The judges job is to critically
evaluate evidence about an accuse
man - working in conjunction with
jury usually. However, modern
court procedure is devoted to a con.
test of lawyers wits and it takes
an exceedingly clever judge to
pierce this battle of words and find
out the true circumstances of the
case.
This column isn't written either
for or against ReduS. 1t is a re-
suit of too often reading of Justice

our lawyers practicing a rigid
code of ethics - can correct the
situation Immediately. Something
must be done, however, or the
United States is headed down the
same road as the Roman Empire.

Today there is every reason why
women should take advantage Of
makeup. There Is such q wide
variety in color and there are so
many new things to help them
look their best. Makeup. skillfully
used. enhances natural beauty
and minimizes defects.
Years ago we heard nothing
about matching the shade Of pow
der to individual skin tone. Mama
went into q store. bought some
face powder, came home and put
1t on, and If she looked like a
woman who had fallen into q flour
barrel. that was just too bad. II
her brows were light or her hair
straight, that was just hard luck.
She went about pale-lipped or
was apt to look as though she
had been hit in the mouth.
Makeup today has become q def
mite art.
The shade Of powder you use
can make q terrific difference.
Many women still fail to realize
that two shades are essential, one
for daytime and one for night.
AS a general rule your nighttime
powder should have more pink in
it. # you live in q large city
your problem is simple.
At the cosmetic counters OF
large stores there are trained peo-
pie to help you choose a powder.
In fact, they will even mix powders
for you If necessary. II you live
In q small town you may have to
do a bit Of experimenting on your
own. Some cosmetic houses have
color charts they will mail out to
you. Take the trouble to discover
which powder is most becoming.

k Into the Sky for the Next Decisive Weapon

Manhattan Project, which turned out
the atom bomb.
If such gamble was worth while,
the space-platform hackers ask, is
it not equally advisable to spend 81
billion on a job which we know can
be done with existing techniques?
A number of questions present
themselves in connection with the
space platform. How would it get up
there? How would it stay there once
established? What military advan-
tages would exist in having control
Of such a satellite? Why would it
be the ultimate weapon? And what
peaceful advantages would accrue
from a space station?
Take the questions one at time.
The Trip Up
How would it get there? It would
be necessary, first of all, to develop
rocket ships, that could achieve
high altitude like 1000 miles. The
highest altitude ever attained to date
by a rocket is $50 miles, with small
experimental rocket. But just as the
first 100 years of life are the hardest,
the first 100 miles are the worst in
rocketeering. We have metals strong
enough to make gigantic rockets and
fuels powerful enough to drive them.
A multi-stage rocket, consisting Of
three rockets in one, could be built
to deliver payload of 36 tons to an
altitude of LOTS miles. The rocket
would have to be half as tall as the
Washington Monument and would
burn over 5000 tons of fuel in five
Evening star., 1952-11-30

