An international space
year, modelled closely after
the International Geophysical
Year, may be in the books.
1t is proposed by Rear
Admiral George Dufek, COM
mander of United States ICY
activities in the Antarctic
and first man to land by air
at the South Pole. He now
heads the Mariners Museum
at Hampton, Va.
Six other nationals took
part in geophysical year &C
tivitieS in south polar regions.
Each carried out it's own pro-
gram Of investigations, re-
suits of which, when ana
lyzed, are expected to have
far reaching effects, espe-
cially on theories of weather.
Throughout, Admiral Dufek
says, there was perfect har-
mony. This was true espe-
cially between Americans and
Russians.
All results obtained by
either side were exchanged
freely with the other. There
was an exchange of investi-
gators between camps. The
objectives were purely scien-
tific, with no military mo-
tlves, and the participants
were mostly scientists. There
was even perfect agreement
on the location of stations
over the g. million square =
mile south polar continent.
Relations AmicabIe
At first, for example, the
Russians planned to estab-
lish a camp at the South
Pole. When told the Ameri-
can already had made ar
rangements to do this, how
ever, they readily acceded
and agreed to set up their
major station at the pole
of InacceSsibility," a phrase
coined by the late Admiral
Richard E. Byrd for the point
on the Antarctic continent
farthest from any shore point.
It presumably would be the
most difficult place to reach.
The two camps, however,
always remained in friendly
communication with each
other and there never was
the slightest indication of
friction.

baby porpoise just like a
human child.
The job is in charge of the
principal of a Los Angeles
public school for retarded
children but results to date
are beginning to indicate
that the little whale-a g.
foot long, 180-pound female
is hardly to be considered
a retarded" even from the
human standpoint.
Many experiences and
data, says the report, are in
dlcative of high dolphin in
telligence.
This mammal" says the
report, has lived at sea, COM
pletely removed from land
forms for 100000 years.
Thus it is about as alien to
mankind as any mammal on
earth. Its forehead is oil
filled and contains complex
sound-generating devices.
Underwater sound is pro-
duced within the body with
mouth and blowhole closed
and tests indicate that the
dolphin is sensitive to sound
at frequencieS up to 120 kilo-
cycles. Whereas human vocal
cords pulsate at so to 100
cycles a second with about
SO selected harmonics, the
dolphin's pulsate at about
900 cycles a second with a
choice of many more har-
monies. The dolphin has at
least two, separately con-
trolled independent sound
mechanisms.
Brains Compared
"The dolphin's brain gen.
orally exceeds the human
brain in weight and has a
much convoluted cortex that
weighs about LOO grams.
Research indicates that, in
humans, 600 to 700 grams
of cortex is necessary for a
vocabulary. Absolute weight
of the cortex, rather than
the ratio of brain weight
to total body weight, is
thought to be indicative of
intelligence potential. Large
headed humans usually have
large sinus regions rather
than proportionately larger
briainS."

