THE POLITICAL MILL
Connecticut Races Important
By GOULD LINCOLN

While New York and Mas
sachusetts hold the center Of
the political stage today
their neighbor - Connecticut
lis the seat of a campaign
which may prove as signif-
icant as either or both of
them. Connecticut's nomi-
nations for congressional Of
flee and Governor were made
in July. Both parties named
their candidates for Cover
nor and Senator in State
conventions. Neither forced
a primary contest. The in
terest centers largely on the
outcome in the November
general election of a Senator
to succeed Republican Sena-
tor Prescott Bush, who is not
seeking reelection. Not only
is it important to the Repub-
licans to hold this seat, but
it is exceedingly important to
the Democrats and the Ken
nedy administration to win
the seat for former HEW
Secretary Abraham Ribicoff.
The Republican candidate is
Representative Seely-Brown,
who represents the I'd Con-
gressional District. The two
senatorial candidates are COW
ering the State like the dew
although the interest in the
campaign does not appear to
heighten materially. 1t prob
ably will not until after
the town elections and the
baseball Worlds Series.
Connecticut has been a
swing State. 1t may be this
year. At any rate, the Re-
publicans are encouraged.
Such issues as the stock mar
ket decline, the Cuban situa-
ton, Connecticut's financial
situation under a Democratic
Governor who has had to in
crease State taxes and who is
still faced with a prospective
$40 million deficit, the real
ruction in the Democratic
Party growing out of tn e
bitter campaign made by
Congressman Frank Kowalski
for the senatorial nomina-
ton, and the handling of the
steel companies by the Ken
nedy administration are un-
answered factors which could
make the State move to the
Republican side.
Thought Unbeatable
Mr.. Ribicoff has been con-
sidered unbeatable since his
reelection for Governor in
1858 with a lead over his
Republican opponent of
about 245, 900. But this year,
the situation has changed,
most observers say. A large
number Of Republicans, they
say, voted for him in 1858.
They are unlikely to do so in
November. He had made a
good Governor in his first
term and the Republican
candidate who opposed Mr..
Ribicoff in his bid for re-
election was a weak candi-
date who had been opposed
by many Of the more progress
Sive-minded members of the
party. Also, Mr.. Ribicoff,
when he resigned as Govern
nor to accept appointment to
the Kennedy cabinet. left the
State in debt-large debt
which in turn forced the
lieutenant governor who sue
ceeded him, now Gov. Demp-

j. w. Haywood'S letter
headed History Refresher"
does not go far enough in
mentioning the shameful
manner in which some Of our
ancestors dealt with the In
dians. For instance, how
many people know that slav-
cry began in New England
in 1887, and the slaves were
women and girls from the
Pequot Indian tribe, the men
of which had been killed off
in a war with the Puritans?
AS to Negroes not being in
cluded in the Bill of Rights,
they were omitted for the
reason that some of the new
ly liberated (from English
rule) Southern States might
have become Negro republics.
For example, Negroes out
numbered whites 2 to l in
South Carolina at the time
the Constitution was ratified.
People in far Northern States
where Negroes are in a de-
cided minority have no idea
how greatly the white people
of some Southern States wor-
ry about black supremacy.
In the matter of how Texas
entered the Union, Americans
owe no apologies to Mexico
nor do they need to make
any explanations to neutral
ist or Communist nations. In
the year 1920, which was
when American migration to
Texas began. there were only
about 5000 Mexicans in that
whole great area, and they
took absolutely no interest in
developing that potentially
great land. By 1886 there
were 10000 Americans-black
as well as white-in Texas,
and they had worked hard
and converted a great waste
land into something prosper
GUS and desirable.
So desirable, in fact, that
the Mexicans then, and not
until then, took notice. In
1886, Antonio Lopez de Santa
Anna. who by guile and mill
tary force had become the
virtual dictator of Mexico, de-
cided to enforce his brand of
Mexican law in TeXaS-par-
ticularly in the matters of
land grants and tariffs. This
made the Texans feel toward
Santa Anna the same as the
ColonistS of the previous CEN
tury felt toward King George
III of England. So, in March
1886, they came out with a
declaration Of independence.
Santa Anna took drastic ac-
ton, including the massacre
of every American in the
Alamo. 1t was then that
TIE nnesSe Gen. Sam
Houston rallied the Texans
and, shortly afterward, Santa
Anna was routed. He signed
a paper which granted Texas
its independence. 1t re-
mained independent until
1846 when it entered the
Union. Americans should be
proud Of Texas.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Lost Deep Ocean Current Found
BY THOMAS r. HENRY

