A-Peoce Unit Misuse
Laid to U. S. by Reds

VIENNA, Austria, Sept. %
(AP). - Russia accused the
United States today of carry
ing the cold war into the
atoms for peace International
Atomic Energy Agency and
attempting to turn it into an
instrument of Western mill
tary interests.
Vastly Emelyanov, chief So
Wet delegate to the agency's
general conference here, also
charged IAEA was secretly in
velved in United States plans
to station five nuclear Polaris
submarines in NATO countries.
In a speech to delegations
from IAEA's rs member coun-
tries, Mr.. Emelyanov, a nuclear
scientist, said the United States
was doing everything to sub
NIT IAEA to its military in
terests."
1.-The United States State
Department is attempting to
create a cold war atmosphere
in this organization" he as
serted. But the Soviet Union
will not accept this"
Mr.. Emelyanov said a cur
rent IAEA project to study the
possibilities for berthing nu-
clear-propulSion ships in Co.
penhagen harbor was in fact
a military scheme.
"There is only one peaceful
ship with nuclear propulsion
in the world-the Soviet ice
breaker Lenin. But she will
never go to Copenhagen" Mr..
Emelyanov said. 1T appears
that Copenhagen harbor is be-
ing prepared for the transfer
of American nuclear sub
marines to NATO countries
with the help of IAEA."

Retired Navy Comdr. Edward

Modest Man

During the course OF one OF ms
speeches to the recent 22nd Congress
of the Soviet Communist Party, Nikita
Khrushchev spoke at some length
against the danger of building a "cult
of personality" around him. AS he
depicted himself, he is rather modest
fellow who does not want to be deified.
And to emphasize the point he lashed
out again, with rhetorical Savagery, at
the late Josef Stain. More than that,
he saw to it that the congress unani-
mously adopted resolution ousting the
old tyrant's remains from Lenin's side
in the big tomb on Red Square in
Moscow Nothing could have better
emphasized Mr.. KS opposition to the
idea of self-apotheosis as carried out
by the grim Generalissimo.
Nevertheless, now that Stalin's
body has been removed from its place of
glory, and now that huge portraits OF
him have been taken down from public
display there is a vacancy that must
be filled. And what is filling it? Well,
despite Mr.. Khrushchev's protestationS
Of modesty and his vigorous conden-
nation of the cult of personality" the
interesting fact is that his picture has
replaced Stalin'S everywhere in the
USSR on the 44th anniversary of the
Bolshevik Revolution This suggests
that In due course, when he passes from
this mortal coil, his remains may be
placed beside Lenin'S.
Meanwhile, taking due note of Mr..
Khrushchev's noisy professions Of mod
esty, one can only marvel At the nature
political, psychological and psychia-
tric-of the Soviet way of life. How
lucky we are not to be entrapped in it!

CymboIs and Symbols

Over the course Of the past
80 years, our administrations
have become identified with
symbols other than the mule
or elephant. Hoover tried to
put a chicken in every pot,
and FDR dreamed up the
angular blue eagle. Truman's
Fair Deal gave us a taste
of red herring and mink. On
the next turn Of the wheel,
Ike found himself hip-deep
in vicuna. And so it goes.
So far Kennedy has not
achieved much in the way Of
symbolism other than Har-
ward professors, the prairie
schooner and a nebulous
frontier. However, a change
may be taking place. Shortly
before his departure for the
snow-covered slopes of Full
yama. Stu Udall staged a
ia hion show featuring
Alaskan sealskin coats. Does
this imply that the unframed
seal is going to replace the
egghead, the wagon. and the
frontier as the status symbol
of the Kennedy deal?

Senatorial 'Hideowoys'

