Communist Leaders Hide Power Struggle RAIL BIRD 6 : "The greatest resource we have, and the one we sometimes lake the least pride in developing, is the human mind." j Astronaut John Glenn uttered the words : in the course of a talk to the nation's news- paper publishers. f. He also said we have to exhibit the same ? respect and admiration for academic cxcel--Mence that we now show for achievements in . sports, In business, in entertainment and other fields. The same note recently was struck even more solemnly by Dr. Krnst Mayr, director : of Harvard's Museum of Comparative Zoology. Kile suggests we stop belittling superior per sons and start rewarding them. 5 v In a comprehensive report on the newest ; developments in evolutionary theory, Mayr ! dares to hint that the human race may have ; reached its zenith in intelligence and may ' need to husband all the mental resources it has. The early humans who could think best : were the ones who survived and passed ; intelligence to their children. After men I banded together in groups, more general stir Jvival became easier. Today physical survival 'is assured for virtually all, regardless of in ; telligence level. ; ' This means, says Mayr, that superior per- sons are proportionately a vastly smaller part of the total population than once was true. i; Money is what it will be all about when : the United Nations General Assembly meets In special session in May.

When the Stale IVpartmcnt made up its program for Hip spring briefing of out-of-town writ ers and broadcasters on foreign affairs, it lislvd at the end of the lirst day a "eolfee reception" in tlie luxurious Thomas .lelferson suite on the top floor. Presiding over the opening ses sion. Robert .1. Manning, who is assistant secretary (or public af fairs, haslened to announce that "we are going to try to make it a little more invigorating."

"And I can t say as I blame him," says Russell. "I,et j put it this way. How would you like to have tn live in Albany. N v.? Al bany is a place where tlie late, late show goes on at a K) pm" In consequence, it becomes increasingly diffi cult for them to assert their gifts for leader ship, for creativity, for organization all of which modern society badly needs. As average or below average individuals rise in total numbers with the huge population boom, the difficulty is magnified. Less and less are the processes of society designed to serve and advance the mightily useful gifted per son. . Mayr suggests that overpopulation could have dire effect in this regard long before the earth reaches "standing room only." "Men," he says, "would become involved in such a hopeless struggle with social, eco nomic and engineering problems and the harmful by-products of crowded cities that little opportunity would be left for cultivation of man's highest and most specifically human attributes." Here we come back to John Glenn's and Dr. Mayr's prescription for a way out: elevate superiority to the eminence it deserves. Haven't we had enough of sneering at Harvard, of deriding intelligent folk as "square," if not downright subversive? No mailer what some politicians argue, the Common Denominator is not the Great American If we insist on demeaning superiori ty and on putting our faith in the mentally commonplace, we may one day find ourselves adrift on an ocean of ordinariness which has no end.

There'll Be New Problems (By Rt'SSKIX BAKKR) (In The New York Times) WASHINGTON, April 17-Dcar Mr. President. The expansion nf your family anticipated during August is pood news, but as every father of three will tell you, the move up from two lo three children is going to create some problems you prnbahly haven't thought of. First you might as well fare it right off you will be destroy ing the family balance nf power. Two children, particularly when they are girl and boy. make for such symmetrical family groun inss that the two-child family scarcely knows what confusion and chaos are. With three children, however, ynu take on diplomatic problems that will linyer long after you i leave the White House. It is the nature of three children to divide into an alliance of two for the mutual maltreatment of the third. The out manned third w ill nat urally come looking for an al liance with you, and then ynu are in for it. From Ihe oppressed, there ill b long harrow ing grievance lists delivered with heartbreaking sobs. From thp oth er two, outraged protests of ex treme provocation, artfully de signed to keep ynu neutralist and uncommitted. .Some people just cannot take it. These wind up hy expanding tlie family to four on the shaky the ory that two nicely balanced al liances of tun children each will produce stability, peace and quirt around the house. What usually happens, however, is that ail four begin coalescing against the outnumbered parents. With three children, about the only thing a father can do is plan in advance to avoid fore seeable friction points.

