Don't Watch the ]
That's the secret of Ivan Dmi4ri's amazing 6O-seco

The other day stumbled on really neat
camera trick that should be passed on to all
amateur photographers. And it's fascinat-
ing even if you never clicked a shutter in
your life.
1t all started when l dropped in at an
editor friends apartment and noticed new
portrait photograph on the wall.
1t was a great shot Of him i was
really impressed, and | told him SO.
He laughed. "Ifs my passport photo.
My sife liked il so much she had It enlarged"
| said, Don't give me that pitch -
that's no passport phOtO!"
''WelI, actually" he said, II only call
it passport photo because it took me sixty
seconds to pose for it. 1t was taken for the
annual album of the Dutch Treat Club"

DUCKS KNOW A GOOD THING

MILWAUKEE, (AP) = Seven
years ago, Mr.. and Mrs. Stanley

drawn an overwhelming number of

we'll they won't go south for the
winter.
Now, about 800 ducks call the
Gross yard their home

about $725 for corn to feed the
flock
Said Mrs. Gross:
"We've been wanting to stop
this thing for a long time But
the ducks keep coming back with
friends. What are you going to
do? Let them starve?"

Bugs and Us

From the far reaches Of the Allan
tic and Pacific come new warnings
against the dangerous, indiscriminate
use Of pesticides of which this country
has been guilty. The Public Health
Service now tells us officially miss
Rachel Carson beat everybody to it,
that fish, wildlife and plants as far
away as Japan, Iceland and the Arctic
have somehow picked up the insecticide,
DOT.
How the stuff got there is a mys-
terry, but it hardly matters. What does
matter is that the Government, adding
this danger signal to all the others,
must promptly do something about
heading off the menace Of uncontrolled
chemical bug killers.
A start has been made in some
areas, thanks to the intense concern
Of Senator Ribicoff of Connecticut, and
other legislators. For example, Congress
is expected to tighten the safety regu-
lations on the marketing of pesticides.
But that Is only beginning, and does
not attack the main abuses.
More needs to be done to eliminate,
as far as possible, peSticides which re-
main toxic years after their use. And
much more needs to be done about the
haphazard mass spraying of deadly
chemicals without regard for the pub
lie health and safety.
Beyond all this, however, there is a
basic need to find substitutes for the
chlorinated organic compounds (such as
DDT) and organic phosphates, threat
ening humans Of this and future gen.
erations.
The answer is an intensive research
program into non-chemical methods,
whether biological control, or some
other, which can replace the more nox-
ious chemicals. The Presidents Science
Advisory Committee has recommended
this program, originally proposed by
Miss Carson, and the Agriculture De-
partment has undertaken it.
But this is not a problem which
should be treated in the usual run-of-
the-mill way. 1t needs special atten-
ton and direction from high authority,
and it needs what funds are required to
push it hard. Congress can and should
supply the money, and the President
the leadership, to make certain it is
bugs, and not people, we are EXTERN
mating,

Fire Escape

Fires at the Japanese Embassy are
not frequent and, it is good to add,
never have left permanent scars. One
of the most famous was a roaring bon
fire of secret papers touched off behind
the Massachusetts, avenue buildings one
December day % years ago-a fire
everyone would as soon forget.
All who have visited the Embassy
will be relieved to know that a recent,
less ominous fire was confined to the
top stories, sparing perhaps the lovelieSt
decorative effects in WaShington's
Embassy Row. A delicately blended
melange of statuary, paintings, floral
displays, ceramics and embroidered
pieces, this little bit of Nippon is charm
beyond compare. Happily, the District
Fire Department made a good save.

The Line

1t took about nine hours Sunday
night to walk from the streets near the
Supreme Court along A street to Lin
coin Park, through the park and back
on East Capitol to the Rotunda and the
dead President
1t was an American experience, as
surely as the pilgrimage to Canterbury
was British. Like Chaucer's pilgrims, the
Americans in line became friendly, ex-
changed stories, laughed and joked and
sang songs without ever quite forgetting
that they had Travelled and were walk
ing to pay homage to martyred leader.
1t was long walk on cold night,
but complaints were translated into
American exaggeration and Jest. At
times the occasion seemed a social
event. Yet everyone there was there in
grief, and knew it. College students
suddenly had" to drive hundreds Of
miles to be there. Parents "had" to
bring their children.
There were a lot Of children In the
line, cheerful teen-agers, patient young
er boys and girls, pre-schoolers and
babes in arms.
The line moved in fits and starts
along A street, made the slow turn
through the park and shaped up for the
East Capitol walk. At that point, wait
ing to get to the ropes, many of the
walkers noticed a bronze statue of an
other martyred President, one hand
holding the Emancipation Proclamation,
the other lifting up a kneeling slave.
AS they would again at the very
end, at that moment many in the line
remembered why they were there and
the warmth of the light beyond the
dark and the cold Of public tragedy.
The line moved on to the waiting
President.