Not since the Supreme
Courts 1854 decision holding
segregation In public schools
unconstitutional has the
court touched such a sensi-
tive political nerve as it has
in its opinion asserting the
Federal courts can tell the
individual States how to
shape their districts Tin the
matter of population. at
least) for the election Of the
members Of their legislatures.
For that is the plain way of
stating what is now expected
to come out of the courts
decision Of last Monday, in a
case brought by a group of
citizens of Tennessee.
Two angles particularly are
involved in the wide discus
sions among Government Of
ficials and members Of Con-
gress. One is that the courts
new deciSion-running coun-
ter to many previous opin-
ions-iS just another move
by the Supreme Court to re-
vamp the Constitution and to
obliterate States rights-in-
deed, to destroy State lines.
The other is that the court
has finally undertaken a re-
form long overdue, a reform
which will give an equitable
distribution Of legislative
seats among the voters in
the States. Under present.
day legislative districting, the
rural population is given a
great advantage over the ur-
ban.
The question which arises
is whether it is better for
the Nation to have this re-
form through the action of
the Federal courts or to leave
the solution of the problem
to the States themselves.
There has been a constantly
rising demand in many of
the States where big urban
populations are concentrated
that the people in these large
centers have an adequate
representation in the legis-
latures. Efforts for such re-
forms, however, have been
without avail in many of the
States.
Claim Boon to Democrats
Here another question
arises which Is purely politi-
cal and partisan. The Su-
preme Courts decision has
been represented in some
quarters as a Christmas pres
ent to the Democratic Party,
on the theory that in most
Of the big cities Democratic
major1ties are heavy. and
that redistricting would
greatly increase Democratic
representation in the State
legislatures. Attorney General
Robert F. Kennedy has given
strong approval to the courts
deciSion-not as a partisan
action. but as meeting a
serious problem of justice to
millions of voters. But those
who insist that the decision
is a boon to the Democrats
suggest that one difference
between the late President
Franklin D. Roosevelt and
President Kennedy lies in
the fact that Mr.. Roosevelt
wanted to pack" the Su-
preme Court to get approval
Of his New Deal" and Mr..
Kennedy has a court already
packed in favor of his New
Frontiers" President Ken
nedy. however, has so far
had no opportunity to
appoint a member of the
highest court.
Admittedly, the election of
President Kennedy in 1860
turned on the votes of the
big cities, where the Kennedy
vote was concentrated - in
New York, in Philadelphia
and in Chicago. for example,
where the needed majorities
were rolled up to give him
victory, for the three States

in which these cities lie had
104 electoral votes, a big slice
of the 523 total. While ad-
hitting that the G. o. p,
needs to strengthen itself In
the urban areas. Republican
leaders today insisted that,
the new Supreme Court ruling
need not be chalked up as a
blow against their party. Ma
tional Chairman William E.
Miller said that If the redis-
tricting is carried out in
many Of the States. the sub
urban areas will gain in rep
resentation, and it Is in those
areas Republicans are strong.
If redistricting goes into
effect in New York, for ex-
ample, it is expected that
New York City will lose four.
seats in the States lower
house to Nassau County. Also,
Mr.. Miller said, Republican
strength is found in big cities
of the South - in Dallas
and Houston, Tex among
others.
g.,
Strong Protests Raised =.
The protests against the
courts decision on constitu-
tional grounds have been
loud and emphatic. Senator
John Mcclellan of Arkansas,
a Democratic member Of the
Senate Judiciary Committee,
expressed it this way: "They
(the court) are moving in the
direction of obliterating the
lines Of demarcation that
separate the powers Of the
legislative and judicial
branches Of the Government.
1t appears this latest decision
tends further towards the
notification of State sover-
eighty"
Senator Richard B. Rus
sell Of Georgia, chairman of
the Armed Services Commit
tee, said the cornerstone of
our civilization and rights as
citizens rests on a system of
checks and balances which
the majority Of the Supreme
Court has set out to destroy.
IF the people really value
their freedom" he said, "they
will demand that the Con-
gress curtail and limit the
jurisdiction being exercised
by this group before it is too
late"
The courts decision seems
to say that it will interfere,
too, in the congressional re-
districting Of the States,
which would be Just as
strenuously resisted, and
probably more so, in the fu-
ture. The court has not said
the States have no right to
pass redistricting laws. But
it has virtually threatened to
hold those laws unconstitu-
tional if they do not conform
to the courts ideas Of what
should be proper districting.
Just how the court would
attempt to enforce its decision
against a States redistrict-
ing legislation has not been
spelled out.
If a State went ahead and
elected Congressman as it saw
fit, and the court attempted
to do something about it, it
could find itself in direct
conflict with the national
House Of Representatives,
which is the final Judge of
seating or rejecting candi-
dates claiming election. In
such a struggle, the court
would come off second best,
in all probability. And how
to force a State legislature
to do its bidding in the mat
ter of redistricting for the
election of members of the
State legislature is another
serious problem. Outside of
using the armed forces of
the United States, which
would not be popular, the
court might have to rely on