Scientists at the Scripps
Institution Of Oceanography,
supported by the Office Of
Naval Research, have an
nounced discovery of a "lost"
deep ocean current - the
saturn end Of the Cromwell
Current.
This great undersea river,
first discovered in 1851,
courses eastward beneath the
equator; from the western
Pacific to the Galapagos Is
lands. There the great stream
which moves millions of tons
of water - more than a thou
sand MiSsiSSippis-has simply
vanished from the map.
DR.. John A. Knauss, Scripps
oceanographer who made ex-
tensive studies of the Crom-
well Current three years ago,
spent three weeks in the vi
cinity of the Galapagos. His
studies have proved, he says,
that the current does not
actually disappear but veers
to the north of the islands
and returns to the equator on
the east. 1t does, however,
change in nature - weaken
ing in force, shrinking in size,
and flowing several hundred
feet deeper. This change prob
ably starts well to the west
Of the Galapagos, the effect
of the islands being TO hasten
the decay of the current.
Unlike Other Currents
1t differs, DR.. Knauss says,
from any other known in the
worlds oceans. Unlike the
major surface currents, such
as the Gulf Stream, it carries
waters that differ in no great
degree from these on either
side. The Gulf Stream, for
example, carries warm water
from the tropics to the north
whereas the waters of the
Cromwell Current are not
notably warmer or colder than
those on either side of the
stream.
The waters of the Califor-
mia current sometimes can be
distinguished by the nature of
the creatures that live with
in it and are not found on
either side. But the waters of
the Cromwell Current do not
differ biologically, from those
on either side.
although h this current
travels across the entire Paci-
fic Ocean along the equator"
DR.. Knauss says, "it seems
possible that any given water
particle travels only a rela-
lively short distance within
the current.
Studies Of this remarkable
ocean stream will be con-

tinued under auspices both oi
the Navy and of the National
Science Foundation to deter
mine the forces responsible
for it and for its change of
directions.
An 85-foot radio telescope,
one of the largest in the
world, has been put in opera
ton in the remote depths
of the Lassen National For
est in California by the Uni
versity of California, under
sponsorship of the Navy.
It's job will be the extern
sive mapping of the 2,000,-
000,000-star Milky Way gall
axy, including it's mysterious
center. the gaseous hub
around which the stars re-
volve, which is completely
opaque to optical instruments
and about which essentially
nothing is known.
The antenna has been
especially designed to make
precise measurements of the
clouds Of hydrogen which
fill the galaxy. BY studying
the distribution of this hy-
drogen and tracing it's mo-
tions, the new telescope will
provide more detailed data
on the structure of the gall
axy and the way it changes
with time. The measurements
also will provide more infor-
nation on the way stars are
formed. AS the hydrogen
clouds condenSe to form a
new star, the gas eventually
heats up to a point where
nuclear reactions take place,
converting hydrogen into he'll
ium.
One Future Project
One Of the future projects
will be the study of hydrogen
clouds which are remnants
Of supernovae (exploding
stars) in the galaxy. AL
though a number of these
supernovae have been OBJ
served in other galaxies they
are too far away to give
much information. The ex-
ploSion of a star is a cata-
clysmic event, similar to a
fantastically gigantic ther-
monuclear bomb and sending
out intense radiations into
space. Only three are known
to have occurred on the
earth'S side of the Milky Way.
The new telescope, Navy
astronomers say, can study
the complete history of a
star from its birth to, in some
cases, its violent death.
The new telescope is one

