The Johnsons of Texas

In this era of most sensitive person.
to-perSon diplomacy it is gratifying, but
in this instance not surprising, that the
JohnSonS Of Texas have been welcomed
with the warmest of acclaim as Ameri-
cas- foremost representatives at Sene-
gals independence day festivities In
Dakar. For Lyndon and Lady Bird long
ago-in Texas in Washington and on
the nationwide campaign trail-demon-
Strated the charm and graciousness that
win friends. On this basis alone, PreSi-
dent Kennedy chose wisely in asking
the Vice President to represent him
of1cially at the anniversary ceremonies
The occasion has brought to light
other gratifying aspects. The warmth
Of welcome to Mr. and Mrs. Johnson
and others of the American delegation
obviously was not based entirely on
personal grounds. Greetings from the
Dakar crowds repeatedly included shouts
OF "long live the United States, champion
Of independence"-a recognition not
always accorded to our country in the
current maelStrom of African politics.
For the record, too, both the popular
and official reaction toward the United
States and its delegation was in con-
trast to the perfunctory reception given
the representatives of the Soviet Union.
Perhaps most significant of all,
however, were the words of President
Leopold Senghor of the Senegalese
Republic, itself former French colony.
Addressing his own countrymen in the
presence Of nearly 100 foreign delega-
tions, Mr.. Senghor saluted President
de Gaulle of France as statesman who
has opened the road to independence for
much Of Africa, and warned the new
nations of the continent against the
error Of attacking their former rulers
Remember" he said, "that the colo
niZers Of yesterday are the friends of
tomorrow" 1t is, of course, an apt
reminder, fully justified by the interest
and willingness Of such former colonial
powers as Britain and France to con-

coal iron. for instance. I re-
member when ours first ar
rived the whole family ran
into the kitchen to see it
operate. Perhaps to call it a
stove shaped like the old flat
iron but with a funnel Chin
ney best describes it. The top
lifted to admit small Jumps
of charcoal which, when
lighted, would give an even
heat until time to refuel. In
that day of washboards and
coal ranges each of us chill
dren was trained to share in
the household choreS-no
allowances but on occasion
we might receive a nickel for
candy or some special gift. I
remember with what Joy I
received my first curling iron,
symbol of growing up.
One of the chores Of those
very early days was the trim
ming of the lamp wicks. We
would spread a newspaper
on the table, unscrew the
wick holder, fill the lamp
base with kerosene, and be-
fore replacing the wick, trim
off the top for an even flame.
Our robes may not have been
white and clean, but our
lamps were always trimmed
and burning ere night fell.
Of course, we had many
hours for play after our work
was done. What would the
children of today think of
rolling a hoop down the
street, or dragging a lantern
box along after dark? Or on
rainy days curling up in some
quiet alcove with an Elsie
book or even Conan Doyle'S
thrillerS?
Looking back on 1t all I
realize, with a pang, what
today's children have missed.
Spinning around like tops,
not wishing to be unwound.
could they possibly be hap
pier than we were? I wonder
when they reach the ripe
old age Of social security
checks and rocking chairs
what will be their thoughts.
Or will they be deprived Of
even the thrill of memories?
God forbid.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Measuring Rodiooctivity in Humans
BY THOMAS R. HENRY

body of the patient inclosed
in one of the steel cubicles.
To further this, each patient
is required to undergo a very
thorough scrubbing before
entering the apparatus. All
communication between the
cubicleS and the central con-
troll room is by intercom and
television systems.
Two of the steel rooms are
equipped with very sensitive
radiation detectors. Another
is known as the "quick and
dirty ROOM" which measures
quickly the radioactive con-
taminants most likely to be
found in the human body,
phosphorus and caesium.
These are found in all living
things, both plant and ami
NAL. The apparatus, how
ever, cannot detect the ema-
nations of radioactive carbon
and strontium, also likely to
be found in the human body.
FOlIOw-up Tests
After the "quick and dirty
room" the patient is moved
into one of the other rooms
where more delicate tests are
possible.
Once the total radiation
coming from an individual
is measured other detectors
make it possible to deter
mine from precisely what
part of the body the radia-
ton comes with an eXtremN
degree Of precision.

impatient Advocates

There are signs that some of PreSi-
dent Kennedy'S party colleagues, as well
as some of the outsiders who supported
the Democratic cause last fall, are being
more impatient about the legislative
progress toward the New Frontier than
is the Chief Executive himself. The
Democratic National Committee, for
example, has launched an effort to stir
up grass roots" interest and support
for the Kennedy program. At the same
time, the Americans for Democratic
Action, seldom reluctant about stating
its views strongly has directed volley
of uncomplimentary adjectives toward
Congress and its performance thus far.
1t is reported, too, that White House
advisers" have been studying the ad-
visibility of having the President "go to
the country" through some such device
as the "fireSide chat" which President
Franklin Roosevelt employed on numer-
Gus occasions.
At this point, the publicized part of
the committee effort as disclosed in it's
publication, The Democrat, falls in two
directions. One Is rundown Of what
six Kennedy programs would mean in
terms of "Spendable cash" this year-if
action Is prompt. The total comes to
$2.1 billion, of which $805 million would
go to the thirty largest metropolitan
areas Of the country-most of which
voted heavily Democratic last November
The second is an effort by and for the
diStaff side, through which Mrs.
Margaret Price, national director Of
women's activities, plans to mount
vast telephone and correspondence
offensive against the Senate in behalf
of the Presidents minimum wage bill.
The House rejected the administration
measure and approved a more limited
bill. AS for the ADA, it charged the
Congress broadside with being "diSmally
unreSponSive," with massive indif-
ference" and with being under the spell
of "the conservative axis"
Meanwhile, Mr.. Kennedy himself
has voiced neither impatience nor
criticism. He has given Congress long
list of recommendations, has received
virtually the full membership at in
formal White House gatherings and
repeatedly is in close day-to-day
personal contact by telephone with
leaders on the Hill. There is nothing
thus far to indicate that he plans a
drastic change in these tactics, but it
seems obvious in the light of his
effectiveness on televiSion, for example,
that he might stir up great deal Of
public support for his program If he
should choose to use the "fireside chat"
technique. Even so, there is an element
Of danger, Of arousing resentment, in
going over the heads Of Congress. AS a
former member Of both House and
Senate, Mr.. Kennedy undoubtedly knows
this, and his own strategy of relative
restraint may yet pay better dividends
than those who speak in more Shrill or
angry tones.

It appeared the analyzing

In short, the question was:
Have some Christians tended
to limit Christ to a spiritual
compartment relating only to
human beings rather than to
see Him as the Sovereign God
involved in the whole natural
universe and its processes?

in Christ dwells "all the full
