This, in effect, is the View held by Mr. Thomas E. Murray. I member of the United States Atomic Energy Commission and a prominent Roman Catholic church- man. in recent testimony before the Foreign Relations Committee, Mr. Murray called for an immediate halt. to hydrogen tests, on the ground that previous tests have provided all the information that is needed. and a limitation in the size and number of bombs to be stockpiled, on the ground that the bombs now avail- able are powerful enough and num- erous enough for any emergency that might arise. Furthermore, he favours such action on the part of the United States regardless of any- thing the Russians may or may not do. ”It is for us. as rational human beings". said Mr. Murray, ”to set limits on the basis of moral pur- poses and military usefulness". Whether or not Mr. Murray's suggestions are agreed to by his associates and made a part of Un- ited States policy. it" - certainly is a fresh approach to a problem that is moral as well as military in nature.

Mars Survey Resumed

Earth and Mars are swinging through space toward their nearest meeting of mid-century, as astron- 'omers adapt new instruments to an- swer old and perplexing puzzles. Do "canals" actually crisscross the red and green planet? If so, what are they?I1oes life of any sort exist there? Why h a s Martian geo- graphy been cltattgituz? The National Geographic Society and the Lowell Observatory of Flagstaff, Arizona, have announced that the veteran astronomer. Dr. E. C. Slipher, will return this spring to Bloemfontein. South Africa, for the second six- month exploration of the face of Mars in three years.

Dr. Sliphcr's Illars Expedition again will use the Univcl'sit.y of Michigan's '37-inch rcfracting tele-

scope, largest in t h e Southern hemisphere. at the Lamont-llussey Observatory nt-ar Bloemfontein. cap- ital of the Orange Free State. There Mars will appear almost overhead each night during its close aproach. The "seeing" through clear skies of Africa's winter will be as good as anywhere on earth. The neighboring planet will reach Its closest point September 7-about 35,300,000 miles away. On September 10. Earth, ;Mars. and the sun will be in opposi- tion, or exactly In line. Adding to ,20,000 photographs of Mars taken till 1954 from the same location. the Martian study will be the most ex- igtcnslve ever attempted.

. At Lowell Observatory, under lthe direction of Dr. Albert G. Wil- ilon, tests are being made of new "Image intensit'lers," electronic ap- paratus capable of greatly magnify- Ing 1 tclescope's power and resolu- gtlon of detail. Photographs taken of no image on the -Lumlcon, a light- bqdtlng tube based on television ptncloles. require fur shorter ex- puuu Ilmn than throat tbs au-

scope alone. l.)r. Sliphcr and Dr. Wil- son hope that faster photographs will eliminate the fuzzlness of atmo- spheric movement--the effect that makes stars seem to twinkle-and give science its first sharp, clear look at Mars.

As 1-Jartli's neighbor, next farth- t-st away in distance from the sun, Mars follows a lopsided orbit that takes 687 days for each circuit. It thus rcaches opposition once every two earth years. Because its orbit is ccccntric, it passes at varying dis- tances, from a maximum of 62.900,- tltltl miles to a minimum of 34,600,- tltltl miles. Its closest approach. Such as the one in I936, occur every 15 years. The last came in lfltl; the next will be in 1971.

Mars is the only member of the solar system whose entire surface astronomers can see. l'nlik9 the moon, the red planet rotates so that all of it is visible. It turns on its axis once every 24 hours and 37 minutes. Half the diameter of Earth, it has a correspondingly wcahcr gravityea 200-pound human would weigh only 74 pounds sthcrc, its at- mosphere is thinner; pressure at the surface is less than at the top of Mt. Everest. Man has long bcen fascin- ated by the possibility of life on Mars. Only the lowest forms of plant life. however, are now thought prob- able.

A Courageous Man

Pcaslee Streets. a Florida police- man, deserves some kind of nwrial for courage. One would almost ven- ture to suggest that in years to come. when racial prejudice and hat- red have been forgotten as a bad dream in the night, his name will be found in the history books as one of the builders of true American de- mocracy.

This is the way of it. Some months ago policeman Streets filed his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for the Governorship of the State. At that time, he declared himself in favour of continued racial segregation. Since then, however, he has been doing some serious think- ing on the subject with the result that a day or two ago he made a public disavowal of segregation and endorsed the Supreme Court decis- ion outlawing the old social prac- tice. Said be: "When I filed my pap- ers I spoke from a background of segregated customs in Florida. Late- ly, I have studied it all over again, recalled the moral teachings of my parents. and decided to change my position. I see the need to approach the problem of public school integ- ration without harsh emotion and with sanity, reason, and persuasion".

