When the particular circumstance which prompted the outcry is forgotten the subject is dropped until there is a repeat oc currence." But a major reasonwhy nothing is done is. that our authorities hardly "know what to 3o. It was! to obtain information as a basis for possible 'social action that the. legislature of California set up a research project in this area of sex crimes. The final report of the four-year study has just been made by Dr.' Karl Bowman, medical superintendent of the Langley Porter Clinic in San Francisco. As far as offering a simple solution the report is negative. It states that ."Research to date indicates that the causes of destructive forms of sexual deviation lie deep in the 'personal ity of the deviate and deep in the culture in which he is reared." Laws cannot cure those defects. As for what to do, the report goes on to say: "A full-scale preventive program requires not only increased educational services, but also mental hygiene services for detecting and treating personality difficulties.in their early stages, and research aimed at finding answers to the many unsolved problems of sexual de viation." " The state superintendent . of mental hy giene, Dr. Hapaport, expressed his agree ment with the findings of Dr. Bowman, and interpreted them as indicating there better ways of handling the sexual dSate than' placing him in jail or in mentepnpspi tals. At the same time he admp&at psy chiatry has been "oversoldas a means of detecting dangerous jfs&ffenders and of , providing a permanene. . All of which addjStffto the conclusion that given the biological and psychological his tory of human beings and the variety of their environmental conditions we may ex- pect a continuity proportion of those who deviate from the norm to become perverts, alcoholics, criminals. Intelligent efforts may reduce the number and salvage some who have fallen, and those efforts must be varied. -and continuous; but eradicating the evil of human nature is not yet in sight.' ; Loss by Delay on PoWer Dams - i Representatives of the Corps of Engineers i s well as a delegation of citizens .from the' Northwest have appeared' before the House ! appropriations committee to urge increases in the budgeted allowances for work oh dams f now in the construction stage. They had a f. very powerful argument not only for avert ing a power shortage within the next few ; years but also to get an early start on the1 return flow of revenue from the dams. Reductions at The Dalles would delay the. if schedule for installing generators by a year, ' and the last of the 14 would not go into place ; until late ' 1961. At Chief Joseph darn the ; delay of a year would deprive the govern ment of $7,900,000 in revenues. , This is a valid argument which ought to I carry much weight with Congress. Appro : priations for ; power projects are not just ' "expenditures"; they are investments, and the money is to .be returned "in full to the treasury. We hope the committee gives an attentive ear to these appeals. 'MV FRANS !' &uit Against Tobacco Companies A factory worker in St. Louis is suiiig four tobacco manufacturers and a grocery store group for $250,000 because of lung cancer which he attributes to his habit of smoking -about two packs of cigarets a day. He bases his claim on the alleged warranty of the makers and vendors that their brands were free of harmful substances, j t r He is just riding the crest of the recent . wave of publicity over tobacco tars as a possible cause of lung cancer. He didn't buy cigarets and smoke them on the basis of any warranty but simply because he had formed the smoking habit and liked to 'smoke. Un doubtedly his mother told him it was a bad ' habit; but he, like a, lot of other boys (and . now girls) didn't, heed her warning If he wins his Suit a rash of -other suits will follow; and alcoholics will sue distilleries on account of "their 'cirrhosis of the liver and DTs. Really a man should be held responsi- ( blejfdr his own follies. Schools and Religious Classes The Sajem school board acted wisely in Indicating its disapproval of releasing stu dents during the regular hours for holding scfetiol that-toey-Tnay" attend classes in re ligion in churches or homes. The school must plan its day and provide a Jeduler'for"tts owji classes. To allow studentsno cdme and go so they may attend classes outside the, school would interfere with their attend ance at regularly scheduled school classes. "The churches should arrange their reli gious instruction at times nqtconflicting with the schools. It is notjust a matter of keeping church and state separate. It is a very practical matterf or the proper con duct , of the schools and helping them to do the job for- which they are established. Roger M. Kyes who has resigned as deputy secretary of defense to return to private life, did a good job as understudy to Secretary Charles E. Wilson. He was plenty tough with the admirals and generals; but he had to be to get the vast military spending ma chine under control. It is only natural for every officer to think the security, of the country depends chiefly on his own divis ion. He fails to see the needs and the duties of other branches of service. The green ci vilian administrator , who walks into a mul titude of bureaus can't see the forest for the trees. But Roger. Kyes soon found his way about, and charted trails through the) woods. His successor is Robert B. Anderson who was a very successful businessman down in Texas before he was "made secretary of the Navy. So far' he has kept outof political hassles quite successfully, which may have been a point in his favor. At least he didn't surrender the Navy to a senator. ; Again the British papers are predicting the early retirement of Sir Winston Church-X ill as prime minister. He has had firmly in - mind the lelief that a top level conference i might bring the cold , war to an end or at x least minimize the tension that exists. Berlin must have shattered much of that faith, and Geneva in April may finish the job.

