international trade) where
localities and the interests Of
constituencies have their ef-
feet. At the same time that
the differences among the
Republicans are easily dis
cernible, similar differences
even stronger-exist among
the Democrats on certain
measures. With little more
than a third of the Senate
membership. the Republicans
at best will have a tough
time making their influence
felt on legislation proposed
by the New Frontier adminis-
tration, especially when the
Republicans themselves are
not acting wholly together.
This same difficulty showed
up in the last session Of
Congress.
Foreign Policy Issue
= In the field Of foreign pol
icy, always a tough one for
an opposition party because
frequently it does not fully
know of the purposes Of the
administration until a def
mite stand has been taken, 1t
is possible the Republican
Senators may be asked to
make a statement clarifying
the party's position. This also
will, if it is made, necessar-
lily be a broad statement
without going into too much
detail. The natural ten
dency, once a President has
committed this country to a
certain course, is for the Ma
tion to back him up. But
the Republicans may, If they
desire, state what they con-
slider the attitude of a loyal
opposition"
There is also the question.
for the Republicans, Of how
wise is coalition action with
the more conservative Demo-
Gratis, and to what extent
should such a coalition 60.
The party does not wish
merely to be a party of ne
cation. If possible, the Re-
publicanS prefer to step out
and, if they cannot actually
lead, at least sound a call
for progress. That a coali-
tion-or unity of action-be-
tween the Republicans and
the conservative Democrats,
mostly from the South, has
proved valuable in blocking
unwise legislation and appro-
prlation on many occasions
is in the records.
A weakness Of the Repub-
lican Party has been its fail
ure to prove itself valuable
to the masses of voters in
the big population centers. If
the G. o. P. is to elect a
majority in either Senate or
House, or both, it must elect
more members Of Congress
from those seemingly impreg-
nable metropolitan areas. So
what the Republicans do in
Congress must be carefully
considered by any Policy Com
mittee. There has been no
sign that tra-conservatism
has made any real headway
in these big population CEN
tiers, Notwithstanding much
talk of a conservative trend"

diSsenter may help the coun-
try, but it may not advance
the interests of the Republic

Teddy's big Stick" policy
may well have been ill-ad-
vised. One Latin American
country, at least, Brazil, did
think enough of TR to ask
him to explore some OF its
trackless wilderness. Even to-
day you will see maps Of
Brazil with a tributary of

Theodore Roosevelt! Roose-
welt, Furthermore, was quite
efficient in certain areas Of
foreign policy. After all, only
one other American has ever
won the Nobel Peace Prize.
TR'S domestic policies were
very advanced. He was the
greatest conservationist ever
to sit in the White House.
His objective, uncommitted
attitude toward major labor
management disputes, has
never been approached by
any President since his time.

President!
Harding and Coolidge I'll
never defend. Let me merely
say that they reflected the
public outlook of their time.
Hoover, though, is quite a
different matter. Many his
torians are calling Hoover
the Father of the New Deal"

it for beginning the Good
Neighbor Policy.
Mr.. Eisenhower, as Mr..
Fitzpatrick says, is too close

Good Men Come to the Aid of Their Party

John B. Fitzpatrick's let
ter, Americas Dark Age"
presented only one side in at
tacking Republican Presi-
dents and their administra-
tions.
The domestic ineptness of
the Grant administration,
for example, was matched
by the superb diplomacy of
Secretary Of State Hamilton
Fish.
The 1873 election probably
would have been equally
questionable If Tilden had
won. The situation in 1873
was dangerous and could
have resulted in a new civil
war if intelligent men had
not brought off a brilliant
and complicated compro-
mise. Hayes was committed
to withdrawal of troops as a
plank in his campaign plat
form.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick, signifi-
cantly, does not mention Re-
publican Chester A. Arthur,
rated one of the most cou-
rageous Presidents by Demo-
cratic President John F.
Kennedy.
James Garfield and Ben
jamin Harrison, whatever
their faults may have been,
did show great wisdom in
choosing James G. Blaine as
their Secretary of State.
Blaine was one of the real
founders of Pan American
ism and of reciprocity. He
was one of our very greatest
Secretaries Of State.
Mckinley, as a Congress-
man, sponsored some really
important legislation. His fa-
nous tariff, for example,
was the first American tariff
to provide for raising and
lowering Of rates by the
President. AS President, he
backed his aStute Secretary

Inc common cause of all
cancer anywhere is some dis
organization of the molecule
of deoXyribonucleic acid.
There are many apparent
starting causes - radiation,
continued irritation of tissue
and the like: Some malig-
nant growths start without
any apparent cause whatso-
ever that Psychologists can
find. But underlying all is
the fact that in some way
they modify the substance
which makes a cell develop
normally in the exact pattern
of its anceStorS-which de-
termines that a skin cell will
give rise to more skin cells
and a blood cell to more blood
cells.
This deoxyribonucleic acid,
it lately has been found, is in
all the billions of cells that
make up the body. It is the
stuff that in some way forces
a cell to develop in the same
pattern as the one from which
it split in the process of
growth. In some complex way
it carries information from
parent cell to daughter cell
a "code," Psychologists call
it. 1t is "the law" which,
generation after generation,
prevents growth anarchy.
Cancer is essentially growth
anarchy.
New Approach
This is reported by DR..
Frank L. Horsfall jr., director
of the Sloan-Kettering In
stitute for Cancer Research,
who says cancer, no matter
what the inducing agent, is
ultimately the result of a
change in this nucleic acid
of the affected cells"
General acceptance of this
concept, he says, has provided
a new route through which
to approach in an orderly
way with new tools and tai
ents the problem of the
causes of cancer in man. 1t
is now a major part of the
research of the Institute,
probably the worlds foremost
organization in the fight
against malignancy.
Appearance of a cancer
cell is like a black baby sud-
denly born to legitimate white
parents, or vice versa, the re-
port points out. 1t seems like
a complete violation of ma
lures laws, but the fact is
the law has been thrown
aside.
According to widely accept
ed current concepts the acid
is a large molecule built up
of three sub-units-a sugar,
a phosphorus group and a
nitrogen group. These are
strung together in a very
long chain and the code"

