PAGE 4 New Crisis Stage The big question for the Unit- ed States now is whether it is head- ing toward a Korea-type war in Viet Nam. This is the considered opin- ion of the New York Times. which is not given to alarmist statements on such subjects. ‘There are. it says, clear signs that the American ground forces in South Viet Nam not only will grow larger in coming months but will be thrown into open combat with the Communist Viet Cong for- ces. atts The news on both the. military and political situations in South Viet Nam is bad. The Viet Cong has dealt more defeats to government forces— and_more casualties to Americans— in increasingly savage fighting. In“ Saigon the premier and president have resigned. vielding power once again to military leaders in the coun- try's*eighth change of government in* the last 20 months. The developments have stirred wide concern in Washington. Presi- dent Johnson held a series of meet- ing with his closest advisers, and in Congress there were demands for a full debate on the administration's Viet Nam policy. From Saigon a Times. correspondent reported: “‘Only immediate negotiations, of which there is no sign. could prevent the necessary use of American troops throughout the country during the summer.” : . The use of U.S. forces for open combat would be the latest of sever- al steps taken bv President Johnson to expand the U.S. commitment in Viet Nam. His 18 months in office have coincided with steady Viet Cong advances that have given them con- trol of at least half of South Viet Nam. and with continued instability in Saigon that has undermined the anti-Communist effort. The Times quotes Ambassador Maxwell Tavlor as saying that “the time for battlefield resolution is now upon us.” But this. it says, is not enough. The President ought to tell Congress and the American people what conclusions were reached on the extent to which the fast flowing United States military force in Viet Nam will take over the ground fight- ing there. and what reasons there are for believing that escalation in the jungle war will prove more effective than bonibing—and at what costs. It is said. that of the unpleasant alternatives facing him. President Johnson favors increasing the U.S. commitment on a limited basis short of an all-out military effort. This method could be a play for time in hopes that the South Vietnamese themselves would gain strength to block the Communists and open the way to peace. negotiations. But the prospects would seem to far from reassuring. On Firm Foundations: Even before the Commonwealth ministers have had a chance to get seated .at their conference table in London this week. disputes are re- portedly “crackling” and there are pessimistic predictions as to the out- come. But this is customary proced- ure. The need for disposing of con- troversial issues is a basic reason for the calling of ‘Such conferences. And the Commonwealth is strengthened thereby. not weakened. On our desk is a British Infor- mation Services release, just receiv- ed. in which this point is dealt with. The Commonwealth is described therein as an undefined racial part- nership, largely the product of his- torical accident. It is not difficult for critics to find faults in its setup. What they tend to disregard or light- lv dismiss is the one unwritten law, confirmed by tradition, which tran- slates idealism into realism effective- ly but quietly behind the scenes. This j { — is the unique understanding among its 21 members to consult each other on matters of common concern. Thus, every year about 35.000 telegrams go out from the Common- wealih Relations Office in London to the Commonwealth on every con- ceivable subject, supplemented by personal contact by the high com- missioners and the governments to which thev are accredited. And be- hind the governmental contacts are a multiplicity of people-to-people links at nearly every level and in al- most every sphere of activity. The latest C_R.O. list, for instance, names 101 organizations, actively working to keep this “process of con- sultation”’ alive—and these do not in- clude the numerous trade bodies. They foster friendship among stud- ents, encourage areonautica! research, finance pioneer projects, award prizes for outstanding Commonwea achievements, help the deaf and tend the graves of two world wars. As the Commonwealth evolved with the emergence of newly inde- pendent countries, new organizations sprang up with sought to meet the challenge by bringing together spec- ialists from the older countries to guide and advise the specialists from the newer ones. The Commonwealth Agricultural Bureau alone, situated in London, has 340 scientists and technicians operating 13 specialized agencies as well as 74 biological pro- jects scattered throughout the Com- monwealth. It is to meet next month to plan its next five vear campaign. Excluding-- the - conference” now , about to open, there are at least nine specialist conferences arranged from now until the end of this vear. Probably one of the most significant springs from an initiative taken by the 1964 prime ministers’ conference when it decided to emulate previous successful moves in education by | calling a conference on medicine. Big things are expected of this gath- ering, which opens ‘in Edinburgh on Oct. 14 and will be attended by health ministers or their ‘deputies from 21 countries. Thus this vast grouping of some 750 million people is, by consultation at every level, bringing about a cross-fertilization of knowledge and ideas which enriches the less-develop- ed.and older members alike. That is one very good reason for viewing its future with hope and confidence, despite the gravity of the issues which tend to divide it. Surely Not Again! * | j | Si last days again for the second time in 1,886 years. If so, it would be sad for some 800,000 foreign tour- ists.who come each year to see the Roman city a volcano buried on August 24 in A.D. 79. A sad commen- tary, too. on our boasted civilization. The Italian press -has expressed alarm recently at reports that enough is not being spent to keep the fam- ous ruins from utter ruin. They pre- | dict that if Pompeii goes back to ruin a second time, that will be the last time. Nothing worthwhile will re- main. The parching sun, heavy win- ter rains, and wind erosion are wear- ing away the pastel stone and brick buildings uncovered from the lava ash of Mount Vesuvius in two centur- ies of excavation. The work of digging the buried city back to. light started in 1755, after the location of ancient Pompeii was discovered in 1748. Most of the excavation has been done in the past 75 years. A whole new quarter was discovered in 1960. Preliminary ex- cavation disclosed princely villas with the petrified bodies of patricians. caught in their sleep by the eruption, and parents mummified as they rac- | ed through falling ash in a futile at- tempt to lead their children to safety. Work stopped later for lack of funds. Barbed wire still encloses this incomplete excavation. And oth- er new diggings are almost at a stand- still, while tourists tread the paving block streets, rutted deep with Ro- man chariot wheels. Yet there is much more to be. uncovered in the way of stadiums, shops and luxury villas. ‘ This unconcern for the past on the part of the Italian authorities is hard to account for. As a tourist at- traction alone the old city has been paying its way. And, of course, there are much more important reasons for preserving it for -posterity.

