nNE of the more gruesome threats to the happiness
~ of guests is the overhospitabe host. Everybody
has met him: the well-meaning extrovert who can't
relax until his guests have drunk more Martins
than they want; who pushes last undesired bit of
tenderlon onto your plate, and can't imagine that any,
body would say mo, thank your and mean it.
At midnight, when the guests have finished a
sleepy "one last rubber" and consumed superfuous
highbal - one for the road" - your overanxious
host has new idea why drive all that way home
when it's so late? You sleep here and go home in the

rounded by lacrosse sticks and stuffed snakes Come
morning, your host probably insists that you inspect
the garden eat three eggs and hang around till you have
to sneak into your Office at 10:l2.
HE trouble with the overanxous host is his lack of
imagination He has conception of the rage expert
enced by guest trapped into doing something he
doesn't want to do 1t doesn't him that guests
seldom starve for lack of urging by hosts that most
visitors have rough idea of when to go home.

Rose Bowl Hills

Uranium Deposits
By the ASsoeiafsd Press

PASADENA, Calf, July IL
The Arroyo Seco. in which stands
Pasadena'S famous Rose Bowl,
may be loaded with uranium. the
stuff used in atom bombs.
You can drive up the big gulch
with a Geiger counter and listen
to incessant bombardment by beta
and gamma rays, says Research
Engineer Henry Kinslow.
Mr.. Kinslow disclosed yesterday
that he, his wife and several
friends filed mining claims on
1,700 acres of Arroyo Seco land
in February, 1949. They sent %
pounds of ore to the Atomic En-
ergy Commission for study.
The Acc replied that prelimi-
nary test indicated further ex-
animation was warranted. A final
report was promised, but Mr..
Kinslow says he hasn't received it
yet.
I'VE believe there are sub
surface veins of good stuff here"
he declared. However, the Rose
Bowl is in no immediate danger.

F-SO Pilots Laud Jets,
Say Yak Is No Match;
Fly Sfrafing Missions
By Don Huth
Associated Press foreign Correspondent

TOKYO, July 24.-Eager young
Americans who have been flying
F-80 jets in rocket and Strafing
attacks on North Korean Com
munists are high in their praise of
the swift Shooting Stars.
They should know. Operating
from bases in Japan they've been
screaming down on Red troop con-
centrations, blasting tanks, trucks
and military equipment: helping
Allied planes rule the Korean skies
since the war began.
They've ranged over Korea from
daylight to dark under all kinds of
flying conditions The Russian
built Yak-3 fighters have proved
no match for the F-8O.
Listen to 1t. Robert A. Coffin, of
indianapolis, tell about the Yak
he knocked out of the sky:
II was cruising around on the
deck (at a low altitude) looking
for tanks, when I heard some of
our bombers call for cover. Two
YakS were after them.
First Yak on First Burst.
"They were 20 miles away, and
high, but when I poured on the
coal the distance between US folded
like an accordion. I got the Yak
on the first burst, coming straight
in from behind. The other Yak
didn't stay around to argue. I'm
plenty satisfied with what the P-80
will do-I've got proof"
1t. Albert B. Works of Dallas,
who flew B-29 Superfortresses dur
ing World War II, has two tanks,
five trucks and a warehouse
chalked up in his Shooting Star
box score.
Its q long way from four en-
gines to one jet pipe" Works says,
''but I'm a happy man since I've
made the switch. The 80 is my
baby"
Capt. William Locke of Enfield,
N. c., picked up a Distinguished
Flying Cross and Air Medal with
clusters flying FATS over France
in World War II. (The FAT is the
Thunderbolt fighter, then known
rs a PAID
"AS much as I loved the old
Thunderbolt, it's not even a patch |
on the pants of an F-80," as Capt. |
Locke sees it. I've added three
tanks to my score under condi-
tions where I'm convinced
couldn't have got them except
with jet"

The testimony of the jet pilots
added to the confidence in the
F-80 expressed last week by 1t.
Gen. George E. Stratemeyer. COM
mander of the Far East Air Forces.
Defending the Shooting Star
against its critics, Gen. Strate-
meyer said the F-80s had flown
70 per cent of all Air Force combat
sorties over Korea and accounted
for IS per cent of North Korean
vehicle and materiel losses.
Gen. Stratemeyer said probably
the only type of combat mission
the F-80 hasn't performed over
Korea is high altitude intercept
tion-the task for which it was
designed.

