The ATS also objects to the
Hairy Carey bill as an en-
croachment on the free enter
prise system, maintaining that
it will lower the quality of hair
cuts and will destroy the fam
ily-barber relationship.
"The bill," says an ATS
spokesman, provides for only
one haircut q month, clearly
inadequate to fulfill its pur-
ported aims. A pensioned per-
son who needs two or three
haircuts a month would have
to pay out Of his own pocket.
Furthermore, 1t doesn't make
allowance for hair washing,
manicures, shoe shines or hair
care.

BY WILLIAM r. FRYE
Contributing Writer

90 UNITED NATIONS, N. UT is
by now only too painfully obvious
that the United States and its
key allies are seriously out Of step
on Fidel Castro of Cuba. The real
question is: Why?
Only Turkey, West Germany,
p and Japan have agreed to CO.
operate in economic pressures on
Premier Castro, despite extensive
diplomatic correspondence and two
weeks of person-to- person diplo-
macy by Secretary of State Rusk.
Mr.. Rusk has seen more than go
foreign ministers.
Britain and the Scandinavian
countries, though barring arms
shipments, have refused to cut off
other forms of trade. So has West
ern Europe and a good part Of
Latin America. Neutral countries
show monumental disinterest.
Surface explanations do not ex-
plain. "Our trade doesn't amount
: to much" 1--WE don't have the
necessary laws on the books" 1--WE
aren't at war"-theSe answers are
just for public consumption.
Closer to the heart of the mat
ter, but still inconclusive in itself,
is the argument of commercial
disadvantage. If any one country
were to cut off its trade, or
severely curb the use to which its
ships were put by charter COM
panies, the nearest competitor
would simply step in and take
the business, it is argued.
This objection does not stand
up under scrutiny. The United
States would be happy to arrange
Joint and simultaneous action by
all the principal maritime nations.
The Reel Reasons
= Real reasons for resistance vary
from country to country, but here
are some of the most widely
shared:
Q The view that Cuba is mot
an alliance problem" The United
States broke with Britain and
France on Suez: pressured Hol-
land on New Guinea; and has
given less than all-out support to
France on Algeria. Pakistan on
Kashmir, and Portugal on Goa
and Angola.
Thus, it is argued, the United
States cannot kick If the alliance
does not snap to and say uncle"
on Mr.. Castro.
o The argument that pressure
from outside Cuba will strengthen
Mr.. Castro, not weaken him. Every
tyrant, it is pointed out, needs
an external peril-real or imagined
to unite his people and keep
their minds off their troubles.
Foreign opposition solidifie d

ask for a shoeshine yesterday and

A noteworthy lemon pie is no
longer available in j. Aubrey
Seay's mansion restaurant, best
in oxford, because the proprie-
tors colored cook fears to come
to town.
Yet these things are said about
the area Negroes in tones Of OBJ
vious affection. The bitterness of
the residents is against outsiders
of both races who cause them
trouble and disrupt a way of life
that is not much different from
the social scale of 100 years ago.
Outsiders Involved
No citizen of oxford will admit
that the white rioters who threat
ened to make shambles Of their
town Monday we're from here
abouts and they are probably
right. The Rev. Duncan Gray, jr.,
pastor of st. Peters Episcopal
Church, says the rioters were

lion stars with planetary systems,
and in the cosmos as a whole
there must be trillions.
One can exclude large num-
ber of these as possible abodes
of life because the stable condi-
tions of temperature and environ
ment such as we have on earth
may not exist.
Similar Environments
But this still leaves an ex-
ceedingly large number of planets
orbiting around stars in the
cosmos which probably have con-
ditions of environment similar to
our own.
Even so, how has the origin
of life on earth been explained?
And is it unique in a biological
sense?
A great deal of biological re-
search has shown that various
processes in the evolution of life.
can by synthesized under labora-
tory conditions.
However, there is a key gap
in the biological sequence.
The simple essentials Of life,
such as hydrogen and carbon, are
common enough in the universe.
They could build up into complex
molecules in primeval oceans.
Evolution Evidence
What we don't yet know is
whether such complex molecules
can actually regenerate or repro
duce themselves.
But there is evidence, gained
from meteorites which have
fallen from the skies, that such
evolution does occur elsewhere
than on earth.
The whole situation has become
tremendously exciting recently be-
cause of the opportunity that will

