School Tv Bill
Offers States
S1Mi|Iion Each

Legislation to give 81 million
to the District and to each
State to equip educational tele-
vision stations today was re-
introduced in the Senate.
Passage was urged by Sena-
tors Magnuson, Democrat of
Washington, and Schoeppel,
Republican of Kansas, at a
time when the whole idea of
educational TV is being reap
praised in the Washington area.
Money has been a major
problem here. Agreement on the
substance of programs has been
a stickler, however.
Washington School Supt. Carl
T. Hansen withdrew from a
joint effort of area schools to
present educational programs
through the Greater Washing
ton Educational Television As
sociation. Science and art pro-
grams have continued despite
DR.. Hansen's feeling that they
did not jibe with the course Of
studies needed by local stu
dents.
Meanwhile. DR.. Hansen has
set up a f1ve-member commit
tee to study educational televi-
sion in other cities and to tell
him by February whether pro-
gramming is feasible.
Leo Altman, supervising di-
rector of District junior and
senior high schools, heads the
committee. He said the primary
obstacle to effective educational
television appears to be the
tremendous cost of equipment.
How to Coordinate the sub
stance Of programs to meet
needs Of primary, secondary,
college and adult students also
poses difficulties. he said. His
committee members are about
to study on-the-spot telecast-
ing in such cities as Pittburgh
and Boston.
They also will talk with
school officials in Maryland's
Washington County, where a
Ford Foundation grant to run
educational television has been
exhausted. The new issue is
whether the county can afford
to continue.

Helping Students Pay

Virginia'S newly instituted loan
plan to aid college students fills long
felt need in the higher education field
in that State. Whereas many other
States have policy of extending this
sort of financial help to college students,
Virginia has Jagged in this respect. It
has been said that many students, as
a result, have been forced to forgo col
lege educations because Of the financial
strain.
Impressed by evidence of the
demand for such educational assistance,
the General Assembly, urged on by
Arlington Delegate Harrison Mann,
finally approved legislation under which
loans to students of State-Supported
colleges will be made by banks, with
the State guaranteeing the loans. Up
to $3.50 year will be lent at a rate of
Az per cent If installments are paid
while the student attends college, or at
S per cent If the loan is repaid after
graduation. The monthly inStallment
on the maximum loan would be $84
Since the plan went into effect
only last month, no figures as to how
many students will take advantage of
of these loans are available. However,
with 110 banks and 18 State-supported
educational institutions participating,
it is the belief Of the programs sponsors
that many high school graduates who
would have been discouraged from going
to college by the cost will welcome the
new loan program. Certainly young
men and women eager for a higher
education deserve this helping hand
toward their goal.

No Help Comma

While some West Germans clamor
for retaliatory action against the seal
ing off of East Berlin, the Western
powers, and especially the United States,
are reported instead to be banking on
an upsurge of world opinion against the
Communists. This hope, however, ap-
pears to be vain one
In those countries where the out
cries against Western imperialism or
colonialiSm are loudest, the virtual i'm
prisonment Of the East Germans by
their Communist masters has been re-
ceived with massive indifference. Had
the United States or France or Britain,
or even Belgium or Portugal, done such
a thing the impassioned protests would
have been heard around the world. But
when the Communists do it no one
seems to care. So it is useless, we Sus-
pect, to look to world opinion" for help
in this matter. Why do we worry so
much in our own case about these So
called uncommitted countries?
This leaves the weapon of economic
retaliation, but it, too, is of dubious
value. 1t may still be invoked, possibly
by the West Germans on their own ini-
tiative. But it will serve no helpful
purpose unless the cutting of trade by
itself is sufficient to bring the East
Germans to terms And this is doubtful.
Furthermore, the East German regime
has warned that economic retaliation
will be countered by renewed blockade
OF West Berlin, threat which can
hardly be ignored.
In this situation the Western pref
erence seems to be to sit tight and await
developments. Beyond lodging pro-
test, it is unlikely that anything will be
done in the face of the latest clear
violation of the four-power agreements
respecting Berlin.
Perhaps this is the prudent course,
especially since the penning up of the
would = be refugees does not directly
impinge on those basic rights Of the
West in Berlin which we have said we
will fight to maintain. The great
danger, of course, is that, If nothing is
done, Mr.. KhruShchev will conStrue the
failure to act as evidence tending to
confirm his stated belief that the West
will never fight for Berlin. If this should
be his assessment, new violations and
provocations can be expected soon
thereby bringing closer the day when
the West at last will have to make its
stand in Berlin or stage an ignominiouS
retreat.

