Knowledge and
"Know thyself" has been the advice of the
sages since long before the Christian era. Plut
arch ascribes it to the Delphic oracle, in one in
stance, and other wise men have referred to it as
a sound precept.
"To thine own self be true," is another bit of
related advice, placed in Polonius' mouth by
Shakespeare, which is widely , quoted and ac
knowledged. .v .-
The wisdom of this advice to know oneself,
and to be tine to what you know thereby, is so
universal as to be almost a cliche.
AN extension of, and elaboration on, this
theme was made recently by one of America's
most distinguished scientists and scholars. He
said that the "understanding of the scope, depth
and nature of our ignorance should be among the
primary purposes of education."
He was speaking specifically of the fact that
many of the little "communities" which make up
our society the "community" of science, the
"community" of art, the "community" of politics
do not communicate clearly with one another.
... i i m 1
As a result, he indicated, there is a lacK oi under
standing of the viewpoints, the successes and fail
ures, of large groupings of our fellows.
FOR instance, only a
of the world of nuclear
mathematics. "
These men can talk
ing, but for the great body of the rest of us, it is
difficult, well-nigh impossible, to discuss science
on the same plane, and with the same understand
ing, as those who deal with it day by day. .
This is the same problem (and we think it is
a real one m today s society) discussed here pre
viously that of the specialist and the generalist
The specialist is the acknowledged master of
one discipline, the generalist is the jack of all dis
ciplines but master of none.
"UR scientist (Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimei
director of the Institute for Advanced Studies
at Princeton, writing in the current Harper's mag
azine) believes that by defining our own areas
of ignorance we will have a clearer understand
ing of others not necessarily so much what
they are doing and thinking, but at least of their
motivations, and of our relationships to them imd
their work. t , . , ;
This, he points out, involves education not'
only education as usually thoughjt of, high school
and college but the continuing education, the
schooling oneself in the disciplines of thought,
that can continue through life.
IN the wide spectrum of America today, the only
1 field in which communication is universal and
easy is in the limited one of public affairs poli
tics, entertainment, disasters, international af
fairs. '
And in each of these,
levels of public knowledge, understanding, and
ability to communicate.
It may.be that this is
of today, more difficult, even, than the language
barrier which separates nations, for that is- at
least acknowledged. The problem of "inter-group
communications" (as some call it) often is not.
There is no easy, pat solution, as is the case in
so many thorny situations. It will be solved only
with broadened and increased education, with a
knowledge of self, and with the understanding
that what one does not know about is not neces
sarily inimical or dangerous. E. A.
Two-Party County
The Democrats didn't quite hit their goal of
exceeding the Republicans in the total number
of registered voters. But they came close enough
so that it doesn't make much if any practical dif
ference. So, after all these years, we have, in effect, a
"two-party" county, in which the numerical
strength of one party is virtually the same as
that of the other.
However, even in the days of undisputed Re
publican ascendancy, it was the "independent
voter" who made the decisions. That is more true
than ever today, and something which dedicated
partisans, in both parties, should bear in mind.
It means that only the best candidates, the
cleanest campaigns, the most knowledgeable platforms,-
stand much chance of success.
Which, as the saying goes, is A Good Thing.

