The Charleston local Of the

NEW YORK, Dec. 81 (AP).-
A $125.000 settlement was
reached today in a half million
dollar suit charging that a vita
min deficient baby milk formu-
la caused a child to become
mentally retarded.
Brooklyn Supreme Court
Justice Benjamin Brenner an
nonuced his approval Of the
settlement offer made earlier
this month by American Home
Products Corp.
The baby formula involved
was known as Liquid S-M-A.
which was produced and dis
tributed by Wyeth Laborato-
ries. a subsidiary Of American
Home Products.
The formula was withdrawn
from the market in 1858 after
the Food and Drug Administra-
ton reported that 1t was defi-
cient in vitamin B-6.
Birth Called Normal
A Brooklyn couple. Frank
and Mildred Cervo. brought
the suit. claiming their daugh-
ter Jo-Ann. now 10. became
mentally retarded after being
fed the milk formula.
The child now attends a
school for mentally retarded
children.
Attorneys for the couple said
the child was q normal baby
when she was born In st,
Mary's Hospital in Brooklyn in
1852.
She suffered convulsions
eight months after her birth,

was taken TO a hospital where

Music Hath Charms

The enthusiastic reception given the
Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra here
last Sunday serves to remind that there
is welcome warmth in one sector of ex-
changes between Communist Russia and
capitalist United States. 1t was in an
early stage of the Cuban crisis last week,
for example, that Soviet Premier Khru-
Shchev joined another enthusiastic au-
dience, in Moscow, to applaud American
opera baSSo Jerome Hines for his per-
Torrance in MouSsorgsky'S opera, Boris
Gudonov. And it was during the same
crisis, in the United Nations, that the
delegates of all member nations observed
the organizations seventeenth birthday
by filling the General Assembly hall to
hear the Leningrad orchestra and Rus
sian violiniSt David OiStrakh. The Boil
shot Ballet and Russian pianist Vladi-
mir AShkenazy are among other talented
Russians now on tour in the United
States, while the New York Ballet Com
pany and the Robert Shaw Ghorale are
popular visitors in the Soviet Union.
To those who are managing the cultural
exchange programs of the two coun-
tries it is a good moment for some
off-stage applause.

Buy Christmas Seals

Within a short time householders
will begin receiving what has become
almost as traditional as the season it
self-the Christmas Seals distributed
annually by the tuberculosis associations
all over the country. In the Washington
area alone, 10000 contributors gave
$4,000 last year. Nationally, the dona-
tions reached $2.25 million.
This year, for an altogether differ
ent purpose, the Post Office Department
is for the first time issuing Accent
Christmas stamps. These are simply gay
postage stamps, the same as any used
for mailing letters OF course, the Post
office hopes many will be sold to help
reduce the department deficit.
That is well and good. But it would
be disappointing if generous and ha-
bitual buyers of the TB Christmas Seals
dropped this custom because of the dec
orative postage stamps. The tuberculosis
rate in the District area is the fifth
highest among large cities, and all but
per cent of the revenue from local
TB Christmas Seal sales is used here
for combating the disease through
examinations, treatment, education
and rehabilitation. Christmas postage
stamps are fine; Christmas Seals save
lives.

for arms from the United States or from

FoIIocies of Bertrand RusseIrs PHILOSOPHERS

There is widespread belief
that Lord Bertrand Russell'S
"better-red-t doc
trine springs from great
philoSophic insight, but &C
tually his philoSophic repu-
tation has been built up by
pandering to the modern fad
of scientism, with its subver-
sive undermining Of moral
religious principles and the
degradation of the spiritual
courage that derives from re-
ligious faith.
Lord Russell breaches that
human nature has always
been the same in all ages.
and that the idea of moral
progress is a myth.
Instead of viewing human
life as a struggle to build up
a divine order of justice and
brotherhood, Lord Russo IL
advocates applying the scien-
tific-empirical temper and
making decisions of conduct
on the basis of pure calcula-
lions of m a terial conse-
quences. So assured is he that
this calculus of consequences
is the proper and all-suffi-
Gent guide for human con-
duct that he blames all the
worlds troubles on fanatics,
who, according to him, make
the mistake of believing that
they can predict future con-
sequences with certainty.

