A Fowl Effort
Who was surprised? If you feed
a radioactive dose to hens, why
wouldn’t you get radioactive eggs?
But Dr. Clyde Driggers, of the
University of Florida agricultural
experiment station, called them
uncommon hens — and uncommon
hens they were, inasmuch as they
had been given doses of radioactive
calcium and they laid radioactive
eggs.
THE poultry-department scien-
tist set out to learn what happens
to calcium from the atomic energy
commission at Oak Ridge and fed
minute single doses to two hens
and daily doses to another two. He
kept them under close observation.
The hens suffered no ill effects'
and got along apparently as well
as other hens until they were
killed at the end of the project.
With the aid of a Geiger counter,
the experimenters found:
THE SHELL of an egg laid by
one of the hens 15 minutes after
the first dose contained enough
labeled calcium to make the count-
er tick, but none of the material
was in the yolk or white of the egg.
Radioactive calcium showed up
on the shell, yolk and white of an
egg laid 24 hours later and the
white contained 70 times more of it
than the yolk.

Chills Charges
EUROPE
Just in Case
The demands of the cold war are
becoming steadily more vast and
insistent. First and continuing is
money—American dollars to stem
the tide of communism and protect
itself—so the theory goes—by pro-
tecting Europe.
NOW IT IS MEN Europe wants.
American GI’s to garrison the con-
tinent. A permanent garrison of
American troops in western Europe
—even after German occupation
ends—is vital to the Atlantic pact
defense, several European experts
believe.
THE EXPERTS quoted argue
that American troops would pro-
vide on-the-spot leadership for
Europe’s defense forces, and would
serve as a reassurance to France
if German troops eventually are
too powerful in the western Euro-
pean defense.
At present, as the pact alliance
rounds out its first year, its 12
member powers have about 22 di-
visions of varying strength and ef-
fectiveness among them.
The normal complement of a di-
vision is 15,000 men. That means a
total of 330,000 potential fighting
men ready to meet any attack up-
on the pact signatories. It also
means that each pact signatory is
putting less than two divisions into
the overall plan to protect them-
selves.
Under such a setup it is conceiv-
able that America might have to
bolster the defensive line: but the
setup poses anew the question:
How sincere is Europe in efforts
to rehabilitate and protect itself?

John Hopkins university official,

risk” by labeling it “mere moon-

Prime Minister Nehru, in submit-
ting the pact, said he was satisfied
it would halt a drift toward catas-
trophe. “We have stopped ourselves
at the edge of a precipice and
turned our back to it,” Nehru said.
THE AGREEMENT guarantees
the security of the Moslem minority
in Hindu India, and the Hindu mi-
nority in Moslem Pakistan. It also
permits the unhampered migration
of both minorities across the bor-
ders of the two dominions.
The move was an idealistic one
and had the blessings of the civil-
ized world. But whether it would
work was a problem that would
still trouble hemisphere diplomats.

ports that the announced—and prob-
ably sincere—effort to abolish
caste in order to bring about unity,

CHILDREN:
A New Hope
A new hope for stunted children
—a promise of speeding the growth
of undernourished boys and girls
—is held out in the drug aureomy-
cin. The “golden drug,” it was
said, may prove a powerful growth
stimulator.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT was
made at the national convention of
the American Chemical society in
Philadelphia, where delegates
learned that already the drug has
increased the rate of growth of
hogs, chickens and turkeys by as
much as 50 per cent. Its effects,
delegates were told, “far exceed”
those obtainable with any known
vitamin. It is being tested now on
undersized children.
Scientists said the growth-accel-
erating action gt the drug “may
hold enormous' long-range signifi-
cance for the survival of the hu-
man race in a world of dwindling
resources,” because it may prove
of tremendous importance in ex-
tending the world’s meat supply
and reducing the cost of produc-
tion.
VACATIONS:
Why Not England?
For the American tourist plan-
ning a trip abroad, England can’t
be beat, according to Farnham F.
Dudgeon, editor-in-chief of West-
ern Newspaper Union, a newspaper
syndicate.
DUDGEON visited England some
weeks ago along with 14 other rep-
resentatives of newspaper syndi-
cates, press associations and
periodicals. The host on the flight
over the Atlantic and the trip
through England and Scotland was
the British Travel association
which is engaged in a campaign to
attract tourist trade to the British
Isles.
The syndicate chief reported that
“England definitely is the place
to go” for the American who wants
a memorable trip abroad at a
modicum of cost. This is true, he
said, because of the many places
and things in England that are so
closely tied in with our own his-
tory.
“Right now, England is a tourist
paradise,” Dudgeon said. “Espe-
cially is this true because the
pound devaluation has added so
much more purchasibility to the
American tourist dollar. For ex-
ample, one may stay at almost
any of the picturesque inns or ho-
tels for as little as $21 to $23 a week.

