Vegetation on Mars, II 1t

This Is the conclusion OF
the Russian astronomer, @.
A. Tikhov, q translation Of
whose report in abstract form
has Just been issued through
the United States Depart
ment of Commerce. Tikhov,
says the report, compared the
optical properties Of Martian
seas (large level areas con-
tanning no water but the most
likely abodes for vegetation)
and terrestrial vegetation.
There are substantial diff
ferences between Martian
and earth vegetation" he re-
ports" Earth vegetation is
green whereas the Martian
seas are blueish. The spec
trum of earth plants clearly
shows chlorophyll absorption

trum of the Martian seas.
Terrestrial plants greatly
scatter infrared rays whereas
the Martin seas absorb them.

Plants in the Far North on
earth should have entirely

quite inconspicuous chloro-
phyll bands"

plifies this. For example, the
term "Ukrainian separatist
emigres" is a favorite Rus
sian usage applied to Ukrain-
ian patriots, and, as shown
Just last Octobert in the
StaShynsky trial in West
Germany, even Khrushchev
had. out of fear. to order the
assassination of two Ukrain-
ian emigre leaders.
The fantasies about Ukraine
not voting separation from
Russia, a handful Of separat-
lists proclaiming independ-
ence, and Ukrainian emigres
not having q moral right to
speak in behalf Of their cap
tive homeland are also famil-
lar Soviet Russian tunes.
These typical Russianistic
distortions of the histories Of
conquered nations are easily
contradicted by the Ukrain-
ian Congress held in 1917,
from which delegates were
elected to form the independ-
ent republic, the recognition
by the Russian Council Of
Peoples Commissars in De-
C ber. 1917, Of "The
Ukrainian National Republic
and its right to full separa-
ton from Russia" and after
the rape of independent
Ukraine and its forced in
corporation into the USSR.
the existence Of Article II in
the USSR Constitution, The
right freely to secede from
the USSR is reserved to
every Union Republic"
A measure Of common
sense on these Soviet Russian
responses TO the Ukrainian
drive for independence should
alone suggest that they
weren't made In q vacuum
but rather with an eye to the
expressed popular will Of the
historic Ukrainian nation.
The reader not familiar with
this history can consult the

Britain Fights Back

simple head-count in the House of Com
mons vote of confidence given the Con-
Servative government of .Britains Prime
Minister Macmillan. For, in its way, this
was typical British response to a
challenge to national pride-deeply af-
fronted by Frances veto of Britain's bid
to become full member of the European
Economic Community, the Common
Market. Mr.. Macmillan's party itself
was divided on this matter of Britain
ending its historic isolation from the
European continent, and some of his
adherents In the House had even found
amusement in the Labor Party'S heck
ling attacks upon Inundated John
Bull. But even though the member
ship roster showed safe Conservative
majority, the loyalty at voting time
exceeded expectations.
This was, of course, only demon
stration of partisan mood and not by any
means an answer to the Conservatives
political problem when next faced with
a general election, or to Britain's wider
problems in domestic and international
economies Currently, the United King
dom is suffering from a showdown in
trade and high unemployment-factors
in the governments initial decision to
seek affiliation with the Common Mar
ket. Rejection Of this application, after
weeks Of baSically promising negotia-
tions, was, as Chancellor of the Exche-
quer Maudling told the House, "a great
disappointment, but not a disaster"
Only folly or the unlikelihood of British
weakness" Mr.. Maudling added, could
turn this development into disaster or
Illustrate the whole logic" which points
to united Europe within the Atlantic
community.
In more than one way, shrewdly and
carefully, Britain already is fighting
back In debate preceding the vote on
Labor'S censure motion, for example,
Deputy Foreign Minister Heath told the
House that the channels for co-opera-
ton with the Common Market would be
kept open, that industry and labor must
intensity their efforts to expand COM
mcrce with the Market bloc, and that
new trading opportunities would be
sought elsewhere. At the same time, Mr..
Heath emphasized that reopening of
negotiations for Britain's membership
in the EEC must be by invitation of
the entire Market community, including
France, and that any such discussions
must have promise of speedy progress.
This laying down of conditions, If
1t is so interpreted, is not being done
from a position Of complete weakness.
British affiliation with the Market has
strong Endorsement from within the bloc,
indeed in varying degree from all mem
bers except France. And Britain also
still retains the support of its colleagues
in the seven nation European Free
Trade Association, a rival commercial
bloc that has not achieved the dra-
matte success of 1.-THE Six" but never

