With the Nations trou-
bles piled up upon his desk
to unwieldly proportions, our
President assures us with
boyish enthusiasm that it is
well within the realm of pos
sibility that we shall have a
man on the moon within a
few short years!
We have been called "a
nation of sheep; are our
leaders now trying to turn
us into a nation of moon
calves? Are they vying with
movie and TV people in try
ing to create a world of ro-
mantle teen-age fantasy for
us to live in?
Let's come down to earth,
Mr.. President! Not that we
doubt but that sometime in
the near future some human
being shall have the glory of
planting his nations flag on

dents who became pastors Of
churches. Today dogma is q
dirty word. Why7 Simply
because there has been q
constant drumbeat against
what is actually only moral
laws, moral doctrine, moral
rules, moral regulations,
moral norms. Moral ignor-
ance has been the dire re-
suit. &.
This has resulted in secu-
larism and it has come home
to roost on the national door
step. This evil growth can
be seen in the steady decline
Of moral teaching in our
public schools. Today wide
spread cheating in schools is
rampant. So is adult and
juvenile delinquency. It is no
longer a sin for pop and nom
to titillate their sex urge by
watching so-called exotic"
dancers in both public and
private places. Surely this Is
paganism, impure and sim
pie. Widespread pornography
is another evil result.
No nation wading in the
earthly mire Of paganism, the
direct result of secularism,
can hope to be strong enough
to Withstand the semibar-
baric hordes of the atheistic
satellites and Russia. Even
physically our Nation is un-
prepared. If there are not
high moral standards then
other standards will trail in
the dust. Are we really too
liberal to fight" as declared
by Khrushchev7 He has o
point. Our biggest fight Is
with and for ourselves.
Matthew A. McKavitt.
Archbishop O'Boyle mere
ly expresses the well-known
cynical position Of the Ro-
man Catholic Church on any
form of birth control that
works. But Billy Graham
does himself no credit in
taking a similar position on
the Fauquier County sterili-
zation program. This OPP
position is irrational, ignor-
ing as 1t does the facts in
the case. Irrationality only
serves to discredit a religion.
When forced to choose be-
tween religion and rational
ity. sane people in modern
times will not abandon ra-
tionality.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Mysteries of Oceans Studied Anew

sea water. Extracts Of as lit
tie as a milligram per gallon
have been obtained.
THE ocean," says the
Woods Hole report, "is not
a homogeneous, uniform mass
of water. 1t is a highly STRAIT
ified body, iayered with wa
ters of different temperatures
and salinity. Near the Poles
cold water sinks and moves
sluggishly toward the Equa-
tor. Powerful submerged cur
rents wind through the seas
and tides lift great masses Of
water onto the earth's shore
line and then pull them back
. again.
"On the surface faster cur
rents thread their way and
wind-flecked waves travel
thousands Of miles. Under
standing Of the oceanic cir
culation and its short and
long term variations is a CEN
tral problem in all oceanog-
raphy. The marine scientist
must come to grips with the
fact that the water he is in
vestigating is moving and
changing.
Major oceanic features
still are being described. Ten
years ago a huge undercur-
rent was measured in tbs
Pacific Ocean, flowing to the
east below the west-bound
surface current at the Equa-
tor. Only this year Woods
Hole scientists measured a
similar equatorial undercur-
rent in the Atlantic. On the
same cruise examination Of
the mid-Atlantic Ridge near
the Equator revealed q low
point over which the cold
bottom water Of the South
Atlantic was flowing into the
northeast Atlantic basin.
NucIear Waste Dumping
''It already is apparent that
one assumption important In
this nuclear age must be re-
examined. 1t was thought al
one time that the deep ocean
would be a suitable dumping
ground for nuclear wastes be-
cause any motions there were
so slow that radioactive mate
rial would decompose long
before it could be harmful to
life. But increasing explora-
ton of the ocean floor indi-
Gates the presence Of cur
rents far stronger than had
been expected and bottom
photographs show a surpris-
ing distribution of animal life
in the depths"
Any determination Of the
current structure Of the
ocean, says the report, must
be based on a great number
Of observations at various
depths in many different To-
cations.
Evening star., 1962-09-15

