Siqns for Route 40

I have grown bone-Weary
Of all the hauling and SHOW
ing about which traces" shall
be permitted to eat while en-
route between Washington
and Baltimore.
Webster's defines human
kind" as Mankind; the hui
man race" It does not specify
hue. In my philosophy, all
people are members of the
human race, without regard
to whether their skins are
red, white, or blue; black,
brown, or green; or any COM
bination thereof. Again Web
ster: race The whole
race of mankind Shakes

ster breaks race" down much
further in the chronological
definition, but let's skip that
for the purposes of this dis
cussionO
Neither one to turn a hun
CRY man away from a loaded
lunch counter, nor yet to re-
quire a restaurateur to serve
someone he does not desire as
a customer, I propose that
each restaurant along the
route be required to display
prominently in its window one
Of the following signs:
/. Our business is to feed
people. If you have the money,
come on in. 2. I don't serve
people who are darker than
I am. 8. Same as above, but
add: provided they are
Americans. All foreigners are
welcome, however" 4. (To be
printed on board of the de-
sired TINT Put your hand on
this sign. If you are the same
shade or lighter, I will serve
you. If not, your money is
accursed: avast, avaunt, be-
gone!
At least this system would
enable the restaurants to
limit their clientele to those
they want, and it would avoid
embarrassment to decen t
people who enter some of
these establishments and are
denied service!
Of course, like the Segrega-
tionists-of whom I am not
one-I prefer to associate
with people much like myself,
but I don't make a fetish of
it. For where could I expect
to find a group who are hap
py, h and some, healthy,
wealthy, wise, and witty? Oh,
yes, and modest to a fault.

Biased Column

Doris FleeSon'S December
q column on the Utah 1862
senatorial race was truly re-
markable. Although datelined
Salt Lake City, it failed COM
pletely to mention the only
announced candidate for the
Senate, Calvin hampton, a
prominent Utah Democrat.
This glazing oversight is
to be expected since the COL
umn devotedly follows the
campaign line of Representa-
tive King, an unannounced
but active senatorial aSpirant.
In fact, Miss Fleeson could
easily have written the ar
ticle in Representative Kings
Washington office and saved
the travel and expense of a
2,000-mile trip to Utah. The
column can only be described
as King-size political propa-
ganda. 1t is incredible that
Miss Fleeson could have Wis
tied Salt Lake and failed to
discover that Mr.. King has
strong opposition in his own
party.
This sloppy reporting and
obvious bias serves to pre-
pare readers for the gross
distortions Of Senator Ben
nett's record and of Repre-
sentative Kings alleged
achievements in the same COL
umn. While Senator Bennett
is a strong conservative, it
is patiently ridiculous for any,
one who knows anything at
all about the Senate to de-
scribe him, as does Miss Flee
son, as either a member of
the "Jenner-M Nc arthy bloc"
or a McCarthyite. The COL
umn may be inspired but it
certainly is not inspiring.
The columnist refers to
Representative Kings father,
the late Senator William King.
He would be shocked by his
sons left-wing political phi
losophy and voting record.
The late Senator King was
the type of Democrat who to-
day cannot get the Demo-
cratic party nomination in
Utah. His moderate political
philosophy is not palatable to
the radicals who now dom
mate the party.
No doubt the Fleeson COL
umn will be widely circulated
in Utah by the King forces
in spite of its omissions and
distortions. John b. StohltOn.

