DR.. Libby is soothing as al
ways in his Survival" Sc
ries. I am not surprised to
find him among those who
have made peace with the
idea of a nuclear war.
While he was at the Acc,
in an article which appeared
in the Christian Science
Monitor, he made Strontium
80 sound not only palatable
but almost beneficial. At a
meeting one night I asked
him how he could justify his
treatment of the subject. He
said, and I quote, Arsenic
is a poison too, and it is
even prescribed by doctors, in
small doses"
DR.. Libby's approach seems
not to have changed. His
$50 shelters sound no more
valid than his small doses
of Strontium 90.

Why with all the recent
discussion regarding survival
from a nuclear attack has no
high Government official seen
fit to emphasize to the Amer
lean people one obvious fact:
That although a fallout shell
ter will afford protection
from fallout as it's name i'm
plies, no protection can be
afforded In any conceivable
manner to one residing in
an obvious target area. This
would be a nations capital.
a major city, highly indus
trialized area. a base of mill
tary operations, or any area
which must be destroyed to
weaken the retaliatory fight
ing power of a nation. Rus
STA has already demonstrated
that she possesses the bombs
of necessary megaton capac-
ity to totally destroy these
target areas,
To my mind, your series by
DR.. Willard F. Libby is doing
a great deal of harm
in the Washington Metro
politan Area by leading the
unthinking to believe that a
fallout shelter will afford
them protection. Certainly,
Washington would be a tar
get area. To think otherwise
would be asinine. I wonder
If Presidential Adviser Frank
B. Ellis, who seems to think
that The Star is rendering a
service Of outstanding value
by publishing the Libby Sc
rieS, would care to remain in
Washington in a shelter of
DR.. Libby's design or any
design during a nuclear at
tack. DR.. Libby's $50 shelter
could not even survive a for
est fire!
1t is time the American
people we're told the obvious
truth in clear, concise Ian
guage. There is no protection
for those who are unfortu-
nate enough to be located in
a target area at the time
of attack. At least one-third
of the Nations population
would perish in such areas.
Then, as DR.. Libby estimates,

in a report issued by the
National Academy of Sci
enceS.
They are, Of course, very
minute "icebergs" indeed-or
rather water with an ice-like
structure. Even so they slow
down nerve transmission to
the point of Inconsistencies.
This thesis results, DR..
Miller reports. from the OBJ
servation that many of the
gases capable of mixing with
water, such as ethylene, nj
trous oxide and xenon, pro-
duce Inconsistencies when
administered to men or an
imals. Those incapable of
mixing with water do not.
Many Of the former, however,
are too toxic for use.
Gas Compounds
The aneSthetic substances;
he explains, appear to be
compounds of gas inclosed
in a distorted ice matric"-
that is, water in a close to
crystalline form regardless of
temperature. Most theories
of the structure of water,
he says, assume that ice-like
configurations of molecules
are present in liquid water.
They are present in body
water all the time and the
major function of the gas
anesthetic is to increase their
number. They slow down
nerve system reactions to the
point of prolonged uncon-
seriousness.
The "icebergs," he stresses,
produce general anesthesia.
They have nothing to do with
local anesthesia which is due
to quite different causes, now
generally understood by
Psychologists.

WSTAS IN SCIENCE
New Way of Detecting Body Parasites
By THOMAS R. HENRY

Rapid detection of blood
and tissue parasites of men
and animals is now possible
with a new straining tech
nique developed at the
Army's Walter Reed Institute
of Research.
A striking application of
the new technique has been
the demonstration, for the
first time. of certain strained
parasites in the circulating
blood Of dogs. Presence of a
disease known as canine
microfilariasis is thus con-
firfned. Expanded use of
sentry dogs and the posi-
bility of transmission of their
diseases to man makes rapid
detection and diagnosis in
these animals especially i'm
portant. Human parasites of
the same general family
cause the disease known as
elephantitis.
Wide Uses Seen
The new technique, accord
ing to the Walter Reed SCI
entists, promises to be useful
in studies on the effects of
drugs and other chemicals
on cells or on parasites. Pro-
longed direct microscopic OBJ
servations also are possible
with the technique, which
has facilitated especially OBJ
servationS of reactions of
white blood cells.
Because the method makes
possible the detection of
blood parasites at low magni-
fication, it may be applied
to large-scale field surveys
and archaeological studies
of disease.
Simplicity of the new tech
nique, it is believed, will have
special significance for the
vast population living in
areas where the scourge of
malaria still is epidemic.
Studies in the Army's Divi-
sion of Veterinary Medicine
in collaboration with the Ma
tional Institutes of Health
have proved the value of the
new technique as a tool for
study of living parasitic
protocol.

