to larger political adventures
In Nebraska, Mr. Seaton's imme-

outnumber Democrats In registration,
and Democratic capture Of the State
house in 1858 was that party's first
major breakthrough in many years
Democratic Governor Frank Morrison,

As Bad From Above

President Kennedy, according to
certain intelligence in our possession,
has added new dimension to the visual
offenses which are perpetrated upon
the Nations Capital by the continued
existence of Federal tempos.
Everyone knows that these cracker
boxes are unholy mesSes as viewed from
the ground. Now in letter written to
Major General u. S. Grant III, Mr..
Kennedy reveals that viewed from above,
as he skins over the Mall in his hell
copter, they are every bit as bad.
Mr.. Kennedy further adds the hope
that before long they will travel the
ultimate path of all temporary" things.
The trouble is that past Presidents have
attempted to advance similar hopes only
through indirect measures. Perhaps on
his next week end helicopter trip, as
the shackS stand stark and empty, the
President could carry along few bombs,
to be dropped one by one until both
bombs and shacks are gone. The
thought, as we contemplate the results,
is altogether satisfying.

Flight to Hong Kong

There have been some rather start
ling stories lately from Hong Kong
They have to do with refugees from Red
China. The Associated Press reports,
for example, that within the past week
over period of only four nights, more
than 10000 Chinese have poured into
the British Crown Colony from the
CommuniSt-run mainland.
This flight to the free world has
been going on for months past, and
1t apparently has included many hun
dreds of Peiping's supposedly loyal
troops. But the news about 1t has been
rather obscure and Spotty because Brit
ish authorities have thus far refused to
let reporters move into the frontier
crossing area. Even so, enough solid
information has been gathered to make
clear (D that there has been an extraor-
dinarily heavy exodus from Red China
to Hong Kong and (2) that the chief
reason for it is that the mainland's
agricultural outlook has filled great
numbers of Chinese with the fear of
literal starvation in the months ahead.
There is some suspicion that Peiping
lCoclI ldS OccH cLCOuIdSIlB GIllS OuGIIOW
in order to make things difficult for the
Crown Colony. Whether or not that is
true, however, the fact remains that
the situation adds up to a tragedy of
major dimensions This is so because
the British at Hong Kong, which is al
ready an enormously crowded city, have
rejected the refugees, all of them, re-
gardleSS Of what may happen to the
individuals involved. In Geneva, Brit
aims delegate to the United Nations
Refugee Commission has summed up
the situation by declaring that the
United Kingdom cannot escape the
highly distasteful" duty of refusing to
accept these people and turning them
back
AS the British have explained, the
basic reason for this is that Hong
Kong cannot permit itself to become
drowned" in a flood of refugees. The
tragedy still remains, however. The
many thousands of persons who con-
tinue to flee to Hong Kong, only to be
sent back to Red China, can hardly be
blamed If they feel sense of torment
ing bafflement and Illustration.

