Khrushchev and Biq Bombs

Although it has won a lot of big
and somewhat ridiculous headlines all
over the world, there is nothing really
new or startling lin our epoch, that is)
about the idea of manufacturing a
single bomb or warhead with destruc-
tive capacity equivalent to 100 million
tons Of TINT. At his otherwise generally
gay reception for Cosmonaut Titov,
Premier Khrushchev has made the grim
boast that Soviet scientists have in
formed him apparently just recently
that such a weapon can be built, and
he has gone on to add that he will order
1t built unless the Capitalist" world
behaves and the prospects for peace
improve.
Well, now, to begin with, we wonder
why the press Of the free world has
rather naively given as much space as
1t has to such statement by the Soviet
Premier. Beyond that, we wonder
whether he really thinks that his
scientists have told him something new.
Actually, of course, if he had read some
OF our American newspapers, or easily
available official documents, in late 1858
and early 1854, he would have found in
them rather detailed StorieS-based on
highly authoritative sources like our
Joint Congressional Atomic Committee
about how thermonuclear weapons,
each equivalent to at least 100 million
tons of INT, could be readily man
ufactured, and delivered to target, by
the United States.
Our country, of course, is satisfied
with H-bombs and H-warheads of a
more practical military magnitude
the neighborhood, say, of 20 to 80 million
tons Of INT. Mr.. Khrushchev ought to
know, as he probably does, that we can
build them much bigger, every bit as
big as what he suddenly has begun to
boast about. Whom is he trying to
impress with his old-hat talk about
thermonuclear capabilities? Whom is
he trying to fool or scare? Not us, we
hope.
And we hope, at the same time,
that certain of our too easily impressed
"neutralist" friends in Asia and Africa
will look up some of our wide-open
literature, dating back almost a decade,
on this subject. If they do, they will
quite quickly see that Mr. K has said
nothing new, and they may wonder,
along with us, as to why he has taken
such line, in a menacing tone, as if
he did not know that America years ago
gave wide publicity to the 100-megaton
bomb. .-... .... ....

Fitness Should Be First

-s While commencing the Kennedy
administration on its selection of judges
TO date, a committee of the American
Bar Association has urged the President
and his brother, Attorney General
Robert Kennedy, to put fitness ahead of
partisanship in filling more than 100
vacancies still existing on the Federal
bench. The request is most timely, for
this administration, by virtue of new
legislation, has the opportunity to
appoint more judges at one time than
has been the privilege of any previous
President. The temptation to favor
Democrats over Republicans will be hard
to resist, just as the reverse has been
true when the opposite party was in
power.
Bernard G. Segal, chairman Of the
ABA Standing Committee on the Federal
Judiciary, told the annual bar con-
veltion in st. Louis that two out of
three appointments made so far by
President Kennedy have been made
from the best qualified judges and
lawyers available" That is a good
record, he said-but not as good as the
ABA would like to have it in the interest
OF improved justice. OF seventeen judges
nominated, Mr.. Segal reported, twelve
were rated by his committee as well
qualified" and the remainder as "quali-
fled" Moreover, the Attorney General
has adopted the Eisenhower administra-
tion's praiSeworthy policy of asking
the ABA committee to give confidential
appraisal of every candidate considered
for the bench. Nearly 800 such reports
have been made to the Department Of
Justice in the past six months.
=, Recognizing that politics usually
has been factor-to varying degrees
IN the selection of Federal judges, the
ABA group has asked President Kennedy
to "break new ground" by making
fitness for the bench rather than
patronage the paramount consideration.
IT such a policy is faithfully followed,
the committee declared, the inevitable
result will be IAN appreciable number
Of appointments from the opposition
party" In other words, the ABA would
not question the choice of Democrat
over Republican if the formers
qualifications were as good as Tor
superior toy those of the latter. But it
would deplore such a choice If the
Republican candidates qualifications
were outstanding. And no group is
better able to advise the administration
as to the fitness of bench candidates
than the bar association. We hope the
President will take full advantage of
this advice in making the scores of
appointments which the recent enlarge
ment of the judiciary will entail.

