doubled and trebled. Food was plen-
tiful and cheap. Social justice" as
the President often expressed it, had
been brought to the nation"
But today, the government politi-
cal can1paigners. the Peron press and
radio are shouting epithets at for
eign imperialists." They have resur-
rected former Ambassador Spruiite
Braden, whose alleged interference
in Argentina's internal affairs figured
so largely in the 1916 presidential
elections. "Braden sympathizers"
are again accused of trying to inf1u-
ence an Argentine election. Wall
Street manipulators" are out to
undermine the economy of the coun-
try. Communists. apparently for the
first time, are threat to the peace
of the nation. OF course, they are
foreign Communists"
Last week Peron called for re-
vival of the old ABC bloc-Argentina.
Brazil and Chile-"to defend them
selves and the South American conti-
nent from the effects of the struggle
now going on between capitalism and

as exemplified by the United States
and Russia.
In the meantime, at home, Argen-
tines are expecting an internal drive
to put down all opposition and to wipe
out all divisions of opinion that may
exist within the party. in the army
and the labor movement. The puni-
tive measures already taken against
the cattle growers are an indication
OF what is likely to happen to others.
AS result of the railroad strikes,
several labor leaders have already
been arrested as "Saboteurs, outlaws
and Communists A number of i'm
portant army officers have also been
transferred. and some others re
stricted to quarters"
A machine which is still as powerful
as the Peron government will not
tolerate the presence Of enemies with

Improved Career Outlook for INTEL
ligence Personnel.
Fifth, the Pentagon, as the Defense
Departments headquarters, has been
connected over the years with names
famous to war-conscious public -
Marshall. Collins, Vandenberg, Sher-
man, Finletter, Bradley and Eisen-
hover.
And, finally, the Pentagon is a
nerve center for military activities
which reach into nearly every area
of the world. controlling bases, as
signing ships and men.
Its huge message center sends and
receives communications to and from
Korea, Europe, ships at sea, wherever
American forces go. Conferences can
be held by telephone and teletype
the famous ''telecons" with par
ticipants in far-flung places like
London, Tokyo and Berlin.
Mr.. ye-by-Fiye
Physically, the Pentagon is a five
story, five-sided structure, with five
rings" spliced together by 10 spoke
like corridors, with 6.5 million square
feet of space under roof and a three
acre courtyard in the middle. The
whole building covers "a acres.
Most Of the installations at the
Pentagon make separate story
themselves.
The multitude of stores and service
centers in the huge "concourSe" are
there because those concerned with
getting the work done discovered that
q lot of absenteeism resulted from
employees going downtown on working
days to shop.
Despite the apparent confusion,
with officers and civilian personnel
shutting constantly through the cor
ridors, the $1,000 present employees
get things done.
At any rate, things get done. The
system is too complex for any one
man to grasp, but it operates, none
the-less-whic calls to mind one
more story:
The new captain had arrived fresh
from the field, and set to work in his
Pentagon Office. After several weeks,
he noticed that no matter how hard
he worked, his desk always seemed to
be piled high, while that of man
with similar rank was always clear.
How do you manager" he asked
his cohort.
Simple" was the reply. Il just
mark everything. Captain Brown
should see this.
"You so-and-so!" the newcomer
shouted. I'm Captain Brown!"
Thus the legend grows. and with 1t,
the fame of the Pentagon spreads.

The fabulous Pentagon, the worlds
largest Office building. has become in
the short span of less than 10 years,
as familiar world institution as the
centurieS-old Tower of London.
In size it has few rivals; in legend.
none.
Ten years ago Tuesday a contract
was awarded for construction Of the
labyrinthine building. Three builders
john McShain of Philadelphia and
Doyle & Russell and the Wise Con-
Struction Co., both OF Richmond
shared in the job, which by estimates
of the day was to cost slightly under
$35 million. When the building was
completed early in 1943, the bill was
somewhere between SOS and $85 mil
lion-depending on what is included
in building cost. A substantial figure,
to be sure, but still cheaper than a
battleship.
So rapidly did construction go
ahead that the huge building seemed
to spring up out of nowhere. BY 1943,
the Government had $4,000 workers
toiling in a maze where less than q
year and a half before had been only
swamps and automobile graveyards.
No White Elephant
Once predicted to wind up white
elephant, the Pentagon has come to
be recognized as one of the most ef1i-
ciently planned and operated Office
buildings in existence.
A combination of things was re-
SponSible for the lightning spread Of
its name and reputation.
First, there was the storm of criti-
cism which surrounded its building.
The debate over its construction got
wide publicity. Opponents said it
couldn't be built in time. to do any
good and would leave the Govern
ment with big haunted house on
its hands.
Second, there was the speed with
which the structure went up. Seven
months after work started, civil Serv-
ice employees began moving into
Offices. In Is months it was COM
pleted
Gen. Brehon Somervell supervised
the job. He pushed contractors,
shipped red tape, bulldozed supplierS,
to get what people called "Somervelrs
Folly" completed in record time. The
public. which likes good race,
Inarveled.
Third. the size of the building itself
caught the public eye. People remem-
Der little facts about big things-the

