The Lesson Of the Disks

WASHINGTON, jury II The
f;vinr saucers have served al
least to pound one lesson home.
That is that the United States mas
developed mo effective warning
system against surprise attack IN
this age Of the new and terrible
weapons. For if such a system
had been in existence. the mill
tarv authorities could instantly
have ended speculation. They
could have given those assurances
which an effective warning sys-
tenn would instantly provide: we
know all that passes through the
American air. You saw sunlight
on the wings Of high.1ying air
craft-or you saw nothing-or you
saw a meteor in the night SKY.
No such assurances were forth
coming. We do not have an etfec'
tive warning system. We are not
prepared for the worst.
ADEQUATE defensive preparation
fer an all too possible worst Will
mean. in the opinions OF those
| charged with planning COR nation
al security in this r OF the atom
bomb and the guided missile, two
things. First, it will mean a radar
umbrella extending over tn e
whole continental United States,
to give instant warning OF any CO.
iect which passed through the air
over America. The incidental
benefits Of such an umbrella will
be considerable: for example, 1t
will undoubtedly serve to de-.
crease air accidents. But its real
purpose will be to flash in a mo-
ment to all defense headquarters
news Of the direction and weight
of any enemy attack.
Such a system will be expen-
sive. But the second prerequisite
Of an effective warning system
will be more SC. For advance
warning bases, pushed out beyond
the borders Of the country, will
also be necessary, to provide
those extra minutes or seconds
for the launching of the American
defensive counter-attack. To meet
this dire necessity, very little has
been done. The chain Of joint
American Canadian warning sta.
lions and air bases projected
along the Arctic frontier is still
in the dream stage. One such
base, at Churchill, On Hudson's
Bay, does exist, for preliminary
testing purposes. But its value
even as a test base is doubtful.
For it is the northern terminus Of
a Canadian railroad, whereas the
Arctic bases, on tie other hand,
must Of necessity be utterly iso-
lated by endless miles Of Arctic
waste. They must be so planned
that the technicians who man
them will be able to support life
in sub-zero isolation for long peri.
ods at a time, and SO that these
men can be supplied not only with
the means Of life, but with the
necessary equipment, when and
where needed.
Moreover, such bases, each in
itself a major project, must be
spaced at 200-1nile intervals
across the Arctic frontier. For the
outer limit Of radar range is 100
miles, and any gap might render
hte whole system valueness. Pres
ent estimates indicate that such
an advance warning system will
re nuire an initial investment of Al

Soviet supervision. the German
scientists continued to manufac-

zone of Germany for some time
after the war. One achievement
of this continued experimentation
was the 40 rocket, designed first
at Peenemunde during the Juror

The chief characteristic of the
A-9 rocket is that it is equipped,
not with fins, like the w, but
with wings. Thus, whereas the "

wings ease it into a long glide
when it reaches the denser at

the range is extended by more
than 300 miles. Moreover, slowed
by its wings, it becomes fleeing

|clearly indicated 4 policy. I would
have had no right to call it the
Hoover Dam. Neither did my pre-
decessor, Secretary Wilbur, have
any such right.
Representative Rockwell, Repub-
|lican, OF Colorado, and others
seemed to see a connection between
the building Of Boulder Dam and
the Santa Fe Compact that pro-
vided for the division of the waters
of the Colorado River between the
four upper and the three lower
basin States. There was no con-
Inection between the two enterprises.
The waters Of the Colorado River
could have been apportioned with
out the building Of a dam ana the
dam could have been built without
the interstate compact as to the
waters. Mr.. Hoover had much to
do with the compact but not .
thing to do with Boulder Dam ex-
cept that he secretly opposed it.
Representative Fernandez, Demo-
crat, of New Mexico, was right
when he said: mo matter what we
call this dam ondciallN it will
still be Boulder Dam to all Of us

the substance and not by the

by the Republicans with Reed
Smoot in the drivers seat. 1t would
seem that the Senate, also, did not
want to ch1isten Boulder Dam Hoo
yer Dam"
Never once during the Senate de-
bates on the bill authorizing this
project, in 1928, was it given any
name other than that of Boulder
Dam.
Senator Smoot actively partici-
pated In the filibuster that sought
to prevent the passage of this bill.
The burden of that fight was car
ried by Senator Hiram w. johnson
of California. According to the
Congressional Record Of January 9,
1890, Senator Pat Harrison OF Mis-
sissippi said:
"Those who now do me the honor
to hear me will remember those
long, long hours when the Senator
from Utah (Mr. Smoot) imposed
upon us, for days, in one instance,
speaking against the Boulder Dam.
- I dare say it had no opponent
who evinced greater interest .
in opposition to the erection
of this great dam henceforth,
now and forever to be called, at
the instance of the senior Senator
from Utah, the Hoover Dam ..
Hoover did Nothing for It."
1T may be that the reason why
he did not call it the Hoover
Johnson Dam was because he knew
that the Senator from California
did everything for 1t and the Presi-
dent of the United States (Mr.
Hoover) did nothing for it and the
twin appellation would not be ap-
propriate."
The will Of Congress can be
expressed negatively as well as
afi1rmatively. The refusal Of both
houses to call this structure Hoover
Dam was the same as a decision

