THE PASSING SCENE
Strange Campaign in New York
By WILLIAM S. WHIT

The campaign in New York
City is adding a new Ian
guage to American politics
and strikingly new defini-
tions for terms like liberal"
and conservative" as they
are understood in the rest of
this country.
To Robert Wagner, the
Democratic mayor seeking
reelection, liberal" now
means not simply pie in the
sky but also seven Sundays
in every week. And the big
rock candy mountains are to
be so flatly leveled off that
the good citizens will have no
need even to climb uphill to
eat his fill.
To these same most desper-
ately democratic Democrats,
the word conservative" is no
longer a descriptive noun or
even a hot adjective or epi-
thet. 1t amounts to an in
dictment for high crime
like burglary or arson, say.
The Ultimate Accusation
Mayor Wagner and former
Senator Herbert H. Lehman.
his chief backer, have now
brought the ultimate in accu-
sations against the Republi-
can mayoral candidate. Louis
Lefkowitz. They sternly ar
raign him as an agent Of "a
move sharply to the right"
and as "the candidate of po-
litical reaction"
Bear in mind that Mr.. Lef-
kowitz is the chosen protege
of Nelson Rockefeller, who in
1858 performed the seeming
ly impossible feat of out
liberaling even Democrat Av-
erill Hartman to reach the
Governors mansion. This.
therefore, is pretty difficult
stuff for the outlander TO
follow.
For Louis Lefkowitz. in any
other community in the Unit
ted States save perhaps for
certain extraordinary places
in California like part of the
university campus at Berke-
ley, would be regarded as
liberal, indeed.
The outlander, who must
take the general political at
titudes of the United States
as his frame of reference.
would regard Mr.. Lefkowitz
as less conservative than, say

'Tropic of Cancer

In reply TO bleeding heart
complaints of States At
torney Leonard T.s Kardy's
stand against a filthy novel,
it is apparent Mr.. Hardy ac-
cepts his public trust on a
higher plane than those of
ficials who acquiesced to the
distribution,
Our culture and morality
are beng depraved in many
areas. The ability of this Ma
ton to withstand the chal-
lenge of the coming years
is going to be seriously ham,
pered by putting a premium
on degeneracy.
Can anyone envision our
founding fathers producing
the Declaration of Independ-
ence. our great Constitution.
and other outstanding docu-
ments on a literal diet of
filthy novels?
The individual discipline
inherent in the doctrine of
free speech is lacking in the
trash segment Of contempo-
rary noveliStS. Their Swinish
efforts must be discouraged.
Instead of complaining We
should be pleased at having
public servants OF Mr..
Kardy's stature.
Harry c. WeSsIing
Hurray for Montgomery
County Police and States
Attorney Leonard T. Hardy
for his decision against the
novel "Tropic OF Cancer" 1t
is indeed gratifying to know
that there are still public
spirited men who feel that
they have an obligation to
safeguard society against the
inroads Of lewd literature.
The argument that censor
ship of porpographic books
is morally wrong; that an
adult should be free to read
what he wants to, is the
warped reasoning of one who
enjoys filthy reading enter
tainment.
"Tropic Of Cancer" is not
the only pornographic novel
on our book shelves. There
are many others. too. At any
time of the day one can see
lines of men, from II to 10,
in our downtown news
stands. noses glued between
the pages of sensational soft
cover books. The lurid covers
themselves denote the type
of reading matter inside.
Books like these are all there
on display for our young
people to read also.
What America needs are
more citizens like States At
torney Hardy to investigate
and to clean up on our mod
ern best sellers and por-
nographic book shelves.
L. Hieber
Is Maryland free State
or a police State? Are the
local Maryland police per-
mitted to make their own
laws. or to interpret exist
ing laws? When the local
police arrested two drug store
clerks for selling the book,
"Tropic of Cancer" which
law were they enforcing?
Even though the prosecut-
ing attorney says he will not
press the charges, consider
the eternal stigma unjusti-
fiably placed against these
clerks. Can you imagine them
being hired by the govern
ment when they must show
on their application that
they we're arrested in 1861
for selling obscene literature,
even though the charges were
later dropped? Would any
school board hire them as
teachers? The policemen in
volved in this action should
be Immediately and perma-
nently removed from any job
which permits the exercise Of
police powers. Let's keep the
United States-including the
State of Maryland-free!

