WHAT 1T MEANS:
SHOWING THE FLAG
By James j. StFebig

WASHINGTON ~ For the first
time in history the United States
is Showing the flag with war
planes instead of warships. Ninety
B-29 superfOrtresses are in Eng
land, ready to show Europe mass
formations they didn't see during
the war. Two more have just swung
around the globe, making a test of
landing facilities which cOnceiv-
ably could be called upon to handle
much larger numbers. (Three start
ed the fight, but one crashed into
the Gulf of Aden) A squadron of
Jet fighters also is in England after
crossing the Atlantic under its own
power, with rs more being sent bv
carrier to be based overseas.
America has been sending planes
on goodwill missions for manv
years. One of the most famous was
Ia circuit of South America in 1927.
But the recent quick trip of 60 Su-
perfOrts to England was hardly a
goodwill" mission. The Air Force

largely built at our expense dur
ing the war an deQuipped to handle
American planes. But airplanes
cannot hope to duplicate the reach
of the Warship for such demOnstra-
tiOns unless based on a carrier.
The reasons are simple: Aircraft
must land, refuel and be serviced
after a relatively short distance.
Accepted international law requires
permission of a country before fly
ing into its aiTspace, particularly
with respect to gOvernment-OWned
planes. By contrast, warships can
steam almost indefinitely without
upon local land facili-
ties. They require permission to
enter a foreign harbOr, but tradi-
tiOh calls for grantin gpermission
even when relations are strained.
Some military observers, noting
this continuous use of naval forces
in European waters in the past year
or two, say that such showing of
might has been an i'm
pOrtant contribution to political
stabilizatiOn in western Europe
and countries bordering the Medi-

Defendant Collects
On Jackpot Question

Hayden j. Smith was a free man
today simply because he had the
right answer to a Municipal Court
jackpot question: Would you or
would you not like to 60 to jail?"
The query came yesterday after
Smith, 26, colored, admitted stealing
ST from his sister, Mrs. Elizabeth
Foster, 1000 block of Fades street
NV, with whom he lives.
The defendants father, Preston
Smith, 2646 Stanton road Sc, told
the court an unfortunate taste for
wine, developed while his son was
with the Army in France, was the
seat of his trouble.
c. D. Arts, defense counsel, sug-
gested Smith be sent somewhere to
get the alcohol out of his system,
/. e., 80 days in Jail.

such an able defense" said Judge
George D. Nelson. What does the
prosecution say?"
There doesn't seem to be much
for me to say at all, your honor"
replied Assistant United States At
torney Robert Short. How does the
defendant feel about it?"
Smiths answer was not long COM
ing.
I'D rather not go to Jail If you
can get around it otherwise" he
said. "I1l try to do better"
Judge Nelson placed the Defend
ant on a years probation.
Il hope you succeed" the jurist
concluded. I'D hate to 60 through

Dr.. Brunetti, Noted Scientist,
Quits u. S. Job Due to Low Pay

DR.. Cledo Brunetti, SO, one of the
worlds foremost electronics engi-
neers, is resigning from the National
Bureau of Standards because he can
no longer afford to live with Uncle
Sans bargain basement pay scale

Three times in the last two years,
DR.. Brunetti has turned down offers
from private industry-the smallest
for $4,000 a year-to remain as
chief of the Engineering Electronics
Section at the bureau.
One of the small group of scien-
fists who developed the radio prox-
unity fuse and the radar-guided
bomb, DR.. Brunetti has surrendered
to the Federal Government "for 81

The Government recognized his

enabled him to earn $10,3 $3.50 a year
Now he gets $500.

DR.. Brunetti, father of two small
children, will leave Washington on
January to become associate direc-
tor of the Stanford Research Insti-
tute at Stanford, Calf. His salary
will be substantially more than
double his Government income.
II hate to leave my work here"
DR.. Brunetti said. Right now we
are striving to develop civilian uses
for the wartime electronic discov-
eries-to utilize in hearing aids, for
instance. The work is fascinating
and useful. DR.. Condor has given
me every encouragement-he is a
wonderful man to work with.
Il suppose if the salary were
higher, would stay. AS I told you
I've had to face this problem be-
fore when I've received offers from
private industry.
Il love research-basic research
and the opportunity to follow such
leads as may develop into broad
fields. Here, in the electronics
section, for instance. we have
broadened out into chemistry,
mechanics and medicine. Because
Of this, I could convince myself
in the past that I should turn

portunity to continue my research

not, in justice to my family, turn
it down."

Tuck Cabinet Member
Denounces Proposal
For State Sales Tax
ey the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 10.-A
member of Gov. Tuck's cabinet,
L. M. Walker, jr, has denounced a
proposed State sales tax for educa-
tional purposes.
Mr.. Walker, State commissioner
of agriculture, said yesterday:
1T is my sincere judgment that
Virginia farmers and all others
should be on guard against in
creased taxes in any form"
His denunciation came at a time
when:
The Executive Committee of the
League of Virginia Counties stood
behind the organizations demand
for a special session of the General
Assembly for the tax's enactment.
An Education Department esti-
mate that localities will need $685.
100000 for school construction in
the next 10 years had met opposi-
ton among State fiscal officers.
Special Session Asked.
Administration opinion appeared
to favor spot check Of several
cities and a number of counties to
see if the 1896, 100000 Is really
needed.
The Prince William County Board
of Supervisors asked Gov. Tuck to
call a special sales tax session of
| the General Assembly to meet
school building costs.
Mr.. Walker said popular opinion
held sales tax would require peo-
pie who pay little or no real estate
or personal property taxes to take
larger share of the States tax
burden. The commissioner said such
family would not only have diff
Guilty meeting the increased taxa
tion-estimated at $l2 per capita
for all persons in the State-but
that people who do the hiring and
have the property will still be car
rying the load."\
Farm Exemptions Not Enough.
Even with exemptions on feed,
seed and fertilizer, a 2 per cent tax
on food. clothing and farm imple-
ments would make farmers sorry
they ever heard of a sales tax" Mr..
Walker said.
The commissioner said he could
not forecast developments in the
Virginia economy, but he believed
recession in prices for farm COM
modities would make all taxes
harder to pay.
He termed the prospective build
ing program for Virginia schools no
different from an individuals put
ting mortgage on his property.
The Executive Committee of the
League of Virginia Counties, mean
while, mailed letter to the Gov
ernor yesterday. 1t contained the
second resolution asking for the
sales tax session the organization
has forwarded to the chief execu-
tive this year. The resolution was
adopted in the Executive Commit
tees first meeting since its election
at Old Point Comfort in October.
G. Tyler Miller, State superin-
tendent of public instruction, has
said he believes the 1896, 900
estimated building program is in
line with actual needs. He has also
said he would favor an administra-
ton check of the localities figures.
