Muted May Day

Soviet Defense Minister Rodion Y.
MalinovSky-a man who seems to have
been born with built-in look Of GRIM
ness, though he may actually be light
hearted, has given voice to some very
harsh and mendacious anti-American
words in his speech at the annual May
Day rally in Moscow's Red Square. In
effect, he has accused the Western DOW
ers, led by the United States, of plotting
to launch sneak nuclear assault on
the USSR.
More specifically, Marshal Malin-
ovsky has grossly distorted and misrep-
resented some remarks attributed to
President Kennedy In a recent magazine
article. He has done so by declaring
that the remarks have proved" that
"the United States would not hesitate to
start preventive atomic war against
the Socialist countries" Beyond that, he
has assailed America for stepping up
the arms race, organizing military pro-
vocationS, creating dangerous seats Of
tension in Western Europe, Latin Amer
lea and Southeast ASIA" and In general
matching plans for a surprise rocket
nuclear attack on the Soviet Union :"
All this, Of course, does great vio-
lence to the truth. And it seems espe-
cially dishonest and reprehensible be-
cause Of its failure to acknowledge Mr..
Kennedy's unequtvocal and emphatic
diSavowal Of the Communist interpre-,
tation Of his statements in the contro-
verSial magazine piece. Still, Marshal
Malinovsky has aSSailed the President
and called upon the armed forces and
people Of the Soviet Union to show
around-the- vigilance against the
possibility, If not the probability, that
the United States might strike out
against them, without warning and in
the most devastating fashion, at any
moment.
Taken by itself, the Malinovsky
speech has certain ugly and ominous
ring to it, as II 1t were propaganda
deliberately calculated to prepare the
Russian masses for some dangerous new
Soviet adventure in anti-American
craftsmanship. Nevertheless, although
such possibilities cannot be ruled out,
the fact remains that the marshal's
remarks have merely echoed the hack
neyed party line. The fact remains, too.
that May Day in Moscow has turned out
to be relatively muted affair, with
far more emphasis on the need for
progress In agriculture and industry
than on the military.
True, there may be less significance
in this than meets the eye, but 1t at
least suggests-particVlarly because
Premier Khrushchev has let May Day
pass without his customary verbal pyro-
technics the Kremlin, despite
Malinovsky's bristling speech, might
really have some interest In wanting
to relax international tensions. If so,
then maybe the world In the weeks
ahead will enjoy the experience of a
real abatement of the cold war.

costro's Ransom Bid

In my opinion money con-
tributed toward the $50 mil
lion ransom for approx
mately 1,179 prisoners in
volved In the Bay Of Pigs
invasion last year will be the
same as giving aid and COM
fort to the enemy. The ran
som for each prisoner ranges
from $25,000 to $500,000.
Otherwise, q 30-year prison
term.
The very nature Of the
project is nauseating and
downgrading. It is an insult
to the integrity and patriot
ism Of the American people.
Our morals are being tested.

However, Fidel-one way or
the other-will use the cur

nism's grip on Cuba and

May none Of us be de-
ceived into giving one penny
to help Castro. our sworn
enemy and eradicator of
freedom.
The good sense of United
States citizens should not be
overcome with dramatic ap-
peals from the released

piece Of legislation, and one

Republican State Chairman
D. Eldred Rinehart, both

then the candidates must at
tract independents and some
Democratic voters, or be
aided by the refusal Of some
Democrats to vote at all

feuds. Win or lose in the
primary, he will be found
fighting for the election Of
Republican candidates. So
much Of his campaign fire
is laid against the Demo-

