Mr.. Berger's home address, the
board said, is four blocks over the

Aviufion Safety Discussions
The Office of Aviation Safety
D. M. G1etzer

The Office of Aviation Safety
 Alaskan pilots have carved a well deserved niche in the halls of pilot fame for integrity, re- sourcefulness, ability and pas senger safety. They have found ed and developed a transporta- ton system so widespread that the very economy of the Terri tory leans heavily upon them. Many of them have responded generously in passing safety hints on to us for inclusion in these discussions. We are grate- full for the response, and are thus encouraged to continue passing on the information for the benefit of all who may find the information useful NIGHT FLYING
 Sad indeed are a c d e n which result from the pilot getting in over his head' into situation which he cannot handle And sadder still is the lot of his passenger who can do nothing but hope and pray. The night flying accident is in this category.
 Factors Involved
 1. Lack of lights on the sur face.
 2. Lack of sky light due to an overcast and no moon light.
 3. Unwittingly flying in t 0 precipitation or clouds. Results
 The results are uniformly the same. The pilot loses reference to a horizon, and lacking proper instruments or the ability to use them, loses control of the airplane.
 Suggestions
 Unless the pilot is able to fly by instruments, and the air plane is properly equipped, he should confine night flying to areas where surface lights are visible at all times.
 He should not fly cross-coun- try unless there is sufficient re- flected light from the moon to see cloud formations and areas of precipitation at all times dur ing the flight.

Two mammals new to Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee and North Caro- lima, were found late in 1850 in the Tennessee section of the park at an elevation of 3,7OO feet. One was the water shrew, the other the long-tailed shrew. Both were captured on the same night and less than 50 feet apart. Neither of these small mammals had been found previously south of West Virginia.

dustrial Development Co.
to coordinate all agencies Of
government affecting new in
dustry. and to drum up business.
The other is a planning board
to provide for locations, hous-
ing, and to help newcomers get
established.
The main goal has been to
create 10000 new jobs a year,
Or 100000 by 1860, by bringing
in new industries. In the be-
ginning, there was to be no
picking and choosing. AS Gov.
Munoz put it: Under the
present circumstances, the best
type of industry for Puerto
Rico is any industry"
The ambitious goal has not
been realized. Considerable
progress has been made, to be
sure-to date 140 completely
new tax-exempt businesses are
in operation in Puerto Rico.
But a number that were started
up have already closed down.
There still continue to be many
inquiries. and the situation may
improve. The total number Of
people employed in new in
dustries. however, was only 1853
as of December 81. 1850.
Turnover Excessive
One of the largest single
manufacturing concerns to be
set up under the plan is the
Textron Cotton Mill, which at
present employs 5s4 people. Few
Of the other companies employ
more than 100 people each, and
some as few as 8 or 10.
There are many reasons for
the comparative slow progress
technical. economical and hui
man. According to some opera
tors, costs are greater than they
had anticipated, and thee are
even more labor difficulties than
encountered at home. Local
wages, of course, are still low
compared with those on the
mainland. But factors like IN
efficiency and low output tend
to cancel out the wage break.
According to q report recently

money value steadies, and peo-
pie don't have to seek sounder
foreign money.
Again-what has all this got
to do with the economic success
or failure of Red China? Some
say lot, some say not much.
Production and consumption
tonnage, availability of needed
goods at reasonable prices
these are the common yard
sticks, not the value of foreign
money The Reds don't say
much about these production
and consumption figures.
At least a dozen foreigners
from inside China have told me
in the last two months that you
can still live fat and fair on a
few greenbacks in Red China,
regardless of that $4,000 quota
ton. Things are dirt cheap in
terms of United States dollars.
Pay Checks Are Small
Chinese also have tolds me in
the last couple months that they
couldn't support themselves on
their pay checks in Red China.
"A paycheck in Red China is still
described as it was Is months
ago-"enough for self but MOTH
ing for homeSide." The answer
then and now is-working wives,
working children, disappearing
savings, sale of possessions.
The excellent job the Commu-
niSts have done in restoring
transportation, especially rail-
roads. has helped them greatly
in price control. Commodities
can be more readily moved from
one place to another now and
there are fewer localized short
ages and excesses.
The Reds say that they have
controlled the prices of essen
tials. From information avail
able, they seem to have done it
in cases of food in large cities,
although from the very start
their pegged prices were too
high IN comparison to their
pegged wages. But Ghey made
the prices stick. and even dur
ing the Korean war rice went up
only a little in the cities.
That has not been so true In
the villages and hinterlands.

submitted to the Government
by the Textron Co., the average
hourly pay at their plant in
Ponce is 43 cents. although
some employees receive as much
as rs cents an hour. All work.
ers have to be specially trained
for the job. which takes time.
Yet in 1850, the turnover of en-
ployes was 81 per cent. Electric
power costs more than twice as
much as in samilar plants in the
United States. Output per work.
man Is much less than on the
mainland.
Temperament Conflicts
Everybody gives credit for
: security and honesty to Gov.
Munzo and the group of agency
men handling the program. But,
unfortunately, very few of them
grew up as businessmen. The
majority were young lawyers
who started out in politics in
the golden era of the New Deal.
The job of organization and
supervision of business and in
dustrial enterprises is as new
to them as factory machines are
to the workers.
Difference in temperament be-
tween the Latin and the North
American is a trouble-making
factor in the operation of new
enterprises in Puerto Rico.
The gruff Yankee industrialist
does not wear striped pants or
kid gloves. He often rubs Off
cials and workers the wrong
way. He finds it hard to get
used to the fact that, like all
Latins, the Puerto Ricans are
legalists. They take a perverse
delight in begging a business
down in a slough of labor reg
ulations. municipal and other
legal technicalities. Their IA
vorite between two points is the
longest way around.
Puerto Rico may still succeed
in its admirable drive to lift
itself by the .bootstraps into
solvency. But the needed pull
is beginning to look like a long
and hard one.

