"A Mad Scientists Dream
By David laurence

1t was never proclaimed with much

Marshall's prospectus for American

Rich Enough to Waste?

TO the Editor Of The Star:
Hearing so much Of strikes and the
troubles of the world, the poverty and
the need Of 20 many people-even our
own-I am continually filled with
amazement at . policy Of organized
destruction Of property that probably
has no precedent in history.
The dumping Of hundreds Of tons Of
500-pound bombs in the sea; the Dump
ing Of millions Of rounds Of small arms
ammunition: the burning daily on this
island Of one thousand loo-pound In
cendiaries, I can make an effort to
understand.
But the wholesale dumping over
cliffs Of thousands of machetes, tents,
tarpaulins, cots and numberless other
usable items including ducks" mo-
torized equipment, engineering and
aviation equipment to the tune of over
a million dollars on this island alone
makes no sense.
I know that every one is anxious to
get home-so am but there are stor-
age places here and many ways to
store some Of this equipment Many
men are idle who could weatherproof
it until spare ship might be available
to take 1t where 1t could be used, even
II 1t were to be q year or more from
now. Some of US are disguised at the
needless waste.
On the other hand, many are over
joyed at being able to get rid Of old
stun and new so easily-and being able
to take 1t OF the property books. 1t
means that they are set to return to
the States.
It's queer setup where so little
thought Is given to the future.
And some of us wonder who ~'okays"
this wholesale destruction when no one
is ready to tell ship captains to "un-
load your ships and prepare to take
men home"-even after weeks Of lying
ut anchor In nearby harbors.
It's good thing that we are rich
nation-but wonder II we are as rich
as these acts lead us to believe I hope
so. CAPT. DAVID r. KIBBY.

Favorable for MANY
Victory Garden Crops

With more than four months of
good weather ahead in Washington,
there is ample time to grow almost
all crops in Victory gardens.
This was the advice today of J.
Morton Franklin, supervisor, who
declared:
About this time each year gar
deners unacquainted with the
Washington area begin to wonder
If it is too late to plant garden
crops" Mr.. Franklins answer is
a definite no"
For instance. snap beans can be
planted up to August 10; sweet corn.
up to July 10 or Is: carrots, beets
and other root crops. up to August
/ lettuce and radishes, up to August
Is; cabbage, broccoli and cauli-
flower, up to June Is, and tomatoes,
up to July /.
Mr.. Franklin cites the recent War
Food Administration announcement
that canned goods for civilians are
to be cut Is per cent and President
Truman's request that more Victory
gardens be cultivated as reasons for
local residents to go ahead with
plans for garden.
Fortunately, Washington gardens
escaped damage from hail last
Saturday, although nearby areas
were not as fortunate.