This will pre vent thousands of quarrels about which of tlie three are to get the two seats by the window every Lime you decide to drive to grandmother's for the weekend. The television problem is just about insoluble. If one announces that she wants to watch "The Three Stooges." the other two will demand to see "Popeye" which, by one of those miracles of programing so common in the television industry, are on at the same hour. It sometimes helps to keep cal endar records showing that this week tliey watched "Popeye" and the next week they will watch "The Three Stooges.' It gets to he a nuisance keeping the calen- , dats. but it's belter than yield ing to the demands of the ruling alliance that you settle the issue by popular vote. I Ynu will also have new problems about baths. With two children, as you have probably noticed, both go together upstair where it's dark and far away, and each waits in comforting proximity to the bathtub while the other bathes. All that w ill change with three. With three, two will go up to gether to keep each other's cour age up, then mn downstairs leav ing the isolated alone when his turn comes to enter the tub. His tears will be answered with taunts of "Chicken" from the other two. and this usually leads tn prolonged uproar all through the house. 1 For a father confronted with this situation there are Draconian alternatives, but the only sen sible thing is for him tn get a bonk or slate paper and go up to the bathroom and make himself com- Aniwur to Prtviout Pul irirlt.n 9 Kind nf ri"K lOGrrat Ukt 11 Scotli.h lnr Irtfl IS Brail :) PnrLli Biblical wedl 34 Fminin appellation Ranc part 7 rellan ?s (or ralmnal 31 Carlir ?3 Turret 35 Fdil 40 Rani 41 StnpH animal 4S Frpnrh itreani 4S First man 47 Rndpntl 4 Cavern 50 Damif 1 51 C.raftwl rhn 52 Former Russian ruler ss Srt M attn Spill MiW"' ' fnrtable while his isolalrd child takes a bath. Even without its incessant dip lomatic tensions, Ihe three-child family is inherenlly awkward. You'll find, for example. thafU runs up your travel bills unless ynu are careful. The trick is lo ask for a sinjlp hotel nr motel room with two double beds, then have the management roll in a cot. Ine.ierienced three - child fa thers usually start nut by bonk ing adjoininc rooms, thinking the kids will appreciate a room of their own. What happens, of course, is that two gang up aRainst the third. The parents then asree In bring the aggrieved into their room. This acgrieves the nlher two. who are threatened with neu-rosis-in-laler-life because mommy and daddy are giving preferential treatment to little Busier. Everv hndy winds up in one room sometimes wilh the father foiening sleep on the floor unlil all tlie children are a-slumhcr and he can escape tn the vacant room adjoining. Yon will probably find that fathers with three children age faster than those with only two, but that they also learn humility quicker. 1 hey sonn lose the young man's instinct lo do something impetuous when erisis arises. In fact, presiding nver a three-child family should be Rood experience in the uses of patience and. so. make any man a heller President. Other Editors Say . .

