Church Burners Beware

WarmeSt congratulations are in
order for FBI Director ]. Edgar Hoover
and his agents for their speedy capture
OF four men charged with the burning
OF Negro church in southwest Georgia.
Even before the flames had died, the
suspects had been run down and Jailed.
This was no lucky coincidence. For
nearly two weeks, since the earlier burn
ing Of three churches in the area, the
FBI had been painstakingly checking.
hundreds of country roads for Suspi-
cious-looking cars and people An un-
told number of agents had been taking
mental notes on rural churches that
would be likely targets of wanton arson
lists.
So 1t was no accident that, at $40
am, when most of the rural community
was asleep, agents arrived at the burn
ing church in time to give chase to the
culprits as they returned to admire
their handiwork. The mop-up was typ
ical Of the FBI at its best-the only
answer to this type of criminal lunacy
which Mr. Hoover has called an "affront
to the dignity of America"

New Health Man

On the basis Of his fine record in
Prince Georges County, his youth, and
hts obvious zest for public health work,
there is reason to believe that DR.. Muir
ray Grant will bring to the District of
Columbia Health Department vigorous
and forceful leadership which is long
overdue. The Commissioners are rightly
pleased that he has agreed to accept
the post Of city health director.
According to Commissioner Duncan,
final approval of the appointment by
the Civil Service Commission, includ-
ing 1000 increase in the currently
authorized salary, of $17,500 a year,
should be "just formality." We hope
this is so. The slight increase would
give DR.. Grant total salary no larger
than he received as health officer in
Prince Georges, although the program
he will head in the Nations Capital is
more than 20 times larger in terms of
expenditures, and infinitely more com
plex in terms of the problems involved.
For his part, DR.. Grant is right,
perhaps more so than he realizes now.
Id speaking Of the difficult challenge"
Of his new Job. Over the years, the
Health Department has been plagued by
q constant series of controversies and
administrative crises. A number of COM
naendable reforms we're instituted by

TerribIe-But True

The second attack in recent weeks
on congressional secretary, both oc-
curing within the shadow Of the Capt.
tol, has attracted considerable atten-
ton. But it shouldn't, really. For this
sort Of thing. goes on night after night
after night, and even In the daytime, in
this city. When any unoffending citizen
is beaten, robbed, murdered or raped,
the offense certainly Is not less atrocious
just because the victim happens not to
work for a member Of Congress.
In this instance, the victim was
Miss Martha Sue Huitt, secretary to
Representative Wilbur Mills, Of Arkan-
Sas. While walking to her apartment,
she was attacked from behind within
block of the old House Office Building.
Fortunately, as these street crimes go,
she was not badly hurt-face cuts, two
broken teeth, a swollen eye and possibly
a broken nose. However, had it not
been for the timely arrival on the
scene Of cab driver, which apparently
frightened away the attacker, Miss
Huitt might have been much more
seriously injured.
From her hospital bed, she COM
mented: "It's terrible that you can't
walk on the street without fear of being
hurt" 1t is terrible, and yet, today, it
is true. But this wasn't true of Wash
ington a generation ago. Thirty or
forty years ago, except in q very few
areas, the streets Of Washington were
Safe-day or night. That this is no
longer true is largely attributable, we
think, to mounting concern for the
rights" Of criminals which has over
balanced what ought to be at least
comparable concern for the rights Of
people who are not criminals. Congress,
II it would, could do a great deal to
remedy this situation. A few more such
crimes as the attack on Miss Huitt and
the recent stabbing of Representative
Becker's secretary while she was praying
in church may yet produce the congress
Sional action, and the tougher attitude
on the part Of the courts, which are
needed II the streets Of this city are to
become safe again.

Temporary Paint?

East Executive avenue-the brief
and heavily Travelled stretch of roadway
between the White House and the Treas
ury-was closed to traffic during World
War II as q Temporary security meas
ure." 1t was used during those years,
however, as free parking lot by White
House and Treasury officials who were
fortunate enough to get permits. And
that use continued long after most war
time security" measures were ended.
The prospect of losing their private
parking spaces was not pleasing to the
officials concerned, and they hung on
for as long as they could. Their day
ended only when President Truman
in the face Of mounting public pressure
and monumental traffic jams-finally
issued an executive order re-opening
the avenue to cars.
Our reason for reciting this near
forgotten bit of history is that the Gov
ernment once again is fooling around
with East Executive avenue It has been
converted temporarily" to a one-way
northbound thoroughfare. And where
southbound cars used to roll, the Ma
tional Park Service has marked off
lanes with bright white paint where
another lucky group of public servants
are able once again to park their cars
at 45-degree angle just outside the
White House. -.
According to T. Sutton Jett, Park
Service official, these arrangements
are entirely temporary" The new
parking spaces, he says, are for White
House employees who have been pushed
out Of their usual curb parking spaces
behind the White House by construcG
ton work on roadways of the Ellipse.
AS soon as the work is finished, he
says, two-way traffic will be restored
and the temporary" parking definitely
will be eliminated.
We are glad to hear him say so.
What bothers us, however, are those
lines Of paint. According to Mr.. Jett,
this kind Of street marking fades
rapidly with wear and weather. All
the same, there is something non
temporary about paint. And the danger
is that the constant sight of those
broad, white lines Just might instill a
wrong impression in the minds of in
fluential White House officials, who.
like everyone else, no doubt feel that
they never really have had enough
places to park.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Blood Tests via TV-Microscope