An extensive program Of
exploration Of the deep sea
now is being carried out by
the Woods Hole, (Mass.)
Oceanographic Institute.
It is an extension Of the
work in this line by various
nations during the Interna-
tional G GeophySical Year.
Much remains to be learned.
it Is claimed, about circula-
ton in the great abysses
where such huge masses of
water are involved that even
movements Of very low veloc-
ity are significant. Several
concepts held in the past now
must be considerably revised,
says an Institute report.
Substantial progress has
been made recently in under
standing how wind. friction.
heating, inertia and the ro-
tation of the earth combine
to produce ocean currents.
The Gulf Stream is a fair ex-
ample. It now is regarded as a
kind Of boundary layer sepa-
rating the warm waters of the
Sargasso Sea from the colder
water in the north. Earlier
Woods Hole operations have
given a picture Of q series Of
currents, sometimes discon-
nected and overlapping like
the shingles on q roof. Oc-
casionally large meanders
develop. Some break off
into circular eddies hundreds
of miles in diameter.
Picture Oversimplified
Now even this picture ap-
pears to have been oversim-
plified, it appears from a re-
cent ten-week survey by five
ships which ran II parallel
north-south lines about 100
miles apart from the conti-
mental shelf to the latitude of
Bermuda. Additional observa-
tions were made Of currents
both on the surface and in
very deep water.
Results" says the report,
indicate that the meanders
are more stable and go deep
er than had been thought and
that the main Gulf Stream
itself runs deeper than the
one-mile maximum previous
ly calculated"
Oceanic circulation also is
being examined by means of
radioactive isotopes which
serve to identify masses of sea
water. Strontium 80 is being
used as a tracer to investi-
gate vertical mixtures and the
rate at which surface water
filters to the bottom. Chemi-
cal oceanographers Of the in
stitute also are studying the
chemical composition of sea
water.
Efforts are being made to
isolate some of the very di-
lutte organic components Of

York gubernatorial electi0m
since 1850. Mr.. Morhouse
went to work right after that
defeat. and in 1855 the Re-
publicans carried the State
for President Eisenhower
with a is million plurality
and elected Senator Jacob X
Javits to a seat which had
been held by Democrats since
1926. He contends New York is
basically a Republican State
and the COP. can win most
elections with the maximum
turnout Of voters.
The Republican State con-
vention which opens In Buff
falo Tuesday is expected to
be a cut-and-dried affair.
The party has its candidates
for Governor, Senator, lieu
tenant governor, and attor-
ney general, all Of whom are
up for reelection. 1t also
will nominate candidates for
controller, the only State
wide office won by a Demo-
crat in 1858, and for asso-
ciate Judge Of the State
Court of Appeals. There will
be no such clashes over can
didates as may be expected
in the Democratic State Con-
vention. But there will be q
lot of party enthusiasm.
Seek First Ballot Nomination
An effort may be made at
the convention in Syracuse
to nominate Mr.. Morgenthau
on the first ballot. II it fails,
it will be the first time in
many years a Democratic
State convention has not
made a first ballot nomina--
ton for Governor. Perhaps
Mayor Wagner and former
Senator Lehman, who have
declared this to be an open
convention with no "bossism,"
may prefer to have the
selection Of a guberna-
torial nominee go for more
than one ballot. They know
that if Mr.. Morgenthau is
put across in a hurry - he
got into the picture only q
very short time ago - the
Republican charge will be
that "bossism" has merely
been transferred in the DEM
ocratic Party from Carmine
G. DeSapio, former Tamma-
ny boss, to the shoulders Of
Mayor Wagner, who ran for
denomination last year on an
anti-bossism platform. The
Republicans found "bossism"
an effective issue in their
campaign to elect Gov. Rock
efeller in 1858. There seems
no doubt whatever that tn e.
selection Of Mr.. Morgenthau
as the Democratic Party
standard bearer was made by.
Mayor Wagner and perhaps
with the approval Of the
Kennedy administration. Mr..
Morgenthau is 43 years old,
son Of President Franklin D.
RooSevelt's Secretary Of the
Treasury. He has q good rec
ord as United States attor-s
ney and while he has been
in politics for a dozen years,
he has no enemies arising out

THE POLITICAL MILL
BY GOULD LINCOLN
Democratic Jockeying in MY.