President Kennedy and far
less conservative than Vice
President Johnson.
In New York City, however.
it turns out that Mr.. Lef-
kowitz must be seen-in the
eyes of Wagner and Company
AS a sort Of latter-day Will
liam Mckinley who might at
any moment restore the sweat
shop and. of course, the slum.
But in the anti-slum de-
partment Mayor Wagner will
surely not betray the hopes Of
the people. as the saying goes.
One Of his many promises Is
for a law to permit the city
to seize properties which it
decides are Slums and to i'm
prove" them without the per-
mission of the owners - to
whom, of course, the result
ing bills will be sent.
In case there is anybody
left in New York who knows
what conservative" means
that is, outside New York
this skeptical correspondent
suggests that no matter who
wins on November 7 the poor
old conservatives will infal-
libly be the losers.
For. assuming that Louis
Lefkowitz is not wholly free
Of the influence OF Gov.
Rockefeller Cand the as
sumption seems reasonably
safe), one may confidently
acquit him of being ultra
conservative, or simply con-
servative, or simply moder-
ate.
The Voters Choice
The voters thus have a
choice between the screech-
ingly liberal. in Mayor Wag-
ner, or merely the very
liberal, in Mr.. Lefkowitz-
that is. on the basis of the
political language still cur
rent outside the five bor-
oughs of New York.
All this means that the
most important political city
in the country-a city always
very powerful at both Re
publican and Democratic
presidential nominating con-
ventions-is running a cam
paign so far removed from
the common stream Of ma
tional political thought and
attitudes that it might as
we'll be going on atop the
moon.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Explorer Rome Reports on Antorctico
By THOMAS r. HENRY

NNA AOCoo' tllC J"O kItdJ llOdL-
ing ice indentations. Ronne's
camp was Just off shore on
the ice of the Weddell Sea.
1t was determined that
high. ice-covered land near
the station was in reality a
large island, probably the
largest of the archipelago,
with elevations as high as
5000 feet above sea level.
This archipelago is truly the
South Sea islands" how
ever different from the para
discs of fig-leafed ladies US
ually associated with the
term.
The second major geo.
graphical discovery described
by Capt. Rome is that the
prominent escarpment which
bounds the southeastern
flank of the Filchner Shelf
extends for many hundreds
Of miles, probably to the
Queen Mauds in the Ross
Sea area. tying in all the
mountain ranges along the
way.
A third major discovery
was that of a hitherto un-
known range of very high
mountains. These consist of
rugged peaks. some bare of
snow. which reach elevations
as great as two miles. They
may be the second largest
range in Antarctica.
Data to Be CO-Ordinated
The great bulk Of the data
collected by the scientists at
tached to Capt. Ronne'S sta
ton remains to be thorough
ly co-ocdinated. 1t deals with
meteorology, geology, seis-
mology. gravity and ocean
ography. Some of the find
ings undoubtedly will be
found eventually to affect all
the world especially the
southern hemisphere.
Capt. Rome. of course. had
his troubleS-plenty of them.
Nerves are taut in the Ant
arctic. If you want to make
enemies-even lifelong ones
go there. 1t may seem
strange that men banded to-
gether in high adventure
should be such prima donnas
but the phenomenon is
known to everybody who has
been in the Far South-or
the Far North for that mat
ter. I once was one Of a
group of six newspaper cor
respondents on an Antarctic
expedition. Within a few days
after crossing the Antarctic
Circle half were not speak
ing to the other half. One.
in fact, doesn't speak to me
yet. He was caught rifling
my desk one day.
Reasons for all this must
be left to psychologists, or
psychiatrists. erhaps we
were all in love with our
Observation-Disclosures, or some
thing of the sort.
Three of the men In our
group were war correspond
ents just back from Nor
mandy. We all remained very
close friends. The others had
had no previous experience
with war or ways of the mil
'itary. Perhaps the three of us
had a quite unjuStified feel
ing of superiority.
That's about the expert
ence Capt. Rome relates.
Whenever old Antarctic
hands get together these days
there is usually a session of
sneering at the new genera
ton who. it seems. go to the
Far South on a junket Of a
few weeks and come back as
authorities. But times change
and this is another genera
tion.
There's really nothing to
fight about.