By PETER EDSON Washington Cr.irci-ondent Newspaper Enterprise Assn. WASHINGTON INEAl - Pen pie with the greatest inlercst and the greatest responsibility for dealing with tr.e world-wide Com munist threat point out that the Hood of rumors and speculation about developments behind the Iron Curtain sprinR from every source except those inside the Kremlin, where the facts are known. This puts the proper note of caution irto trying to be too much of an expert on Chairman Ni kita Khrushchev's personal plans, the Moscow-Peking split or other Communist crises. Khrushchev himself is quoted as having said that he can't ro on forever and eventually will step down. But US. Undersecretary of State Averell Harriman, the last outsider to see and talk with Khrushchev, comes back with the word that he was quoted out of context, that he is hale and hearty and that he has not thought of giving up his position. Peking calls for the resigna tion of Khrushchev for having gone soft on the old Stalin brand of communism and for having withdrawn his missiles from Cuba. But there has never been any sign of Russian w illingness to roll over and play dead just to please the Red Chinese. Furthermore. Khru shchev eouldn t quit under such pressure. This emphasizes the likelihood that the Russians may work out their problems in their own se cretive ways, just as they have done time alter lime in the past. They will then announce to their own people and the rest of the world only what they want known after the decision is made. What is announced at first may he only a temporary solution. The real struggle lor ultimate power will go on behind the scenes. While the outside world there fore is really ignorant about what makes the Communists behave the way they do. the scheduled Mos cow meeting of the party's Cen tral Committee May 28 should he watched closely. This is a time when the newest shift in the Com munist Party line may be an nounced. Authorities nn Russian affairs say that one of the great difficul ties of American public opinion By SYDNEY J. HARRIS Whenever tlie press is blamed for "blowing up news" beyond its intrinsic importance. 1 am re minded nf the problem of the sci entist in the laboratory trying to do dispassionate research. On tlie surface there could be no greater contrast between the reporter Involved in the emotion al hurly-burly nf daily events and tlie scientist probing objectively into the essential constructs and basir behavior of microscopic ele ments. Yet one of Ihe most balllmg problems nf the scientist espec ially in the fundamental field nf physics is this: his very observ ance of certain phenomena chang es the chra (eristics of these phe nomena. In the act of focusing his mi croscope, nr even more sensitive instrument, upon Ihe object of his attention, he is inevitably alfrrt ins the object itself. The investiga tion is a factor in the results. Now. on a macrnensmie scale, this is precisely what is hap pening mure and more in Ihe field of news events. The fact that re porters and television cameras are especied tn he present or tlie very fart of their unanticipat ed presence-changes the char acter, and often the direction, nf the event. It is wrong to suggest as some naie critics have done that the news media "create" the event: but there ran he no doubt that ' "1st as Ibe subatomic instrument changes either the eloaty nr the iilun of the particle i the kmml. edge that an event is to he tele vised or extensively reported ads as an inllalinnary force on tlie people involved in the eent.

This is the principal stock in trade of right-wing crusaders who make antienmmunism their principal husiness. It may not be complete ly true. The Stalin era rule of terror has gone. A new cultural wave lias shown in Russian intellectual circles. It does not amount to a revolt lo overthrow communism. Russian life today is described as better than it has ever been before. Rut there is a recognizable split between the Communist Parly and the people. This is why Ameri can cultural exchange people seem to be knocking themselves out to cultivate contacts between East and West. The new freedom in the arts and literature which Khrushchev has criticized and been criti cized for is seen as a mani festation against party dictation and domination over all phases of Soviet life. Hence, if the Central Commil tee meeting May 2H produces another crackdown order that every Russian must be indoctri nated with hard line communism and propaganda, it will come as no great surprise to students of Russian affairs, litis has hap pened before, been resisted, and could be opposed again. Regarded as of greater import, however, will be any Russian de cisions on how it will handle in ternal economic strains. The dilemma faced by the So viet is that big investments must he made in agriculture and hous ing to raise Ihe standard of living and meet the demands of the Russian people. To do this, Russia must cut hack on either its industrial, mili tary or space program expendi tures. This will be difficult. Russia's current seven ' year program is analyzed as being on schedule, with steel production, though not capacity, approaching U.S. levels. Costs are rising, how ever, and the plan is seen as too ambitious. Something may have to give. Kor the first lime, il is being said in Washington that President Kennedy is better off with his problems than Khrushchev is with his. Which is praising will) faint damns.

For example, tlie extensive coverage given to the proceedings of the United Nations has simply transformed it from a deliberative body to a debating-society whose contestants are continually try ing tn score points in frnnt of ils immense world audience. The press had a duly to cover the incidents at Oxford, Mississip pi, a few months aRo; but who can doubt that this very coverage contributed in some measure tn Ihe violent turn of events?