Nixon of California in 1851

SchooI-Fure Subsidy

In your endorsement Of
the school fare subsidy
(April -, you point out that
the city should subsidize re-
duced-rate bus fares for
school children (rather than
the transit riders). This Is
true, but you fail to point
out that the city Is already
Subsidizing the company in
tax exemptions to the tune
Of over q million dollars a
year. The rates were calcu-
lated on that basis, and no
reduction to the transit rid
ers by reason Of the assump-
ton of the school-fare
burden by the city Is con-
templated.
The bill is further defec-
tive in guaranteeing the
company q percentage return
on its gross revenues" (ac-
tual revenues plus subsidy.
For example, the amended
bill guarantees the company
a return Of 4.9To until the
next rate case. This means
q return Of 5.15So on its ex-
penses including income
taxes. Surely it Is an unusual
arrangement when the local
taxpayers, in the name Of q
school-fare subsidy, help pay
the company Q return on its
income taxes. It is Q new
kind Of income tax return.
The return the company Is
now getting Is adequate and
needs no new contribution by
the local taxpayers. The sub
sidy bill should be defeated
since it does not relieve the
transit rider Of the school
fare cost, and is not neces-
sary to making the company
ian attractive investment"

Strike for Peace

SSH ENG bOb S0SG
No matter how hard the
Women's Strike for Peace
organization or any other
such group try to deny 1t.
the only real deterrent to q
war with an enemy such as
we face is to keep UP our
knowledge Of newer and
more effective methods Of
protection.
With typical ultra-left
wing logic, the Women's
Strike for Peace tries to shove
down the throats Of the
American public the idea
that If we stop our tests,
Russia wouldn't dare. In the
face Of free world opposi-
ton, to resume theirs. Khru-
shchev has shown how
much he wouldn't dare do
something ''in the face Of
Free World opposition" a
dozen or so times in the past,
but this naked fact does not
seem to penetrate.
The Women's Strike for
Peace would have us swallow
the notion that no matter
how much knowledge the
Moscow scientists obtain by
their tests, no matter how
far they pull ahead Of US in
the development of nuclear
technology, no matter how
much the rest Of the world
halls our determination not
to back down. even when
threatened with another Ge-
neva walk = out, President
Kennedy was still horribly
misguided" when advised to
resume testing.
What pleasant m music 1t
must be to the ears Of Khru-
shchev to hear the clatter Of
clicking heels cavalcading
around the gates Of the
White House; how much like
poetry those professionally
printed posters the women
carry must read to him, for
this only gives him another
chance to "prove" to the rest
of the world the old Red
line that only q handful Of
warmongering capitalists de-
sire continuous conflict, not
the American people them
selves"
But the danger Of this or
ganization does not stop
here. Not only are they, and
other extremist movements,
denying our President the
national unity and moral
support he so desperately
needs in these times, not
only are they adding propa-
ganda fuel to the furnace Of
the Radio Moscow lie ma
chine. but also they are try
ing to frighten US into the
belief that peace Is worth
any price" I'm confident the
American people are not
about to accept.

Probability Of living organ

on the neighboring planet
have been debated for more
than o century. but with very
little factual basis for the ar

not 90 different from those on

Conditions Different
Present expectations Of
Goddard Center scientists
fall quite short Of more en-
thusiastic speculations. Con-
ditions on Mars, as compared
to the earth, must be quite
austere. It Is much colder be-
cause IL Is 30 much farther
from the sun. The atmos-
phere, because Of the smaller
size. Is much thinner. There
Is no certainty Of the pres
ence Of substantial amounts
Of water. But the space SCI
entists would be the first
to admit they do not know.
Mars, like the earth, has
polar caps composed Of ice
crystals which almost dis
appear during the Martian
summer. The color Of the
surface also changes with

cations Of extensive dust

'Bfqhted Areas

A study Of three large cities
illustrates, quite emphati-
cally, the effect snbstandard
housing has on an area.
In Los Angeles, "bltghted
areas" cost the taxpayer 81

fire department services and
125 per cent more In health
services-while yielding only

one-fifth Of the city's popu-
lation, paid II per cent Of the

cent Of the city's budget for
health services and II per
cent for police protection. 1t
also produced 26 per cent of
the fires, 36 per cent Of the
juvenile delinquency, AZ per
cent Of the adult crimes and
76 per cent Of the tuberculosis
cases. Louisville, KY, reveals
that police charges were az
times as high, welfare costs
IA times as high and visiting
nurse calls four times q;
high as in the other, more
affluent, respectable and res
idential sections Of the COM

Start Again.!

