I 1n End Feud Over Flag In Berlin BERLIN (M) - Faced with the possibility of retaliation from the West, East Germany backed down yesterday on Berlin's explosive flag. issue,, The sofficial Communist Party organ "Neues Deutschland" an- nounced that party followers will make no attempt to hoist East Germany's new national flag over Allied-occupiedi West Berlin this weekend. The paper said East Germany does not wish to pro- voke a civil war because of the new flags. Earlier this week, the Western Allies - France, Britain and the United States - warned the Rus- sians against allowing the East Germans to raise their new flag above western territory again. The Russians were told that western troops would march, if necessary, to preserve law and order in West Berlin. Flew Flags The East Germans flew the flags above West Berlin's elevated rail- way stations last month and so provoked a battle between Com- munist railwiay workers and West Berlin police who tried to tear down the flags. Five policemen were injured. The Allies feared the Commu- nists might tryto raise the flags over the stations Saturday, the 42nd anniversary of the Bolshe- vik Revolution. Law Requires East German law requires that the national flag be hoisted above all public biildings during the an-' niversary. The East Germans, who have operative control of Berlin's entire railway system, regard the elevated stations as their proper- ty. The Allies acknowledge Com- munist control, but insist that Communist flags stay in the East. anyway. \ -kssociated Press Wirephoto DRIVE BACK PANAMANIANS-Helmeted United States troops drive back Panamanian demonstrators from the United States Canal Zone yesterday.

Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) an- nounced yesterday he plans to ask Congress to vote the President strong new powers to halt strikes threatening national emergencies. "We can no longer afford the luxury of prolonged disputes such as thatynow confronting the steel industry," Morse said. Morse made his announcement as the nation awaited the Supreme Court's decision on a steelworkers , union appeal from a back-to-work: order issued by a lower court. Action Not Forecast For a third straight day, the court had the case under study but gave no hint as to when it will act. Meanwhile, the order remains suspended. It would send 500,000 strikers back to the mills at least for 80 days. With the strike 114 days old, negotiations were at a standstill, and none were. planned for the immediate future. Morse proposed a bill that would provide two alternative procedures for ending emergency -causing, strikes and lockouts. President Names Board Under one method, the Presi- dent could name an emergency board that would hold hearings, make findings and issue an order deciding the dispute. The other procedure would al- low the President to seize and operate closed plants, subject to a Congressional veto of his order within 10 days. The Taft-Hartley Law - under which the contested back-to-work order was issued in the steel dis- pute--does xnot go as far as Morse proposes. It permits the President to set up a fact finding board, then to seek a- court order requiring the strikers to return to their jobs for 80 days while ways are sought to settle the controversy. Free To Strike But after the 80-day enforced truce expires, the strikers are free to walk out again and the gov- ernment is powerless to stop them. ; Both President Eisenhower and Secretary of Labor James P. Mit- chell are on record as opposed to compulsion in settling labor dis- putes, but both have demonstrated dissatisfaction with the Taft-Hart- ley Law as a means of ending serious strikes. WASHINGTON (R) - New evi- 'dence of possible plant life on Mars was reported yesterday by one of the nation's top astron- omers. Dr. William M. Sinton of Lowell Observatory, Flagstaff, Ariz., said he has evidence suggesting the possible existence of plants great- ly different from those on earth and perhaps superior in yields, edible or otherwise. He discussed his research in the technical journal "Science." Sinton said his evidence of vegetation - admittedly indirect and tentative-suggests that much of Mars is covered with plant life, notably the large, triangular- shaped area known as Syrtis Ma- jor, or "The Great Bog." That's one of the areas on Mars believed by the ancients to be bodies of water--seas, lakes, bogs, canals and the like. It's now' known that Mars has no appre- ciable amounts of water. Sinton said his new findings+ Daily Second Front Page OCTOBER 31, 1959 Page 3 Page Discovers New Evidence For Plant Life on Mars' were made in October 1958, dur- ing the close approach of Mars to the earth. They represent, he said, a de- tailed followup - with greatly im- proved detection instruments-on a slim clue he got while studying the planet during its 1956 ap- proach. Sinton noted that scientists have long speculated on the pres- ence of Martian vegetation, be- cause of seasonal variations on the planet. But he described his work as a new attempt to get more direct evidence by analyzing sunlight re- flected by the planet, Scientists do this by using a telescope - attached instrument known as a spectroscope. Sinton, working with the 200- inch "big eye" telescope of the Mt. Wilson and Palomar Observa- tories in California, analyzed the region of the Martian spectrum containing intra-red light. PANAMA (P) -- Regular Canal Zone police were ordered yester- day to resume control of the bor- der separating the Panama Canal Zone from Panamanian territory. The move was interpreted as a sign that anti-American tension was easing, but frictionstill re- mained. United States troops took over the border control duty after an. outburst of violence Tuesdiay and it was not_ immediately known whether the order to police meant the troops would be withdrawn. Panama was still off limits to, the military and civilian popula- tion of the Canal Zone and the n United States embassy advised American residents of Panama City to stay out of downtown areas and other congested districts. United States Armyheadquar- ters said a few scattered incidents of rock throwing took place along the border. They said small groups of per- sons gathered on the Panamanian side of the line but no clashes oc- curred. American authorities refused de-. liveries of foodstuffs processed in Panama for consumption in the Canal Zone. Some Panamanians saw the ac- tion as a reprisal for the anti- United States demonstrations. Canal Zone officials said, how- ever, it was because the off-limits orders made it impossible for American inspectors to be present at the supply sources