There are several theories
about the particles. One II
that they could be remnants
Of comets that rush through

scientists believe cosmic dust
has It's origin In galactic space

by the interaction Of mag

Another theory Is that

vasion attempt - that the
Cuban people shall once
again be free.
The New York Governor is
intensely interested in the
creation Of more jobs for
more Americans, as President
Kennedy so often has said
he is. But Gov. Rockefeller's
approach to that problem Is
as far from the Kennedy APP
proach as the North Pole
from the South. Instead of
great deficit spending to Gre
ate work and jobs-Govern-
ment jobs-Gov. Rockefeller
would move to encourage q
vast buildup Of American in
dustry, through the estab-
lishment Of greater conf
dence among the investing
and producing men and
women Of the country. He
would do this with an imme-
date $40 billion reduction Of
Federal taxes-$7.5 billion on
individual income taxes and
$2.5 billion on corporation
and other business. With
such stimulus, he estimated
that he would have q $8.7
billion deficit for fiscal year
1964-but a SIS billion sur
plus for fiscal 1865. At the
same time he would keep
Federal spending down to no
more than for fiscal 1868, or
lower. This could be done by
putting first things first.
Only fiscal responsibility. he
contends, will bring an end
to deficit spending-and that
the Kennedy administration
is not following.
Early "a Announcement
Gov. Rockefeller sounded
like q candidate for the
@. o. p. presidential nomina-
ton, but he would not say
whether he will enter presi-
Dental primary elections.
He will answer that question,
he said, before the first pri-
maries in March next year
primaries in which he would
have to file in January or
February. BY that time he
undoubtedly will be q full
fledged candidate, II he is
going to run, as nearly every
one believes. Among the
other political questions he
answered was about o Re-
publican drive to win votes
in the old Democratic Solid
South. He declared that Re-
publicans will win there be-
acause Of support for their
stand on economic policies
not on the race issue.
Gov. Rockefeller's views on
these major issues run almost
on all tours with those Of
Senator Barry Goldwater Of
Arizona, darling Of the
@. o. p. conservatives, and
those recently expressed here
by former Vice President
Nixon. The wings Of the Re-
publican Party progressive
and conservative-are draw
ing closer and closer together,

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Sustenonce for Astronouts Problem
By THOMAS R. HENRY

Astronauts must make
their own food on future
prolonged space flights. Sew
eral possibilities of doing this
now are being investigated by
the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration. They
are described by DR.. Charles
A. Roadman, director Of aero
space medicine for NASA, in
a report published by the
American Institute of Bio
logical Sciences.
For more advanced space
travel. says the report, total
food requirements cannot be
slowed in the vehicle itself.
Means Of developing food
stuffs while in flight must
be provided. Algae are often
considered as q source Of food
because an algae growth uti-
Lies waste products Of man,
produces oxygen and repro
duces rapidly to supply high
protein food.
Algae Not Enough
"Algae," the report contin-
ues. cannot supply all dia-
tary needs. Techniques now
are under study to combine
the carbon obtained from the
carbon dioxide Of the astro-
naut's breath with hydrogen
obtained from the hydrolysis
Of water to produce methane.
This methane can be further
converted to formaldehyde
and formaldehyde to pala-
table and useful sugars.
Suitable plants and ami
mails that will utilize human
waste are being sought as q
source of food on planet sur
faces. Water requirements al
so are critical. Water must
be produced or reclaimed In
flight. Recovery Of water from
the astronauts' respirations
Is one source. A second will
be recovery from the hydro
gen and oxygen fuels used by
auxiliary power units. With
these systems there will be
little need for large quantities
Of stored water"
An extremely potent poison
produced by a one-celled sea
plant has been isolated in
pure form by Army chemists.
The plant Is the same
which Is responsible for the
"red tides" in the Bay Of Fun
dy and on the Pacific Coast.
The poison produces paraly.
sis IN men and animals. fol-
lowed by quick death II the
dose Is sufficient.

Foreign aid Is a necessary

Lies Dilemma

Elsie King Moreland skill
fully and lucidly set forth in
The Star the crime dilemma
Of today. But to decide upon
q cure we must consider more
carefully her alternatives. Is
the individual. rather than
society" to blame for his
conduct? Can he master his
fate? Can he determine
right from wrong"P These
ideas are challenged by ex-
perts. Social science, sup
planting philosophy in our
educational system, holds
that standards change; that
the doctrine of absolute
truths, Of Natural Law" the
Ten Commandments, is out

concept. Today there are "ac-
ceptable" and Unacceptable"
degrees Of honesty. of adul-
terry. of dishonoring thy IA
Their and thy mother. Law
is no longer tied to the puri-
tanical standards of religious
morality. The test is what
society Is willing to accept.
But the society in which
"wolf-packs" develop accepts
different standards than
those Of Elder Michaux's
community, or the folks In
Loudoun County, or the
Swiss.
The Marxist Socialists
solve this dilemma. They 60

the same path. Agreeing that

what is right" and what is

The Senate quickly ssed
yesterday a bill to authorize an
additional s17,945, 900 to carry
out President Kennedy's pledge
of safeguards in connection
with the nuclear test ban trea-

The funds would finance II

The administration said
these are needed to step up I'M

under the treaty. and to make
it certain that atmospheric and
outer space testing could be re-
sumed promptly If the pact
were violated.
In addition TO approving the
new construction funds, the

Labor and Business Mergers

Of a possible sale-would
promptly turn to other jobs
and make it impossible for
the owner company actually
to pass on to the buyer q
going concern. One can mag
inc also what the customers
would do-especially sup
pliers and advertisers-if
they were told the business
was in financial difficulty.
Newspapers are no differ
ent from other businesses
which are m erged or sus-
pended due to economic con-
ditions. The superior efforts
of one competitor as against
another really determine
whether particular businesses
can continue on their own
steam or should be sold while
there is still q chance to SAL
wage some Of the assets. In
almost every industry-for
instance, in the manufacture
of automobiles or in steel or
in the corner grocery-there
has been a diminution in the
mum Der of businesses but
there has also been an ex-
panSion in other directions
so that the total national
output has risen steadily and
employment has been sub
stantially augmented.
Labor leaders have at
times used their political
and economic power-a and
particularly their right to
strike-to interfere with the
natural laws Of business en-
terprise. The railroads today
are seeking mergers because
they cannot continue to pay
the high wage costs, espe-
cially for ''featherbedding,
which is the name given to
payment made for work not
done. In the proposed law on
the merger of n ewspaper
properties, would the buyer
be required to give jobs to
employees he didn't need?
1t Is unrealistic to insist
tha It the Government now
should become the dictator
in the transfer of ownership
Of those businesses which are
losing money. Nor should
businessmen who are think
ing Of selling their properties
be compelled to tell the world
they are in danger Of bank
ruptcy If they continue to
operate. This kind Of law is
not likely to preserve the free
enterprise system but could
eventually bring instead a
state-controlled system a nd
legalized monopoly.