varies directly with the tenn
perature. An abstract of the
Russian report has just. been
issued through the United
States Department of Com
merce.
Says the report: "a brief
sound impulse is emitted by
the sound source, stimuli
taneously with the starting
of a stopwatch. The watch
stops automatically when the
sound enters the microphones
OF the instrument. Since the
distance between the sound
source and the microphones
is known it is possible to
determine temperature ac-
curately by measuring the
time factor. The instrument
is fully automatic. Its two
m1crophones make it pos
sible to eliminate all kinds
of wind effects"
Humidity Gauge Devised
Another Russian invention
for weather observations is
designed for measurement of
absolute humidity.
"It is made" according to
the Commerce Department
report, Gin the form of two
differential bridges connected
in series to an indicator. In
the arm of one of the bridges
there are dry bulb resistance
thermometers and in the
other wet bulb thermometers,
all set at specified levels.
"It is distinguished by the
fact that automatically to
take into account the in
fluence of the absolute values
of wet bulb thermometers on
the results of the measure
ments, the power circuit of
the bridge with the wet bulb
thermometers contains a cor
recting circuit consisting of
a constant resistance mea-
surer, rectifier, booster and
an addition bridge with a wet
bulb resistance thermometer"
The instrument is espe-
cially designed to measure the
humidity difference between
two layers Of the atmosphere.
Russians also have issued
a patent for an apparatus
for automatic plotting of
meteorological data, such as
air temperature and winds.
1t consists of unit Separat-
ing meteorological data into
appropriate channels, a unit
for carrying out the re-
quired mathematical calcu-
lationS, and units for setting
up the required weather pre-
diction tables.

There now is a typewriter
which automatically can
hear, spell and record what
it hears.
The new machine is a de-
velopment at the expert
mental laboratories of the
Radio Corporation of Amer
lea at Princeton.
The receptor of the spoken
word, according to DR.. H. F.
Olsen of the laboratory staff,
is a microphone which func-
tons in some ways much
like the outer and middle ear.
Information is fed into the
time compensated spectral
memory display of the de-
vice and then into the syl-
liable memory.
THE syllable memory is
read out after a complete
syllable or word is spoken
or displayed. An effector-

the words spoken into the
microphone. Not only does
the machine record the words.
1t also uses the spelling in
formation contained in its
spelling memory, which is
interposed between the syl-
liable memory and the tipping
control unit, to record the
words correctly"
Special Hearing Device
Along much the same lines,
scientists of the University
of Arizona have developed
an electrical analogue for the
ear, through which behavior
in human hearing may be
explained. 1t is hoped that
the device can provide valu-
able hints to the psycholo-
gists and ear specialists on
various hearing disorders.
The device will display
cochlear patterns of ordinary
speech which may furnish
a key to the riddle of hu-
man speech recognition. In
vestigators for many years
have searched for a valid,
all-inclusive theory of hear
ing which may be of value
to clinicians and psyche
logists. Other applications re-
late to new kinds of speech

new ways of handling data.

ously undermine the strength

The Pennsylvania Senator
charged that some neutralist
lie ders play both sides
against the middle for their
own national or personal ad-
vantage. He criticized severe
ly the failure of the neu-
tralist nations meeting in
Belgrade to condemn the
action of the Russian Com
munists when they resumed
atmospheric nuclear tests
last summer. Some of the
neutralist leaders spoke
briefly of their regret" and
others said they understood
why Russia had to take this
action. This" wrote Sena-
tor Scott, sounds like
Tweedledum who said to
Alice: I am very brave gen.
orally; only today I happen
to have a headache"
List of u. S. Aid
Senator Scott detailed the
amount-more than So bill
lion-which the United States
has given or loaned to the
"a neutralist countries which
met at Belgrade. He showed
the following: Yugoslavia,
$2,081 100000; India, $780,
100000; Indonesia, $479 mil
lion; United Arab Republic,
$346 million; Cambodia, $257
million; Morocco, $168 mil
lion; Tunisia, $142 million;
Afghanistan, $116 million;
Lebanon, $83 million; Ethi-
opia, $79 million; Burma, $73
million; Iraq, 500 million;
Ceylon, 500 million; Cuba.
$54 million; Sudan, $31 mil
lion; Nepal, sgt million;
Saudi Arabia, SGT mil
lion; Congo Republic, $40
million; Yemen, $40 mil
lion; Cyprus, ST million; So
mali Republic, 81 million;
Ghana, S. million; Guinea,
So million. For Mali the fig
ureS were not available. The
total was $6,051 100000.
Commenting on those nell
tralists who have accepted
large sums from this coun-
try, Senator Scott pointed
out that Yugoslavia is now
blaming the West for all in
ternational tensions and urg-
ing us to accept the Russian
solution" for West Germany
and West Berlin, which could
only mean free world capitu-
lation in Europe in the end.
He wrote, too, that India has
an almost unbroken record of
voting with the Red bloc in
the U. NJ, or abstaining from
votes that might embarrasS
Russia. In Egypt, President
Nasser has kept from the
people the true extent Of
American aid to his country.
Senator Scott wrote that
"as President Kennedy has
suggested, our treatment of
nations who share our views
in times of crises should
differ considerably from deal
ings with Others" The Sen
ator pointed out that cracks
are appearing in the Com
munist bloc, but added that
the strife is mostly over what
kind of communism should
rule the world. Nevertheless,
he declared that this is the
time for the free world-and
also the neutralists-to show
their loyalty to liberty.

