Vote of Confidence

The commentator and assurance
of support which the Citizens Crime
Commission of Metropolitan Washington
has. given Police Chief Murray are both
timely and fully justified. 1t is no secret
that there are individuals and organiza-
tions within the community whose So
called liberal views on law enforce
nient do not coincide with those of the
Chief. Nor is there any doubt, as Com
mission Chairman Robert E. Mclaughlin
says, that mounting presSures are being
exerted on Chief Murray, some Of them
in the hope that if he is harassed suf-
ficiently he might retire to accept some
other job.
Thus far Chief Murray has shown
no signs of succumbing to such pres
snres. 1t is gratifying, however, that
group with the stature of the Citizens
Crime Commission has taken note of
this harassment and has commended
Mr.. Murray'S leadership as "the most
significant and outstanding Job in the
history of the Metropolitan Police De-
partment." The record of the depart
nlent during the last II years, we be-
lieve, sustainS this judgment.
=. Mr.. Mclaughlin, who as former
District Commissioner is far more aware
than most citizens of the problems fac
ingthe Police Department, has explained
that the purpose of his organizations
action was to let Chief Murray know
that certain segmentS of the city will
back him up all the way" We feel GER
tain that this is an attitude shared by
the overwhelming majority of Washing
ton residents.

UpheovuI in Paris

Life on the international scene with
Charles sde Gaulle has not been easy.
For all its trials and tribulations, how
ever, it is greatly preferable to return
to the chaotic days when French gov
ernments rose and fell in such quick
succession that France, in sense, was
almost without government.
The 39-vote margin by which the
National Assembly approved a motion
censuring Premier Pompidou, thereby
indirectly censuring General de Gaulle,
was larger than expected But 1t does
not by any means signify that the rebel
lious deputies have won the battle.
Presumably, General de Gaulle will
proceed to dissolve the Assembly and set
a date for new elections. Before the new
deputies are chosen, however, French
voters will have passed on General de
Gaulle'S proposal for constitutional
amendment under which future presi-
dents would be elected by popular vote.
If President de Gaulle wins this test, and
he has made it popular vote OF con-
fidence in himself and. his record, then
1t should be possible for his supporters
to win majority Of seats in the new
Assembly. If not, if the De Gaulle pro-
posal should be defeated, the General
has indicated that he will resign, and a
hostile Assembly presumably would be
returned to Paris.
AS between these alternatives, the
hopes of the West will be riding on Gen
eral de Gaulle. Difficult though he can
be, and will be, return to the shabby
and Intellectual French politicking of the
pre-De Gaulle era would be disaster.

appointed. If not, however, there surely
are other capable citizens In Prince
Georges County who are qualified to
fill the post. Even though Prince
Georges politics are in state of up
heaval, there has been ample time for
a decision to be made. And 1t is difficult
to believe that the County Council by
this time does not have candidate in
mind. Why the delay? Why is the
Council apparently so anxious to "let
things ride" as one member put it,
until after the November elections?

VISTAS IN SCIENCE.
Body May Shelter Harmful Viruses
By THOMAS r. HENRY

There is increasing evi-
dence that disease-causing
viruses may be stored in the
body for a long time without
any outward manifestations.
All the time, however, they
may be passed on to others.
This may explain sudden
epidemics of diseases such as
cholera. Demonstrations have
announced through the bio
logical sciences division OF
the Office of Naval Research.
The study has been a major
activity in the biological re-
search program. The phenon-
enon might be an impor-
tant factor in any future
biological warfare.
Particular EN- p h a sis"
says an Office Of Naval Re-
search report" has been
placed on research into basic
factors underlying infections
caused by micro-organisms
introduced into the host by
the respiratory route. 1t in

ity of micro-organisms to
survive and retain their viru-
lence under different envi-
ronmental conditions.
"Other studies are designed
to find methods for rapid de-
lection and Identification OF
airborne micro-organtSms
In cooperation with the Bu-
reau of Medicine and Sur
gerry, the office of Naval Re-
search is supporting research
dealing with host susceptible
ity and resistance and para
sites involved in certain
exotic diseases of interest to
the Navy.
Further Research Steps
"It has encouraged the de-
velopment of germ-free an
imals and is supporting re-
search on basic host-para-
site relationships, such as
mechanisms of infectivity
and antibody production
other aspects of basic micro
biology which will contribute
a better understanding OF
host-parasite relationships
and to improve means for de-
Tending against biological
warfare are microbial genet
les, physiology, metabolism
and virulence factors"