With the atom bomb rapidly be-
coming just another weapon in the
arsenal, and the hydrogen bomb ap-
parently we'll on the way to reality,
science is looking toward another
development that may become man
kinds ultimate weapon for war or
peace.
The fact that the weapon" has
a 81 billion price tag on it has kept
it in the drawing board stage so far.
Additional deterrents are the 10 or
IS years of continuous work required
to build it and the Buck Rogers aura
that surrounds it. The weapon" is
a man-made satellite, whirling end
lessly around the earth like minia-
ture moon at an altitude Of 1000
miles or so.
Even though no cornerstones have
been laid, the space platform (as it
is sometimes called or space station
Gas it also is known) is very much
in the minds of American war plan
ners. And supposedly Russian mill
tary men are thinking along similar
lines.
Forrestol's Remarks
The first hint of official American
interest came in 1948, when the late
James Forrestal, then Secretary of
Defense, mentioned that an "artifi-
cial earth satellite" was under study.
The space station idea, as enun-
ciated by DR.. Wernher Won Braun
of the Army's Redstone Arsenal in
Alabama. has achieved lot of pub
licity recently. A national magazine
devoted the best part of an issue to
Won Braun's plans for 81 billion
artificial satellite.
Actually, the idea is not exclusively
Won Braun's. He has drawn plans
for what he thinks space station
might look like, and has detailed
methods for building, manning and
maintaining it. But the German
born developer of the wartime W.
terror rocket has no secrets OF his
own about a space platform. The
cold fact is that there is no secret
to establishing such satellite.
Given enough money and enough
time, any nation-or, for that mat
ter, any private group-could build
a station in space that would be a
powerful factor in control Of the
whole world. Whether this control
would be used for the enslavement
or the benefit of mankind would de-
pend entirely on the attitude of those
who owned the space station.
This rather frightening fact is one
of the big talking points of those who
believe the United States should
buckle down to building a platform
in space. They point out that during
World War II the United States had
no compunction about spending 81
billion on project for which no
engineering techniQues existed and
about which there was no advance
proof Of feasibility. This was the
Evening star., 1952-11-30

minutes-but it would do the desired
job, however extensively.
What the space station would look
like would depend on who designed
it. Won Braun favors doughnut-
shaped object about $50 feet in
diameter with mass equivalent to
about 400 tons earth weight. It
would get there in sections: About
a dozen "shots" of rockets to the
1,075-mile level would get all the
material into place. The parts for
into space to await assembly.
How would it stay there once
established? The force that would
keep the space station "up" there is
exactly the same as the force that
makes you hit the ground when you
fall off horse: Gravity. The rocket
ships that brought up the parts for
the station would have to be travel
ing at about $4,000 miles an hour
when they dumped the parts into
space. This would establish the parts
in an orbit; they would continually
fall toward earth-but because of
their speed, would fall around, rather
than down to, the planet. This COM
bination of speed counteracting
gravity is the same effect that keeps
the moon circling earth a quarter of
million miles away at two-thirds
Of mile second. Because there is
no air to drag against the platform,
there would be nothing to slow its
eternal journey.
The platform, incidentally, would
Evening star., 1952-11-30

not have to be at LOTS miles. That is
Won Brauns favorite altitude, chosen
because it corresponds with a two
hour orbit. In other words, the plat
form at that level would circle the
earth IL times day, bringing every
point on earth under observation at
least twice every "a hours-once in
daylight, once in darkness. Another
platform man, Willie Ley, has sug-
gested 346-mile altitude, which
would give Is round trips a day. At
either height vacuum is practically
perfect and nothing exists to slow the
platform down.
The military advantages? The
greatest, of course, would be it's use
as an observation post. Astronomers
today can see objects on the face of
the moon no bigger than football
field. Telescopes focused on the
earth from 1000 miles up would be
nearly as efficient as the eyes of
man watching Fifth avenue traffic
from the top of the Empire State
Building. Few things big enough
to endanger world peace could 60 on
below without the watchers on the
space platform knowing about it.
Another great advantage would
be the platforms use as a launching
site for guided missiles. The man on
the platform would literally be in
the catbird seat. He could see his
target. track his atomic missile by
radar and call his shots with pin
point accuracy.
Why would it be the ultimate
weapon? The reasons outlined
Evening star., 1952-11-30

