Wa nt Is Research On Birth Conttrol By ANDREW HAWLEY Providing information and materials for birth control in under- developed countries cannot provide the answer to the world population problem, Prof. Ronald Freedman of the sociology department said last night. Speaking at the third in a series of Student Government Council seminars observing United Nations Week, Prof. Freedman said that without research on the nature of family organization and the increase of the birth rate in these countries, merely making facilities for birth control available is not enough. The present UN agencies "studying trends in population and offering assistance to countries who come to them for help are 0 Post o e sufficient, he said.

Warren E. Miller and Donald E. Stokes at a political science roundtable meet- ing. Prof. Miller, assistant program director of the University Survey Research Center and Prof. Stokes, study director of the Center, have been working to explain "the poorly understood national elec- toral conduct and behavior." Their study is based upon the records of the roll-call voting strongly organized districts, there is a high degree of agreement. Where they have weakly organized districts, the agreement is less. Among Southern Democrats, he added, there is less policy agree- ment where the party is strong because the party action tends to inhibit agreement. GOP More Predictable "No matter if it's a question of strongly organized districts versus weaker ones among Northern Re- publicans," Prof. Miller said, "there is no difference in level of policy agreement between the con- stituents and their representa- tives." Prof. Stokes followed Prof. Miller's comments with "the un- derstanding of the ultimate ques- tion of policy agreement." Knowledge Assumed "The framers of the Constitu- tion created a lower House which would depend on the wishes of the people," Prof. Stokes said. "This assumed that the congressman would have to know the difference of opinion in his district as well as take a stand on his own. But, it also assumed that the constituents would have to know the issues of legislative policy and then take a stand which would influence the behavior at the poles." Congressmen have a perception of what are the constituent atti- tudes in their districts as reflected in congressional opinion and their own behavior as congressmen, Prof. Stokes claimed. But on the constituent side, the situation is a charicature of what one might expect to find. In order to test whether voters are aware of their congressmen and their respective actions, the Survey Research Center conducted a survey which asked whether they had heard or read about local congressional incumbents and their opponets. "In areas where Democrats op- posed Republicans, lass than one- fifth of the people had read or heard about both candidates, Prof. Stokwes revealed. Of all those who voted in 1958, less than one-fourth of the people had heard or read about either candidate. The people's perception of their legislature is thin, Stokes said, adding that decisions are based on party labels and statements like, "He's a good man. He is sincere." Both Profs. Miller and Stokes are co-authors of "The American Voter," which is forthcoming. PROF. WARREN MILLER ... political perceptions By KENNETH McELDOWNEY John Hale, assistant dean of men and director of the men's residence halls, said yesterday that it will probably be impossible to have upperclass or freshman housing for men by September. He said the biggest block to forming the houses is getting the support of the student govern- ment organizations concerned. Hale commented that the support of the residence hall student gov- ernment should be obtained. "Who do we work with-the offi- cers of the old Inter-House Coun- cil or the Inter-Quadrangle that isn't even formed yet?" he asked. He added that getting informa- tion and acceptance of the idea from University units such as the literary college would not be diffi- cult. The Board of Governors for Residence Halls gave their per- mission for work to be done In implementing the use of a maxi- mum of three houses for either upperclass or freshman housing last week. The stipulation was made that Hale should report back to the Board periodically so that the feasibility of setting up the pro- gram by next September could be determined. Anotherddifficulty that will be encountered is making all plans in time so that incoming fresh- men and students that are inter- ested on campus can be notified. In discussing the two new types of housing, Hale mentioned an- other problem that must be con- sidered. He said