Spending ON Science

Considering the nature Of our times
and how our population and economy
are likely to grow between now and then,
there is nothing really fantastic about
the idea of having our colleges and
universities spend $8.2 billion a year, by
1870, on basic research and the educa-
ton of scientists and engineers.
Our present annual outlay in this
vital field-an outlay financed by several
sources, including private institutions,
States and the Federal Government-is
So billion. Big as it may seem, however,
this figure obviously is not going to be
enough for the years ahead-years that
promise, or threaten, to produce kind
of explosion of knowledge on all sorts
of new frontiers of human inquiry and
discovery. Clearly, the outlook in that
respect leaves no room for doubt that
our expenditures will have to be in
creased steadily throughout the coming
decade If our country is to deal effec-
lively with all the great challenges and
opportunities now lying before it.
This is the gist of the impressive
report Investing in Scientific Prog
resS"-recently drafted by the National
Science Foundation in keeping with its
statutory responsibility "to develop .
a national policy for the promotion of
basic research and education in the
sciences" To that end, the Foundation
advocates ten-year program of finan-
cial outlayS to increase the number of
competent teachers needed to bring
about doubling of the current total
OF scientists and engineers, including
those on the doctoral level, being grad
uated from our colleges and universities.
The program would also bring about
a marked expansion of the physical
facilities and equipment required for
an enlargement and a speed-up of basic
and applied research.
There can be no question that
action along these lines is imperative
for our national well-being and security.
Nor is this the case simply because Of
the fateful competition going on between
us and the Russians. Actually, there is
larger consideration than that. In the
words of the NSF report, From the time
of Franklin and Jefferson the people
of the United States have had faith in
both the intellectual and the material
benefits that science can bring. e. 4. Our
past investment in science has brought
us double reward: a highly developed
technology which has helped to keep
us free, and continuing enlargement
of our understanding which has helped
to enrich our freedom. Today, far more
than in the past, scientific progress
determines the character of tomorow's
civilization"
Well said. Certainly, as the years
roll on, and assuming nuclear war
does not intervene, that progression
terra firma and in the far reaches of
space around us-will be tremendous,
and our country simply cannot afford
to take a pinch-penny attitude toward
it. To do so could be catastrophe.

Soviet Ladies' Man

Ralph McGills apparent
admiration for sturdy, strap
ping Soviet women in his
column women of Muscles
and Brains" is an example of
modern progressive thought
at its worst.
The philosophy of women's
equality, or equal rights, is
actually a basic belief of
communism, and in the Red
world 1t includes such ex-
tremes as the retention OF
maiden names after mar
riage. The American woman
is unfeminine and uppity
enough now, an arrogant
shrew who turns her hus-
band into a neuter commu-
ter; please let us never get
to the stage where we start
driving trucks.
One factor which will even
tually doom communism, I
think, is its unfailing habit of
trying to defeat nature.
Women are neither emotion
ally or physically suited to
hard labor or consuming
careers. All any woman real
ly wants is to be a woman,
not a dock walloper. The
more Mr.. McGill wakes
ecStatic on the life of the
female ironmonger, the more
I see in the life of a good
old-fashioned mistress. In
deed. after seeing pictures of
Soviet women it's not hard
to understand why their men
spend their time sitting in a
capsule.
AS for Mr.. McGill's cham
pionship of Senator Full
bright's plea to strengthen
our economy, I think "wom-
ans work" should lie in
strengthening the morale
and the egoS Of our men. For
the modern emancipated suf-
fragette who doesn't know
how this is done. please see

abridging the freedom Of
speech. What Congress can
not do by law, Senator Full
bright can do by a memoir
andum. AS a result of this
memorandum recently ad-
dressed to the President and
the Secretary Of Defense, the
Defense Department issued a
directive placing restrictions
on the military.
The stated purpose Of this
memorandum is to alter mil
itary sponsored programs
having the central theme
that, THE primary. If not
the exclusive danger to this
country, is internal Commu-
mist infiltration." 1t recon-

Gil directive suggesting that
the military be used to re-
inforce the civilian support
Of the cold war effort. This
directive, the memorandum
states, was formulated on a
basic error that military per-
sonnel had the necessary
broad background to deal
with political questions.
In view of the fact that the
II instances of education and
propaganda activities of mil
itary personnel cited in the
memorandum deal with the
Communist menace, it is evi-
dent that 1t is conservative
anti Communist officers
Senator Fulbright wants to
shut up.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
New Evidence on Evolution Theory
By THOMAS r. HENRY

Man, and all other man.
mails, are descended bio
chemically from amphibians
like frogs.
New evidence supporting
the theory of evolution was
presented before the World
Biochemical Conference in
Moscow today by DR.. Philip
Cohen of the University of
Wisconsin. He and DR..
George w. Brown of the
same institution have dis
covered, he said, that a blood
serum fraction from rabbits
reacts with a liver engine
present in all animals which
form the mammal branch of
the "tree Of evolution"
"The reaction indicates"
DR.. Cohen said, that the
animals related in theory,
man included, do in fact
have a common ancestry"
The serum fraction is
purified from the gamma
globulin factor in blood from
rabbits which have been
inoculated with an engine
"a chemical which promotes
but does not take part in
body activities) which is pro-
duced by frogs. The serum
fraction reacts with this
engine to produce urea.
Significant Finding
"The significant discovery"
said Prof. Cohen. "is that
this fraction also neutral
izes a similar engine of
mammals, said to be de-
scended from amphibians
like the frog. The fact that
the engine in higher man.
mails still retains certain
molecular properties involved
in urea synthesis is of con-
siderable evolutionary sig
nificance.
"Amphibia were the first
animals able to live on land.
In order to survive out of
water they had to develop
a mechanism for the detoxi-
fication of ammonia, a
poisonous body waste not
toxic to aquatic animals.
This involved the develop
ment of engines for turn
ing the ammonia into urea,
a waste which could be
safely excreted. All mammals
descended from amphibia,
including man, still use this
mechanism.
Some other land animals,

