Scientist Sees New Advances; Cites Steps Made Since 20's Editor's Note From Crystal sets to Mars shots, from "hopeless" infections to cancer vaccines this is the scientific revolution. Famed scientist Dr. Glenn Seaborg says it is only beginning, but to harness it, and live with it, man must learn to understand and control it.

Another in the occasional series, "Science in Our Lives." By Alton Blakeslee Associated Press Science Writer WASHINGTON (AP) Dr. Glenn T. Seaborg is a toweringly tall (6 feet 4) scientist who recalls well how things used to back in the 1920s when he was a teen-ager. Then was the time of crystalset radios. A few homes with those newfangled "electric iceboxes." Model A Fords along to doom the model T's Prohibition and purrping, "fluppers" and the Charleston.

Lindbergh trusting enough in a flying machine to drone across the Atlantic alone. Friends or relatives dying from pneumonia or blood poisoning and other infections. It was also a time when ideas and discoveries were coming from men's minds and research to seed what Dr. Seaborg calls the Scientific Revolution. That revolution began 10 blossom only 25 vears ago.

Teen-Agers Accept Wonders Today the teen-ager accepts as commonplace such wonders as television in virtually every home. Tiny transistorized radios. Jet air travel. Hi-fi music. Polio vaccines.

Antibiotics for when you're sick and soon well again. Wash-and-wear clothes. Astronauts zipping around the earth and taking aim on the moon. A-bombs and H-bombs and atomic power plants. Hair sprays and crabgrass sprays.

Nearly instantaneous photography. An astonishing listing of things and controls and abilities undreamed of a generation ago. And these are only some first fruits. "The Scientific Revolution is really only beginning," says Dr. Seaborg, Nobel laureate in chemistry, former chancellor of the University of California, now chairman of the United States Atomic Energy Commission.

In another 25 years, he speculates, teen-agers and adults may not quiver an eyebrow over having two-way wristwatch radios. Their own computers to aid their studies or to automatically translate foreign tongues into English. Vaccines against cancer. Dining on totally synthetic foods." Reading books from electronic libraries via closed-circuit television into their 1 living rooms. Flying to Europe in one or two hours or taking skiing holidays in Antarctica.

Wearing clothes of special material once or a few times and then throwing them away. Watching astronauts depart or return from Mars with nuclear-powered rockets. Being secure from hurricanes or tornadoes because scientists have learned how to prevent disastrous storms. Creates New Problems With all the good it is bringing, the breathless pace of the revolution IS creating new social, economic and political problems, Dr. Seaborg says.

Many adults feel lost, unable to understand. That feeling is not new. Even in the 1930s, there were proposals for a "moratorium on science" to allow time to digest and adapt to new discoveries and their implications. "But whether we like it or not, we can't stop this revolution." Dr. Seaborg believes.

"If we tried to slow it down, we would run into serious difficulty. "Our economy and standard of living would decline. So would our position in the world, and our ability to defend ourselves. "Other countries. including the new young nations, know they must become part of this scientific age also." In the field of education Dr.

Seaborg hopes for better general courses to give non-science Burch Expects Big Upset; Bailey Expects Landslide By Edmond Lebreton WASHINGTON (AP) Take your choice: Sen.

He said the theft occurred sometime in the past two weeks. The items belong to the Elwood Plumbing and Heating company. The $200 loss is insured. Two-Party System Goes On Trial Some businessmen, who stand to get government contracts reported "ratting" on Goldwater. A close election, regardless of outcome, would be best thing for 2-party system.

John Chamberlain gives an analysis In His Article On The Editorial Page Two-Party System Group Against Churches' Use Of Extra Grain CLEVELAND (AP) The American Council of Christian Churches called on the United States government Friday to discontinue the distribution of its surplus grain and other commodities through Church World service and other religious agencies. A resolution approved by delegates attending the council's twenty third annual autumn convention said reasons for calling for the discontinuance include: The church bodies are using the distribution of commodities to build their own religious institutions and to promote their own program of Christian unity and ecumenical development. Personnel employed by the church agencies "also are in various places the and defenders of their own particular dogmas." "If the U.S. government is to distribute its relief goods on a humanitarian basis it should be done separately from any established sectarian organization," the resolution added. "No U.S.

funds should be used to promote or establish any religious activities at home or abroad." Reds Back Sukarno's Hostile Policy MOSCOW (AP) The new Soviet regime backed Indonesian President Sukarno's hostile policy toward Malaysia Friday in its first policy statement on the Southeast Asian trouble spot. The government organ Izvestia echoed Sukarno's charges that Malaysia is a British plot to extend colonial rule, that it threatens Indonesia, and that it suppresses "national liberation movements" in Malaysian Borneo. The Izvestia article, under the headline "'Where Are The Bloodhound Rockets Aimed?" charged that British bases in Malaysia threatened Indonesia with nuclear weapons. The newspaper also accused the British of a steady military buildup in Malaysia aided by the U.S. 7th fleet and by Australia and New Zealand.