W put Il scientist or technl-
clan on the Antarctic CONT
nent for a year.
This is the considered es-
innate of Capt. Finn Rome,
veteran South Pole explorer,
commander Of the American
Ellsworth Station during the
International Geophysical
Year of 1957-58. who has
spent five winters in the
eternally frozen wastes at the
bottom of the world. He now
is probably the most expert
enced of all living Americans
on Antarctic living and the
problems it entails.
The estimate. Of course.
hardly applies to the individ-
ual. His pay and rations
would amount to only a mi
mute fraction of such a sum.
1t includes all the expendi-
lures Of the Navy in trans
porting men and supplies
and building quarters and all
the logiStical support Of the
Army and Air Force. In any
official accounting this all
would be checked off to
training and rightly enough,
although. Capt. Rome points
out, under present systems
few of the men who are thus
trained ever are likely to see
polar service again.
Cooperative Mission
The International Geo.
physical Year was essentially
a scientific enterprise. Work
in the Antarctic would have
been impossible without the
active support of the armed
services. Costs for the SCI
entiStS of other nations with
Antarctic stations at this
time would not have been
quite as great, although
probably roughly equivalent
in their currencieS.
Capt. Ronne's rather star
tling calculation is brought
out in his detailed account
of his own ICY Antarctic
command, just published, He
is by no means critical. His
heart, quite obviously. was
with the scientific endeavor
and its accomplishments.
These we're, he feels, we'll
worthwhile for filling gaps
in mans knowledge of ma
ture which will have even
tually very significant reper-
cussions in many fields of
science. Practically, of course,
nobody ever will settle in the
Antarctic any more than on
the moon, whose exploration
will be a lot more costly.
1t will be years yet before
all the data collected by
Americans and others can be
co-ordinated thoroughly and
interpreted. But far more
now is known about the bot
tom of the world than ever
before. 1t must be recognized
that the job has only started.
Many thousands Of square
miles of the ice-covered con-
tinent have never been Wis
tied by man or even flown
over.
Capt. Rome recounts quite
modeStly the considerable
scientific accomplishments at
his own station. Most Signif-
icant, in all probability, were
the geographical. A m ajor
finding. supported by data
gathered at other stations,
was that the Antarctic land
mass is not a single CONT
nent, as usually pictured on
maps. The eastern half un-
doubtedly is a small conti-
nent. The western half is an
archipelago of large islands,
completely bridged over by
ice. The dividing line ap-

Poor Pastures
May Cause Low
Milk Production

It's easy for dairymen to be-
come SO involved with all the
work of harvest time that they
overlook their dwindling pas
lures. A falling off of milk
production often is blamed on
hot weather and flies when it
really is the result of under
feeding.
Acting County Agricultural
Agent Jerry Cole recommends
feeding silage, hay or green
chop to supplement forage at
this time. This is generally
cheaper than trying to make up
the difference with grain feed
ing.
1t has been estimated that
COWS provid ed supplemental
feed while on pasture produce

the minimum national average
support price, which has been
increased cent per bushel to
$l.79 per bushel, to reflect rs
percent of the estimated July l
parity price. The new minimum
reflects rs percent of the 1861
wheat parity price for May.
Information on price-support
rates for wheat stored in term
inals is also available at the
County ASC office. For major
producing areas, as in the past,
county rates generally reflect
terminal rates less handling and
freight charges needed to get
the wheat to terminals. To
maintain fair and equitable re-
lationships between county and
terminal support rates. the
county rates will be adjusted
for any future freight rate de-
creases that may occur during
the 1861 period of price-support
availability.
In general, basic county and
terminal rates are for Grade
No. i wheat. Premiums and
discounts are applied to basic
rates to determine the support
price for individual lots of
wheat which are of other grades
or have other quality factors.
The discount of 20 cents per
bushel for undesirable wheat
varieties is being continued in
the 1861 wheat support pro-
gram. The discount applies to

