Exploring the Orinoco

The American Geographical Society has
received a radio message from DR.. Jose M.
Cruxent, director of the Museum of Natural
Science in Caracas, reading: Greetings from
the headwaters of the Orinoco River" If this
means that the expedition sponsored by the
government of Venezuela actually has reached
the source of the great stream referred to, a
notable triumph of man over nature must have
been achieved. The Orinoco is one Of the prob
lem rivers of the world. 1t has defed explora-
tion for five hundred years.
In theory, the stream starts in the Sierra
PARMA near the boundary of Brazil But it may
have many origins in the eastern plains of
Colombia, portions Of which it definitely drains.
The course indicated on the maps shows 1t
moving west by north through the mountains.
Then it turns east, advancing toward the Attain

Slow Reader

SloW kedder
have just read John M. Kauffmanns
article THAT First Thanksgiving Day.
which appeared in The Star November
90
It refers to the Puritans as stern
folks" which undoubtedly they were, and
tells us that the Puritans at Plymouth
were taught to plant corn by the In
dian, Squanto.
Was not the First Thanksgiving Day
an all-Pilgrim affair? Or was the writer
taking the same poetic license that
Longfellow did in his "Courtship of
Myles Standish?" Priscilla was neither
Puritan or Pilgrim, although she came
over in the Mayflower. Myles Standish
and John Alden were not saints" ac-
cording to Saints and Strangers"
And were not the Puritans the settlers
at Salem-not Plymouth?
May the ghosts Of both the Pilgrims
and the Puritans come to haunt Mr..
Kaufman If he again confuses these
two religious sects. Neither of them would
like 1t.
However, enjoyed the article and it
takes its place in my Thanksgiving Day

LONDON.--The initiative in world af-
fairs during 1851 has been almost en-
tirely with the United States. The course
of events during the year was set by
four great decisions taken In Washing
ton. These decisions largely govern the
world outlook for 1852. They have en-
tirely transformed the world situation
These four decisions we're:
/. Not to accept the Chinese inter-
vention in Korea as a challenge to war
with China, but to keep the Korean war
limited to Korea.
2. To embark on a three-year rearrn-
ament program with the aim of giving
America and her allies interchangeable
superiority of power over Russia and her
allies by mid-1953.
3. In the meantime, to give Europe
priority over Asia in American strategic
dispositions and to aim at making Vest
ern Europe secure against. attack BY
mid 1852; and for this purpose. to foster
and support West European rearmament
efforts parallel to that Of America, to
bring Western Germany into the Euro
pean defense community, and to encour-
age European integration.
4. To make peace with Japan, trans
forming her from defeated and con-
trolled enemy into an ally. and to build
an American system of Pacific alliances
based on the island chain of Japan, For
mosa, the Philippines, Australia and
New Zealand.
During 1851, America has almost had
the field to herself in carrying these de-
cisions into reality. Russian reaction, so
far, has been curiously feeble.
Americas own rearmament has made
stupendous progress and by itself has
gone a long way to change the world
balance of power in favor of the West.
American Pacific and Western European
policies have on the whole prospered
during 1851. Altogether, the Western
position has solidifled and the course is
set for real stability in a divided world
by 1858. with the possibility of limited
settlements with Russia. based on the
ratification of recognized positions of
strength" thereafter.
AT home, the new. American world
policy runs counter to several deep
seated American pre-conceptions, the
conception of isolation, the conception

There is common plant. that Christ
mas had got away from us, that it is
too commercialized, and so on, but at
bottom all Of us love it. despite its
failures.
Sometimes one hears complaints that
too many animals are placed on the
cards. Birds. cats, dogs, and so on, and
even horses.
Well. the ancient artists. in depicting
the Christmas story in their great can
vases, used animals and birds, as well
as angels. halos. and the like.
The spirit of Christmas is wide, 1t
should and does include the beasts
whose need Of love is great.
No one can see tiny bird in the snow
without being moved.
Even sparrow haters have been known
to put out slices Of bread for them at
Christmas time.
Just ordinary folks (and we prefer
the plural to the singular) feel the urge
to do something, especially at this sea-
son, for the wild things, the birds and
the animals of the fields and forests.
So many persons have moved into
the suburbs. which only yesterday were
country areas. that they meet, maybe
for the first time In their lives, such
animals as the opossum, and such birds
as the chikadee and titmouSe.
There Is room in the country for all
these creatures. and room in every heart
for them. too.

