Air Research

Fortunately for the cause of ma
tional air defense and the develop
ment of American civil aeronautics
Congress finally has reversed itself in
the matter of additional basic re-
search facilities for the National Ad-
visory Committee for Aeronautics
and has included in the third de-
ficiency appropriation bill an item of
$10,O00,000 for new research labo-
ratory.
On two previous occasions the
House had stricken from appropria-
ton bills funds for the much-needed
new laboratory. Only the united
pressure of the American aviation
industry, the military services and
supporters of national defense, raj
lied anew after each defeat, induced
Congress to change its mind in the
closing hours of the session.
Despite the splendid series of new
international and national aircraft
performance records established dur
ing the past two weeks by the big
four engined bombardment air.
planes of the Army Air Corps, the
United States cannot content itself
with the present status of It's mill
tary airplane development. There is
little question that existing types
of pursuit and attack airplanes in
Europe exceed the corresponding
types now in this country's fighting
squadrons In speed, If not in other
vital performance characteristics.
Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, still
continuing his studies of aeronauti-
cal research facilities for the Army
Air Corps, has voiced the opinion
that the United States has fallen so
far behind Europe in aeronautical re-
search that from three to five years
will be required to catch up, even
though I'VE push ahead as fast as we
can, for we are definitely behind"
Common prudence would seem to
dictate the necessity for spreading
out our basic research facilities to
prevent the possibility of disaster
wiping out at one time the whole
national research establishment.
Then, too, a great part of the Ameri-
can aeronautical industry has estab-
lished itself on the Pacific Coast
since the World War days when the
N. A. c. A. settled down In its present
laboratories at Langley Field, Hamp-
ton, Va.
Congress, after previous contro-
versy over site for the proposed new
laboratory, during which manifest
sectional politics entered the picture,
wisely has left the choice of the site
to the N. A. c. A., which numbers
among its members heads of the
Civil Aeronautics Authority and the
Army and Navy air services. The
committee already has designated as
its choicGEthe former great naval
airship base at Sunnyvale, Calf.

Says Garner Has Wrecked.
Social Legislation.

To the Editor of The Star:
The country has been informed that
Mr.. John Nance Garner will start a
front porch campaign" in the fall. We
are supposed to be grateful for the news.
But the expected enthusiasm awaited
by the Garner managers has not been
forthcoming.
There was the little matter of John l..
Lewis devastating blast. The labor
batting, whisky drinking, poker playing
evil old man" has stuck.
But in addition there is the fact that
the American people once suffered from
another front porch campaign" That
was in 1924 when Warren Gamaliel
Harding was the front porcher." And
out of that front porch" came the big
gest scandals in American history.

Use of Word "Vagueness"
Draws Question.


To the Editor Of The Star:
Was "vagueness" also the defect of

Thinks Roosevelt Should
Declare Position.
To the Editor OF The Star:
In the dawn of a presidential elec-
toral year, the New Deal high command
seeks to determine the possibility Of
third term for the champion of the past
septenium. Mr.. Ickes has sounded the
clarion and the New Deal chorus keeps
harping on the same note.
Meantime the President himself re-
mains in utter silence. Naught has he
to say one way or the other.
1t is well to recall the words of another
man under similar circumstances. CAL
vim Coolidge, fondly remembered by the
people as sensible man, did not choose
to run" In this public utterance he
stated Categorical stand" in opportune
time. Roosevelt should likewise assume
such categorical stand. A continued
studied silence" when an authoritative
statement is called for from the only
one able to make it, cannot conceivably
help any third-term Aspirations.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. Trace1Ueu.