Trustworthy?

The terror in Venezuela has con-
tinued apace over the past three or four
days. Nearly 100 persons have been left
dead or wounded, all of them innocent
victims Of cruelty calculated effort
to keep the people away from the polls
next Sunday. Quite clearly Dallas is
not the only place in our world where
abstract evil and down-to-earth crack
pots and fanatics reside.
We do not have to look far for the
villain of this piece. 1t is Cuba-based
communism. Although once supported
by Venezuela'S President Betancourt-
who has since put up a brave fight
against hinl-Fidel Castro has turned
against his former friend. He has left
no room for doubt that he wants to
install Communist regime in Caracas.
Hence the bombingS, the machine-gun-
ming, the acts Of arson, the individual
atrocities and all the rest of the ter
roriSm designed to brighten the country
into the kind Of paralysis that would
make it an easy pushover.
But the Venezuelan people appar-
emily refuse to be intimidated. The
indications are that they intend to turn
out in very large numbers to cast their
ballots in Sundays elections. AS for
the outcome, the betting is that they
will pay their respects to the courageous
Mr.. Betancourt-who is constitutionally
debarred from succeeding himself for
another term-by electing his chief
lieutenant, Raul Leoni Should that
happen, should the Communists suffer
a heavy defeat, Caracas might enjoy
some peace for a while.
This prospect, however, is "iffy" at
best. The puppet Red tyranny in Ha-
vana has job to do. AS the House
Subcommittee on Inter American At
fairs has reported, the job is one that
links Fidel Castro in an alliance for
violence" with the Soviet Union, and
probably also with Red China. Anyhow,
as far as Moscow goes, the subcommit-
tees words are worth quoting: Inter
national Soviet agents, experts in the
field of revolutionary propaganda, ter
roriSt tactics and guerrilla warfare, are
operating schools for violence in Cuba,
training and matchmaking Latin Amer
lean SubverSives."

Let's Be Sensible

The first reaction upon seeing
Lyndon Johnson walking with the
others to the service at st. Matthew's
was one Of surprise. Was 1t wise for the
President, after what happened in Dali
las, to take the risk?
The more one thought about 1t the
more proper 1t seemed. Should the
President have ridden behind bullet
proof glaSs2 Should the same precau-
ton have been taken in the case of
Charles de Gaulle, Prince Philip, AnaS-
tas Mikoyan and the others? We think
not. For to have done this might have
lent a certain FEASIBILITY to the false
notion that there is sort of madness
abroad in the land; that it was this, not
a deranged mind, upon which must rest
the blame for the assassination of Presi-
dent Kennedy.
There are, Of course, those who
preach violence in America. And there
are those who practice it. But does this
call for an indictment of all Of US? Does
1t mean that ours is generation apart?
There are those who are suggesting as
much. But how do they explain the as
saSSination of Lincoln, Garfield and
Mckinley? How account for the ex-
ceSses Of our own American Revolution?
Is there some weakness that is inherent
In and peculiar to a free society such
as ours? If so, what is the explanation
for the aSsaSSinations in the closed
societies?
No one knows what was at work In
the unbalanced mind of Lee Harvey
Oswald. Perhaps we will never know.
He said something about being embit-
tered because of hardship endured by
his mother during the great depression.
But millions of mothers suffered during
those years. Yet their sons do not 60
around killing Presidents.
No, this theory Of national guilt
will not wash. The lunatic always has
been and always will be with us. Every
proper precaution should be taken to
safeguard the President. But his secu-
rity can never be made absolute. And
we might just as well face up to it.
Another abSurdity is the conspira-
torial explanation Of the murder Of Lee
Oswald by Jack Ruby. The official East
German news agency quotes the newt
able political observers" as saying that
the assassination Of President Kennedy
was ordered by the extreme right
wingers, that an attempt was made to
link the Communists to the crime, and
that it was then decided to eliminate"
Oswald "in the fascist manner so that
he would never be able to name the
real killers. This same line is being
heard in yelled suggestions by otherwise
sane Americans.
What utter nonsense! President
Johnson has wisely called for prompt
and thorough" investigation Of all the
circumstances surrounding the Presi-
dents murder. The report which results
should set to rest the orgy of specula-
ton to which we have been treated in
recent days.