Senator Proxmire of Wisconsin,
who fought bitterly and unsuccessfully
against the extension Of the East front
Of the Capitol three years ago, is not
man to forgive and forget. Now that the
new front is finished, the Senator
charges that much of the additional
space is being devoted to unnecessary"
and luxurious "hideaway" offices for 23
senior Senators, among whom Mr.. Prox-
nire presumably will not be included.
AS the Wisconsin Senator should
remember, the arguments in favor of
the extension were based on good deal
more than the provision of additional
space, including, particularly, the ne
cessity to restore through reconstruction
the crumbling and otherwise disgrace
lly-deteriorated face of the Capitol
We feel now, as we felt then, that the
project was thoroughly justified.
Still, Senator Proxmire has point.
The need for more space was empha-
sized strongly by the House and Senate
leaders who advocated the extension,
and this need was expressed in terms
of working room directly related to the
functions of the Capitol - functions
which could not efficiently be served in
the Senate office buildings. If the bulk
Of this space now is to be used, as Sen
ator Proxmire says. merely to provide
a sort of bonus" office to large num-
ber Of Senators with seniority, then
obviously the matter needs discussing.
The Wisconsin Democrat faces an
uphill fight II he chooses to pursue the
issue. For he has not only the powerful
Democratic leadership to contend with,
but also the bloc Of % senior Senators,
most of whom presumably will be we'll
pleased with the arrangement. All the
same, we think he should seek an ex-
planation on the Senate floor in Janu-'
ary from Majority Leader Mansfield and
the Senate Rules Committee, who have
sole authority to dole out the new space.

Coincidence?

From the newspapers I see
that England is considering
limiting the immigration into
England. not of foreign peo-
pie, but of members Of the
British Empire from certain
Commonwealth countries.
Does it happen to be a mere
coincidence that these barred
immigrants are Negroes? Per-
hapS the restrictions on i'm
migration will not be based
on race, but on grounds
which. in effect, will operate
rather exclusively to bar
members of one race, such
as the necessity of having a
job before entering England
or having a special needed
skill. Is this doing indirectly
what one feels they cannot
do directly?
Will this limit the future
preachments of England on
the more direct forms of ra-
cial discrimination as apart
held in South Africa and seq
regation in the Southern
States?
Though perhaps less So
phisticated. there is some
thing more inherently honest
and open in the approach Of
the South and South Africa
than in the hypocritical,
two-faced approach of the
English.

Wise Decision on the Loop

The flareup of opposition which
preceded the National Capital Planning
Commissions go-ahead vote yesterday
on certain inner-loop projects has done
more good than harm.
That, however, would not have been
the case had the vote been the other
way. Had the commission suddenly
turned about-face and asked pointlesSly
Tor delay in what it long since had
tacitly approved, 1t would have invited
a storm of protest capable of doing
great injury to the commissions own
prestige and leSSening its influence at
a time when it should be strengthened
One beneficial result of the debate
over the inner-loop concept, as late as
1t has been in materializing, is that the
highway and traffic planners have been
made fully aware that a considerable
body Of public opinion is increasingly
Skeptical as to whether the reported
advantages Of urban freeway systems
offset their obvious disadvantages
Claims are being made by opponents
as to the volume of displaced families
relative amount Of land to be seized for
highway use, possibility of DETACHMENT
OF the National Capital and the dubious
economics involved in the huge expendi-
lures required. These claims have doubt
less been explored and disposed of to
the. satisfaction of the highway engi-
neers. They need more critical examina-
ton and understanding by the public.
The Star hopes 1t may be of help in this
connection.
AS for the projects wisely approved
with certain conditions-by the COM
mission yesterday, each of them stands
on its own merits-without regard to
future progress in the provision of public
transportation and without necessarily
affecting the precise detail of other
loop projects. The most controversial
of the projects approved yesterday is the
center leg, proceeding from the South
west Freeway, on the approximate line
OF Third street, under the Mall and
through the downtown section. But all
that Is now involved here is money for
certain engineering studies which neces-
sarily underlie later decisions on the
route and treatment Of the center leg.
Available evidence supports the need
for the whole inner-loop. Additional
evidence may question certain parts of
1T. The spirit of the Planning Com
missions decision yesterday seems to
be that each individual project must JUS
tify itself, not only as to its utility but
as to its appearance, with convincing
proof that disruptive effects will be
more than counterbalanced by its de-
STABILITY as public improvement.
- What is done in Washington must
be the best that can be done If the many
agencies involved, including the Plan
ming Commission and the Fine Arts Com
mission, work together with that end in
view, there is considerable assurance
that only the best will be acceptable.