Showdown day for New
York Democrats is at hand.
They hope to nominate q
candidate who can defeat
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller.
Republican, at their State
convention opening Monday
in Syracuse. Many Of the can
didates have been trotted out.
Some of them declined to
run, including Mayor Wagner
Of New York. Others re-
ceived little support and
faded from the picture. The
four avowed and campaign
ing candidates are former
United States Attorney Rob-
ert M. Morgenthau. Queens
County District Attorney
Frank D. O'Connor, Repre-
sentative Samuel S. Stratton
of Schenectady, and Indus
trialist Howard j. Samuels
of Canadaigua. Mr.. Nor
genthau has the big guns in
his corner among them
Mayor Wagner and former
Senator and Governor Herb
ert L. Lehman = and 1t will
be q surprise II he does not
win.
Big Task for Winner
The candidate selected, no
matter which one, will face
a real task. Gov. Rockefeller
has been a successful Cover
nor. He has q flair for peo-
pie. He is q great campaign
er. He was elected in 1855
when Democrats were making
gains in other Governor races
and in Congress-by 573,0 900
votes over an incumbent De-
mocratic Governor, Averell
Hartman. In addition, the
Republicans claim the State
has become the Nations
Most Republican State"
They base the claim ON the
fact that New York is the
largest of only six States that
have Republican Governors,
two Republican Senators, and
Republican majorities n both
houses Of the State legisla-
ture. The other States which
have the same all Republican
lineup are Iowa, Kansas,
New Hampshire, South Dako-
ia and Vermont. Democrats
dispute this claim, pointing
to the fact that President
Kennedy carried the State in
1860 over Richard Nixon by
about 400.0 votes, and that
the New York delegation in
Congress today comprises %
Democrats and 81 Republi-
cans. To this the Republi-
cans reply they expect to gain
three or possibly four House
seats in the November cleo
tions, in addition to re-elect-
ing Gov. Rockefeller.
Further. the Republicans
have an efficient State organ
ization, with L. Judson Nor
house as State chairman. Mr.
Morhouse will be reelected
State chairman for q fifth
two-year term when the State
committee meets in Buffalo
Monday on the eve of the
Republican State Convention.
He became chairman just be-
fore the 1854 State campaign
in which the late Republican
Senator Ives was defeated by

The United States can pro-
duce billions of dollars worth
Of goods each year. But unless
these goods are advertised and
sold, they'll back up in ware
houses, businesses will fail,
jobs will disappear and the
economy falter.
The country's growth In this
era of abundance is not de-
pendent on production alone. 1t
is also dependent on the mar
keting of the goods at home
and abroad. Crucial to pros
perity, therefore, are our at
titudes toward statesmen, their
incentives and our understand
ing Of the role of selling In q
consumers economy.
These points are obvious to
an observer of the economy. In
the face of them, the findings
of a survey Of the opinions
of college men about selling
and Of their grasp of settings
function are discouraging.
Few Interested
Only one male college stu
dent in II is willing to try SELL
ing as a career. Three-fourths
Of male students consider SELL
ing at best only a Job, at worst
q racket.
OF the SO per cent of to-
days college males who already
have decided on their careers,
only 5 per cent have chosen
sales.
Most of the 2,356,0OO men
now enrolled in colleges and
universities think of selling Ell
ther as an unrewarding, low
status occupation or they don't
think of it at all. Only 100000
are taking business courses
and 1000 to 5000 are major
ing in marketing.
The biggest objection of the
students to sales work is that
1T is forcing people to buy
things they don't need" An
joft-repeated comment is: IF
people want things they know
where to get them; selling fills
no economic need" This re-
mark reflects lack Of under
standing of what selling is
all about.
The magazine Sales Manage
men this spring commissioned
a leading research organization
to conduct a survey on selling
as a career in 1913 colleges
