Snow Screw May

Arctic Tactics

BOISE, Idaho, R- A vehicle
that screws" its way over deep,
snow is scheduled to show its
stuff Saturday at Wallowa, Ore.
The machine-called spiral
track snow tractor is likely to
revolutionize military tactics in
the arctic, the Idaho Military Dis
trict says. It was invented by
Leonard Ferguson of Wallowa and
financed by M/Sgt Junior Carper
Of the IND in Boise.
Most snow travelling vehicles
utilize tank-type tractor treads,
which distribute the weight Of the
vehicle and tend to keep it on top
of the snow.
But, Carper says, tread vehicles
will stall in snow more than five
feet deep-something the "snow-
screw" won't do.
Instead of tracks, the vehicle is
mounted on two revolving drums.
Each of these is II feet long and
80 inches in diameter. Welded to
the drums are Spiraling cleats
which make each cylinder look
like a giant screw.
The drums are mounted parallel
to the direction of travel. Then,
as they revolve toward each other,
they screw" the vehicle forward.
The IND says an experimental
model weighing $500 pounds has
operated at maximum efficiency
in snow more than five feet deep.
1t travels IL miles an hour and
can climb 20 percent grade, says
Ferguson.
Because the drums are hollow,
the vehicle will float on water. On
snow, the drums sink about six
inches below the SHOWS surface.

Newspapers Cover Culture and Sports;
Citizens Discuss Controversial Issues

as foreign correspondents are
concerned. they may say what
they please in their dispatches
to their own countries. They
do not have to submit any
thing to a censor.
Talking with some of the
leaders in the Spanish Parlia-
ment, this writer gained the
impression that there is far
more discussion and that more
differences of opinion develop
before laws are passed here
than is generally believed in
America. Thus. it is a fact
that the head of the state has
not vetoed a single law for
many years, and yet several
laws proposed by his cabinet
have been materially amended
or laid aside by the commit
tees of Parliament. The mem
bers of the Parliament are
chosen in part by elections
conducted by unions and pro-
fessional groups and other
organizations and in part by
municipal councils which, in
turn, are elected by the people.
The legislative system here
is different in that most OF the
work is done in executive ses-
sion by special committees, in
which, however. all parliament
tary groups are represented.
Once decision is reached by
a committee, the Parliament
itself-which meets four times
a year - merely ratifieS the
committee reports.
All one can say is that COM
parsons with the American or
British systems of legislative
procedure are not possible, be-
cause there is a distinct differ
ence in approach, in keeping
with the historic traditions
and attitudes of the Spanish
people.
So far as freedom of express
sion is concerned, it is signifi-
cant that there has been an
extensive debate carried on
recently in the press with re-
spect to whether the monarchy
shall be restored. This, OF
course, is a vital question here.
Even under the republic which
preceded the present regime,
there was not complete liberty
of expression in the press. For
there exists a belief here that
passions should not be allowed

Mrs. Eisenhower S Condition

people who were associated

that she has done much more
in the White House than she
was in the habit of doing.

People in this group like to
use the word "frail" applied to
Mrs. Eisenhower's health. She
is, they will say. on the frail
side.
Democrats froth at the
mouth over what they claim
is the success Republicans
have in giving the impression
it is somehow not cricket to
discuss the Eisenhowers per-
sonally. Their Illustration is
the more acute since they re-
call how freely the RooseveltS

upon.