The history Of aviation in the Ma
tion's Capital has been punctuated by
many spirited debates. The latest OF
these Is the case of the citizens Of
Alexandria versus the airplane.
Next Tuesday, hearings will be held
in Alexandria on an ordinance per-
tanning to regulations for the opera
ton of aircraft over the city. The
purpose of the proposed new ordi-
nance is to make flying over Alexan-
dria safer and less noisy.
Provisions in the bill prescribe
minimum height limits" require air.
craft lights for night flying. prohibit
acrobatics over Alexandria, require
that aircraft fly in straight line
when over city limits, and prohibit
unnecessary noise. Government-owned
aircraft (Federal, State or foreign)
are exempt from the order, but fires
and prison sentences are provided for
civilian airplane owners and pilots.
BY these measures, Alexandria hopes
to solve it's problem.
Mony Complications
Washington is the southern termi-
nus of the busiest airway In the
world, extending north to New York
and Boston. National Airport is con-
sistently among the three busiest
fields in the country. Chicago and
La Guardia New York; being the
others. This in itself indicates the
size of the problem with which Alex
andria is trying to cope.
Making the situation still worse is
the fact that all this air traffic is
concentrated in a relatively small
area on one side of the airport. Ex-
cept for a narrow corridor up the
Anacostia River, all civilian aircraft
are restricted to the air everything

Eva Peron's withdrawal. last week,
from candidacy for the job of Vice
President of Argentina is an admis-
sion that. in spite of outward bluster
and boasts. all is not well within the
Peronista household. But it does not
mean that there is any immediate
threat to the stability of the regime
itself.
The story is that important ele-
ments in the army objected to the
husband-wife ticket. on the grounds
that if Eva were elected she would be
in line to become the commander
In chief of the military forces.

watch and use during takeoff and
landing. If he must continually di-
vert his attention outside the cock
pit to fly special route, he Is more
apt to have trouble.
Try to imagine what would hap
pen if a city suddenly ordained that
automobiles would conform to right
hand traffic on some streets and left
hand on others. Fancy traffic pat
terms cause the same kind of con-
fusion in the air.
Air traffic moves around National
Airport in standard rectangular
flow. This is difficult to show on a
map, because it appears to be merely
a box drawn around an airport. Peo-
pie point to the line and say, See.
they fly over my house all the time"
Actually, they don't. The flow is flex-
ible. much more so than rigidly en-
forced "air lane" which would route
all traffic over the same place all
the time
The standard fow works like this:
After takeof, pilot makes 90
degree turn. say to the left. Presently
he makes another 90-degree turn to
the left He is now flying on
the downward leg" BY vary
ing that presently" the down.
wind leg can be moved several miles.
The next 90-degree turn places the
aircraft on the base Leg" BY
lengthening the downwind, the base
leg can also be moved several miles.
This does two things. It spreads
the noise around in democratitc
way. Nobody gets it all.
It also makes for safety. Present.
day aircraft have speeds generally
around 200 to 800 miles per hour.
This means that planes can approach
each other (closure rate is the TECH
nical term) at speeds UP to 900 miles
per hour. With the flexible stand
ard flow. planes can be easily sepa-
rated by moving those legs" A
special tailor-made flow would give
the pilots some impossible problems
in trajectories, and enhance the pos
sibility of collision.
Less Turns, More Sofety
There are other factors which
weigh against special diagrams.
Maximum safety, for instance, means
making as few turns as possible at
low altitude and low speed. The
standard flow requires least turns.
On takeoff maximum safety and
least noise are obtained If aircraft
can climb straight ahead. The CEN
trifugal force encountered in turning
decreases the rate Of climb. There
fore to get maximum safety and min
imum noise, take the rectangular
standard flow with its "straight-out"
climb.
It cannot be said, of course, that
the aviation industry is completely
in the clear in the matter of noise.
There are many things it could do.
It could design more silence into our
airplanes. 1t could keep the public
better informed on industry efforts
to eliminate noise. It could alert
the pilots and airport personnel on
the Importance of reducing noise.
It could invite city officials to airport
meetings when the matter is being
discussed and hear their views. ALI
these. and perhaps other things, can
help.
Safety, however. cannot be legis-
lated. Nor will engineering know
how appear as the result OF an ordi.

Of course, have overruled these
objections. He is still the undis-

not to insist that his wife be allowed

so deciding.

the Argentine dictatorship are
neither military nor political. They
are economic and social. There has

also bar civilian traffic east of the
Potomac. Squeezing several hundred
flights day into the leftover space
is no mean feat.
Unfortunately the City of Alex
andria is located just right-or just
wrong-to be affected by these flights.
Since neither National Airport nor
the City of Alexandria can be moved.
and the airplane cannot be outlawed,
what can be done?
Regulations No Help
In the first place, legislating
against the pilots accomplishes moth
ing. True, the planes they fly make
noise. But that is problem, pri-
nlarily, for the designer and manu-
facturer of airplanes. The pilots are
fully aware of the discomfort caused
by vibrating propeller tips (that is
what makes the noise you hear on
the ground not the engine). Many
of the pilots flying into Washington
live in Alexandra. They have no spe-
cial desire to crash in that city. Nor
do they wish their fellow pilots to
endanger their homes and loved ones.
Making UP new rules and regllla-
tions does not make flying safer.
The aviation industry is always try
ing to standardize procedures. This
makes 1t easier for pilot to remem-
ber what to do and which way to
turn when he comes to an airport.
Devising special intricate traffic dia-
grams for each field merely increases