With the election of Sen
ator Bourke B. Hickenlooper
of Iowa to the Craftsmanship
Of the Republican Policy
Committee of the Senate, the
dominance of the Midwest
and West in the Republican
organizations of both houses
Of Congress has become more
pronounced. Senator Hicken-
looper has succeeded the late
Senator Styles Bridges of New
Hampshire in this important
Craftsmanship. On the Senate
side of the Capitol, the Re-
publican floor leader is Sen
ator Everett M. DirkSen of
Illinois, and the Republican
whip is Senator Thomas H.
Kuchel of California. The
chairman of the Republican
Conference of the Senate re-
mains Senator Leverett Sal
tonStall of Massachusetts, de-
feated by Senator Hicken-
looper for the Policy chair
manship. In the House, the
Republican floor leader is
Representative Charles Hal
leck of Indiana, and the Re-
publican whip, Representative
Leslie C. Arends of Illinois.
The Craftsmanship of the
Republican Policy Committee,
combined with the Bridges
personality and long service
in the Senate, enhanced the
influence of the New Hamp-
shire Senator in Republican
senatorial affairs. Senator
Bridges, though extremely in
dependent, was a strong arm
on the conservative side of
the Senate G. o. P. The new
chairman of the Republican
Policy Committee is we'll
qualified also to exert influ-
ence on party positions when
important issues come before
the Senate. He already has
asked his Republican COL
leagues for suggestions on
procedures by the Policy
Committee. In the meantime,
he is continuing the Bridges
committee format - with
weekly meetings of the COM
mittee to which all Republi-
can Senators are invited.
Policy Statements
The new chairman has in
mind, however, the advisable
ity of G. o. P. senatorial
statements on general poll
cieS-basic to Republican be-
liefs-which may be issued by
the Policy Committee. There
are, after. all, a number OF
fundamental issues on which
all the Republican Senators
find themselves in agreement
for example, on sound fl
nancing and economy in
Government operations. OBJ
viouSly, the chairman will not
seek to emphasize differences
which do exist in the party
when examination is made OF
the stands taken by such
conservatives as Senator Bar
ry Goldwater of Arizona OF
by Senator Javits of New
York, progressive Republican
So, it seems unlikely that
any attempt will be made to
get a declaration of policy
by the Republican Senators
on specific measures which

of nucleic acids, including
the law-carrying DINA. Can
Ger cells in general proliferate
more rapidly than normal
cells, and hence are more suS-
ceptible to such effects. Some

them very susceptible to such
agents and limiting their USE

However, says the report,

explained on the basis of
growth rate alone. The rea-
son is a major objective Of

Draw Red Fire

SAIGON, Wet Nam, Aug. /
(AP) A hail of tracer bullets
greeted "a United States hell
copters today as they ferried
a 740-man Wet Namese force
into a Red guerrilla zone north
east Of Saigon.
None of the helicopters was
hit, and no government casu-
alties were reported.
Results were modest. No Wet
Cong we're reported killed, al
though four prisoners we're
taken.
Heavy automatic fire opened
up as soon as the helicopters
reached the target area near
the village of Thanh Hoa, rs
miles northeast of here.
Landings were made in a
small clearing in the jungle,
and a combined army and
ranger force quickly famed
into the jungle.
Air support was supplied by
single engine fighters, fighter
bombers and spotter planes
with United States advisers
aboard. The planes strafed and
dropped napalm into the area
before troops were unloaded.
Objects of the mission was
to find out what has happened
in some deserted villages. The
missing villagers, controlled by
the Wet Cong guerrillas. are
believed to have gone under
ground.

West Berlin to a swamp that

playing down the helicopter
threat. as they have since it
was made on Monday. 1t was
not disclosed until newsmen
got wind of it last night and
started asking questions. Nor
has there been any word from
Communist sources.
The protest gave Moscow an
easy out in case the Soviets
want to damp down a crisis.
The note implied that the So

threat was not acting in full
accord with Mai. Gen. Andrei
I. Solovyev, the Soviet COM
The threat was made in the
Berlin Air Safety Center, where
the chief Soviet representative
is only a Northumberland.
Some American officials
would favor defying the Soviet
threat by making flights deep
over East Berlin. A spokesman
said, however, that routine
flights would continue to be
made when and as needed.
There is also the opinion
that the West can best show
that it has right on its side by
keeping up just its normal pat
tern of activity.
