PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 10
(AP). - Arnold Palmer only
matched par today but clung
to a five stroke lead in the
third round Of the $4,000
Phoenix Open golf tournament.
The defending champion,
failing to break par for the
first time in his last eight
rounds, pulled up to the 54-
hole mark 10 under par at 203.
Despite his troubles. mostly
with shots that wouldn't hold
the green, Palmer maintained
the margin he held after two
rounds. Those who had been
closest to him, folded under the
pressure.
Bill Casper fired a three
under SO on the 6,765-yard
Phoenix Country Club course
and moved into second place
at 2O8.
Wall Loses Temper
Blowing himself practically
out of contention was Art Wall,
who was the runnerup after
two rounds. Wall lost his touch
and his temper, posting a two
over 73 and falling seven
strokes off the pace.
At 2l0, Wall is tied with five
others, including Jack Nicklaus,
the 1862 National Amateur and
intercollegiate champion.
Gene Littler had an even
worse day and scared to a rs
for a three-round total of 214.
Palmer's case was bogeys off
setting his three brides. One
of the bogeys came on the par
three 210-yard 18th hole when
his tee shot Splashed into a
lake just in front of the green.
His other over-par holes re-
suited from well-placed iron
shots bouncing off the green.
II hit some good shots out
there today" he said. But
those green's were so hard.
And I just didn't sink any good
puts. The longest one was the
six-footer I needed for a par
on the 18th"
McCallister Hits Trouble
The lake at the 18th also
may have knocked young Bob
McCallister out of contention.
Four under par on the first
nine today, McCallister came in
with a II to remain seven
strokes back.

Maryland's Bruce Kelleher,
with 20 points, and Jerry
Greenspan with 16, were the

Intent of Congress

The writer of The Stars
editorial, Indecent Publica-
tions," may not have realized
it, but his jest about the pos
sibility that its presses would
be carted away by a police
man for publishing indecent
advertisements relies upon a
proverb in pre-Hitler Ger
many that Nothing is ever
eaten as hot as it is cooked"
Hitler's Germany, Of course,
disproved the proverb.
The Star says that it was
not the intent of Congress
to enact the monstrosity
which the ACLU emissions"
We don't know how The Star
has been able to fathom the
intent of Congress. There
were no hearings which ex-
plain the bill as it was ulti-
mately enacted. There was no
debate which interprets it.
The legislative reports on the
bill contain no explanation of
the seizure provisions.
In these circumstances,
especially where the language
of the statute is clear and
unambiguous, as The Star
should know, the courts do
not attempt to implement
what is thought to be the
intent of Congress-"
What does the language of
the bill provide? 1t states:
"All moneys, vehicles, fur
nishing, fixtures, adaptable
to other uses, and equipment
and stock for printing, film
ing, exhibiting, recording,
transporting, safe-keeping or
communications, or other
things of value used or to be
used in violating" the pro-
hibition against selling, CIV
ing away or having in posses
sion with intent to sell or give
away or exhibit to another
ANY obscene, lewd, or indie
cent" magazine, story, paper,
film, and the like shall be
subject to seizure by any of
ficer or member of the Met
ropolitan Police Force.
1t is after the seizure, not
before. that the police officer
goes to court, and then only
to make his temporary Sci
zure permanent. If Con-
gress did not intend what
the bill says in express words
as The Star suggests, then
this is reason enough for the
President to veto it.

WosteIond? Mois Non!

One of the more pleasant aspects
of arts news unlike that from other Sec
tors of human experience, is that it is so
often good news. AS, for instance, in the
happy revelation of that Ford Founda-
ton grant of $863,000 which clears
Arena Stage of debt and provides gen.
erously for both its artistic and archi-
tectural expansion.
The grant is part of a $6.1 million
beneficence of the Ford Foundation to
regional professional theater in this
country. 1t is calculated to stimulate its
development in such other cities as San
Francisco, Minneapolis, Oklahoma City,
Houston, and Milwaukee.
Unlike the grants to these, however,
that to Arena is outright; not on a
dollar-matching effort on the part Of
the communities involved. In its recog-
milton of Arena as brilliantly success
full, firmly established specimen of the
very theater the Foundation seeks to
encourage, it constitutes cheerful re-
buttal to the glib charge Of Washing
toms cultural aridity.
In effect, 1t is here that the pilot
project Arena represents has inspired
the Ford Foundation to the greatest
largesse the drama in America has
known in decades.