Who Needs Science? | Ottawa Dr. Alistair Cochran, a dis- tinguished scientist, has been retained by the Golf Society of Great Britain to conduct re- search into the golf swing. Dr. Cochran bristles when asked if he doesn't feel golf a trivial subject for a scientist. He thinks golf no more a waste of time than the theatre, music or art and adds: “We're seeking to enrich knowledge of a came every player tries to understand: and we're contributing to pure science at the same time, Later we hope to publish papers on the work we're doing as well as the results for golfers.’ By the time the study is fin- ished, Dr. Cochran hopes to be able to give professionals some much surer ground to work on. He continues, ‘‘and I'm certain- ly one of the first to need their help.” The London Observer has an extraordinary story about © Dr. Cochran which indicates he has - Journal ! a natural genius for golf. When he was a nine-year-old boy he played a round alone on the Ladies’ Course at Elie. Fife, Scotland and in reperting on his game to his family remark- ed casually he had taken six on the 3rd, one at the 4th and sev- /en at the, Sti >-His family >stop- ped him. “One at*the 4th?” In the evening his father and brother took him out on the course~ again and at the 4th there -was considerable lauzht- er. “This is where Alastair gets | down in one,.”’ they said “Yes,"’ said Alastair. He hit his ball, it pitched on the green —and ran on straight into the hole: . “Now do you beligve me?" he said. Dr. Cochran is believed to be the only nine-year-old to have scored two aces at one hole in one day. After that. he can afford scientific study of a swing that’s gone off a little.

Populdt With Gorillas New York Times The four gorillas at the Bronx Zoo, accustomed to life in the jungle or a reasonable facsimile thereof, have successfully ad- apted to the ‘‘vast wasteland.’ The gorillas have been watch- | ing television, with remarkable results. ‘ It began last winter when the | gorillas were confined to indoor | cages. Bored, cranky. out of sorts, their nerves on edge, they took to bickering among them- selves. Nobody at the Bronx Zoologi- eal Park can recall which staff member first thought of televis- ion as a gorilla tranquilizer. But Joseph A. Davis Jr, the z00's curator of mammals, decided it was worth a try. A 16-inch television set (black and white) was set up just out- side the bars of the gorilia quar- ters. When their keeper turned on the set, the gorillas stared at the picture tube transfixed. Dav- is reported, and their personali- ties changed. Petulamt’ brawling cessed.

Davis said no records had been kept of particular pro- grams except that “action shows’ were preferred. Several orangutans in the ad- | joining cage had a clear view of | the television but were not- in- terested Dr. John T. Emlen, a profes- sor of zoology at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, said in a telephone interview that goril- las apparently have a consider- ably longer attention span than other primates Dr. Emlen said other animals such as dogs and cats, watch ' television, and that some farm- ers have installed television sets in their barns to keep cows ser- ene For the past few weeks the Bronz 200 gorillas have been spending the davlight hours out- doors, and their television privil- eges have been suspended for the Summer. - But the set will be set up again when the gorillas go back indoors in mid- October. just in time for the new fall television season BOMBER CRASHES OTTAWA (CP)—The RCAF has lost its 25th CF-104 nuclear jet bomber.
