It stands to reason that armed

Books have been written on re-

clusion to say that the time for
compromise is before violence and
terrorism have started, not while
they are in fill l-wing.
The quality of compromise be-
comes an evil when it borders on
expediency. This is one angle that
the free nations must bear in mind
if they are to remain free. The
spectacle of tumbling regimes is
not merely unpleasant . . it has
the effect of encouraging sedition
in various areas. A government's
first duty is to govern and any
weakness in performing its func-
tion amounts to partial abdica-
tion.
It would not flo at all to have the

Johns Hopkins Professor Says Man
Has Gained Little In Brain Power
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
Maybe we we're not so smart af-
ter all, at. least according to the
case built up by professor William
Albright, a teacher of Semitic lan-
guages at Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity in Baltimore.
Despite the marvels of the atom-
ic age. professor Albright says,
modern man is not much more in-
telligent than his prehistoric ances-
tors. This forthright pronounce-
ment in a speech in Toronto, Can-
ada is enough to deflate all of us
who pride ourselves on the prog-
ress of civilization .
According to the argument put
forth by Professor Albright, there
has been no change in human apti-
tudes 'or centuries. Furthermore,
he says there has been little change
in brain power or appreciable dif-
ference in intelligence.
Professor Albright concedes that
we have harnessed the atom and
hope to send projectiles to the
moon Nevertheless, he argues, we
still don't stack up too well in com-
parison with other forbears of pre-
historic times. To back this up. he
points out that archeological dis-
coveries show that man's inventive
genius ran be traced back to the
dawn of history.
Professor Albright gave some ex-
amples to prove his point. He said
cave art of high order dates back
about 15,000 years, cities, village;
and fortified towns of advanced cid-
ture have been found in the Middle
East, many of them dating back to
5,000 years before Christ. And Ian
guages going back 50,000 years
were more complex and more dif-
ficult to learn than the tongues of
today.
The scholar also explained that
techniques we regard as modern
accomplishments in some cases
were developed centuries ago then
were lost as the ancient civiliza-
tions fell apart. It took many years
before a German chemist solved
the mystery of how the ancient
Greeks made attic glaze. And ii"
one yet has discovered how (he
Egyptians cut tough Basalt rock
without using steel saws. And no
one knows the Phoenicians' secret
of smelting copper.
Babylonian priests as far back as
1,800 B. C. reckoned the motion of
the planet Mercury and determined
the rotation time of the moon.
No one Ijnows exactly how they did
it. but their reckoning time for
the rotation of the moon was within
ticians in areas of discontent but
maybe the people also are respon-
sible. The majority must assert it-
self any time it is threatened by
the minority. The desire to avoid
occasional tests is human, but it
also casts a reflection on the char-
acter of a nation. Freedom is an
active faith . . Not an immutable
law Those who believe in it must
be ready to make the necessary
sacrifices all the time.
4 seconds of the figure fixed by the
most modern technical methods. All
that is known is that the priests us-
ed an instrument which was the
fore runner of the present-day
slide rule. The Babylonians also
were pioneers in medicine and de-
veloped state-supported medical
schools.
Tin in the form of a copper al-
loy was known as early as 1,600 B.
C in Egypt, and brass or bronze
was used by the early Romans in
making musical instruments, orna-
ments and household utensils.
In this country, a visit to Philipse
Castle at Tarrytown, New York,
would be illuminating. The castle
was self-sufficient in pre-revolu-
tionary times, having everything it
needed, even to a cobblers' shop
for making shoes. Its kitchen gad-
gets are there today, not as pretty
or powered with electricity, but bas-
ically the same as those the modern
housewife uses.
All of which suggests that mod-
ern man might well spend more
time studying the achievements of
his ancestors and less time con-
gratulating himself on his current
accomplishments. And. as profess-
or Albright puts it, maybe we're
not so smart after all.
De Gaulle Turns
To Algeria For
Peace In France
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
Armed with all the legislative
power he asked, French Premier
Charles De Gaulle has turned his
attention to the Algerian question,
lie has summoned GeneralRaoiil
Salan, the French troop command-
er. from Algiers for consultation,
and De Gaulle also has called in
Robert Lacoste, the resident min-
ister in Algeria. De Gaulle planned
to go to Algeria himself today. The
French Senate finished legislative
action Tuesday morning on bills
granting De Gaulle sweeping pow-
ers. and the national assembly then
adjourned until fall.
General Salan has been ruling Al-
j geria openly in the name of the
j rebellious French there. The arm.v-
j dominated ruling Algeria professed
• to be in the dark about Salan's
trip and even about De Gaulle's
i visit.
Shortly after the French Senate
approved De Gaulle's sweeping pro-
! gram, the national assembly voted
by unanimous consent to adjourn
I until October 7. This will allow De
i Gaulle to rule unimpeded by par-
liament

The Algerian Junta hailed De
Gaulle's return to power as a great
victory for the rebellion. But the
appearance of old political faces
in his cabinet has caused wide-
spread discontent among some of
the extremists.
A traveller returning from Corsi-
ca. which also was seized by pro-
Gaullist insurgents, said there also
is disappointment on the Mediter-
ranean island. 'He said the Reb-
els were regretted that Gautlist po-
litican Jacques Soustelle was not

ments in France. But its press quot-

ficials are watching De Gaulle with
mixed feelings of hope and fear.
