ing Arlington. for q reduction,

GINA Electric & Power Co. APP
parently is subsiding.
The State Corporation Com
mission has just issued an audit
report which indicates the util-
ity realizes q rate Of return
of only 5.85 per cent on invest
ment.
This may come as a surprise
to some members of the Ar
lington County Civic Fedora
ton, q group of businessmen
in the Norfolk area and
similar organizations scattered
about the State.
In the fall of 1858 vepco
applied for an increase In
rates, claiming this would be
the first such raise In 80 years.
The schedules filed for
approval, the utility figured.
would produce an increase in
the gross operating revenue Of
$4.8 million a year. This in
turn would produce an in
crease Of some $2.2 million in
net revenue.
At the time Vepco Presi-
dent Jack G. Holtzclaw said
the utility was earning less
than the return which Is nee
essary to enable it to continue
to finance Its expansion on ia
vorable terms and 1t Is this
condition which We seek to
remedy"
In any case, the sec granted
the request, effective March l.
1854, by q 2-to-1 vote.
A. dissenting opinion by one
of the commissioners indicated
that q gross operating revenue
Of $3.8 million would meet the
company's needs while the
commissions own stan figured
an adequate increase would be
$3.l million.
A year passed and the Ar
lington Civic Federation. along
with the Norfolk area bust
nessmen and other groups,
began to compare the COM
pany's estimates with actual
earnings.

however, goes back much fur
ther. In another article In
Tekhnikd Molodesht. this one
in 1914, Mai. Gen. @. Pokrov-
skill, Of the engineering techni-
cal services. wrote, under the
title "a New Satellite Of the
Earth:
AT the outset, 1t ID necessary
that we consider this propo-
sition-to create an artificial
satellite Of the earth which
would fiy as near as possible
to the surface Of our planet.
The minimum distance ut
which such q satellite would
travel would be determined by
the density Of the atmosphere.
It is evident that the artificial
satellite Of the earth should
fly high enough so that the
atmosphere would not retard
its movement in any degree.
For the purposes Of expert
mentation. a height Of 1000
kilometers (625 miles, would
be sufficient.
THE speed Of the satellite
would be such that 1t would
travel in one minute from Mos
COW to Leningrad."
Editors note: This speed,
equivalent to about "A, 600 miles
an hour. seems excessive for
a 625-mile orbit. based on
standard calculations.)
That was the theoretical tip
of. The first public indication
Of official practical interest
came at q World Peace Council
meeting in Vienna in Noveln-
Der Of 1858. when A. N. Mes
meyanov. president Of the So
Wet Academy Of Sciences, said
that science has reached such
a state that there is a real pos
sibility OF sending a strato-
plane to the moon, of creating
an artificial satellite to the
EARTH"
With the sanction of the
president Of their academy.
the Soviet scientists were
warming up. In NeiDs. a Rus
sian propaganda publication
for distribution outside the So
Wet Union. Prof. Kirill Stanu-
kovich said:
What seems likely to me is
that the first station will be a
rocket containing instruments
to record the physical condi-
tons In space, and take a sam
pie Of moon ground
Then last fall, to spur sci
entists to greater efforts in
matters of space travel, the
Presidiun Of the Academy of
Sciences decided to award a
gold medal once each three
years for Outstanding re-
search In the field Of space
travel"
The medal honors the Rus
sian scientist Tsiolkovsky, spe-
cialist in jet propulsion, rock
cts and space travel. One
Russian writer said that in
1895 Tsiolkovsky thought and
wrote about the possibility of
creating an artificial satellite
:. serving as a scientific and
technical station for interplan-
etary routes"

