Dr. Raymond Pearl, Johns Hopkins university's famous iologist, suggests that the lemming is not, after all, so very much different from modern man. | The lemming enjoys periodic spurts of prosperity. Boom :3¢:imes come, bringing an abundance of clover seeds, or bumble- iees, or whatever it is that lemmings feed on, and the number ‘mf lemmings increases tremendously. Then, just when every- i hing seems to be going fine, something gets into the heads of 5 hese tiny rodents and they all start traveling across country. “| They don’t seem to know where they are going or why they ° &, sere going there, but they leg it like good fellows—and by and by 1'ihey come to the ocean. It doesn’t stop them. In they go, to wn by the thousands, leaving only a few survivors back home fo rereat the whole process a few years later. 3 Now all this, says Dr. Pearl, is a striking and unflattering saraliel to the behavior of modern human beings. "About 800 years ago the human race suddenly started to Sncrease at an unprecedented rate. Altogether, it multiplied its 'saumbers by five during the three succeeding centuries. heir cross-country hikes. And if there is no all-engulfing ocean ahead of the human Hace; there is something just as effective—war. . Aenew war, Dr. Pear! tells the American Association for jhe Advancement of Science, would do to the human race just what the plunge into the ocean does for the lemmings. The orld War of 1914 was bad enough, and a World War of 1987 OF 1988 certainly would be a great deal worse. We hardly need a man of Dr. Pearl’s brilliance to tell us that human beings ought to be able to order their affaird a little more intelligently than do the rats of Norway. If the progress of the last three centuries has been nothing; more than a build-up for a painful experiment in mass suicide. *lthen modern progress is a sham and the race has learned no- Sthing worth knowing since the Stone Age. The present-day struggle to avert war is more than an ef- ‘ fort to prevent misery and loss, It is nothing less than a fight (3:60 save civilization itself. If it fails, the race will stand convicted of being no brighter than the northland lemmings, which climax years of prosperity iad joining hands and rushing down a steep place into the sea. Picture of Mr. Landon Americans found it virtually impossible to get a clear view f Alf, M. Landon during the last campaign. | The Republican candidate for president was variously presented as a citizen in whose person were confbined all of $3 the virtues or as a whited sepulchre who sought power only that he might perpetuate the iniquities of big business, Both views were, of course, entirely in error. ith a speck of fairness knew the Kansan was an excellent itizen, one with the courage of his convictions. Had he been jelected, the nation would have been safe in his hands. ‘ Perhaps it is possible to get a better understanding of Mr. ‘Landon now than it was then. His action in suggestion to enator Ashurat that adult labor should be protected “from gthe underpaid labor of children” certainly is illuminating. It roves that Mr. Landon recognizes the economic necessity of -}Agsocial progress, a thing which some of his enthusiastic backers ight have overlooked, Walk With Care A conference of experts called recently in a middlewestern ity to discuss ways and means of reducing the auto traffic toll that the motorist generally gets too much and the pe- Qdestrian too little, of the blame for this toll. Pedestrians do odd things, the experts pointed out. They cross streets against the traffic lights, they step blithely out from behind parked cars, they jaywalk in the middle of blocks, they step off the curb to the street beneath umbrellas that ‘9 ahroud their vision, The wonder is that more of them are not ‘a killed. Any traffic campaign must of course stress proper care by pedestrians. But it all seems to add up to just one more reason i! why the motorist should exercise additional watchfulness. After all, when a car and a pedestrian collide, it is the pedestrian, not the car, who gets bunged up.

That is to make well-known “murphy” do double duty. If it is too ex- msive to use freely under ordinary conditions something can saved by changing the manner of preparation. * When all else fails the potato can be boiled with its jacket The result is both economical and pleasing. The greatest of gourmets treat it with respect. And besides, one saves all the vitamins and it really is healthier. An authority predicts that in in this country.

It will have no provisions as to anti-trust law exemptions, price- fixing, or trade practices such as characterized the NRA. 3—Roosevelt is now willing to meet the U. S, Supreme Court issue head- on, The new wage-hour law, if passed by congress, will be the gage of battle. The administration will not participate in any movement to obtain a constitutional amendment or otherwise to curb the court's power pending a supreme court ruling on that measure. If the court should declare the law unconstitutional, Roosevelt — judging by the way he is now leaning—would summon the power of organized la- bor behind him and attempt to jam through a constitutional amendment with all possible speed. * ke * Aim at Major Industries The conferees agreed that it would be impractical to try to make an arbitrary wage-and-hour standard apply to all industries. They believe that it would be unwise at this time to attempt federal regulation of wages and hours in small towns, lo- cal industries, and the service trades, after the manner of ill-fated NRA. But the steel, automobile, coal, tex- tile and other major industries will be regulated if the administration has its way. Any legislation passed with ad ministration approval will alm at ing a condition under which “s\ shops” frequently leap across s' Unes to obtain cheaper labor. Roosevelt has in mind a federal agency governing wages and hours which would be modeled along the lines of the New York state minimum wage board. The law under which that board operates (applying only to women and children) has been de- clared invalid by a 5 to 4 U. 8, Su- preme Court decision and the rea- soning of the court in various cases has indicated that, barring a change of attitude, any. federal legislation of similar type would also be declared unconstitutional, another decade it will be hard to find | tion. — Gov. Nevertheless, it has been pointed out that in the last 20 years 10 jus- tices have voted for minimum wage legislation and only seven against, the seeming paradox being due to the fact that liberal justices have come and gone faster than conservatives on the court. ene Congress to Redefine Trade A redefinition by congress of “com- merce among the states,” as referred to by the constitution, is part of the plan. Under narrow court interpre- tations commerce comes to include little more than railroads with tracks running across state lines and pro- duction is as “local.” The procedure of definition would be similar to that under which con- gress, with “intoxicating liquors” banned in the constitution, for legis- lative purposes defined “intoxicating liquors” to be anything with more than half of 1- per cent alcohol—a Gefinition accepted by the court. On definition which is being or hen be seriously considered reads as a among the several states, under Section 8, Article I, of the Constitution of the United States, is hereby defined to apply to and in- clude every transaction relating to the production (including, but with- out Umitation, SEEDS, eee: jure, or mining), processing, re! . transportation, and distribution of any commodity or merchandise of any kind, use of which is not limited to the state in which it is produced, or use of which occurs in more than one state, whether or not such tran- saction takes place within one or sev- eral states.’ (Copyright, 1987, NEA Service, Inc.) | SOTHEY SAY [ —————— ‘The majority of New Yorkers are without the society of a vil- lage.—Prof, Joseph K.
