Smell is a potent factor
in the social life of most
mammals. The odorous sub
stances they produce are i'm
plicated in defense, marking
of territory, Identification of
each other, and calling out of
sexual and aggressive be-
havior. Many mammals have
quite indifferent vision and
depend more on smell than
sight to assess their envi-
ronment.
Evidence of this has just
been reported to the Ameri-
can Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science by BIZ
ologists of the British Ma
tional Institute for Medical
Research.
Interest in this field"
says the report, "is age-old.
Direct neural effects, how
ever, are not the only ones
evoked in mammals by odor.
Evidence now has accumu-
lated that odor can consti-
tute a factor affecting be-
havior. 1t acts throug h
mechanismS analogous to
those evoked by visual stimuli
in birds and by light and
dark in certain other
mammals.
Acute Problems
"The recognition of odor
as an exteroceptive factor of
this kind is likely to open
up a wide field of investiga-
ton. The dramatic effects
produced in female mice by
odorous substances emanat-
ing from the male but of un-
known nature and origin
raises acute problems about
animal odorS.
"The odoriferous glands Of
mammals differ remarkably
in origin and position and in
the nature of their products.
Anatomically they may be
sub -orbital-under the eyes
as in the antelope, or the
throat as in the California
bat. In mice they have been
described on the soles of the
feet. Probably the best known
such glands in mammals are
those of the Stoat and civet,
of the musk rat and of the
beaver.
Such glands, however, al
not restricted to mammals.
The fetid smell of the croco-
dile, for instance, arises from
so-called musk glands. In

by the fact that they may or
may not be present in both

are sometimes unpredictable.
Further, in 1860, Nixon car
ried his State in his race
against President Kennedy.
Doubtless, all three, Ken
nedy, Rockefeller and Nixon,
are giving thought to wide
spread reports of a conserv-
ative uprising in this coun-
try. How to estimate this
conservative trend concerns
all of them. Kennedy and
Rockefeller are liberal leaders
in both their parties. Nixon
has been a middle-of-the-
roader. The man to benefit
most from such a trend, if
it really exists, seems for the
moment to be Senator Bar
ry Goldwater, Republican of
Arizona.
Shifts Not Likely
The probabilities are, how
ever, that Kennedy will con-
tinue to plunk for the lib
erals, for the labor and Negro
votes, and to count on them
to outnumber the conserv-
atives. Gov. Rockefeller, out
side of emphasizing his posi-
tion and that of Republi-
cans generally in support
of sound Government fl
nancing as compared to the
spending -and-more- spending
policies of Kennedy and the
Democrats, will in all prob
ability stick to liberal social
improvements in the Govern
ment of New York. At this
stage of the game, Mr.. Nixon
does not have to worry about
legislation, national or State,
and can give his whole at
tention to attacking the ad-
ministration of Gov. Brown
and at the same time to
promises to improve condi-
tions in fast-growing Cali
fornia.
Gov. Rockefeller has de-
clined to pledge himself to
serve out a full four-year
term if he is reelected. Mr..
Nixon, on the other hand,
has promised unequivocally
to serve out his term as Gov
ernor of California, if he is
elected. He has declared flat
ly he will not under any
circumstances be a candidate
for President in 1864. The
New York Governor has re-
fused to discuss the 1864
presidential race-contenting
himself with saying that he
is at present interested only
with winning reelection to
his present office.
Both men, if they win elec-
ton this coming year, will
remain in position to decline
to run against Mr.. Ken
nedy, should they believe it
is impossible to defeat him.
But such a position easily
proves untenable if the Re
publican Party demands ones
nomination for President. A
political party is not inter-
ested in the need for a Gov
ernor to serveo ut a four
year term if it wants a Gov
ernor to serve out a four
year term.
AS things stand today,
. Rockefeller's chances of VIC
tory appear excellent in view
of Democratic internal strife.
Nixon has to over come not
only the Democrats, but also
will be faced with the need
of uniting the Republicans.

