Democratic nominee for United

/, ,Heve will be another Kennedy.
D. The Lodges and Kennedys
have been opponents in the
political wars of their home
, State for years.
- The main issue today, as the
,party's State convention meets
to indorse a slate of candidates,
d is between George Cabot Lodge,
34=year-old son of Henry Cabot
Lodge, former Ambassador to
the United Nations, who once
held the Senate seat at stake
in the fall elections, and Rep
resentative Laurence Curtis, a
69-year-old veteran in public
office.
The senior Lodge lost the
, seat in 1852 to President Ken
needy. 1t comes up in November
for the two years remaining
of the second term the Presi-
dent resigned in 1860 after he
won the national election.

I Am Guilty.

This is what James D. French
thought-and said. But the Oklahoma
Court of Criminal Appeals was not about
to accept any such simple plea.
French was serving life term for
1859 murder when he Strangled fell
low prisoner last year. He made no at
tempt to deny that he was guilty of this
second murder. In fact, he wrote to the
Court of Appeals saying, II am guilty"
At his trial for the second murder,
however, French was brought into the
trial court handcuffed and Shackled. 1t
is possible that he was considered to be
dangerous. But the appellate court, I'M
der an Oklahoma statute decreeing that
a defendant should not be tried in
chains and ShackleS," reversed the con-
viction and ordered a new trial The
learned judges said that this self-con-
feSsed murderer had been deprived Of
fair trial, and that to permit his con-
viction to stand would be to tamper
with the inherent liberties Of man."
We confess to a certain bafflement
as to the precise meaning Of this lofty
conclusion. 1t leads US to Believe, how
ever, that Mr.. Bundle was right when
he came forth with his inelegant COM
ment on the law.

Defense Minister Krishna Menon boast
ed of it as an example of what India
could do to other "enemies"-even in
Guiding Red China, which was making
aggressive moves on the northern from
tiers, And not long ago the New Delhi
government made plans for an anniver-
sary stamp to commemorate this I'M
worthy adventure.
Mr.. Menon has now been retired
from official life, as direct consequence
of his demonstrated incompetence as
Defense Minister. And happily the New
Delhi government has also dropped its
plans for issuing a stamp that would
commemorate only an unwarranted ag-
erosion under the Menon standard. The
wrong has not been righted, and may
never be, but 1t is better at least that
it is not to be further "glorified."

Mail Early!

BY and large, public confidence In
the dependable and speedy processing
and delivery Of the mail has been at a
high level Even dog owners whose dogs
don't like postmen have taken sides
against their own four-footed friends
and have tried to explain, as man to
dog, that the fellows in the gray uni
forms are only carrying out "the swift
completion Of their appointed rounds"
1t has been repeated, for example, that
mot snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom

they would better be greeted with wag
of the canine tail than with barred teeth.
This is still a sound position, and
perhaps even more so with awareness
that the mail itself is subject to delays
back in our main city post office because
John Barleycorn has been exposed as
messing up the smooth handling OF the
local Christmas cards, bills, catalogues,
ct cetera. We agree, seriously, with Post
al Regional Director A. E. Newton that
this is a serious matter" and we hope
that the postal authorities can run Bar
leycorn right out OF the office Further
more, we admire their frankness in ac-
knowledging the problem publicly-and
we'll have another stern talk with our
dog the next time he barks when he
should have wagged.

When Roques Fall Out

Outside the Communist bloc coun-
tries, the party of Lenin and Marx has
its largest and most influential hard
core representation in France and Italy.
In recent nationwide elections in France,
for example, Communist candidates for
the National Assembly drew total of
nearly four million votes (although all
were not necessarily cast by party mem
berS) and the well-eStabliShed Red
movement in Italy has strength eSti-
mated at close to two million.
1t is noteworthy that the leading
spokesman of these two substantial frag-
mentS of communism have now taken
their places under the Nikita Khru-
Shchev banner in the open airing of diff
ferenceS between Moscow and Peking.
They have, in fact, been even more
frank in identifying Red China itself as
the "SubverSive" member of the Com
munist family than have the Kremlin's
own leaders, who have chosen for the
most part to direct their fire at Albania,
where the Picking line is echoed.
The latest of Mr.. KhruShchev's al
lies to speak up is Maurice Thorez, Mos
cow-trained chief of the French Com
munist Party. Both China and Albania,
Mr.. Thorez said in speech few days
ago, "have gradually embarked upon
SubverSive activities directed at bringing
about a SchiSm in the international
workers movement" Earlier this month,
Giancarlo Pojetta, top lieutenant Of
the party in Italy, charged the Chinese
Reds with "meddling" in Italian Com
muniSt affairs and with attempting to
split the movement worldwide. Through
the columns of Pravda, Moscow has duly
publicized this evidence of diSsension
among the comrades.
With all this, Mr.. Khrushchev him
self still laid the dispute most clearly on
the line in his December IL address be-
fore the Supreme Soviet. In essence, the
difference is simply that the Khrushchev
clique believes communism can defeat
capitalism without nuclear war, whereas
Mao TSe-tung and his puppet partner
in Albania, Enver Hoxha, have little
patience with methods short of all-out
conflict. Particularly CALLING to Peking,
apparently, was the KhruShchev remind
er that the paper tiger" Red China's
terms for the "imperialist" countries of
the West, "haS nuclear teeth"
1t would be foolish for the West to
count upon any great advantage in this
MoScow-Peking rift. For both Commu-
mist camps are avowed enemies of ours.
Still, it is a pleasure to view their in
creaSing bitterness toward each other.
We wish neither of them well.

