NEXT SKY FLIGHT
REGARDED EASIER
Capt. Stevens Says Hop
Solved Living Conditions
in Stratosphere.

The Inflated flight of the National
Geographic Society Army Air Corps
stratoSphere balloon, Explorer, al
though falling short of its goal, solved
the problem of living and working
efficiently in the stratosphere and
pointed the way to successful flights
in the future, Capt. Albert w.
Stevens, one of the three members
OF the balloon crew, declared in a
radio address broadcast from Wash
ington over a National Broadcasting
Co. network last night.
THE trip" he said, twas far from
being a total loss, because we have
learned many things from this trip
that lead us to believe that we can
make another such ascent with GER
tainty and that it will be carried
to a successful conclusion"
Capt. Stevens expressed the belief
that another balloon can be built
that will make the trip without
mishap.
I'VE would like to have the same
people build the balloon and the
gondola," he said, "and we hope to
have the same scientists duplicate
their apparatus. Already many of
them have signified their willingness
to rebuild their equipment. And so
we may yet be able to make this
flight in a new balloon. When we
do, we want to make the flight with
out breaking a single instrument"
Stevens told of the narrow escapes
from death of himself and his COM
rades, Mai. William z. Kepner and
Capt. Orvil A. Anderson, both while
in the balloon high IN the strato-
sphere and later while attempting to
take to their parachuteS during the
final plunge Of the balloon into a
Nebraska corn field.
Before they leaPed, the big balloon
with the entire bottom torn out, was
literally parachuting to earth and
they could look up into the whole
inside of the balloon, only the top of
which remained
1T was a pretty sight. quite round
and tight and symmetrical he said.
But it was a bit too tight. We
still had an enormous weight left
in the gondola."
He related that as Capt Anderson,
the first man to leave the balloon,
Jumped, the balloon exploded"
by this" he explained, II do not
mean that there was fire or smoke.
/ mean that the pressure suddenly
got too great all over. and the fabric
burst at once in SO places. The
gondola dropped Like shot"

AUTHORITY ASKED
TO BEGIN CLEANING
IUP ALLEYS HERE
Canon Stokes and T. S. Set
tie to Place Plan Before

BOARD OF 3 MEMBERS
LIKELY TO BE SOUGHT
President Expected to Place Pro.
gram in Operation Upon
Return.

The Presidents Committee on the
Alley Dwelling Act will seek an ex.
ecutive order from the White House
setting up an authority" probably
composed of three persons, to begir
cleaning up washington's alleys, il
was learned today
Canon Anson Phelps Stokes anc
Thomas S. Settle, secretary of the Ma.
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission, as spokesmen for the
committee, arranged today to plact
their recommendations before Marvir
H. Mcintyre, one of the Presidents
secretaries.
Settle said details of the recon-
mendations will not be made public
pending permission from the Whitt
House.
Board May Be Named.
The committees plan is believed
however. to embody the naming of g
three-man board, with terms of three
four and five years for members.
1t is considered possible that thest
members may be the president of thu
Board of District Commissioners, the
chairman of the Washington Commit.
tee on Housing and the chairman oi
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission.
Acting on recommendation OF the
committee he called into being, Presi-
dent Roosevelt Is expected to deslg-
nate the authority" soon after his
return to Washington. Then the new
organization will get options on alley
dwelling property and after purchas-
ing those suitable for the first opera
tions of the body, will begin an active
campaign.
VIII Be Torn Down.
Alley dwellings in commercial areas
will be torn down and given over to
sections will give way to low-cost
housing and, in an effort to improve
the general appearance of the neigh
borhood, the authority" will suggest
that householders seek funds from the
various Government agencies that are
assisting in enovation---such as the
Federal Housing Administration, the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board and
the Home Owners' Loan Corporation.
Congress has made $50o,000 avail
able as an initial fund for the 'au-
thority" to begin eradication of
Washington's alley dwellings. Profits
will be turned back into this fund
which will be revolving one.
While little is officially known about
the report of the Presidents commit
tee, it is considered certain that ii
recommends strongly that the wiping
out of Washington's alleys be not tied
up with any other project, but that
the authority pursue only this pro-
gram. The committee held its final
meeting late yesterday and perfected
its letter Of transmittal and the pro-
posed executive order.

BY THOMAS r. HENRY.


The American Indian henceforth
Is to be administered from the point
Of view of the ethnologist.
Men engaged in the adn1inistra-
tion Of Indian affairs must know the
difference between white men and
red men, and be open minded about
it. The plan is being worked out by
Commissioner John Collier with
some of the foremost ethnologists IN
the United States being recruited to
train the personnel.
A trained ethnologist cannot be
made in six weeks, but, Mr.. Collier
believes, in that period the basic at
titude of an apt pupil can be shifted
from the political and pragmatic to
the chronological and objective
after which details may be expected
to take care of themselves.
Hitherto the ideal seems to have
been that eventually the Indian
would become good Anglo-Saxon
with a brown skin-that he could
be absorbed gradually into ''su-
perior" culture. He was to be
thrown into a great American melt
ing pot with the English, the Irish.
the Germans, the Greeks. the Jews,
the Italians, and all the rest. He
might eventually be made into a go
getter," or even a high-pressure
salesman.
The present object is, at all costs,
to keep him an Indian. He Is be-
ing considered from a mere philo-
sophical viewpoint. His character
| istic culture, wher the European
| found him, was different from but
not necessarily either inferior or
superior to that which was forced
upon him. 1t was not static cul-
ture. 1t was developing along its
own lines. They did not hapen to
be European lines.
But there is no more reason, eth
nologists believes, for considering
United States culture as superior to
Iroquois culture, for example. than
for considering 1t superior to Chinese
culture-and the latter comparison,
many would now admit, is highly
| debatable.
American history is generally as
sumed to have started in 1892. But
those 400 years have constituted
only a brief episode in the story of
man on earth. They may, it is not
utterly inconceivable, be only an in
terlude of invasion in the story OF
North America. Just as fantastic
things have happened in history.
\ *&
Two Processes Have Been
At Work for 400 years.
During these 400 years two proc
esses have been at work.
The most obvious has been the ab-
sorption of the redman by the white
man, first by numbering him, robbing
under legal forms, and later by evan
gelizing his morals, dressing him in
store clothes, affiicting him with
welfare workers." preaching industry
and thrift, ad inhnitum TIE has
been judged by his ease Of absorption.
The least resistant tribes have been
rated highest, the most resistant low
est.
The less obvious has been the abb
sorption of the white man by the
Indian.
Culture might be described as mans
manipulation of nature to his own
advantage. Nature differs from place
to place. The Indians culture, devel-
oping for several thousand years be-
fore Europe heard of him, was the
