0 Truman ees foreign Ministers' Meetin, ress Vital Prog SO as Noise at Cocktail Parties Contradicts Scientific Principle By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Edilor New York-UIPD-One scien tist's scientific observation at cocktail parties is that the 7 ""jtPT- noise "is prac- lorm in xne center of the n i, ki.i (Tv fCp . drPs "off di" L rectly at tne r.f-j 1 cage or cor- i room, i n a l fiCcJ would be all Delos Smith verv well p v- eept it contradicts a scientific principle. The principle is that "when Sfcere is a diffuse sound field w an enclosed space, the und pressure level increases three decibels at the boun flry," said Dr. Howard C. Hardy, an acoustical scientist from Chicago. He lamented that science seems to under stand little about the noise and other phenomena gener ated among people by mar tinis and closeness. He called for a real scien tific effort to get the answers and suggested a young scien tist could make such a study the basis for his doctorate. He'd had to be dedicated, of course, Hardy said in making his suggestion to the Acousti cal Society of America, be cause it "may be difficult to preserve the proper attitude of scientific detachment."

"Our ORTHO' program is, by far, the most economical" Tve compared the cost of spray materials very closely and have found our ORTHO program to be, by far, the most economical,'' states Eldon Zicker, owner of Totem Pole Ranch, Yakima, Wash, pictured above right, discussing his ORTHO program with Fieldman Vernon Langemack. "There is certainly no doubt that the extensive ORTHO research and product development program benefits the grower in terms of dollars and cents." Don't delay start an ORTHO program today! This report is just one of many received from leading growers who have found that an ORTHO program has helped them grow better quality crops.

There is an ORTHO FieMman in this area i the effect of time, space, age, social level, sex-a dangerous area-and many other factors, he said. "There are, perhaps, international variations such as cold-war tension, language, accent and space required for elbow motion." As a starter toward the studies which he hoped some young scientist would under take, he contributed his own scientific observations. Among them were these: Once the acoustical balance is established at a successful cocktail party, the sound pres sure level is independent of the acoustical conditions of the place where the party is being held-that is, it is the same whether it is held in a room or outdoors on a lawn. Yet there is a definite dif ference in the- quality of the noise, "depending on whether the affair is stag, doe, or mix ed. Average age has only a slight effect." "After a certain warm-up period, there is a thermody namic change of state from a condition where there are more sound receivers than emitters, to the opposite con dition. This is marked by a rise in the thermal and acous tic level." But the rate of increase in the sound level up to the point where the noise is balanced in the center of the pack "has a strong dependence oij the productivity of the bartend ers. This appears also to have something to do with the in troduciton of negative resist ance in the internal circuits of the sound sources."

FRED DANNIELSON MEDFORD, OREGON Can SPring 3-5718 MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. 8 TUESDAY, APRIL 28, 1959 Miss Robinson Has Articles Printed Ashland - Two articles by Miss Helene M. Robinson, act ing chairman of the Southern Oregon college music depart ment, are in the current issue of the Oregon Music1 Educa tor. "How Can We Teach For Excellence?" defends the goal of excellence for music stu dents. In this article, Miss Robinson affirms that "teach ing for excellence is not easy. There are no short cuts; and there is no tradition of excel lence in America as there is in older European cultures." By maintaining a conviction that it is worthwhile and a faith that students can achieve it, excellence can and will be obtained. Good planning, accuracy, technical skill, interpretation, intensive study, creativity, performance, and leadershio, are the contributing factors in leading to the achievement of excellence in musicianship ac cording to the article. Miss Robinson's second con tribution cites the values ac crueing to music students who join and activelv participate in their professional organi zation, the Music Educators National Conference.

