There are proportionately fewer
women in graduate schools and in the

years ago, Anthropologist Margaret

In a speech broadcast over KPFA-

to adapt themselves to what is and
to want to understand and guard
things as they are.
"Men want to change or even de-
stroy nature: Melt the Polar ice cap

the United Nations and the United
Nations out of the United States, to
override the authority of the SUI
preme Court, and reapportioned the
state to give the farm communities
more, rather than less representation.
In Wyoming, Overcast said, accord
ing to the TIMES article, the John
Birch Society growth was slower than
in Montana, and he did not take
credit for the growth of ''conserva-
tism'' there, although he thought the
JBS might have contributed to its
growth in Montana.
Between now and November, 1864,
the right-wing will be better defined
and its scope made clear and people
may be able to grasp its significance.

Public Needs To Know
More About Pesticides

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
The government doesn't tell you
enough about pesticides, nine univer-
sity scientists have told the Depart
ment of Health, Education and We'll
fare.
These chemicals that kill flies, mos
quitoes, borers, beetles, reaches, dam
deloins, crab grass, and weeds have
great merits" and also apparent
risks, panel of President Kennedy's
science advisory committee agreed.
But you don't know much about them
The government tests these chemi-
Gals. studies them, sets tolerances, and
writes about them in language that
farmers and crop-dusters can under
stand, but it doesn't do much ito en-
nance public awareness of pesticide
benefits and hazards"
Not until Rachel Carson wrote "Si-
lent Spring" last year were people
generally aware of how poisonous
these chemicals are, the scientists
said.
Many questions about pesticides
are still unanswered. About $50 per-
sons die each year as a result of mis-
using these chemicals. They make
many more people i'll. Yet the symp
toms of pesticide poisoning SO closely

| resemble symptoms of common i'll
nesses that no one is sure how many
become I'LL.
Very little is known about the con.
sequences of your accumlating more
than one pesticide, the scientists said
Suppose you put 2, AID on. your lawn
and spray your patio with DOT, what
begins to happen inside of you? We
don't know.
| Many birds, fish, sea creatures, and
pets seem more sensitive to pesticides
than man. In some areas sprayed for
Dutch elm diseases, four-fifths of the
birds died, the panel said. A common
garden chemical, heptachlor, will kill
shrimp in concentrations of less than
one part per billion!
The group, headed by Colin Mac
Leod of New York University's medi-
cal school, urged the Department of
Health, Education & Welfare to spend
money getting answers for the un-
answered questions.
They also suggested that the Agri-
culture Department refuse to register
a new pesticide unless it's equally eff
fective and less hazardous than some
chemical already for sale. Also, when
such a pesticide turns up, "the more
hazardous compounds might well be
removed from the market"
Unquestionably, pesticides have
helped farmers boost increased food
output, and men must go ON using
them if they're to maintain this adj
vantage, Macleod and his col
leagues said. Yet they urged USDA
to shift some of it's ''great emphasis
on chemical pest CONTROL to biologi-
cal methods which have received "rel-
atively little attention.
For example, sterihzing males of
the homogeneous screwworm fly with
gamma rays and releasing them SO
their mates produce infertile eggs is
one such biological control. So are
birds, which eat vast quantities of in

Overcast did not identify the elect
ed officials or appointees.
The john Birch Society has been
called the common denominator for
the estimated 1000 conservative
right-wing organizations and fronts
in this country today and their syn
tony was revealed when Overcast told
Turner that The Freedom Fighters
and the Anti-Communist Study Club
were of great value to his work.
The N. Y. TIMES article quotes
Overcast as saying of the above
groups, "They indoctrinate 'em to
the point where l can take 'em over.

The syntony of the right-wing

wing-conservative organizations and
fronts is beginning to emerge.
The immediate hazard is going to

In Montana the conservative Re-
publicans have the upper hand, but
they may yet have to come to grips
with the phenomena, if not philoso-
phically, first, at least financially.
There are indications that the

through the state and raid local
financial resources that have hith-
erto been available to the state

Implying that the federal power

Rand's vitrolic smear article against

...SAVED BY THE BELL
Army Exempts Married Men
BY the Associated Press

Hundreds of young married
men facing two years Of Army
life found themselves yesterday
in a situation similar to that
of the prize fighter saved by
the bell. In this case, it was
a wedding bell.
The bell ringer was President
Kennedy. He issued an eXecu-
tive order temporarily hating
the draft of married men.
Many men were only minutes
away from induction when the
order came through,
Some greeted the news with
signs of relief. Others saw
problems.
And some, like three of eight
married inductees at Atlanta,
decided to go into the Army
anyway.
One of the three, Thomas
Byers, %, of Rome, Ca, ex-
blamed. my friends threw me
a big going away party-Td be
ashamed to go back now. Be-
sides, I sold my new car"
Among the Atlanta inductees
who chose civilian life, Earl G.
Wheeler, %, of Trenton, Ga,
said:
1T took me about as long to
decide to go home as it did for
them to ask the question"
President Kennedy ordered
that married men be indicted
only after all acceptable single
men in the 1925 age group had
been drafted.
When Fred M. Fletcher got
the news at a Seattle induc-
ton center, the 23-year-old
bridegroom of five months
lust started running"
81 actually ran out the door"
he said, land kept running for
about four blocks before I hap
pened to think it was a long
way home to Bothell'-a Wash
ington State community about
10 miles from Seattle.
But another inductee, Dan
lei Robinson of GrapevieW,
Wash, wasn't as lucky. He's
single. I'm madden than heck
about this" he said. I'm prac-
tically engaged to a girl. If I'd
known about this presidential
ORDER, why, we'd have sped
things up a little"
Charles Ray Morgan, %, of
Moss Point, Miss, was pulled
from an induction line at Jack
son, Miss, just As minutes after
the presidential order went into
effect.
A sergeant stepped up to him
just as Mr.. Morgan was about
to be sworn in and said. You
don't go. You're married"
If he had raised his hand
and taken the oath, he would
have been Pvt. Morgan.
"Whew!" he sighed, that's
saved by the bell, isn't it?"
