Muddy Falls is the higher of the two. Its
waters, brown from the vegetation of the
GAINESVILLE Swamp, where it rises, drop 20
feet in their rush through the park Swallow
Falls, which gives its name to the park, is on
the YoughiOgheny, and in turn was named
for the cliff swallows that once neSted on
the rocks about the falls.
The GAINESVILLE Swamp, which strad-
dies the Maryland-West Virginia border a
mile west of Swallow Falls Park, is itself an
important botanical and biological area.
Known by scientists as a "relict" colony,
it is small area high in the mountains
where northern plant and animal species
were left after the retreating glaciers. 1t
dates back to the Pleistocene age, when ice
crept down from the polar regions to cover
much of the northern United States.
The GAINESVILLE Swamp will be pre-
served as biological and botanical study
area. The 56Oacre swamp has been pur-
chased by Nature COnServancy, a national
organization, and will be used by students
from colleges and universities in Maryland,
Virginia, West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
Scientists explain that when the gla-
cierS retreated in the face of a warming
trend, the northern forest advanced north.
ward again to where it is found today
However because of unusual cOndi-
tons. small portion of the northern forest
remained in the GAINESVILLE Swamp area
In this relict colony is found the southern
most stand of eastern Iarch. or tamarack,
in the United States.
Here also are found northern plants.
such as the marsh shield fern, marsh mari
gold, cotton grass, golden saxifrage, sun
dew, cranberry, bog gOldenrOd, American
hellebore. sphagnum moss, dwarf nornel
and creeping snOwberry.
Among northern animal species are the
snowshOe rabbit, gray and red squirrels,
Canadian white-fOOted mouse, clOudland
deer mouse, jumping mouse, the water
shrew and the northern soOty shrew

Among fish you'll find the western
blackmOuth dace and the northern creek
club, and, scientists believe, maybe the
Canadian lOngnose sucker
Scientists say cold, moist conditions in
GAINESVILLE Swamp, caused by high eleva
ton, a frost pocket and poor drainage, made
possible the survival of northern species in
the southern region. The swamp, they say,
will be maintained, not as a collection area,
but as living laboratory in the study of
botany, biology, geology and perhaps
forestry.
The virgin forest in Swallow Falls Park
is something of living laboratory, too 1t is
under the care of the Maryland Department
of Forests and Parks and is considered
true record of the past.
Nothing has been allowed to detract
from the natural beauty of the giant trees.
There are no signs, and paths are rustic out
lines of walks through the forest. Every
effort is made to let the forest age naturally
and to encourage younger trees to spring up
to replace fallen giants.
HemlOcks, foreSters say. age from the
top down. First, forest giant will get bald
at the top and then die gradually from the
top down. Dead trees are covered by moss,
and the wood becomes heavy with water.
Entering the forest is like entering a
great cathedral. All is stiffness, except for
the soft murmuring of the wind among the
high branches, On rainy day. the rain
Seeps into the forest like a mist
If you stand quietly within the forest
you may hear birds singing at its edge, and
perhaps see deer on its way to drink from
Muddy Creek.
There are picnic facilities in the forest
but campers are not allowed to build fires
The sun trickles through the lofty branches
at midday, and dusk settles over the forest
by S o'clock in the afternoon.
And then, on the banks of Muddy Creek
you may hear the splash of trout as he
leaps clear Of the water to take fly.

Despite all the fun, many Presidential children

Kennedy Talk With Soviet Editor

argument which will be
surely given weight by the
Russian people SO as to tend
to offset the points made
by the President.
In the version made avail
able to most Russians in
their newspapers and over
their radio, President Ken
nedy's statements were de-
liberately distorted and some
were omitted entirely in sum-
maries that were used pri-
marily to attack the policies
of the United States. So it
is a question how much
constructive good inside the
Soviet Union was accom-
plished by the interview
itself.
Likewise, the incident can
be played up in the Soviet
Union to show that what's at
issue is just a simple matter
of theology. Mr.. Kennedy
spoke, for instance, Of the
right of each country to its
own system, and decried Rus
sia's attempt to "communize,
in a sense, the entire world"
The Russian editor chimed in
with the argument that it
was just a matter of differ
ing systems.
But is it? Not a word was
spoken by the President
about the sending of Russian
arms and equipment to Cuba,
the stationing of Russian
agents in every Latin-Ameri-
ican country to stir up revo-
lutions there, and the use Of
subversive tactics by the
Communists in Africa as well
as in Southeast Asia.
Mr.. Kennedy was polite,
restrained and dignified. But
the words of the Russian
editor, who accused the
United States of interfering
in Cuba and in the affairs
of many countries in the
world" were not forcefully
refuted, and they now will be
listened to and accepted as
gospel inside the Soviet
Union. They will be reiter-
ated day after day.
1t would be much better
If America no longer minced
words and, by her own radio
broadcasts into Russia, told
the people there every day
the facts about the Soviet
governments crookedness, its
subversive operations, and
it's repressive measures in
Eastern Europe, as well as
its violation Of postwar
pledges-all of which have
resulted in a Communist
menace to the peace Of the
world.

The chances are multiply
ing that the StenniS subcom-

called muzzling of the mill
tary will be much more sober
and much less shrill than
originally appeared to be the
case.
They will, in the first
place, not start until Con-

means they must share the
stage with other news and
that influential senior Sena-
tors will be on hand with fire

1t is true that the late

Strom Thurmond of South

ferent in personality and in
respect for tradition. He is
especially responsive to the
elder statesmen among his

Senator Ster.nis is one.
1t appears also that Sena-
tor Thurmond has cooled off
somewhat on Gen. Edwin
Walker, whose cause he so
swiftly seconded. Both the
