Islands in Space
(New York Times)

(New York Times
 It is hard to understand the furor raised by the German proposal to send rocket-ships to point in space 5000 miles distant and there build platform or island for sodium mirror which is to concentrate the suns rays on the earth to generate power. The Army officers who discovered plans for a space island" in German archives evidently knew nothing of rocket history and prmed the correspondents with information which has been available in print ever since 1928 In that year the late Count Potocnic a retired officer of the Austrian Army who under the pen name Hermann Noordung" devoted whole pamphlet to islands in space. He was followed py Count Guido Pirquet, practcing engineer Hermann Oberth and others-all excellent physicists and mathematicians A popular American scientific periodical took Potocnics plans and embelshed them in the best pulp magazine fashion, that some thou sands of Americas boys knew all about them long before the war.
 Mad as islands in space may seem, they could be created in theory Von Pirquet insisted them because they were needed refueng stations for rocket ships bound for Mars and Venus. Without them it was simply impossible for rocket-ship to carry enough fuel millions of miles, Practical con- alterations therefore inspired the astronauts and not dreams of scorcing large sections of the earth Even if they had widespread devastation in mind, Von Prquet, Oberth and the rest knew that it would be hard to direct blisterng solar beams on successive spots There was also the problem of obscuring clouds and of handling huge sheets of sodium metal which combines with oxygen the earth and is thus reduced to caustic soda.
 The astronauts displayed extraordinary ingenuity in their plans Islands which to become little moons were placed ton paper) at various distances from the earth and their periods of revolution cal culated Count Potocnic had the best idea. Ills artificial island located exactly 2230O miles away because that distance it would revolve around the earth in twenty-four hours and therefore remain stationary one spot. Increditabe as it may seem, it would be easier to assemble such an island than to fly directly to the moon or to Mars The astronauts not quite as insane or blood thirsty as they have been painted. In fact they were so practical that without their aid the Germans probably would have developed the Vi ana V-z

THE NAVY CHANGES

study of figures showing past and present U. s. naval might sheds an interesting light on the trend of marine combat strategy While today we have some l5O0 fighting ships against only 383 in l94o our present total of bateships is lower than it was five years ago The same is true of heavy cruisers. On the other hand have almost five aircraft carriers now for every once owned back when the two- ocean program started
 Speed and mobility have been the basic factors around which the modern American fleets have been constructed These serve two purposes. First fast ships can more easily eude air and submarine attack second speed makes it possible to strike the enemy more frequently, and in places where he is least expecting it.
 To increase fleet mobility American naval experts now have on hand 370 destroyers against 225 in 1940. We have 548 speedy and powerful destroyer escorts-a type of craft not included in the naval figures of few years ago. We have, too, 112 escort cauiers-another ship which missing in the American Navy of 1940.
 So fast the ships of today that none of the oldtmers keep pace with them Allied com manders often have experienced difficulty we have been told combining fleet units particularly U. S. and Brtish-due to the much greater mobility of our vessels While there still is school of thought which

LABOR, HEALTH AND SOCIAL INSURANCE

You will permit the self-or- ganization of employees along democratic lines, subject to such safeguards as may be necessary to prevent the perpetuation of Nazi or militarist influence under any guise, or the continuation of any group hostile to the objectives and operations of the occupying forces.
 You will permit free collective bargaining between employees and employers regarding wage, hour and working conditions and the es- tablishment of machinery for the settlement of industrial disputes. Collective bargaining shall be sub- ject to such wage, hour and other controls, Ii any, as may be insti- tuted or revived by your direction.

 The Control Council should adopt a policy permitting the con- version of facilities other than those mentioned in paragraphs 30 and g to the production of light consumer goods.
 You will prohibit all cartels or other private business arrangements and cartel-like organizations, in- cluding those of a public or quasi public character, such as the wirtschaftsgruppen, providing for the regulation of marketing condi- tions, including production, prices, exclusive exchange of technical in- formation and processes, and allo- cation of sales territories. Such necessary public functions as have been discharged by these organiza- tions shall be absorbed as rapidly as possible by approved public agencies.

seizure of I. G. Farben assets in Argentina and Switzerland, the War Department, ignoring the blueprint, said no.
 Again the blueprint for con- quered Germany provides that no munitions plants shall operate. But the U s. Army has given permis- sion for a German hydrogen plant to make fluid for U. s. buZz-bombs, while the Ford plant at Cologne is making trucks for the U. s. Army. While these are for the United States, officials here point out that the Army has a tremendous surplus of trucks, and that if we didn't need the hydrogen peroxide for a two-front war, we don't need it now for one front.
 It was the building up of Ger man industry after the last war, they emphasize, partly to pay rep arations, partly through the con- nivance of American-Briti indus trialists, which paved the way for Hitlers amazing war capacity in this war.
 These are some of the reasons why this columnist believes that the American people, who con- tributed so much to defeat Ger many, have right to know the rules by which Germany is to be kept defeated. Publication of the carefully drafted and thoroughly approved blueprint for governing Germany was begun yesterday Other pertinent portions follow today.

STANDARD OF LIVING You will estimate requirements
The Daily Alaska empire., 1945-08-10

of supplies necessary to prevent starvation or widespread disease or such civil unrest as would en- danger the occupying forces. Such estimates will be based upon a program whereby the Germans are made responsible for providing for themselves, out of their own work and resources. You will take all practicable economic and police measures to assure that German resources are fully utilized and consumption held to the minimum in order that imports may be strictly limited and that surpluses may be made available for the occupying forces and displaced per- sons and United Nations prisoners of war, and for reparation.
 You will take no action that would tend to support basic living standards in Germany on a higher level than that existing in any one of the neighboring United Nations and you will take appropriate measures to ensure that basic living standards of the German people are not higher than those existing in any one of the neighboring United Nations when such meas ures will contribute to raising the standards of any such nation.

EDUCATION

An educational institutions within your zone except those pre- viously reestablished by Allied au- thority will be closed. The closure of Nazi educational institutions such as Adolf Hitler Schulen, Ma polas and Ordensburgen, and of Nazi organizations within other educational institutions will be per manent.
 "B-A coordinated system of con- trol over German education and an affirmative program of reorienta- tion will be established designed completely to eliminate Nazi and militariStic doctrines and to en- courage the development of demo- cratic ideas.
 "C-You will permit the reopen ing of elementary (volksschulen) middle (mittelschulen) and voca- tional (berufssehulen) schools at the earliest possible date after Nazi personnel has been eliminated. Textbooks and curricula which are not free of Nazi and militaristic doctrine shall not be used The Control Council should devise pro- grams looking toward the reopen ing of secondary schools, universi- ties and other institutions of higher learning.

 HEART AND HOME
 Under this configuration vacations may grow tiresome from general urge to return to occupations allur- ing on opportunities for advance ment. The stars presage changes in business and professional systems in which women will be fortunate.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Many lines of business will bene- fit greatly from lessons learned through the exigencies of war. Science applied to minor industries will prove amazingly profitable. Small factories will eliminate waste and village merchants will install metropolitan devices to attract cus- toners.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Resentment against war profiteer- ing and civilian lack of apprecia- tion of their sufferings and sacri- fices will disturb many returning veterans. The seers warn of the dangers associated with readjust- ment.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 According to astrology China this year will undergo changes in gov ernment matters, will respond to Russian influence and will gain in support of communism. Serious problems of transportation will be overcome. The people will require economic aid from the United Ma tions.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of varied ac- tivities that should prove successful. Women will find added happiness in the home.
 Children born on this day have the promise of eventful careers. They will be hot-tempered and need care ful discipline.
