-. Visits
USDA Library
By GEORGE KENNEDY

Washington is, without a
doubt, the worlds greatest
center of information.
If it's the past that in
terests you, the British Mu-
scum or the Bibliotheque
Rationale in Paris or the
Vatican library may be more
rewarding.
But If it's the present,
there Is no place like Wash
ington.
Americans have a passion
for facts, statistics and re-
ports.
One Of our great reposi-
tories of information is the
United States Department of
Agriculture library, which
recently observed its Tooth
birthday.
More than one and a quar-
ter million volumes are
crowded into its four stories
of stacks in the South Build
ing on independence avenue.
Do you want to know the
accumulation of snow in the
Rockies this past winter? The
1851 rape seed crop in India2
The genealogy, going back
two or three centuries, of
Sir Gaylord, the Kentucky
Derby favorite? The library
will be able to supply you
that information in a few
minutes.
Do you get interested in
seed catalogues at this time
of year? The library has
about $500 current ones
1000 domestic and 1900 for
eign. This gives you an op-
portunity to order seeds and
bulbs of truly exotic plants.

"Non-violence relates not
simply to the act. but to what
transpires in thought and
speech as we'll" he said. For
Gandhi. hate is the subleSt form
of violence. Gandhi'S non-vio-
lence began in the heart and a
pure manifestation of it is COM
passion"
The Gandhi concept justifies
the breaking of law and Gus
tom, DR.. Nelson's aid, and those
breaking the law must volun-
tarily submit to the penalty.
The right to civil disobe-
dience. Gandhi held, is born of
habitual willing obedience to
law as long as it is bearable, -
he said. When in conscience
it becomes unbearable, the citi-
zen not only has the right but
is under the obligation to dis
obey it. Blind obedience to law
never is binding upon citizens. -
According to DR.. Nelson. the
Gandhian concept lis by far
the most completely developed
theory of non-violence."
1T has undergone a long and
thorough test in India, shorter
but important tests in Africa
and the United States" he said.
1T not only involves a move
ment of historical significance,
Evening star., 1962-04-23

but it is a concern of govern
ment. the church, the sociaI
philosopher and in no small de-
gree, the business world"
In the Howard course, DR.
Nelson treats non violence
from a philosophical and re-
ligious point of view because
he believes Christian leaders
need an understanding of non-
violence and its manifestations
if they are to understand and
deal with the social forces
which are changing the struc-
ture of race relations through
out the world.
Students enrolled in the
course learn that Gandhi de-
veloped his theory from such
philosophers as Jesus, Buddha,
Tolstoy. and Henry David
Thoreau.
DR.. Nelson has made an
exhaustive study of the Gan
dhian method for the past Is
years. During three trips to
India, he worked and talked
with Gandhi as they pondered
the problems of non-violence
in action programs designed
there. He was with Gandhi in
India during the last year of
his life. Gandhi died in jan
uary, 1948.

This is the seventh month

There were II fewer cases,

There also were lot more
cases. There were 1878 chill

1861. and 19,451 last month.
Welfare spokesman point out
that the present downward
trend still has not counter
acted the previous increase,
when the total number of cases
hit an all-time high of $4,000
last August.
A special investigation of
possible cheaters in the chill

avoided because the non- violent
method is aimed at moving
hearts instead of breaking
bodies or wills. he said.
DR.. Nelson emphasized: THE
non-violent m thod, said
Gandhi, proceeds on the prin-
ciple which say Love those
that despitefully use you The
purpose is not to bring an ad-
verSary to his knees, but to
lift him up.
"Nonviolence requires the act
of getting killed without killing,
of facing bullets without
flinching or lifting a finger
against an opponent. 1t die
tates a way of struggle against
the evil forces in society which
decries violence in any form
and its accompaniment of
malice. 1t requires dedication
to the removal of society's ills
as far as it lies within ones
power to do So"
Non-violence is not to be
construed as passive in nature,
he added. Instead, "it is a Wig