Wayne Morse. Two Asiatic Leaders Give Advance to U.N. Spirit of international Cooperation for Asia fey J. M. ROBERTS JR. 'Associated Press News Analyst : Two Asiatic leaders haVe now come out against the idea of "Asia for the Asiatics" which the Jap anese fostered during the war and which has since then played so strongly into the hands of the Com munists. President Magsaysay P toe, Philippines repudiated his own for eign office for an impromptu pro mulgation ot the slogan. Magsaysay reacted no faster than Premier P. Pibul Songgram of Thailand, who compared it with what an "America for Americans" program would mean. , - e e The "Asia for the Asiatics" idea has been used from many angles for years. It has played a role in practically every nationalistic movement against Western colon ialism. Japan used it very effectively in Indochina and Indonesia. It was easily adapted to the Com munist campaign in China. It now plays an unexpressed role in India, where suspicion of the West is coupled with neutralism and the hope that India will, at tain greater world status through a role as mediator between Rus sia and the West. e '.. . It plays its part in the Bumv 'ese and Indonesian decisions to keep their skirts as clear as pos sible of western influences even at the expense of economic aid they seriously need. It is of extreme importance to the United States and to the whole Western world mat the Philippines specially, representing SO years of American tutelage, shall not five the impression to the rest of Asia that the experience left any thing except mutual respect It is true that there is a reac tion in the Philippines against for-. eign control of so much of tneir business. This followed heavy in vestment of Chinese refugee mon ey after the war, producing -a sit uation in which American invest ors gradually came to be includ ed.- , :v- .V. . .- '. : Buf thetPhffippinesthaveradapt-H d American doctrine to their own ' seeds and established ..a govern ment which, though still creaking from the effects of political im maturity among the people, can nevertheless be cited as a model for hitherto submerged peoples who are taking over their own af fairs. ! It would be a pity for them to cut themselves off from full par ticipation in affairs of the world just when they are in position to start cooperating as a truly free people. It would also be a pity lor mem to do anything tending to open the door to a new colonialism in Asia. Yet that is exactly what the Com munists intend. And Asia does not ' seem to fully understand that the colonial policy of the .Communists would make the formerly-dominating nations of Europe look like a bunch of fairy godmothers. v , Bom Magsaysay and Pibul Song gram advanced the idea of inter national cooperation in the spirit of the United Nations is the true guiding light for Asia. If they could get campaign like that go ing the whole area would be better off. The idea cannot be imposed from outside. ; v McQoy Denies McCarthy Claim NEW YORK LB -1. John J. Mc Cloy, former assistant secretary of war, Thursday denied charges by Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis) that a war time policy let "undesirables' into the Army. McCoy-said the Army's policy in World War II concerning politi cal loyalty was "entirely sound." He suggested that many of the men to whom McCarthy apparent ly referred "were decorated for valor and not a few were killed in action in the service of their coun try." , - Inside TV Eddie Fisher I j Long, Bright !

Tattooing Used on Birthmarks Though the art of tatooing is often thought of in connection with a picture of a pretty girl on a sailor's arm, it has been prac ticed for countless years for iden tification, adornment, or surpris ingly enough, for medical pur poses. Its medical , usages came about as early as the second cen tury to remedy defects in skin coloration of birthmarks. , - , Birthmarks ! have long been a trying problem to people who have such defects on. the ace or some other part of the body. They often are a port wine color and the color may stand out ao great ly fas to be most disfiguring. Those suffering from this condi tion may have great difficulty' in making personality adjustments. '4,' ':'- '.-' Many methods have been used with not too much success in try ingtoireat this condition of the skin. Dry ice, ultraviolet or sun light, electric current, and Xray and radium treatments have all been tried. However, with most of these treatments the majority of the cases develop much sear tis sue This tissue has been, in many instances, more noticeable jmd objectionable' than the- original birthmark. i " " - '. ... Recent advances in the field of plastic- surgery have - aroused hopes that the process of cutting out the birthmark, followed by skin grafting, might prove satis factory in the case of small birth marks. However, when large ar eas have to be cut, this method has not proved satisfactory be cause the skin must be taken from parts of the body where the texture and coloring differs from that of the face. I r In a certain number of cases where the birthmark lies deep be neath the skin, medical tattooing has proven to be helpful in treat ing the. lesion cosmetically. Cer tain pigments or coloring matter that do not dissolve ox are not absorbed are . injected into the skin underlying the birthmark, ! until the blending of the skin with the birthmark is achieved." The pigments are carefully mat ched with the rest of the skin. It has been found that almost 83 per cent of the persons treated in this manner had satisfactory camouflaging of their birthmarks. As in many of the treatments used today, our, sceintists have returned to the arts of their pre decessors to find a satisfactory so lution for 'a- difficult problem. : QUESTION AND ANSWER i W. E.