An Evil Flow of Oil

A short news story from Ceylon, an
independent island-nation within the
British Commonwealth and benefici-
ary of United States economic assistance
for more than a decade, directs atten-
tion to an increasingly important phase
of the Soviet Unions avowed economic
offensive against the West. It is story
of seizure by the Colombo government
of the major facilities Of three Western
owned oil companieS-two American and
enc British-and the transfer Of most
of their longtime market in Ceylon to
Soviet supplierS.
BY itself, Ceylon may be considered
of minor importance in the East-West
economic war-although the national
lied properties involved in this instance
have value Of about $40 million and
the facilities include marine bunkering
stations In a Strategically located all
weather deep-water port. The nationali-
zation procedure itself provides for COM
penSation, but without guarantee Of
when or how it will be paid.
Much more significant, however, Is
the fact that Soviet capture Of oil mar
ketS in the free world has picked up
speed during the past year or more and
threatens to become increasingly sue
ceSSful. It's Importance does not lie in
the potential monetary profits-indeed,
the Soviet sales are made at cut prices
that may not represent any profit as
such. They do, however, establish a de-
pendence upon Communist sources that
may permit substantial pressure upon
the industries, and as next step upon
the political decisions, of countries in
Asia, Africa, Latin America and even
Western Europe.
Senator Heating, New York Repub-
lican, recently called to the attention of
the Senate the sinister potential Of this
Soviet strategy. Second only to the
United States as an, oil producer and
with reserves that probably are greater,
the Soviet Union last year sent more
than two-thirds of Its export oil to non
Communist countries-at prices approx
imately 40 per cent less than 1t charged
customers in the nearby Communist
satellites. Ordinary commercial con-
siderations either are ignored entirely"
Senator Heating pointed out, "or are
given a low priority in the Soviet scheme.
=. Soviet advertising is false, its pric-
ing techniques are ruthless, and its Or
ganization Is the most monopolistic OF
ala state monopoly run by the Com
muniSt Party"
Against this background, the New
York Senator called upon our own Gov
ernment, and those Of the NATO and
Common Market countries, to increase
their vigilance and their counter-meas-
ures against this particular Communist
offensive. 1t is timely appeal to meet
a genuinely serious threat.

An Essential Tool

The strong support being given the
administrations overlapping bill at cur
rent hearings is highly encouraging. 1t
is particularly gratifying that such COM
petent and respected witnesses as former
Attorney General Francis Biddle and
former New York Supreme Court Justice
Ferdinand Pecora have joined in the
request for Federal law to permit the
use Of wiretap evidence in the courts
Mr.. Biddle, who is not one to take
lightly the constitutional rights of citi-
ZenS, told the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee that, although overlapping may
seem like Spying-"a dirty business if
you like"-the technique nevertheless is
an essential tool Of effective law en-
forcement.
And, with reference to the dirty
business" phrase, it is interesting to
note that it was Mr. Biddle who, in his
book on Justice Holmes, Natural Law
and the Supreme Court" set the record
straight as to Justice Holmes use of the
term. The book states: And it is
ironical to remember that another ia
nous expression of Holmes-'a dirty
business S'-uSed in connection with a
case involving overlapping, should have
been so often invoked by those who
opposed the practice, when in fact the
words were not used by Holmes with
reference to the act of tapping wire.
but to the use by the United States of
evidence obtained illegally, under law
OF the State of Washington which pro-
hibited overlapping"
The fact is that while tapping a
telephone line may be surreptitiouS
way of trapping a spy or kidnaper, the
national security and the security of
the public fully justifies use of this
essential tool" .s...

Fresh Republican Faces

Republican hopes of introducing
some fresh and attractive faces on the
national political stage received encour-
agement in two recent primaries. In
Pennsylvania and Nebraska, the G. o. P.
confirmed its preferences for guberna-
torial nominees who are removed, in
some degree at least, from past identi-
fication with "stand-pattism" or any
other aspect of a too-tired political
philosophy. The two are Representative
william Warren Scranton in Pennsyl-
,vania and former Secretary of Interior
Fred A. Seaton in Nebraska.
For the longer term, it is no secret
that Mr.. Scranton, A, represents strong
Republican hope. His political assets are
substantial He. is, for example, person
able, wealthy and youthful-qualities
which have been Of great value to Pres
ident John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Demo-
crat. Mr.. Scranton's vote-getting abil
tiles prior to this weeks primary had
been tested only once. But that success
full race for Congressional seat in 1860,
a year of nationwide Democratic vic
tories, indicated an appeal at the polls.
OF significance, too, is the fact that
bitter factional battle in Pennsylvania
Republican ranks was resolved only
when Mr.. Scranton agreed to make the
primary race,
The next test will not be an easy
one. Richardson Dilworth, former Mayor
Of Philadelphia, won the Democratic
nomination for Governor, and though
he has been a sometimes controversial
political figure Mr. Dilworth has estab-
lished his ability as a vote-getter. AL
though there also has been factional
division among the Pennsylvania Demo-
Gratis, it is q certainty that the party,
both statewide and nationally, will make

