Lysenko whose re- ... vival of the long discredited WI . inheritance of acquired characters set off quite' an uproar in scientific circles? Recently ;he contributed an article to the Soviet press . t.-4n which he attributed that theory, which be came the official Party - line doctrine for , . . jpommunist science, to Stalin himself. Wheth- 2"" er this was written to open an escape hatch for himself or to offer a posthumous tribute -.to Stalin isn't clear, but some think the for- 1 - mer was his purpose. Perhaps now other sci Z entists who acquiesced in the decision of 5 Stalin (who dabbled also in philology) may r feel it is safe to come out of hiding. The Coos Bay Times relates that Russian challenge to accepted scientific opinion to the Z ' recent attack on the U.S. bureau of standards for its finding that the battery additive AD- XZ had no value. For that rejection the new Secretary of Commerce, Sinclair Weeks, fired Z Dr. Astin, the bureau director. Such a storm C of protest arose from friends of honest re Z search that Weeks restored Astin to his posi- J . tion and acknowledged his professional stand- 2 ing. In the Senate inquiry which followed, - " however, the "catskinner" who promoted the Z sale of the stuff produced letters from satis Z fjed customers and recorders. And Sen. Thye, Z pointing to a stake of orders, said: "That Z means more to me than the technical talk of a bunch of chemists." Such talk shocked The Times which saw in it the ignorance or sel- fishness of the business world battling sci Z entific truth. Z The Times might draw some satisfaction jj from the comment of Julian Huxley on the Lysenko episode. Huxley, a grandson of the -'ttreat writer and lecturer on the Darwinian Z theory and himself a biologist, was an ex Z treme left-winger; and there was some doubt J as to how he would respond to the Lysenko a test. He stood by his science rather than his I political sympathy. In his recent book on I "Evolution in Action" he writes: 3 . . To me, as an evolutionary biologist, the "handling of the Lysenko controversy in the , USSR has been inherently wrong. This is not - merely because the Lysenkoist views are sci t entifically untenable, and yet are being shielded from the free scientific criticism r they would receive elsewhere; not merely be J cause the upshot has been that the promising r unity of world science has been disrupted; but because a political party hai imposed its own - dogmatic view of what must be correct and , Z "incorrect, and so violated the essential spirit ; of science." - Z -However, the attack on. Dr. Astin and the bureau of standards in this country met with - - such prompt resistance from within and with Z out the scientific world that a cabinet officer Z did the-unprecedented thing of restoring As Z tin to his position and standing, even though After Several Compromises With McCarthy I . Eisenhower Appears Ready for Showdown By JOSEPH ALSOP WASHINGTON The fall of Lavrenti Beria may shake the world; but American domestic nolitics are rath leV likely to be i- i - j s a a v c n uj quite different K v v event. President - Eisenhower has . i i j f ai last upciicu rhostilltie s against Senator 4 yV Joseph R. Mc ll 1 Carthy. .1 y I The decisive 1 i ,yf I engagement will ; I be the case of t'-pi!IS William Bundy, : the able official of the Central Intelligence Agency who is McCarthy's new est target The President shows "every sign of the firmest pur pose to oppose . McCarthy on Bundy, even refusing to permit ' - Bundy to respond to McCarthy's subpoena. If Eisenhower does not sur render in this Bandy ease, Mc Carthy will have a hard choice. ' ' He will have to choose between accepting public defeat, or un masking his real purposes by publicly attacking thePresideat kimself. This can be, and may well be, the final turning point The real opening of hostilities, 'however, was the President's 1 incisive statement denouncing the slander of the Protestant clergy by McCarthy's, pet invests gator, J. B. Matthews. The real interest of this statement lies in a .vital background fact The White House actively sought the opportunity, indeed created the opportunity, to strike this hard ' blow at the Wisconsin Senator. I It is aa old story, now, hew Matthews charged that 7,900 Protestant clergymen were te tret agents of Moscow, and how the members of McCarthy, com anittee therefore protected Mat- thew's appointment as head of the committee staff. But how the White House seized upon the Matthews issue Is not aa old s .story. ;l The President's chief of staff, former Governor Sherrasn Adams of New Hampshire, was It he man who decided that Mat . tthews offered the long-awaited ; "really good Issue" on which the President could take his i stand against McCarthy. I Inevitably, Adams was . op- posed by the President's amia V Y" 1 his tenure and Publisher BuainMB 1 of fie 3k? TekuhdfM S-244L theory of the ble but appeasement-minded legislative liaison officer, Maj. General Wilton B. Persons. But the President, who has followed the advice of Persons, this time decided the matter in favor of Adams. It is understood that Vice-President Richard Nixon also gave his approval. Rather cleverly, the White House thea took steps to 'stimu late a telegram denouncing Mat thews from three leaders of the Catholic, Protestant and Jewish faiths, Moasignof John A 0'. Brien, fhe Rev. John Suther land Bonnell and Rabbi Maurice Eisendrath. This was to give the President a reason to speak. Be fore the planned answer to the invited telegram could be pub lished, the Vice-President hur riedly warned that Matthews was about to be dropped by Mc Carthy. The only White House reaction was to give the press the President's fine statement without further delay. In short, the Intention to strike at Mc Carthy was abundantly clear. Meanwhile, the desire to cre ate a diversion drove Senator McCarthy to his attack on Bundy. Bundy, who comes of a distinguished Massachusetts Re publican family, is Dean Ache son's son-in-law. As in acquaint ance of Alger Hiss, he gave $400 to the Hiss defense fund, so that the wrong doer might be fairly tried. The only crimes charged against Bundy are his marriage to one of