WE ARE THE FRONTIERS OF SCIENCE
Whether belonging to child or young adult
the mind-that is capable of becoming either
scientist or literary genius or leader has
but two choices: it either must live among
lesser minds' or seek out the few in books
classrooms and laboratories who can keep
alive the- desire to learn and create
A lot of emphasis has fallen on science
since the war Probably too much But the
tensions' of international struggle are like
that The Russians have done an effective
job — effective that is within their sys-
tem which is abhorred by Americans
i After all then even right here in Ada
each of us forms the ‘frontier of science'
because we make up the human environ-
ment Our collective wills can propel this
city's youths to lives of self-improvement
or we can allow them to make self indul-
gence the chief concern
An athlete is taught that a close victory
over a weak opponent deserves little praise
In like manner an enlightened people must
embrace the ideal of living at the intellec-
tual peak for any other success is mockery
Lamentable indeed is the person who
has never been taught at -the level of his
capabilities who has never been charged
with the responsibility ofdoing his best job
of learning — all his life who cannot find
about him others with an incisive view
and thirst for truth
Education is a big job and we are all the
frontier a frontier pressing outward or
strangling inward
One United States Senator advocates
what he calls a “crash” program of agri-
cultural research to develop new industrial
uses that will become heavy demand mar-
kets for our big crops such as wheat cot-
ton peanuts livestock corn and others
This is none other than the sometimes capri-
cious Homer E Capehart who is serving
his third term from Indiana
Will a frantic research program work?
There is no definite answer First of all
there is some question as to how much
present agricultural research might be ac-
celerated Second there is the problem of
shortage of scientists Third the matter of
money is not an insignificant consideration
because if this is to be an all-out effort it
probably also means that the researchers
will not be offered permanent jobs These
are but a few of the problems
However if such a hurry-up research
program could be steamed up and coordi-
nated there might be some genuine benefits
for the nation’s farmers particularly if agri-
cultural industrialists had a -firm hand in
the project to be certain that the laboratory
kept in tune with the market
In basic research of course there is no
concern except the advancement of know-
ledge but Senator Capehart’s “crash pro-
gram” would be applied research of the
most immediately practical kind
One of the things we like best about the
1957 World Series — admittedly because
we like baseball — is the tremendous renew-
al of public interest It has been one of the
heaviest gate receipts in years f
Associated Press News Analyst
WASHINGTON OP — If anybody could look
down upon the earth from that satellite mightn’t
it appear that the United States and the Soviet
Union are like pn estranged couple: bickering
furiously ready to start slugging if need be but
really wedded to each other?
The idea may sound fantastic since the cold
war has stopped defrosting But there are some
tantalizing hints in the marathon interview granted
to James Reston of the New York Times by the
big man in Russia Nikita Khrushchev
On the face of it Khrushchev seemed to be
taking the topical chip-on-the-shoulder attitude:
I want us to get together but you’re di-ijng thus-and-so
and anhow I can get along with-
out you very well and you'll hurt more than I
do if the bustup is final -
Men in political life do not tend of course to
put things quite so simply Khrushchev did say
however:
1 Russia wants peaceful coexistence friendly
rivalry Many a long marriage has been based
on less than that
2 The West is making all the trouble-keeping
Germany divided inciting Turkey against Syria
and so forth Just like m a domoestic squabble:
I’m perfect you're the one who's at fault
3 CoiTimunism continues to march forward and
would survive a war of missiles while capitalism
wouldn't “Go ahead leave and take the tele-
vision set with you but just wait until I get
through with you in the divorce court’
It would be far-fetched to carry this comparison
too far but it does look as if Khrushchev might
have been thinking about the long cpld winter
ahead even while pointing the way to the door
There is not a question in the world that could
not be solved he said if the Russians and Amer-
icans could approach each other as equals What
he meant here of course is that Uncle Sam
should get down off his high horse and approach
with posies in hand Uncle Sam might reply he's
afraid of getting bitten by a bear if he dismounts
Khrushchev sounded another suggestive note
He did not claim the Russians-are ahead in develop-
ing all new weapons Rather as Reston put it:
“The Soviet Union might be ahead on one thing
today but the United States would have it to-
morrow and vice versa” he (Krushchev said “It
is all one and the same science"
It is indeed and there in the long run may
lie the answer to this world-splitting dispute
Just as an estranged couple may draw together
in the face of disaster which threatens both par-
ties this country "and the Soviet Union may be
forced together by a common danger arising from
scientific forces which neither by itself can control
It has become obvious that the two countries
are not far apart in scientific development It is
evident too that each will strive harder than ever
to outstrip the other now that the United States
has suffered the humiliation of being left behind
in the satellite field while the Russians have
felt the intndcation of success
Will a time come when the two countries must
agree to live together rather then die separately?
When both sides remember that in spite of all
differences they're members of the same human
family? An American TV singer named Tennessee
Ernie Ford has a saying that may be appropriate:
“What hurts is when you put other things ahead
of keeping the family together That's what really
mildews the sheets”