BY JACK JONAS

Inc Russians, who indicate
they win be first to send up an
earth satellite - one much
larger than the basketball size
planned by the United States
at least have been thinking
big.
The big thoughts apparently
stem from the fact that in
nearly all their publish e d
material about them. they dis
cuss the satellites as an inter-
mediate step to realizing the
dream Of space travel.
Two years ago. Engineer B.
Liapunov, writing in TektniEa
Molodezhi. a sort Of popular
science magazine for Soviet
youth, discussed a huge satel-
lite which could be assembled
from parts Of rockets shot into
space. and used as q base for
further space travels. (This
idea was put forward in 1852
by American and German
scientists.)
Describing this theoretical
satellite. Liapunov wrote:
THE station above the earth
is assembled from parts Of
rockets sent up to circle the
earth and become satellites of
our planet. The rockets serve
as bases and construction ma
terial for the station. United
together. the bodies Of the
rockets form the first belt Of
the cylinder. in which are hv-
ing quarters. auxiliary rooms
and laboratories
Within the cylinder is Q
greenhouse for fruits and vege-
tables. Along the axle Of
the cylinder there is q tube
for receiving and discharging
rockets arriving and depart
ing. Beside it are machine
shops for repairing and refuel-
ing the rockets. Radio locators
help the navigation Of rockets
between the station and earth.
For communication with earth
there is radio equipment and
Q solar telegraph.
Power equipment consists
Of o mirror and . turbine
generators, set beyond the lin
Its Of the cylinder. There Is a
separate astronomical observa-
tory and telescope"
Long q Russion Topic
John T. Dorosh. head Of the
Slavic reference room at the
Library Of Congress and in
charge Of keeping track Of
Soviet publications, said the
Russians have been dreaming
and writing of satellites and
space travel since the 1880s.
However. there was not q
great emphasis on science and
technical advance under the
cars" he said.
Public attention in the West
was focused on the resurgence
last April, when the Russians
set up an Interdepartmental
Commission on Interplanetary
Communications in the Astro-
nomical Council of the Soviet
Academy of Sciences. On April
16. A. G. Karpenko, scientific
secretary Of the commission,
told a Tass correspondent:
"One Of the first tasks of the
commission is to organize work
for the establishment Of an
automatic laboratory to con-
duct research in space itself.
In the conditions Of such a
space laboratory which, being
situated beyond the atmos-
phere win revolve for a con-
siderable period around the

Talbot

Last Sunday. The Stars Jim
Bergman drew a cartoon
which showed President Eisen-
hover appointing Harold E.
Talbot to the job of "Secre-
tary of Outer Space"
Something along this line
happened shortly after Mr..
Berryman's cartoon appeared.
On Monday. Mr.. Talbot sent
President Eisenhower a letter
of resignation as Secretary
of the Air Force. Gently but
nonetheless firmly. the Presi-
dent accepted.
Mr.. Talbot became q source
Of considerable embarrassment
to the administration a few
weeks ago, when a senatorial
committee headed by Demo-
crat John l.. Mcclellan Of
Arkansas started looking into
Mr.. Talbott's business con-
nections.
What emerged from the in
quiry was the picture of a
man having a hard time keep
ing his private and public
business separated. No one
was prepared to say that any
thing Mr.. Talbot had done
was crooked. but by the same
token few people rushed in to
vouch for his ethics.
Politically, Mr.. Talbot
seemed. by last week end, to be
more Of a liability than an
asset to the Eisenhower adj
ministration. His self i'm
notation was inevitable, as was
Mr.. Eisenhower's acceptance
of his resignation.
Once Mr.. Talbot had re-
p signed, the question OF what
to do about him became moot.
Senator Mcclellan on Thurs
day announced the end of the
inquiry.

An Antidote to Capitalization
Of Government


/ One of the most meaningful re-
ports Of contemporary times was
released last week when the Com
mission on IntergOvernmental Re-
latiOns concluded a comprehensive
survey of the proper role of the
Federal Government in relation to
the States and their political sub
divisions to the end that these re-
! ldtionS may be clearly defined, and
the functions concerned may be al
lottcd to their proper jurisdic-
tons" 1t was my privilege, by APP
pointment of the Vice President,
to serve on this Commission.
The Commission has thus illum-
mated the variable scope of kim
ship between federal, state and To-
cal governments which has evolved
in our country. In so doing the in
hcrent dangers of Incorporate re-
lance on the Federal Government
have been brought into lucid and
graphic perspective, and series of
plausible recommendations for the
division of responsibilities in many
fields Of public endeavor have been
advanced.
In what might be regarded by
some as an underStatement, the
Commission mas observed that
People in the United States, as
elsewhere, have looked more and
more to government for assistance
in solving their social and economic
problems. The National Govern
ment has sometimes responded
more readily than have the State
and local governments" While, the
Commission, quite correctly has
not INDUCED in partnership, this
comment nonetheleSS capably
charactcrizes the climate of public
opinion in which the New Deal and
Fair Deal became potent and
fashionable.
As with the Hoover Commission
recently, the recommendations of
the Commission on Intergovern-
mental Relations have likewise
been the target for criticism by the
still-lingering disciples, dupes and
derelictS of the NeW-Fair Deal.
Fortunately, for the stability and
sanity of our Nation, however, there
are even now many, many millions
of persons, Republicans and Demo-
Gratis alike, who fervently believe
in the durable JefferSOnian doctrine
of strong State government
rather than a centralized Federal
government.
In this essential campaign to re-
juvenate the traditional Federal
State precept, these fundamental
guides as offered by the Commits
sion, should govern: I'VE have.