THE RAMBLER met DR..
Leslie T. C. Kuo, who is in
charge of the Chinese sec
ton and working on today's
great historical enigma
wrapped in a riddle, the
agricultural economy of
China.
Libraries in Moscow, War
saw and other capitals be-
hind the Iron Curtain have
requested and been sent
Chinese publications listed
in the Agriculture library's
photographers.
He thinks Chinese agricul-
ture is in a very bad way,
sees no parallel in the his
tory of the USSR with the
Chinese communes.
"They should have left the
peasant a little family life" :"
he says.
Agricultural production
was listed annually under
the Kuomintang from the
time of Sun Yat-sen, he
says. This has been aban-
doned by the Chinese Com
munists. 1t is possible to
obtain indications of region
al production from regional
publications, he says, but
there are no reports of ma
tional production of rice,
wheat, peanuts, soybeanS or
millet.
About six m o mt his ago
there was a suspension OF
publication of almost all
Chinese agricultural jour-
mails. This is a world loss be-
cause some of the best plant
geneticists are in China. DR.
Kuo's conclusion was that
the cause was a shortage of
paper, which always had
been of very poor quality.

Gandhi provide the basis for

sit-in demonstrators, Freedom

Easter Rites

The glories of Easter, illu-

LAST WEEK the Rambler
was given a guided tour by
the librarian, Foster E. Mohr-
hardt. The volume Of infor-
nation left him a bit stag
gered. There will be no
attempt to condense it all
into this column.
The library has more pub
licationS on Japanese agri-
culture than can be found
in Tokyo, more information
on Chinese agriculture than
can be found in Moscow or
Leningrad.
The Rambler saw the cat
aloging of incoming publica-
tions. The library, which has
$50 employees, has IS Ian
guages. More than 100 Ian
guages are represented in
the incoming mail.
The library has other Ian
guage consultants and often
will ask the embassies, not
to translate the publications,
but to give it enough infor-
nation for cataloguing and
indeXing.

Woman Found
Dead in Bay

The body of Mrs. Ruth B
Burton, 43, of Alexandria, was
found early today floating ir
Chesapeake Bay near a cabin
cruiser she ana her husband
had moored at the Rose Haver
Yacht Club just north of NORTH
Beach. Md. fa
The discovery was made BY
her husband. Warren j. Burton
Al, of 1707 Price street, ar
employe of the sanitation
division of the Arlington County
government. Mrs. Burton was 6
supervisor in the office of the
chief of transportation, Depart
ment Of Defense, at Gravelley
Point, Va.
Capt. Elmer F. Hagner of the
Anne Arundel County police
said Mr.. Burton apparently
drowned. He said the deputy
county medical examiner, DR.
Elmer Linhardt, had examined
the body at Anne Arundel
County General Hospital, An
napolis, and would determine
later today whether to perform
an autopsy.
Spent Day on Cruiser
Capt. Hagner gave this YER
sion of events leading to the
death:
Mr.. and Mrs. Burton had
spent yesterday on the 27-foot
cruiser they kept moored at
Rose Haven on Herring Bay
About 7 pm. they went into the
clubhouse for dinner and were
joined by another couple, whose
names police did not learn i'm
mediately.
After dinner and dancing
the party broke up about 1890
pm. and the Burtons returned
to their boat. Capt. Hagner
quoted Mr.. Burton as saying he
had a heart ailment. Mrs. Bur-
ton insisted he lie down and
rest, declaring traffic would be
lighter and driving would be
easier if they delayed their re-
turn home until later.
Spotted Quilt in Water
Mr.. Burton fell asleep as his
wife was cleaning up the boat
and when he awakened about
1870 am. she was missing, he
said. He walked to his car
searching for her. Upon re-
turning to the pier, his atten-
ton was attracted to a pink
quilt, from the boat, floating
in the water.
Upon closer examination he
saw his wife's body floating
face down and jumped into
the water, which was about
feet deep at this point. Mr.
Burton told police he was un.
able to lift the body to the
pier, unaSsisted, so ran to the
yacht club for assistance.
He awakened Joseph Rose
owner of the club, and the two
of them lifted Mrs. Burton's
body to the pier before police
were called.
