Compulsory health 1nSur-
ance failed in England be-
cause it promised too much
to too many for too little.
There was no more quid pro
quo than promising all you
can eat for a dollar. The
ADMINISTRATIONS social Sc
curity approach is a limited
liability health security pro-
gram providing the indispen-
sable for the most deserving
with the greatest liabilities
and the least resource. To
insist that many aged do
not need social insurance is
like saying a chain is no
weaker than its strongest
link.
The weakness Of the Kerr
Mills bill is that it Is not ma
tional legislation purposed to
provide uniform, noncan-
cellable, nondiscriminating
basic health security for all
aged. There is no second
chance or rebound for the
aged. 1t is the last mile for
those who as parents, work.
ers, taxpayers and defenders
created the plenty our pos
terity inherits. Surely it can
not be argued that the aged
in an impoverished State de-
serve less of the general
welfare than those living in
one Of greater wealth. Neither
can it be denied that the
Mills-Kerr approach will
create a parasitic bureau
cracy in every State to define
and screen eligibility. This
administration needs to do
more homework on its jerry
built attempt to let Walter
Reuther bargain collectively
for organized doctor-work-
ers. But at least the social
security approach has the
virtue of uniform national
standards with a national
definition of eligibility and
benefits.

Uninspected Cars

On March 20, an accident oc-
CURED in Montgomery County
that could have been pre-
vented. A panel truck plowed
into the rear end Of q station
wagon carrying 10 children
and almost completely de-
molished the wagon. Luckily
only one child was injured
in this accident. The trucks
brake lining broke as the
driver tried to stop behind
the station wagon which was
waiting to take Q left hand
turn, and If Maryland had
any kind Of inspection laws
on vehicles that defect could
possibly have been found
and repaired before this acci-
dent.
The District Of Columbia
and Virginia both have thor
ough inspection of vehicles,
D. c. once a year and Vir-
ginia twice a year and 1t is
to everyone's safety. Doesn't
Maryland have any con-
science as to the safety and
well-being Of its people and
people in general? Why does
this State feel 1t should be
exempted from protecting
its people? The District and
Virginia unload all Of their
junked cars on secondhand
lots In Maryland and then
the dealers sell them to un-
suspecting citizens. In addi-
ton, Of course, many people
in Maryland are driving cars
several years old, bought
when new, which they know
need attention but because
Of no inspection laws they
just don't bother, until some
thing tragic happens.
How about the State Legis-
lature sitting down and get
ting rid OF some Of their old
ideas about ways to run a
State and do something con-
structive about protecting
cars and people ON the road!

Tennessee Opinion

The Supreme Court deci-
sion on the Tennessee reap
portionment matter is sig
nificant in that both the
minority and majority opin-
ions agree that an injustice
exists. BY reason of aged
and unchanged proportional
representation standards, a
rural minority can elect a
legislative majority.
OF this, the courts minor
ity opinion makes a point:
That all inequities cannot be
righted by the courts; that
the courts cannot set them
selves up as judges Of politi-
cal contests-or as to the
fairness of a State legisla-
ture's maneuvers.
Nonetheless, we think the
courts minority has fallen
into the error Of generaliza-
ton. A contest has a begin
ming, a middle and a finish.
Assuming that we have no
right to referee" intra-State
political squabbles, is q. .citi-
zen and voter entitled to the
courtesy" of starting even
up with all other voters?
Is this a matter Of inter-
fering in a contest" or
granting a basic right of
fairness to begin with E.
That the rules are not dis
franchising the urban group
and perpetuating the rule of
the rural group?
The essence Of citizenship
is at the ballot box.
The courts minority points
out that other considerations,
including geographic and
economic, should be weighted
factors. Granted. Let the par
ties work out a voluntary
and fair reapportionment., If
the parties cannot agree, Nhe
matter could be submitted to
the court or to arbitration.
AS to legal precedent, let
it not be an immovable idol
proclaiming that a citizehIf
vote is not a matter Of right
but of circumstance. Is the
whole question one Of moral
duplicity? In a democracy,
are all men created equal
politically? Are State legisla-
tive leaders feigning demo-
cracy and demonstrating the
cute world Of politicse Is this
an overt lesson in ethics for
our youth?
There are many of us who
wonder whether I'VE can trust
the Russians. Wouldn't it be
nice if more people in public
high places Gould show us
that we can rust each other?