went to Montreal and spent
two years riding exhaust-free

Arms to Awakening India

There are acceptable reasons for.
this Governments decision to supply
military equipment to India, despite the
latter's frequently anti-WeSt, or anti
American, attitude in foreign affairs.
India is today the victim, not the militia
tor, of aggression. 1t is an aggression
mounted by Communist China, and on
scale Of military power and preparation
that indicates detectives far beyond the
correction" of disputed frontiers.
Some of these possible detectives
have implications Of great Importance
to more than India alone or to the
small buffer states within the noun
famous border regions where fighting
currently is going on. Establishment Of
Chinese military command of the Hima-
layan range, which may in fact be
accomplished unless the Red invaders
are checked soon, could leave vulnerable
for another season of fighting the In
dian river valleys and lowlandS stretch
ing all the way to the Bay Of Bengal
and the Indian Ocean. Chinese pene-
tration to such point southwark would
split the Asian Subcontinent, and pose
new threats both eastward and west
ward.
If this theory of Chinese ambition
seems far-fetched, plausible justification
for it may be found in the reasoning
of one Indian analyst, P. c. Chakravarti.
The Chinese, he points out, are con-
WINGED of their basic superiority and
their capacity to become the foremost
Asian power. Already controlling
fourth of the Asian land mass, a vast
population and the second largest army
in the world, the Peiping government
has developed highly militant nation
alism in the country. Adding this eth
nic-territorial power complex to the
revolutionary zeal of communism, Mr..
Chakravarti continues, gives China "all
the ingredients which make a nation a
menace to others"
1t is clear, in any event. that, India
currently is outmatched militarily-a
condition that has been allowed to de-
velop under the administration of Prime
Minister Nehru, who confessed only the

The Vote for De GouIIe

President Charles de Gaulle has
done less well than expected in Frances
latest nationwide referendum. Even so,
disappointing as this may be, he has
done we'll enough to justify his remain
ing in office-which is fact that should
cheer the entire free world.
The referendum has been a thing
of the generals own devising, its objec
tive being to win the support of the
French people for a constitutional
reform under which the country's future
presidents would be elected by popular
vote, more or less along the lines of
our own American system. In other
words, the presidency Of France, the
with great new powers heretofore denied
to it, and this would serve as a safeguard
against the stupidity, impotency and
ear-anarchy that have so often made
the National Assembly in Paris, with its
too-numerous parties of every descrip-
ton, look like burleSque of itself.
1t seems clear enough, in any case,
that this multiplicity of parties and the
consequent lack Of parliamentary dis
cipline and common sense have been
largely responsible for the terrible polit
ical instability that has plagued modern
France for as far back as the mind
cares to remember. That is why General
de Gaulle, for the past four years or so,
has had the overwhelming support of
his countrymen, who are a people sick
and tired of being pulled this way and
that by innumerable political factions
making it impossible for any cabinet
to govern for more than a few weeks
or months at time. Charles de Gaulle
has stabilized things in that sense;
further, with touch of greatness and
grandeur, he has offered leadership Of
very high quality in period of i'm
menSe trouble and travail, including not.
least of all the Algerian war.
Despite this, however, every French
party except his own (the Gaullist
Union for New Republic) has sought
to inflict decisive defeat on him in
the referendum. To that end, all the
parties, including the Communists and
the extreme rightiStS, have worked in
rare unanimity. Their chief argument
has been that his call for a strong
executive might undermine the parlia-
mentary system and lead to dictator
ship of one kind or another, But the
voterS-presumably still remembering,
with contempt, the paralyzing failures
of Frances parliament prior to the as
tendency of General de Gaulle-have
backed his constitutional reform.
1t is true, of course, that nearly %
per cent of the French electorate has
failed to vote on the issue. Still, the
fact remains that President de Gaulle
has won the great majority of those who
have actually cast ballots, and he may
properly regard that as vote of conf
dence, which he well deserves.

Castro Hunqs On

The lifting for 48 hours Of our naval
blockade of Cuban ports, while Mr.. U
Thant is in Havana to arrange details
of dismantling the Soviet-built missile
bases, contributes to further easing Of
last weeks crisis. Unless some unex-
pected hitch develops, it should not take
the acting Secretary General long to
complete these arrangements, and at
that time, presumably the blockade will
be permanently lifted.
In this event the United States will
have attained its immediate objective
to get the missile bases and other often
sive weapons out of Cuba. Unfortu-
nately, this will still leave Fidel Castro
in control of a Communist outpost in
the western Hemisphere, although we
should think that Cuba'S future useful
ness to the Soviet Union would be greatly
impaired. Castro has been exposed and
discredited, and it is hardly conceivable
that he will be able to regain his former
stature in Latin America-even among
the left-wingers.
Nevertheless, many people, and in
particular the Cuban refugees in the
United States, are bitterly disappointed
by the fact of Castro's survival. Some
refugee leaders have gone so far as to
charge that this country has purchased
peace at the price of betraying the
Cuban people-an accusation that rests
more on emotion than good sense.
1t is true, of course, that invasion
plans have been suspended and that
President Kennedy has given his assur-
ance that Cuba will not be invaded If
Mr.. Khrushchev faithfully lives up to
his side of the agreement between the
two men. After the Soviet leaders ap-
parent capitulation, however, we do not
see how Mr.. Kennedy could have done
otherwise. The Presidents primary
obligation is to the American people, not
the Cuban people. And if an invasion in
the light of all the circumstances, in his
judgment, would not have served Amer
lean interests, it was his duty to decide
against proceeding with it.
With Russian support withdrawn,
Cuba will not pose military threat in
the Western Hemisphere. Castro will con-
tinue to be an obnoxious nuisance, but
that will have to be endured. This is
said, of course, on the assumption that
the Presidents assurance applies only
to the immediate situation. If Castro
should be foolish enough to commit any
overt act of aggression, he surely will
not be permitted to enjoy privileged
sanctuary in Cuba.