Rickets Reduction Deemed Modem Miracle
By C A DEAN M D
MEDITORIAL: If the incidence
of poliomyelitis disappears in the
next few years (and it seems it
will) this is a modern miracle
Another miracle we don't hear
a reat deal about is the reduc-
tion of rickets in this country al-
most to the vanishing point
Not many years ago deformed
legs crooked backs and other de
fects were common These results
of rickets are now rarely seen in
our children Whv?
Rickets was first described in
1645 but its cause wasn't found
until 1922 This was the deficiency
of vitamin D in our diet
Eleven years later a medical
journal suggested a cheap widely
available agreeable source of vi-
tamin D be provided Vitamin D
milk offered promising possibilities
In that year 1933 the Council
on Foods and Nutrition organized
a vitamin D milk program With
the help of many other groups it
became a successful public health
measure
The lowered incidence of rickets
today is a modern miracle and one
can assume vitamin D fortified
milk has played an important role
in bringing this about
(Q “Your recent article on chlg-
ger bites was of great interest to
my husband and myself Since we
have been at the lake lor four
years every summer we suffer
from what appears to be chigger
bites We have used various oint-
ments and pills without relief of
the terrific itching and soreness
What should we do?” Mrs R W
(A) Prevention is the most im-
portant thing I would secure a re-
pellent from your doctor or phar-
macist next summer before the
chigger season and use it faithfully
Bathing as soon as you come from
the out-of-doors is helpful in re-
moving the chiggers before they
leave their mark Another proce-
dure is to spray your camp (cot-
tage) area with an insecticide to
kill the higgers

713000 bales It compares with
13310000 produced last year and
13669000 for the 10-year 1946-

Because of the accumulation of
reserve and - surplus supplies of
11223000 bales from past crops
the department had imposed rigid
marketing quotas on this year’s
crop In addition $ome additional
land was taken out of production
under the soil bank payment pro-
gramed The department said the condi-
tion of the crop on Oct 1 averaged
80 per cent of normal compar-
ed with 77 per cent a year ago and
73 per cent for the 10-year Oct 1
average
The yield of cotton was expect-
ed to average 435 pounds on the
harvested acre basis compared
with 409 pounds last year and 300
for the 10-year average
Condition of the crop on Oct 1
indicated acre yield and the pro-
duction respectively included:
Oklahoma 75 per cent of normal
275 TouDds per acre and produc
tion 330000 bales Texas 83332
and 4100000
In an accompanying report the
Census Bureau said 2498552 run-
ning bales of cotton from this
year's crop were ginned prior to
Oct 1 compared with 5523648
girtned to the corresponding date
a year ago
Ginnings by states this year and
last respectively in running bales
included: Oklahoma 9147 and 78-
030 Texas 860436 and 1631551

up 50000 bales in Texas and 15-
000 in Oklahoma

WASHINGTON — “As the wea-
ther grow brisker so do Demo
crats” says Katie Louchheim vice
chairman and director of women’s
activities of the Democratic Na-
tional Committee Katie herself
exemplifies this theory
After launching the annual
observance of Democratic Wom-
en’s Day in which top women of
the party are honored in special
programs across the nation the
peripatetic Katie has embarked
on a travel schedule that will keep
her on the go most of the time
Currently she is touring “the
country with Chairman Paul Butler-
to attend a series of regional
conferences with Democratic par-
ty leaders She’s sparking interest
in Democratic “woman power” to
insure success of the annual “Dol-
lars for Democrats” drive She’s
also encouraging the organization
of "Teen Dem Clubs” as well
as expansion of the Young-Demo- j
crats of America The YDs she I
says have a new college manual
containing suggestions for organ-
izing clubs on campuses and car-
rying on a program of activities
Though there is no national
organization of Democratic wom-
en Democratic women’s clubs in
many communities are making
their influence felt in many import-
ant ways
She cites women’s organization
in the New Jersey governor cam-
paign Under the state vice chair-
man Katharine Elkus White a
Democratic w o m e n’s campaign
committee has been formed to de-
velop a point-by-point program of

weather clear skies were forecast
for the sixth game of the World
Series in New York City
Showers continued during the
night along the coastal sections
from Washington southward into
central California Heaviest rain-

Pebeahsy Cleared
Of Murder Charge
LAWTON UPl — Charles Pebeah-
sy was free today after his ac-
quittal last night by a Superior
Ctourt jury to a charge he murder-
ed his wife
The jury deliberated nearly
three hours and returned to the
court room once to again hear
the testimony of Deputy Sheriff
Oral Ridgeway
Ridgeway testified Pebeahsy told
him when the accused man was
questioned: “I killed her with
these two- hands”
Pebeahsy had been accused of
strangling his wife Darlene 24 on
the driveway of his parents’ home
near Cache
Pebeasy's 13 - year - old niece
Carolyn Yates testified yesterday
she saw Mrs Pebeahsy fall and
strike her head on a car or the
ground
The program began three min-
utes late and listeners were thor-
oughlv mystified to hear it start
with the play's detective summing
up his conclusions ’
This went on for eight minutes
before an announcer interrupted
“We seem to be having a little
trouble with the ’Death of a Lead-
ing Lady’” he said "She seems
very dead at the moment”
He turned the tape player off
then restarted it This time the
listeners heard suspects in the
murder case being grilled1 al-
though as far as the air waves
were concerned there hadn’t yet
been a murder: The second tape
ran on for 18 minutes and then
the announcer interrupted again
“Not much point to allowing
this program to go on" he said
“I’ll play some music until
10 p:m”
He played a couple of bars and
announced:
“That was ’It Might as Well be
Spring’ It might as well be spring
It might as well be autumn or
next Thursday fortnight We will
now hear the 10 pm time signal”
Some time passed but the sig-
nal failed to sound
The disgusted announcer apolo-
gized and expressed hope that the
next program would go on roughly
as advertised It did
A BBC spokesman said “Death
xt a Leading Lady” was recorded
on three tapes and they were
played in the wrong order
What happened to the time sig-
nal? That’s still a mystery