Battle on
Slated To
By Congressional Quarterly
Washington - (CQ) - Debate
over the ; American citizen's
right to travel will be resumed
in January when the Presi
dent again asks Congress for
a comprehensive passport law.
The legislators adjourned
without acting on the Admin
istration bill, despite the
President's warning that
each day and week that passes
without it exposes us to great
danger."
The issue rose June 16 when
the Supreme Court, in a 5-4
decision, ruled that the Secre
tary of State had no authority
to deny passports to American
Communists and feUow trav
elers. Two Withheld
The State Department's
Passport Office immediately
issued passports to the two ap
plicants whose suits were up
held by the Court-RockweU
Kent and Dr. Walter, Briehl.
To date,, passports have been
issued to more' than 400 ap
plicants who might have been
turned down on the same
grounds of alleged Communist
acitivity, and no applications
have been denied.
"I cannot say that they hxk
all espionage agents or cour
iers for the Communist party,"
Deputy Under Secretary of
State Robert D. Murphy told
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee July 16. "I can
say that, on the basis of their
records and out past expe
rience, we have every reason
to believe that they are going
abroad to make some contri
bution to the international
Communist movement."
There is little dispute in
Congress over the desirability
of giving the Government the
power to curb the free move
ment of Communist : agents
across U. S. borders. The
House, in fact, passed a limit
ed bill authorizing the Secre
tary of State to deny passports
to such applicants, but the bill
died in the Senate.
Definition Difficulty
The difficulty lies in defin
ing the precise limits of the
authority to be given the Sec
retary over passport matters.
The Court's decision turned
on a narrow point and avoid
ed the issue of constitutional
ity; the majority opinion sug
gests, however, that the Court
might have serious reserva
tions concerning terms of the
Administration's proposed
passport bill, which the Presi
dent is expected to resubmit
in January.
"The hight to travel is a
part of the 'liberty' of which
the citizen cannot be deprived
without the due process of
law of the Fifth Amendment,"
the Court said. The. Adminis
tration bill would allow the
Secretary to deny a passport
to anyone who "knowingly
engages or has engaged, with
in 10 years prior to filing the
passport application, in activi
ties in furtherance of the in
ternational Communist move
ment." This language, the
American Civil Liberties Un
ion says, could be used to
deny passports to "many loyal
and anti-Communist Ameri
cans who have, on civil liber
ties grounds, protested certain
governmental action against
Communists."
Another Question
"Another question is raised
by the Administration bill's
provision for challenging the
denial of a passport in Federal
court. This would prevent the
court from examining the
"closed record" of secret in
formation on which the Sec
retary might base his decision
to deny a passport. Whether
the use of confidential infor
mation in this fashion accords
with due process has yet to be
decided by the Supreme
Court.
A third issue concerns the
provision that would make it
illegal for those holding pass
ports to travel in countries
placed off limits by the Secre
tary of State for any one oi
I
Passports
Resume
several reasons. The authority
to place geographical limita
tions on the right to travel has
been exercised for some time
as a prerogative of the Execu
tive Branch in its conduct of
foreign policy.
That authority is being chal
lenged by William Worthy, a
reporter who is suing the Sec
retary to force renewal of his
passport. Worthy, who visit
ed Red China an "off-limits"
area has refusedl to abide by
any geographical limitations
in the future.
These and other disputed
points suggest the difficulty
Congress will have in recon
ciling the Secretary of State's
demand for broad authority in
passport matters with the
Court's statement that "we
will construe narrowly aU
delegated "powers that curtail
or , dilute" the citizen's right
to travel.

On Franking Privilege'
To the Editor: Congressman
Charles O. Porter is using the
taxpayer's money to carry on
his political campaign.
Porter recently mailed out
campaign material postage
free, by using his congression
al franking privilege.
Some of this mail was per
sonally addressed, and some
of it was simply marked "box
holder" and falls into the cate
gory commonly known as
"junk mail." In this cSse, I
can think of no more appro
priate name for it.
The material was a "re
print" of a piece of political
propaganda inserted in the
Congressional Record la s t
August by Porter. While the
reprint is marked 'not printed
at government expense,' cer
tainly somebody has to pay
for handling and delivering
this mail, and that somebody
is the taxpayer.
I am going to ask for a
legal opinion on an office
holder using his franking
privilege to mail a mass of
material that is openly partis
an political material.
This may or may not be
legal, but certainly everyone
will agree that it is morally
wrong for an officeholder to
squander the taxpayer's
money to try to perpetuate
himself in office. It shows the
low regard Porter has for
economy. Worse, it is close
to out-and-out fraud, since Por
ter is using tax money to
further his own ends.

Hints of New Unrest Contained In
Middle-East Diplomatic Dispatches
By K. C. THALER
UPI Correspondent
London -1UPD- The strategic
Middle East is once again in
ferment.
Fresh cracks have been ap
pearing in the newly-welded
front of the young Arab struc
ture. And Russia, always ready
to exploit any possible open
ing, has been losing no time
in its untiring efforts to gain
new footholds in the explosive
area.
The prime scene of action
has shifted in the past few
days from Lebanon and Jor
dan back to the inner-Arab
field where old feuds and new
differences are once again
rearing their heads.
Diplomatic dispatches
reaching here have conveyed
the definite impression that
all is not well, and that far
from having been consolidat
ed, the Middle East situation
is more fluid and fuller of
potential surprise than it has
been for some time past.
Information Unavailable
The absence of reliable de
tailed information on what is
happening inside the Arab
setup has added to the uncer
tainties which surround the
latest developments in the
Middle East.
Attention was drawn dra
matically to these trends a
few days ago by reports of a
foiled coup in Iraq against the
rule of Premier Karim Kas
sem. The reports claimed that
Kassem foiled a pro-Nasser
attempt by Colonel Abdul Sa
lim Aref who, together with
Kassem, overthrew the re
gime of King Faisal last sum
mer. These reports since have
been denied by the Baghdad
government. But Aref, de
scribed as a supporter of close
alignment of Iraq with the
United Arab Republic, has
lost his top government posts
and has instead been sent as
envoy to Bonn. '
- Whatever the details of the
situation, diplomatic reading
was that Iraq's course remains
uncertain, although Kassem
has emerged as the present
victor from the apparent in
ternal conflict
Baghdad Aligned with UAR
Since then, several events
have occurred which were
held to have added to the ap
parent fresh conflict of inter
ests in the area:
-Iran has signed a trade
pact with Russia which brings
thfe Soviet into closer relation
ship with yet another Arab
country.'
-Simultaneously, Baghdad
has concluded a trade agree
ment with the United Arab
Republic.