the Ole Miss campus today, aside
from the armed and helmeted SOL
diers keeping the peace, is pink
turbaned sikh. His skin is darker
than Mr.. Meredith's but he ap-
parently poses no problem to the
sensibilities of his fellow students.
In truth, the people of Oxford
seem to get along very amicably
with what they call their mig
gers" Sheriff j. w. Ford, a tall
native of Iowa who has lived here
for 80 years and presides in a
courthouse where the fine is IS
for splitting on the floor, said:
"Mr. Joe"
"I've got a niger working for
me I've had for 81 years. When
he wants money or help, he sees
Mr.. joe"
He, like the other people of Ok
ford, blames the towns trouble
on outsiders. Sheriff Ford said
the local "nigras," the more for
NAL appellation for the race in
these parts, wants no part of

the only place in the universe
capable of supporting life. Now
this seems to be unlikely.
Today, their calculations have
led scientists to believe that our
planetary system came into ex-
istence by the accretion Of cold
particles from a cloud of dust and
gas which surrounded the sun in
the remote past.
Similarity in Systems
And further, that systems of
planets around stars, in the same
relationship as the earth to the
sun, are very frequent in the uni
verse.
In the Milky Way there may
be something like thousand mil
Evening star., 1962-10-07

such projects as these, unless the
standard of living is allowed to
fall.
And so, for practical financial
reasons, think that mans quest
in space is one of the few things
which give ground for optimism.
The only part of the cosmos
likely to be explored by man in
the foreseeable future-the next
few decades-is the solar system.
We can have no access to
other planets in the cosmos on
which organic evolution may be
taking place because they are so
farlaway.
The nearest star is four and a
half light years distant, and even
if we could travel at the speed
of light-186,000 miles per second
it would take four and a half
years to reach it.
1t would take five billion years,
travelling at the speed Of light,
to reach the positions Of some of
the stars which we study with
our telescopes.
So the possibility of achieving
actual physical contact with any
communities in interstellar space
is extremely remote.
But that does not rule out COM
munication by using a radio tele-
scope, which American scientists
are currently attempting.

A community in an advanced

enormous facilities for sending
signals to us, so the search for
them must be regarded as a
problem for serious study.

What Are the Chances Of Finding Life in Outer Space?

some kind of vegetation at least
is present on Mars.
1t is important, now, to con-
slider what ethical considerations
are involved in space research.
If man does not carry out his
experiments with extreme care he
will assume the moral right to
interfere with evolution which
may be taking place elsewhere.
He will also ruin his only
chance of making the all-impor-
tant discoveries on which a
proper assessment of the change
of evolution elsewhere may de-
pend.
What of Religion?
One question l have been asked
to answer is whether in the light
of scientific discoveries we must
now revise our religious and philo-
sophical thinking on the creation
of life.
Was the universe created at one
time, or is it in a state Of con-
tinuous creation?
This question Of the origin OF
the universe and of the unique
ness of life is obviously a twin
problem in religion and philoso-
ply.
I do not think that the answer
to these questions is in conflict
with theological doctrine.
Growth in scientific knowledge
need bring no lessening of re-
ligious belief. In fact, it may
well serve to strengthen existing
beliefs. Throughout mans history,
scientific thought has gradually.
and sometimes painfully. been alb
sorbed into existing religious be-
lief, and has often served to IL
Illuminate rather than obscure the
mysteries with which man is con-
tinually faced.