Now that we have a conditional comit- ment for another meeting at the "summit" I hope that the coming meeting of the foreign ministers in Geneva, with the new Secretary of State par ticipating, will make it clear that he is the direct instrument of the President and that use ful decisions and understand ings can be reached in dealing through him. And if there is to be a "summit" meeting, preparations by the foreign ministers are vital to any hope for progress and achieve ment there. If all critical issues were to be deferred for discussion and final settlement at a meeting of the heads of state, we would find ourselves in a hopeless jam and in an im possible position. Special Importance In my opinion, in view of all that has transpired in the past weeks, the meeting at Geneva takes on special im portance and should be more than a maneuver or just a technical procedure leading to a meeting of the heads of state If the meetings at Geneva first faces up to the immediate critical issues and is conduct ed in good faith, it will have an important bearing on whether there can be any basis tor success at tne sum mit" and on the prospects for peace. I hope that what hap pens at Geneva will enable us to continue talks with the Russians in our efforts to save the peace. If the forthcoming visit of the Vice President to Moscow can help in some way, and if it provides the Kremlin with an opportunity to clear some of the air, then I am all for it. The Vice President not only will carry with him the pres tige of his office, but will go as a special instrument of the President. Should Premier Khrushchev indicate that he, himself, would like to vist Washing ton, it might be well to en courage him. I think Khrush chev needs first-hand expos ure to the United States and a good look at it to balance off his over-assessment of what his missiles and indus trial might can do' to frighten us. Couldn't Risk Trip I tried to persuade Stalin to visit the United States on several occasions, but I was led to understand that he could not risk the trip because of the situation at home. But after my own trip to Potsdam and the previous trips of Roosevelt to meet Stalin, I felt that there was no longer any sense for an American president to meet the Russian dictators at their convenience and thought it was high time they came to me'et with us here. We traveled great distances to show that even as a lead ing power we did not insist upon anyone coming to see us on our own grounds. Dic tators have a way of sum moning spokesmen of other nations either to bully or be guile them into surrender or false security. Moscow, as the capital of the Communist world, has staged meetings of satellites, neighbors and so-called neu trals intended to propagandize the notion that all roads lead to Moscow. Seat in Kremlin From time to time some members of the Kremlin have travelled to Peiping to plac ate the Red Chinese dictators, in recognition of that coun try's rapidly developing pow er and its position as a pos sible rival. But the seat of the Communist and satellite world continues to be physic ally in Moscow and in the Kremlin. , I often wondered why Neh ru, whom I regard as one of the most intelligent of our modern world leaders, failed to sense the folly of his neu tralism in the face of such overwhelming evidence of Communit intentions to dom inate the free world. I could understand the plight of India geographically and economically, and. when President, I did everything I could to extend assistance to India. But when the free world was confronted with brutal attacks by the Com munists in several critical areas, I found little under standing and no support and even open criticism from Nehru in our actions to de- sion. I Quotes From the News By UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL New York-Harry Truman, lecturing at Columbia uni versity: "I was raised a politician-from the precinct to president, and I'm proud to be a politician." Houston, Tex.-Tidel Castro, complaining about the police and the press:, "My mind needs rest. I am not criticizing. I want lo be here as a visitor, not as some strange man. Too many police men, microphones, cameras. I am almost blind." Montgomery, Ala-Convict Earl Phillips, recaptured after a prison break: "I tried lo get free because I have been deprived of every thing that a human wants. I thought I would get out and get some of it. Everybody else is getting it." Cambridge, Mass-Philip Smythe, bank manager, foiling an attempted holdup by telling the robber: "You're not kidding me. Now go away and don't bother me." Though sorely tried, we never lost patience with India even when our pleas for co operation were steadily reject ed. This situation was exploit ed by the Russians with seri ous damage to the free world. Time To Add Weight Today Nehru is confronted, right on his own doorstep, with the most blatant act of Communist imperialism, Red China's attack in Tibet. I know the dilemma and the dangers that face Nehru, but I suggest that the time has come for him to add his weight and influence against the international Communist aggressors. The Communists have shown that they have utter contempt for the weak and the neutrals, and no lasting peace is possible if we forget this. International communism is forever probing for weak spots. It is constantly seeking to drive a wedge between the free nations. It is now trying to split the Allies on several issues, and we must not per mit this to happen. . Voices Raised I regret that recently in Britain voices were raised in petulant criticism of Amer ican policy which might befc- ter have been conveyed through officials channels and which served no purpose ex cept to provide the Kremlin with propaganda material. As Allies, we must keep each other fully informed and never give tne false impres sion that we are drifting apart. If we should, in, fact, permit anything, however pro voking, to separate any of the Allies, it would expose us all to great harm. And here at home I would counsel that we act as a unit ed people in the serious days ahead of us. Summer Reminder Twin panels of color in the new, slim shape!

Casfro To Gel Horse in Texas Houston, Tex. - (UPD - Fidel Castro set out today for a Texas ranch to get a gift horse. He hoped to take the young colt with him on an air plane. The Cuban Prime Minister denied Monday night any knowledge of Cubans partici pating in the rebel invasion of Panama. "Our relations with Panama are good," he said. Castro had planned only a refueling stop in Houston Monday on a flight from Mon treal, Canada, to Buneos Aires for a conference with his brother, Raul, commander of the Cuban army. Also, he wanted to get the horse. J. B. Ferguson, an oilman and race horse owner, invited Castro to his ranch at Whar ton, about 65 miles from Houston, to get the colt.