above almost answer this question
But not quite. Because of it's re-
moteness. the platform would be prac-
tically impossible to hit from earth.
What is more, the men occupying
the first platform in space undoubted-
ly could prevent any one else from
establishing rival space station.
Though weapons never have proved
very effective deterrents to war, there
are many persons who believe this
one would
Achilles Heel
OF course, the station would have
it's Achilles heel. The weak spot would
be the place on earth from which
supply rockets were launched. This
site would undoubtedly be the No.
target of any nation bent on over
throwing the supremacy of the coun-
try owning the space platform. And
the cruel fact is that the launching
site would have to be in a relatively
exposed place-on the seacoast at
a point where at least 1000 miles
of open water lay to the eastward
One OF the best sites in the United
States is considered to be the Long
Range Guided Missiles Proving
Ground in Florida. 1t is, unfortu-
nately. difficult place to defend.
The non-military uses? Virtually
limitless. AS an astronomical labora-
tory, the space platform would be
unimpeded by the thick atmosphere
that has kept earthbound astronom-
ers in the Dark Ages. AS a physics
lab, the platform would provide an
unlimited supply of vacuum far
harder" than any produced artifici-
ally on earth. Research in other
branches of science could be carried
on there to good advantage. With the
whole earth under observation, long
range weather forecasting could be
reduced practically to a science. The
platform also could serve as a valu-
able radio and television relay point.
All these things, say the space plat
form enthusiasts, are available for
81 billion dollars and 10 to Is years
Of hard work. And, they warn, if
some one else gets there first, all the
blood, sweat, tears and money in the
world couldn't force the first-comer
to share space with a rival.
There is, of course. one bug in the
problem of building an American
space platform that has not come up
very often. That is the matter of what
Congress might do in the queer game
Of politics. AS DR.. Won Braun puts it:
"The job could be done for $4 bill
lion If a consistent program was
adopted and for 10 or Is years you
could stay on the ball without major
policy changes. But If Congress gave
you plenty of money at the beginning
and then started blowing hot and
cold as the project progressed, the
cost could be increased by as much
as $40 billion before it was finished.
"And that would be just $40 bill
lion wasted"

held the reins in India, the Indian
National Congress passed a resolu-
ton which lives today as free India's
article of faith on foreign policy:
"The people of India desire to live
in peace and friendship with their
neighbors and with all other coun-
tries, and for this purpose wish to
remove all causes of conflict between
them. Striving for their own free
dom and independence as a nation.
they desire to respect the freedom
of others and to build up their
strength on the basis of international
cooperation md good will. Such
cooperation must be founded on a
world order, and free India will
gladly associate itself with such an
order and stand for disarmament and
collective security. But world CO.
operation is impossible of achieve
ment so long as the roots of inter-
national conflict remain and one ma
ton dominates over another and i'm
perialism holds sway. In order,
therefore, to establish world peace on
an enduring basis, imperialism and
Evening star., 1952-11-30

the exploitation of one people by an
other must end"
This has remained India's creed
to this day. India joined the United
Nations, condemned the aggression
in Korea, fought and is fighting CO.
lonialism in places like Indonesia and
Tunisia, protested Red China's move
into Tibet and baked at signing the
Japanese peace treaty because it in
cluded a provision for United States
troops to be stationed in Japan. In
dia wanted Japan to arrive at it's own
decision about admitting foreign
troops, as an autonomous nation in
stead of as a defeated one.
While it would be an over-state-
ment to call India Communist,
it would not be exaggerating to call
her democratic. Mr.. Nehru keeps
close watch on Communists in his
own country, restricts activities Of
Tass news agency, but permits wide
circulation of United States Infor-
nation Service materials.
Mr.. Nehru, however, reserves as

high priority for the fight on CO.
lonlalism as he does for resistance to
communism. The rest of the world,
Communist and free, agrees on paper
that colonialism should be done away
with. But India wants it eliminated
in practice, and in a hurry. On the
grounds that she is an expert on the
subject, only recently having gradu-
ated from colonial status, she con-
tends she is competent to judge
whether the Vests gradualism in
abolishing colonialism in places like
Tunisia is fast enough. She believes,
of course, that progress is too slow.
Characteristic Stond
In Indo-China, where Gin India's
mind, at least) the evils of colonial
ism and communism both are RAM
pant, India has taken a character
istic stand. Her attitude is entirely
one of "a plague on both your
houses" India condemns American
support of Emperor Bao Dai, whom
India regards as a French stooge.
