BroyhMs Poll

In answer to a recent let
ter concerning a poll" taken
by our Congressman Joel
Broyhill, I would like to cor
rect one or two statements
made therein. The letter says
the missionaries are sent
only to Republican voters.
This statement is not true.
BY voting registration is Gin
dependent" This is well
known by Mr.. Broyhill. Some
of my neighbors are regis
tered Democrats, and they.
too, get his QUESTIONABLE.
The lady said that the
QUESTIONABLE carries q pic
ture Of Broyhill." I have
received a QUESTIONABLE each
time they have been sent out
and never yet has there been
a picture of the Congress-
man.
I do believe this is fair,
and as near, as he could
come to getting the political
opinion Of voters in the 10th
district, be they Democrat or
Republican. I think he de-
serves credit for making this
effort. Many sons are
not concerned enought about
casting their votes intelli-
gently. or having any opinion

For this attitude I would say
Mr.. Broyhill is not to blame
Mr.. Broyhill's representa-

What Price Peace?

In q statement on nuclear
weapon testing at his Feb
ruary Z news conference,
President Kennedy said, But
at the same time, and with
equal energy. we shall 60 on
seeking q path toward a
genuine and controlled dis
armament"
To implement q vigorous
search for q path toward dis
armament. the President pro-
posed and Congress estab-
liShed last September a
United States Arms Control
and Disarmament Agency.
According to the law which
established this agency, its
duties include not only for
mulating recommendations
on day-to-day policies, but
also extensive, lone-term re-
search in q broad range Of
relevant areas, including,
among others, "the scienti-
fic, economic. political, legal,
social, psychological, military
and chronological factors re-
lated to the prevention Of
war, with q view to a bet
ter understanding of how the
basic structure Of a lasting
peace may be established"
No agency Of our Govern
ment is charged with tasks
more difficult than these, nor
with detectives more vital to
human welfare. Yet she
agency has been allotted only
a few million dollars per year
less than one hundredth
Of l per cent Of the Fed
eral budget, and hardly
enough to scratch the sur,
face Of the broad research
program called for in its
charter. For every research
dollar being spent to make
space flight safe for astro-
nauts. less than one penny
is being directed toward re-
search on the far more for
midable problem of how to
keep the earth safe for hu-
man habitation.
Looking ahead 10 or is
years, we can expect mill
tary capabilities for offense
to continue to outStrip those
for defense. AS many more
nations obtain nuclear weap-
ons and missiles, the prob
ability will mount that some
one will trigger q catastro-
phic nuclear war by accident,
miscalculation or blunder. In
time no military deterrent,
however mighty, will be able
to safeguard our national
security. We shall achieve
security only by finding de-
pendable ways to resolve in
ternational conflicts by nom
military methods. We don't
know how to do this now,
and 1t is none too early to
launch q broad. vigorous re-
search effort to try to find
out.
I believe the overwhelm-
ing majority Of Americans
support the Presidents an
nounced desire to seek a path
toward disarmament with
equal energy" I sincerely
hope that Congress will soon
provide the Arms Control and
Disarmament Agency with
funds commensurate with its
grave responsibilities.

tect the body against physical
effects Of radiation, such as
that from a nuclear bomb.
Up to now a group Of
chemicals, the so-called am
inothiols which are sulfur-
nitrogen combinations, have
been found which appear to
have some protective effects
when given before the IRA
diation - that Is, If there
is sufficient warning. The
search now Is for something
that may help afterwards.
The damage to individual
cells Is thought to be due to
chain biochemical reactions
set up by impact Of the ra-
diation particles. All the
chemical mechaniSmS which
have been proposed are such
as might interfere with such
chain reactions.
Protective MechanismS
It has been observed that
If the amount Of oxygen in
a cell is above normal vul-
nerability to radiation dam
age is increased. Drugs
which cause capillary con-
striction afford some pro-
lection by cutting off the
blood supply Of oxygen to
cells.
Stimulating production of
white corpuscles and slowing
the normal rate of cell me-
tabolism are other protec-
tive mechanisms. In hibernat-
ing animals, for example, me-
tabolic rates are characters
tically low. If such an animal
is given q lethal dose Of ra-
diation while asleep, the gross
effects do not become ap-
parent until it wakes up.
Cooling an animal to alb
normally low body temper
allure before irradiation also
slows the rate of metabolic
reactions. In some organisms
the cooling appears to allow
time for metabolic relations
to get in balance.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Democratic Bid for Connecticut
By GOULD LINCOLN

