set light enough to carry easily in an air
plane. The garters solved the problem.
They were light, but still strong enough
to provide the necessary suspension for
radio sending and receiving equipment.
So the engineer, Hugo Leuteritz, used
them and made possible the aerial pio-
neering Of the Caribbean Sea by Pan
American Anyways.
Much that has been done since in the
Caribbean would have been impossible
without that radio. Weather forecast
ing direction finding - long distance
flights that turned military attention to
the strategic position of Puerto Rico
would still be unknown, and Puerto Rico
would still be the little island that was
taken from Spain in 1898 because of its
value as naval coaling station and
then was forgotten when oil replaced
coal as warship fuel.
Carriers Making History.
But Mr.. Lueteritz and the garters
changed the story.
Pan-American circled the island STEP
ping stones between the Americas. The
Army and Navy followed.
Puerto Rico again became important,
this time as an air outpost. The Navy
began playing war games around it and
its satellites-Culebra and Saint Thomas
Islands.
Early in 1899 President Roosevelt, OBJ
serving maneuvers in which the city of
San Juan was theoretically bombed into
ruins before the island was aware Of an
attack, encouraged immediate armament
Of Puerto Rico. In September, with
opening Of war in Europe, the work be-
gan in earnest.
Now, history is repeating itself. Once
again this island is defending Panama,
as it did in the days when it was in the
hands Of Spain and Spain owned Mex
leo.
There was no Panama Canal in those
days, but mules carried Mexican gold
and silver over the canal site and Puerto
Rico stood of attacks by Sir Francis
Drake and other sea warriors who tried
to seize Spanish ships carrying the treas
ure from there to Europe.
To any nation which may be casting
covetous eyes in this direction, military
experts offer word of historical warn
Ing: AS long as Spain was . first-rate
world power, the forts Of Puerto Rico
were never taken. And modern Amer
ics 10 far more powerful than was an
caent Spain.

Searchlights rip the tropic sky at

You may stay in Puerto Rico for weeks
and see or hear none of this. You may
experience it all within few days time.
For the defense maneuvers shift from
place to place with startling rapidity; q
busy camp one day is almost deserted
the next-guns and men hurried of for
some new test at some as yet uncharted
military vantage point.
Yet no matter where you are on the
island YOU cannot escape some phase OF
the tremendous armament program that
has been going full blast since last fall.
Bombing planes and flying boats are
aloft each day.
Telephone poles are being uprooted
and vital communication lines placed
underground.
Narrow roads built by the Spaniards
almost 400 years ago are being widened
and improved to make room for gun

The centuries-old walls of Ell Moro
and San Cristobal Forts are being re-
paired and ancient dungeons behind
them renovated to house incoming troops.

Millions Being Spent.
An eighth Of billion dollars will be
spent on this island before the war prep

of the War and Navy Departments in
Washington are carried through. Con-
gress in the last two sessions has appro-

a LOT of my friends have got it. Maybe I've
~ got it. Maybe you've got it. It's new
4 disease call it Jitteritis You get it from
giung yourself to the loud-speaker with its ter
rifying message of the latest world disaster. You
get it from poring over the black news in your
favorite newspaper. You get it from exchang
ing the days bad reports with your neighbor.
You get it from going to sleep, your imagination
crowded with images of destruction. 1t S an mfec-
ton that spreads like fog It's Jitteritis. And
it's part of the strategy of terror, the weapon
of dictators that deadlier than the deadlest of
machines
A certain number of those who get Jitteritis
don't recover. They become scared - and a
scared people can't think and can't fight. Or they
become apathetic - and to that extent they are
already enslaved In either case Jitteritis has
claimed its victim.
1t isn't the fault of the radio or the newspapers.
They're merely reporting the news, faithfully
and accurately as they possibly can. It's up to
US: it's not up to the radio commentators or
the newspapers.
What can we do about Jitteritis? Two things.
The first, and most important is to do what
we are already doing - to make great oolec-
tive national effort to prepare our defenses
against any possible enemy, whether the attack
is launched on the military economic front.
This is collective action We make it as people,
as the American nation, each one of us playing
the part assigned to us by our democratically
elected representatives Without this action we
are lost
But uith it ,ce are not yet saped
There remains something for each of us to do
inside himself 1t is this internal gesture that,
added to the national drive will save us from
surrender to the strategy of terror.
In GOING to propose something 50 simple, 50
old-fashioned that it's being forgotten in these
new fashioned days, with their emphasis on mass
movements and regmented behavior. ask you
to remember simply that you are yourself - that,
even at the moment of death, you remain your
self, and no one else Our religions are founded
on the irrefutable worthwhileness of the indi-
vidual soul Our whole Western culture is founded
on the motion of the individual conscience and
the individual consciousness. You're different
from Smith, and Smith from you. You like orange
juice, Smith likes grapefruit juice. You vote
Republican, Smith Democratic. You read one
paper, he reads another.
That is important. For get this straight -
the real totalitarian revolution goes beyond even
the bloodiest dreams of planetary conquest The

