For Fair Play

Few of us are innocent Of
racial discrimination and
prejudice. Gino SINH, head
of the D. C. apprenticeship
training program, comes close
to being one of these few.
For almost two decades,
Mr.. SINH has worked with To-
cal labor and management
groups. He has fought, where
he found it, this same pref
udice of which he now stands
unjustly accused. Under his
guidance, a Negro was first
apprenticed in a local union.
Actually, Mr.. SINH needs
no witnesses Though I'm sure
there are many. His record
speaks for itself.
Without delving into the
logic behind Congressman
Powell'S charge, let's look at
his record. Tax scandals, re-
ported nepotism are blasts
that would have withered an
other politician.

Turn to Right

The sudden upsurge Of pa
triotiSm and conservatism in
America has UNDERSTANDABLE
caught our liberals COM
pletely off guard. Who would
think that something like
this could happen in a semi
socialist welfare state? But
our liberals, never at a loss
for words for very long, have
gone forth to meet this chal-
lenge with everything they've
got. Nevertheless, the con-
sentative influence continues
to grow. Why?
At least part of the answer
is that liberals continue to
use the same old ClicheS to
combat the right wing. They
tell us that the conservatives
"overSimplify" the great is
sues of our time. To believe
that the Communists are
truly out to conquer the en-
tire world; to believe that a
system of private enterprise
can work better than our
present Semi-SocialiSt Sys-
tenn; to believe that local
governments can solve local
problems better than the Fed
eral Government; all this and
more, we are informed, mere
ly oversimplifieS matters.
What our liberals are really
saying is that most issues are
too complicated for the aver
age American to understand.
But more and more Amer
leans are beginning to real
ize that this charge is merely
a cover-up for the liberals,
who are trying to hide their
past failures in anv way pos
sible. These leftists fervently
hope that by making the
problem seem more COM
pick" than it really is, per-
haps the people will excuse
them for not acting or for
their fumbling, when they do
act. However, the American
people are wishing up" to this
Sneaky tactic. Disguised with
the liberals, they turn to-
wards conservatism.
Of course, the leftists still
have a whole array of cliches
to hurl at rightistS. Conserva-
tives are, among other things,
"reactionaries," isolation
iSts," "warmongers," "neo-
Fascists," ''raciSts," "Old
Guard" anti labor"
"Witch-hunters, " Mccarthy
ties" ct cetera ad nauSeum
But the liberals who use
these phrases seldom, if ever,
try to substantiate these
charges. People are seeing
that such attacks really
amount to "McCarthyism of
the left"
No wonder the ranks Of the
conservatives grow bigger
every day!

Rejects School Plan

AS a parent OF i've SCHOOL,
age children it is my wish to
go on record voicing my
strong opposition to the pro-
posed Montgomery County
1874 school plan E. II weeks
in session, 4 weeks out.
The 1874 school plan not
only affects the children but
also raises serious questions
concerning the home life of
the entire family. America
will be only as strong as the
home. Desirable family and
community relationships can
not be developed If the home
becomes a place where ones
activities are composed only
of sleeping and packing
school lunches.
1t has been said that
schedules will be made that
will enable all children Of a
family to be in and out Of
school at the same time. With
children attending three diff
ferent schools, this does not
seem feasible or possible.
I want nv children to OBJ
tain the very best education
possible but none Of the ar
guments for this plan appear
to be Improvements so far as
the child's welfare is con-
cerned.
The child needs the sum-
mer to live closely with his
family without the pressures
and tensions of school. He
needs the opportunity to
travel, play and pursue his
interests that a school can
not provide. Minds can be
stimulated in many benefit
cial ways other than in a
classroom situation.
The teacher needs a break
in the routine to travel, rest
and improve professionally.
If the opportunity for teach
ers to attend summer school
is not going to be available,
will they be going to school
at night.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Nixon Governor Race Expected
By GOULD LINCOLN