Sentatives of this "Outer Seven" will

Wet Russian imper1o-coloni-
alism. Americans who for
some time have understood
this problem in our midst
(e.g., James Burnham, Con-
tainment Or LiberationO
have wondered on whose
side these people will be
when a showdown comes;
and this includes the pro-
fessors cited in the first
letter. Needless to say. we've
had many other university
professors in this country
sympathetic to the various
policies Of imperial Moscow.
Finally, as concerns Cos
sackia, it doesn't surprise me
that Tschebotarioff shows
little appreciation Of the ma
tional sinews binding the
Cossack people. His outlook
is so totalitarian Russian
that he no longer recognizes
his own ancestry. Such Rus
sianized types have been the
ripe products Of systematic
classification both under
White and Red Tsars. AS
Lenin once pointed out, they
even out Russianize the
chauvinist Russians. How
ever, since he offered $1,000
to prove the points on Cos
Sackia, I suggest the forma-
ton Of q committee Of COM
petent scholars, here and
abroad. to Judge this. There
are many intellectual Ameri-
cans Of Cossack ancestry who
would be willing TO oblige in
showing the CoSsack struggle
against Russian domination
and Cossackia's declaration
Of independence In 1918.
As for the Forrest letter,
Its anti-clerical tone and
Russian version Of Ukrainian

stantiate my several COM

too, are the self-same argu-

THE POLITICAL MILL
AG. O. p. Moses in California
BY GOULD LINCOLN

California, which will have
the second largest electoral
vote for President in 1864
total Of 40 votes compared to
43 for New York-remains
today the Republican Party's
greatest problem. Despite the
fact that the Democratic
registration is about 5 to 3
over the Republican registra-
ton, there is a tremendous
swing vote in the State. 1t
was shown in 1862 elections.
Gov. Pat Brown, Democrat,
won reelection over the chal-
lenge of former Vice Presi-
dent Richard M. Nixon by
100000 votes, while Senator
Thomas H. Kuchel, Republi-
can. was reelected by 721,-
900 votes. This vote for Sena-
tor Kuchel, who carried all
SO counties, is reminiscent of
the victories of Chief Justice
Earl Warren when he was
running for Governor of Cali
fornia, and, indeed, of form
er Senator William Know
land before he became en-
broiled in a bitter intra-party
war.
Time Getting Short
Notwithstanding Senator
Kuchel's remarkable victory,
the Democrats retained q
strangle-hold on the State,
re-electing Gov. Brown, win
ming "a seats In the national
House Of Representatives to
IA for the G. o. p, and re-
tanning control of both
houses Of the State legisla-
ture. Decidedly the Republi-
cans In California have a
terrific task on their hands
If they are to carry the State
for their candidate for Presi-
dent, defeat Democratic Sen
ator Clair Engle, and win
more seats in the House.
They haven't too long q
time, first. to get themselves
together, and second, to con-
vince the voters that the
G. o. P. can do q better job
than can the Kennedy adj
ministration.
The division in the Repub-
lican ranks in California,
which made itself manifest
In 1858 when Mr.. Knowland
tried for Governor and lost
to Gov. Brown, continued
through 1860, although Mr..
Nixon was able to defeat
President Kennedy there by
an exceedingly narrow mar
gin. In 1862, the ultra con-
servatives went all-out to
nominate their leader, form
er minority leader of the
State House, Joe Shell, over
Mr.. Nixon for Governor. The
big question now: Who is 60
ing to be the Moses to lead
them out of the wilderness
In 1864? The politicos gen.
orally are unwilling to hazard
a guess. Senator Kuchel ap-
pears to be the logical man.
But the Senator also ap-
pears to be satisfied to at
tend his own knitting and
unwilling to seek party lead
erShip. He has indicated he
will not become a favorite-
son candidate for the presi-
Dental nomination.
Mr.. Nixon's defeat In the
Governors race last fall
washed him up. He has said
he is out Of the political pic
ture as far as office seeking
is concerned. Former Gov