Confident Mr.. GoIdberq

Secretary of Labor Goldberg, ap-
pearing on -televiSion program,
has made some interesting comments
about the TeamSters Union, its president
Jimmy Hoffa, and even the Nations
press.
In answer to a question as to
whether he considers Mr.. Hoffa "a
threat to the American labor move
ment," the Secretary said he does not
He said he has great confidence in the
members of American labor unions,
including the teamSterS, and he believes
that "if Mr.. Hoffa overreaches himself
there will be corrective from within"
He explained, too, that he thinks that
Mr. Hoffa'S position has been somewhat
exaggerated" by the press.
There is little point in quibbling
with Mr.. Goldberg about what the press
has done, and we really take no offenSe
at his opinion in this case. However,
the news stories that have been printed
about Mr. Hoffa, including the findings
and the denunciations by the Mcclellan
Committee of the Senate, have not been
inventions of the press. Indeed, Mr..
Goldbergs cabinet associate, Attorney
General Robert Kennedy, has been the
source of many Of the impressions of
Mr.. Hoffa that have been reported in
the press, and even President Kennedy
has said some very uncomplimentary
things about the teamSter boss. AS for
a corrective to Mr.. Hoffa'S possible
behavior from within the teamSter
union, this could be a pretty tough
undertaking for individual members, or
even individual locals. Whatever Mr..
Hoffa is, he is not pushover for any
body who wishes to correct" him.
Even so, we hope that Mr.. Goldberg
turns out to be more right than wrong
and that he and Attorney General
Kennedy will not have falling out over
this matter.

Time for q Full Airinq

Chairman Moss of a House Subcom-
mittee investigating the Park Police has
said that staff studies have shown that
some of the charges" made against
certain officers of that force appear to
be well founded" and warrant further
inquiry. He has not disclosed what the
charges are, who made them or against
whom they are directed. He stressed,
however, that his Government Oper-
ations subcommittee is cooperating
with Interior Department officials in
their efforts to improve the force. And
the latter have announced that their
first move to Improve" the Park Police
will be to get rid of Chief Harold F.
Stewart.
In the absence of public charges
against anyone and in view of the
innuendoes against Chief Stewart and
other officers, we think the time has
come for full public airing of the Park
Police controversy. Representative Moss
is well known as a champion of the
public'S right to know" about govern
mental operations. We take it for
granted, therefore, that If any formal
charges have been made, or are to be
made, against Chief Stewart or his men,
or If the subcommittee plans to issue a
report criticizing the Chief or his ad-
ministration of the Park Police, public
hearings will be held.
There have been no public hearings
to date. All inquiries have been con-
Quoted behind closed doors. Chief
Stewart and many of his officers and
men have been interviewed about reports
of dissension within the force. The long
staff investigation has tended to create
tension and disrupt police efficiency.
1t is grossly unfair to Chief Stewart and
his force to prolong the anxiety. He
and the public have a right to know
what the Investigators have found. And
If the preliminary inquiry indicates that
the Chief is to blame for conditions On
the force, he should be given full
opportunity to answer the accusations
in public-and the sooner the better.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Liqht on Cancer Cells Behavior
By THOMAS R. HENRY

mute semi-living particles re-
sponsible for some Of the
most devastating human and
animal diseases, have brains"
of a sort.
This was reported to the
World Conference on Bio
chemistry in Moscow by DR..
Earl Evans, jr., Of the Uni
versity of Chicago. The
brain" he said, is that part
of the virus that orders the
production by the body of
new particles like itself. The
University Of Chicago work
ers have been able to isolate
1t in at least one virus par
ticle.
1t actually, DR.. Evans said,
is nothing like a real brain
as known in other organisms
but is a corckscrew- shaped
structure composed entirely
Of a chemical known as di-
oxyribonucleic acid. 1t can
be isolated from the virus
particle and transplanted into
a new host cell where it be-
gins to function all over
again.
Aids Researchers
The discovery gives scien-
fists a system which they
can control in their search
for clues to the basic genetic
code that governs the pro-
duction Of living cells.
when this dioxyribonu-
cleic acid is introduced into
a host CELL" DR.. Evans re-
ported" it reproduces the
original intact virus. These
experiments are important
for two reasons. They show
the identity of nucleic acid
with the genetic material in
the cell and make possible
experiments directed to an
understanding of the man
ner in which the gene con-
trolls the composition and be-
havior of cellular compon-
entS. 1t is hoped that study
of the system will yield in
formation on how nucleic
acid of the gene dictates the
structure of various proteins
in the living CELL"
The virus used in the ex-
periments was the So-called
lambda" virus which Ian
guishes inside an intestinal
bacillus of man where it can
remain inactive for several
generations. But when the
virus brain" is put into 1t
and it is stimulated by ultra
violet light, within 80 min
utes each particle produces
hundreds Of active new par
ticles precisely like itself.