Grazing cattle need is to 25
percent more total digestible
nutrients for all functions than
barn-fed cows, according to re-
hearch findings at Cornell Uni
versity.
Cows on pasture require the
extra feed for energy because
of their physical activity and
exposure to the elements.
Once milk production drops,
it's almost impossible to get it
back up again. Mr.. Cole sug-
gests making up pasture loss by
providing hay in rack where
COWS can get it whenever
they're hungry.
Smyrna times., 1961-06-29
Hogs Require
Less Feed in
Cooler Rooms

Keeping hogs cool during the
hot summer months ahead will
pay off in cheaper gains, says
acting county agent Jerry Cole.
He cites California Expert
ment Station tests to support
his statement. The California
workers kept hogs nearing mar
ket weight in rooms constantly
maintained at either 100 or TO-
degree temperature.
Hogs kept in the 100-degree
rooms required four times as
much feed as those in the cool
er rooms. Mr.. Cole admits that
a constant l00-degree tempera-
ture will not be found on Del
aware farms. But the results
still show how hot temperatures
increase cost of gains.
MIR. Cole lists these four tips
for keeping hogs cool:
l. Provide at least six square
feet of shade per hog. On
pasture, running the long axis
of rectangular shade north
and south helps to reduce
dust under the shade.
2. Provide plenty of drinking
space-at least one cup for
every 20 hogs. Hogs require
at least 2 gallons per 100
pounds live weight per day in
hot weather.
5. If hogs are on concrete, pro-
vide a mist sprayer. Turn it
on when temperatures climb
past rs degrees.
4. II hogs are on pasture. To-

Farmers can't afford to lift,
move or place materials if they
can handle them mechanically,
notes Acting County Agent Jer-
ry Cole.
The shovel, fork and bucket
have become symbols of ineffic-
iency, he says, while motor
driven mixers, conveyors, aug
ers, elevators and gutter clean
ers symbolic the mechaniza-
ton necessary in modern farm

Appointed Aide
To Senator Boggs

A University of Delaware
graduate student was named
recently to the Washington staff
of United States Senator J.
Caleb Boggs R-Del.) under the
internship program for public
careers recently instituted by
the University's Department of
Political Science.
The appointment of William
S. Brereton, %, of Milford, was
announced by Senator Boggs,
He said Brereton will join his
Washington Office at the start
of the University's fall semes-
ter and will be assigned duties
which will familiarize the stud
ent with the responsibilities and
procedures of a senatorial Of
flee. Brereton, who was ap-
pointed on a one-semester bas-
is, will be principally concerned
with legislative research.
The University's internshir
program was instituted recently
under the guidance of DR.. Ralph
E. Purcell, chairman of the Po-
litical Science Department. II
is being used by an increasing
number of universities across
the nation to encourage careers
in public service.
In commenting on the ap.
pointment, DR.. Purcell said his
department welcomes this ad-
ditional opportunity to combine
the practical with the academic
training of students in politica
science. The experience with
similar programs at other insti
tutions has demonstrated thai
the internship can be of mutua
benefit to the public official
the university and the student.
Senator Boggs' help ir
strengthening the training pro
gram of our students, as wei
as intere S t ing well-qualifiec
young people in the public ser
vice, is very much appreciat
ed" DR.. Purcell said.
Last semester, the University
placed its first graduate stud
ent in a public office wher
Mayor John E. Babiarz of Viii
mington named George Andrek
an advance graduate student il
political science, as his admin
istrative assistant.
Brerton, who is also an ad
vance graduate student, is tn,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank E