THE POLITICAL MILE
Alliance for Liberty Proposed
BY GOULD LINCOLN

Congress, through its COM
mittees, is going to take a
hard look at the so-called
neutralist nations, their &C
tivities and votes in the
United Nations, and at the
U. N. itself. The committees
primarily will be those deal
ing with foreign affairs and
policies, the Appropriations
Committees, and perhaps
those dealing with Govern
ment operations. Democrats
and Republicans alike will
join in such inquiries. Many
members of Congress have
been concerned over the man
ner in which some of these
neutralist countries have
taken our aid and money and
in the United Nations have
sided with Soviet Russia
and the Communist bloc
generally.
Senator Hugh Scott of
Pennsylvania, Republican,
writing in 1.-THE Shingle,"
publication of the Philadel-
phia Bar Association, has set
forth many of the reasons for
concern on the part of the
United States over the neu-
tralists. Senator Bourke Hick-
enlooper of Iowa, a Republic
can member of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee,
believes a great effort will
be made to be more realistic;
to work more closely with
our friends among the ma
tions, and to be more Selec-
tive in giving aid to peoples
who believe and go along
with American ideas of free
dom and democratic govern
ment.
Not only did Senator Scott
recommend a thorough over
hauling of United States for
eign policy on neutralist ma
lions, but he also proposed
that the United States offer
the world an Alliance for
Liberty" with those other ma
tons which would pledge al
1egiance in joint covenant
to the ultimate freedom of
mankind"
Call Selves Third Force
"NeutraliSt Is the not
wholly accurate term applied
to certain nations which re-
fuse to identify themselves
with either the free or the
Communist countries" Sena-
tor Scott wrote. 1.-THE would
be leader of the neutralists
is India. Other members of
this bloc include most of the
Arab countries, several ma
lions in the Far East and
Africa, and such Red bed
fellows as Yugoslavia and
Cuba. These countries are
not neutral in the sense that
Switzerland is neutral be-
cause of its long history of
belligerence, or in the
sense that Finland is neutral
because geography forces it
to look down the barrels of
Russian cannon. But, rather,
the neutralists fancy them
selves as a third bloc or
third force of nations which
attempt to act as counter
weights in the East-West
struggle"
Senator Scott added that
in a peaceful world of COM
petition between peace-lov-
ing nations there would be
room for this sort of Vene-
tian diplomacy. But in q
world where barbed wire sep
arates slave states from free

then it would not be proper
in the schools.
The Supreme Court did
not forbid the worshipping of
God at the beginning of each
school day. On the contrary,
it would urge that each per-
son begin his day with a
prayer if he wished. All that
the court said could not be
done was for the State to
establish rules about who
shall say what prayer in
school.
Far from helping Com
muniSm, the separation Of
church and State aids in the
fight against it by strength
ening the religious bases Of
the country. Religion is
meaningful only when the
person sincerely and per-
sonally expresses himself.
Putting religion into the
public schools would rapidly
deteriorate the value of reli-
gion as well as intrude on the
freedoms of certain people.

Regarding the article on
short skirts that appeared in
TEEN Gully g. I have this to
say to those who commented
on it:
The general opinion was
that the Washington area
teen-age girls do not go to
the extremes of va Vas,
which, according to the ar
ticle, are skirts with hem
lines about 4 inches above
the knee. They do, however,
wear skirts about inch
above the knee, or knee
length.
This is the style at pres
ent. And in my opinion this
style is fine and not cheap
looking, unless you want it
to be. So let's not stage a
campaign to put down va
Vas in Washington until it
becomes a problem and I
don't think it will. Any COM
ment? THE HEMLINE.