to run Mr.. Ribicoff for Sena-
tor-with his agreement of
course. However. the charge
Of 'boSSiSm" already has
been made in this maneuver.
The Kennedy administration
is anxious to head off q Re
publican victory In Connecti-
cut next November. And
John M. Bailey, Democratic
National Chairman and also
the party's State chairman,
Is heartily in favor Of a
Ribicoff nomination for the
Senate.
KOwalski Seeks Primary
At least one Connecticut
Democrat is pretty sore about
the arrangement-CongreSs-
man-at-large Frank Kowal-
ski. He had announced his
candidacy for the senatorial
nomination early. He insists
that he will demand q prim-
ary conteSt-which he can
do If he receives 20 per cent
Of the convention vote. Con-
necticut has q large number
Of voters of Polish blood. If
Mr.. KowalSki sticks to his
guns. it might bring a serious
rift in the party. He has sent
word he will demand q pri-
mary. and he firmly believes
that he will have more than
the necessary 20 per cent of
the convention votes. He is
vigorously campaigning in
Connecticut now. If a pri-
mary Is held, it will come
early in September. Unless
Chairman Bailey can bring
sufficient pressure to bear in
favor of Mr.. Ribicoff, it looks
like q real fight is in the
making.
The race for the guberna-
torial nomination among the
Republicans continues un-
abated. The two leading con-
tenders, now that Mr.. Lodge
has definitely announced he
will be a candidate for the
Senate, are former Represen-
tative Edwin H. May. jr.. of
Wethersfield, a former
COP. State chairman. and
John D. AlSop Of Avon,
president of the Mutual In
surance Co. Of Hartford.
Both claim they have strong
support, and both claim vic
tory in the coming State
convention.
There are four other
candidates, all of whom have
some following: Anthony E.
Wallace; speaker of the State
House of Representatives:
former State Senator New
man Marsilius. State Senator
John M. Lupton and State
Senator Peter P. Mariani.
| Both Mr.. May and Mr.. Al
sop have announced firm de-
termination to stay in the
race for Governor and not
to be enticed into the sena-
torial picture. The brisk
fight among the Republicans
is due to the fact they really
believe the COP. can carry
the State this year. The
Democratic nominee for
Governor is expected to be
Gov. John N. Dempsey. who
inherited the States finan-
cial problems from Mr.. Ribi-
coff when the later resigned
to come to Washington.

Super Mechanical Brain in Making
By THOMAS R. HENRY

of how brain function Is re-
lated to brain structure.
A powerful 160-million
electron volt proton beam
from the Navy-sponsored
cyclotron at Harvard has
been used, the Navy an
nounces, in a pioneering ef-
fort to treat a deep-seated
human brain tumor.
The patient was q q
year-old girl found to be suf-
fering from q brain tumor
which doctors considered in
operable and fatal. But dur
ing q six-week period the
powerful beam was focused
three times on the tumor.
Since then the growth has
shrunk 80 per cent. The child
has gained 8 pounds and
now is back home where
she plays happily with other
children and has an emo
tional and motor performance
compatible with her age"
The only symptom that re-
mains is q mild visual de-
feet. The final outcome of
the procedure, however, can
not be considered Q COM
plete success until she has
been under observation for
some time. She will be x
rayed again in about four
months to determine If there
has been further shrinkage
of the tumor.
Penetration Controlled
Very broad application of
the proton beam In surgery,
however. already are pre-
dicted. It does away with the
surgical hazards Of bleeding
and blood poisoning. The
protons in the beam are ac-
celerated to such high en-
ergies that they penetrate
deeply into tissues. The
largest concentration Of en-
ergy is concentrated at the
end Of the beams range.
The radiation Of the pro-
ton beam, according to the
report, can be controlled so
that it does not penetrate be-
yond the target area. All this
means that the normal tissue
through which the beam must
pass is spared from the ef-
fects of the full force Of the
beam.
Use of the beam eliminates
the need of opening the skull
and exposing the brains
surface. The research is sup
ported both by the Navy and
the National Institutes Of
Health. Eventually, 1t is
hoped. it will eliminate the
need for several other kinds
Of surgery. A long period Of
careful evaluation. however,
must precede any such use.

