The Air Force proposes to build

which includes radar warning sys-

More Gas Facilities Needed.
Some indication of the new
polar defense planning came to
light yesterday in the wake of
recent military appropriation re-
quests made to Congress by the
armed forces. Copies of the docu-
ments were made public by the
House Armed Services Committee.
Among other things, these re-
quests and statements made to
explain their necessity showed:
/. The major northern airfleld

Copies of the material released
by the House Committee show the
Air Force has asked for $1,670,-

ceptor stations.
The stations, said the state
ment. should be located within
"one to two thousand miles of
the intended radio signals to be
intercepted"
Radio interception stations are
not a new idea. They were used
during World War II but not at
distances mentioned for the new
stations.

Modern
Marriage
By Dr.. Paul popenoe

Mr.. J. does not understand
women.
"I admit it," he confessed to
me. It can't figure them out.
Take my wife, for instance. She's
good specimen of her sex-far
above the average. I'd say. If you
could listen in on her conversation
for a day. you'd say she was
woman Of quick decision, abso-
lutely sure Of herself. There's
never any hesitation as she tells
me what to do. Whether it's in
her favorite capacity as a back
seat driver or laying down the law
to me about politics, religion, in
ternational affairs or the Nations
banking system, she's always
ready with an immediate, absolute
and final Judgment.
But let her be called on to
make a decision for herself, DR..
Popenoe. She's paralyzed. She'll
make three trips downtown before
she can decide on a hat. She'll
phone her friends and debate the
subject endleSsly before settling
the question of which dress she
will wear.
Why IS she so sure of herself
in one case and so unsure in the
others?"
1T certainly sounds like split
personality" I agreed. "A French
ychologist-and a woman at
that-has just tried to explain
this behavior. She says the female
mind is mainly intuitive. A wom-
an makes decisions on snap judg-
ment without trying to weigh the
consequences as a man would.
Whenever she does feel it nec-
essary to weigh the consequences,
as in the important matter of de-
Gliding what dress to wear. she's
at a standstill. She hasn't the
equipment to reason it out. She
debates endlessly with herself
and falls back on her friends, be-
cause she is at the end of her rope.
Her mental processes are not
adapted to balanced Judgment.
It's intuition-snap judgment-or
nothing. The choice of dress is
too important for snap judg-
ment."
do you really believe that, DR..
Popenoe?"
Tim open-minded. It's a woman
who says so. Maybe we'd better
let the women decide this for
themselves"

German Army Urged
By Nazi Tank Expert
By the Associated Press

BONN, Germany, Aug. 26.-Col
Gen. Leo Geyr Won Schweppen-
burg. a German tank expert who
fought the Allies in Normandy in
1914. proposed yesterday that
West Germany recruit her World
War II veterans for defense
against Communist aggression.
A tall white-haired man with
a clipped Prussian accent, Gen.
Won Schweppenburg had a long
talk with Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer on the chancellor's pro-
posals for establishment of a
West German armed force.
Later he held a news conference
the first conducted by a Ger
man general since 1945-to dis
close these discussions. He con-
tended the "stains on the honor"
of German professional soldiers
should be removed by a call to
duty in the proposed force. He
said he had asked that "oppor-
tunists" be barred.
DR.. Adenauer publicly has de-
manded that West Germany be
given an armed police force of
probably $4,000 men to match
the Communist German army
created by the Russians in the
Soviet zone. He also has ap-
pealed urgently to the United
Britain and France to in
crease their occupation garrisons.
