Research and Air Power

It is an obvious fact that wars are waged in laboratories and draughting rooms as well as on battlefields. For proof there is the robot bomb. It came too late to threaten Allied victory Seri- OuSly. But it has delayed victory and raised it's price at time when the rest of the Nazi war machine is outclassed in every department. Yet in spite of this evidence our postwar plans for scientific preparedness have Jagged. Now at last an official word has been spoken on the subject by Undersecretary of War Pat terSon. Appearing before the House Postwar Military Policy Committee, he stressed the urgent need of continuous, long-range research in the science of war.
 Naturally enough, MT. Patterson put great emphasis on aviation research Mil itary authorities supported his argu- mentS with the statements that all our air equipment will be obsolete in two or three years, and that the potentialitieS of jet propulsion, rockets, and the like have scarcely begun to be developed MT. Patterson did not suggest detailed who and how of this program. But previous congressional testimony by members of the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce suggests logical way toward practical operation.
 They would have air power research carried out for the Army and Navy by private aviation industry. And there are many arguments to support their stand. The industry already has plants, equip ment, and trained personnel. It has need to keep as much of all these as possible on the job in peacetime. For, unlike such industries as auto manufacturing, air. plane builders cannot reconvert in peace time. They can only shrink and the less snrinkage, the better for all concerned These same facilities would likely make z possible to carry on the research pro- gram in private industry with greater economy If competition is still operat- ing normally after the war, it should pro- vide the incentive to turn out the best possible product for the least possible cost even when the competitors are working for the Army and Navy.
 And there are historical reasons to supp port the industry's stand Most epochal

Tn your article about GaIyaEio Burns of the tongue recently ycu said: These are authorities to which refer dentists or doctors." !" Do you mean to imply that den- tists are not doctors? .. grain- nlitical ((sic). but it has de- grading affect (sic) on the dental profession You should have said dentists or physicians" Are We not correct2 (Signedl -( Three names. all in the same handwrit-

 Whenever any one calls for, sends for or looks for doctor there Is no question what s1e means.
 Whenever one sees 6 sign. card CT lettering on an office door which reeds pr. JoE.n Doe 1t is reasonable to assume, and John Doe hopes 1t vii! be assumed that Doe Is Quali- fled by education and training to practice medicine.
 Of course in Yankeeland you get badly fooled If you take the title SO used without circumSpecticn.
 Numerous individuals who write to me call themselves Doctor" but, as their stationery fails to indicate why, do not take them at face value. Generally one with doc toral degree uses 1t, if anywhere, on his professional cards or sta- tionery.
 I have abandoned the effort to persuade dentists to adopt, for trade purposes. another trademark title than Doctor, in order to leave that trademark to practicing physicians exclusively. My dentist friends, If any, will search in vain, for any mention of the gratuitous title \ tried to foist upon them, in my writings. Incidentally, ] hope den- tists who read this will send mo their names and address on stamped envelope, so that I may send them copy of the expurgated edition of the booklet Save Your Teeth I hope they will, for the sake or public welfare, tell me just what they find wrong with the teachings in the booklet - I'll be grateful for any criticism or sug- gestion from 8 dentist, and of course I'll regard such communities tions as professional and confiden~ tial, unless the dentist expressly consents to publication or quota ton.
 There may be just little truth in the saying that an apple day keeps the doctor away. When can get it, believe an apple, washed with soap and water and eaten as dessert, as a chaser for any sweet or refined carbohydrate. or last thing at night, is better for teeth and gums than any toothbrushing or mouthwash, though of course. it will not keep the dentist away. not if you have an intelligent apprecia- tion of the importance of saving your teeth.

Flower sweetly over the air, oSten- sibly to Chairman Krug, "who gave you that advice. Maybe this fellow wears spatS and has striped trousers and a cutaway coat. But tell you he is a tinhorn at heart.
 T think you have some tinhornS around you, MT. Krug; and you had better do as I do: grab them by the back of the neck and kick them out. This order, MT. Krug, is disgrace. !" Mayor LaGuardia is far from the only person who thinks that the WIPE should take time off from win ming the war to improve the morals, ethics and economics of the Amer ican people.
 THERE WILL BE
 "REFORM" PRESSURE As the war draws nearer to an end and reconyersion gets under way, the WIPE realizes that it will be under ever-increaSing pressure to use its vast powers for social, moral, theological reform purposes.
 Except for the record, there is no purpose in reminding Mayor La- Guardia and others like him of facts they know well. But thousands who might be deceived by such as His Honor are entitled to have the facts recalled to them at this time.
 The War Production Board was created for one purpose only. At 8 time when we had to pro- duce outlandish quantities of guns, tanks, planes, ships, munitions and other war supplies, for which we were short of raw materials, plant equipment and manpower, the WIPE was authorized to control all indus trial activities essential to the two prime purposes:
 1. To manufacture what our fighting men needed; 2. To keep civilian economy going enough so that it could produce armament, munitions and supplies of war.
 It was not authorized to stop drunkenness, to prevent murder and robbery, promote church-going, or control gambling.
 DISTILLERS' "HOLIDAY' EVOKED A HOWL
 When it was announced that the nations distillers, who had all been appropriated for war production, could and would be given holiday in which they could-and did make beverage alcohol, the WIPE re- ceived 1,200 letters of protest in five weeks from people who wanted the board to protect drinkers from their natures.
 The board has had frequent com- plaintS about permits for repair, en- largement and building of recrea- tional facilities at time when church construction was under rigid control. Tn most instances these complaints showed much more un- derstandiIig than Mayor LaGuardia when they were informed that the movie theaters, dance halls, skating rinkS, beer parlorS, etc., were neces- sary to keep bored workers from leaving war jobs in mushroom com- munities where there were no ade- quate facilities for spending spare time.
 The WIPE conyceives its job to be to retain rigid control over every production item so long as scarcity exists, but to release that control the first minute there is 8 surplus of the item not needed for war produc- tion
 If we attempted to use our war power to enforce prohibition or to reshape American institutions in any other way, we would be usurp- ing the rights of Congress and the people," explains J. B. Harvey, chief of the inquiry service.
 On that sound platform the board intends to stand.

Selected Poem
THIS STILL HOUR

(Alma Robison Higben in the New York Times) Now the wind has sheathed its knife-keen edges Against the dry and bitter tang of smoke.
 Down an aster sky the far-flung wedges Of southward winging birds; the hills awake TO their dark calling. Tn this still hour
 The heart stands acQuiescent where the past Has closed door. Leaves, in a golden shower Fill the path where our bright summer was lost.