Inquiry Into State
OF U. 5. Preparedness
BY the Assoeiassd Press

Congress members called on top
military leaders today for an ap-
praiSal of the Nations fighting
readiness and an accounting of the
billions spent on defense since
1947.
AS lawmakers pushed emergency
measures which would hasten the
country toward virtual war foot
ing, the House Armed Services
Committee launched a closed-door
inquiry into the state of prepared
ness.
Chairman VinSon said in ad-
vance that the big question Penta-
gon planners viii be asked is:
What have the armed forces to
show for the $48 billion they have
been allotted in the past four
years?
The committee led of today
with Admiral Sherman chief of
naval operations. He will be fol-
lowed on Wednesday by Gen.
Vandenberg, Air Force chief of
staff.
On Friday the committee has
called Secretary of the Army Pace,
Gen. Collins, Army Chief of Staff
and 1t. Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther,
Deputy Chief of Staff for Plan
ming.
For security reasons their testi-
mony will not be heard publicly.
But Mr.. Vinson told reporters the
Nation will be Informed on essen
tial details.
Before the outbreak Of the
Korean fighting House and Senate
committees were working on a
1851 budget of approximately $13
billion. So President Truman'S
request for an additional SO bill
lion will likely bring the 1851 de-
fenSe budget to $23 billion.
United States difficulties in Ko-
rea-especially as they reflect a
seeming inadequacy in equipment
appear likely to touch off criti-
cal demands for an accounting by
the military.
Mr.. Vinson limited there are a
number of matters he is interested
in: What about the Army's tank
program? What is the Air Force
doing about close tactical support
of ground troops? Where's the
Marine Corps aviation? What is
the status Of the Navy's feet
wing?
"Supercarrier" May Come Up.
The committee also expects to
earn from Admiral Sherman de-
,ails of the Navy's mobilization |
Mr.. Vinson limited that the
committee may want to hear more
about the need of a new super
carrier"
While the Vinson group weighed
the Nations readiness, House and
Senate sped toward completion
two measures to expand the armed
forces.
One bill lifts the present statu-
tory ceiling on personnel strength,
and the other authorizes the
to hold members of the
armed forces one year beyond the
normal expiration of their enlist
nents. &
The one-year extension bill
whipped through the Senate FRI
lay. Both measures arc slated for
Iuick. passage by the House to-
morrow.

Politics Versus Craftsmanship

Most Marylanders, including many of the
veterans themselves, will approve of the death OF
veterans bonus legislation at the short session
of the Assembly. Not so praiseworthy, however
was the manner in which the legislation was
killed.
This being an election year, it was not sur
prising that the Legislature had an eye cooked
toward the veterans vote as it considered the
bonus bills. It was hardly because of the inner
most urgings of craftsmanship that everybody
seemed bent on getting on record in favor of
doing something for the veterans" In the rush
to get on the bonus band wagon both the Senate
and the House passed bonus bills without adequate
consideration OF the issues. The Senate bill had
no provision for financing the SIPS million hand
out. The House tackled on a one-cent sales tax
increase only after Governor Lane had indicated
he would veto any bonus bill that contained no
means of raising the money for payment.
There is reason to believe that many of
those who voted for these bills hoped that the
Assembly would adjourn before enactment was
completed. That is just what happened. It is a
discreditable way Of legislating, however, and
those who were afraid to face the bonus issue
more courageously and more honestly have little
to be proud of in their performances.