Red Chino Economy Looks Good on Phony Busis

HONG KONG.-The Chinese
Communists claimed from Pei
ping recently that their national
economy was sounder than
Americas. AS proof of this.
they pointed out that the United
States dollar had lost value on
the Red money market.
On July 4, one United States
dollar would buy 22,270 Com
muniSt dollars in most China
cities. Eighteen months ago, in
Shanghai. it bought $4,000 of
them.
Financial and commercial
people here are doubtful wheth-
er the quotation on the United
States dollar in Red China has
much to do with the economic
condition there. 1t means there
isn't any demand for United
States dollars. That can mean
that conditions are very bad
indeed.
The Reds succeeded in ending
the printing press imitation
which Chang Kai-shek failed
to do, and they did it fairly
quickly. Every one agreed that
was a step toward a sound
economy. But it was by no
means the only step needed.
And In trying to take some of
the other steps, the Reds seem
to have fallen on their faces.
The strength of its money in
relation to foreign monies is not
an adequate measuring stick of
a nations soundness, econo-
mists say. At the moment,
China retains only a small per-
centage of the overseas trade
she used to have. A lot of it is
barter trade-that is, she pays
for it with produce of her own
and no money is involved.
China doesn't need many dol
lars to pay for goods bought
abroad. So there Is no trade
demand for dollars. So the ex-
change rate, controlled or free,
stays down.
Factories Are Idle
Does that mean firmer econ
omy? It means she has man
aged, by exercising firm con-
trols. to create a favorable bal
ance of trade for the moment,
despite the fact that she needs
more than she produces. For ex-
ample, at the moment every cot

Its style is atrocious, as If the
editors had studied every means
of making it as difficult as possible
to read. 1t is full of stock phrases
and dotted literally with outland-
ishly adoring words about Stain.
as if the words had been sprinkled
in from salt-shaker.
The phrase "as, is known" pops
up regularly. This phrase is used
to introduce any outrageous lie
Pravda happens to be concerned
with.
But for all this, Pravda is prob
ably the most powerful and most
feared newspaper in the world. 1t
pipes the tune to which all the
Soviet press must dance. It lays
down the law Of the Communist
Party, which rules 200 million
souls. It pronounces sentence on
straying Communists. Saddest OF
all for Pravda. not even its own
editors are safe. They may feel
the AK just as well as the next

Everything that goes into Pravda

to hide its real meaning, so that
none but schooled Communists
can understand.

words which explain it's power:

stand for Moscow Committee"
and "All Union Communist Party

ging and scolding of columns /

a letter to Stain. The approach
to this is always the same. The

Operation Bootstrop' EvoIuoted
Puerto Ricun Bid
For Industry Behind
In Performance
BY kdword Tomlinson

SAN JUAN. P. R.-Ths honey
moon OF Gov. Luis Munox
Marin's Operation Bootstrap"
In Puerto Rico Is over. This
bold economic plan-that prom
ised to solve the chronic un-
employment problem, increase
the income and eventually, per-
haps. balance exports with i'm
ports in the crowded island Of
% million people-has reached
the stage where it must be
judged, not by promises, but by
actual performance.
Operation Bootstrap" was
brilliantly conceived, and in
theory still is to many people a
plausible idea. Many a foreign
country. since World War II,
has learned to lean on the
United States for economic as
sistance. But the first elected
Governor of Puerto Rico, an
island Territory Of our own,
dared to say to his people, in
effect, that Uncle Sam does not
owe them a living. Although the
island has never been self
supporting, Munoz frankly ad-
mitted that it would be more
likely to improve it's situation If
the local government, business

culean effort to help themselves.
Advantage for Industry
The theory of the plan was
that an island with too many
people could not continue to
live by agriculture alone. A
distinctly socialistic program of
doing away with big estates and
dividing the land into small
tracts, previously sponsored by
Washington itself, would not
work. There would not be
enough land in the first place.
In the second place, the pro-
duction Of sugar, the islands
principal export, would be hard
hit. Industrialization seemed
to offer the best hope for Great
ing new jobs, new income and
new exports.
Puerto Rico could offer many
advantages to mainland manu-
facturers. 1t could offer
abundant and cheap labor.
Transportation of products to
the populous Eastern seaboard
by water would be cheaper than I.
by rail from the Midwest. Pro-
duction costs would be lower all
around. There would be no
tariffs because Puerto Rico is a
part of the United States. More
important still. since Puerto
Ricans pay no taxes to the
Federal Government, new enter
prises could be offered local
income, property and municipal
tax exemptions for a period of
time.
An organization was set up
consisting of various boards Or
commissions to promote the
program. The two principal
bodies thus created are the In