Mr. Streets must be a brave man, for these are brave words. What- ever chance he had of becoming Governor six months ago he has none now; for, unfortunately, sanity and reason and persuasion are not the tools which, in the matter of ra- cial relations in the Southern Un- cial relations in the Southern United States at this time, brings political prcferment. But, some day, one likes to believe, when Wisdom's voice is heard more clearly in the streets, Pcaslee Streets will be honoured as one who preferred the moral teach- ings of his parents to the doctrine of racial animosity. For the moment, he must be satisfied with the status of a voice crying in the wilderness.

EDITORIAL NOTES

An astronomer reports that his research indicates there are con- scious beings on several of the plan- ets and their system of communica- tion arc better than ours. If that, being interpreted, means that they are able to witness earthly events, they certainly have no lack of

Whatever else may be said about the attempts to bring the benefits of "white civilization" to the native population of Canada'I northlands, they seem to be producing results in at least one particular.

DRAMA OPPORTUNITY Sir, - As one intcrcstctl in drama in our Province. I was de- lighted to learn that "Angel

Street.” a Little Theatre Guild pro- ,

duction, directed by lilrs. Rt-he Scantlebury and winner of the F. El. Regional Drama Festival had been one of right, across Canada, to be invited to compete in the

Final Festival of Dominion Drama -

Festival, to be held this year in Sherhrooke, P Q.

I wonder, however. how much this news means to t'h:irloltcton- ians, Islanders an(l Klarilimcrs

in general. As "Angel Street" is the only play chosen from the Maritimes to compete. that it was the best play produced in the Marilimcs, this year, and is going to represent the .Vlariliincs against the rest of ('uuarlzi, The other plays invited were from Van- c o u v e r.

Guild for producing this play.

Now, being a winner and being invited to compete in the Final Festival is nnt all beer and skit- tles. The trip to Shcrhrooke needs to be financed and rouchlv and unofficially I would estimlltc the cost to be 3l.tltltl. The rltrcclnr and cast of iAnt1cl Street" propose pill- ting on another pcrl trmzuu-c of their play before guilt: to Sher- brooke to help in paytn; these ex- penses, and all I hmc to say is that they deserve a full house; yes, two or three full linuscs. CitI'I.ens of ('l1;lrlotlcI--nu and en- virons can show lhcir appreciat- ion by purchasing Ilt'lx'l'li for this performance or these lllTf0l"l1tlll- ces without question and without delay.

Thcre uas a warm breeze. the sky was bright with white clouds drift- . ing by and the sun brightly shin- ing.

A NEW WORD 18 ADDED TO YOUR VOCABULARY

A new word has been added to your vocnbuln ; recont1y-.buln- washing.

We've heard a good deal about how it WI: uaed on our soldiers held prisoner by the Chinese Communists. And we'll probably hear more about it in the future

Why do some become victim! of this technique while others suc- cessfully resist?

COMPLEX PROBLEM. . This is a complex problem an many things must be taken into consideration. But two doctors at Louis have come up with a sim-

pllfied explanation.

Behavior, Drs. George Winokur and Peter S. Santuccl report in the result of mental, verbal and motor activity. Behavior usually is learned either by positive re- ward or by relief from fear.

A prisoner of war. for example may be forced to write pro-Com- munist statements and sing Com- munisl songs while still not accepting such activities. Yet, when the promise of a reward is given, the doctors explain, be- havior is reinforced.

INTERNAL CONFLICT

if he does not believe in his ac- tivities, an internal conflict arise! between his speech and motor re- sponses and his thinking.

Drs. Winokur and Santucci ex- plained that threc paths are thcn open to the prisoner to resolve this conflict. He can outwit his captors, refuse to do their bid- ding or accept their teachings.

Obviously the first two meth- ods will bring punishment and no rewards.

If the prisoner educational a nd social back- ground and has an insight into political affairs. he is probably more able to accept short-lived

has a strong

punishment and refuse to do what his captors wish. N0 FORMAL EDUCATION

On the other hand, a prisoner with no formal education and no interest in political or sociu-eco- nomic developments is likely to become confused when lectured on controversial topics, Often he will absorb the ideas offered him.

Once he is repatriated. this prisoner is apt to become con- fused again and another conflict arises between his thinking and that of the society to which he has been returned.

QUESTION AND ANSWER

N.G is it possible for an on- larged liver to return to it's nor- mal size?

Answer.: it depends upon the cause of the enlargement.

If it is due to heart diseasaoncc the heart disease is corrected, the liver enlargement usually clean up. The same applies to liver in- fections in most instances.

However. if the enlmgement ll due to cancer or to cirrhosis of the liver that has remained un- treated too long, the enlargement usually persists.