Four sailor volunteers have
just completed two weeks in
a revolving compartment as
part of an Office of Naval
Research test to see how well
a man can adjust to prolong-
ed rotation at close quar-
terS.
The experiment was car
ried out in a slow rotation
room at the School for Avia-
ton Medicine at Pensacola,
Fla, and will help investiga-
tors determine a rotation rate
for future manned space sta
tionS.
Two Dizzy Spells
Only at the beginning and
end of their 336-hour spin
did the men experience diz-
ziness. The initial spell lasted
Just a few hours, before the
men became accustomed to
the unusual environment.
Upon completion of the test
the sense of balance was af-
fected by the change over
to a motionlesS state. This
i'll effect disappeared the fol-
lowing day.
During the period of rota-
ton a close watch was kept
for any i'll effects that might
develop. This was done
through performance an d
medical tests, lasting about
eight hours each day, which
checked any changes in bal
ance reflexes, memory, alert
ness, coordination ana over
all physical condition. The
test, as analyzed to date,
indicate that the physical
and mental capabilities Of
the men were not lessened
during the travel" Results
of some of the performance
tests, in fact, seem to indi-
cate a gradual improvement
in capability over the two
week period.
Further experiments now
are planned at different
speeds and for longer inter-
vals.

A. Computations vary con-
siderably because persons
who have made the count
apparently have not always
agreed on just what consti-
tutes a word. For example.
a compound word may be
counted as one word or two.
One widely accepted esti-

Warning to Statesmen

10 Cne IeW lnC6lleCLudlS
who have the time and curl
osity to read or re-eXamine
the neglected favorite book
of our grandfathers, its sig
nificance as applied to con-
temporary national and in
ternational affairs is strik-
ing. Take the story of King
Solomon, in the First Book
of the Kings. Here was a
head Of state whom we, in
our youth. regarded as the
quintessence Of wisdom. His
clever judgment determining
which of two claimants for a
child was the mother; his
visit with the Queen of She
ba; his shrewd marriages into
the leading families of po-
tential threats to his king
dom; the erection Of mag
nificent public buildings; all
this stamped him in our ju-
venile mind as the sagest of
history's statesmen.
A re-reading brings out the
utter failure of Solomon in
the basic political problem of
maintaining the strength of
a young and vigorous nation.
Heavy taxation Of his sub
jects, required for the elabo-
rate public works program,
imperceptibly Impoverished the
people. The tolerance grant
ed his wives and their ret
inues to worship their own
gods and retain other native
customs resulted in q CO.
existence with alien ideolo-
gies which, according to the
writer's account, Subverted
the nation. Finally, when his
son came to power, the latter
paid no heed to the advice
of the elders to lessen the
burden upon his subjects. Re-
hoboam listened to the
younger "egg-heads" of his
day - "the young men that
were grown UP with HIM
who convinced him that he
should emphasize his power
by increasing the citizens
burdens Il Kings IL. 6-14.
He ignored the voice of logic
and experience, youthfully
choosing the novelty and
exhilaration of experiment.
The precept, honor thy ia
ther and thy mother, thy ell
ders, we scorn today as Re-
hoboam did. During the as
tendency of Western Chris
tian civilization this story,
with its seemingly unsophisti-
Gated philosophy, was a
we'll known and accepted
warning to statesmen.
Just now we are being told
that we may well learn some
thing from a study of Rus
sian education and progress.
Is it significant that the Rus
sian Communists, who preach
science. act from philosophy?
They talk the science of
Marx" but they practice the
sound logic of Clausewitz.
Perhaps one lesson is that
we. also, have our philoso-
pliers, whom we followed,
with some success, in the
past.

THE POLITICAL MILL

By GOULD LINCOLN

lead in world affairs will be
riding on every ballot"
Mr.. johnson said elections
in this country for nearly 10
years have produced "one of
the free worlds great am
biguities." He said former
President Eisenhower, q Re-
publican, and President Ken
nedy, a Democrat. have en-
joyed great personal popu-
larity but have lacked the
"sure and solid" support of
decisive majorities from their
own political party. He added
that President Eisenhower
could count on a Democratic
majority in Congress to sup
port him when the interests
of America we're at stake in
the world" But, he said.
President Kennedy faces a
large Republican minority"
which he can count on only
being in opposition, because
it is in the nature of the
Republican Party to oppose.
And then Mr.. Johnson con-
tinued: Republicans are say
ing: We miss Ike What
John Kennedy misses are the
kind and quantity of Demo-
Gratis Ike had to work with
when he was in the White
House"
Slap at Some Democrats
Considering that the Dem
ocrats have today two-thirds
of the s sens a te membership
and a three-to-two majority
in the House, this would ap-
pear to be a hard slap at a
considerable number of the
Democrats in the House and
Senate. And, indeed, many of
the Democrats in these bodies
have joined with Republic
cans to block some of the
Kennedy bills. These are con-
servative Democrats from the
South, with a sprinkling from
the North and West.
Gen. Eisenhower, durin g
the last six years he was in
office, had to face not a Re-
publican but a Democratic
Congress. Had he had Repub-
lican majorities similar to
the Democratic majorities in
Congress which Mr.. Kennedy
has, the legislative history
would have been vastly diff
ferent during those six years.
In those years he had plenty
of Democratic opposition to
his proposals, although the
Democrats supported him on
national defense and In world
politics, as the Republicans
today are supporting Mr..
Kennedy on such issues.
Gen. Eisenhower, no longer
in office, has become the