Remember that white stomached
squirrel which got himself locked into
the garage overnight through his greed
for sunflower seed?
Wen, you would think he would have
had enough of that sort of enforced cap
tivity, and would have been willing to
Keep out, after his big fright.
But no, he went back for more, show
ing anew that animals as we'll as men
never learn anything!
Ihere was something in the garage
that next morning, though the door was
tightly locked with big paddock, a
really amazing affair, said to be built
like bank door,
Like most garage doors, these will not
close completely. That is, even when
bolted, they stand out slightly at angles.
leaving neat triangle open at the top.
This triangle, of course, Is very
But large enough, evidently
There was Mr.. Squirrel, to prove it, on
the inside, peering out.
Not ne, alone, however,
Two more squirrels were with him!
He had brought some friends
All of them were eating sunflower seed
out OF the large bag leaning against the
wall
An insight into the squirrel mind was
discovered here.
Out on the driveway neat bird feeder
had been in operation the year around
In it was kept good stock of food, in
Guiding much sunflower seed, favorite
of birds and squirrels.
Four or five rodents were at it con-
stantly, all day long, taking the best
seats, keeping them against the song
sters.
But this was not enough.
No, indeed!
1t was more fun to get in the garage,
and eat out of the bag.
Even If it meant getting locked in for
the night.
The curious thing was that the same
rodents could not find their way out,
after they had managed to get in.
This, too, Is eminently squirrellike.
They are always going down chimneys,
but not going up them again.
1t is. not question of toe-hold. The
rodent which manages to get down
could get up, again, if its brain were of
the type to understand getting out as
we'll as getting in.
That is where the brain of man shines.

Fourteenth Guest

When thirteen good fellows get to-
gether in Boston they are advised to
do 1t at the Parker House If any or
all are superstitious. At no extra
charge they get the invaluable serv-
ices of Sir Taynely Wrighte, an in
tensely British gentleman, who Is on
the pay roll to serve in the capacity
OF number fourteen as jinx buster.
Although other and brighter careers
are open to him, he Is content with
his lot He has never expressed a
desire to 60 into politics, for which
he is ideally equipped. Sir Taynely
is really dummy wax figure, stuffed
with straw.
He is popular with both guests
and employees Of the hotel. Guests
like to have this model of pro-
priety on their parties for va
riety OF reasons. He mooches no
cigarettes, and never leaves the ia
BILE to phone blond in Los Angeles,
sticking the party for the call. He
never fumbles upsuccessfully for the
check, and delivers no half hour
after-dinner speeches full of chest
nuts about Pat and Mike and the
travelling salesman. With the en-
ployes, he gets to flrst base by refrain
ing from marking up the table cloth
with indelible pencil calculations
showing that Sloppy Susie cannot
miss on wet track. He never causes
the temperamental French chef to
tear his hair by sending back an
order Of champignons garnis au
gratin a la mode with request to
know if 1t is really tripe or just tastes
like it.
AS stated, he gets to first base with
the hired hands. He does not, how
ever, get all the way home, as he is
cursed with one fatal weakness at
the plate, no doubt already spotted
by the intelligent reader. Sir Taynely,
although he often slumps and wob-
bles, never tips.

Terrorists Called Disgrace
To Irish Race.
To the Editor OF The Sta

To the Editor OF The Star:
The writer read with interest and
concern the publication In The Star of
articles by Edmund Gilligan from New
York regarding the raising of American
money by agents of the Irish Republican
Army and the plans of that organization
Tor prosecuting their campaign of terror
In England
1t will be recalled that when Sean
Russell. self-styled chief of staff of the
aforementioned army, was arrested by
immigration officials at Detroit, during
King Georges tour of Canada that
Congressman McGranery, Sweeney and
Smith (of Connecticut were terribly
concerned over the grave injustice" in
volved in the chiefs detention and
threatened boycott of the congressional
reception for the King and Queen unless
this man was released Immediately, It
Is presumed their concern bore fruit.
When the Irish Free State was set up.
with the six Ulster counties left out.
because of their determination to stay
out, 1t was asserted that Irish blarney
would, IN time, win them over. This
"blarney' soon began to function in the
bombing of police stations and other
public places in Ulster. These outraees
accomplished nothing beyond strength
enlng listers resolve to remain within
the British commonwealth.
Now, led by Sean Russell and, without
doubt, financed by Hitler funds and
American money. a cowardly and dam
nable series of outrages are being planned
and carried out throughout England
Great Britain fought to save democ-
racy during the World War and NAV
soon be fighting to save civilization. It
will then take many British soldiers to
cope with the Irish termites in Britain:
their absence from the front may cause
the loss of great battle and possibly
the war.
I 1t behooves every decent minded Irish
man and every right-minded citizen of
the world to pool moral forces in an
effort to stop this disgrace to the Irish