FACES TRIAL . . . Jack Jordan,
Los Angeles, says he faces trial
in Bermuda because of his refusal
to divulge private business trans-
actions to the Bermuda govern-
ment. He represents American and
British interests in a housing
project in Bermuda.
BERLIN
Greetings & Etc.
The man of the house was going
over the bills on the tenth of the
month. All were formal state-
ments except the one from his
family physician.
“Tomorrow,” the doctor had
scrawled at the bottom of his,
“this bill is a year old.”
So the man of the house re-
turned the statement to the
physician with his own notation
beneath, “Happy Birthday!”
Fear Crisis
In the event of a crisis such as
that precipitated by the Russian
blockade in 1948, Berlin was ready.
The west has stocked the city’s
bins with enough food and coal to
make a mockery of any new block-
ade.
In the 11 months since the Reds
lifted the blockade of the city, a
steady stream of train, truck and
barge traffic has piled up what is
felt to be adequate supplies to meet
any emergency.
When Russia clamped down the
blockade, in an effort to impose its
own political convictions on Ber-
lin, the city had only an average
of six weeks supplies on hand. Now
the basic staples are in about six
months supply and in all probabil-
ity will continue to increase as
further stocks are added.
It was felt that the Russians,
aware of this process, would be less
foolhardy than to attempt another
blockade effort, but even so, no
one was taking any chances be-
cause of the unpredictability of
Soviet action and of the old truism
that “what has happened once, can
happen again.”

There is little need to remind
Americans of the particular charm

HIGH COURT
Accused Must Talk
A ruling of the U.S. supreme
court is likely to serve as a power-
ful stimulant for those accused of
Communist sympathies and refuse
to talk.
The court refused to grant a hear-
ing to two Hollywood writers con-
victed of contempt of congress.
The action let stand a decision that
congressional committees may com-
pel witnesses to say whether they
are Communists. The vote was
6 to 2.
By its action, the high court re-
fused to interfere with a lower
court decision holding that congress
may abridge either the freedom of
speech or the freedom to remain
silent “when legislating to avert
what it believes to be a threat of
substantive evil to national wel-
fare.”
The high court handed down the
opinion but did not explain its
reason. It took the action in a brief
order saying it would not hear the
appeals of screen writers John
Howard Lawson and Dalton Trum-
bo. They had been pending since
last August 11. Lawson and Trumbo
are each under sentence to serve a
year in jail and to pay a fine of
$1,000. They had been free under
bond.
The court’s order noted that Jus-
tices Black and Douglas favored
a review of the case, and that
Justice Clark took no part.
Lawson and Trumbo were two of
10 prominent screen figures who
refused to tell a congressional com-
mittee whether they had been
members of the Communist party.

The country was informed during
the week that there is at least some
insurance against another “Pearl
Harbor” in the event an enemy
should attack. That insurance is a
radar and civilian-airplane-spotting
network that is now far enough
along to provide protection.
The announcement also reported
that alarm systems have been in-
stalled that can flash an alert to
air force interceptor squadrons
and civilian warning centers with-
in a matter of seconds. All these
moves simply are preparedness,
officials stressed, and do not in-
dicate any need of these defenses
is imminent.
Air force officials said more
than 200 warning centers now are
hooked up and many more will
soon be in operation. The centers
are selected by officials such as
governors, mayors and chiefs of
police. Headquarters will be in key
cities and someone will always be
available to man the warning ap-
paratus.

amputations and operations. Some are kept in whole sections; some are
ground. Here, a technician processes a rib for the bank under sterile
conditions. The bone will be ground into small bits and made into bone
“patties” for storage. Navy scientists are seeking ways to keep skin
alive indefinitely as they can keep bones. A skin bank has already been
started.

CLAIM & COUNTER-CLAIM
BUSINESS:
Too Many Idle
According to U.S. Commerce
Secretary Charles Sawyer, business
is good—but there is too much un-
employment.
HE ADDED, however, that it is
dangerous to set a specific figure
as the danger point in unemploy-
ment because “people will get
panicky” when it is reached.
He also said that his department
was not drawing up any plan to
combat unemployment.
Could Anti-Red Bill Win Congress' Okay?
Could a bill to control Commu-
nist activities in the United States
win approval of congress? There
was some squabbling about the
question with claim and counter-
claim being hurled.
Senator Ferguson (R., Mich.)
claimed he could line up top-heavy
support for such a measure, but
said he expected the administra-
tion’s leaders would try to block
action on it. That forecast of Dem-
ocratic intentions burned majority
leader Scott Lucas, of Illinois. He
promptly retorted that Ferguson
was “just talking politics.”
But Ferguson told reporters he
was convinced the administration
is opposing passage of the bill and
that the difficulty was in getting
senate leaders to bring it up for
action.
