INTERN ATIONAL CONVENTION:

Parliamentary move

'U' hosts remote sensing meeting blocks House debate

By PAT MAHONEY
Is man as a species doomed to
extinction or will he improvethe;
conditions under which he lives?
Dr. Thomas Malone, senior vice
president of The Travelers Insur-
ance Company, told the Sixth In-
ternational Symposium on Re-
mote Sensing of Environment last
night he is optimistic ecological
problems will be solved although
there are "symptoms that all is
not well."

United Nations to St. Patrick's
Cathedral.
Names of war dead will be read
at Trinity Church at the head of
Wall Street, where brokers, traders
and financiers are expected to take
part in a noon memorial service.
In Washington, the widow of
the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King
Jr., is expected to lead thousands
of marchers on a candlelight
parade around the White House.
The moratorium, meanwhile,
has reached the point where
headquarters in Washington has
little to do with what h a p p e n s
today.
Peggy Shaker. director of the
volunteers who continue to pour
into th2 headquarters, now has
them readying mailing lists for
Nov. 13-14, the two-day November
sequel to this month's single day
observance in the committee's
plan of escalating dissent.
Moratorium leaders have de-
clared that if November's demon-
strations fail to pressure the ad-
ministration to call an end to
the war, a three-day moratorium
will be held in December.
If that fails to produce results,
say leaders, longer moratoriums
will be held every month.

The Symposium is meeting inI
the Rackham Bldg. this week.
Sponsored by the Institute of Sci-
ence and Technology and t h ej
Willow Run Laboratories, a n d
Agricultural Research Service of
the Department of Agriculture
and the U.S. Geological Survey.
During the past three million
years, Dr. Malone said, the human
race's capacity to improve 1if e
conditions have been constrain-
ed. Now man is in a unique period
in his history because a combina-
tion of this "mastery of matter
and energy and of information
and the ability to couple these"
have removed old limits, Malone
said. Earlier generations were held
back by a lack of knowledge, Ma-
lone said, and he urged the aud-
ience to use the new capabilities
to eliminate shortages of food,
clothing, housing and other things1
the human race needs.
However this new ability may
be eliminated by current prob-
lems, Malone declared. Among
these are the threat of a nuclear
disaster, the population explosion,
the gap between developed and
underdeveloped countries and the
quality of the human environ-
mnent.
To deal with these problems,
Malone recommended a new re-
newal that would be entirely dif-
ferent institutional arrangement
that has developed, and a new
commitment to bring actions into
congruence with stated beliefs.
After the speech, a panel discus-
sion on effective use of environ-
mental data was held.
Panelists i n c l u d e d Harvey
Banks, chairman of the board of
organization of consulting engin-
eers in San Francisco, Bruce Cook,
a mnember of the Commonwealth
Scientific and Industrial Research
Organization in Australia. Dr.
David Jenkins of the Michigan
Department of Natural Resources,
and Dr. Roger Tomlinson, vice
president of the General Computer
Corporation in Ottawa.
Dr. Stanley Cain of the Natural
Resources School was moderator.
The discussion considered ex-
panding the use of available data.

For years scientists have collect-
ed data, but this is often not avail-
able to users in a form that helps
them, Banks said. More users must
be made aware of the data and its
potentials. Applications outside the
federal government, Banks said,
should be considered.
Jenkins said the University's
Department of Natural Resources
has wanted to use environmental
sensing to determine environment-l
al abnormalities, map the physical
environment and count animals
and fish. He asked why some in-
formation had been classified.
None of the basic techniques of
environmental sensing, Holter'

claimed, are classified. He added By WALTER SHAPIRO

are being presented by scientists
fromn universities, the federal gov-. However, a series of supporters
erment and industry, of the Nixon administration an- !
nounced plans to push for ad-:

journment and continually ask for
quorum call.
At the close of House business
Rep. W. S. Stuckey iD-Ga)
moved for adjournment. This mo-
tion which would have blocked
the special session completely was
defeated by a 210-99 vote. Rep.
Marvin Esch (R-Mich) voted
against adjournment.
Although opponents of the Viet-
nam war held the floor for most
of the four hour session there was
a good deal of debate between
them and supporters of the Nixon
administration. Rep. Henry Jac-
obs D-Ind) said if this country
ever goes to wear it should be "be-
cause we have to, not because we
are able to."
John B. Anderson (R-Ill.) asked
Jacobs, "Do those that endorse the
objectives of the moratorium
(support) absolute unconditional
withdrawal of U.S. troops from
Vietnam?"
Jacobs replied, "obviously there
has to be some kind of negotia-
tion." and he added, "to my mora-
torium friends, don't blow it,
you've done pretty well already."
Rep. Benjamin Rosenthal (D-
N.Y., was the next speaker. And
he gave a speech outlining the
history of our involvement in
Vietnam.
Rep. G. V. Montgomery (D-
Miss. requested a quorum call
at the conclusion of Rosenthal's
hour. After the role was called,
speaker John McCormick an-
nounced the absence of a quorum.
In response to several queries to
clarify house rules, McCormick
ruled that the house faced two
choices -either a motion to ad-
journ "Or a motion to instruct
th Sgt. at Arms to produce the
issing members."
After somemfurther parliamen-
tary wrantling, Majority Leader
Carl Albert said, "I would prefer
not to make this motion but in
view of the parliementary situ-
ation I move the house adjourn."
On a roll call vote the adjourn-
inent motion carried by a vote
of 112 to 110. At that the session
adjourned for four hours after'it
had begun.
