Beauty Contest. But the stop-Carter drive has made only a modest start. Says a Democratic official in California: "What difference does it make if the train is going 30 m.p.h. instead of 60 when it runs over you? The results are the same." Carter's new math is intimidating. Through last week he had won 13 of the 19 primaries he entered and nearly 5 million votes-about four times the totals of Udall or Jackson.

His concern was echoed last week by other scientists and officials who testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on the impact of world environment on foreign policy. Said Russell Train, director of the Environmental Protection Agency: "The stresses generated hi a hungry world will not stop at our borders. We are part of an interdependent world."