InscrutobIe Kettle

Off and on since 1857, despite the
"neutralist" Nehru governments per-
sistent efforts to cultivate the friendlieSt
ties with Red Peiping, there have been
sharp but seemingly not-too-seriouS
military clashes between Chinese Com
munist and Indian troops along the
northeast frontier of the two countries.
The latest of these encounters, however,
have been so unusually severe and bitter
that they can hardly be brushed off as
mere border incidents involving only
few trigger-happy soldiers.
On the contrary, both the Mao TIE
tung regime in Peiping and Prime Min
lister NehruS in New Delhi have begun
to speak of the situation in language
graver than any used to describe it since
the trouble began five years ago. Thus,
in their own words, the Chinese Commu-
nistS have lodged their strongest and
most serious protest" in formal note
declaring as follows: Should the In
dian side still not rein in before the
precipice, but continue to spread the
flames of war, the Indian government
must bear full responsibility for the
resulting casualties :. and all other
consequences that may ensue." And Mr..
Nehru, for his part, has announced that
midas armed forces have been ordered
to drive out Red ChinaS troops and free
our territory in the northeast frontier"
In strictly military terms, Of course,
all this may actually be less significant
than the tough talk would seem to
indicate. At any rate, the disputed
territory-an area of some $4,000 square
miles claimed by India-doeS not invite,
logistically or otherwise, large-Scale mil
itary operations of type that could be
regarded as major warfare in that par
ticular theater. Even so, one can never
be sure about the explosive potentialities
inherent in situations of this sort. Ger
tainly, as the experts are fond of saying,
there is always the possibility of "eSca-
lation"-the possibility that relatively
small clashes like those taking place in
a remote region between the Indians and
the Chinese Reds may suddenly blow up
into something much bigger, and far
more deadly, in the world at large.
Still, it seems highly improbable that
the Indian Chinese clashes on the
northeast frontier are likely to lead to
a big war. The real significance Of the
situation appears to be much more po-
litical than military. Red China con-
tinues to repay Mr.. Nehru's many past
kindnesSes with aggression; meanwhile,
the theological rift between Peiping and
Moscow is Self-evident, and Premier
KhruShchev apparently is ready to offer
New Delhi considerable succor, including
MIG jets. The whole thing adds up to
a quite interesting kettle Of rather in
scrutable Far Eastern fish as far as
midas "neutraliSm" and Sino-Soviet
relations are concerned.

Mr.. Nixon's Family

:. Back In 1852 The Democrat, an Off
cial organ of the party, launched
smear attack on Richard Nixon'S par
ents. The gist of it was that there was
something sinister in the fact that in
1947 they paid $4,000 down on a small
farm in Pennsylvania, and year later
two days after the Senator's (Nixon'S)
election-paid off $4,000 mortgage IN
full" For good measure, The Democrat
also tossed in the fact that Mr.. Nixon's
parents had paid $4,000 down on $500
home in Florida.
Mr.. Nixon'S indignant answer was
that his father was rs years old, that his
parents had worked hard all their lives
and that these OUTLAWS were made from
their savings-not from anything re-
motely connected with his election to
the Senate in 1913. With that, the 1852
smear died-although it was never pub
lic1y repudiated by any responsible
Democrat.
Now it appears that Mr.. Nixon is
faced with more Of the same. In his
appearance last Sunday on Meet the
Press" the former Vice President was
asked what he thought of the pro
priety" of a $2O5,OO0 loan in 1855 by
the Hughes Tool Company to his broth
err, who had gone bankrupt. The impli-
cation was that there must have been
some improperly in the fact that the
loan was made to brother Of the then
Vice President.
80 We think Mr.. Nixon answered the
question rather well. He said he would
have preferred that his brother hadn't
gone bankrupt, and that he had no
interest in the brothers business and
no part in the negotiation of the loan.
His mother, he said, had put up virtually
her entire life savings as security for
the loan, and that the Hughes concern
had never asked him for anything while
he was Vice President and had never
received anything from him.
We do not know what more he could
have been expected to say, unless he was
to denounce his brother for going bank
rupt and borrowing the money. But
CALIFORNIA; Governor Brown, running
for reelection against Mr.. Nixon, is not
satisfied. He says that Mr.. Nixon once
again "has not answered the question
asked him"-namely, what does he think
about the propriety of the loan?