"Icebergs" in the blood
stream formed by various
gases may be the cause of
gaseous anesthesia.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Mccormack and the Speokership
By GOULD LINCOLN

bill, one Of Mr.. Kennedy's
pet measures. Mr.. McCor-
mack has wanted parochial
schools as well as public
schools to benefit from the
Federal aid proposed. And
finally it was suggested that
the President would oppose
Mr.. Mccormack for Speaker
because his youngest brother,
Edward. may become a can
didate for Senator next year
to fill the seat once occu-
pied by the President-and
Mr.. McCormack's nephew,
Edward Mccormack, also
may aspire to the Demo-
cratic nomination for that
office.
Dangerous Ground
me President has told his
press conference in the past
that the duty Of filling the
Speakership rests with the
House and he was sure that
the House would elect an able
man. That's as far as he has
gone publicly. Should any op-
position to Mr.. Mccormack
lead the President to use his
influence to elect-for ex-
ample, Mr.. Boiling of Mis-
souri-he would be treading
on dangerous ground. The
House Democrats might re-
sent strongly this interfer-
ence. They might even defeat
such a move by Mr.. Kennedy.
Mr.. Mccormack has been
Democratic floor leader or
Democratic whip for many
years. He is 70 years old but
vigorous-and Speaker Ray
burn was nearly 30 when he
died.
1t is true there has been
White House interference in
the selection of Speakers of
the House and party leaders
OF the Senate. The late Pres
tdent Franklin D. Roosevelt
threw his influence back of
the selection of the late Sen
ator and Vice President Alben
B arkley Of Kentucky for
Democratic leader of the Sen
ate, over the late Senator Pat
H arrison Of Mississippi.
Roosevelt won the battle
but. as one important party
leader recalled today, he lost
the war. 1t was shortly after
that the coalition Of Southern
Democrats and Republicans
began to operate. Mr.. Ken
nedy faces the same kind of
coalition in the House today.
Roosevelt's Supreme Court
bill was the first to 60 down
the drain.
Also any effort on the part
Of Mr.. Kennedy to block Mr..
Mccormack from the Speak
ership would cause real rue
tons among the Democrats
OF Massachusetts, where a
Governor and a Senator are
to be elected, and also an en-
tire delegation to the House.
next year. John Mccormack
has for years been in line for
the Speakership and he will
not relinquish his present OPP
portunity to reach a long
time goal. Further, on most
Of the Kennedy program -
perhaps all Of it except the
school bill-the President win
be able to count on his sup
port. He is a loyal party
Democrat. The fact that he
is a Catholic, like the Demo-
cratic leader Of the Senate.
and the President himself. is
not expected to count against
him now.
The Democratic floor lead
er Of the House also will be a
key figure in the coming ses-
sion of Congress. If precedent
is followed, this office will
go to Mr.. Albert Of Oklahoma.
If not, Mr.. Boiling might be
selected.

NIL OCAtAONA u1F DpCdkCl
Sam Rayburn Of Texas, has
died, as in the case Of Mr..
Republican" the late Senator
Bob Taft of Ohio, Republican
leader Of the Senate, at a
time when his support was
needed greatly by a new
administration in the White
House. Both died of the same
dread disease. Speaker Ray
burn, much beloved and ad-
mired for human qualities
and political abilities, for his
common sense and courage
and character, turned over
the duties of Speaker to Rep
resentative John Mccormack
Of Massachusetts,, Democratic
floor leader of the House,
weeks before his death. BY
precedent. long service and
party loyalty; Mr.. Mccormack
is entitled to the speakership.
His selection is believed Ger
tain when Congress returns
in January. The change
over should be easy-for
John Mccormack not only
well knows the duties of the
Speaker but has been per-
forming them since Mr..
Rayburn was compelled to
retire.
Mr.. Mccormack was elect
ed Speaker Pro Tempore
when Mr.. Rayburn went to
Texas on August 81. At the
same time the Democrats
chose Representative Carl
Albert of Oklahoma to take
Mr.. McCormack's post as
party floor leader. Mr.. Al
bert was Democratic whip.
The Speakership is an office
of tremendous power. Natur-
ally other members Of the
House have aspired to it
since 1t became evident that
Mr.. Rayburn would never
return to preside over the
House-which he had done
for II years, longer by far
than any other man in his
tory.
Speculation of Opposition
Among those mentioned for
the place was Representa-
tive Richard w. Boiling Of
Missouri. He has, indeed,
been considered an active
candidate for the Speaker
ship. He may still be. He is
As years old and is serving
his seventh term in the
House. He has backed lib
eral" legislation. In 1855 he
was appointed to the power
full Rules Committee, which
gives the "go" signal to meas
ures brought before the
House or turns thumbs down.
He aided Speaker Rayburn in
getting administration bills
before the House. Other
members of the House who
also have been mentioned for
the Speakership include Rep
resentative Hale Boggs of
Louisiana, Mr.. Albert of Ok
lahoma, Representative Carl
Elliott Of Alabama, Wilbur
Mills Of Arkansas and Albert
Raines Of Alabama.
Also there arose specula-
ton that President Kennedy,
who, like Mr.. Mccormack. is
from Massachusetts,, would
throw his influence against
the selection of Mr.. McCor-
mack Tor Speaker. Mention
was made of the fact that Mr..
Kennedy supported Adlai
Stevenson for a second pres
idential nomination early in
1860 and Mr.. Mccormack op-
posed Mr.. Stevenson. Mr..
Kennedy, then Senator, won
political control in the State.
In addition, at the White
House Mr.. Mccormack has
been criticized because of his
stand on the Federal school
