You are greatly.needed by the Infinite. How manifest are thy works, in wisdom hast thon made them all. Psalm 104:24. POW Brainwashing mm Mr. Wizard is so popular with TV-watching adults: He makes the program understandable to his youngest juvenile audience.

Don Herbert, who stages the science show, is a great believer In simplicity. So he makes it interesting by using commonplace Objects and explanations as down-to-earth as he can make them. He's found that elders like the same approach. But essentially his audience is the kids, the bulk of them boys. He helps this along by having young Bruce ode well, as Buzz, Join In the experiments, as does Susan Levin, playing Betsy.

Herbert has just observed the third anniversary of his weekly show on NBC-TV. He started with 12 stations, but now has 81. The program originates from Chicago. Altogether he hps televised some 2,000 experiments on a hundred or more subjects. He has used such items as a water drop" microscope that enlarged a human hair until it looked like a rope a homemade light bulb that really worked, and a mlniative volcano which erupted on signal.

nave watched his program many times and have marveled at the simple ah4 informative way he has of approaching a subject. Hangover Seems Incurable Despite Exhaustive Research THE other evening we finally got around to reading the March 6 edition of the Saturday Evening Post, and an article written by William Ulman entitled, "The GIs Who Fell for the Reds." Mr. Ulman gives some blunt, first-hand answers to questions like: Why did 21 Korean GIs forsake their country for Communism? Why were others so seduced by "brainwashing" In POW camps that they betrayed their buddies, "confessed" erm warfare and came home still eager to be tools of the Reds? This author travelled some 6,000 miles in 20 states and talked to scores of soldiers as well as Pentagon brass, and here are four of his basic conclusions: 1. Few of the sell-outs really knew why they were fighting or, equally important, what Communism is either in theory or practice. 2.

All of them felt they had been inadequately trained for both physical and psychological combat with the Reds. 3. Most of them believed America's cause was hurt by weepy wives and mothers who pleaded for peace at any price. 4. The Reds succeeded in wooing some.

GIs by adroit exploitation of vanity and self-indulgence on the one hand, and fear end hunger on the other. Ulman discovered what many long suspected that many of the sell-outs were semi-Reds, lamebrains. Jerks or weaklings to begin with. That was particularly true of a guy called Slick, reputedly one of the worst betrayers. Ulman found him to be a thin scrawny runt with mousy hair, a pinched face and dull eyes.

One of the anti-Red GIs who had been In Slick's camp described him like this: "That punk?" He was the butt of all scuttle. He should have been. With him, brains Is missing." A tough, anti-Red South Carolinian. Sgt. Lloyd Pate put the blame partly on the soft "new" Army.

He said: "You know what ruined it? Made us suckers for a Commie Punch? That Doolittle board, who wanted to make everything dandy for the poor private. That's what did It. These spoiled and pampered kids and there were lots of them, believe me died like lice in prison camps. Too much Mamma." Some of those who sold out were the illiterate and poorly educated. This emphasizes the vita) need to drive home to all GIs In the simplest, most understandable terms what makes America good and Russia bad.

If they don't know that, how can they be taught why they must fight? MaJ. Gen. William Dean said: "I believe that we must present a factual world better than the Communist dream: that we must have political answers simple enough for the dullest to understand: that we must, each of us, know and understand the things for which we fight." If we don't learn the lesson, the price Will be infinitely higher next time. remedy during the period when he made Yale famous?

ASHIHfiTON MARCH OF EVENTS 1 1 The Hoosier Day has carried stor les digesting the law and Supreme Court decisions pertaining to the hew East to West toll road a- cross northern Indiana. This column Is happy to present the story of the Indiana toll road as Albert J.

Wedeking. director of the toll road, sees it. Director Wedekinv said the toll road is the largest business venture in the history of Indiana costing szso million dollars. It will affect in some manner every person in the state. The toll rond will extend 156.1 miles across tho northern portion of Indiana, connecting the west end of the new Ohio turnpike at the Ohio state line, to the Illinois road at the Illinois state line.

The new toll road will divert large volumes of traffic from the present overloaded state high wav svst.pm at no cost to the taxpayer who does not use the road. It will relieve congest! on several existing roads and be national security asset. The road will produce revenue to aid our schools and increase the rev enue of the state by increased gasoline Elections.

The money will be distributed to the highway department and to- Indiana cities and towns. In addition to providing a maximum of safety and comfort to the motorist and motor traffic, the nw toll road in 1 full length trip Will save one hour 20 minutes for passenger cars end slightly more time for commercial vehicles over the newest competitive route. The new toll road will promote agriculture and industrial development in Indiana. Many factors entered Into select'on of the route, such as all possible competing free facilities, density of traffic, and potential traffic with relation to the area traversed. The planning included ways to collect tolls in en orderly and ex pedient manner, an integrated com municatlon system for the road to function day and night and under all weather conditions, service areas to provide food and nonalcoholic beverages for 'motorists and also service areas for servic ing vehicles that use the highway.