psychological The idea is to make different kind
of man or woman out of each of US The idea is to
reduce and finally to nullify the little differences,
the prejudices, the whims. the passions, that
separate one human being from another without
necessarily alternating one human being from
another. The plain purpose of the totalitarian
revolution is simply to blunt human conscious
ness
Well maybe some folks don't mind this. Maybe
the frenzy of being part of titanic mass acton
makes up for the loss of individuality Maybe
some folks are finding it too hard to be just them
selves. Maybe they don't wom to count, except
as cogs in machine.
But don't think ue Americans bull that
Way.
orILL, when Jitteritis gets you down. you begin
to feel that way little, just as bad case of
influenza weakens the will 50 that you don't care
what happens.
Don't gre in
The world is in bad shape. true enough but
if you rivet your consciousness only upon its evil
face, you don't make it any better. Certain
things remain y the life of your own mind, the
books you like, the movies and plays that amuse
you, the garden you tend, the family you love,
the memories you treasure. All this the totali-
tarians would like you to believe is outmoded,
dead or dying.
It's not true Art and music and literature and
ordinary simple fun not destroyed, even
though they must temporarily take subordinate
place in our scheme of things. But if you abandon
them entirely. if you shrug your shoulders and
say, What's the use of tuning in on great music
these days." - you're half licked already, be-
cause you've begun to abandon your own per-
sonal tastes and desires. the little things that
make you proud and glad to be yourself. You
become kind of passive totalitarian, no matter
what side of the political fence you happen to
occupy.
Our first job is to be good citizens. Our second
job - in fact, it's the same job - is to be good
men and women. If we believe in this Western
culture that we say we're willing to fight and
die for, then we must preserve that culture in
ourselves Soldiers can preserve it In themselves,
if the attitude with which they fight is not
bestial but merely stoical. And those of US who
may not be called upon to fight actively can
preserve it by continuing to foster in ourselves
the sense of our own uniqueness. Keep a little
corner in your own mind into which you can
retire = escape, if you will; for, under certain
circumstances, escape is gesture of health and
sanity.
The headlines count. They count terribly.
But you count most.

Good Pickings

According to Washington news
papers getting a carpenters job at
Fort Meade, Maryland, where the
pay Is SITS and more week, re-
quires less ability than hanging a
picture at homeland not a great
deal more exertion if one can pick
out day when there isn't much
pushing showing in line.
1t involves chilly waiting in q
long line of cab drivers, clerks, lab
orers, farmers, miners and assert
ed other ambitious non-carpenters.
The sole requirement, apparently,
is kit of tools and a union card.
Joining the union" merely means
waiting in line at shed near the
employment office and agreeing
to pay $3.50.
Questions about ability, exper-
fence and citizenship are not asked.
And one foreman said no one has
been fired because we can use
anybody who even looks like a
carpenter"
A young Washington reporter,
named Robert Bruskin, who went
to Fort Meade a short time ago to
check up on the situation, has this
to say: "The closest I ever came
to manual labor as a carpenter
was as an honorary member of the
Sidewalk superintendent Club.
But got carpenters job and
union card by the sole process of
waiting in line and not volunteer
ing any information"
Congress In New Quarters
The two wings to the original
Capitol occupied by the two
Houses of Congress were complet-
ed and taken possession of shortly
before the Civil War-to be exact,
81 years ago. Recently engineers
found that the roofs of both cham
bers, which consist of cast iron
and glass, were unsafe and would
probably collapse with the first
heavy snow. Last week both bodies
decided to move to safer quarters.
The Senate moved into the old
United States Supreme Court
chamber, which it had occupied
prior to the completion of the
north wing of the Capitol, and the
House has taken over the Ways
and Means Committee room in the
new House office Building. The
engineers promise to make the
roofs temporarily safe before the
new Congress convenes on January
9Th.
The late Speaker Bankhead call
ed my attention to the serious
condition of the Senate and House
roofs a few weeks before he died
and gave that as one of the reasons
why Congress should have ad-
journed in June so that the new
roofs could be put on before Janu-
airy LIST. AS Congress has several
times refused to adjourn the mat
ter of putting in permanent roofs
will have to go over until next
summer.

CAPITOL

BY Harold Knutson
A National Sales Tax

"A Nat1Onal sales lax
At his tax conference last Friday
the President put quietus on the
proposal to impose a sales tax to
finance in part the national de-
Tense program. At that time he
also indicated that there would be
no material increases in taxes this
winter. This will be reassuring to
industry, which is now operating
on an exceedingly close margin
under the present tax set-up.
I cannot help but feel that 1t
is unfair to future generations to
pass on to them burdens that we
have created through our own
folly. Without expressing an opin-
ion one way or another as to the
desirability Of imposing a sales
tax, I would like to call attention
to the fact that already many
states have a sales tax, some OF
which amount to as much as three
per cent. Should a federal sales tax
be added thereto, 1t would mean a
considerable increase In the cost Of
living which would fall particularly
hard upon the poor.
With the mounting expenditures
Of the government for this, that
and the other thing, we are going
to be put to it to find the required
revenue. The upper income tax
brackets are already burdensome
SO the demand to soak the rich Is
"out." Perhaps so million dollars
could be raised by lowering the ex-
emptions in the lower brackets but
that sum would be but drop In
the bucket.
There has been introduced in the
Senate a capital levy bill which
would force everyone owning prop