THE POLITICAL MILL
BY GOULD LINCOLN
'62 Politics Occupies "a Figures

AS the old year dies and
the new year is about to
spring into being, the po-
litical picture shows three
foremost figures extremely
active, President Kennedy,
Gov. Rockefeller of New York
and former Vice President
Nixon of California.
All are putting first things
first-even though thoughts
of 1864 and its national elec-
tions are not far back in their
minds. President Kennedy is
intent on having the Dem
ocratic Party make an ex-
cellent showing in the 1862
congressional and guberna-
torial elections. Gov. Rookie
feller is putting all his ener-
gieS-or so it SeemS-into
winning reelection next No
vember by as large a margin
as possible. Mr.. Nixon is CIV
ing his all to his campaign
to capture the governorship
of his State.
President Kennedy is en-
couraged by the scattering of
elections which we're held in
196l-particularly Democrat
ic victories in New Jersey and
in the mayoralty election in
New York and the elimin-
alton of the old Democratic
bosses-the machine-in New
York City and State. For
years, in a mid-presidential-
term congressional election,
the party in control of the
White House has lost some
ground-except in Franklin
D. Roosevelt's first term. Mr..
Kennedy hopes to repeat the
Roosevelt successes.
The President has still to
obtain from the present Con-
greSs important parts of his
domestic programs, and he
has still to wrestle success
fully with a myriad of in
ternational problems. And up
on the victories or failures
he meets much will depend
when it comes to the cleo
tions. If the country contin-
ues prosperous, and the Ken
nedy administration gives aid
to all kinds of groups, DEM
ocratic successes may be ex-
pected at the polls. AS the
saying went in the FDR days
NO one shoots Santa
Claus"
Rockefeller COnfers
Gov. Rockefeller this weel
met with Republican leaders
to outline his plan of cam.
paign and to discuss with
them the coming session O.
the State Legislature. Like
the President, the Governor
must obtain legislation tt
carry out his programs. HI
may have an easier road il
these matters than has tht
President.
Former Vice President Nix
on has none of these prob.
lens. But he has to win thu
Republican guberratoria
nomination over determined
opposition of former Gov
Goodwin Knight, and thel
to carry his fight to Dem
ocratic Gov. Pat Brown. Il

Mr.. McCurdy'S interest in
aviation was spanked by q
childhood meeting with Alex
ander Graham Bell, who had
moved to the then isolated viii
lage Of Baddeck to continue his
studies into flight through ex-
periments with kites.
After graduating in mechan-

where, together with Mr.. Bell.
Glenn CurtiSs, Thomas Sell

States Vying
For Increase
In Tax Money

CHICAGO, June 26 (AP).-A
key figure in the Nations ever
broadening State income tax
picture these days is the fell
low who earns his paycheck in
a neighboring State.
He has been the subject of
heated debate in the legisla-
tive chambers Of several States
that collect income taxes.
The big issue he poses is
which State gets to keep his
income tax dollars, the State
where he lives or the State
where he works?
Thirty-six States and the
District of Columbia now i'm
pose income taxes. Commerce
Clearing House, a private agen-
cy that reports on tax laws,
says many Of the States have
satisfactory agreements with
neighboring states and others
are working toward a solution.
For instance:
When West Virginia passed
an income tax law recently it
was able to work out recipro-
cal agreements with neighbor-
ing Kentucky and Maryland,
both of which already had in
come tax laws.
Tax Accord Made
All three States have directed
films hiring nonresidentS to re-
duce the nonresidents' taxes in
the amount the employe is
taxed in his home state.
But such harmony is not easy
to come by when a great many
more employees commute to one
state than to the. other. For
example approximately 10000
New Jersey residents flock to
New York jobs each morning
compared with $4,000 or so New
Workers who work in New Jer-
sey.
New Jersey had no income
tax, but New York had - and
JerSeyiteS who worked there
were required to pay it, about
$50 million a year total.
In New York Law
Written into the New York
tax law is q provision that non
residents may deduct their
home states income tax from
the amount imposed by New
York. Faced with the need to
raise money for. commuter
transportation services, the
New Jersey legislature adopted
this new law:
