Such an effort is under way
this month in the nationwide
campaign-June l through is
for public support for the
construction of the Salk Insti-
tute for Biological Studies.
Millions of posters in public
places, mailers in home letter
boxes, coin collectors and can
listers on counters everywhere
proclaim, "You Can Build the
Salk Institute for Biological
Studies for Life, Healt
and Humanity"
Youngsters who, as polio
Pioneers" helped prove the eff
fectiveness of the vaccine de-
veloped by DR.. Jonas Salk, are
expressing their gratitude for
their protection from crippling
polio with contributions in
school envelopes.
People everywhere are proud
1y wearing tiny microscopes in
their lapels, symbolic of their
gifts to provide building blocks
for a great new laboratory of
life.
Millions of Americans, who
won a great victory over one
dread disease-paralytic polio

and other scientists, welcome

TELLING A BIG STORY

For the first time wholesaler and retailer
associations are joining to tell the story of
the American food industry. The occasion
will be the Fifth International Food Con-
gress, the place the New York Coliseum, and
the time September of this year.
1t is expected that several hundred thou
sand people will visit the planned $4,000
exhibit. The purposes are twO-frst, to
dramatically present to the American pub
lie the stSfy of the contribution of mass dis
tributione to a safe, healthful, inexpensive
and varied food supply; second, to give Wis
itors from abroad information which will
enable them to emulate the American sys-
tenn, to the advantage of their peoples
Endeavors like this are all to the good.
We-tend to take the American system of dis
tribution for granted-and thus to overlook
the remarkable services it performs for all
Of us, and its superiority over systems pre-
vailing elsewhere. And what is true Of food
is true of mass retailing generally. 1t would
be good idea if producers and retailers in
all the many fields joined together to tell
their respective stories as the occasion Of
fers. It's a big story, and it's worth con-
stant repetition.

DINA and RNA

The real purpose of this week s
column is to call attention to the
wonderful possibilities of tn e
education: DINA, which stands for
deoXyribonucleic acid; and RNA,
which stands for ribonucleic acid.
These are two new and very inn
porbant chemicals which the drug
companies are carefully studying
Also such companies as DUPONT of
Wilmington, Del. and the American
Cyanamid Company of New York,
which owns THE Lederle Labora-
tories. These companies are en-
deavoring to solve the genetic con-
nection between two chemicals
(perhaps male and female) which
may lead to the origin and con-
tinuity of life, Through the synlthe-
tic development of cells. Work ON
this is being done in conjunction
with the National Institute of Ar
thritis and Metabolic Diseases ait
Bethesda, Maryland They hop
the work can result in the manu-
facture of specific proteins, one of
life's most complex and important
molecules which appear in all
living cells of the brain. 1T is be-
heved that DNA is material of
which the cells of genes and chro-

PLAYING WITH FIRE

There is tendency in governmental cir
cles to take deficit spending by government
lightly and to believe that the solution is
just matter of raising the public debt
limit.
This country has been so concerned with
its own problems of finance that it has had
little time to observe the trials and tribula-
tions of Canada. Public financing and man.
ipulations of the dollar by the Canadian gov
ernment has caused Canada to face mon
etary crisis of major proportions which in
many ways dwarfs the financial troubles of
the United States.
The financial crisis of Canada came to
head when the government chose to lower
the value of its dollar by purchasing u. S.
currency and expanding the nations re-
serves on the theory that it would discourage
imports and encourage capital and indus
trial growth. Apparently something was
started by this devaluation of the Canadian
dollar that couldn't be stopped Canadians
started transferring their savings out of
the country and the Canadian dollar has de-
valuated to five cents below the American
dollar from a former five cents above
The deliberate devaluation of the Can
adian dollar was really only small portion
of the pressures behind its decline. AS Bar
ron's Financial Weekly said, :" the ero-
sion of the Canadian dollar is less the cause
of the country's woes than symptom of an
even more deep-seated malady the
easy-money something for everyone tech
nique that is all too familiar in the u. So, is
given as the principle cause of Canada's
troubles. Also overindulgence in deficit fl
nancing and the avoidance of any thought of
balancing the budget. Barron's added, mot
content with an extensive welfare program,
the government, for example, with view
to elections later this year, recently pushed
through Commons legislation which will in
crease the annual outlay for pensions by
some $133 million a year. Characteristical
ly, no provision was made for raising COM
pensating revenue"
On seeing Canada play with fire, Bar
ron's says, "In any event, the u. S. would
do well to check its own fire insurance"

RESULTS SPEAK

If Khrushchev's claim that the Soviet
economy will equal or even out-produce the
American economy in the foreseeable fu-
ture is to be realized, he'll have to pull some
mighty big rabbits out of a mighty small
hat.
A lengthy article in the New York
Times by Harry Schwartz tells the story.
In certain areas Soviet industry, driven by
the heaviest kind of official compulsion, has
made significant strides. But trouble spots
= abound. For instance, 1861 results were
below announced 1861 goals in such all-im-
portant fields as national income, labor pro-
ductivity, foreign trade, and oil production.
On top of that, the Soviets are under
going an agricultural crisis. Food produc-
tion just isn't adequate. Premier Krush-
chev himself has said as much in recent
speeches, laying special emphasis on an
acute shortage of meat-a commodity which
we have in abundance.
> 1t is to be expected that Soviet produc-
tion, measured on a pure percentage basis,
will expand more rapidly than ours in many
lines-for the simple reason that the Rus
slams are starting from far lower base, in
an economy of scarcity rather than one of
plenty. But in the basic felds-such as
steel, electric power and oil production
our superiority is enormous. Two systems
are now engaged in all-Out economic as well
as political war. The one is based on COM
petitive free enterprise, in which men and
institutions voluntarily attempt to outdo
each other. The other is based upon abso-
lutte government domination and decision
with coercion as the spur The results speak
for themselves.

eREVERSE ISOLATIONISM

In his recent statement and press con-
ference President De Gaulle of France ap-
peared to be proposing some rather funda-
mental changes in Western Europe and the
Atlantic alliance. The qualification is nee
essary because the French leader speaks in
such grandiose terms that his precise mean
ing is sometimes obscured.
De Gaulle acknowledges that the alli-
ance of free nations in the West must be
maintained $50 long as the Soviets threaten
the free world" But then he goes on to as
sert that there has been a profound change
in world conditions during the 13 years
since the alliance was formed. Then, he
notes, the United States unquestionably held
a dominant position because of its nuclear
weapons monopoly, whereas now the Soviet
Union also has great nuclear strength.
This is true. But whether De Gaulle's
conclusion-that consequently u. S. nuclear
protection of Europe can no longer be wholly
counted on-is warranted is another matter.
But De GauleN does draw that conclusion,
and proposes that France and other nations
in Western Europe make themselves more
capable of their own defense and less de-
pendent on the United States.
At first glance, this looks like kind of
isolationism in reverse, with western Eu-
rope envisiOned as more or less standing
aside from the quarrels of the United States
and Russia. 1t is hard to conceive that other
nations in Western Europe would go along
with this concept. 1t is even hard to con-
ceive that this is really what De Gaulle
, means.
Fortunately, the French leader does not
always act as he speaks. There is a good
chance that despite all his talk of less de-
pendence on u. S. power, he will recognize
the value of maintaining the alliance not
only in name but in reality.

HANDCUFFS AND HANDOUTS

Just about everyone has heard the old
saying that "he who pays the piper calls
the tune
A perfect example is found where gov
ernment does the paying-and it's true of
small matters as we'll as big.
Oregon, for instance, once used yellow
dividing stripes on its highways. These,
most motorists found, were easier to see at
night and under bad weather conditions.
They were distinctive, too, and acted as
guides to tourists.
No more. For the federal government is
paying most of the costs of major highways
and Uncle Sam says that all highway
stripes must be white. Uncle-taxpayer-
filled pocketbook in hands the boss.
It's also been proposed, in order to
brighten the landscape, that Oregon bridges
be painted in bright colors. But Uncle with
his 50-state rule book, wouldn't accept that
either.
The point is that handouts come with
the handouts.