that, economical- ly, a freshman house must be formed at least one year before upperclass housing. He explained that if they took over a house for upperclass hous- ing there would be a problem In filling it. With the normal turn- over, they could expect to have a nucleus of 50 or 60 students re- maining in the house as upper class students. However, Hale commented that not more than 30 other upper- class students could be expected to move in from other houses. This would leave a hole of about 30 students in the house; the University can't afford this, he said. The freshman house would sup- ply enough students to supple- ment the students transferring from other units on campus. Tri CM t3T i1 Must Shift Emphasis "Providing information and ma- terials for birth control won't help unless we provide programs re- ducing rewards for large families. Attempts to force birth control on people have failed. "In India, for example, having children carries rewards," he ex- plained. "In the Indian village, life centers around the family, which provides virtually the only social security available." He emphasized that his sugges- tions are for a short-range pro- gram dealing with today's pressing needs in crowded areas Where large families are common. It will not solve the long-range problem of a general increase in the world population. Sees Future Growth There are three billion people in the world today, he pointed out. If the present rate of growth is 1.6 per cent per year continues, by the end of the century there would be 6.5 billion, and by the year 2460 three would be 2,450 million, or 100,000 per square mile for all the land area in the world. "The world population has in- creased six-fold since 1650. This population explosion is due to a sharp decrease in the death rate, which in turn was caused by the social, industrial and other revo- lutions in Western civilization which began about 1870." istic," Fred Kolflat, '60A&D, presi- dent of the Board, said. Kolflat said the main points were: 1) Cheating was unfortunate but not a reflection on the campus as a whole. 2) It was discouraging that so few people voted.. The new ID cards do not give the student's year, enabling stu- dents to vote who weren't juniors. This was in violation of the elec- tion rules and in the nature of the cheating, Kolflat said. Regents Plan To Examine Appropriations The University Regents will meet at 10 a.m. today in the Re- gents' Room of the Administra- tion Building. The appropriations report is scheduled for discussion at today's meeting. A report from the Board in Control of Intercollegiate Ath- letics is also on the agenda. A recommendation for institu- tional membership in the Inter- national Association of Univer- sities may also be considered. The Regents may also grant leaves of absence for the coming semester. information transmission, process- ing, storage and display." Radar Research Other projects include advanced experimental models of two major radar systems, work on electron- spin resistance and administration of the Infrared Information and Analysis Center, which is a clear- inghouse for infrared knowledge. Willow Run Laboratories also took part in the growing research preparing for space conquest. "The problems of space explora- tion brought the Laboratories into comprehensive study of naviga- tional techniques for interplane- tary space flight-the means of guiding a vehicle to its destination in the solar system so that it ar- rives at the proper point with the proper vector velocity," it is re- ported. Added to Defense Noting "earlier activities which played, an important part in the nation's air defense effort," the Annual Report points out: "In 1946, Project Wizard was initiated; it was aimed at defense against ballistic missiles. "This evolved, in 1950, into a collaborative effort with the Boe- ing Aircraft Company on the de- sign of the BOMARC missile sys- tem." These activities were fol- lowed by Project ADIS, directed toward an integrated system of air defense. PROF.

Three-Part System In order to understand the levels of agreement between the constit- uents' desires and the roll-call actions taken by congressmen un- der differing conditions, Prof. Miller suggested that the party system might be divided into three parts: Northern Democrats, South- ern Democrats and Northern Re- publicans. Prof. Miller said that among Northern Democrats who have RUSSIAN GRAMMAR: Computer Helps Solve Translation Dilemmas By MICHAEL BURNS A solution to the problem of analyzing grammar of Russian sen- tences by electronic computer was announced by Harvard University last week.