Izvestia mate no mention of the military aid former Premier Khrushchev promised Sukarno in a meeting in Moscow last month. But it denounced Malaysia in stronger terms than those used by Khrushchev.

"More and more, the ability to hold a regular job will call for some skilled knowledge, with decreasing opportunities for unskileld workers." In 25 to 30 years, atomic power plants likely will be supplying half of the nation's tremendous need for electrical energy, he predicts. "And I am optimistic that we shall ultimately solve the tricky problems of controlling the thermonuclear (H-bomb) reaction to produce electrical energy." That would mean an inexhaustible source of energy, using hydrogen atoms in the oceans.

CHICAGO (AP) President Johnson made public Friday night results of a survey which he said reflected "widespread compliance" with the new civil rights law. The President, in a statement issued during a campaign stop in Chicago, said: "What is more important, it shows the law is being obeyed in those areas where some had predicted there would be massive disobedience. "This year for the first time this desegregation was accomplished without violence, without injury and almost without notice." The report was submitted to Johnson by LeRoy Collins, director Community Relations Service set up under the civil rights law.

It covered a survey of 53 cities of more than 50,000 population in the 19 states which do not have their own public accommodations law. "This encouraging report," the President said, "indicates the confidence and trust in our citizens which led to the overwhelming majorities which supported the civil rights bill in both houses of the Congress and in both political parties."

Officials Claim Downing Of U.S. Plane Unjustified WASHINGTON (UPI) The United States Friday expressed "regrets" that three unarmed U. S.

transport planes "inadvertently" overflew Cambodian territory last weekend. But it said Cambodia was not justified in shooting one of them down with the loss of eight American lives. The South Vietnamese government issued a statement of its own on the incident.

Elderly Couple Injured In Accident Here An elderly Richmond couple was taken to Reid Memorial hospital Friday afternoon after a two-car accident at North West Second and streets.

In the hospital and listed in fairly good condition Saturday night, is Lillian Stein, 70 years old, 1037 South Eighth street. She was a passenger in an auto driven by her husband, Leo J. Stein, 70, who was treated and released at the hospital. Stein told police he was headed east on North West street and his foot slipped as he prepared to stop for North West Second. He said he hit the gas pedal and could not stop.

The Stein auto hit an auto driven by James Eric Williams, 49 years old, 131 North Washington street, New Paris, Ohio. Williams' auto was headed south on North West Second. Williams said he was unable to avoid the crash. Scientists believe Egyptians used iron from meteors to make tools and weapons about 9,000 years ago. "There is still considerable work to be done." But he said the exceptions "only serve to point up the basic fact that the general rule is compliance." In some sections, he said, the changes brought on by the civil rights law represent the "reversal of generations of customs in practice."

NATO Should Re-examine Structure, Norstad Says TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) The North Atlantic Treaty organization today is a group of 15 countries that are searching for a relationship on which to build a future as successfully as they have built the past, retired Gen. Lauris Norstad, former supreme allied commander in Europe, said Friday. Speaking before the Toledo Post, American Legion, Norstad said 1 that NATO should reexamine itself now in order to regroup and meet problems of the day-a different set of problems than existed when it was formed 1948. The single most disruptive factor in NATO to date, Norstad said, is the failure of the leading country, the United States, to answer the collective question from other alliance countries: who will control nuclear weapons? Atomic might has become more important politically than militarily, the retired general continued, and i is now a symbol of authority.

One solution would be for NATO to establish rules by which atomic weapons could be used, with all 15 countries participating jointly and equally in the formulation, Norstad said. He suggested that the alliance designate a small executive body for this purpose. It would include, he said, the three NATO members with atomic power -United States, United Kingdom, and France the republic of Germany, the latter because of its geographic position, and "one or two other countries." Decisions, Norstad said, would be made by majority rule. NATO has been successful in past endeavors, Norstad said. He has been convinced of this, he said, by the changes which have taken place in Europe.

