Tunisi0:
Compromise

Tunisian President Bourguiba
last week offered TO allow
France to retain her naval base
at Bizcrte pending settlement
of the current Berlin crisis.
When France gave Tunisia its
independence in 1856, one of the
conditions was that French forces
be permitted to keep the strategic
naval base at Bizerte. France said
only that it would evacuate the
base eventually"
For several years, President
Bourguiba pressed Paris. for a
more definitive departure date,
but each time he was rebuffed.
In the middle of July, angered
by the latest French refusal, he
ordered a blockade of the base,
and told the French to get out.
Frances reaction was swift.
Within two days, it destroyed the
blockade, and forced Tunisia to
run to the United Nations for
help. There has been no fighting
of major consequence since July
% in Bizerte but there has been
an emergency Security Council
meeting and a special session of
the General Assembly to solve the
Bizerte "crisis."
The fighting was damaging to
both the French and the Tu-
nisians. President de Gaulle
wanted to focus his full attention
on Berlin, and not be bothered
in Bizerte, and Mr.. Bourguiba
knew the tense situation was
running his country's economy, and
eroding his great prestige.
Thus, when Mr.. de Gaulle told
a press conference last week that
France would eventually evacuate
Bizerte, but not until the world
crisis over Berlin is over, Mr..
Bourguiba seized the statement
as being a first step toward a
reconciliation.
His face-saving proposal" to
allow the French to remain-he
had no real choice in the matter,
they would have stayed anyway
should lead to conciliatory talks
between the French and the Tu-
niSianS.
Such talks will be welcomed in
Washington where there has been
grave concern that the Bizerte
crisis might lead to Mr.. Bour-
guiba'S turning to the Soviet
camp. His latest action, though,
means he still plans to remain q
staunch pro-WeSterner.

THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
An Almost Visible Fear

The United States announced
on Tuesday that in light of the
Soviet Unions resumption of
nuclear testing, it would hold
tests soon. President Kennedy
said the tests, unlike the Soviet
atmosphere explosions, would be
in the laboratory or under
ground, hence fall-Out free.
The Soviet Union continued
its explosions since reSuming
nine days ago.
Two months after Japan sur
rendered, Albert EinStein wrote a
soul-searching article on the
frightening source of energy that
he had helped develop:
"Since I do not foresee that
atomic energy is to be a great boon
for long time, have to say that
for the present time it is a mem
ace. Perhaps it is well that it
should be. 1t may intimidate the
human race into bringing order
into its international affairs.
which, without the pressure of
fear, it would not do"
This man-made menace" vast
ly more deadly now than it was
in 1945, had been controlled eff
fectively for three years as a re-
suit of a voluntary agreement by
the United States, the Soviet
Union, and Great Britain.
But the Soviet Union set off
four blasts in nine days. and the
United States said it would resume
tests soon. The world already
tense as a result of the Berlin
crisis found last week that its
worst fears have assumed new
and almost visible form. Indeed
there were some reports that tine
Russians were planning to set off
an atomic blast that could be seen
over entire continents.

How 1t Works

Actually, the intensified" train
ing of the $4,000 alerted reserv-
lists will not make them, magic
ally, combat-ready. The four
Guard divisions and 146 of the
approximately 500 smaller units
notified will add one weekend
drill a month to the 48 daily
drills they attend each year. The
remaining units simply will work
harder" under existing training
schedules.
The Importance of the action,
however, is the demonstrated de-
termination of Mr.. Kennedy to
take strong action, if the time
should come for it. The men now
cautioned about a possible call
up would allow. for example, the
Pentagon to dispatch four more
Army divisions to Europe. The
Guard divisions would then be-

of easing tensions, meeting that

u. S. Tests

Paul H. Mite, a top Pentagon
official, said in speech here that
the next 80 days may decide the
future of the world for the next
100 years. There were many who
tended to agree with him.
For if the two sides cannot
reach an agreement by the end of
the year, then the possibility of
war-created by arms buildups,
radiation fallouts. and Berlin
barbed wire-will become a very
dangerous reality.
This possibility was very much
in the minds of American strate-
gists when they decided last week
to resume nuclear testing. The
action had its political signifi-
cance-to prove the Vests deter
mination not to yield to Soviet
threats-but in the long run, it's
military significance may be more
important.
The forthcoming tests will allow
the Pentagon to refine its war
machine by giving researchers an
opportunity to perfect an anti
missile-missile with nuclear
warhead, to develop better tactical
nuclear weapons, and to increase
the effectiveness and range of
the Polaris missiles.
Officials believe that such
weapons, added 10 what the
United States already has, would
be more than enough to deter the
Soviet Union, and to defend the
country,

Avoid Summer Slump
In Milk Production

Milk production may skid when
the heat finally hits but not necess-
arily as the direct result of not
weather. according to County Ag-
ent VIM. Fl. Henderson.
High temperatures alone do not
necessarily result in lower milk
production if the animals eat plen-
ty of feed, Henderson says. This
points up the importance of top
quality pasture, and the supplement
tai feeding of grain and forage dur
ing hot weather.
When the weather is hot, cows
will spend less time grazing dur
ing the day and more time grazing
at night. In Virginia tests, COWS
did 54 percent of their grazing be-
tween the night and morning milk
ings when the average daily tenn
perature was rs degrees, as com
pared to AZ percent when the tenn
perature was ga degrees.
In Louisiana tests, cows grazed
about rs percent of the time at
night during hot weather. so good
night pastures are important 1

News From American
Medical Association
New Test Found for Detecting Can

New Test FOund for Detecting Can
Ger
A new laboratory test for detect
ing cancer-based on engine act
ivity-was reported today in the
current June 81 Journal of the
American Medical Association.
The test could help physicians
treat patients in whom there is an
abnormal and unexplained escape
of fluid into various parts and
tissues of the body. a possible sign
of cancer.
Determining whether patients,
with this symptom, termed effusion
have cancer is a difficult chall-
enge," according to Russell j. Erick
son, Cancer Research Institute, I'm
iversity of California School of Med
icine, San Francisco. who will re-
ceive his MD. degree this month.
Based on earlier studies which
showed that the activity of the en-
lyme Tactic dehydrogenase (LDH)
was associated with the presence
of cancer, Erickson studied LDH
activity in samples of effusion fluid
taken from the lung and stomach
area of Ia patients.
The results indicated that 'LDH
activity in effusion fluids can be
used as a diagnostic test in the
detection of malignancy," he repor-
ted.
EffuSions of non-malignant origin
generally exhibited less LDH act
ivity than did effusions of malig-
nant origin, he said Effusion con-
tanning pus or involving massive
tissue destruction were the only ex-
eeptions, he said.
The difference between LDH act
ivity in malignant and non-malig-
nant pusless fluids was stat
istically significant" he said.
The study also indicates h a t
cancer can be detected in patients
with tuberculosis and cirrhosis. a
liver ailment, which also has been
a difficult diagnostic problem, Fri
ckson said.
Furthermore. he said, the value
of the test is enhanced by it's SIM
plicity.
LDH acts as a catalyst in the
chemical processes of the body as
do all engines. Earlier studies
suggested that effusion fluids might
pick up LDH from a nearby can
cerous growth.
