been considered the most vital.
DR.. Morey, in a departure
from previous chemical theory
substituted for the silica, boric
oxide with rare earth oxides. He
developed a glass which scien-
lists have termed of a ''high in
dex of refraction and low dis.
persive power"
It now is widely used by the
armed services in all aerial
photography, as well as in mod.

For his achievement, DIR. MOrey

This means a warm, moist eli

Since 1857, DR.. Morey has
been with the Geological Survey

stroke earlier this year and is
confined to his home, he still
continues his work and cur
rently is writing several chap
tiers of a new edition of a book
on geo-chemistry for the de-
partment.
Although his work is highly
scientific, his mind runs to little
stories-like the time a member
of one of his expeditions to
Yellowstone National Park

of equipment into boiling spring
and had to be suspended head

in mock gravity.
The descendent of this unfor-
tunate member of the family
skipped over the line to this

The George W." in his name

his fathers before him. DR..
Morey says hes quite certain
his grandfather must have been

Morey humor plays about his

DR.. Morey loves fine glass. In
fact he became something of a
collector. But only after he had
made his own.
This happened prior to World
War II when the Eastman
Kodak Co.. saw the need for an
entirely new glass for wide
angle lenses. The firm fitted
out a laboratory in the base
ment of DR.. Morey's home and
he set to work.

glass are sodium oxide, calcium
oxide and silica, with traces of

Congress-:
A Little Gain

Congress last week was about
at the halfway mark of its 1868
session, assuming IL decides to
go home in early September.
With the fear Of recession at its
heels, Congress in 1858 went
through a whirlwind Of activity
before Easter recess to boost the
tagging economy. Some likened
it to the first 100 days Of Frank
lin D. Roosevelt's administration.
The activity ultimately brought a
deficit of $12.5 billion, biggest
peacetime red-ink operation on
record.
Lawmakers soon returned to
their leisurely ways, however, and
this year has been no exception.
Only four pieces Of major legis-
lation have been passed in the
Senate youth employment, mass
transportation, a bill to preserve
wilderness areas, and draft ex-
tension measure.
OF these. only the draft bill has
become law. The House has ap-
proved none Of the other schemes,
and for its part has only passed
a medical school aid bill and a
feed grain measure.
Yet the Nation faces a deficit
of $11.9 billion in the fiscal year
starting July, by the administra-
tions own original estimate, and
even more by other calculations.

Election Fix

Normally, his six-year term
would expire on May Is (the Con-
stitution provides only one term.
but in April, 1861 he arranged
for his election to a new" six
year term, expiring In 1867. The
United States and other nations
have never recognized this illegal
amendment to the Haitian laws,
and as the 18th approached. vari-
Gus opposition groups have been
threatening to overthrow the
dictator.
AS military law was imposed in
the streets of Port-au-Prince
around the Presidential Palace,
tension grew in the past two
weeks. Various murders were re-
ported and DR.. Duvalier purged
his small army of officers he did
not trust. Some of the officers
as well as other Haitians, sought
political asylum in the Dominican
Republics Embassy.
Last Sunday, President Juan
Bosch in Santo Domingo reported
that Haitian police had entered
the Dominican Embassy, and had
stationed police on the grounds.
He threatened war If DR.. Duvalier
or the Organization of American
States did not do something about
this infringement of diplomatic
immunity.

Inquiry Set Up

The OAS dispatched a mission
to the island, and the guard was
lifted from the Dominican EN-
bassy, ending the immediate
threat. Tension, however, is still
high. The United States Ambas-
sador Raymond Thurston last
week advised all 1000 Americans
to stay indoors at night, and for
mally complained Of harassment
Of an embassy official by Haitian
police.
He is In contact with United
States Navy ships a few miles
off shore, in case a long feared
explosion breaks out in the city.
Since almost all diplomats and
foreigners are white. there is the
chance that DR.. Duvalier may un-
leash his secret police on the
foreigners in a sort Of racial war

shaky leadership.

