HAVING 'DEVILISH TIME':
Annual Smog Plagues Los Angeles

DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN

By ELISSA PANUSH
The "City of the Angels" is hav-
ing a devilish time.
The irritating combination of
smoke and fumes, from oil refin-
eries, 2 million incinerators and
1.5 million cars reaches its peak
in the Los Angeles area every fall.
Gaseous fumes are squeezed be-
tween San Gabriel mountains and
the sea, trapped by a layer of
warm air. Los Angeles is plagued
annually by its own unique brand
of smog.
Smog is only a combination of
smoke and fog. It is a dingy dis-
couraging weather condition which
occurs when fine solid particles
f matter provide nuclei for mois-
ture drops. Smog need not be a
blight but all Los Angeles smog
contains noxious gaseous irritants.
May Be Harmful
Smoke and fog are irritating
and oppressive in an uncombined
form but together they may be
harmful. In Donora, Pennsylvan-
ia, 20 people lost their lives in Oct.,
1948, when a sudden meteriolo-
gical situation exposed the town
to an unusually smoggy atmos-
phere.
A similar, lifetaking disaster
struck the Muese valley in Belgium
in December of 1930. These tra-
gedies have not as yet been dupli-
cated in Los Angeles.
A schoolchild was temporarily
blinded by smog and a husband
blamed his wifes attempted sui-
cide on it, but the majority of Los
Angeles residents only feel the dis-
comforts of continuous coughing
and crying.
Changed Smog Policy
City fathers have been forced
to change smog policy from words
to action.
At the University of Southern
California's school of medicine, a
controlled experiment is being con-
ducted to determine what the re-
lation of lung cancer to smog is.

ed in a giant converted icebox.

ARCHITECTURE AUDITORIUM

By GAIL GOLDSTEIN
If he had it to do over again, "I
would not try to become a scien-
tist, scholar, or teacher," Albert
Einstein said in a letter published
in this week's issue of Reporter
magazine.
Einstein had been asked for his
comment on a recent Reporter ar-
ticle relating to the present situa-
tion of American scientists.
Another Occupation
"I would rather choose to be a
plumber or a peddler," he com-
mented, "hoping to find that mo-
dest degree of independence still
available under present circum-
stances."
The world-famed physicist has
expresed this attitude in bicterly
opposing congressional inquiries
into the political beliefs of scien-
tists and educators. He recently
urged "intellectuals" called before
Shop Teachers
Confer Today
Prof. Ralph C. Wenrich and
Prof. Robert Hutchcroft of the
School of Education's vocational
education department are attend-
ing the 41st annual meeting of the
Industrial Arts conference which
opens today in Chicago.
Sponsored by the Mississippi
Valley Industrial Arts Association,
the conference is held to discuss
problems in industrial education
and is composed of teacher-train-

congressional probers to refuse to
testify on their political leanings.
University scientists and educa-
tors seem to oppose Einstein's
opinions on this subject. Prof. Ed-
win N. Goddard, head of the geol-
ogy department commented, "I do
not feel that my freedom has been
curtailed. As a member of the Uni-
versity faculty, I naturally realize
that my responsibilities will cut
down on my available time for re-
search, but that is to be expected.
"No one should worry about in-
quiry into his political beliefs as
long as he has done nothing which
may question his loyalty," he said.
Removed from Practical Problems
"Dr. Einstein is an idealist rath-
er removed from some of our more
practical problems," said Prof. Er-
nest F. Barker head of the physics
department.
I would agree that scientists
have been subjected to more than
their share of criticism on this
problem, but activities they are en-
gaged in are above average in im-
portancetothis country's welfare.
"I certainly couldn't have enter-
ed any other profession that would
have made me happier," the phy-
sics professor noted.
Holding no sympathy for people
who feel hurt when they are called
before an investigating committee,
Prof. Adam A. Christman, of the
biological chemistry department,
also felt there would be no grati-
fication in any other profession
for him.
In reference to the scientist's
position today, Prof. Dugald E. S.
Brown, head of the zoology de-
partment, said "the American sci-
entist is in no different situation
today than he has always been. I
think he's holding his own."
