Star staff Writer

Senator Proxmire. Democrat
of Wisconsin, entertained his
colleagues yesterday with a let
ter from a constituent, suggest
ing that the New Frontier
ought to do something to make
life easier for the penguins in
the Antarctic.
The Senator offered the let
ter as a satire on the scope
of Government spending. But
Senator Maureen Neuberger,
Democrat of Oregon, took the
floor to show that the Gov
ernment has, in fact, gone TO
the aid of suffering penguinS
in the past.
The Plight Of The Male
The writer Of the letter re-
counted the hardships endured
by male penguinS which go
without food or water for 60
days while they incubate the
eggs Of the females.
How can we, living in con-
siderable luxury, ignore the
plight of this majestic being?"
said the letter writer. cant
we start q modest program to
relieve the suffering and hunger
of these poor dwellers Of the
south?
"I propose we start slowly
and merely put grain feeders
close to the nesting birds. This
will get them accustomed to a
perpetual handout from the cit
izens of this great land.
Cold War Aspect to It
Later, as conditions permit,
we can install heated shelters
for the birds and include COM
Portable padded nests so they
won't need to hold the egg for
go days. Naturally, the birds
may protest some, but then we
shall have to insist on certain
reforms in return for all this
aid. After all, we New From
tier thinkers know how to run
their affairs better than they
do"
The author said this would
reduce the surplus crops and
enable this country to claim
a first in this vital area" I"

President Kennedy says the
Nation must revise its immi-

ito the tasks we face in con-
nection with every aspect OF
our rapidly changing world. P"
"Our immigration programs
must be free from any taint OF
racism or discrimination" he
said in a message read last
night at a meeting Of 300 rep
resentatives of private and vol
untary agencies in the immi-

tions in Asia and Africa, the
assumption of power by totali-
tartan tyranny, the cries for
assistance when disaster
strikes, all call for the best in
our American traditions" Mr.

CONSTANTINE BROWN 1 i. ~, -
U.S.. Foreign Policy Under Focus

1946, and for a few years
thereafter.
What of today? The
Federal Republic of Ger
many is one of the richest
nations in the world. From
the rubble of disaster and
despair, Germany has be-
come a world power of tre-
mendous wealth, of pro-
ductivity, of promise. And
geographical and political
realities being immutable,
West Germany and increas-
ingly France have at the
same time become the real
leading power in Western
Europe.
In effect, therefore, the
United States no longer en-
joys (if that is the proper
term) the unquestioned
leadership of the free world.
Recovered Western Europe
can and will challenge
American leadership when
ever it wishes.
Thus we can already see,
in the Kennedy admins
tration, a foreign policy
role that must of necessity
bend in the breezes that
blow from London, Paris
and Bonn. But baSically
the policy is not likely to be
significantly different from
that prevailing over the
past 10 or more years.
Probably the relationship
between Secretary Rusk and
Ambassador to the United
Nations Adlai Stevenson
will be the first place where
friction in matters of basic
policy will be discernible
Mr.. Stevenson enjoys the
prestige of second place in
President Kennedy'S cabi-
net. His ideas on foreign
policy are positive and very
artieulately presented. But
they are not always identi-
cal with Mr.. Rusk's, and
sooner or later there will be
policy showdown.

The Laotian crisis has
focused the worlds atten-
ton once more on the United
States foreign policy.
The Kennedy adminiStra-
tion has not yet been.i in con-
troll of the Nations pilot
house long enough to estab-
lish a definite pattern of po-
Icy in the field of interna-
tional affairs. But there are
signs and portents enough,
after some two months of
stewardship. to be considered
reliable indications of things
to come.
Secretary of State Dean
Rusk already has made it
clear that in certain aspects,
at least insofar as the Far
East and the Middle East are
concerned, the foreign policy
of the United States is not
about to be draStically re-
vised. There will be modi-
fications, of course. That
would be considered routine
in any change of adminiStra-
tion, even if the new bosses
were of the same party as
the old. There were changes
in emphasis when Christian
Herter took over from the
firm and dedicated hands of
John Foster Dulles.
The same thing appears to
be the case in the switch
from Presidents Eisenhower
to Kennedy. Secretary Rusk
has jettisoned few of the
basic aspects of the Dulles
foreign policy. He clings to
the basic framework. at the
same time introducing con-
siderably more flexibility and.