BABSON DISCUSSES EDUCATION

ture of protein necessary for edu-
cation and life. This is done in a
way similar to the dots and dashes
in the Morse Code spelling out
over 10000 meaningful words from
only 26 letters of the alphabet. In
short, every child has the equiva-
lent of 26 letters, but the child s
future depends on the arrangement
of these letters (or molecules).
Proper feeding of the Retarded
1t is believed that the child S
system might be directed to pro-
duce normal brain cells or per-
haps even brilliant brain cells.
These experiments may lead to the
possibility that educators will COM
bine psychology with chemistry
and the use of TV. My grandchil-
dren may be given capsules as
part of their education, or they
may be exposed to seeing proper
TV programs from the time they
are three days old This may seem
revolutionary, but l believe it win
happen to give us better memory
and Judgment
When this time comes, teachers
will have no trouble obtaining in
creased salaries because taxpayers
will recognize that the efficiency
of education is increasing while the
cost per capita is being reduced.
DINA and RNA and TV may do for
education what fertilizers are do
ing for agriculture These chemi-
calls may enable all students mot
only the retarded) to become much
more brilliant, and better citizens,
i'm a shorter time and at less cost.
In fact, by exposing all babies to
TV there may be no retarded"
children.

Babson Park, Mass, May 81.
There dis much criticism by tax
payers of the amounts that a r e
spent on education In almost every
school committee some one or more
members insist that education has
not increased in efficiency and in
reducing cost per capita. I, myself,
feel that my grandchildren o
through almost the same -edu-
cational routine as | did fifty
years ago. | am no educator, but
according to my reckoning m y
grandchildren are Obliged to spend
twelve years learning what l got
in ten years.
The Brain A Physical Organ
The brain may be basically n o
different from the heart, or t h e
stomach, or the liver. Certainly the
brain is made up of physical cells.
When something is the matter with
our stomach, the doctor gives S
capsules ito help remedy the diff
ficuEty. This sort of treatment,
however, has seldom been used for
retarded children. Only in a few
cases has physician been called
in. to help retarded children.
1t is now recognized that t h g
difficulty with a retarded child
may be his eyesight, or his hear
ing, or some other physical i'm
paiGmenIt. Hence, the child is giv-
en- glasses, or possibly a hearing
aid. We are also attempting o
help these children psychology
cally. These are steps that
have only recently been taken; but
good results are being secured by
these aids. Such work needs h e

ANTIPATHY TOWARD WELFARIsM


keep government out of education :.
Keep presidential power to a minimum :.
Get out of socializationp
That sums up the view of an overwhelm-
ing majority of the editors of the nations
smaller newspapers, as revealed in a sur
vey recently conducted by The American
Press. Typical of the general antipathy of
editors toward the whole idea of "welfar-
ism" is perhaps best exemplifed in the mat
ter of proposals to increase social security
payments to help provide for the hospital
needs of people over 65 years of age. Sew
eIfy-eight per cent of the editors were op-
posed to further government intervention.
By contrast "a per cent of the editors ex-
pressed preference for a voluntary non-gov-
ernmental plan to meet the medical needs of
tie aged-such as is now being completed
by the Blue Shield Blue Cross and the Am
erican Medical Association.
Judging by the comments of many of the
editors as quoted by American Press, ex-
pansion of government in the medical care
field was opposed for the same reason that
editors oppose government interference in
other fields-a deep and abiding fear of big
government and socialism.
Editors are highly individualistic lot.
The fact that they are near-unanimous in
opposition to government medicine, is reas-
on enough to taking another look at this
particular bureaucratic pill before swallow
ing it.

ANOTHER BOB TAFT

Another Taft is looming OH the national
landscape. The Ohio Republican primary
has nominated for congressman at-large
Robert A. Taft, Jr., son of the late senator.
He has been floor leader in the state House
of Representatives, post held by his father
before he went to the Senate
Robert Taft represents the fourth gen
GRAFTON of the family to go into politics. The
earlier Tafts served successivey in Grants
cabinet, as president and chief justice, and
as senator.
Tafts Democratic opponent is a new
conner in politics, whom the voters seem to
have picked out of the 10 aspirants because
his name is Kennedy. At the election Taft
will presumably stand or fall with the rest
of the ticket Some observers think that if
he wins and does reasonably we'll in the
House, his name might make him a good
prospect for the COP vice presidential nom
ination on 1864.
