ON TRIP WITH ROBERTS

Do you like to go places, meet interesting people? Then go along on a trip that the Keith Roberts just returned from last weekend, that is, a week from yesterday
 Leaving here Nov. 5, the couple began a vacation from duties, on the Princess Louise, enroute to Se- attle. Of course, health came first, 50 clinical check-up were taken in Seattle and the green light was turned on for both.
 From thence by train to Spo- zane where they began their auto trip which took them nearly 5000 miles, going first to Moscow, Idaho, shen to Golden, Colorado, where they spent 10 days getting ac- quainted with two grandsons, Da- vid Keith and William M. Roberts, sons of Major David Roberts, eldest son of the Roberts. Both grandsons were born since the Roberts arriv- ed in Alaska.
 From Golden they went to Col orado Springs, Salida, Colo, Albu- uuerque, New Mexico and Fl Paso, Texas. Leaving the car there, they tcok an American Airlines DC-6 to Mexico City, and then to Taxco, noted for it's silver smithing and mining and Spratling, it's founder.
 At Taxco the Roberts, who be- came close friends with William Spratling when he was connected with the Interior Department work in Alaska several years ago, were guests at his ranch, which is the work shop for the Mexican stu dents in their silver designing, and which has become quite famous during the past few years. Here they enjoyed most delightful cli- mate with temperatures of over 90 degrees in the areas adjacent to mining properties, which Roberts found interesting and quite active again.
 Heading back to the States, the couple visited shortly at Douglas, Arizona, and then dropped in at the D-baC Ranch at Bonita, Ariz., where they spent Christmas with the Dick Calkins of Buck Rogers

HOW TO LOSE A WAR"

In late issue Of a. :. News a World
Report. David Lawrence has a long edi-
toTial on the national defense. Its alarming
and aceurate-title is How To Lose
War" II deals in large part. with our pres
ent tendency to put all our egg in the Air
Force basket. on the theory that Dig bomb
ers carrying the A-bomb aud other adj
vanced weapons can decide a war by them
selves
That theory was held by some during
the last war. and Il was proved wrong n
we should adopt Il and il should be proved
wrong once more as everyone except
Air Force partisans think il viii 49, this
country could be placed in a desperate
and perhaps an impossible position.
Mr.. Lawrence chooses as an example
the decision Of the Secretary Of Defense 10
abandon the construction Of very large
aircraft carrier by the Navy. though this
ship. which he says would be unsinkable
had twice been approved BY Congress and
the President. Then he says: 1t isn't mere
~ the desire of the Navy 70 build partiC-
ular type Of ship that Is the heart Of the
controversy. The basic principle Al issue Is
whether the Navy can ran the Navy aud
the Air Force can run the Air Force and
the Army can run the Army" Modern
naval experts are convinced that In fu-
ture war the carrier. which would give us
mobile bases throughout the world, would
be the principal offensive weapon. The
Air Force zealots are telling the Navy what
direction Us developments shall take. re-
gardless Of the views OF the men who by
experience aud training are best able 60
Judge what Is wise and necessary.
On the solution q this issue. the life
Of the country may some day depend. And
that Is what gives the carrier controversy
a significance indefinitely greater than
whether some ship or other u to be built.