Construction of the road requires 473 adjustments to public utilities, electric power, transmission lin es, water, other utilities. Acquisition of rights of way, ease ments and other interests in real property will involve negotiations in connection with 2.825 parcels of land at an estimated cost of PreULiinary expenses have been estimated at $600,000, construction at S176.J40.0O0, utility adjustments, $3,960,000. engineering $16,209,00, administrative and legal expenses 2.200.000 maintenance, office e-ouipment and initial supplies, and contingencies 000. Maintenance ol the road bavd on estimates for the fifth year of operation, tnciucung operating ex penses, will be $2,056,000 a year, surance $90,000 a year and re placements $250,000 annually. By way of comparison, the toll road will cost more for its original outlay thsn the entire cost of construe ting and maintaining all of the streets Unci highways in Indiana for the last three years.

It is estimated the average annual gross revenue from tolls fend from concessions, to serve the needs of motorists, will be apptvx-Imstel millkm over a tl jretfr period From the traffic analysis it has been determlneu that as of 1956-1957. a total of -1781 vehicles, consisting of. 12571 passenger ears and commercial vehicles will use the road daily. It Js estimated that the average trip 6n the toll road will be 113 miles In length.

Toll rates recommended for use for a full one way trip Includes only $1.95 for passenger cars $6.05 for buses, and a range from $1-85 to $10.55 for trucks, depending upon their size. The gross revenue I lor the toH road lor the first 121 tnonth period of operation is expect Sd to be approximately $16,300,000 'nile the average for the first 10 years has been estimated at $22r 800,000 annually.

All three face a major test at Geneva's conference -on peace In Korea and Indochina.

More than peace in either place is involved. The Communists could consider the whole conference suc cessful If they split the United States and France or, through propaganda, diminished this coun try's stature a little. Since last summer there has been a truce in Korea but no peace. And in the eight-year-old war between the French and the Communist-led Vietmlnh in Indo china there Is no sign of either truce or peace Peace in Korea seems impos sible. The United States wants Ko rea united in free elections which the South Korean government, a.i American any, would be sure to win if only because the South Koreans outnumber the North Ko reans.

It's hard to see the Com munists buying that. Somehow, nerhaos. they might be willing to stop helping the Viet-I minh against the French, which would mean i French victory. Even that sounds like wishful thinking. But If they did.

William Holden, in Earned Vacation By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD iff) Today William Holden and bis wife depart on a vacation he richly deserves. Oscar in hand, he stands at the top of his career.

Bill and the missus (Brenda Marshall) are leaving for Biminiii Island, off the coast of Florida. Then they will head to New York to see the shows and have a ball. "I'm not coming back until I get the cobwebs out of my mind," says Bill. He is taking a breather after one of the most Impressive strings of starring vehicles within memory. So many top films hive been offered him that he has worked almost constantly for 18 months.

I His string Includes: "The Moon Is Blue," ''Forever Female," "Stalag 17," "Escape from Fort Bravo," "Executive Suite," "Sabrina Fair" (with Oscar winners Audrey Hepburn and Humpnrey Bogart), "The Bridges at and the film he finished last veek, "Country Girl." How does he get such good pic tures? For one thins, he Is one of the screen's most versatile actors. He is also a smart cookie. "Tee studio wanted to put me in a couple of pictures I didn't like." he says "So told the bosses to loan me out to other studios. I told them they could keep whatever profit was made of my services." This maneuver made him available for a wider variety of roles. Bill makes no bones about being proud of his Oscar.

He even slept with it on Academy Awards night; He fell asleep in his living room chair, still dressed in his tuxedo and clutching the. statuette.

But that is like egging on a bird dog to snipp for quail in subway. The only thing be can get Is practice. There are two reasons why they will never find a real medidal cure for a hangover. First, they started too late.

They don't have the material to work on. The 24-karat genuine, double-throb vibrating hangover is a thing of the past. It went out with pro hibition. Second, it is against nature that there should toe any ure for a hangover except time and Uie acceptance of common sense; Pleasure pursued too far must always be followed by pain, the penalty for foolishness. This is the iron law of living that stupidity must pay its price.

Scientists are still puzzled over what a hangover really is. They seek a physical explanation to de-l scribe rebellion of the soul. i Scienoe would be better to' look i for a magic capsule to prevent stupidity rather than seek for a pill to cure hangovers. The hangover is alarm clock of the conscience and the body, and anyone who finds way. ta turn off that arm cjock is no.

The high tribunal did no approve or disapprove the law Itself, but acknowledged, the right of Congress to dispose as it sees fit of lands in the public domain.

In this year's congressional election campaigns, many Democrats can be expected to hammer hard on the "Tldelands giveaway" theme and to pledge themselves to a fight for repeal of the law enacted by the GOP Congress in fulfillment of a Republican pledge.

UNITED STATES "SPUES" Moscow charges that four American military toien on the United 8tates embassy staff have engaged in espionage have touched off no feeling of alarm in Washington.

American officials note that the charges were Sired in a Moscow tirade union newspaper, fry4, which has only semi-official status. The allegations therefore do not, this point, represent an official Kremlin blast. The Incident is fegarded as another old-var sklrmlshv-which probably can be brushed off. flowever, in the event it proves more serious than anticipated, the United States is ready to tack the four Americans to the hilt.