President Eisenhower sought
to take the question of Mrs.
Eisenhower's health out of
politics with his reassurlng
comments at his press confer
ence. The Presidents tone and
mood were just right--sin-
cere and positive but not over
done.
The President rarely takes
such flights into personalities.
He is said to have consented
to this one on the advice OF
Republicans who feared a DRIFT
toward a situation where the
President and they themselves
might appear to be lacking IN
consideration for Mrs. Essen

Thouqh He Still Avoids Personalities,
He Doesn't Mind Influencing Congress

tration got through the last
Congress-and while the House
was in the midst of hot and
furious debate on the Demo-
cratic bill to kill the flexible
price supports and restore rigid
price supports at 80 per cent
of parity.
Nor did White House ex-
preston of opinion on pending
legislation stop with that.
Soon after the news conference,
the President struck a blow
for the bill to extend the
reciprocal trade program in
broadened form which was be-
ing debated at the other side
of the Capitol, in the Senate.
This was through statement
by his press secretary. James
Hagerty. which described the
measure as it came from the
Finance Committee to the
floor as Satisfactory" to the
President. It is not "Satisfac-
tory" to a number of Senators,
more Republicans than Demo-
Gratis: but the President thus
put himself on record against
changes they were proposing.
Nor was this weeks inter-
vention in hot fights on Capitol
Hill the first by the President.
1t has been going on sporadi-
cally for some time.
His procedure, however, Is
a sharp change from the atti-
tude in the earlier phase Of
his administration and well
into the last Congress. He
leaned over backward to keep
himself completely away from
the slightest appearance of
telling Congress what to do.
To the point, in fact, where
he was criticized for lack of
leadership" and implored by
some of his well-wishers to
exercise his power and prestige
with Congress. This the Presi-
dent is now doing, though
gently and courteously.

Republicans Urged President to Reossure

The President was irked and
Republicans. only too glad to
humor their best asset at no
cost to them, leaped joyfully
into the fray. They not only
razzed Mr.. Butler, who was
certainly ill-advised, but they
gave the impression that the
whole story was stuff and nom

About this time Mrs. Essen
hover contracted the res
piratory infection which sent
her to the farm at Gettysburg
to recover. This got little at
tention but when she returned
to the White House after a
month, kept some engagements
and then had to cancel a
weeks schedule, the story nat
urally was revived. Calls be-
gan coming into headquarters
asking what the real lowdown
was.
The President says his wife
is a good, healthy person
though not as robust and
strong as some people. She is
having trouble, too, he said,
with some of the drugs COM
monty used to treat infections.
He also said she had been
better the past two years than

The Chinese Communist
build-up in the Formosa Strait
invasion area has been COM
pleted. The Reds are poised to
strike at a moments notice.
But despite this readiness no
attempt at an invasion is ex-
pected to occur until Peiping
can see the results of the dip
lomatic softening-up processes
applied now on Washington by
their well-wishers.
These started in all earnest
ness soon after the Banding
conference. From London and
Karachi, from Paris to ia
karta and New Delhi, Wash
ington is receiving advice,
admonitionS and warnings to
do nothing rash and negotiate
with the Chinese Communists
for the sake of world peace.
The State Department has not
lost sight of the significance of
Pakistan Prime Minister Mo-
manned Ali's acceptance of an
invitation to pay state visit
to Peiping. Pakistan does not
recognize Red China and until
Mr.. Ali met Chou En-lai at
Banding the two countries
were not on speaking terms.
But under pressure from Lon
don and because of the policy
of peace at any price of the
once-powerful West, the PAX
istan Premier decided to bury
the Ratchet and accept Mr..
Chou's invitation.
The Communist leaders are
now sitting back and awaiting
Developments. There is moth
ing they can lose by delaying
an attack on Matsu and Que
moy. If the softening up proc
ess of Washington by their
well-wishers is unsuccessful
highly hypothetical contin-
gency-they can always un-
leash their forces against
Chang Kai-shek's troops
without asking for any "by
your leave" from anybody.
While a month or so ago
they were seriously worried
about an American air and
naval intervention Whic h
would have doomed their ag-
gressive projects, today they
feel confident that they need
not fear such intervention.

same way they tied the hands
of the high command IN the

was denied by Washington.