Electricity and the Atom

Because it has long been known that the
job could be done readily enough there is moth
ing surprising or sensational about the news
that small amounts of electricity have been pro-
duced from nuclear energy at the National Re-
actor Testing Station near Arco. Idaho. But
the experiment, the first of It's kind, is fairly
significant in the sense that 1t serves as a meas
ure of the progress being made toward harness
ing the atoms revolutionary potentialities as
source of power for industrial and other non
military purposes.
AS explained by the Chicago Operations Of
nee OF the Atomic Energy Commission, the ex-
pertinent has been carried out in a purely
Incidental manner in connection with develop
mental work on the breeder" reactor-a guinea
pig project with which our scientists hope to
be able, In due course. to figure out how to build
nuclear furnaces that will produce more fission-
able material Uranium 235 or Plutonium) than
they consume. The electricity test in Idaho has
been conducted merely as kind of sideline to the
main business of this highly important project
But the test, even though only incidental,
has been interesting and useful In the course
OF 1t, the heat energy generated by the breeder
reactor has been carried off by secret LIQUID
metal at temperature high enough to create
steam to drive turbine. The turbine, in turn.
has produced more than 100 kilowatts of electri-
Cal power, ana THIS mas been used to provide
light and operate pumps and other equipment
In the building housing the reactor However,
IN announcing the results, the scientists involved
nave been at pains to emphasize that the ex-
periment-which will be followed by similar ones
in the near future-has not been conducted to
determine the economic feasibility of producing
electricity from atomic sources. The most to
be expected from it is that it should provide
helpful technical information to that end
An even more promising source of such in
formations much more promising SOURCES
the work being done on the atomic submarine
This vesseLwhich in time will almost certainly
be matched on the surface of the sea and in the
airs being developed at fast clip, and it can
hardly fail to speed up the advent of the day
when nuclear energy, like coal, oil, gas and fall
ing water, will be in widespread use as pro-
ducer OF peacetime power for such purposes as
lighting up cities and driving the machines of
industry.
The only real question about this prospect
has to do with how much time will be required
to make 1t materialize on basis as economically
sound as the use of coal or falling water. Our
country'S leading utility companies are suffi-
ciently optimistic to feel that atomic energy.
within the next 20 years or so, perhaps sooner
may well be factor of tremendous Importance
IN meeting the steadily increasing power de-
mands of our constantly expanding economy.
Beyond that, of course, such a new source of
electricity could be employed to work wonders
in the backward areas of the world.

the lower stream, ascending about 100 leagues
in 1872. Baron Alexander Humboldt and Anne
Bonpland spent four months in Venezuela IN
1900 and established a relation between the
main drainage systems of the northern half of
South America. More recent explorers have

belief that victorious war with Russia

accepted both rearmament and foreign

Sense and Nonsense

For reasons which are plain, the Atomic
Energy Commission is conducting research to
determine the effect of atomic radiation on human
beings. For reasons which are equally obvious
1t is out of the question to use human beings in
such research 1t is necessary, therefore to use
animals, especially dogs and cats.
At conference of research scientists in New
York last week, it was revealed that the Govern
ment, through the Atomic Energy Commission,
must pay about $35 head for dogs and $3.50 for
cats. The animals are obtained by somewhat
devious, though not illegal, transaction with
people in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, who
make business of gathering up stray dogs and
cats and selling them to scientific institutions
At the same time, about 100000 stray dogs and
cats are put to death every year in the New York
City pound alone. The scientists are seeking
legislation under which these animals would be
made available by the city pound for scientific
research, under conditions laid down by the
health authorities.
That legislation ought to be approved For
1t is sensible legislation. 1t offers far greater
protection to animals destined to be killed be-
cause they are ownerless and unwanted than the
surreptitious system under which animals are
bootlegged to scientific laboratories Under such
legislation, there is less danger that household
pets will be stolen and sold. And under such
legislation the health authorities prescribe the
conditions under which animal experimentation
Is to be conducted.
The system here in Washington is comparable
with that in New York. Every year about 4,50O
unwanted dogs and more than that number of
cats are put to death at the city pound while
the medical schools and Government research
laboratories must deal with professional dog
catchers in Pennsylvania and elsewhere for their
supply of animals. We need legislation in Wash
ington like that sought in New York

Vandalism at Christmas

Several days before Christmas some
person entered our fenced, six-acre prop
erty and sawed OF an ornamental ever
green growing within so feet Of our
house. Although there Is always little
of this sort Of vandalism every Christmas
season, our county police say they had
steady stream Of similar complaints
this year. Throughout the entire District
of Columbia and surrounding areas
property has been ruthlessly destroyed,
have heard many complaints from all
sections. A tree so acquired can hardly
serve the true Christian purpose.
1t seems pity that INSCRIPTIONS
persons will so willfully destroy persona.
property of others, when, on Christmas
Day. all over the city there are thou
sands Of trees which were cut and
brought in to be sold laying wastefully
on the sidewalks. There are landowners
in our area who have large pine forests
growing wild. Many Of these people
would be glad to permit cutting Of a
tree-h people would only ask permis-
sion.
Newspapers and citizens associations
could make an effort to impress the pub
lie that such destruction of personal
property is criminal. punishable by fine
or jail sentence. Many do not realize
the time, care and expense involved in
planting. tending and growing a tree to
size enough to make a decent showing
Furthermore, here in the country. many
farmers keep loaded shotgun handy
and it is within the law for that shot
gun to be fired at any person vandalizing
personal property.
Let us hope to have less of this de-
struction in the future.
