Fiddler Crabs to the)
Rescue-But How Could It Bt?
Like a well-trained and or
ganized army the. thousands of
fiddler crabs moved across the
mudflat in ordered ranks. No
particular one seemed to be
the leader; none appeared to
issue orders, yet they all mov
ed as if they were all attached
to the same string.
It was an army without an
officer-a horde of living crea
tures moving as one toward
an invisible destination away
from the water's edge, each
crab hurrying to get back into
what to them must have seem
ed like a forest, the weed
patch that thickly covered the
land at the extremity of tidal
inundation.
In the grass forest they
search for food, each moving
independently of its neighbor,
but each certainly tuned to the
silent signal that might send
them scurrying for the water s
edge if danger threatened.

Chairman of NBC
Hopes TV Debates
Part of Format
New York -flIPD- Robert W.
Sarnoff, chairman of the
board of the National Broad
casting Co., says he would like
to see television debates be
tween presidential candidates
become an American institu
tion.
Referring to the debates be
tween vice-president Richard
M. Nixon and President-elect
John F. Kenedy prior to the
election, Sarnoff said, "The
programs have won almost
universial recognition as
major innovation in the DemJ
ocratic process."
Tremendous Impact
'By any criterion, they
achieved tremendous impact,
Sarnoff said in a monthly let
ter to television and radio edi
tors. "The interest they stimu
lated in the campaign was, in
my opinion, a key factor in
the heaviest registration and
the largest voter turnout in
the nation's history."
The debates, Sarnoff admit
ted, "also attracted a small
swarm of qualms and quib
bles."
But, he said, "as so fre
quently happens in television,
much of this criticism was in
consistent and even contra
dictory."
"The criticism - which was
greatly outbalanced by the
praise - was directed mostly
at the format." said Sarnoff,
but ". . . the format was the
only one the candidates them
selves would accept.
Left To Newsmen
"It has been objected that
the broadcasts left it mainly
to newsmen rather than to the
candidates themselves to de
termine the issues (or discus
sion." Sarnoff noted.
However, he said, A study
of the debates will show they
covered every issue that the
candidates raised in their own
barnstorming all . over the
country; the only exception
was the religious issue, on
which both men had. made
their positions clear repeated
ly before the debate began.
"The American people
should, and, I believe, will de
mand that 'The great debate
become a permanent institu
tion, Sarnoff said.
Telegram Quoted
Sarnoff backed this conten
tion by quoting from a tele
gram he received trom Ken
nedy last July 28 in which
Kennedy said, "I believe you
are performing a notable pub
lie service in giving the Amer
ican people a chance to see
the candidates of the two ma
jor parties discuss the issues
face to face.
The telegram was sent
Sarnoff when Kennedy agreed
to debate with Nixon.
weed forest that misfortune
befell a purple-marked male
fiddler. He blundered into a
clump of tough grass and be
came so entangled he could
scarcely move a leg. Complete
exhaustion ovecame him; he
lumped limply in the entan
glement. Then, the true but
unprovable happened - three
fiddler crabs came to the aid
of the troubled one.
The rescue squad pulled and
tugged; strand after strand of
the weed was yanked. Obvi
ously, they couldn't figure out
which grass blade was the kay
that held the knot together, so
they pulled on each one sepa
rately, one after another.
Finally, one hard pull on
the short end of a grass blade
e 1 e a s e d the knot. The
shackled one was freed; he
was tired and exhausted; for
several minutes he never mov
ed. Then without a "thank
you" or an acknowledgement
he scampered away on his
wobbly legs.
Seems Useless
In the higher order of ani
mals many species are con
scious of another's plight
many instances are on record
where an animal has helped
another in distress, but it
hardly seems possible that a
fiddler crab would come to
another's assistance.
It would seem sucn a use
less gesture for so many catas
trophes befall these tiny crea
tures in the course of every
day. It hardly seems reason
able that the saving of a single
fiddler crab would further
Nature's plan.
Could it be that tncre are
individual crabs, like people,
who stand out above all their
fellows, those who have an in
born compulsion to help an
other in distress? Compassion
certainly isn t a virtue in the
ranks of the fiddler crabs, yet
even here there might be one
among the hundreds of thou
sands that would be a shade
more solicitous than any of Its
fellows.
Too bad that so many true
facts cannot be proved.

National Goals
Group Stresses
Need for Energy
Washington -UIPU- President
Eisenhower's Commission on
National Goals wants every
state in the union to make
progress "in good faith" by
1970 toward ending racial seg
regation in public schools.
In its long-awaited report lo
the President, the commission
denounced discrimination on
the basis of race, religion and
sex as "morally wrong, eco
nomically wasteful and in
many respects dangerous."
"In this decade we must
sharply lower these last stub
born barriers," said the ad-
page document.
The commission urged an
Americans to devote more of
their time and energy "direct
ly to the solution" of this and
other national problems.
Three commission members
went further in the civil rights
field by calling for an end to
all discrimination in educa
tion, employment, housing
and public services by 1970.
They were Clark Kerr, presi
dent of the University of Cali
fornia: James R. Killian Jr.,
formerly Eisenhower's science
adviser, and George Meany,
president of the AFL-CIO.
Defend Right to Vote
The commission declared
that "the right to vote is
basic" and should not be
thwarted by traditional slate
control of voting qualifications."
The report was deliberately
withheld until after the Nov.
8 presidential election to avoid
any embroilment In partisan
politics. 1
. The bipartisan commission
of 11 distinguished Americans
was appointed by Eisenhower
last February to chart broad
goals for the United States in
the next decade and beyond.
The chairman, Henry M.
Wriston, president of Brown
University from 1937 to 1055,
and the Commission members
served without pay. Staff and
administrative expenses total
ing $405,000 were financed by
grants from seven private
foundations.
The commission pointed up
the urgency of several prob
lems - civil rights, science and
technology, education, farm
ing, health and housing, the
general economy and main
taining world peace.
Emphasis on Individual
But it put primary emphasis
on the indivdual - his "infi
nite" worth to the country
and his responsibility to work
on its behalf.
Other major recommenda
tions: Education must be
strengthened "at every level
and in every discipline." Com
bined spending by govern
ment and private groups for
education should be doubled
to $40 billion by 1970.
"Knowledge and innova
tion must be advanced on
every front." But extravagant
space programs should not be
undertaken merely to satisfy
"nationalistic competition."
"We must remedy slum
conditions, reverse the pro
cess of decay in the larger
cities and relieve the necessity
for low-income and minority
groups to concentrate there,"
Free Market Conditions
There must be a gradual
return to free market condi
tions in agriculture "with a
fair return to farmers."
Spending at all levels of
government is certain to rise.
Tax rates probably "will con
tinue at something like their
present level through tho
decade and may even have to
be increased." There should
be a broad reform of the fed
eral lax system and "many
slate governments must find
new tax sources."

tion will hold its monthly

performance by a bullfighter

Lozano took exception,
along with many other per

cheap tricks" to fool an ig

In the series, Hemingway
wrote that the greatest bull
