"The war has corrupted the it ideals of this country,’ he id. “With such expressions as idy count’ it has even cheap- ed our language. We have lost ir capacity to be surprised or andalized. "Moreover,” he said, “we have it our sense of outrage because have it made. To be given er to materialism and security id comfort is to become fat— id fatheaded. We have, I’m raid, become morally anesthe- icd. "It’s nothing new. Read Amos :turing the establishment of icient Israel, the fat cats. What eneed today are some prophets.” McGovern has not said it on e stump but he, too, believes at “an erosion of moral stand- ■ds 1 ’’ is a legacy of the war. “Loss of life, in a subtle sort way, has become a way of life,” a.nd 111. i’s Own rvice iity Bank TE he said in an interview aboard his campaign airplane. “As a result we seem to have built a moral cocoon around our hearts.” He believes with Fr. Hesburgh, though, that “there is a basic core of decency in the American people yearning to be tapped.” A White House source calls all of this patent nonsense. The reason the alleged scandals have not outraged the American people, he says, can be explained quite simply. “Take them one at a time. The Watergate caper? If there was anything going on there, I think the people regard it as the cus tomary political hanky-panky they have come to expect. “The ITT case ? If there had been anything to that, why would the Democrats have gone ahead and confirmed Attorney General Kleindienst—and after an eight- week investigation? “The grain thing? Again, there was no proven law violation, no direct connection with the Presi dent. Besides, the farm economy is in excellent shape. “Take all of that together as one reason, and then consider a second. McGovern is not just ask ing the people to dump Nixon, he’s asking them at the same time to elect McGovern. They won’t buy that alternative.” Perhaps, but Richard Nixon in 1952 felt compelled to bare his financial soul on national tele vision or suffer being bounced off the ticket because of an alle gation of impropriety involving $18,235—a drop in the slush buck et compared with the amounts mentioned today. “That was different. That af fected him personally. None of these charges claim that President Nixon has benefitted personally.” Another Republican, one who can speak from some experience about chosen issues falling on deaf ears—Alfred M. Landon of Kansas—has some theories. Alf Landon shares the White House aide’s belief that the chal lenger, McGovern, does not pre sent a compelling alternative, but he also feels the allegations, are just too complicated for the public to comprehend. “None of these scandals centers on one person—a Sherman Adams, or a Bobby Baker, or an Abe For- tas,” Landon said, reflecting on the front porch of his comfortable old home in Topeka. “Wrongdoing that is difficult to dramatize rare ly can become a political issue.” Landon, for one, does not agree, however, that the Watergate bug ging case should be passed off as a jape, a caper, a bit of political horseplay. “I personally find it outrage ous,” he said. “I want to see that matter cleaned to the bone. I think President Nixon, for his place in history, has got to get to the bottom of that Watergate inci dent.” Landon, at 85, will agree that perchance the nation at large does not share his sense of pro bity. He observes that revolution ary changes in recent years have brought many old assumptions, many traditional verities. “Our people have lost their familiar mooring posts,” he said wistfully. “They don’t know where to turn, whom to trust, whom to believe. “They open their newspapers and see indecision in the guise of so-called balance — Buckley played off aginst Wicker, one ‘informed person’ saying one thing, another saying the opposite. Is it any wonder they discount both? Life has become terribly confusing.” Bulletin Board Drs. Hoover, Melton Develop Arsenic Detection Method A method for detecting low lev els of arsenic in foods and other products has been developed at the Texas Agricultural Experi ment Station at A&M. Dr. William L. Hoover, State Chemist of Texas, and his col league, Dr. James R. Melton, de vised the system in their labora tories. Their technique involves gene rating arsine gas, evolved from the food product into the flame of an atomic absorption spectro photometer. The method is unique because it is capable of detecting arsenic at a level of 0.01 ppm without the need of special equip ment, gases or accessories. “Heavy metal pollution may be one of the more serious threats in the environment today,” Hoov er said, “and arsenic ranks along with mercury and lead as the toxic heavy metals that can contami nate the food we eat.” Hoover’s laboratory has just completed a study of arsenic con tent in marine species collected from the Gulf Coast to the Ba hamas. “Where the USDA tolerance for arsenic in chicken muscle tis- BATTALION CLASSIFIED WANT AD RATES « dty 5c per word 4c per word emch additional day Minimum charge—75c Classified Display S1.00 per column inch each insertion DEADLINE < p.m. day before publication WORK WANTED SPECIAL NOTICE GARAGE SALE.

Hoover pointed out that many of the specimens collected were from ocean areas too far from land to be the direct result of industrial or agricultural pollu tion. Hoover and Melton described the method during the annual meeting of the Association of Of ficial Analytical Chemists being held in Washington, D. C., re cently. The two scientists are credited with developing analytical meth ods for measuring other heavy metals in the environment. Their techniques for mercury, lead bo ron and molybdenum are used by chemists throughout the United • States.
