Flying Saucers

While the politicians were watch
ing the neutrality-suspicious. con-
ventions, some other people, includ-
ing the Air Force, were watching a
mysterious rash of flying saucers.
Furthermore, the Air Force, long
skeptical about flying saucers has
now made some official and impor-
tant admissions.
Admission No. / is that they have
now detected something that looks
like flying saucers on radar at the
same time that people have claimed
they saw flying saucers In other
words flying saucers are not just
cloud freaks or Authorizations. 1t
so they could not be detected on a
radar screen.
Admission No. 2 is that flying
aucer could possibly be space
ships from another planet. The
reason for this admission is that it
will soon be possible for us to
build a space ship to visit the
moon if we n willing to spend the
money for reasearch and construc-
ton.
Our current research into atomic
power and supersonic speeds al
ready has progressed so far that
it is definitely known such a ship
can be built, but the big expense
would come from creating atmos-
phere inside the ship to support
human life while travelling from one
planet to the other.
Therefore if we are this close to
interplanetary travel, Air Force
officers admit that a more advanced
civilization could be keeping this
planet under surveillance through
flying saucerS.
Admission No. 3 it has not been
announced, but scientific observa-
ton posts have been set up in New
Mexico, where we are testing guild
ed missiles, to track flying saucers
also. 4 number of flying saucers
have been seen in the southwest,
and since trained specialists are
already on the job in that area with
the latest scientific gadgets, the
Air Force has ordered them to
watch for flying saucers and track
them scientifically.
In addition, the Air Force has
instructed it's 24-hour air observers
to watch not only for enemy planes
but flying saucers. Furthermore it
has set up special cameras on its
radar screens to keep a pictorial
record of flying saucers or any
strange objects fitting across the
screens.
Finally Wright Field, at Dayton,
Ohio, the center of all Air Force re-
search, has been instructed to
chart all flying saucer patterns,
find out whether their light be-
havior is similar, and what charac-
teristics they seem to have in COM
mon.

Steel Negotiation Troubles

The administration worked to
settle the steel dispute SO president
Truman or Phil Murray could an
nounce it at the Democratic con-
vention. That may have been why a
special price concession was Of
fered the steel industry by the
White House, despite Truman's
veto of the price increase proposed
last March by Charles E. Wilson, the
defense mobilizer who resigned after
Truman reversed him.
Here is the inside story of the
negotiation which began before the
convention and at first blew up in
smoke.
About a week before the conven-
ton US. Steel's Ben Fairless went
to the White House and informed
Defense Mobilizer John Steelman:
eff you'll give us a worthwhile
price increase, I will guarantee to
have the strike settled within one
hour of my return to Pittsburgh"
what do you call worth while,
MIR. Fairless?" Steelman asked.
Fairless said he wanted a price
boost averaging $5.65 for all types
of steel. s.
Steelman finally gave Fairless an
assurance that the government
would permit the $5.65 boost, then
urged Fairless to return to Pitts
burgh Immediately to settle the
strike within an hour" as prom
ised.
Steelman confidently passed the
good news on to both Roger Putnam
and Ellis Arnall.
The next day, however, Steelman
was abruptly surprised by a long.
distance call from Fairless. 81 can't
settle this strike for S5.65-per-ton
increase" he said. 1.-THE union has
Just increased its demands. I'll need
a bigger price boost"
Steelman then phoned Phil Muir.
ray to ask about the new union de.
mands" in blunt language, Murray
told Steelman that the union had
not altered its position one iota.
Murray proceeded to prove his point
by reiterating the union position.
1t was at this point that Steelman
became convinced that the steel
companies were negotiating in bad
faith, and were not out to settle the
strike but to get all the traffic
| would bear.
Economic Stabilizer Putnam,
equally furious, told a private con-
ference: .'These steel people APP
~parently think they can blackmail
and doublecross the government.
They're not going to get away with
it as long as I'm here. As far as
I'm concerned, they're only en-
titled to $3.50 a ton increase. They

fore they get any more"

