'Ghost|y' Hurricanes
Sweep High Attitudes
100 MPH Winds Detected
In Thin Air 200 Miles Up
By Thomas r. Henry

"Ghostly" hurricanes sweep the high
heavens.
Winds of 100 miles an hour in the
almost non-exiStent atmosphere from
100 to 200 miles above the earth's sur
face have been found in radio reflection
experiments by Bureau of Standards
physicists.
At this height the density Of the air
is about a millionth of what it is at the
earth's surface 1t is closer to vacuum
than the inside of any vacuum tube.
The winds are extremely variable from
hour to hour, according to the bureau
scientists. The scanty gas molecules
which make up the high atmosphere
are heated very rapidly during the day.
largely by the tremendous impact of
ultraviolet light from the sun. At night
they cool off with equal rapidity Thus
great temperature contrasts are set up
which result in the hurricanes.
The region is the ionosphere, the elec-
trical roof of the world, from which
radio signals are reflected back to earth
instead Of escaping to outer space. The
Bureau of Standards expermenters
placed three radio antennas tuned to
slightly different wave lengths side by

atmosphere by the nature of the signals

The work was in charge of Calvin
Salisbury of the bureau staff.
There is a high probability, the ex-
perimenters believe, that thunderstorm
cells are built up in the ionosphere.

The carbon clock of the historical
ages has been "set" by Bureau of Stan
dards physicists.
They have prepared standard samples
OF the exploding isotope of the element
which is the cornerstone of life and
have predetermined it's rate.
Small amounts of Carbon IA, created
in the high atmosphere by the collision
between cosmic rays and nitrogen atoms,
are incorporated in every part of any liv-
ing thing. 1t persists in teeth and bones
after death. BY determining the amount
in human skeleton and comparing it
with the amount which normally is pres
ent In the bones Of living man a fair
estimate OF the time which has elapsed

is more than 1000 years. In this way,
for instance, the age of Egyptian num-
mics has been computed.
1t has been known, in general, that
this exploding carbon had half life of
somewhere around 5000 years. That is,
half of any amount present would blow
up in this time. If skeleton contained
only three-fourths as much as the bones
OF living man it would be fair guess
that $500 years had elapsed since the
owner OF the skeleton died.
One major difficulty has been that
radiations from Carbon IA are quite
weak and not easy for anyone but an
expert to detect. Another has been that
the half-life of the isotope has been
only a rough estimate.
The bureau physicists have now de-
termined this half life as very close to
5000 years, about 20 per cent higher
than the figure generally accepted in the
past. This may force a considerable re-
vision of estimates already published.
They also have prepared standard
sample by which all other radiation
counting mechanisms can be calibrated.

preventive War" Held Best Course:
"Rid Horizons of the Red Shadow"

preventive War" Held Best Course:
"Rid Horizons of the Red Shadow"
We Americans have always pointed
with pride" to the fact that we have
never as a Nation been an aggressor in
a war with a foreign country. That is
highly commendable. Morally speaking,
it is one very good reason why the United
States maintains national integrity.
However, integrity-along with all our
other collective virtues will avail us
little when we're getting acquainted with
picks and shovels to the accompaniment
of Cossack horsewhips. There's no need
to remind intelligent Americans how
near to a possibility this really is.
A prolonged cold war will only mean
a continuing drain on our resources.
especially when the economic and po-
litical sabotage carried on by the SoVletS
is accelerated by the voluntary but some
times misplaced charity of the United
States. The cold war will keep the
Western nations constantly in a state
of suspense and upheaval that is tanta-
mount to slow death.
All Russia has to do is sit back, keep
needing us, send out agents to spread
suspicion and diSsension and wait Tor
the United States and her Western allies
to exhaust themselves.
Let Americans consider every aspect
of living for the next 10 years or more
under the predatory shadow OF commu-
nism-while slowly and inexorably being
brought closer to national serfdom.
Considered in the light of the even
tual well-being of the entire world,
wouldn't it be worthwhile abandoning,
temporarily, few of our "inopportune"
virtues? All Western Nations should take
aggressive action now against the IN
sidious evil that threatens each one OF
us. Events of the past three years have
conclusively proven that democracy and
communism cannot exist together on the
same planet World communism must be
annihilated if there is ever to be peace
and freedom. This fact is -inescapable.>
Painful though it is to contemplate, a
preventive" war is the only alternative
to the unrelenting encroachment OF uni
versal slavery. Most important OF ALL we
must prepare at once to strike while we
are still comparatively strong.
The leaders of another aggressive war
of the past. the Crusades, have been
hailed down through the ages as heroes
of Christendom Which all goes to prove
that high purpose and aggressive war;
fare are not irreconcilable. It must also
be conceded that much more is at stake
in these times than in the times OF the
Crusades.
We need a positive foreign policy and
we need it fast: A foreign policy that
will provide for CO operation with all
Western nations to take immediate. de-
cisive, aggressive action to rid our ho-
rizonS of the Red shadow.

But Who Pays for the Poorhouses?
Overburdened American taxpayers are
getting humps on their backs due to the
great load placed on them by the Gov
ernment which, during the war and
after, has spent 265 billion dollars This
huge amount represents more than the
combined debts of all the other nations.
I would suggest that the New Deal
build 48 poorhouses to receive citizens
made destitute as the result Of the Gov
ernment's wild taxing and spending.

The women converged on the

The housewives said they had
appealed TO the city council on
Monday. On Tuesday and again
yesterday, they said, the parade of
cement-bearing trucks moved out
of the rail yards-casting gray
pail over the neighborhood.
It reached a point, the women
said, where they couldn't even

teeth with tasting cement.
They won their point. City
councilmen instructed the con-

And meanwhile, work on the

They had asked to be served as a