the most beautiful women in, Washington, and his adherence to the American tradition that every man has a" right to a fair trial. To answer to these crimes, Bundy was sub poenaed by McCarthy. The signiflcanee of the Bundy ease again lies in the back ground. Some time igo, Mc Carthy arrogantly presented Al len Dulles, director of the Cen tral Intelligence Agency, with a list of ten alleged "security riilV whom he "ordered Dalles to dismiss from the CIA. Six of these mem, as it timed out, were not in the CIA's em ploy. Of the other three, a typi cal representative was the al most excessively respectable Robert H. Thayer, son-in-law of former Representative Ruth B. Pratt of New York. Dulles Ig nored McCarthy's order and went to Eisenhower. "' Dulles told Eisenhower that no Intelligence agency; eould was not to be permanent. And - fresh testa of the additive by responsible sci entist were ordered. Attempt of the politi cians to wreck the bureau, if such was their purpose, was foiled. Dr. Astin wasn't a Ly senko; and Weeks ate about the toughest crow, any , cabinet officer has eaten in de cades. ;.. r" i'---':: Disaster Stalks New Tribes Mission So much-tragedy has dogged the members of the New Tribes Mission that if they were predestinarians they might conclude that the Lord's hand was against' them. The death of 14 of their number in a fire in the Mendicino National Forest in California . was just the latest in a series j of calamities which have befallen the group. In June, 1950, their plane bearing ten missionaries and five children' crashed in Venezuela and all were killed. In November of that same year another mission plane crashed in the Wyoming mountains, bringing death to 21, including the director of the Mission, Paul W. Fleming. In addition, five of their missionaries lost their lives in trying to make contact with jungle tribes in Bolivia. The Mission was founded 11 years ago. It is a Protestant, non-sectarian group, whose purpose is to send Christian missionaries to "the uttermost parts of the earth," and part icularly to the remote tribes. They are not re quired to be ordained ministers or to have vspecial skills. The one standard set is "will ingness to serve Christ." Headquarters of the Mission have been in Chico, Cal. It has run a "boot camp" at Fouts Springs in the forest Those in training were sent there and were supposed to earn their way with whatever employment was offered. The faith of the Missioners is stronger than their fears; and they Will not accept this chain of disasters as a sign of Divine disap proval. What they may need to reconsider is the practical value of their methods, and whether it is not better to work with and through established missionary organizations, with long experience in carrying the Gospel to distant places and peoples. Those Offshore Lands Again The State of Arkansas has made a legal at tack on the act of Congress vesting title to offshore lands in the states contiguous there to; and attorney generals of three more states, Alabama, Montana and West Virginia, plan to file another suit challenging the divesti ture. The theory on which they proceed is that Congress lacks .power to transfer to states the jurisdiction over lands where its paramount rights have been confirmed by the courts. Prospect of success for Arkansas and oth ers in their lawsuits looks very dubious. The Supreme Court never said the federal gov ernment "owned" the lands but merely that its rights were paramount. It would seem that Congress, has power to dispose of such rights in the same way it gave extensive land grants to states and to railroads. Congress now is working on legislation to govern exploitation of resources of offshore lands beyond historic state boundaries to the edge of the continental shelf. The Hill amend ment to the Senate bill, which like the states' rights billis being piloted by Senator Cordon, would assign revenues from this source to education; though the language is quite vag ue. Friendly as we are to the cause of educa tion we think the, funds should go directly in to the public treasury to be disbursed through the regular processes of appropriation, possibly continue to operate ef fectively if its employes were : subject to Congressional inquisi tion. He pointed out the impos- , sibility of maintaining secrecy, of keeping "cover," of doing the intelligence job. He said that -he would have to resign if the President could not protect the CIA from such investigators as McCarthy. Eisenhower then promised to support Dulles to the limit McCarthy was warned that the President had taken this posi tion. Hence' his attempt to sub poena Bundy was and is a frank and open challenge to the President The matter was taken up In the National Security Council on Thursday. The deci sion was unanimously taken to order Bundy not to, respond to the subpoena, under the doc trine of the separate, powers of the Legislative ancr Executive branches. McCarthy began his public at tack. on. Bundy before -Vice-President Nixon could inform Mm of the Security Council's decision which might have made him draw back. He has since tried, without result to blackguard and. bully .Allen Dulles into submission. There ijio question that the Adminis--""uation will yield on the Bundy subpoena. But the faint hearts ia the White House are as usual urging "compromise" in this case, the transfer of Bundy to a less sensitive job, which Mc Carthy would of course claim as , a complete victory. ! Yet It Is hard to believe that the President will again appease the Wisconsin Senator. Even ia - the case of Paul H. Nltse, whose Defense Department appoint ment McCarthy was allowed to veto, the President's approval of the veto seems to have been oecvred withaat a fall, ezplaiia tin of the facta. Af4ay rate, the President himself hai now moved to offer Mtze another hlh appointment.' also ia the CIA. In short, the real Eisenhower. the man of courage and high principle, who does not a trese and will not yield to blackmail, at . last seems to be taking charge. If this happens,' it will be a very sad day for the junior Senator from Wisconsin. ! (0?yrt(kt 1SJ New York Herald Tribune. lne. Inside TV ...

