WHERE'S RICHARD?

r
 Mrs Richard Morrow-Tait of Cambridge England is flying around the world in little airplane.
 She is accompanied on this journey by named Michael Townsend referred to in the press dispatches as her navigator
 Mrs Morrow-Tait so the story goes learned to fly on weekends Neither she the reporters who have fol- lowed her progress since she and her navigator left Eng land last August have been able to make it clear exactly what she is trying to prove in flying around the world in the British Proctor equivalent of a Piper Cub.
 cant be to demonstrate that aviation has made the world small that fly around it in little airplane.
 The fact that she has navigator most cer- tanly is also licensed pot-with her obviates that distinction
 That little arpane fly around the world in lei surely fashion has already been proved by couple of Americans, George Truman and Clifford Evans.
 Mrs MorrowTait stated in Japan that she wanted to prove that she could fly from Hokkaido to Shemya distance of 1778 miles, unescored by planes of the U S. Air Force, the way Truman and Evans were.
 The Air Force of course would not permit this know ing that the cost of search would be several times the expense involved in sending plane or two afo to keep constant check on the position and safety of the little British Proctor. As happened, Mrs Morrow-Tait arrived at Shemya with dead radio and five gallons of gasoline thereby disprovng her contention that perfectly safe to try the North Pacific hop all alone
 The objective of showing that anyone with little air. plane of his take off and spend the summer va- cation flying the world-if that was in the mind of the young woman-had already been nufied. In Calcutta lidia, Mrs. MorrowTat and her navigator sat around for seven weeks waiting for repair parts. Up to this moment Mrs Morrow-Tait, while win ming worldwide noorety has added little to the public appraisal of aviation mad to the stature of women fers many of whom in and peace have brought import ant contributions to the air age
 She has, on the other hand, caused furrowed brows among authorities of air forces throughout the world who feared the possibility of loss of military planes and pilots in search and rescue operations MOrrOW-Tait hac hoop bocio she and her navigator have stopped to refue But on question which nobody seems to have asked: Where's Richard-Mr. Morrow-Tat ] Presumably he is home in Cambridge mindng baby

 Communists took over complete control today of the Berlin City Hall.
 The United States, Britain and France, which jointly occupy Ser lin with Russia, served this notice in the United Nations security council efforts to mediate the Rus sian blockade of the city:
 The three western powers can not agree that hey should ne bound to submit to all Soviet rnea- sures which add to and intensity the Soviet blockade or which in- terfere with the city adminis-ra- ton, while he Soviet remains un- committed to any restraint"
 Berlin City Hall is in the aus- sian zone.

New impetus for the United States to develop grains, fruit sand vegetables capable of flourshng in attitudes of extreme frgidty comes from report issued by the Russian embassy at Washington D. C.
 The Russian report claimed that Soviet experts have made major step toward solving the problem of food supply for bases established north of Arctic Circle
 The embassys weekly information bulletin said a winter wheat crop being harvested this year in north Siberia which will yield from to 26 bushels to the Fruit trees covering 45 900 Siberian ported to be yielding plentfully in land where fruit trees unknown few years ago Soviet experiment also is laimed to have developed growing potato capable of producing in the Arctic
 The report from the embassy follows other informa- tion which has indicated active program of experi mentaton in northern Siberia Experimental farms dot the reaches of Siberia and the meager information coming out from behind the iron curtain hints that the Russians far ahead of the Americans in this line of endeaVor
 clared that Russia has developed 54 varieties of wheat which grow in the Arctic. The United States has still to develop its first variety.
 Instead of dotting the north with experimental farms the United States has confined its programs to two sta tions-at Fairbanks and Matanuska. Indeed, these programs of such recent origin Federal projects that it is too soon to expect results.
 The attitude of the Russians toward the Arctic agr- cultural problems has been consistently aggressive period of It is in marked contrast to that of the United States which demonstrated within the last year two when the governor of Alaska called the Secretary of Agriculture for the purpose of discussing agricultural program for the Territory
 t'I am sorry won't have time to consider program in Alaska because about to leave for Mexico develop an agricultural program there," the governor told.
 Thus it that the United States gives Alaska inferior priority for attention problem which rates top place for continuous Soviet attention
 Development of foodsufs that be produced in the Arctic is important because it is from air bases within the Arctic Circle that attacks against industrial centers of the United States expected to be launched if should occur.
 The ability of the Arctic regions grow food requr ed for these bases would greatly simplify the problem of supply
 The Russian claims regarding the development of food crops suited for the northern regions carry both hope and warning to the United States Alaska is the part of American territory that nearest to Russia and the outpost from which attack from that direction would have to bedefended or countered
 The lack of adequate transportation facilities in Alas ka faces military experts with critical supply problems if any substantial number of troops based in the area
 American emulation of the Russians in developing food crops adapted to the northern climate would vastly diminish the magnitude of this problem
 What Russian biological science has done American science surely duplicate The result would be

Italy's Communists Fail
(NeW York Tines)


 The effort of the Italian Communists to use the attempted assassination of their leader by young Sician nationalist to precpitate a political crisis that might have led "a few months ago. to armed revolt apparently has failed The Italian workers and people refused to see in the act of young madman sufficient for overthrowing government that they had elected by large majority only few weeks ago. The de Gasper Governments own firmness in dealing with tine potentially dangerous situation con- trbuted greatly to the quick return to normal life
 If Pamiro Togliatti should not recover from his wounds outbreaks of violence probably can be expected but the danger of a real uprising seems to have passed And attempted uprising It was. Characterization of the Communist ncitation by the Government as an "act Of insurrecton correctly in terpres believe the intent of Togliatis followers Communism breeds best in a period of confusion and disorder It the credit of the Italian people that the general strike called by the Communst-conroled General Confederation of Labor petered out quickly and the Communst-ncted riots staged in the cities were not more bloody than they The sooner the labor unions break the Communist hold the better it will be for them. and for Italy Political strikes never strengthened legitimate union. It is not the democratic way.

Washington Post)


 The death of Miss Caroe Lands (nee Ridste) under circumstances strongly indicative of suicide affords another melancholy comment on the cult of eam our of which she eminent prestess and which for good many years has had the proportions of a major industry in these United States. In it's original context of course the word glamour" was associated with various evil arts and, as Mir Ivor Brown has pointed out there time when to acc,,se woman of being gamorous was almost like having her burned at the stake.
 But in poor Miss Landis glamour meant mainly a blonde complexion legitimatelv inherited from Slavic and Scandinavian ancestors and mod crate hypertrophy of the mammary glands especially noticeable wben her professional costume included, it usually did, close fitting sweater The peculiar attraction of the particular anatomical type repre- sented by Miss Landis and many other Hollywood celebrities for the American male animal has been the subject of much curiosity and investigation by foreigners Various explanations have been offered among the recent and plausible of which is that of the English anthropologist, MT. Godfrey Gorer.
 There is reason, however, to believe that Miss Landis a victim of the very illusion she to create She first married at the age of IS and had had four husbands in IA years At the time of her death another divorce was pending and the Hollywood gossip, which, in these matters at least is usually accurate, speculatng the probabilities of fifth marriage Thus the basis of this evidence seems fair enough to surmise that, like many of her compatriots, Miss Landis believed she had been promised happiness in every box, and having opened many boxes without finding it had surrendered to despair.
