In these emotional misadventures

4 New Industry Is Born

New industries are the inevitable after math of the tremendous human effort involved in modern war. After the last war it was the automobile After this war, which has hinged on air power, it will be the airplane The aviation in dustry, including commercial air trans portation, has future that literally stag gers the imagination The Administra- tor of Civil Aeronautics. Charles I. Stan- ton, predicts 3OO,OOO civil aircraft three years after the war, and 500000 by the end of the first postwar decade. He be- lieves that there will be a need for double the existing 5000 airports
 Even during the present war, the com mercial air carriers have turned in per formance little short of miraculous. By nearly doubling the number of hours aloft for each aircraft, they were able with half the equipment to fly l5 per cent more revenue passengers in l943 than in l942. 3l per cent more express pound-miles. and 70 per cent more mail pound-miles Yet stepped up service was not attained at the sacrifice of safety. Number of miles flown per fatal accident in domestic air carriers operations reached an all-time high of 46,5G0, ,835 In l943. against 22020,572 in 1922.
 Coincident with the growth of the air carriers to the stature of a full fledged service industry has risen the problem of regulation. As the close Of war draws nearer and as further expansion of ayia- ton impends. this problem becomes in- creasingly serious. There is danger that conflict between the states and the Federal government will hamper efficient airline service. An example Of such con- fllct threatens in Colorado. which has under consideration a set of airline regu- Iations which, if put in force, would con tradict and overlap existing Federal laws, making airline operation through Colorado virtually impossible Unques- fionably, regulation of the airlines must be unified How it is to be done is the immediate concern of Congress. The fate of vast new industry hangs in the balance.

Industry Can't Do It An'

The Brookings Institution warns that Permanent prosperity can be expected only if corporation executives and union officials follow price policies that make for high production. Unless productive capacity is progressively used tO produce more adequate consumers goods than the masses have hitherto enjoyed, popu- lar demand for extensive government economic control is likely to arise"
 Industry discovered long ago that charging all the traffic will bear does not pay. For proof of the soundness of the principle of high production combined with mass distribution at minimum prices, one has only to turn to the exper- fence of our larger stores. These types of retail outlet have prospered by stick ing to the simple policy of small unit profit on volume sales. In serving con sumers, the chains served themselves.
 Before the war mass production and mass distribution were instrumental m raising living standards to new levels. After the war, by helping to keep prices down, they can be instrumental m pre- serving the American form of Democratic government The alternative to the abundance of mass production and mass distribution is rigid government control of chronic shortages which would auto matically spell finis to freedom. But in- dustry cannot guarantee maximum pro duction unless it is backed up by intelli- gent governmental action.
 It is to the direct interest Of everyone in the country to advocate tax and regu- latory policies which will encourage man. ufacturers and retailers to produce ana distribute as never before in the history Of the nation. Wartime controls should be minimized as rapidly as possible. They are a makesnift substitute for the Tree competitive system.

4 Bleak Picture

Vice-President Wallace on his recent brief stop-oyer here in Waterbury im- pressed the representative of this paper and others who met him by the grave sincerity he displayed in his concern oyer the problem of industrial reconver- sion as related not only to New England but all the nation.
 His wasn't the tribute of ip-service only, to such a problem, for his manner was grave when he discussed such mat ters and his words were implicit The war seems rapidly approaching an end and we are to find ourselves faced with the countless problems of peaeetime restor- ation. Yet little is being done about it in our Congress
 We have at the moment the most reg- mentated economy in the nations history. That this economy should today be struggling to break these letters Of mobilization is natural and healthy reaction of ihdependent initiative, But some control is necessary once the un- burdened release is affected,
 There are many pertinent serious phases of this condition; the thousands of migratory war workers who will find themselves Occupati0nally and therefore, socially unattached and without direc- ton; the problems of the sudden deple- ton of individuals payehecks, and others.
 The answers, or near answers, should have been provided months ago. But Congress has delayed - Republican and Democrat alike, There has been some mighty heady eul0gizing of postwar hopes and plans but now that reality Is almost upon us, we are ill-pfepared,

AsR. PEPPER vs. THE LUKE BOX
lNew York Herald Trlbunel

 Prom time to time we have had occasion to disagree with senator Claude Pepper, of Florida. though we hayealyay S admired his clos quenee, wit, imagination and good intentions. At last the Senator has taken a stand on an issue-aD issue so important to the American social scene-in such fortnight terms that We must agree with him whole heaFtedIy. The Senator is against juke boxes. He doesn't merely want to reform Juke boxes. or regulate them He would junk them all. Quib- blers have held that fluke boxes would be all right if they only played Q little better brand Of muslc-say opera and highfalutlp classical piec- es. Nonsense; no one would listen. The Juke box is one of the curses of Senator Peppers own state, and its baleful influence has spread oyer the country. Its horrible, metallic eac0ph0ny make conversations ipl- possible. thinking difficult. drinking a chOre and eating Q neTve-cOrrOd- ing ordeal. Senator Pepper, like OlF- selves, believes in Q high degree of liberty, and tt may be that nothing can be done about the Juke box. But the right to be let alone, the right t0 be free Of dreadful noises surely, that is something. Good luck to the Senator in his brave crusade, eEi,

Tt is endorsed by the medical profession. It reaches into rural sections and cities alike. Officials say that as soon as a basis for sound operation is worked out, the plan will include com plete medical service Its cost at present is a dollar or so a month for whole families.
 Again it should be emphasized that this is but one of hundreds Of worthy organizations They are all the result of intelligent action on the part Of free citizens working toward the common ob- jective Of making the miracles of modern medicine available to every man, woman and child in the United States.

Such punishment could hardly be ex. pectcd to make the people of Paris either love or fear the master race any more at this stage of the game mot after being kicked around for four years. But if the Germans al last realize that they are about to he defeated. there would be every reason for them Co gain what little good will they could from the French people by sparing their capi- tai from further ravagcs.
 MAYBE THEY'LL DO HT
 JUST FOR SPITE
 The other aspect is that the Nazis having taken everything they coia- sidened valuable out of PaliS. and seeling revengeful against the French Tor saving failed to colla- borate. might well decide that robot bombing of Paris would be no more than what the ungratefui Parisians deserve.
 The characteristics Of the robot bomb make it particularly adaptable for use against Paris. The bombs are effective only against big tar gets. such as the London or Paris areas. Accuracy of the bomb flight is controlled by a gyro-pil0t which can keep a relatively true course for all variations except windage. But even a little wind will throw a rife bullet of aim. and in the case of the l6-f0Ot wing span. 25-fOOt long robot bomb operating over much greater distances. wind makes spot accuracy impossible. That is per- laaps one reason why there have moi been more bombs sent against southern British poTas from Souih- anspton tO Dover. Their distance from boinb-launching ceniers on the French coast is much less than the distance to London. but even so. the fact that they offer a smaller target makes them less vulnerable.
 LONDON-AgKgED ROBOT MAKES q 2e-MINUTE FLIGHT
 The range Of the rocket bomb now used-fr0m 100 t0 l50 miles has made it possible for the Ger mans to set mp their launching racks behind Calais on the French coast and reach London without difficulty tn flight of % minutes.
 Applying those distances to the Paris area. the French capital may not be considered safe from robot bombing until the Germans are driven beyond the Belgian border on the north. beyond Mezt and Nancy. on the east. Tn other words the Germans could even now be building robot bomb centers ia Alsaee from which t0 launch attacks on the French capital
 All such calculations are based on the performance of the first V-i models of the one and tw0-ton robot baInb which have been used in at- tacks on London at the rate of about 100 a day since mid-June Still 10 be heard from is the Ger man V-2 bomb. which, according to Nazi propagapda. viii have greater range and a greater load of ex- pl0siye.

AS A MATTER OF FACT

A warm September is predicted. The suggestion of fall during the latter days of August is to be followed up by return to warm weather, so the weather men say. This warm spell will not equal what we had most of the summer Warm days in September are agreeable If the evenings and mornings are cool and snappy. A prolonged summer rather than an early fall is much more to our liking.

CT, D. L)
 have tried every feasible meth. cd In the years I have been grind. ing out this column before the eminent Dr. ....a. whose distiI. gulshed style you admire started hi health column. One method rec. commended to me by numerous ex. perlenced editors was to just mon- key around and say anything at all Co get the readers attention and then let him have it in one crisp sentence ar paragraph. This struck me as an excellent plan. But no go. I found in many instances the meat of the article was omitted to make it fit a limited spaceD and only the chaH was left. Of course that made many readers regard my at. tempt to be funny as you do. sir oi madam.
 By "pasteurizing' a focus of in. fection. a septic focus. in the t0nsi I mean precisely what I say--the infected area Of tonsll tissue is subjected to sufficient heat to pre-. vent multiplication of germs in the tissue. if not sufficient Co destroy all the germs It is identical ir priciple with pasteurlsing milk oI other food. This is a rational. scien. tiilc explanation Of tho benefit a patient with infected tonsils derives from skilled dlathermy - electro. coagulatlon--tr at the hands Of a physician skilled ln that field It accounts for the marked relief or improvement in the general or systemic trouble which patients with focal infection experience after the first two or three diathermy treatments. long before the infected portion Of the tonsll has been ex- tirpated or destroyed.
 There is a zone surrounding the point of coagulation where the pas- sage of the diathermy current rais- es the temperature of the tissue to approximately the temperature Of milk being pasteurized u45-l5O des grecs FD--and if this is not pas teurization of the tissue in the zone. you may give it whatever name you deem appropriate.
 Notwithstanding the dicai views of doctors of yesterday con- cerning the tonslls, the present consensus and practice is by com parison strikingiy conservative. Not only in regard to removal Of simply enlarged tonsils (and adenoidsD in children. but also in the treatment Of focal infection.