A television-m Horoscope e
which can identify and count
white blood cells has been
developed by Atomic Energy
Commission scientists.
This so-called "cellscan"
consists Of the microscope
and q slow scan television
system connected to q special
purpose computer. -Electronic
signals from the televiSion-
microscope are conveyed to
the computer which makes
the count of the white cells
in any given blood sample.
The special purpose COM
puter Is extremely complex.
1t has in its makeup over
1000 transiStors and 1900
gerrnanium diodes. 1t is de-
signed to store and analyze
blood cell images. It has a
memory device consisting Of
$500 feet Of magnetic tape.
Valuable In Hospitals
Once the operator has 10
Gated a blood cell and cen.
tered its image on the tele-
vision scanning tube, the cell
scan is capable of performing,
under the operators control,
q complex data-processing
operation on the image Of
the blood cell.
The apparatus is expected
to be Of particular value In
hospital practice where pre-
else blood analyses must be
made every day, as in cases
Of anemia. These are quite
difficult and liable to con-
siderable error with appara-
tuS currently in use.
The development is in line
with q considerable medical
program now undertaken by
the Atomic Energy Commits
sion, quite aside from research
on the effects Of radioactive
atomic isotopes themselves.

A new and highly accurate
electrical method Of measur-
ing the level Of a vital body
chemical. cholinesterase, has
been developed by Army
Chemical Corps scientists.
This is the chemical which
makes possible normal stop
and-go Transmission Of nerve
impulses for muscle control.
Its action is partially blocked
by some of the nerve gases
developed by Germans in the
last war. Poisoning by some
insecticides also affects it.
The new technique was de-
veloped in a search for a rap
Id, accurate and simple means
for detecting anticholinester-
ase agents In warfare. An
electrical current is passed
through chemical material in
the body which causes a nerve
impulse to activate the mus
cles. When cholinesterase is
added to the solution q drop
in electrical voltage is re-
corded.

Once again. a6 predicted
widely. Massachusetts, is to
stage q Kennedy-Lodse bat
tie In the six-and-a-half
weeks remaining before the
general election. Naturally, 1t
Is for q seat In the United
States Senate-the seat, in
deed, which was at one time
occupied by the father Of the
Republican candidate and,
Immediately afterward, by the
Oldest brother Of the Demo-
cratic candidate, now Presi-
dent Of the United States.
George Cabot Lodge, who
won the q. o. p. nomination
over Representative Laurence
Curtis in Tuesdays primary,
is the underdog as the con-
test in the November general
election gets underway. He
may remain the underdog.
For the Kennedys continue to

by the 2-to-1 victory Of 30
year-old Ted Kennedy over

Mccormack for the Demo-
cratic senatorial nomination.
George Lodge is IS years
old. The battle win be waged
between two very young men.
Mr.. Lodge. 1t is true, has had
seven years experience in
public service in the Labor
Departmental which he
finally became an assistant
secretary in the Eisenhower
administration. Mr.. Ken
nedy's only job since he left
law school three years ago
was as q dollar-a-year as
sistant district attorney in
Boston, which he held for
less than q year. He aided
in two Of the Presidents
campaigns. prior to taking
the job In Boston. Both young
men are handsome, and both
have been good campaigners.
quick on their feet.
Factors for Lodge
Mr., Lodges only chances
for victory - unless he can
best his opponent on the
stump. which Is exceedingly
doubtful-lie in the bitterness
among the Democrats grow
ing out Of o stormy pri-
mary campaign. in pos
sible resentment that the
Kennedys. now holding the
presidency and the office
Of Attorney General of the
United States, should reach
out for q third most impor-
tant office (that Of Senator)
and in the great number of
voters who are registered as
independents" In the State
there are 100000 voters reg
istered Democratic, SOC, 900

million independent.

Mr.. Kennedy and Mr.. Nc
Cormack, nephew Of Speaker
John w. Mccormack. Money
was sent into the State from
many parts Of the country to
aid the contestants. The fact
that the young brother Of
the President was one of the

searchlight on the battle. Mr..

SO :
New nerve and brain cells
may form in adult animals
possibly in humans.
It has been the common
belief in the past that for
nation Of these cells is re-
stricted to the time Of en-
bryonic development that
anything lost physically from
the brain is lost forever. Its
functions. however. may be
taken over by other intact
cells. There is no regenera-
ton of the nerve tissue.
This isseriously CHALLENGED
by experiments at Massachu-
sets Institute Of Technology
reported by DR.. Joseph Alt
man Of the psychophysio-
logical laboratory to the
American Association for the
Advancement Of Science. He
presents evidence that even
in adult life, at least In rats,
new nerve cells may arise
from previously indifferent
ated cells.
Challenges Old Theory
The thesis is based on the
uptake Of q chemical, RADIO
active tritiated thyniidine
which, 1t previously had been
demonstrated. enters only in
to proliferating cells. When
sections Of the brain were
damaged it was found that
the thymidine was taken up
rapidly by undifferentiated
cells In the same general
area, indicating that they
were proliferating to repair
the damage.
The strong Indication Is,
DR.. Altman's report says,
that new neurons may be
coming into existence in the
brain of adult mammals, at
any rate in such forms as
the rat. The findings may
suggest that neurons were
formed from undifferentiated
calls which 6ivided during
the time when the adminis-
tered thymidine was avail
able"
The finding Is a serious
challenge to neurological
theory in the past and, DR..
Altman admits, several alter
native explanations are posi-