ical conquest of the mind.
Their weapon is propaganda.
Our country is being flooded
with 1t. Are we then to re-
strict our military in its use
Of the weapon which the
Communists have found to be
so effective? ....
Senator Fulbright is at
tempting to deprive the mill
tary Of one Of its chief weap-
ons against communism,
since theological weapons are
more important in a cold war
than guns and missiles.
Kitty L. Reynolds.

In your August z editorial,
"Gagging the Military" you
make the rather interesting
statement that: Their (the
military real purpose Is to
stimulate public interest in
reinforcing national secur-
ity."
Surely, in the light OF world
history, this is an opinion
subject to considerable de-
bate.
The fact is that ". slim
ulating public interest :"
is, in this instance, really a
political act-even though a
hostile theology is involved.
Dealing with this question in
wolves the foreign policy of
the United States.
1t should be obvious to all
thinking people that under
our Constitution the execu-
tive branch Of the Govern
ment makes the policy and
the military carry it out-not
the other way around.

Agreement at the Top

s~ Unless or until all possible doubts
are cleared up by legislation or con-
Stitutional amendment, the question of
discharging presidential functions in
event-ef Presidents incapacity appears
to- be adequately resolved by the under
standing in effect between President
Kennedy and Vice President Johnson.
It is substantially the same as that
reached by President Eisenhower and
Vice President Nixon early in 1858, and
consists basically of three points. In
event of inability to carry out his duties,
the President, If possible, would so
inform the Vice President and the latter
would exercise the powers and duties.
II the President were unable to convey
such information, the Vice President
would take over after such consultation
as he might consider appropriate. In the
Kennedy johnson agreement, though
not in the Eisenhower-N Nixon one, it is
suggested that the Vice Presidents con-
sultation should be with the cabinet
and that the Attorney General partic-
ularly should advise on the actual take
over. Finally, it is provided that the
President himself should decide when
his inability is ended and he is prepared
to resume his duties.
While the White House has said
that the Kennedy-Johnson agreement
has not been put in writing it revealed
that the two had reached their basic
understanding before Inauguration last
January. Since then the Department of
Justice has been studying the matter
and has concluded that the plan is
"clearly constitutional and as close to
p practical solution" as possible.
Actually, consideration of the prob
lem itself invariably arouses sensitive
political reactions and differences of
legal opinion. Mr.. EiSenhower's several
illnesses prompted efforts on Capitol Hill
to resolve the matter by law or by con-
Evening star., 1961-08-12

stitutional amendment, but all of these
became stalled on the political and
legal rocks. There is no assurance that
any different result would attend con-
gressional efforts now. This being the
case, the intelligent and thoughtful good
will Of the two men directly involved
the President and the Vice President
probably is the most dependable element
available. Mr.. Kennedy and Mr.. Johnson
are providing it in this instance.

such as birds, branched off
and now expel uric acid in
stead of urea. The rabbit
antibody does not react with
their engines, substantial
ing that they are not on the
same branch of evolution as
the mammals"
The Wisco1' sin scientists
made their G rvations by
studying the ans by which
tadpoles switch from am
monia excretion as purely
water animals to urea excre-
tion as adult frogs.
The study has been con-
Quoted through grants from

Some as-yet-unknown sub
stance in the pituitary gland
at the base of the brain
apparently controls growth
and spread of body invading
cancers, especially in tn e
liver.
This is reported by Drs.
Bernard Fisher and Edwin
r. Fisher of the University
of Pittsburgh.
Their experiments were
conducted with some 1000
rats. They we're trying to
learn why cancers metasta-
size and spread in some per-
sons but not in others. The
liver is the organ in which
metastases most commonly
develop.
Generally, they claim, it
is not the cancer at the
original site that is SO
dangerous. This usually can
be detected in time for sue
cessful surgery. But nothing
can be done about the spread
of the malignant cells to
other parts of the body.
HormOne Believed Cause
They found that when the
pituitary gland was un-
touched cancer spread to the
liver in from two to three
weeks after an operation.
When the pituitary was re-
moved there was no metas-
tasizing in two weeks and
only six per cent in four
weeks.
A person, or a rat, of
course, cannot get along
without the pituitary but the
various hormones it secretes
can be supplied by injection.
