully
organized attempt to determine the
extent of fraud. The mere size of the
relief rolls is in itself severe enough
indictment, without adding to it the
possibly unjuStified lack of public con-
fidence in its administration.

Pharmacy Controls

On August 8, The Evening
Star carried a very remark
able story by William Grigg
regarding the recovery of
Buddy Cox from injuries to
his liver suffered three weeks
previously in an automobile
accident.
Some reports of this in
cident indicated that physi-
clans at Children's Hospital
were successful in packing
Buddy's liver with Gelfoam,
a product developed and pa
tented by the Upjohn Co., a
leading pharmaceutical man.
ufacturer. My purpose in
writing to you is to point out
something of an ironic ma
ture: there is pending before
the Senate Antitrust and Mo-
nopoly Subcommittee a bill
introduced by Senator Kefau-
er which would subject the
pharmaceutical industry to
severe Federal Government
supervision and, among other
things, deprive the industry
for all intents and purposes of
the 17-year patent protection
available to all others. I'm
der such a law, it may be en-
tirely possible that no firm
could gamble the tremend-
GUS resources that went into
the discovery and develop
ment of a product such as
Gelfoam without hope of re-
covering its investment.
In other words, it is highly
speculative whether under a
system such as the one pro-
posed Buddy Cox's life would
have been saved.

WATCHING THE WORLD
Are Berlin Detectives Negotiable?
By CROSBY S. NOY


signed and sealed before the
end Of September.
1t is time, perhaps, to face
up frankly to what the real
Western detectives are in
Berlin, what Mr.. Khrushchev's
real detectives are and
whether or not these objec-
tives can be compounded in
an agreement acceptable to
both sides. If they can be,
then a negotiation on Berlin
is both possible and desir-
able. If they cannot be, there
is no point in pretending
that negotiation provides a
way of avoiding an ultimate
showdown.
Differences Among Allies
On these questions there
still are wide differences Of
honest opinion among the
allies. Certainly, the prospects
for a successful settlement
on Berlin have not been i'm
proved by the latest Russian
notes, which for the first
time openly threaten OBJ
struction of Western air cor
ridors linking Berlin to West
Germany. But there still are
many who would argue with
a good deal of conviction
that the real detectives Of
the West and the Soviet
Union in Berlin are not nee
esSarily incompatible.
So far as the West Is con-
cerned, these detectives are
modest enough. What Is
sought is simply a reaffirma-
ton Of the status of West
Berlin as separate from East
Germany and of the Allied
position there, along with
unhampered rights of access
by the Allies and West Ger
mans alike. So far as Russia
is concerned, the detectives
must be more tentatively
defined. But they include
certainly formal conservation
of a permanent division of
Germany through some kind
of recognition Of East Ger
many and its present from
tiers.
Despite current evidence,
there may be something to
the idea that negotiation
within the framework of
these detectives is not i'm
possible. There may be merit
in the argument that now
the major problem Of the
East German refugees has
been eliminated by closing
Of the Berlin borders, q set
Element may be more easily
reached. At least, in simple
logic, a deal in which each
side makes important con-
ceSSions in return for i'm
portant rewards Is not out
of the question.
And yet, If any such deal
Is possible or desirable it has
most certainly not been so
much as mentioned so far
by any responsible leader in
any Western country. Debate
over the deSirability Of neg
citations on Berlin is being
carried on in an intellectual
vacuum, into which the reali-
ties Of the problem are not
allowed to enter. And de-
ciSions Of major Importance
seemingly are made with
out any real thought given
as to where they may lead.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Progress in Early Cancer Detection
By THOMAS r. HENRY

Scopic study Of removed brain
tissue confirmed the dag
noSiS. 1t hardly could have
been made so early in any
other way.
Several laboratories now
are using a newly available
radioactive iSotope of cal
cium for study of bone phys
iology. Some possible uses
include studies of malignant
tumorS with bone involve
ment and diseases of the
parathyroid glands. High
counts at sites of bone me-
taStases (random spreading
Of cancer cellS) have been re-
ported following use OF this
isotope. They have not, how
ever, been fully explored. It
also can be used to follow the
efficiency of medical treat
ment of malignant tumors
involving bone LESSONS, as in
treatment of cancer Of the
breast that has metastacized
to bone. A great deal of fur
Their information is expected
to result when more of the
radioactive form of calcium
becomes available.
RadiOactivity Guided
All this involves producing
radioactivity in specific parts
OF the body. Studies are be-
ing carried out at the Oak
Ridge laboratory on the eff
fects Of radiation of the
whole body on the two wide
ly prevalent blood diseases,
leukemia and polycythemia.
In the one case there are too
many, too rapidly proliferat-
ing white blood cells, in the
other too many red blood
cells. Leukemia is the most
prevalent. One treatment
has been transportation into
victims of bone marrow,
which produces red cells.
Some apparent remiSsions
have resulted. Temporary re-
missions also have resulted
from brief, intensive whole
body radiation.
This, says the commissions
report, offers possibilities for
basic discoveries about leu
kemia, and explains some re-
missions previously believed
to have resulted from sue
cessful transportation Of
bone marrow, which is some
what questionable.