The computer system, which has been in the works for over seven years, marks a Smajor advance in the field of ma- MOLECULES: Quills Aid Research By MICHAEL OLINICK Current research into the quills of chicken feathers may result in a significant contribution to man's knowledge of the detailed struc- ture of the protein molecule. Basic research work in this field of biophysics is now being done by Prof. Samuel Krimm of the physics department through a grant from the Public Health Service. "The importance of the study," Prof. Krimm, director of the Biophysics Research Center, said, "lies in our belief that the physical structure -the three dimensional configura- tion-determines the behavior and functions of the molecule." Discoveries in this field may aid understanding of the body en- zymes. Enzymes, which are protein structures, act as catalysts in biological systems; they speed up or slow down chemical reactions without being changed themselves. Quill Work Krimm works with the quill of the feather, part of a general class of fibrous proteins which at pres- ent seem easier to analyze than the globular proteins. X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy are the two means Prof. Krimm uses to collect data about the protein molecules, "Since the quills are partly cry- stalline," Prof. Krimm explained, "they will diffract electro-mag- netic rays, in this case those of X-ray frequency." The diffractions are recorded as scatterings of light on a photo- graphic plate. Since the molecules have a periodic structure, the X- rays are diffracted into a charac- teristic pattern. By studying the various patterns that the mole- cules yield, Prof. Krimm attempts to discover the physical structure of the protein. "The gathering of data in this manner is a relatively simple ex- perimental process. Trying to de- duce what structure produces such diffractions and absorptions is altogether another matter." Eliminate Models Much work has been done elim- inating certain structures as can- didates for the makeup of a pro- tein molecule. These "models" are formulated and then tested by mathematical analysis on a computer or by optical diffrac- tions of a scaled-up model of the proposed molecule. Prof. Krimm is now testing a tentative model. "It seems better than any other previous ones tested, but we may not know for Walter Sees No Chance For Change Several Members From Both Parties Give Support to Plae WASHINGTON () -- President Dwight D. Eisenhower urged yes- terday that the United States fling wider its gates to immigrants and refugees, including Orientals, and drastically change the national origins basis for admission. Chairman Francis E. Walter (D- Pa.) of the House Immigration Subcommittee promptly declared Eisenhower's sweeping proposals have no chance. Walter suggested they were offered as a Republican vote-attracting maneuver in this Presidential election year. However, several Republicans-- and Democrats-stepped forward to support Eisenhower in this re- newal of a campaign the Presi- dent has waged, off and on, during the seven years he has been in the White House. Plan's Effect: As set forth in a special message to Congress, Eisenhower's Immi- gration plan would: 1) Double the over-all number of immigrants each year from the present 154,000 to 308,000. The an- nual total would be fixed at one- sixth of 1 per cent of the United States population. The total would be based on this country's 1960 census figures, rather than the 1920 census as now. 2) Abandon the long contro- versial concept of basing national immigration quotas on the racial and ethnic composition of the United States as of 1920, and sub- stitute a new base - the actual number accepted from each area, between 1924 and 1959. If adopted, this change would mean admission of many more Italians and nationals of other Southern Europeans which always have had more persons seeking to enter the United States than their quotas would allow. Reduce Migrants Conversely, the new approach would reduce migrants from Northern European nations and Britain, countries which custom- arily have not filled their quotas. 3) Unused quotas would be dis- tributed among nations with over- subscribed quotas. 1 4) Remove the current restric- tive limit of 2,000 on quotas with- in what is called the Asiatic-P- cific triangle. This would place countries like Japan on the same footing as other nations and erase a situation which has irked many Eastern peoples for decades. Admit Refugees 5) Permit admission of what Ei- senhower referred to as "many thousands of persons who are refu- gees without a country as a result of political upheavals and their flight from persecution." The President noted that this is World Refugee Year and that 69 nations have banded to seek permanent solutions for the prob- lems of peoples uprooted by po- litical, racial or religious persecu- tion, or national calamity. While offering his ideas, Eisen- hower invited Congress to draft legislation that would accomplish the same purposes, if in different ways. So long as they are con- structive, the President said, "I will be glad to approve them."

Previously, many computers had been set up to give the Eng- lish equivalent for any number of foreign languages fed into the machines, but never before had it been possible to receive the in- flected word and the grammatical information necessary for com- plete translation. Prof. Matejka, who was one of five people originally helping con- struct the translating program, worked on the project from June, 1957, until he was offered a posi- tion as assistant professorat the University last September. He said he was hesitant to work on the translating machine when offered the position.