Norstad currently is president of Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corp. in Toledo. Dog Practiced Psychology On Him, Burglar Complains To Policemen YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO, (AP) A 24-year-old man captured inside a service station at 910 Wilson avenue, early Friday told police a watchdog in the station "used psychology on me" and me there until the police came and found me." David L. Anderson, of Youngstown, was bound over to the Mahoning County Grand jury under $1,000 bond on charges of burglary and larceny. Police said they saw Anderson in the station during a routine check and that they found a side window broken and two gallons of antifreeze and four batteries outside.

Detectives said Anderson told them he broke two windows with a rock and crawled inside "and there was a "He growled at me and I started to talk to him and we were friends," Anderson said. Police said Anderson told Wives Bought NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) Government loans to African farmers in Kenya's Embu district have been used to buy wives rather than for intended land improvement, Parliament was told by the assistant minister of agriculture, Julius Osogo. Straight Line Pike bridge on the Straight Line DeBolt company is building ered as a land-fill leaving a from the county cumulative By Elias N. Antar BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) A few years ago the desert kingdom of Saudi Arabia was famous for two things: its rich fountains of oil and its freespending King Saud 1. The oil still gushes forth to the tune of over half a billion dollars a year.

King Saud is no longer heard from. The days when he bestowed solid gold watches on airline hostesses or rented entire hotels for his wives ended when he lost a power struggle last February to his half-brother Crown Prince Feisal, now ruling as regent. Saud lives as a virtual recluse in Riyadh, the capital. His activities are limited to going for drives in his limousine or playing with scores of grandchildren. The royal guard of 5,000 men has been withdrawn from his palace and absorbed into the army.

The king lacks even ceremonial functions. Feisal, 60, signs all royal decrees and is in effect absolute ruler. Saudi sources close to Feisal say he thinks that if Saud had remained in control for two more years, the Socialist tide in the Arab world would have engulfed Saudi Arabia. Austere Image Feisal has projected the image of an austere ruler whose entourage shies away at least in public from the high living that provoked scandals under Saud. Feisal's toughest long-range problem is to liberalize a tradition-bound nation and bring it into the modern world.

Feisal's programs include about $180 million earmarked for various projects in 1964, mainly in the communications, health and education fields. Roads are being built and harbors deepened. The goal is to build 100 new schools every year, though some of them are a single room. A university is planned for Jiddah, on the Red Sea. These seem to be welcomed by the average Saudi, long a accustomed to seeing most of the country's oil wealth squandered by the royal family.

But Feisal is caught between young princes who want even more immediate and sweeping changes, and religious and tribal leaders who think he is going too fast. The conservatives represent a powerful opposition. Plans Resisted Feisal's plans to build a television station, his willingness to permit the opening of the country's first movie theater and his condoning of female voices on the airwaves have met stiff resistance. Deputations of the religious leaders told the regent that television, female voices on the air, and movies are not mentioned in the Koran and therefore should not be allowed. Feisal's retort that the Koran does not ban television or movies hardly placated the irate leaders.

Saudi Arabia is one of the few Arab countries with no foreign debts and a balanced budget, but oil wealth has given Feisal some headaches. expects Goldwater to carry Texas, sweep the South, gain some Border states, key Midwest and Far West states and pull some surprises on the Eastern seaboard such as a possible win in New Jersey. Bailey said he stands on an earlier prediction that, "We may lose a maximum of three states." He named Mississippi and Alabama and refused to designate the other, sidestepping a question that would have pinpointed it as Louisiana. Bailey said he is informed the biggest percentage the popular vote won by a presidential candidate in recent history was about 61 per cent "and I think it is possible the President will do better than that."

(AP) Billy Graham, world famed evangelist, does not plan to endorse either candidate in next Tuesday's presidential race.

A source close to Graham, whose home is at Montreat, near here, said Friday night that while the evangelist "is not a fence sitter, and has very strong convictions, he will not endorse either candidate." "He feels," the spokesman said, "that his task is to preach the gospel. There are sinners on both sides who need to hear the gospel. To endorse one might close the ears of the other." While he will not endorse either candidate, the agreed that Graham is strongly conservative. St. Augustine Fort Oldest Of Masonry ST.