Democratic, he would be in
position to seek and win the
1864 presidential nomination
for Gov. Rockefeller pre-
Sumably would be politically
dead. But all signs point now
to a Rockefeller reelection.
Mr.. Nixon's decision has
been promised his advisers
"by September IS" The pres
sure on him to run next year
for Governor grew this week,
when he came to Washing
ton to consult with Republi-
can congressional and ma
tional leaders and former
President Eisenhower. Most
of them advised him to get
into the gubernatorial race,
and promised him every
assistance.
Could be Recalled"
Also, these same advisers
argued that if he became
Governor, it would not pre-
clude his making the race
for President in 1964-if
there were an honest desire
of the Republican Party to
have him for its candidate
and so expressed itself in
national convention. Even if
Mr.. Nixon said that, as can
didate for Governor, he in
tended to serve out a full
four-year term in that office
and he might be pressured
into such a statement by the
Democratic opposition - his
advisers argued that would
not be binding against a
clear call by the party.
California is a tough State
for the Republicans, in view
of the heavy Democratic reg
iStration. A million more
voters are registered as Dem
ocrats than as Republicans.
In spite of this advantage in
registration, however, the
G. o. P. has won many bat
ties in the State in recent
years. Indeed, Mr.. Nixon
carried it last November in
his race against President
Kennedy. That victory gives
the Republicans real hope
that Mr. Nixon could prevail
over Gov. Brown next year,
especially as the Governor
has lost considerable ground
with many voters.
The interest in Mr.. NiXon'S
future political plans has
mounted greatly and nation
ally during recent monthS-a
pretty good political buildup
in itself for a race for Gov
ernor His decision to an
nounce his plans at an early
date is wise for several rea-
sons. There are other Re
publiCanS in the State who
have shown strong liking for
the gubernatorial nominal
ton, among them Mayor
George Christopher of San
Francisco, and the Republi-
can legislative leader, Joseph
Schell, former Gov. Goodwin
Knight, and former 1t. Gov.
Harold Powers - who has
formally announced. If Mr..
Nixon declares for the nomi-
nation, he may take Mr..
Christopher for running
mate, if the San Franciscan
agrees.

No Get-Rich- Quick Trade

As statistics 60, an Increase Of 300
per cent of anything reads like lot
of increase. But as international trade
goes, a total of three weeks of export
licenses valued at 1928 million does not
represent a significant segment of an
overall export traffic that has been
running recently in the neighborhood
of $13 billion annually.
So it is that the issuance of licenses
for the shipping of the S628-million
worth of goods to Communist countries
of Eastern Europe in the three weeks

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Radiation Effect on Genetics Studied
By THOMAS r. HENRY

Atomic Energy Commission
biologists have started a
major search for factors in
fluencing the effects of in
creaSing radiation in his en-
vironment on man, per Sc.
After all, general effects
found with fruit flies, mice
or bacteria may not be en-
tirely applicable to the human
species, which is of great
est concern, for there have
been dire predictions of the
deterioration of the race. One
portion of this study is con-
cerned with the detrimental
role of gene changes in mod
ern society. Effects of in
breeding among children of
firSt-cousin marriages are
being especially observed.
Estimation of the number of
abnormal genes carried by
the average person already
has produced data that will
be useful in understanding
how selection acts on these
abnormal genes.
European Bison Used
1t is difficult, of course,
to use man as an expert
mental animal. This difficulty
is being sidestepped, to a
considerable degree, by work
on the European bison, an
animal with a population his
tory that seems quite similar
to the human.
The bison" says an Acc
report, has been useful in
corroborating the information
obtained from the study of
first cousins. Further infor-
nation on ZOO animals is
being sought for extension of
theories concerning mans
genetics.
"A second aspect of the
study of man is observation
of the genetic basis for nor
NAL variation in man. A sur
vey is currently in progress on
the relation between body
size and blood type, cor
relation which some have
claimed to observe. Research
also is under way to determine
the techniques which might
be most efficient in a mass
survey of individuals for
variety of normally varying
characteristics. 1t is hoped
that studies of this type will
result in discovery of more
genetically controlled proc
eSses in man"
Evidence will be sought
especially on whether genes
controlling these normally
varying characters are at all
influenced by natural selec-
ton.
Basic goal in these studies
Of human genetiCs," says the
report, lis determination of
the level at which mutation
and selection are balanced.
BY calulating the additional
burden of radiation induced
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-08-31