tensive to repeat here. Suffice it to say
that they reflect, virtually without ex-

DR.. TeIIer's Guess

In his speech to the San Francisco
meeting of the United Press 1nterna-
tional editors and publishers, DR.. Edward
Teller has taken a rather pesSimistic
view of the latest series of Soviet hydro
gen-bomb tests. He thinks that our own
current efforts in the same grim field
have not been quite satisfactory" And
he has gone on to add: "It is my guess,
and it is only a guess, that the Russians
are ahead of us in the nuclear race
today"
DR.. Teller, the so-called father" OF
the thermometer weapon, has said this
with strong stress on the word guess"
Considering his unique position and i'm
menSe knowledgeability, however, there
can be no doubt that his speculation on
the matter is highly sophisticated and
informed His gueSswork, in short, even
though it may err on the side Of over
rating the Reds, is educated enough to
merit the attention of all thinking Amer
leans, in and out of the Government.
Presumably, of course, members Of
our Atomic Energy Commission and
other key experts know as much as DR..
Teller does, and perhaps considerably
more, about the relative American and
Soviet positions in this particular field.
If his guess is sound, and If 1t is shared
by these experts, then certainly we
should spare no effort to do whatever
is neceSSary-and do it now-to make
sure that America does not become sec
ond best in this Supremely deadly race.

accumulation since the thir-
ties of a number of relatively
unrelated advances in horti-
culture.
A century ago the yield was
about 80 bushels per acre.
During the next so years it
crept up to 100 bushels. BY
1897 it was 1877 bushels. Then
came the enormous jump to
300.
Systematic breeding has
3 played a major role, says an
Agriculture report.
The pattern is similar, says
the report, for other crops.
In 1880 the average yield for
cauliflower was 225 crates an
acre. 1t now is about 400
crates. Snap bean yields have
risen from IL tons per acre
in 1880 to nearly 2.5 tons.
The rise in tomatoes has been
from about four to IL tons
per acre, and for lima beans
from $40 pounds per acre to
2,400 pounds. The story Is
similar for fruits.
Development Of organic
pesticides has been of major
Importance, says the report.
Increasing use of fertilizers
and new knowledge Of how to
apply them have swelled pro-
duction totals.
The greatest factor, how
ever, has been breeding Of new
varieties adapted to a wide
variety of local conditions.

Navy Eovesdrops on Deep Sea Secrets
By THOMAS R. HENRY

The bottom of the sea is a
babel of tongues and noises.
The worlds first deep sea
bio-acouStic station has been
set up by the Navy at the
bottom of the Gulf Stream.
1t is designed primarily to
record the sounds made by
deep water animals Of all
sorts and includes a tele-
vision station. 1t is connected
by cable with a marine bio
logical station at Bimini in
the Bahamas.
The noises of the deep
bottom long have been a
naval problem because Of
their interference with under
water signalling and confu-
sion with the sounds made by
both submarines and surface
ships.
This constitutes a first
step in an intensive naval
program for study of deep
water life.
To Study Propulsion
other steps will include
research on the propulsion
of deep water animals.
Studies to date indicate that
many such systems are both
highly efficient and entirely
silent. Moreover, research on
communications and naviga-
ton of deep-water animals,
has established that many
sea jewellers are able to
detect and identify targets
with extreme accuracy. 1t has
been found that some forms,
such as porpoises, are able to
engage in underwater COM
munication exchanges.
Also planned are studies
of the ability of some large
marine animals to thrive in
deep water that supposedly
is almost entirely devoid of
dissolved oxygen. This may
lead to development of lar
tificial gillS" for men.
Other observations are
planned on marine biological
substances utilized either to
repel other animals or inhibit
their normal activities. Many
of these substances are being
examined in terms of their
biochemical composition and
their pharmacological char
acteristics with the hope that
some may prove of value as
antibiotics or personalities.

In about a decade the av-
erage potato yield per acre
in this country has more than
doubled-from 100 to 300
bushels.
This remarkable increase
has been announced by the
Department of Agriculture.
There is no single cause. The
increase has resulted from