Speeders VS.. Rudur
have been readi

I have been reading re-
Gently, with increasing dis
gust, numerous advertise
ments for warning devices
which advise you when you
are being observed by q police
radar trap. The device op-
crates only II you are in the
path Of radar beams. If you
are speeding at other times,
it Is useless. However, it Is
perfect for the speeder who
wishes to travel carelessly
and dangerously without re-
gard for law. When he is
warned Of q radar trap, he
merely slows down until he
leaves the radar zone then
speeds up again.
The practice Of marketing
these devices shows a lack of
ethical sense and a marked
deterioration of morals. 1t is
a shameful monument to the
practices of some modern ad-
vertisers and manufacturers.
This device is merely a
cheap way Of circumventing
laws designed to protect our
people. If they come into
widespread use the laws of
this country designed to cut
down the disgraceful acci-
dent total viii be negated.
Thinking Americans should
have courage enough to obey
the laws they wanted and
protect themselves on the
highways from some Of the
inventive geniuses" In the
country.

Peace Crusaders

According to The Evening
Star Of April 5, Mrs. Dagmar
Wilson,, founder of the
"Women's Strike for Peace
Movement" is enthusiastic
about taking over a military
base near the USSR and con-
verting it to a cultural ex-
change center.
Since it has been reliably
reported that there are
'short-range atomic missile
installations througho u t
Eastern Europe, Mrs. Wilson
and her "peace-loving' ladies
might persuade Mr.. Khru-
shchev to give up one of
these armed sites for such a
laudable purpose.

*% So
Two atomic clocks which
probably will be accurate to
about one second in $500
years have just been in
stalled by the Navy. They
are considered certain to be
accurate to one second in
300 years.
= They were produced on
Navy order by International
Telephone and Telegraph Co.
and designed by the firms
senior scientist, DR.. Maurice
Arditi.
The basic element of the
atomic clock Is a small cell
filled with a vapor of the
metal cesium. The atoms of
this vapor exhibit certain ma
tural resonances to induced
radio waves, an unvarying
characteristic of all gases.
Under controlled conditions
these resonances can be de-
tected and made the basis
of a very precise determine
ton of frequency.
Has Practical Uses
Practical uses for the de-
vices are many. One fore
seeable application Is in long
range, space-navigational
control systems where, over
great distances and high
speeds, small errors in time
result in large errors in po-
Sition.
The Navy's far-reaching
submarine fleet would put to
good use a time standard
that would need virtually no
reSetting or checking, an i'm
portant factor in view of the
crafts time at sea and un-
derwater endurance.
Such an exact time piece,
according to a Navy report,
"also might test Einstein's
relativity theory. Two atomic
clocks would be synchronized
and one placed in a speeding
satellite orbiting within the
earth's gravitational field.
Should a difference in time
appear, EinStein's basic the
ory that time, as we know it,
is changed by gravitational
effects would be confirmed"
Some other applications
would be as an international
time standard and as a
means of greatly improving
the accuray of present day

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Light Harmful to Denizens of Deep
BY THOMAS r. HENRY

Sea water contains sub
stances of unknown nature
which emit a bright blue
fluorescence In sunlight or
moonlight. They are believed
to be derived from the de-
composition or metabolism Of
ocean animals or plants. They
may have an important part
in the ways Of life of many
sea animals.
This is reported by DR..
Germann Friedrich of the In
stitute for Sea Research of
Bremerhaven, Germany, in a
report published by the
American Association for the
Advancement of Science.
1t is known that many sea
organisms are damaged by
exposure to light of all sorts
and this damage can be in
creased markedly in the
presence of fluorescence.
Thus several species of fish,
for example, remain sheltered
during the day when strong
sunlight penetrates the water
and emerge to feed only in
the dark.
Light Injuries Animals
IN any instances are
known" DR.. Frierich says, "of
animals damaged not only by
ultraviolet but by visible
light. A strong interference
with respiration of some
creatures has been observed
under strong illumination.
There has been recorded a
decrease of about one half
from the normal in one
copepod. Plants also are
known to be damaged by
strong light. Most diatoms
microscopic sea plants oc-
cur at depths of several me-
ters below the surface. Many
habitats prefer the dark or
are active only at night and
remain hidden during the
day.
Probably strong light eff
fects endocrine systems. Dam
age resulting from exposure
can be increased markedly in
the presence of fluorescent
substances. Visible rays of
these substances may be
harmful to both animals and
humans. It has been reported,
for instance, that eggs, sperm
and larvae of one sea urchin
are not injured by exposure
to light in pure sea water,
but soon die when exposed
to light with eosin, q fluores-