Physicist Says Only Human Values,
Not Scientific, Can Pull Us Through
RALPH McGHL

DR.. Polykarp Kusch, one Of
Americas distinguished win
ners Of the Nobel Prize Ia
physics, gently removed one
of our most comforting psy-
Geological crutches in a re-
ent talk with newspapermen
at Columbia University.
The crutch is tn e belief
that, somehow or other, Sci
ence will see us through.
Not so, says Dr.. Kusch.
Man must see : himself
through.
"The crucial issues of this
time" he said, "are not
strongly related to the dis
covery of new scientific
knowledge and the elabora-
ton of new techniques;
rather, they relate most i'm
portantly to having man be-
come attuned to a world
that is heavily conditioned
by science and technology" :"
Some centuries ago. tn e
birth of science marked the
beginning of the end of SUI
perstition. Specific knowl-
edge showed the world does
behave in an orderly an d,
possibly, a predictable way.
Technology lifted toll off
mans back and for the first
time allowed the mass of men
to live lives of dignity and
meaning.
But" said DR.. Kusch,
mans problems arise, at
least in part, from a lack
of understanding of both
science and technology"
Quietly, gently, and with
great courtesy. DR.. Kusch let
Evening star., 1961-03-25

us know he thinks news
papers and other units of in
formation have a clear duty
to create in the body polite
a perceptive understanding
of what science does, can
do, cannot do, and cannot
hope to do"
A public, bombarded by the
ever-new triumphS of science,
fails, DR.. Kusch thinks, to
understand its limitations.
Not all the power of science,
for example, can in the long
run feed an ever-expanding
population land the assump-
ton that it will do so is dan
gerous.
The mass of men believe
the better world of tomorrow
will come through science.
Not so, say the scientists.
Man will have better tools,
more comforts, more knowl-
edge, a great many more
modern "artifacts." ,
But when all is said and
done, and when science has
done it's best, man will be
left-as he always has been
to create his own value
judgments, to make deci-
sions and to rationalize him
self with a world "attuned to
science and technology"
So the message is, as be-
fore, There is no escape
from responsibility" Man,
whether we think of him as
being "a little lower than the
angels" or as "a little two
legged JOKER" has the tough
job of living with himself,
of making decisions and OF
Evening star., 1961-03-25
Science Not Worlds Salvation

determining what it is in
life he will value and honor.
DR.. Kusch sums it UP well.
Science, in itself, is not
the source of the ethical
standards, the moral insight,
the wisdom that is needed
to make acknowledgements;
though it is an important in
gredient in the making Of
value judgments. Social, po-
litical and military decisions
are made on grounds other
than those in which science
is authoritative.
"As an example" he con-
tinued, "the question of the
testing of atomic weapons
obviously poses grave scien-
tific and technical questions;
still, the ultimate decision
must be made on other
grounds the Judgment
must be made of the relative
value of the human lives
that will almost certainly-be
destroyed or distorted through
the effects of fallout and Of
the security that we may,
or may not achieve by a na=
tional policy tn at requires
the testing of bombs. An ap7
palling number of citizens
believe that it is up, to the
scientist to make the ,judg-
ment, as though he had an
especially valid set of values.
This leads to an abdication
of the right and the respon-
sibility of every man to par
ticipate in forming the fabric
of his society. ! think a more
cautious use of the phrase
Science, says. :. a,rnnore
temperate view of the
authority of science is neces-
sary." .
How much better, then. If
man knows something of his
world. How very much more
effective he would be If he
would improve his one ulti-
mate weapon - education.

'Rescuer' Faces TrioI
For Questioning Police

A 20-year-old Washington
man was arrested Thursday
night for trying to help a man
he thought was being assaulted
by two other men. who turned
out to be plainclothes detec-
tives.
Bertram r. Wensel of the
$500 block of Newark street
NV. was charged with dis
orderly conduct by the two
morals division detectives.
Mr.. Wensel told a reporter
the incident occurred at 8:45
pm. at Eleventh and E streets
NV. as he he was on his way
to a movie. Mr.. Wensel, the
son Of DR.. Louise Wensel, the
woman doctor who tried to
unseat Senator, Harry F. Byrd,
Democrat of Virginia, in the
1858 election, said the other
man shouted, Help, Help"
They (the detectiveS) looked
like teen-agers," Mr.. Wensel
said, "They were holding the
man and might have been kid
mapping him fo. I'll ! knew. I
responded to what seemed to
me to be my duty as a citizen.
Blick Backs Police
Deputy Police Chief Roy E.
Blick said his men acted prop
erly under the circumstances.
He said Mr.. Wensel had no
business at all interfering
with an arrest"
Mr.. Wensel recalled he once
saved from drowning a person
who also had called for help
II couldn't see any difference, -
he declared.
MIR. WenSel said he told the
two 'teen-agers" he would call
police If they didn't let him
talk to the man they were
holding: They said, We are
policemen and pulled out
badges" he continued.
Thinking the badges might
be fakes, Mr.. Wensel said he
continued trying to find out
the mans name. He said he
first realized the "teen-agers'
actually were police officers
when they grabbed me by the
. belt and seemed to know what
they were doing"