Higher Tax Total

Last week Treasury Secretary
Douglas Dillon offered a new view
to mollify critics. Improved busi-
ness may mean tax revenues 81
billion higher than estimated, he
said. That would cut the deficit
by the same amount.
The deficit comes from the ad-
ministration's expansive mood. We
are increasing our defense figure
by $24 billion, to a record peace
time total of 1854 billion; our
outlay on space by $1.8 billion; on
health, labor and welfare by $700
million. Even interest on the Gov
ernment debt will spiral up by
$500 million to a whopping SOL
billion next year.
The deficit includes the as
sumption that Congress will go
along with tax cut proposal.
Without this, it will still be $9.2
billion but the betting now is that
the cut will be approved. Sena-
tor Byrd, conservative Virginia
Democrat who heads the Senate
Finance Committee, thinks the
deficit may shoot up as high as
$l8 billion next year.

eastern part of the island), partly
out of the hope of finding min
eral wealth, partly as face-sav-
ing device, and partly out of obli-
cations to the uncivilized masses
of the island.
Continual pressure from Indo-
neSia for the land, eliminating
in a near-war, and subsequent
United States and United Nations
mediation led to the solution of
partial United Nations admin
istration followed by last weeks
complete takeover under a United
Nations mandate. Indonesia must
hold a referendum later on, so
the people can decide whether
they want to remain IndonesianS
or not.
The political significance Of the
takeoEer should not be underes-
timated. Under constant pressure
from Indonesia's large and we'll
organized Communist Party, Mr..
Sukarno has often needed to seek
outside successes tC firm up his
reign.
The recent visits of Soviet De-
fense Minister MalinovSky an d
Chinese chief-of-stat Liu Shao-
chi to IndoneSia served also to
build up the Sukarno image. West
ern observers who have feared a
Communist coup in Indonesia ever
since the nation was established,
hope that the recent events will
tend to stabilize the situation in
the island republic.
They hope that Mr.. Sukarno
will not be tempted to try his
hand at forcibly preventing the
establishment of the MalaySian
Federation this August when Ma
laya, Singapore. North Borneo,
Sarawak. and Brunei join up. Mr..
Sukarno, with eyes on North
Borneo which borders on the In
donesia state of Borneo, has been
making charges for months about
the "imperialist" plot behind the
federation.

INDIA

For Secretary of State Rusk,
travelling from Turkey to Pakistan
to India and now in Yugoslavia
the news of the last week could
not have been very encouraging.
The United States and Great
Britain have long urged India and
Pakistan to negotiate their bitter
dispute over divided Kashmir.
Shortly after last falls Sino-In-
dian fighting, Pakistan and India
agreed to the talks.
So far, after five sessions, no
progress has been reported. In
fact, reports given Mr.. Rusk in
the capitals of New Delhi and
Rawalpindi indicate that observers
there believe that the next ses-
sion Of Indian and PakiStani Of
ficials on May Is may be the
last one. The result of the failure
will only help the Chinese who
have favored a divided Indian
sub-continent.
Each side has blamed the other
for the failure, but Americans
tend to credit the Pakistanis more
for trying to end the dispute.
Pakistani President Ayub Khan
has seemed more willing to COM
promise his stand than Prime
Minister Nehru.
The failure Of an agreement
means that both sides will con-
tinue to station much Of their
armed forces on the Kashmir
border, forcing each country to
spend sums on defense that would
not be needed If Kashmir had
been settled.
Since the United States has
supplied both countries with mill
tary aid, 1t means that Washing
ton will continue to antagonize
both sides by its aid to the other.
PakiStan member OF both
CENTO and SEATO-e especially
resents aid given to India as
result of the Sino- Indian fight
ing. Pakistan claims that India
is more concerned about Kashmir
than her barren Chinese borders,
and may use these weapons
against her.
The United States, however.
feels that India must be protected
against a possible renewed Chi
nese attack. Even though she ac-
cepts American and British help.
India has refused to give UP its
"non-aligned" policies. Indeed,
one of Mr.. Rusk's tasks was prob
ably TO reassure Indians that no
political strings we're tied to
American aid.