has insisted he will demand
a primary If he is backed by
a fifth or more of the dele
gates. II he sticks to it, such
a primary might be hard,
fought and have its effect
on the general election, par
ticularly If MIR. Ribicoff- won
the primary, as he would; be
expected to do. .s
Bush Tough Opponent
Beating Senator Bush for
reelection Is not likely to
prove an easy task - and
that is a reason why Mr..
Ribicoff is more or less be-
ing pressured into making
the race. Senator Bush has
twice won election to the
Senate and on each occasion
the Democrats had high
hopes Of defeating him. In
1852, a popular Democratic
Senator, Brien Mcmahon,
died and Senator Bush was
elected to, fill the vacancy.
At that time he ran against
Mr.. Ribicoff, then a MEM
Der Of the House, and de-
feated him by $4,000 votes,
and in 1856, another Eisen-
hover year, Senator Bush
won reelection with q lead
Of 131. 900 votes. During the
years of his service, Senator
Bush has gained a reputation
for sound thinking and deci-
sion. Many of his constitu-
ents, Democrats as well as
Republicans. regard him as a .
good" Senator.
Secretary Ribicoff, a clever
campaigner and an attrac-,
tive personality; was elected
Governor in 1854, defeating
Republican Gov. John Lodge
by a narrow margin. He
was reelected in 1858 by q
much wider margin, a popu-
lar Governor who had done
much to cut down traffic IA
talities and accidents by SIM
ply taking away the licenses
Of drivers who exceeded the
legal speed limits. But when
he resigned to accept his
Cabinet post in 1861, he left
the State government in bad
financial straits, and the
Lieutenant Governor, John,
N. Dempsey, who took over,
has come in for a lot Of criti-
cism. If Mr.. Dempsey is to
be elected next November, he
will need Mr.. Ribicoff on the
ticket.
Who will be the G. o. P.
candidate for Governor is
still much up in the air.
There are four or five candi-
dates, including former Rep
resentative Edwin H. May,
jr., and John Alsop, with
former Gov. John Lodge,
very much available" Sen
ator Bush, however, has no
opposition for the renomi-
nation.
If Mr.. Ribicoff leaves
Washington, it will be the
first break in President Ken
nedy's original cabinet. The
President, in the event Mr..
Ribicoff is nominated, will
likely visit Connecticut to
speak for him. Mr.. Ribicoff
was one of the original
boosters Of Mr.. Kennedy for
the Democratic presidential
nomination. And President
Kennedy Is almost as anxious
to have a Democratic victory
in Connecticut this year as
he is in Massachusetts,, his
home State. He could cas-
lily cover the two States in
one political foray next fall,
If he makes any, and it
would be strange if he does
not. Senator Bush, on the
other hand. If he needs out
side help, could expect Gen.
Eisenhower, who carried Con-
necticut by far greater plu-
rallties than Mr.. Kennedy, to
speak for him.

Secretary OF Health, Edu-
cation and Welfare Abraham
A. Ribicoff was just short Of
formally declaring his candi-
dacy for the Senate seat now
held by Republican Senator
Prescott Bush Of Connecti-
cut, in a statement he made
in Hartford Saturday. But
he left doubt in no ones
mind that he has succumbed
to the wishes of Democratic
National Chairman John M.
Bailey (also Of Connecticut) +,
presumably with the acquies-
cence, if nothing stronger. Of
President Kennedy. Mr.. Rib
icoff, twice elected Governor
Of his State, has been regard
ed as the strongest candidate
the Democrats could put for
ward this year - and they
need a strong candidate very
much on their ticket. Not
only do they want to take
from the Republicans the
Senate seat held by Mr.. Bush
but they also want to elect
a Governor and to retain
their four House seats and If
possible to gain one at least
of the two seats now held
by the G. o.. P.
Mr.. Ribicoff said, In his
first public statement on his
senatorial candidacy, that he
would be highly honored to
accept the nomination" If the
delegates to the Democratic
State Convention July IA
vote him their Endorsement.
So, in a measure, he is leav-
ing the decision to those dele
gates. The odds are heavy
that Chairman Bailey will be
able to line up q majority
of the delegates for Mr.. Ribi-
coff-even if the former Gov
ernor keeps hands off. This
is the confident belief of
Democratic leaders and more
objective observers in the
State.
KOwalSki in the Race
A diversion could be Gre
ated by Congressman at
large Frank Kowalski, a
Democrat, who long ago an
nounced his candidacy for the
senatorial nomination. Not
withstanding all the talk Of
Mr.. Bailey's support Of Mr..
Ribicoff, he has declined to
quit the race. He has been
needing Mr.. Ribicoff for
weeks, calling him a ghost
candidate" and declaring
that If the Secretary of HEW
is actually a candidate, he
should say so and resign from
the cabinet to make the race.
Mr.. KowalSki is a Pole in
a State where the residents
of Polish blood constitute a
very stable bloc Of the vot-
ers. He has twice been elect
ed to Congress in q State
wide election, and in 1860 he
received more votes than did
President Kennedy. Mr.. Ko-
walski is a Catholic and Mr..
Ribicoff a Jew. A graduate
of the Military Academy at
West Point with a BIS. de-
gree, he later won an MS. de-
gree at the Massachusetts, In
stitute of Technology. He
joined the Army as a private
and retired as a colonel. Dur
ing World War II he served
in the European theater, was
director of the program for
the. disarmament of Ger
many and organizer of Japa-
nese defense forces.
The Connecticut law pro-
vides that a candidate for a
senatorial nomination, If he
receives 20 per cent or more
of the votes in his party con-
vention, may insist upon a
primary election to choose the
candidate. This has never
been done in Connecticut