RUSSIANS SEEK
TO USE MOON IN
TELECASTiNG

LONDON, May S (P.--
Moscow Radio said last night
that Soviet scier lists are
reaching for the moon in an
attempt to extend the range
of Russian TV.
Prof. Semyon ISidorovich
Katayev, in a broadcast
monitored here, told Moscow
listeners the Russians were
discussing the possibility Of
using the moon as a re-
f1ector for sending back tele-
vision signals to earth"
1t would enable Russian
TV transmissions to be re-
ceived almost anywhere the
moon shines instead of in the
comparatively short range of
the. present earth-bound
tranSmisSionS.
The range of TV signals is
limited by the fact that they
follow straight lines and do
not bend with the curvature
of the earth.

THOMAS L. STOKES

President Eisenhower has
revealed a change of tactics IN
handling Congress.
: He still scrupulously AVOIDS
personalities" as he describes
his repeated refusal to be
drawn into controversy with
individual members OF Con-
gress. But, as for the institu-
ton as a legislative body, ne
has got into the habit OF
speaking up publicly in the
attempt to influence Congress
on issues in which he is deeply
interested - like the gentle
manly ringmaster in the circus
popping his whip without
, touching the horses.
And he talks out right in the
midst of consideration OF such
issues by Congress.
In that respect, his opera
lions represent a contrast with
his two Democratic predeces-
sors. Rough and ready as they
were, Presidents Roosevelt and
Truman carefully refrained
from interfering publicly when
specific bills were in the action
stage in Congress, after having
previously stated their views
broadly, though neither, as we
can remember, was slow to
whiplash Congress collectively
and, on occasion, individual
members.
This reporter has sat III news

ence where efforts were made
to draw out those two Demo-
cratic Presidents on bills before
committees or actually on the
floor. Both declined, saying
always they could not discuss
measures while they were I'M

wait submission of them to the

disapproval.

Of his predecessors often did.
He merely expresses his own
views rather positively, and
lets it 60 at that. The method
upon which his two Democratic
predecessors relied chiefly was
to exert pressures behind the
scenes upon Congress to get
what they wanted. They were
plenty busy at that. The
present administration uses
such tactics also, which are in
fact almost routine with every
administration.
President Truman. you may
recall, castigated the 80th
Republican Congress as the
worst in history" and called
some of its veteran Republic

dulged in personal feuds. Fa-
nous was his crack embracing
Senator Harry F. Byrd of Vir-
ginia and by inference some
of Mr.. Byrd's Southern Demo-
cratic colleagues-"there are
too many Byrds in the Sem

his own party in the 1888 pri-

DAVID LAWRENCE

MADRID, May Spain is
a big surprise to anyone who
has never been here before.
For the impression formed in
advance is that here is a to-
talitarian country with troops
everywhere and with an OPP
pressive discipline imposed on
the people.
Actually, Spain has every
appearance of a free country,
and it is making substantial
progress in recovering from
the civil war that cost so many
hundreds of thousands of lives.
Tourists who flock here are
finding beautiful landscapes,
modern hotels and good roads
for motoring. Businessmen
from other countries who are
beginning to take second look
at commercial opportunities
here are discovering that they
can play an important role in
the nations economy.
Remembering that in Amer
lea it took several decades to
recover from our own Civil
War and that postwar condi-
tions were far from happy,
especially in the first 10 years
of the reconstruction era, one
can sense the preoccupation
here about the Importance of
preserving national unity and
about keeping extremists from
stirring up through the press
, the very ideologies which led
to the conflict in arms.
For Gen. Franco. who is the
. head of the state, decisivefy
defeated communism and is
determined that it shall not
inject it's insidious poisons
again in the political or eco
nomic body of Spain.
a~ The newspapers here are OF
excellent quality in their COW
erage of everything from cul-
tural activities to sports.
They print. more news about
what is going on in the out
side world than do many OF
the newspapers in France. So
far as delicate questions OF a
domestic nature are concerned,
the editors are aware that
they must not be provocative
and must deal with them cau-
tiously during this period OF
transition. It's a kind OF vol
untary censorship. But so far