sey, to call for additional
taxes. He hung onto the cab
met job until shortly before
the Democratic State Con-
vention in the middle Of July
in an effort to get the Ken
nedy medicare bill for the
aged passed by Congress. The
bill failed in the Senate, not
withstanding Mr.. Ribicoff's
efforts.
Irked at RibicOff
Mr.. Kowalski had entered
the race for the Senate NOM
ination early in the game. He
was incensed because Mr..
Ribicoff would neither admit
he was going to run nor take
himself out of the picture.
At one time, the KowalSki
supporters were talking about
him as an independent can
didate" If Mr.. Ribicoff we're
nominated. But at present it
does not appear that Mr..
Kowalski'S name will be on
the ballot. One report has it
that his friends circulated
petitions necessary to get him
on the ballot as an independ-
ent candidate and that they
may yet submit them. But it
is also rumored that not
enough signatures were OBJ
tained in some divisions of
the State. Still other reports
are that Mr.. Kowalski has
been offered or will be offered
appointment to a post in the
Federal Government. In the
State convention, Mr.. Kowal-
ski failed to get the necessary
20 per cent of the delegate
vote to demand a primary
election for the senatorial
nomination. The Bailey-Ribi-
coff organization proved too
strong. John M. Bailey, DEM
ocratic National chairman as
well as Democratic State
chairman went down the line
for Ribicoff.
Mr.. Ribicoff's ambition, it
was widely reported, was to
be appointed to the Supreme
Court, and he had his eye on
the seat occupied by Asso-
ciate Justice Felix Frank
furter. Mr.. Frankfurter has
now retired on account Of Ill
health and Arthur Goldberg,
Secretary of Labor, has been
appointed by President Ken
nedy to the place. Mr.. Ribi-
coff must win the senatorial
fight if he is to remain in
public service.
AS Connecticut's Governor,
he was one of the first to
support Mr.. Kennedy for Vice
President and then for Presi-
dent. President Kennedy car
ried Connecticut over Repub-
lican Vice President Nixon by
a material vote. Whether the
Kennedy favor in the State
can now be a winning factor
for Mr.. Ribicoff remains to
be seen. Mr.. Ribicoff is still
given the edge.
The other races in Connec-
ticut also are in the balance.
Gov. Dempsey is in a close
contest against Republican
Candidate John Alsop, there
are two or three doubtful
congressional districts. But
for the Kennedys, Mr.. Ribi-
coff's victory is still the most
desired. His defeat would be
a black eye. If it occurs it
will be a decided political up
set.

Traffic Surveyor

September IL letter from
Capt. r. w. Curtis seems to
indicate that there is a real
lack Of facts in the Route
66-Three Sisters Bridge con-
troversy.
1t is stretching the facts
pretty far to state THE Arl-
ington County Board is in
agreement that Interstate
Route 66 must pass through
Arlington County. :" The
real fact, as reported in The
Star on September 9. Is THE
board always has fought to
keep Route 66 entirely out Of
Arlington but that it has
been unsuccessful" The
board now finds that it has
been Unanswered by the Vir-
ginia and D. c. Highway De-
partments into q situation it
feels it must accept. 1t does
not want to challenge Route
Sc. for fear that this would
"antagonize" or "offend" the
Virginia Highway Depart
ment.
It is stretching the facts
to the breaking point to state
that IAN additional bridge
at the Three Sisters location
will be essential to accom-
modate the mammoth vol
umes Of traffic" The sim
pie fact is that Three Sis
ters Bridge and Route 266
must be built so that Route
Sc will qualify for Interstate
Highway Funds. It would
not otherwise qualify. be-
cause there would be no out
let for truck traffic since
trucks will be prohibited on
the Roosevelt Island Bridge.
Why is it necessary to
qualify for Interstate High
way Funds? The answer is
obvious-so that 90 per cent
will be paid by the Federal
Government
What about the mammoth
volumes" of traffic? Who
knows? Are there any figures
available to the public that
would justify the Three Sis
ters Bridge? The Virginia
Highway Departments public
hearing on Route Sc was held
in October, 1858, based on in
formation and data collected
before that date. Is it posi-
BILE that another hearing is
not wanted since public reve-
lation of the current facts
might reveal that the bridge
is not really needed?
1t hardly seems to be a
fact to state that District
highway officials have the
obligation" to build Three
Sisters Bridge. There is no
obligation to build the bridge
it merely fits into the plans
and desires of the highway
officials.
If "VirginianS, however,
predominantly will benefit"
is believed to be a fact, where
is the evidence? Perhaps some
will benefit. Will it be the
Arlington businessman whose
place of business is made
more inaccessible by a limited
access highway? Will it be
the thousands Of Virginians
whose homes will be taken
or whose property values will
be deprecated? Perhaps it
will be the remaining prop
erty owners whose taxes may
be raised to compensate for
the taxable property removed
from the tax rolls?
But now-The Star is a
great paper. 1t is noted for
its fair and objective report
ing. Isn't this a case where
the real facts would produce
a real public service?
I look forward to reading
your story.
