Snow, an Englishman whose career has been an -unlikely combination of scientist and novelist, is concerned over the cul tural division between the intellectual community of science, and the intellectual community of literature. ' ; " ' This division has been mentioned in these columns before, in a discussion of the difficulty of communication between scientists and non scientists. As one of very few men who are equally at home in each of the two communities, Sir Charles' comments deserve respect. He has set them forth in a book entitled "The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution." . H IS book is reviewed magazine, Scientific The same issue of the magazine, which itself is devoted to making science understandable both to laymen and :, to scientists of differing disci plines, gives ample proof that the world of sci ence is becoming more and more isolated and cut off from the mainstream of intellectual ac tivity among non-scientists. In the advertisements this is particularly no table. "IN PAGE 7, for instance, an ad discusses "fusion-alloy silicon transistors for large sig nal, small signal and low-noise applications. Ad vantages include low saturation voltage; 20 volt BVEBO ; minimum change in characteristics with temperature, current and voltage . . "diffused junction silicon rectifiers in both wire-in and stud types, welded, hermetically sealed. Noted for their high forward conductance, exceptional re verse recovery . . .": and "curcuit-paks of tran sistors, diodes, rectifiers offer better .utilization of and extreme reliability. sulated, complete subassemblies, such as phase comparators, bridges, choppers and flip-flops are available from stock or to your specifications." How many people know what this is all about? Not very many. On Page 10, a magnetic tape manufacturer tells how its product provides "a clear, unclouded memory supplying data for calculation at the unimaginable speed of over 500,000 signal bits or 90,000 characters a second." fXN PAGE 18,' a "two-channel, servo-operated, recorder'' is advertised. It declares, "Plug-in input chassis are interchangeable to provide various recording characteristics. Chart motors are easily changed for additional speeds. Range is adjustable from 0-9 mv to 0-100 mv on the basic input chassis. Zero can be set anywhere across the chart. And being a poteniometer recorder, the G-22 has to serve a wide variety This machine, which potentiometer measuring times more sensitive than On Pages 20 and 21, a company declares, "Today in a new field, . . . scientists and engineers are creating systems which collect, compress, code, index and store graphic or textual information for automated re- tneval and display in an instant . . . fXN PAGE 39, we learn that a certain brand of manometer "and associated data acquisition systems, incorporating semiconductors," pro vide information on how blood pressure reacts to various levels of anaesthesia. On Page 42, we read about a "new idea", in the reactor fuel business, a precision glass mold to hold reactor fuel elements. The tube is 17 inches long, and is "precision shrunk . . . to bore diameter of 0.1475 plus or minus 0.0005 in."..-. . Regularly hold bore to plus or minus 0.0001 in., can go to plus or minus 0.00005 in. Also control o.d., taper, concentricity, length . . ." And on Page 47, under a picture, we read, "When a slow degradation rate, or ablation rate can be established in a plastic at temperatures of 5,000 degrees farenheit or above, the plastic then has potential use in missile applications. Here, a man simulates some" of the erosion conditions existing in the venturi of a solid propellaht rocket. This calculated sacrifice of a limited mass; in exchange for heat energy, will serve to insulate, critical missile parts from destructive heat." HTHERE are others. n ' ' - . But perhaps these examples are sufficient to prove the point that even in cases such as these where science is being applied in tech nologies, tiie vocabulary and the concepts are way over the head of the average person.' How much more this is so in the realm of theoretical science, and research on the very limits of man's ; knowledge where mathematics and philosophy overlap, and where vocabularies are so esoteric that perhaps only a half-dozen men in the world can understand the concepts.' Too bad? Yes. But lacking some system to permit the human mind to absorb learning pain lessly and continuously, this gap between science and its specialties, and the everyday, world, will continue to grow. E.A.