Right now there is a big demand for TV entertainment of any and all types, including films. These film executives might just wait too long until the television industry has developed its color processes and 3D, too, to the point where the average viewer won't accept anything else. Once an audience has been exposed to some thing new, it isn't easily satisfied with anything less. INSIDE STUFF: It's being kept as quiet as possible, but a $1,000,000 TV circulation measurement plan, the-industry's equiva lent to newspapers' and magazines' Audit Bureau of Circulation, is almost ready for unveiling by the National Association of Radio and Television Broadcasters. This project involves mail, phone and personal-interview sur veys of every county in the nation which has TV. This plan will be submitted to network, agency and advertis ing executives late' this month. The basis of the plan proves that this department's recent suggestion of television awards to per formers based on the preferences of the TV audience is practical. These awards, as noted previously, could be made on the re sults of surveys by phone and mail and, to a lesser extent by in terview.

Ho puts the blame on the Re publican Board of Control for oustiig Warden O'Malley and installing: Gladden as Warden. The conditions at the prison fully justified the change, made it imperative, in fact Morgan will not get far with his parti san campaign if he bases it on the O'Malley record. There is only one thing for the board of control to do and that is to back up the warden. What be is doing is showing those in his custody that they must observe prison discipline. The lesson has been costly to the state which stands to lose over $100,000 in property val ues; but it is the price organized society has to pay if it is going to preserve order. As for the prisoners, there is no need to waste any sympathy with them. They can receive the normal treatment of inmates whenever they show they will be amenable to prison regulations.

ROBERTS Jr. Associated Press NewsiAaalyst Communist guards at the frw Curtain have been turned into a barrier between the people of East Germany and the food they need. Soviet Russia, whose bureaucra cy usually moves to bumbling m even the simplest of matters, took only a! few hours to decide that she had. rather risk the wrath of the subject people than to admit . public ty. that any area under Com munist control aeeded help from the capitalist world. When ! the subject of an Ameri can offer of food was broached' in this column on July 1 it was suggested that the Communists would attempt to wriggle out of accepting it with the bald claim that it is not aeeded, sod that is just what happened, it Russia now claims she has aided East Germany with food supplies and that she will send more if necessary. No testimony of that has come- from any German source.' General knowledge of the bum bling Russian system raises the question of whether she could even if she! Would. All she can do is cry that the food problem was cre ated by "Texas shirters" leading the Berlin riots. (Texas will un-; doubly add another medal to her lipansrve and beribboned chest) ) .':.-.. t-: t. Russia looks from this distance as if her slip is showing again; that her weaknesses are so wide- sp:eaa sne must try to save face at all costs, even in tha mrint nt refusing such a humanitarian ges ture. By the same token, ber rapid and frantic reaction to tfie food offer is sufficient to indicate that the U.jS. has struck one of the most telling blows since the Berlin blockade forced Russia badly out of position in 1948. It is an example of initiative hi the Cold war. It was a situation made to or der. The East Germans were cry ing foe; food. The U. S. had plenty of it -r enough in Europe to start the ball rolling, warehouses full of surplus at home- To offer aid was a - traditional American reaction, regardless of the cold war. To put Russia! in the position of either admitting that Communism didn't work e-r. of denying food to the hungry was a natural. j ,. Nowj to put the food where the needy 1 can almost smell it. but where they cannot reach it through tbe Iron Curtain,, caps the climax. There-has been one fault in the American operation. It was too slow.! )t suggests that Washington is not;) set to jump at such oppor tunities as they develop. The internal situation in Russia, the increasing evidence of well or ganized and disciplined under grounds In the Satellites, the level of power attained by the free world since" it began to mobilize in 1948, are sure signs that the opportuni ties will be more and more fre quent!! --!