favor of Juliana, had promised the Indo-
nesians eventual independence. The Indo-
nesians demanded immediate freedom, and
won UN backing. The Netherlands govern
ment then prepared a transfer of sovereignty
to the rebel Indonesian Republic, and it was
left up to Juliana to sign away the fabulous
3O0-year-old Dutch East Indian Empire.
Powerful interests, including Indonesians
who wanted a federated state instead of
republic, urged her to withhold her sigma
ture. Juliana studied cables, reports, views of
Dutch and Indonesian experts. She quizzed
leading diplomats asking fortnight perceptive
questions, finally made her decision - to sign.
She always insists on knowing what's in
document before signing it. Ministers are
often called to the Palace to explain what's
going on in their departments. Once she
grilled provincial governor for two hours
ssHer Majesty knows as much about the
province as do, he told her secretaries
in awe. There was only one thing in the
administration she didn't ask me about" A
few weeks later, on Royal Tour, Juliana
met the governor again. As he left the royal
presence, he muttered to the secretaries,
'She asked about it just now"
Practically is Juliana's watchword. Visit
ing glass factory, she was shown new type
of unbreakable glass. Her Majesty promptly
jumped on the glass herself to test it.
Evening star., 1952-03-23

Besides touring the provinces every year
for firsthand information, the royal couple
conduct town meetings" at the palace, and
the participants are encouraged to sound off
as much as they please. When one Of her
provocative questions stirs heated defense,
and a commoner goes so far as to shake his
finger at the Queen, Juliana loves it.
The royal pair have done a lot of travelling,
before and since Juliana's coronation, includ-
ing wartime visits to the U.S. Still, both are
bit nervous over their forthcoming tour.
When talked to Bernhard, he asked me for
suggestions about the trip: Is there anything
we should do or avoid doing, to let the people
know we like them and we're glad to be there2"
The House ef Orange
It's significant from the point of view of
Juliana's position that Dutch democracy is a
good deal older than Dutch monarchy. The
country began its independent existence as a
republic in the sixteenth century, and only
became kingdom in 1914. The tie that binds
the two traditions together is the House of
Orange, whose members founded and de-
Tended the republic, and were made its
hereditary rulers by the Congress of Vienna.
Since then there have been occasional minor
republican outbreaks. The most recent was
in 1918. when Queen Wilhelmina took nine

y
For many years after the Fed
Ieral Government took over Wen
dell's printing Office at North
Capitol and H streets and began
doing its own printing there, the
establishment could not do all the
work required when Congress was
in session and new private estab-
lishments were added to those al
ready in existence to do Govern
ment work.
Many of these firms are still
recalled by the old resident, name
ly: Gibson Bros. McGill & With
crow, Gideon g. Pearson, R. c
Polkinhorn, Judd & Detweiler and
others.
Gibson Bros, as near as the
writer can tell. entered the print.
ing field in 1864; at least he does
know that their four-colored ad-
vertisement appears in the city
directory for 1865, and that they
were then over Schneider's hard
ware store at 1010-1012 Pennsyl-
vania avenue NV, where they
remained until sometime between
1880 and 1888, when they removed
to the southeast corner of Penn
sylvania avenue and Thirteenth
street.
At first the firm consisted only
of John and George Gibson, but
later William was taken into the
partnership. John, the senior
member of the firm, joined the

his printing Office at the old stand,
in the neighborhood of which the
Gideons-Jacob, jr.. and George
|S.-had conducted a similar busi-
ness many years before.
James L. Pearson was admitted
to membership in the old CO.
lumbia Society in February, 1858.
Many an old resident will re-
call Polkinhorn's printing Office
on the south side of D street be-
tween Sixth and Seventh streets
NV, conducted for many years
by R. O. Polkinhorn, who
in his time probably employed
more help than any other private
printer in Washington. The old
building is still standing and ap-
parently in good condition, and no
doubt brings to many an old
printer a flood Of recollections
as he passes by.
Mr.. Polkinhorn learned his
trade with his uncle Henry, one
of Washington's pioneer printers,
who was admitted into the Typo
graphical Society in November,
1887, and, in 1846, is recorded as
living in the block on Seventh
street between E and F streets,
west side. In 1860, and probably
lat an earlier date, he was es-
tablished in business at 375 and
377 D street NV, which quite
likely. under the changed sys-
tenn Of numbering, is the same
R. o. Polkinhorn, and the place
where the latter was an apprentice
|printer.
The firm in 1862 was H. Polkin-
horn & Son. Samuel Polkinhorn
being the junior member of the
firm. and he, together with his
cousin, R. o. Polkinhorn, Sue
Iceeded to the business about 1867
The latter had full control of the
business a few years later, con-
Itnuing there for many years and
until being succeeded in turn by
his son, Joseph H. Polkinhorn
who died recently.
Another old printer the writer
well remembers was the late
Maurice Joyce, the engraver. Al
one time he worked at the cast
in the Government Printing OF.
flee before he invented his Kaolo.
type process. when he left tht
Government to engage in private