I Dennis the Menace ' J I COULD fWA PENNWOW AN Today & Tomorrow By Walter IN THE LION'S DEN To expose himself to a press conference at this moment, as Secretary Herter did on Tues day, was the rough equiva lent, of walk ing; into the lion's den. Mr.. K. has c o m e ; a n d I gone.- Mr. K. a I has : been to Peking. The great issues of life and death Walter Lippmann have been talked about, and the main agreement reached has .been that there shall be more talk and more negotia tion, talk without time limits and without precision, with out threats but without prom ises. This basic agreement re quires; the use in public of vague formulae, in which no body' has to dot his i's and cross his t's. ' . Diplomacy of this kind was invented before the modern press conference, and it takes very adroit evasive action to protect such diplomacy in a modern press conference. Mr. Herter, having ; gone down among the lions, has returned with no, bad injury and with only one, so it seems to me, scratch, --i- ' ". t f. ; HE allowed himself to be drawn into a line of ques tions about Mr. K's visit to Peking, about the relations of Russia and China, and about our views of where Russia stands in relation to China. These are among the most in teresting questions in . the world for table talk and for irresponsible newspaper writ ing and for private official consideration. But the one man who cannot speculate about them in public is the Secretary of State. For- there is nothing he can say which does not do more harm than good. As we have no relations with Peking and no influence in Peking, it is not seemly for us to issue official public commentaries about Soviet re lations with Peking. These commentaries cannot possibly soften the Chinese position, They cannot fail to embarrass the Russians. Surely the right official policy is silence, and the utmost reserve and dis cretion. APART from this Chinese ' scratch, . Mr. . Herter did extremely weU, most parti cularly with the question of Berlin. The crucial problem of Berlin, which was not solved at Geneva,' is how to find a basis of negotiation which insures the security of the community of West Ber lin. Except,- it would seem, for Mr. Acheson, there is a general ; recognition that the situation is abnormal. It is ab normal for half of a city to have a different social order from the other half,' and it is abnormal or a city to be situ ated 110 miles inside the ter ritory of a state with which it does not have official di plomatic relations. This abnormal situation has to be mantained in substance until the two Berlins are re united ar.4 become the capital of a reunited Germany'. But to maintain this abnormality for a long period of j time, per haps for a generation, we cannot stand pat upon the old texts of the occupation period. These texts did not foresee anything like the present situ ation enduring for a whole generation. We must move forward to the formation of a new inter national statute which de fines the rights of West Ber lin and of the two Germanys and of the four occupying powers. - -.' THE negotiation of such an international statute is the goal. It is still on the distant horizon. But it i visible. It A niNPBNtilESA ViSSKT Lippmann is the goal to which we must hope that our talks with Mr. K. will lead. We do not know that they will lead there. But they might. And it would be a mistake not to try. In this negotation the Western powers must be free to be firm on the substance on the security of West Ber lin as a community but flex ible on the formulae of the guarantee and the arrange ments. A new international statute will, for example, have to be ratified by the East German state. This is un avoidable. But offically at least it" is anathema in Bonn, With the crucial German election of 1961 ahead of him, it will not be easy for Dr. Adenauer to be flexible at aU. But it will not be impos- silbe for him. to follow along if it is manifest there is firm and friendly leadership , in Washington which knows the score in Germany and : in Central Europe. . ' . . A good friend, as we are to the Germans, does not always say: Me too.

Porter declared in a speech, "It is easier to defeat an incumbent that it is to fill his shoes. This belated confession was of course no news to his con stituents, because his prede cessor. Mr. iJuswortn, was outstanding in ability and in fluence. Using the confession as a point of departure, Mr. Por ter intensified his preoccupa tion with Latin America. Find ing a kindred soul in Fidel Castro, Porter, and the - er ratic Adam Clayton Powell, were the only legislators to swallow the bait of an invita tion to visit Havana and par ticipate in Castro's victory celebration. How ' any one could be sufficiently naive as to go overboard about a new Latin American strongman is difficult to comprehend, bear ing in mind the usual formu la: (l) liberator (2) dictator (3) plunderer (4) fugitive. The bewildered idealistic Castro is now in the second phase, al ternately asking for billions in loans and saying the same things the Communists say. And Mr. Porter still says that he thinks Castro is a great man, : but . that he has made some mistakes. In a Medford speech, Por ter is reported to have said, concerning delay in the Rogue Basin, project, "I ' can bring pressure to bear. s This is ridiculous. Before a Congressman can apply "pres sure" on any government de nnrtment on bureau, he must be on a powerful Congres sional committee, or have demonstrated on the floor of Hnnffress that his word and influence have sufficient weight to initiate and pass measures which he sponsors. During the debate preced ing the passage of the foreign aid bill Congressman Porter offered four amendments All four were promptly slapped down by the overwhelmingly Democratic Congress. Preceding his much publi cized horseback ride down the Illinois river to the ocean, Mr. Porter said that he was zninz to make the trio every year until the road ii built.