A. This is an ancient practice
traceable to the Greeks who revered
the owl as a special ward of Pallas

low needs a sound understanding ol
economics to keep from going crazy
| Let me explain. read the othel
day that the national debt of the
United States was $3.50, ,000, 600, ,00(
and that If everything in the United
States were sold-homes, farms, ma
chinery, antiques, ice boxes, ranches
mills, railroads-there still wouldn't
be enough money to pay of the debt
In other words, there isn't enough
real property in the United States
to pick up $3.50, ,o00, ,o00. 900 worth oi
IOU's.
Worries About Gifts, Abroad.
This didn't worry me very much
for how can the average citizen
think in terms of billions when he
is trying to scrape up enough dough
to make the next payment on his
insurance, his refrigerator, his den-
tist bill, his golf club tab and the
$3.50 due on his wife's winter coat.
But started worrying few days
later when I read that the United
States must start giving away money
to all the countries of the world be-
cause the United States Is the only
country with lots of money.
Wait just a minute, said to my
self. Here is country mortgaged
for more than 1t Is worth but still
has enough money to give away.
That is when I started wishing
that I had taken economics. To
a man who had mastered that sub
ject, such financial tomfoolery must
make sense. You have nothing, but
you are able to give gold away.
Sympathizes With Americans.
A man who has economics at his
fingertips would have no trouble ex-
planning why it is more important
to house, feed, and clothe those far
from your shores than citizens who
are on your doorstep. Nobody wants
to see a Czech hungry, but who
wants to see an American hungry?
If you don't think there are ill-fed,
ill-Slothed, ill-taken-care-of Amer
leans, then you are still driving on
an A card and don't get more than
three blocks from your home.
Why is it-and know that eco
nomics can explain this to me
why is it, I say, that when baby is
born in this country he starts life
owing something like $4,000? When
they slap an American baby on the
back to get him to start breathing,
they also whisper in his tiny little
ear: Listen, baby, you are in debt.
You can't see yet and you are the
most helpless thing in the world,
but you owe dough. Get to paying 1t,
son. Get to paying it."
Oh, how I wish I hadn't chosen

talk their language. Instead, when

Boulder Dam. And yet men have
recklessly argued from the floor
of the House (a) that originally
the name was Hoover Dam. and
CD that even If it was not, it was
so named by Congress.
Neither conclusion Is true. And
since both houses Of Congress were
plainly opposed to calling the
structure Hoover Dam, Secretary
OF Interior Wilbur had no right to
go contrary to the clear intent of
Congress as he did when he made
a feeble effort to curry favor with
his boss by referring to it as
Hoover Dam.
On the floor of the House on
March last, Representative Hal
leck, Republican, of Indiana, refer
red to- Mr.. Hoover as the President
who made 1t Boulder Damn
possible I" ;" This is not the
fact. The bill was fought through
the Senate by Senator johnson of
California and through the House
by Representative Swing of the
same State. It was signed by
President Coolidge. President
Hoover was Secretary of Commerce
at the time. However, it was the
Secretary of the Interior, who was
to proceed with the building of
the dam under Congressional man
date.
No Link with Santa Fe Compact.
Mr.. Halleck was right when he
said that, as Secretary Of Interior,
took no official action to change
the name; that issued no order.
It was not necessary to issue an
order. The name continued to be
Boulder Dam after the Congress
had rejected the sycophantic sug-
gestion that it be named Hoover

Chinese Coolies Help

Gathering camel's hair for manu-

worlds curious "by-product' busi-
raesses, points out the National Geo
graphic society.
Central China is the principal
source of cameIs hair imported by
American industrialists The largest
amount normally is shipped from
Che port of Tientsin. Caravans plod-
ding along at two miles an hour in
the region west of Tientsin are fol-
laaued by coolies who pick up fallen
hanks of hair. The yield is particu-
lzRrly good in the spring when the
Garnels are molting A rquantity
generally is found where tthe cara
oan has spent the night.
Occasionally a loosening hunk
is pulled off the camel's hide, but
gr1ly the finest down is regularly
stripped from the animals. Each
camel yields from SIX to seven
pounds fof hair each year. The hair
aa adapted to a number of uses, in
