Air Force Reveals
 Operation IceCube Support DEW Line

WASHINGTON, LR - The Air Force is flying 15,OOO tons of equipment into polar areas in what it calls Operation Ice Cube"-the biggest Arctic project 1t has ever undertaken.
 Gen. O. w. Weyland, chief of the Tactical Air Command, Sat- urday told 600 industrial leaders, invited here by the Air Force Assn, that the project is under way in Alaska and the Arctic regions of Canada. Reporters were not permitted to the session but parts of Weyland's talk were given to them.
 The project consists of the de- livery of supplies for the building of the DEW Line" Oistant Early Warning Line)-the northernmOste of three radar networks between North America and Red Siberia.
 Weyland said TAG C-119 Fly ing Boxcars have dropped 16,000- pound tractors by parachute. The tractors are used in building land- ing strips of ice and snow.
 The Command then lands C-124 Globemasters, weighing up to 155,000 pounds each fully loaded with supplies and equipment for the building of radar stations.
 Ut is a constant race against time, for soon the ice and snow will be melting," Weyland said. "The airlift must be completed before then or portions of the project must be delayed.
 His speech disclosed for the first time that the job has been designated Operation Ice Cube"
 It is not to be confused with the previously announced, and re- gently completed, Operation Big Haul" in Alaska, also in support of the DEW Line program.

Railroad PoStponeS Bridge Job To Accommodate Mink Breeding Season

CORTLAND, N. Y., R - The Delaware, Lackawanna & West ern Railroad has postponed a bridge rebuilding job so that the rat-a-tat of jack hammers won't disturb mother minks.
 The project was going fine. Then crews started heavy work. Maynard Fish, who runs a mink ranch near this city in central New York, complained that the noise might frighten the mother minks into eating the 900 kits they bore early this month.
 The railroad agreed to postpone the work until July, when the kits leave their mothers.

TOWARD A
BETTER WORLD

In spite of the juSt-revealed
fact that the USSR has stepped
up its military budget twelve per-
cent over last year, we are as
sured that their atomic activities
are in the interests of building a
better world.
When u scientists detected
some time ago what they assumed
to be bomb tests somewhere in
the vastness of the Soviet, the
Russians explained they were
merely moving a mountain. More
recently a more detailed discus
sion Of the atomic plans of Soviet
scientists has come to light. This
piece, by Andrei Markin, a Rus
sian engineer, says their projects
include reversing rivers as well
as moving mountains, shooting
warm Pacific currents into the
Arctic ocean and melting the Po-
lar ice cap - to mention a few.
It should be borne in mind that
he might possibly be including
the human race - capitalist di-
vision.

Programs will extend the work of
the National Conference which
stimulates year-around programs
in schools and colleges, churches
and synagogues, labor-manage-
ment and community organiza-
tons, and in newspapers, maya
zines, motion pictures, radio and
televiSion.
The purposes of Brotherhood
Week, according to Dr.. Everett R.
Clinchy, president of the Nation
al Conference, are to give people
an opportunity to re-dedicate
themselves as individuals to the
ideals of respect for people and
human rights. "We try to dram
atize the practical things that
people car do to promote an
understanding and realization of
those ideals. Brotherhood Week
IS essentially a campaign against
the prejudices and bigotries that
disfigure and distort religious,
business, social and political rela-
TONS"
An inventory of the nations
moral and spiritual resources for
brotherhood is being undertaken
by the National Conference as
one of its main tasks during the
current year.
The big promotion during
Brotherhood Week, according to
DR.. Clinchy, will be to urge peo-
pie to do more than give the
principles of brotherhood mere
lip service. 'By getting to know
the other fellow, the one who
has a different creed, race or ma
tional origin than yours, by I'M
derstanding his viewpoint, his
ambitions and goals, you will find
old prejudices disappear. You'll
find that we are all one family
made strong and great by the
very differences that so many
times divide us as individuals and
groups. You'll learn to accept or
reject a person strictly on his mer-
its as a human being and not be-
cause he happens to be different
from you"
eve hope that during Brother
hood Week people will get to-
gether with people they know,
people they don't know, and with
people they wish to know, in the
informally of their w homes.
By planning simple discussions
about the meaning of brotherhood,
and what it means in their own
lives, they can contribute to the
real spirit of Brotherhood Week"

five co-ops had reported in. but
the total paid by them amounted
to $4,000 in round numbers for

taxes paid by any other businesses
operating in this vicinity. So, don't

the next prophet will be wrong,
but we highly suspect it. Looking
back only a month or so, we re-
member the case of a Michigan
State College staff physician and
his prediction that the world was
coming to an end. When the day
arrived, the world continued to
kick along as usual.
A most interesting case was OBJ
served in September of last year.
when the day of doom was sup
posed to be September 21st. A
group Of members of a certain
sect, who believed their prophet.
gathered in the prophets home to
meet the end together. The exact
minute for the world shattering
end was even tabulated, but it
was bacon and eggs as usual that
morning.
Several other groups last year
predicted the end of the world
and set dates. The same has been
true in every year for decades.
Thus 1855 will have its normal
crop of end-of-the-world predic-
tons.
Our advice is to live and let
live, on the assumption that when
the end of the world comes, there
will be nothing one can do about
it. While we admit that on certain
occasions in our life we have
wondered if the end was not clos
ing in on US, our outlook at pres
ent and our prediction is that
the world will outlive any of us
on earth today, and, therefore,
we believe there are other prob
lens which merit our time and
attention.

$500 QUESTIONS

Editor and Publisher, magazine
OF the Fourth Estate, recently pub
hshed a tabulation of the cues
tons asked President Eisenhower
at his weekly press conferences
since the beginning of his term
Of office.
The magazine found that the
President had been asked some
$500 questions, and that they
ranged into almost every field.
The significant thing about it all
is the readiness of the President
of the United States to meet the
press and answer any questions
which are put forward.
That does not mean the Presi-
dent answers every question asked,
but if he can and if it does not
violate security, he makes an at
tempt to answer them. We can
think of no more democratic
process, actively working, any
where else in the world.
This American custom, which
1t has become in the last two dec
AIDES, enables every newspaper
with Washington representation,
and even some of those without it,
to forward questions of their read
ers to Washington for presentation
to the President.
Thus, the lowliest citizen can go
to the highest citizen in the u. s..
and get an answer to his question,
through his newspaper.
In no other country is such a
process available to the average
citizen. Therefore, in no otner
country is the relationship be-
tween the President and the aver
age citizen so close. This is a sig
%nificant, and important, founda-
ton of democracy as we know
it in the United States.