Recall Hillman's Party Power
By LYLE C. WILSON
Washington- (UPD A scatter

political issue

that Walter P.

The Democratic response
has been more to defend Reu

beliefs than to deny that he
is, indeed, powerful in the
party councils. No such denial
would suffice anyway, since
on the record is the political
fact that it was Reuther in
1956 who had the power to
break the back of opposition
to the nomination of Adlai E.
Stevenson for president.
Reuther has become a key
man in the Democratic Party
by reason of his political
know-how and his position in
the labor movement. He is no

Wel-l-I-1-
Our moon rocket failed to
reach the, moon - either to
circle around it or to smack
into it.
But-
It went higher than any
thing had ever gone before
30 times higher than the high
est known previous flight, this
morning's dispatches tell us.
That takes care of Sputnik.
THE financial wires tell us
that when the market
opened Monday morning New
York stocks advanced strong
ly as a result of the week end
moon shot. The tickers fell
late twice during the first
hour of trading. In the open
ing flurry, gains ran to over
two points.
That is to say:
The moon shot RESTORED
OUR CONFIDENCE in our
selves.
WHAT happened? -; -
The moon missile was
propelled by a Series of
rockets. The Air Forcescien
tists explain that the rockets
that were to carry it through
to completion of its mission
failed to ignite.' The scientists
think the extreme cold of out
er SDace affected : the - bat
teries that were to touch the
final rockets off.
In other words-
If the . ignition system of
your car fails the car stops,
even though you have plenty
of gas in th4 tank. Back in
the early days of automobiles,
ignition failures were very
common indeed. Now they are
rare.
The conclusion is that the
time will come when the final
rockets won't fail to ignite.
Then, presumably, we'll get a
look at the other side, of the
moon.
TTOW high
did the rocket
get?
The scientists, watching the
reports from its instruments,
put the distance at 68,880
NAUTICAL miles. A .nauti
cal mile is equal to about 1.15
land miles. That puts the alti
tude of the rocket at 79,212
land miles. , '
HOW come nautical miles?
Well, it's hard to mea
sure an exact mile on water.
So, in earlier days of sailing,
ships carried a device called
a log, which was dragged be
hind the ship and caused a
line to unreel. The line was
knotted at intervals of 47 feet,
three inches. At the end of
the first interval was one
knot. Two knots marked the
end of the second, and so on.
The line was allowed to
run tor zb seconds, xwemy
eight seconds is to. one hour
what 47 feet, three inches is
to 6,080 feet. Therefore if the
log had pulled out five knots
in the line in 28 seconds the
sailors knew the ship was
moving at a speed of five
knots.
Hence the length of the
"nautical" mile.i Hence also
the use of the word "knot"
instead of the world "mile"
in referring to nautical dis
tances and speeds.

FDR had okeyed Byrnes with
the qualification, "clear it
with Sidney."
Hillman balked at Byrnes
and out of the disagreement
came the nomination of Harry
S. Truman of Missouri for vice
president of the United States.
He also was acceptable to
FDR. Some months later Tru
man became President so it
must be that Hillman's veto
has left its mark on history.
Story Backed by Byrnes
Arthur Krock of the New
York Times wrote the "Clear
it with Sidney" story shortly
after it happened. As Krock
recalls it now, "all concerned
denied that story, Roosevelt,
Truman, Hillman, Hannegan
and the rest."
There it lay until now. To
day was published Byrnes' au
tobiography, "All In a Life
time." (Harper, $5). Byrnes
relates that there was a Chi
cago hotel room meeting on
the nomination eve at which
all concerned were advised
that FDR wanted and would
accept Byrnes ' for , second
place.
"However, at the end of the
gathering," - Byrnes wrote,
"while were standing and just
about to leave, Hannegan
turned to (Ed) Kelly arid said:
'Ed, there was one thing we
forgot. The President said:
Clear it with Sidney'."
"Kelly agreed that the
President had made that re
quest." " Kefly was Democratic po
litical boss in Illinois. -
Byrnes quotes Al Whitney,
president of the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen, as say
ing he had tried to persuade
Hillman to accept Byrnes but
