Washington will remember
1854 as the year Of the VIP

In these crowded IL months
the Capital has been greeting
and entertaining more foreign
dignitafies than In any year
in history.
The Very Important Persons

so numerous and have followed

In fact, the itineraries Of
several Of our distinguished
guests this year were revised to
avoid overlapping that could
have produced embarrassing Sit

More Than 20.
BY the end Of December more
than 20 of the worlds foremost
celebrities will have been in
Washington to visit President
Eisenhower or confer with high
ranking officers of the Govern
mentor sboth. This includes
both official State visits and un-
official pleasure trips.
Once upon a time the visit of
the head of a foreign country
created so much excitement in
Washington - and throughout
the United States-that it was
news for months ahead of time
and months afterwards, too.
Nowadays. with few exceptions.
these visits cause little more
than a ripple of interest.
Contrary to widespread belief,
distinguished visitors are not re-
ceiving less formal attention now
than in the past. It just seems
so because the standard cere-
monies are "old hat"
The kind of ceremony for each
VIP depends upon his rank. A

2 Wives No Problem.
Thus, no protocol problems
will arise If and when, King
Tribhuvana of Nepal comes here
with his two wives. On the err
roneous assumption that the
monarch of the Himalayan king
dom would be here on an official
visit and would be rendered a
State dinner, curious Washing
tonians began inquiring about
such things as seating arrange
ments for the wives.
They can quit worrying. The
Kings trip will be a private va
cation. Anyway, by Nepalese
custom, the wives are shielded
from the public.
The fact that so many highly
placed officials of foreign govern
ments want to visit the United
States is a compliment. It indi-
Gates recognition of this coun-
try's leadership in world affairs.
It also indicates friendship with
America or a desire to improve
international relations.
The visits are important to
the United States for various
reasons, such as mutual security
and trade expansion.

w the affair later, delay in reporting the
original sighting received much of the blame,
This delay was the fault of Airrnan /c Warren
Pitts, but the cause of Pitts lapse never was
committed to paper, for it would sound so
emotional and unmilitary. The truth is that
Warren Pitts was only eighteen, and he was
homesick. and weeping at his post
Pitts was the youngest of five technicans
assigned, that morning, to 48-hour duty in the
Early Warning Radar shack atop wind
secured hill overlooking the sprawling Thule
base in northern Greenland.
1t was Tail End Charley duty. Down on
the base everybody was celebrating. There
was USO troupe. including dancers from
Hollywood, at the theater Pitts had not seen
woman in three months. There was Christ
mas tree, flown from Maine in B-36 bomb
bay, in the gymnasium. 1t was the only tree
in thousand miles. There were parties in
the clubs and day rooms, and turkey dinners
in the mess halls. and mountain of still
undistributed mail and packages. Pitts hadn't
received the Christmas box his folks had
promised.
EVEN in the radar shack there was celebra-
ton of sort. In the other room the older men
had concocted an eggnog from evaporated
milk, powdered eggs. vanilla extract, and
medicinal alcohol Since Pitts didn't drink,
he had drawn the six to midnight watch.
The other room was bright, and warm, and
they were listening to Christmas music on the
radio, and Sergeant Hake was telling almost
believable stories about girls he had known,

There was no light in the viewing room, so
that vision would be sharper. Pitts sat lonely
in darkness and watched thin white silver
revolve in hypnotic circles on the screen.
He wasn't thinking of himself as the guard
ian of continent. He was thinking of
Tucson's hot sun. He hadn't seen the sun in
weeks, and wouldn't see it for weeks more He
said aloud, 'Oh. God. want to 60 home"
He lost interest in the radar. tears swamped
his eyes, and then he put his face in his hands.

Montanans Import
Highland Bulls

THE LARGEST shipment of Scottish
Highland cattle ever made to the Unit
ed States, q young bulls, left Scotland
Oct. % on the first leg of their long
trip to Montana. They will go to mem
bers of the Scottish Highland Cattle
Breeders Association in the United
States.
1t will be the first of the year before
they reach their destination, however,
since they face 80 days confinement in
Quebec and similar quarantine when
they cross from Canada into the United
States.
The shipment comes largely as re-
suit of two visits, one paid to Scotland
last year by Stanley Sloan of Forsyth,

Highland Cattle Breeders Association

of the calves now en- route), and The
other paid to the United States this past

Now add these two together and we
find that the Montana livestockmen pay
an annual bill of SAC. 894,572 to animal
diseases and internal parasites. Of
course that is not the final bill because
they have to pay one to the external
pest department. If you recover bit
from the first two, it is certain you
will get this one, too.
These are mighty big figures, but
some people think they might be bit
conservative. The whole thing en-
phasizes, in a dollar and cents way of
thinking, that livestock diseases and
parasites create a very serious situa-
ton. There is a way to meet this stu
alton. That way is through better man.
agement practices, improved nutrition,
applying known scientific methods of

research to increase our knowledge of

TWO NEW BULLETINS published by
the Montana Agricultural Experiment
station give the results of feeding trials
with supplemental feeds not ordinarily
used in Montana.
Bulletin 499 describes feeding trials
in which rapeseed oil meal is compared
with linSeed oil meal as a high protein
supplement for cattle and sheep. The
Montana stations feeding trials cover
two years work with wintering COWS,
one years trial with long yearlings
and one year with calves.
Bulletin 498 gives the results of feed
ing trials to compare wood molasses
with cane molasses as a carbohydrate
supplement for lambs and steers.

Veterinary
Stock Diseases
Cost Millions
By ]. w. Stafford, D.V.M.

THE OTHER DAY some figures
turned up in preliminary report on
estimated losses of livestock and poul-
try in the United States. These esti-
mated losses included death and even
greater losses due to animal sickness.
Sickness causes loss of milk, eggs,
wool, meat and hides; loss of work days
for horses; loss of feed consumed; la
Dor for animal care and handling; loss
of offspring not produced in some re-
production diseases, and replacement
costs. Livestock diseases also cause
the livestock owner inconvenience and
expenditures for which no estimate can
be made.
1t seemed that it might be interest
ing to apply these United States esti-
mates Of disease and parasitic losses
to the valuation of Montana livestock
as listed in the 1850 census. From this
estimate we find that Montana live
stockmen are handed quite a bill
every year by the disease and internal
parasite department.
The shock of obtaining this bill
should almost be equal to receiving
that bill for your wife's new hat. Hang
on to your Stetson, sit down, relax and
now read the following annual bill:

QUANTICO, Va, 5.-A Marine
Corps helicopter picked up the

The hangar-toting demonStra-
ton was part of a display OF
lightweight, inexpensive new

some officers believe will revolu-
tionize military housing in COM
bat areas in few years.
Col. Lane said the dome shell
tiers could readily be flown by
helicopter into areas where
needed. and flown on to new
locations as required.
He estimated that they would
save the armed services millions
Of dollars, but by replacing
tents and semipermanent shell
tiers would provide "even more
spectacular savings" in weight
and, more Importantly, in time
and labor. VA