mutation on the process of
selection, the influence of
artificial radiation on the
future of man can be deter
mined with increasing preci-
sion and the effect of given
levels of artificial radiation
can be estimated"
II Il
Scattered through living
nature may be "antimuta-
gens"-agents of some sort
that act as a brake on hered-
itary mutations. Thus they
operate through centuries to
preserve the stability of races
and Species-to insure that
flies will remain flies and
elephants remain elephants.
They apply also to the human
species.
All plants and animals con-
Stantly are exposed to such
factors as natural radiation
such as coSmic rays and
ultraviolet light from the sun
whose effect is to change
their hereditary constitutions.
Atomic Energy Commission
scientists now are engaged
in an intensive search for
these antimutagenS, what
ever they may be. A group
headed by DR.. F. G. Funk
of the division of micro
biology and genetics believes
antimutagenS serve two es-
sential purpoSeS-either null
lifying or greatly mitigating
the genetic effects of such
agents as radiation, or reduc-
ing the frequency of spon-
taneouS mutations in cells
such as may be the cause of
cancer.
Bacteria Used in Tests
Their existence has been
suspected only quite recently.
At least tentative evidence of
their reality, however. has
been accumulated. Bacte-
ria are being used as the
experimental organisms. AS
a result of the tlrst years
work on the project a special
strain of these invisibly
minute organisms has been
isolated in which anti-muta-
genie influences can be de-
tected and measured. Up to
now, however, this applies
only to a single, specific mu-
tation.
When the bacterium is
grown in a suitable broth the
culture contains no mutantS,
since in it they neither can
grow or survive.
But when a broth suspen-
sion Of the organism is spread
over a solid medium of some
sort where there can be tran
sient limited growth, the
spontaneous mutants that
arise form large colonies.
Since all such mutations arise
only on the plate each colony
represents a mutation event
in an eXperimentally con-
tro.lable environment.

Inteqrotion Laws

A few years ago the pro-
fessed goal of the racial in
tegrationists was the right
of a few specially qualified
Negro children to attend pub
lie school with white children.
This did not seem too much
to ask. Today, however, it is
perfectly clear that these
same integrationists will
never settle for anything
short of complete white Ne
gro amalgamation in all
phases of our public and pri-
vate lives. If this change cam
not be brought about volun-
tarily. these extremists will
demand the full power of the
Federal Government to force
it upon us, at bayonet point
if necessary!
The Gallup polls have con-
SiStently shown that a large
majority of our population
is not in sympathy with COM
pulsory racial indignation.
Those who are white parents
would not willingly send their
own children to predominant
ly Negro schools, to be taught
by Negro teachers. Notwith-
standing this fact, integra-
zionist propaganda continues
to pour out ceaselessly
through every outlet of our
liberal-controlled communi-
cation media.
The cry of the integration-
lists is that compulsory race
mixing is the law" and that
all good citizens obey the law
without question or protest.
They ignore the fact that in
a democratic republic the
laws are made not by author
itarian judges, but by legis-
latorS who reflect the views
of the people they represent.
Our Congress has never
passed any law requiring "a
cial indignation in the schools
or anywhere else under State
control. Our Congress has
consistently refused to put
its stamp of approval on the
Supreme Court indignation
edict.

