Careless Purents

The news story entitled "Crackdown
on Disorderly D. C. Juveniles" is of
serious interest and concern to every
right.thinking individual.
In contemplating the misdoings and
rampages of teen-agers and younger
folk, there is one question paramount
in the mind. of the writer: Where are
the parents Of these youngsters? And
what sort Of parents are they?
Let the parents of these juvenile de-
linquents be sought out, arraigned in
court along with the juveniles. A good
checkup would reveal that there are
many delinquent parents.
A goddess, careless, Indifferent atti-
tude characterizes too many mothers
and fathers. Little tots locked in the
family car or left to wander at will is
too true in many instances. The Help
Wanted" ads abound with petitions for
some one to stay with mere infants
and other young children while mother
leaves the watchcare> of her children
to others and goes out to earn addi-
tional funds. In the case of widowhood
or where some calamity befalls the
family such procedure may be justified.

woods, foresters have found. Lastly
the observer weighs the sticks.
On each ranger district there are
two or three fire weather stations. Each
one telephone readings in to the ranger
who records and averages them. Then
he pulls out circular slide rule for
figuring fire danger which is made up
of five concentric discs. Working from
the small circle out, he lines UP his
figures with the arrows on the outer
rim of each.
He sets the innermost one for the
time of year. Fire danger in the fall
is greater than in the summer in this
area because there are no leaves on
the trees to give shade or slow down
the wind, and the new litter of leaves
and exposed duff on the ground dries
out rapidly.
The ranger sets the next circle for
the number of days since the last rain
and the third and fourth at the fuel
moisture and wind velocity averages
received from his fire weather stations.
The last arrow points to what foresters
call the burning index or the class fire
day.
Evening star., 1953-09-04

When the ranger knows the fire dan
ger Is high, he notifies logging opera
tors and sawmill owners so they will
be careful while working in the woods.
He asks the nearest radio station to
warn mixers, campers, fishermen and
other recreationistS to be careful with
fire, matches and cigarettes; and he
asks the local paper to run fire-pre-
vention item.
Having taken all the preventive meas
ures possible, he prepares to pounce
on any fire that might break out before
it becomes raging demon. He passes
word on to the State district fire war
den, who handles fires on State and
privately owned lands. He radios his
lookoutS giving them the class fire day
and asking them to keep special watch
in areas where fires might break out.
He alerts his fire crews to be ready to
swing into action.
Forewarned is forearmed. Thanks to
ordinary weather measuring devices and
three little sticks forest fire fighting
agencies are now scientifically fore
warned.

India q Partisan

India q Partisan
think your two recent editorials on
the U. N. position taken by the United
States, and specifically on the inclusion
Of India in the peace conference, do
not do justice to the soundnesS and
astuteness of our American repre-
sentatives. You state the issue as
conflict between India and Korea.
Actually, if Korea had sought the in
cluSion of India, the India candidacy
should nevertheless have been defeated.
The first major point is that in the
Korean war, the U. N. has been a
partisan. Each partisan has right to
name its own representatives to peace
conference; but one of the partisanS
clearly does not have the right uni
laterally to make this a round-table
conference nor to name neutral mem
bers to it, II the U. N. had elected
India to the conference, this act would
have required the approval of the "other
side" to have legal effect. The U. N.
would have been chargeable with
breach Of the armistfce terms and the
"other side" would have had legal
issue on which to postpone the peace
conference indefinitely. It seems clear
to me that the inclusion of India would
have jeopardized the whole conference,
and that this was the Soviet aim.
The foregoing general proposition is
in this instance reinforced by the
specific armistice terms; to have dis
regarded these terms would have been
an act of the greatest imprudence. 1t
might have taken another year of
negotiation to get back to the place
where we are today. Ambassador Lodge
and his staff deserve kudos for their
objectivity and persistence under pres
sure. Perhaps we have at last raised
a crop of diplomats who can handle
both the Communists and our allies!
This is just the first battle. Many
other traps will lie ahead. Let us criti-
cize our representatives If they are
wrong, but not add our vague doubts
and fears to their difficult task.