to check de- liveries. Panama's official position on Tuesday's trouble was that Amer- ican authorities made too much of a display of force to halt demonstrators attempting to carry the Panamanian flag into the Canal Zone. TO A BETTER WORLD: Geneticist Suggests Artificial Insemination for Future By ROBERT GOLDSTEIN Associated Press Science Writer CHICAGO-Picture a world of to- morrow in which most of the in- habitants are as brilliant as Albert Einstein; and as wise and compas- sionate as Abraham Lincoln. Then peer far beyond that to a distant era in which humanity has forged, as far ahead of present-day man iintelligence and under- standing as we now lead the apes. Is. this the biological wave of the future, the evolutionary Utopia toward which we are heading? Not unless we give evolution a genetic assist that is in our power, says H. J. Muller, Nobel Prize- winning geneticist at Indiana Uni- versity. - Positive Steps Needed Muller believes that man is run- ning the world today only because of fabulous luck. He is alive and present, in Muller's view, only be- cause his string of ancestors, run- ning back to the beginning of life on this planet, was able to win out in competition with other organ- isms. Muller thinks man can improve his chances of long-range survival and make the world a better home if he takes positive steps geneti- cally to upgrade each human gen- eration. The scientist, has prepared a 16,000-word study listing several ways the trial-and-error progress of normal evolution could be speeded up in a desirable direction. His suggestions will be presented; to an international celebration at the University of Chicago in No- vember marking the 100th anni- versary of Darwin's theory f evo- lution. Two Methods Proposed. The fastest and most direct: method of genetically improving *future generations; Muller believes, is through artificial insemination. A less selective way of improving future generations, he" says, would. be for ,eouples with superior in- telligence to raise more children than they could possibly bring up and then give them out for adop- tion. 'Those consenting to do this would truly be socially minded," he says. For genetic artificial insemina- tion, the donor of male germ cells would be selected on the basis of outstanding. mental ability and other superior qualities that could be passed on to hi children through his genes. Germ Cells Frozen Genes are the hereditary cell units transmitted from generation to generation: They influence in- telligence, personality, growth, color of eyes and hair and' many other factors that make up the individual. The germ cells,laccumulated over a long period, would be preserved by deep freeze until at least 20 years after the man's death. Dur-, ing this probationary period, his merits and shortcomings could be evaluated unemotionally. However, a limited amount of progeny testing could be carried out during this period to provide a sounder estimate of the donor's genetic value to hfs -offspring. If it were shown his superior en- dowment could be passed on, the germ supply on hand could be ap- portioned among numerous recipi- ents. Public Attitudes Liberalized Muller says the means already is known to produce the multiple release of mature eggs in women. With a little more research, hg says, a technique could be devised for flushing them from the repro- ductive tract and implanting them in any selected female host. if powerful selective results were desired, he. says, the eggs from a woman of excellent genetic endow-' ment could be fertilized with germ material from a superior male. Muller says public attitudes on reproduction have become greatly liberalized since Victorian days., But, he contends, almost no con- cern has been shown for the type' of native endowment that would be valuable to the children them- selves. Further Break Necessary A further break with tradition would be necessary before any such program could meet accept- ance, he says. "When one considers how much the world owes to single individ- uals of the order of capability of an Einstein, Pasteur, Descartes or Lincoln it becomes evident how vastly society would be enriched if they were to be manifold," he says. "Moreover, those who repeatedly proved their worth would surely be called upon to reappear age. after age, until the population in. general had caught up with them. No Intelligence Limit "Later generations will look with amazement at the pitifully small amount of research now being carried on to open up such possi- bilities, even though they have for years been realized by specialists to lie just around the corner." Muller says there are no indi- cations man is approaching any limit of capacity for greater in- telligence. But he adds it is too early now to draw any blueprints envisioning what superior-minded people of a future generation might accomplish. "The immediate job, then, for those of us who see this situation now is to start at getting this genetic operation bootstrap incor- porated into our mores, by precept and, where feasible, by example," he says. WASHINGTON OP) - The Na- tional Broadcasting Co. revealed yesterday it has uncovered a money "kickback" system on one of its quiz shows and is turning the evidence over to the New York district attorney. The disclosure came from NBC President Robert E. Kintner with the suggestion that Congress make TV quiz show rigging a fed- eral crime. As a witness before a House sub- committee investigating television practices, Kintner did not imme- diately- explain how the "kick- back" system worked. The subcommittee has heard ,testimony that some show winners have paid back part of teir win- nings to persons with some con- nection with the shows. Of the alleged kickback discov- ery, Kintner said NBC is con- vinced it is "a violation of New York state law." He said the practice has been halted. Kintner did not name the show involved, but said it involved show officials and contestants in warmup sessions before the show went on the air. Kintner also said NBC recent- ly uncovered another quqtionable practice which he said involved controlled questions. It occurred on another show which he said had been purchased from "an outside packager." Kintner said the practice has "not gone on for a year." The pro- ducer himself halted it, but NBC discovered it only lately, he tes- tified. "We feel we are not naive," he stated. "We feel we have been taken by a small, group of people. Kintner called on Congress to make it a penal offense to fix quiz programs. 0 I B'NAI B'RITH HILLEL FOUNDATION 1429 Hill St. 11 OPEN HOUSE for ORCH ESTRAS by BUD-MOR featuring i ,I "- ,.