BewiIderinq at That

Inc INK on our agreement
to give Latin America $40
billion plus, in grants and
loans, was barely dry when
the following happened:
Cd Brazil made a banking
agreement with Communist
China; ~ British Guiana
overwhelmingly voted for
Communist leadership; 90
Chile became the scene of
strikes fomented by the
Communists including action
against the American-owned
copper mines which mean so
much to Chile's economy, and
a. BraZil's military bosses
are preparing, in a manner
similar to Communist tactics,
to take over or appoint a sue
essor to the president in
spite of the fact that their
constitution calls for the
moving up of the vice presi-
dent.
What else is forthcoming,
no one knows.
We are told that United
States financial grants to
Asia will encourage farming
and agricultural prosperity,
among other things; that
the farmers will be able to
buy hoes, rakes, spades and
plows.
A few minutes after we
hear this on the radio an
appeal comes over to ask
Americans to donate money
to let the people of Asia (and
the rest of the world have
money, by donations. to Sc
cure hoes, rakes, spades and
plowS.
1t is small wonder that
many of us are nightly be-
wildered!

Traffic Headaches

Your editorial about the
impossible traffic jams on In
dependence avenue where it
meets Maryland avenue in
Southwest omits the humor-
Gus aspects of the situation.
For example, the road used
to have four traffic lanes in
each direction, one lane COM
prising the street-car tracks,
but when the Street-cars
we're removed, the Highway
Department reduced the
passageway to three lanes in
each direction, one lane still
comprising the street-car
tracks. Also, the temporary"
exits from the Southwest
freeway, the construction of
which, at great expense, you
hailed some months ago,
will feed right into this mael-
strom. The center leg of the
inner loop, by the way. still
isn't given much priority in
the Districts plans.
The highway DOCTORS" as
you call them, are in a good
semi profession. Like other
doctors, they get paid even if
the patient dies. Even if the
patient wasn't sick to start
with.
Peter Glickert

You might have pointed
out in your editorial "Elec-
tronic Highways? Pooh!" that
the ruthless, domineering in
terstate trailer trucks with
their "belching black smoke
from their diesels" are a
menace not only in Washing
ton but in cities across the
country and if railroads took
over freight hauling it would
get them off the highways,
ease traffic, lessen air pollu-
ton, and in general benefit
suffering humanity-aS well
as the railroads!

Former Vice President
Richard NJ. Nixon almost
certainly will become the
Republican candidate 70 r
Governor of California next
year. The pressure on him to
do so has become greater and
greater as weeks have passed.
The logic of a decision to
run also is persuasive.
First, it would be to the
advantage of the Republican
Party. The G. o. P. leaders
feel a victory in California
next year, where Democratic
Gov. Pat Brown is virtually
certain to seek reelection,
would be a great psychology
ical boost for the party and
also, with Mr.. Nixon at the
head of the ticket, the Re-
publicans could make a bet
ter showing in the important
congressional races.
Second, it would be the
best political course for Mr..
Nixon personally, if he
wishes to step back into pub
lie life and is ambitious for
a second try for the PreSi-
dency. Admittedly, if he has
decided not to seek another
nomination for President
and wishes merely to con-
tinue the practice of law, he
may very we'll say that he
will not make the race for
Governor, but will do what
he can to aid Republican
candidates for office all over
the land. Everything that
Mr.. Nixon has done so far
seems to indicate that the
former Vice President has
not abandoned his desire for
a second presidential nomi-
nation-either in 1864 or
1868.
Should the Republicans
fail to carry California next
year, Mr.. Nixon probably
would be dead politically,
whether he was on the ticket
as a candidate for Governor
or not, so far as a presiden-
tial nomination in 1864 is
concerned. Since Mr.. Nixon
is obviously the strongest
candidate the Republicans
can put up for Governor, his
better chance for staying
alive politically would appear
to lie in a decision to make
the race.
Reasons to Stand Aside
On the other hand, some
of his advisers argue that if
he became Governor of Cali
fornia by beating Pat Brown
next year, he.could no longer
retain the position of titular
leader of the Republican
Party, and that he would
have to serve out his four
year term as Governor, since
there are tremendous prob
lens of State administration
and planning. Also, Mr..
Nixon might figure it better
to remain aloof from next
years struggle in California
with the thought that per-
haps Gov. Nelson A. Rookie
Teller of New York, who is
seeking reelection next year,
may be defeated. In that
case, even if California went
