PeriIous Washington

In Washington the greatest deliberative
body on the globe deliberates. Among
other things, this great deliberative
body finds time to govern the District
Of Columbia. Well, then, why is it
that there has been a brisk sale of tear
gas pencils" among women who fear
to venture on the streets Of the great
city Of Washington without some wea-
pom? Where are the police? And where
is the Congress Of the United States,
that it allows its own bailiwick to come
to such a pass?

The Next Kennedy

Reporters recently asked Attorney
General Robert Kennedy whether he
planned to run for President in 1868.
Naturally, the Attorney General said
he did not under any circumstances and
that, if nominated, he, would not accept
the nomination.
But giving him credit for being frank
and sincere, he says he does not plan to
run. Other reporters have suggested
that younger brother, Senator Edward
Kennedy, might be ready to run for the
nations top job in 1868.
The speculation is interesting but the
facts and political tradition and circum-
stance are such that no Kennedy will

forming artists, who may prefer to be
recorded only under contract, this is
doubtless most desirable. Nor is the

that stirs champions to rise to
his defense. Still, here is one
his defense. Still, here is one
of the many encroachments on indi-
vidual freedom that come with the
growing complexity of our way of
life.

Dear Friends:

Dear Friends:
Sunday afternoon while Hayes
entertained some amateur radio
operators in his "Ham" room I
took the children In the car
with me and we drove into
Washington to see the remain
ing blossoms on the Japanese
cherry trees. We had a fifty
mile an hour wind here last
week and much Of the beauty OF
the trees was "gone with the
wind"
We went at the height Of the
pageant at the Washington Monu-
ment and we were deep In heavy
traffic before we realized 1t.
Every place we tried to turn, to
return to the Virginia side OF
the bridge, there would be q
policeman directing us else
where. Leslie, in the meantime,
fell asleep and by the time we
did get near the blossoms she
was "long gomez.
I guess we will not be home
for Easter. Since Leslie Is only
4-1/2 she is really looking for
ward to the Easter Bunny's ar
rival and I guess we'll welcome
him here In Alexandria. Last
year we went to the sunrise
service at Mt. Vernon and en-
joyed 1t SO much I expect Well
repeat our same schedule this
year. The weekend Of the 10th
we're invited to a party In Mil
ford and we hope to come home
for that. Surely is wonderful
to be nearby and come and go
as we wish.
In the mail the other day we
we're notified by letter that DR..
and Mrs. William Roy will be
in Washington the 26th of April.
DR.. Roy is the obstetrician who

A Snip At Freedom

1t is an unassailable truism that life,
in most respects, is getting more COM
plicated all the time. It also seems to
be true that as life grows more COM
plex there is a tendency to narrow
iown the range Of freedom.
This was illustrated in small yet
significant way when the regents of a
large university voted to ban the use
of tape recorders by members of the
audience at musical programs on the

BABSON DISCUSSES:
SPECULATING in "SEEDS"

Babson Park, Mass, April IL.
AS earlier stated, I believe that
the two industries which now
have the greatest future are
electronics and synthetics. OF
course, another discovery may
at any time occur which will
put some other industry In a

see much on the horizon at
present unless 1t is In con-
nection with seeds.

We hear today only Of
the wonders of chemistry, cleo
tronics, and space travel in
cluding ''going to the moon"
But we must not forget the work
Of humble botanists and biolo-
gists. We may now be on the
verge OF the discovery of an
artificial origin of life cells

tact. The elements that may

Experiments in this field often
go unnoticed by the public. But
scientists are working with
these chemicals which have such
miraculous possibilities. One Of
the greatest mysteries is the ef-
feet Of sunlight in turning the
leaves and the grass green; this
process is known as photosyn-
thesis. When its secret is dis
covered, this will be very revo-
lutionary and will form the basis

Thus the Congress. shares with the

to me, therefore, that the Congress

and cut the budget down to reasonable
proportions. By 50 doing it will per-

WHAT OF THE FUTURE?
Biologists are now using ami
mails to make experiments as
to the effect Of radiation and
c ert ain chemicals on the
chromosomes that determine
our heredity. I understand that
the Atomic Energy Commission
is using seeds Of vegetables to
study the same effects. When
their results are released. the
laboratories of the important
seed companies may discover
how some of their seeds will
develop entirely different vege-
tables or fruits and many valu-
able vegetables or flowers.
When this discovery is made,
the stocks of the alert seed
companies could suddenly rise
greatly in price. Therefore, Il
urge readers of this column to
read elementary books on bot
any and biology and Inheritance.
It is possible that the wonders
accomplished by Professor Elm
stein in his Princeton laboratory
in turning the atom into
energy the scientists working
in the laboratories of certain

Fishery Legislation To Promote Research

Almost score of witnesses this week testified overwhelming ly in favor of Senator Bartlett's bill authorizing a five-year com- mercial fishery research program, with support also given to measure to include the owner operators of documented fishing vessels as recipients of Public Health Service hospital and med ical care and a bill authorizing the Secretary of the Interior to construct two trawlers to be used for experimental commercial fish ing and research.
 The three bills were considered by the Senate Merchant Marine and Fisheries Subcommittee of the Commerce Committee in two days of hearings conducted by Senator Bartlett.
 Research and Development
 The Bartlett bill to promote commercial fishery research and development projects, co-sponsor- ed by 30 Senators, would author ize an annual $5 million appropri- ation for a five-year period to be apportioned among states hav- ing commercial fisheries and would include American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico and the Vir- gin Islands. The funds would be apportioned on a 75 federal-25 state matching basis according to the extent of commercial fisheries in each state as represented by the value of the raw fish harvest ed by domestic fishing vessels and received within each state, plus the average value of the
