diate, in fact it takes time for
the right balance to ba at
tained, maybe weeks, months,
or even years. In the instance
of the skunks and the durk
eggs, it takes a considerable
length of time; a period ex
tending over several seasons.
It was a private preserve,
fenced and patrolled. The
owner believed he could main
tain, in the entire area, a per
fect balance. There seemed
there was adequate cover for
a wide assortment of animals;
sufficient food, and varied en
vironments. A small lake,
partly surrounded by a
marshy area, occupied the al
most exact center of the tract.
There was a wooded area, sev
eral meadows, a couple of
small hills and a considerable
acreage of pasture land.
AH Responded
In the cleared areas crops
were planted, but never har
vested. All grains were allow
ed to stand; no grass or weeds
were cut. There was cover
and food, and no human pre
dators were ever allowed in
the area.
All the birds and animals
native to the region respond'
ed gloriously, multiplied, and
populated the area, to the al
most complete satisfaction of
the owner who wished to
prove that, even in our highly
industrialized age, game of
all kinds could be plentiful
under the proper conditions
and in perfect environment.
.Things were going nicely
until the day the owner listen
ed to the man who didn't
know what he was talking
about. "Too many skunks"
warned the man, "the little
black and white animals will
eat the eggs as fast as your
mallard ducks can lay them.
Too, the skunks will consume
all the other eggs they can
find. Any game bird that lays
her eggs on the ground will
suffer from the skunks' pref
erence for fresh eggs."
Sometimes even the poor
est advice sounds the best,
and the eradication of the
skunks began. By every
means conceivable the man
commenced the elimination of
what he was told was the
worst predator in the area.
But something was wrong
as the population of wildfowl
didn't increase, in fact, over
a period of a few seasons it
declined until there was an
actual shortage of ducks. At
first, the skunk eradication
program was intensified until
there was not a skunk alive
in the preserve. But very few
baby ducks reached adulthood.
Somewhere the balance had
become erratic, and almost
non existent.
i Too Many Turtles
T-l 1 II.. 1
men, as uurcijuemiy Hap
pens, came the man with
understanding and knowl
edge. In a very short time he
found the answer. The lake
was teeming with an over
abundance of snapping turtles,
they had grown (at, and ex
ccedingly numerous, on young
ducklings. In fact, there were
so many turtles, a swimming
baby duck had a poor chance
of traveling a hundred feet
from its birthplace.
The reason for so many
snapping turtles was the short
age of skunks. Skunks prefer
turtle eggs, will ignore all
other eggs when turtle eggs
are available. Remove the
skunks and the snapping tur
tles enjoy a population ex
plosion, and baby ducks are
i easy prey. The balance main
; tained by nature is a little
too complex for most of us to
: understand. And besides, the
' finger of suspicion often
points in the wrong direction.
By DELOS SMITH
UPI Science Editor
New York - IUPD - A distin
guished medical specialist
found faults in people today
because there are a number
of practical ways of prevent
ing the birth of defective hu
man beings, but none of them
it being widely used. Either
laws or customs block their
application.
The most direct way is to
prevent defectives from being
conceived, said Dr. Allan C.
Barnes. But by custom ro
mance must have a marital
culmination. Couples who are
demonstrably incompatable
genetically and couples relat
ed by blood get married never
theless. Once a genetically incom
patable could become parents
of a defective child, birth con
trol would seem to be in order
but most often it isn't, he ad
ded. 'He was incensed because
contraception was conspic
uously omitted from the re
cent report of the President's
panel on mental retardation."
Sterilisation Prevented
utner practical ways are
sterilization and abortion.
But laws prevent sterilization
of mental defectives. By law
a person must give consent to
being sterilized and mental
defectives are held to be in
competent to give such con
sent. "The very people who gen
etically deserve it most are
the ones least able to achieve
surgical sterilization," Barnes
continued.
As for abortion, the laws
are such that even when it can

he is liable to a charge of
manslaughter.
Until the laws of this
country genuinely recognize
the right to be well born, we
shall continue to waste repro
ductive time for the mother
and condemn the damaged
child to hopeless institutional
care," Dr. Barnes said.
He is professor and chair
man of the department of
gynecology and obstetrics at
the Johns Hopkins university,
gynecologist obstetrician - in
chief at the Johns Hopkins
hospital, Baltimore and editor
of the American Journal
of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Wouldn't Cancel Plans
Barnes was addressing an
international conference on
congenital malformations
sponsored by the National
Foundation. He relied on his
own experiences which go
back over several decades.
Hundreds of engaged couples
have had him test their blood
for compatibility. He asked all
of them if a negative test re
sult would cancel their mar
riage plans, without excep
tion the answers were "a hor
rified no."
"The information was de
sired so that it could be a
basis for worry, not a basis
for action," he said.
Only once has he been con
sulted by a pair of romancers
related by blood. They had
met at a family picnic which

place to carry out medical
genetic studies but a poor
place to pick a spouse." Be

Foreign Students
Storm Kennedy on
White House Lawn
Washington (UP1( A crowd
of 2,560 foreign students ran
wild on the White House lawn
Thursday in an over-enthusiastic
rush to get close to
President Kennedy.
One girl grabbed the
handkerchief from the Presi
dent's breast pocket and a
boy snatched his tie clasp in
the melee.
"That's two from our bus
that got something," the girl
proudly announced as others
in the crowd surged forward
toward the President on his
way back to his office from
where he greeted them. Ken
nedy, looking a little wilted
but still smiling, got to his
office without physical mis
hap, but one police lieutenant
suffered hypertension as a re
sult of the mob scene in the
stifling summer heat.
Agent Loil Shoe
Several other officers had
neckties torn from them and
a Secret Service agent even
lost a shoe for a time in their
efforts to protect the Presi
dent -as well as the prized
boxwood hedge, the flowers
and the blue grass lawn of the
garden which adjoined the
area.
White House policemen,
their white shirts soaked
with perspiration, had to line
up on the porch outside Ken
nedy's office to prevent stu
dents from pushing through to
that forbidden area.
Kennedy had greeted the
teen-agers jokingly as "not
the quietest group that has
come to visit us."
But he moved them all to
silence in a stirring speech
during which he urged them,
when they returned home, to
work for peace, friendship
and "a fair chance for all."
He said if they, as future
testing, the couple publicly
announced their engagement.