spokesman in this campaign.
Mr.. Kennedy is making him.
self the chief national Demo-
cratic spokesman. 1t remains
to be seen whether the Ken
nedy personal popularity can
be transferred to the Demo-
cratic candidates for Con-
gress and for Governor in the
States he invades. The same
uncertainty applies to the
Eisenhower influence on the
voters. Presidents in the past,
when they have tried, have
not substantially influenced
elections in the off years.

Soviet Base in Cuba

American boys were ex-
pendable to prevent the
spread Of communism to
South Korea. In view of the
Korean debacle, why is moth
ing done when communism
rears it's ugly head right at
our very front door, Cuba?
Not only does our Govern
ment appear to ignore the
spread of communism to this
island, whose independence
from Spain was secured with
our help, but to rationalize
the landing Of 5000 troops,
teachers, technicians, or Rus
slams by any other name,
as a purely defensive meas
ure for Castro. Are we really
expected to believe Castro
needs 5000 mercenarieS to
protect his regime from count
er-revolutionaries? f.
Having visited the USSR
in 1859, my impression is
that the people themselves
are as afraid of their gov
ernment as some Americans
appear to be. How can you
deal with gangsters whose
only stock in trade is force
of one kind or another?
Personally, I agree with the
pacifists that war is the worst
kind of solution to any prob
lem, but peace-loving nations
are often unalterably driven
to this extreme in resolving
differences with tyrantS and
tyranny.
We have a fishing fleet Of
Russian spies off our shores,
yet these same people were
hilariously indignant about
our U-2 planes violating
their security. Do the paci-
fists think they really are
here to catch sea-baSs and
porgies or are they preparing
for WV III? Those who seek
peace at the price of liberty,
seek a fools paradise and
should pay for it themselves.

RIGHTS Trend

It Is more than a fortu1-
tous concourse Of events that
announcement was made ST.
multaneously of the defeat OF
Representative James c. Da-
Wis In the Georgia primary
and of the release Of the re-
port of the United States
Commission on Civil Rights.
Both of these developments
indicate the increasing tempo
in the trend toward a more
significant and proper par
ticipation of the Negro in
American society. The re-
placement of Representative
Davis removes from the
House one of the pillars OF
race segregation. The elimi-
nation of housing discrimina-
ton in accordance with the
commissions recommended
ton would blast away the
granite base upon which rests
so much of the color segre-
CATION now rampant in our

Adequate augmentation

When 1t comes to politics,
the Kennedys don't do things
by halves. The President this
week end is off on a whirl-
wind tour - by plane - to
three Midwest States and to
Kentucky to bolster, If he
can, the election chances Of
Democratic candidates for
Governor and for the Senate
and House. At the same time,
Vice President Lyndon B.
johnson has been on the
hustings, speaking in the Far
West, California and New
Mexico, a trip which began
in nearby Maryland. In both
cases, the speeches of the
country's two leading elected
officials have been purely po-
litical. This is not the first
of the Presidents political
forays in this fall campaign.
He made a kickoff trip to
West Virginia and another
into Pennsylvania. 1t is un-
derstood that the Chief Ex-
ecutive and Vice President
will maintain a swift political
pace until election day; No
vember 6. In addition, other
high officials of the Kennedy
administration, in clu din G
members of the cabinet, will
be on the road.
Not many Presidents have
engaged in "off year" cam
paigns-when the Presidency
is not at stake-to such a de-
gree. The very fact that Pres
ident Kennedy has taken on
this job as the leader of his
party emphasizes the impor-
tance of the 1862 elections to
the President and the New
Frontiersmen. Both the Pres
ident and the Vice President
are Stressing the need of
more Democrats in the House
and Senate more Democrats
of the kind the administra-
ton needs. Also President
Kennedy is hoping to equal a
record set by the late PreSi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt
an increase of his party's vot-
ing strength in Congress in
an off-year election. The rule,
save this exception, has been
a loss of congressional a.
strength by the party in con-
troll of the White House in
such elections. If Mr.. Ken
nedy can reach this goal, he
will be well on his way, it is
