You're likely to talk to yourself when you're
under stress = pleasant or unpleasant. When
you're happy you'll be shouting from the
rooftops." But even if you talk to yourself
with little provocation you're in good COM
pany. According to an observer who spent
many years in Washington. three Justices of
the Supreme Court commonly carry on ami
mated conversations with themselves.
Like the Korea prisoner in solitary confine-
ment. a lot of people talk to themselves when
they're lonely. One successful woman execu-
tive who has lived alone for many years says
she encourages herself to talk to herself. Il

from being silent too long and it maintains

Too, the President needs a diction

so he won't telescope words. such as

"progrum," communism into com

Another Plane Shot Down

Unless we propose to treat the latest
United States Russian plane incident as an
actsof war, there is little wisdom In SEN
ator Knowland's demand for break in
diplomatic relations.
It would be easy to recall Ambassador
Bohlen from Moscow and to give the Soviet
Ambassador his walking papers. Except
for the satisfaction which comes from let
ting of steam, however, this would ac-
complish nothing. For the troubles which
we are having with the Russians In the Far
East do not stem from the fact that diplo-
matte relations are being maintained.
In the latest clash, two Soviet Jet
fighters have shot down one OF the
Nays P2V Neptunes, tWin-engine patrol
bomber. The Russians admit they shot
down the plane. but claim they did so only
after it had opened fire on their fighters
as they were trying to warn the bomber
away from the Siberian coast. In all prob
ability, this is not true
The American version is that the Nep-
tune was flying a routine patrol about A
miles off the Russian coastline and about
100 miles from Vladiyostok when it was
attacked without warning or provocation
It is said that the bomber returned the fire,
but did not shoot first.
This is not point, however, which
gets to the heart of the matter. The real
question has to do with the desirability of
maintaining American air patrols SO close
to the Russian coast and the huge military
base at Vladivostok. Undoubtedly, under
International law, we have right to be
there. But we ought to realize that we
would not look approvingly on Soviet
bomber patrolling A miles of the Caro-
lima coast, within 100 miles of our naval
base at Norfolk.
Perhaps our military requirements in
the Sea Of Japan are such that close-in
patrols must be maintained. If SO, how
ever, we can expect more incidents of this
sort. And we should understand that the
security of the patrolling planes is not
going to be insured by such things as the
breaking off of diplomatic relations or stiff
notes from the State Department. We can
best protect our planes-and crews-by
restricting patrols to areas in which We
can, and will, provide fighter cover for
them.

Bert Acosto-FIyer

The life of Bert Acosta, who died in a
Denver sanatorium the other day at the age
of SO, hardly could be held up as model for
the Nations youth. But the devil-may-care
sort of swashbuckling responsibility which
led Acosta into so much trouble-often into
court and sometimes into jail-added a GER
tain color to the career of one who has been
described as "the greatest natural flyer In
the history of aviation"
: Acosta began tinkering with airplanes
when he was boy. When he was is he flew
one he had built himself. In the years since
he had flown just about every kind OF plane
lin peace or in war. Scattered through his
escapades were performances in setting new
speed records and as test pilot that have
contributed their part Ito the phenomenal