SpecuIutions on Jupiter's Makeup
By THOMAS R. HENRY

Jupiter, mystery to astrono-
mers for three centuries may
be IAN island in an ocean Of
liquid hydrogen.
This explanation was pro-
posed at a recent planetary
symposium Of the National
Aeronautics and Space Ad-
ministration.
The mysterious spot has
a horizontal extent Of more
than 10000 miles. 1t usually
is dark red but sometimes Is
white, due to being covered
by ammonia clouds. 1t moves
slightly over the course Of
centuries. over decades, says
the NASA report. upward
currents generating the white
ammonia clouds alternate
with downward currents in
which the clouds melt away.
This purely meteorological
phenomenon could account
for the variable appearance
of the spot.
At least a tentative expla-
nation of the spot, according
TO the report at the SYM
postum. can be sought in the
mode or origin Of Jupiter.
After the sun had con-
densed," says the report, "a
solar nebula occupying the
space OF the present solar sys-
TEN remained behind.
THE planets condensed out
OF this flat, rotating nebula
which contained gas and dust.
The dust prevented solar ra-
diaton from reaching far into
the nebula which became ex-
tremely cold. AT Jupiter's
distance this temperature
may have been about 200 c.
Hydrogen Crystallized
AT this temperature hy-
drogen condensed into crys-
tails OF hydrogen snow,
whereas helium remained
gas. BY a SNOWFALL process
the hydrogen, as well as
stony and iron dust was
swept into one solid body
while helium stayed behind
for some time In interplane-
tary space and later was coll
lected by Jupiter on top OF
It's solid hydrogen core 10
form It's atmosphere"
But. concludes the report.
so little is known about this
strange planet that II is not
even clear that is has a sur
face. The base Of the Jo-
Wan atmosphere may blend
imperceptibly into a gaseous
and then a liquid region Of
gradually increasing density.

The bulk Of Jupiter's mass
probably is composed of solid
hydrogen. On earth the light
est of gases, this is COM
pressed into a solid by the
enormous gravity of the plan
ct. This was reported at a
recent symposium held by the
National Aeronautics and
Space Administration on the
giant of the solar system,
larger than all the other
planets combined and with a
diameter IL times that Of the
earth.
Under conditions on Jupi-
ter, according to the report.
the hydrogen would remain
solid at temperatures up to
1000 Fahrenheit. Such a tenn
perature, due to the great
pressures, well may exist de-
spite the great distance from
the sun.
Actually, according to re-
ports presented at the SYM
postum, Jupiter's center may
be a rocky core no bigger
than the earth with a thick
everything hydrogen envelope
and a thin gas atmosphere,
probably Of ammonia. The
physics and chemistry Of the
great planet, says the report
Of the symposium, must be
completely alien TO those OF
better known bodies such as
the moon, Mars and Venus.
Radio Noise Storms
A great mystery Of the
planet. II was reported, are
the great radio noise storms,
occasional bursts Of radio
signals with a frequency Of
1000 megacycles and a wave
length Of 10 yards. These
storms are extremely intense.
The energy released corre-
spends 10 the repeated ex-
blossoms OF hydrogen bombs
at a rate Of one a second.
Until recently this radia-
ton was believed TO stem
from lightning strokes pro-
duced by enormous Jovian
thunderstorms, but this theo-
ny now has been abandoned.
The atmosphere near the
planets surface, II was re-
ported. probably consists OF
gaseous am monia. above
which there are ammonia
transforms and then a cloud
deck OF ammonia ice crystals,
about 80 miles thick. A few
miles below the ammonia
clouds there may be water
clouds.