How well / recall how
Washington baseball fans
were interviewed In the press
after 1t was announced that
Calvin Griffith was taking
the Senators to Minnesota.
Many Of them said they were
glad to see them go while
expressing undying loyalty to
the new Senator's and owners,
even before the team was
assembled. Judging by the
reaction Of the fans to the
departure Of the Griffiths, it
seemed that the new Mats
would easily draw more than
a million fans. for many
promised to support the team
faithfully for several years
while q contending team and
possibly a winner was being
slowly developed. But most
of these fans who swore such
loyalty to the Mats whom
they were going to support
during the five or six years 1t
took to develop a winner have
forgotten all about their rash
statements. The honeymoon
may soon be over and the
two major leagues may be
obliged to abandon their 10
team leagues.
What should be done2 My
suggestion Is to go back to
Steam leagues, add four new
cities next year to Join the
four newly created major
league franchises (New York
Nets, Houston Colts, Los An
geles Angels and Washing
ton Senators) IN o new g.
team league in which the
teams would be pretty evenly
matched. The four new cities
could come from the follow
ing group: Dallas Fort
Worth, Buffalo. Toronto,
Montreal, Seattle, New Or
leans and Atlanta.
After having watched more
than $50 baseball games in
Washington since l945 ! am
amazed at the failure Of some
of the local baseball writer's
to realize that not all Of the
fans who attend the Yankee
games here are not loyal Nat
followers. Most Of the fans
who come to see the Yankees
are Yankee followers who at
tend only Yankee games as a
rule and who make fun Of
the Senator's as they play like
amateurs against New York.
Another. type Of fan who
comes to see the Yanks play
the Mats is the fan who goes
to see the top team in base
ball regardless Of who Is on
top and the Yankees usually
are. This fan does not care
who wins. All he wants to do
is to see the best team In the
league In action,
I would like to see an end
TO the farce Of having four
has-been teams competing
against 16 established teams
for the championship. Let's
face it, fans. The Mats will
never be q winner or even a
contender in the American
League. Their only chance is
to get 0 start in q new Steam
league with teams in their
own class. w. HetzeI.

Some Form of Life on Mars Debated
BY THOMAS R. HENRY

subject to extremes Of tenn
perature. Conditions may be
somewhat similar to those
that might be found on o
high desert plateau. such as
the Cobb Desert In Asia.
The known conditions, at
their worst, are not such as
to preclude some Of the low
er forms Of earthly life, such
as bacteria, algae, perhaps
fungi. But evolution on Mars,
as on earth, has been In
progress for several billion
years and some Of these lower
forms may well have evolved
along lines Of their OWN
even to mobility and intelli-
gence.
Man From Mars?
The man from Mars is not
an impossibility but an i'm
probability. Even the first "fly
by" space capsule may go
far to giving an answer. The
Goddard scientists have not
yet gotten around to consid-
erations Of actually putting
q human being on the planet,
although this Is looked to as
an eventuality. It probably
viii be q much more complex
operation than putting o man
on the moon.
The telemetered Mars OBJ
servation program, as now
planned, viii continue for at
least four years. Much more
time must elapse, it Is prob
able, before q man can be
sent there. The first human
should find conditions which
at least viii enable him to
live. perhaps move around q
little, without artificial aids.
There has lately come con-
crete evidence Of the possi-
bility Of Marian life. The
spectra of the reflected sun
light from the plant have
some lines indicating that
some Of the light has been
reflected from materials
which, on earth, are closely
associated with living things.
This, however, is not neces-
sarily the case and the ma
terials can exist easily
enough without having been
absorbed by anything alive.
With the very slight ac-
cumulations Of evidence to
date. the probability Of life
on the inhospitable neighbor
planet is considered greater
today than at any time in
the past. Search for It is q
major part Of the space biol-
ogy program Of the Goddard
Center. II
On earth life has spread
to every environment where
it is remotely possible. from
the greatest depths Of the
sea, great heights Of the at
moSphere, perpetual black
ness under the earth. There
Is no reason why it may not
have survived on Mars, pro-
vided it ever got started
there.