THE POLITICAL MILL
Kennedy Tactics VS.. Mccormack
By GOULD LINCOLN


The Kennedy tactics to get
the youngest Of the three
Kennedy brothers, Edward
M. Kennedy, indorsed by the
Democratic State Conven-
ton June z, 8 and 8 for the
Senate seat formerly oc-
cupied by President John F.
Kennedy are to convince the
delegates - as well as the
rank and file voters-that
only he can win next No.
vember against the Republi-
cans. II they can convince
a majority Of the delegates
that this is so, Ted Kennedy,
an assistant district attor-
ney in Boston, will win the
conve n tons Endorsement
over his rival, Edward ]. Nc
Cormack, attorney general
of the State. 1t Is by no
means certain, as of today,
despite the powerful influ-
ence Of the Kennedys, in
cluding the President and
Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy. that Mr.. McCoz-
mack will be defeated.
McCOrmack's Tough Task
Mr.. Mccormack appeared
Sunday on the NBC televi-
sion program Meet the
PreSs"-as did Mr.. Kennedy
several weeks ago-and did
an excellent job. He frankly
admitted that he faces a
tough job against young
Kennedy, brother of the
President and Of the Attor-
ney General. At the same
time he expressed confidence
he would win convention in
dorsement, contending that
in delegate selections to date
he Is running 2 to / ahead
OF Mr.. Kennedy. He did not
say how many had been
chosen. The important ques-
tion-what will happen after
the pre-primary convention:
whether both these candi-
dates will fight it out in the
primary-still remains to be
answered.
Ted Kennedy mas indicated
he will go into the primary if
he loses the convention in
dorSement. Mr.. Mccormack
left the door open. He said
he had been misquoted ear
lier to the effect that he
would enter the primary
under any conditions. What
he had meant when he said
he would go all the way was
that he would not withdraw
as he was being urged by some
Democrats favoring Mr.. Ken
nedy, but carry his fight to
the convention. He made it
entirely clear, however, that
If he became convinced dele
gates had been pressured by
the Kennedys into support
ing the Presidents brother
for the nomination, he would
go to the primary himself
and seek a verdict from the
rank and file voters Of the
party. On the other hand, If
he became convinced that
the delegates had indorsed
Mr.. Kennedy because they
believed him qualified to hold
the office of Senator, the
impression was left he would
not file in the primary.
Mr.. Mccormack, while he
told his questioners that so
far he had seen no direct at
tempts by the Kennedys to
pressure the delegates and
prospective delegates to sup
port their brother, he had no
doubt that the President and
the Attorney General, since
they are human beings, would
go to his aid.
Mr.. Mccormack is cam
paigning on the issue that

he has had greater expert
ence and knows more about
the problems Of Massaohu-
sets and its people and can
better represent them in the
Senate. He has twice been
elected State attorney gen.
eral, carrying the State by
an even greater vote than
President Kennedy in the
1860 election, has held other
public offices and is IA years
older than the 30-year-old
Kennedy. All this he told his
questioners and the television
audience.
He was grilled hotly by
the press panel regarding
the corruption issue which
has arisen In Massachusetts,,
where charges Of graft in
many government agencies
have caused widespread crit
icism and concern. The bur-
den Of these questions ran to
the fact that he had been
attorney general Of the
State, and why had he not
done more about unearth-
ing this corruption in gov
ernment. Mr.. Mccormack
reminded his questioners that
he was not a police officer,
that his duty was to prose-
cute when malfeasance in
office was brought to his at
tention, and that in some
cases Of alleged corruption
he has taken the initiative
strongly. Since much of the
corruption has been found
in Boston, the State capital,
he said, too, the primary re-
sponsibility lay with the Of
flee of the Boston district at
torney. He mentioned the
fact that Mr.. Kennedy, his
rival, is assistant district at
torney in that office.
1t is on this corruption is
sue, plus the fact that it has
come into the open after
years of service by Attorney
General McCormack, that the
Kennedy forces are suggest
ing the only candidate for
the Senate the Democrats
can offer with real chance of
success Is Ted Kennedy-and
that Mr.. Mccormack would
go down to defeat. Whoever
is nominated by the Demo-
Gratis for Senator and for
Governor this year will have
to face Republican attacks
on the corruption issue, how
ever.
Expects Aid of Uncle
Mr.. Mccormack is a neph-
ew of Speaker John McCor-
mack, who holds what has
been termed the second most
important office in the ma
tional Government. Edward
Mccormack was asked if he
expected the support of his
uncle in his campaign. His
reply was that the Speaker
has already said he would
support him. And by the
same token, he expected the
President and the Attorney
General to support their
brother.
Like his rival Ted Ken
nedy, Mr.. Mccormack pos
sesses an attractive person.
ality. and handles himself
with confidence and ability.
In some quarters, it has been
suggested he might make an
even stronger run against a
Republican opponent than
would Mr.. Kennedy-particu-
larly on the ground that
there may be a feeling among
Massachusetts, voters that
there are enough members of
the Kennedy family occupy
ing high office.