Stewart 933 NE 12th st. Grants Pass, Ore. Marine Band Coming To the Editor: A very fine community project is under way in Medford which, in my opinion, rates the hearty sup port of alLof us. I refer to the sponsorship of vthe World famous U. S. Marine Band of Washington, D. C, by our own Medford High Band. Mr. Mirick, as director of instrumental . music in the Medford school system, re ceives many offers to present outstanding musical programs in the community, and until this year, has turned them aU down. This year, however, he and his band felt they owed the hometown audience an opportunity to see and hear one of these - a world re nowned organization. So our High School Band is sponsor ing the U.S." Marine Band in two concerts on Friday, Oct 16 at Hedrick Junior High school auditorium. A student matinee will be presented at 2:30 pjri. and full evening concert at 8 D.m. It is interesting to note that the U, S. Marine Band is au thorized, by an Act of Con gress to go on concert tour nine weeks out of each year, but at no expense to the tax payer. Band expenses are re alized out of the proceeds ol concerts in each communixy. The Band travels in buses. Our Medford High School Band, such an outstanding remesentative of southern Or egon at the East-West Shrine game in San Francisco eacn year, concluded that by pre senting the great ' Marine Band, they could help defray their own expenses for tneir ninth .annual appearance r in San Francisco, Jan. 2, 1960. At this noint. ticket sales to the evening concert are dis aDDointing.' and our young MeBford Bandsmen, who ; do such an excellent community iob during the year, are ap prehensive of the success of their venture. Being an ardent booster of our High School Band, I hope "that a letter printed in your communica tion department would help our voung musicians and show them that the community; is really behind them. We trust the readers of your column will rally to the cause and buy out the 2,500 capacity hoUse on " Friday night. Oct. 16. The Medford High Band can promise them a never-to-be-iorgotten musi cal experience. Tickets, tax free, are available at Barker's, Swem s, Emerald Music Co., Puruckers and at the Medford High school. - Jennings Pierce, A friend of the Band, 34 North Central ave., Medford. . JlsssCijiMHk By Joseph Alsop protests from the Administra tion, the Congress provided sixty additional Atlases in 1962, and the same in 1963. The Congress also insisted on stepping up the time schedule for the solid-fuelled Minute Man ICBM, in order to get the first of these missiles in 1963. . There is a simple reason why the original ' Administra tion program is given above, instead of the somewhat better program voted v by Congress. Funds to finance the added ICBM production will have to be provided in the election year budget. The signs sug gest that- the Administration will follow its usual budget first rule, over - riding Con gress and cutting back missile output to its . original pro gram. Even if Congresses riot over ridden, moreover, the Soviet superiority - in . long range missile power will still be very great for a long period. The critical period will extend from 1961 until-about 1966, when we shall begin to have a serious, striking force of the Minute Man missile. . rpo THESE grim facts, there -- is more to add. In brief, besides the old missile testing base at Kapustin Yar in the bend of the Volga,: the Soviets have now established a new base to the north of the Aral Sea. From the new base this summer, two full range ICBM shots were-f ired to impact in the; Pacific. This is 'a depar ture from the Soviet practice of testing their ICBMs with such heavy instrumentation aboard that they impact after a flight of only 3,500 miles. The shots this summer knock ed out the complacent argu ment of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs , of Staff, Gen. Nathan Twining, that the Soviets probably did not have ICBMs capable of going the fun intercontinental range, i In these circumstances, powerful influences in the Pentagon are actually launch ing a campaign to write down the intelligence estimates once again. The pretext is the rela tive smallness of the Soviet ICBM testing program - only about 30 Soviet ICBMs have been fired in all. The real aim, of course, is to cut ICBM ap propriations; in order, to make room for' Army ; and 'Navy spending of other types. For tunately the "CIA: Director, Allan W. Dulles,, seems likely to resist this new exercise of self-delusion. - ii - ,i& seu-aeiuaing, in any - case, , to use. the national intelligence estimates as we are now using them.

The cancer institute is to be built at the American Medical Center in Denver. : - Eleanor Roosevelt, who plans to spend Sunday quietly at her Hyde Park "cottage," will be thinking and planning ahead if she stays within the stereotype the public ; has formed of her, but she could be forgiven for taking as well a retrospective glance or two. It's been a long, busy passage in ideas and associations as well as in years, for'she en tered life asr an Oyster Bay Roosevelt, a child of New York Society. In one of her autobiographical accounts she has described that life: "You were kind to the poor . You accepted invitations to dine, and to dance, with the right people only. You lived where you would be in their midst. You thought seriously about your, children's educa tion, you read the books that everybody read, you were familiar with good literature.

It is also necessary to remember the ex traordinary, arrogance Nikita S. Khrushchev has. so often shown in the last 18 months. If this is how Khrushchev behaves now, how will he be have when the U.S.-U.S.S.R, long range missile ratio is ten to one in favor of the Krem lin?

Even her mar riage in 1905 was in a sense unconventional, for Franklin was her cousin from the Hyde Park branch of the family. She. was not a born, but a self-made politician - she was shy as a young woman and as a matron but she was active in New York Democratic circles by the early 1920's and an advisor to the National Committee - by 1928. Today she's a member of the Demo cratic Advisory Council, an influential adjunct of the party, for all its egghead as pects. As First - Lady, Eleanor itooseveii was .into every thing. She held office only briefly - as assistant director, Office of Civilian Defense, 1941-42 - but her influence on F.D.R. and within the admin istration was profound. And she was so. peripatetic that she became a world figure in her own right. . President Truman in , De cember 1945 appointed Mrs. Roosevelt to the U.S. delega tion to the United Nations, and for the next six years she was a devoted diplomat, notably as chairman of the U.N. Com mission on Human Rights. Re signing with the election of President Eisenhower in 1952. she's since then become if any thing an even more energetic traveler, shuttling about from India to the Soviet Union and points between both as journ alist and representative of the American Association for the United Nations. She continues her newspa per and magazine writing. In the past three decades she's saved out time enough to write or edit more than a doz en books, from "A Trip to Washington with Bobby and Betty" to "India, the Awaken ing East." : And at 75, she seems to be cramming more than ever in to the jam-packed hours of her famous Day. - (Editorial Research Report.) , O long sound. thing for the writer.

One staffer wrote I noti to himself which consisted of one wordt "Dogs." He left it ly ing on his desk overnight, and in the morning found that some thoughtful soul had added one word to the note: "Arf." Another staffer wrote -himself a note the same week, which said 'Take a bath." '-'It was to remind him of a story he planned to write-and never you mind what kind of story.)