Bermuda Is Braced
As Hurricane Nears
By the Assoeioted Press

MIAMI, Fla. Sept. 5.-Winds
from Hurricane Carol reached
the British island of Bermuda
today and the storms position
indicated the winds might ap-
proach hurricane force during
the night.
The lovely honeymoon isle was
battened down for the blow.
Some planes were flown away
from the area and ships put to
sea to ride out the storm. The
big blow is not expected to hit
the island directly, however.
The s pm. (EDTO advisory by
the Miami Weather Bureau CEN
tered the hurricane about 200
miles southwest of the island,
moving north northwestward at
between Is and Is miles per
hour.
The tropical storm packed
winds of 110 miles per hour near
the center, with winds of hurri-
cane force-75 miles per hour or
understanding out about 100
miles in the northeast quadrant
and so to so miles in other areas.
Grady Norton, chief storm
forecaster in the Miami Weather
Bureau, said he didn't think the
hurricane would affect any
coastal area of the United

StoT Stuff CORRESPONDENT

DAYTON, Ohio, Sept. 5.-Sev-
eral spectacular "f1rst's'' in mill
tary aviation were unveiled to
the general public today at the
opening of the three-day Ma
tional Aircraft Show here.
The show. which is said to be
the largest ever held in the
United States. is featuring fly
bys of the latest military aircraft,
heretofore heavily restricted. and
more than Is acres of ground
displays. 1t is being held at Cox
Municipal Airport in Commemo-
ration of the 5Oth anniversary of
powered flight by the Wright
Brothers. who came from Day
ton Major air races and speed
tests also have been scheduled
The spectators. including Rus
sian air observers. received an
inkling of what is to come during
the show when the Air Force
phase opened with a thunderous
record breaking series of is
"sonic booms."
Aimed Thunder ClapS.
To accomplish this, eight North
American F-86F Sabre jets
packed" walls of air In front
of them as they dived from 49,
900 feet. When the aircraft
reached the speed of sound. they
displaced large chunks" of air.
leaving partial vacuums in their
paths. The claps of thunder the
spectators heard represented dis
placed air rushing back into
the vacuur1s.
Another "f1rst" was the launch
ing, in low-level flight, of a
YF-84 modified Thunderjet par
asite" fighter from a giant RIB
36F intercontinental bomber.
During this demonstration, the
fighter also was retrieved by
the mother ship in fight.
The Convair RB-36F has long
range, but a maximum speed of
only 435 miles an hour. The
Republic YF-84 is in the 600
mile-an-hour class. This means
that the bomber can reach a
distant target and then launch
the Thunderjet at high speed
for reconnaissance or bombing
OF the target.
Can Alter Wing Angle.
Also shown for the first time
in public was the Bell KS tram
sonic airplane. From the Air
Force Flight Test Center, in CAL
ifornia, it flew by in a low pass
at terrific speed. The sleek, ex-
perimental research aircraft can
alter the angle of the sweep
of it's wings as much as go de-
grees. The farther back the
wings sweep, the less shock is
incurred by the airplane at su-
personic speed.
Another attraction unveiled to
the crowds was the X-1B, de-
signed specifically to investigate
supersonic flight problems. Rock

duction. Among them are the
Treasury and Agriculture De-
partments, the Civil Service
Commission and the General Ac-
counting Office.
The forthcoming defense Or
der will apply to the Army,
Navy and Air Force Depart
ments and the Office of the Sec
retary of Defense.
Still to be decided is the pc
riod in which employees will be
allowed to get down to the 30
day level. Indications are that
the reduction will be on a grad
ual basis over 10 years or so. De-
fense officials say many of their
key employees have a 60-day
leave accumulation and that it
will take a considerable period
to reduce this leave to a 30-day
maximum without disrupting es-
sential operations.
NEW NAME-The Commerce
Departments new business serv-
ices unit, which will contain
some OF the functions of the
defunct National Production Au-
thority. is looking for a name
It originally was scheduled tc
be called the Business Services
Administration. However, Off
cials decided this would cause
too much name confusion with
the new Small Business Admin
iStration.
VACATION TIME-The ma
jority of top Government Of
f1cials are away on vacations
With President Eisenhower in
Colorado and the pressure of
business eased as a result of the
adjournment of Congress, the
officials feel this is as good a
time as any to take their vaca-
tions. Another reason is that
the new Leave Act bans cash
payment for unused vacation
time. The officials must take
their vacations whenever they
can find time. Otherwise. there
is no reimbursement. @
