THE BOMBING of Lieut.. Gill

FLIES INTO KOREA

With the capture of Kimpo airfield.
near Seoul. the Air Force Is operating an
airlift from Japan TO supply critically
needed supplies and technical personnel
daily. -
The operation IS similar 10 the Berlin
airIift which whipped the Russian block
ade. The distance Is much farther than
that IN Germany but many Of the officers
who directed the Berlin operation are on
hand to keep the aerial transports moving.
During the first four days Of the oper-
alton, 1887 tons Of supplies and 604 pas
sengers were flown from Japan into
Kimpa airfield. During the same period.
BIB wounded were evacuated TO Japan.
While the carrying Of cargoes TO Kimpo
Is important, the quick disqualification
that results from the reverse flights is.
credited with saving the lives Of wound
ed soldiers daily.
Airmen point out that the Air Force
Is now applying the lessons learned in the
cold war" during the Soviet blockade
Of Berlin Moreover, they say that the
new technique is something like those"
with the nozzle at Kimpo airfield but
that, If conditions required it, the nozzle
could be turned toward Formosa. the

INTERPRETING THE CONSTITUTION


The No. job" of all Americans, acs
cording to a speaker observing Constitu-
ton Day, is to know the Constitution
and understand It."
This IS a large order. The nation is
crammed with lawyers. considered to be
experts on the subject of constitutional
law, and the disagreements that arise are
about as numerous as the agreements.
In addition, the nation has thousands
and thousands of jurists, many Of whom
disagree as TO exactly what the Constitu-
ton means While there is general APP
probation of the rights of man. recogniz-
ed in the Constitution. the application of
constitutional principles to modern con-
ditiOns remains a problem.
It is readily admitted. for example.
that such phrases as interstate COM
merce. due process. and others, have a
much broader meaning and greater i'm
plication than they did one hundred, or
even fifty. years ago The power of the
Federal government has been greatly
increased by the elastic Interpretation Of
certain phrases by the courts of the land.
While the amendment of the Constitu-
ton is not so easy. the same result is
achieved when judges alter accepted in
terpretations to make specific sections
cover whatever case they happen to have
under consideration.

On Coins

tibrsrion. American kvmismotie Association
Queries indicate there still are
many Of the old large blanket"
type banknotes still in existence.
Many correspondents think merely
because these old large size notes
no longer are in circulation, that
all have premiums. This is not
necessarily true.
ALI collectors want the best pos
sible specimens for their collec-
tions, with items showing as little
wear as possible. Paper money
collectors. called rag pickers" by
other numismatists. are 'particu-
larly touchy about this.
Many of the rag pickers will not
possess a note that is not clean
and crisp. They generally must
be increased. Such notes are not
as scarce as one might think.
The Federal Government has
been issuing paper money only
since 1852 and specimens of the
first series can be obtained con-
stantly from scores Of dealers.
Prices start at $6 or 81 for the
first greenbacks in fine condition.
Persons who have old notes they
wish to preserve as heirlooms can
keep them in better condition by
observing q few simple rules. The
notes should not be folded. They
should be kept in moisture proof
envelopes and not touching or
near rubber or leather. If such
notes are kept in safety deposit
boxes. they should be inspected
every two or three months so
that the owner will note any
early sign Of deterioration. due
to lack Of air. Just opening the
safety deposit box every few
months may prevent this deter
ioration. A note that has been
creased but is not yet broken may
be improved by holding it under
q warm iron.
The small-sized notes have been
circulated only since 1929 and the
Government has saved millions
Of dollars in paper costs by using
the smaller notes.

Low Water Nav
Cause Illness
In Farm Stock

Make sure that farm ponds do
not become reservoirs of livestock
diseases during summer dry
spells" livestock owners were ad-
vised today.
An American Foundation for
Animal Health bulletin points
out that low water levels and con-
tamination of farm ponds may
cause much sickness among farm
animals and bring heavy losses
to the owner.
Stale pond water may bring
about, or intensity, coccidioSis,
stomach and nodular worms,
mouth sores, algae poisoning and
scours." the bulletin says.
This happens so often that
veterinarians sometimes refer to
these problems as stale pond di-
SeaSeS."
Another dangerous condition
arises when ShorelineS recede due
to lower water levels, Founda-
ton authorities said. Cattle walk
in the soft mud, leaving holes and
sharp ridges which later harden
when exposed to the sun and air.
Veterinarians have found that
this 'washboard' ground is a SER
ious hazard to the animals feet, F"
the bulletin said. 1T may easily
cause cuts and bruises. Germs
lurk in stagnment water, thus