Senator Prescott Bush's
decision not to seek re-
election has stirred Connect
icut politics with q big spoon.
But more important, it means
the retirement of a United
States Senator worthy Of the
name. His wide experience in
the financial and business
worlds was valuable to the
Senate Banking and Currency
Committee and to the Joint
Economic Com mittee Of
which he Is q member. and to
the Senate Armed Forces
Committee. A great worker
always, Senator Bush has
won both the respect and
affection Of his colleagues.
He is retiring on the advice
of his physician and because
of his own unwillingness to
continue in office, unable to
carry on his work as he would
wish to do. Although he faced
a hard campaign against the
expected Democratic nomi-
nee, HEW Secretary Abraham
Ribicoff, Sen. Bush's chances
of victory had been growing.
He defeated Mr.. Ribicoff in
the senatorial race of 1852
by $4,000 votes, and was re-
elected In 1856 by 131, 900.
Mr.. Ribicoff left the office
of Governor last year to
accept appointment to the
Kennedy cabinet. Taxes have
been increased in the State,
and other issues have cropped
up against the Democratic
administration.
Three to Seek Seat
Until his announcement
Wednesday. the denomination
of Senator Bush at the COM
ing Republican State Con-
vention June 4 had been
taken for granted. He was
without opposition. A vigor-
GUS race for the COP.
nomination for Governor
with seven candidates taking
part, has been underway.
One of them, former Gov.
John Lodge. has now shifted
and is a candidate for the
senatorial nomination. Two
other candidates for Senator
also have announced Rep
resentative Horace Seely-
Brown, jr., and former Rep
resentative-at-large Antoni N
Sadlak.
Mr.. Lodge, who defeated
Chester Bowles for Governor

Ribicoff in 1854. Mr.. Lodges
two terms as a member Of The

years as Governor and six
years as Ambassador to Spain

A new kind Of machine
brain, designed to duplicate
to a greater degree the opera
tions Of the human brain,
now is being developed.
1t is designed to go much
further than the marvellous
electronic m a C hines for
mathematical computations,
which seem to be getting
more wondrous all the time.
This one is designed to learn
and think, just like the in
finitely complicated human
brain, and one Of its objec-
tives is a better understand
ing Of mans own cerebral
apparatus.
This machine is the per
ceptron," upon which re-
search now is in progress at
several institutions over the
country. It already has been
taught successfully, accord
ing to a report from the
Office Of Naval Research,
under which much Of the
work Is co-ordinated, to read
English and Russian letters
and to recognize aircraft
silhouettes. If successful 1t
could be used for all sorts Of
recognition chores, such as
scanning photographs.
Interesting Prospects
Scientists long have sought
a model for the human learn
ing process and here the per-
ceptron offers some inter-
esting prospects. In the
learning situation the brain
model is shown a lighted let
ter, for example "a" II the
machine responds on its dis
play board with a pattern Of
lights shaped like the letter
it is given reinforcement in
the form of electrical i'm
pulses. This is similar to the
reward motive in human
learning. It learns, tests have
shown, in as few as 10 trials
or as many as 1000.
The PERCEPTION is an ex-
tremely complex combination
of photocells, memory units.

Basically it consists Of a
"retina" Of photocells which
are connected by wires to as

which in turn can be con-

the machine.
Admittedly the PERCEPTION
in its present state is an
enormous simplification Of
the human brain structure;

that ultimately it will open
