Science and Politics in
The U.S. and U.S.S.R.
Remember Prof. T. D. 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

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.

By EVE STARR
NEW -YORK The recent announcements by RCA-NBC of con
stant progresses in 3-dimension and color TV research indicates
that film producers who continue to sit tight on their hundreds of
lmf r.'i mniff -film .nmnani.! urmllH K cmT-f tn ill4v
Lmum, tms tj-jnd an(j tnen determine if they want to
" wait "several years" to release their backlogs.
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. STARR SPECIALS: Scott Brady of the films has been set to

The duly appointed authorities
are the ones to run the institu
tion, not the convicts whose law
violations landed them in pris
on. ;
At this juncture the attempt
of Democratic State Chairman
Howard Morgan to make politi
cal capital out of the prison
troubles seems reprehensible.
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.

Russian 'Slip'
Showing .After
Food Refusal
By J. M. 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!! --!
Washington needs to get its guns
cocked. ;