Nehru and Peace

There Is little to excite the mind
or uplift the spirit in the joint COM
munique issued by President Kennedy
and Prime Minister Nehru to sum up
the lengthy talks they have had here.
True, the talks have been especially
pleasant and rewarding," and they have
enhanced understanding between the
governments Of India and the United
States" but they do not seem to have
accomplished much beyond that
Still, let us count our blessings. Mr..
Nehru apparently has committed him.
self to the idea that our country and
its Anglo French allies have "legiti-
mate and necessary right of access to
Berlin, Presumably, If words may be
taken at face value, this means that
India fully supports the United States
and the West as a whole when they
insist that there must be no tampering
with or whiting away of the rights of
the city'S free sectors and their depend
ence on our world.
1t Is good to have Mr.. Nehru take
this position at time when efforts are
being made-aS a result of the Soviet
IldIlu1dCJuICu DCA1nl CIAOAS - W OAhlB
about meeting of minds between Mos
COW and the West on the German ques-
tion as a whole. Certainly, If India is
really as firm on this matter as the
Nehru-Kennedy communique suggests,
then there is reason to hope that most
of the ASian-African "neutraliSt" bloc
will be sympathetic to our side as re-
CARDS any negotiations that may be
undertaken to diminish the ever-preSent
danger of nuclear war and bring about
a peaceful settlement Of the issue.
To that extent, anyhow, the Nehru-
Kennedy conversations have been use
full 1t is a fact, of course, that the
Indian Prime Minister has been vague
as regards the Communist threat to
Southeast Asia, and his views In favor
of an unpoliced ban on nuclear tests
are obviously unacceptable. Neverthe-
less, taken as a whole, his talks here with
the President seem to have been pro-
ductive enough to promise, as the COM
munique suggests, genuinely wholesome
results in terms of promoting peace in
the world.

On Copyrights

Permit me to commend The
Star for the thoroughness of
its November S article en-
titled Copyright Law Report
Stirs Row On U. S. Curb" In
view Of the complexities and
diverse interests involved,
this article was surprisingly
accurate and objective.
Permit me to make q few
supplementary comments:
Proponents Of govern
mental copyrighting would
have the public believe that
quotation Of copyrighted doc
umentS Is not at issue.
Practically all of the hun
dreds of Government works
now under copyright by pub
lie officials-despite the fact
that the Copyright Act stipu-
'lates that mo copyright shall
subSist in any publication of
the Un lite d States Govern
ment" - specifically prohibit
quotation.
Proponents of govern
mental copyrighting also mis-
lead the public when they
promise that news media will
be permitted to quote copy
righted documents. Freedom
OF press is not a permissive
doctrine for any particular
segment of society; it is an
inalienable right of every
citizen.
Government by copyright is
both preposterous and dan
gerous.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Threat of SpotioI Radiation Studied
BY THOMAS R. HENRY

There is radiation in outer
space with specific effects on
the brain.
1t will be the subject OF a
special study by the Institute
Of Neurological Diseases of
the Public Health Service in
collaboration with the Army
and the University Of Cali
fornia.
There is no question, it is
claimed. that the So-called
alpha rays constitute a poSsi-
BILE major hazard for future
space travel. Important in de-
vising protective methods is
precise knowledge of how it
endangers the brain. Previous
studies by other investigators
have brought different opin-
ions regarding the primary
site Of radiation brain dam
age. One is that the primary
damage Is to the cerebral
blood vessels.
Brain Tissues Damaged
This study. which will use
very sensitive new methods
to show the early effects on
the brains Of rats, indicates
that damage takes place pri-
marily in the brain tissue
itself and that blood vessel
damage is secondary.
Brains of experimental
rats, primarily the rear por-
ton Of the cerebrum or top
Of the brain. and of the cere-
bellum. or little brain, have
been irradiated at the Uni
versity of California. Disturb
ance in the permeability Of
the blood vessels was OBJ
served after 4S hours. Dis
turbances in brain tissue
cells, however, were OBJ
served considerably earlier.
These disturbances consisted
of sugar granules within the
cells. These were found pri-
marily in highly specialized
nervous tissue cells.
Life, or some of its major
constituents, may have ex-
listed before the earth itself
perhaps in dust between
the stars.
This possibility is demon
started by chemical expert
ments Just reported through
the National Academy Of Sci
ences by DR.. Rainer Berger
of the Convair Scientific Re-
search Department of San
Diego.
Organic compounds, some
quite complicated, could have
been formed by passage Of
electricity through the prim-
tive gases Of space. or by
electron or proton lombard
ment of these gases. his ex-
periments and those of others
demonstrate. There is no evi-
dence as yet, however, that
these ever actually were
combined into an organism"
however primitive and simple.
There also is a possibility
that these compounds even
