ther result was a sharp notice
from Majority Leader Lyndon john

ironed out its differences, the probe
would be turned over to a Demo-

Dear Friends:
Last week IN our Topeka daily
paper / read q story about the big
gest bear on earth, the huge Ko-
diak brown bear of Alaska. The
closest / have ever been to Ko-
diak bear was in Elko. Nevada, and
of course that one was stuffed. In
the middle of nowhere stands the
Stockmen's Hotel and Il s an oasis
in the desert, SO practically every
motOrist stops there for breakfast
lunch or dinner, whatever time OF
day it might be. This heel engages
name bands, celebrities. and, OF
course there is always a gambling
casino in any Nevada hotel. They
feature steak dinners since this is
the center of western cattle coun-
try. Bing Crcsby's ranch Is just a
few miles out of town.
Well, to get back to the bear. The
first thing that caught my eye as
entered the hotel was this Kodiak
encased in this huge glass upright
coffin. The bear lowered 10 feet
eight inches and when alive weigh
ed 100 pounds. A big game hunter
by the name of E. J. Samuelson OF
Salt Lake City shot the bear al
Kodiak Island in Alaska. It was an
impressive piece of taxidermy.

who formerly was stationed in Alas

north make Alaska seem like an

Uranium will have its uses, but
for many years these will be con-

cially in connection with ammuni-
ltion, shipping, guided missiles and
movabls electrical plants. Uranium,
however, is subject to many COM
petifors, including water power,
oil natural gas and cheap coal.
These other natural resources will
hold down the price of uranium,

More Famine Than Feast

What started out to be How
high is too high?" investigation of
aircraft industry profits on Defense
contracts is turning out to be a
study of How low is too low?"
In hearings before the House
Armed Services subcommittee on
special Investigations, conducted by
Chairman F. Edward Herbert
(Dem) of Louisiana, testimony of
the nations plane builders indi-
Gates that their job is more famine
than feast.
The staggering cost of research
and development activities and ia
cilities which must be maintained
constantly by teams of scientists
and engineers if we are to retain
technical superiority in the air can
not be met, according to the wit
nesses, out of presently allowable
profits. One witness cited months
of delay and increased cost of de-
velopment on new models through
lack of q super-sonic wind tunnel.
Considering that our Qualitative
Lead over other nations in the
air is presently involving such
problems as metals that will not
melt at 1000 mph speed, jet en-
gines to produce $4,000 pounds of
thrust and flight from 100000 feet
to 100 miles above the earth, it is
obvious that the industry's scien-
tific and engineering teams must
have the tools they need if they
are to find the answers-and find
them first.
Especially enlightening to the
investigators-w could point to
high profits for each manufacturer
in certain years--is the realization
that this peculiar industry operates
on a ten to fifteen year cycle That
is, for each new plane, there is
usually years of development and
testing at little or no profit and
frequently at loss. Next there is
the initial production period of
high costs and finally, few years
Of steady, efficient profitable pro-
duction before the cycle starts all
over again.
But certainly the most important
outcome of the investigation will
be the subcommittee conviction
that this essential goal of techni-
cal superiority in the air depends
upon the incentives to achieve the
impossible-day in and day out
that can only be supplied by a
competitive, privately-owned in
dustry.

WATER, WATER NOWHERE

Except for Idaho, Mississippi and Rhode
Island, all the states are affected to some de-
gree by water shortage
Michigan, though bounded on three sides
by 87170 square miles of fresh water, is
deeply concerned about the problem. Detroit
recently installed a 200-million-gallon pump
ing station, but has had to impose bans on
certain uses of water at various times. Since
the manufacture of one automobile involves
$4,000 gallons of water, mostly for cooling
hot metals, the auto industry is seriously dis
turbed.
In Arizona, the situation has reached a
point where officials report that unless new
water supplies are found, 100000 acres now
under cultivation may go idle. For Califor-
MAS zoOming population, expected to reach
23,50O,000 by 1875, water is pumped from
underground sources at the rate of 1000 bill
lion gallons year.
In New Mexico, the underground water
table is dropping so fast in the eastern high
plains that supplies may be exhausted within
the next 40 years. Louisiana's underground
water levels have gone down some 200 feet
in 20 years. In Nevada, over-pumping of
wells has caused water levels in the Las
Vegas area to sink two or three feet in IL
years.
The situation is similar in other states
We have it here in Delaware. Yet Ameri-
cans, accustomed to an over abundance of
water, are not yet greatly concerned about
the new situation. To make sure that water
is retained by the ground, and that available
water supplies are used wisely, national
conservation program may be necessary.

Season To Open


The formal opening Of the Uni
versity of DeIaware's 1856 base
ball season is only about a week
off, but the battle for regular po~
sitions on the Blue Hen nine con-
tinues.
Coach Harold (Tubby) Raymond
announced earlier this year that
oIluo the season got underway he
would select the players who
would do the job" and go with
them, carrying a relatively small
bench. This has led to keen COM
petition for all nine top-level
berths.
Currently, the Delaware coach is
looking over three promising var
sity catchers. sophomore Earl Al

CoIcombe is a Pittsburgh native
and Thorp makes his home in New
ark, Del. Since all are good de-
fensive catchers, the batting ability
will probably be the determining
factor in the selection of the reg
uIar catcher.
Eugene Watson and Greer Me-
Masters, a pair of newcomers up
from last years frosh squad, are
cOntenders for the job at fret base.
McNasters batted 1886 for last
years freshmen, while Watson led
the team at the plate with a .474
batting average.

sports spotlight by pacing the

WE NEED MORE CAPITALISTS

During recent years, spending for indus
trial expansion and the physical improve
ment of plants of all kinds has been setting
new record after new record. And it is fore
cast that if future demands are to be met, our
corporations must somehow obtain 85 per
cent more money than has been raised since
1916.
In free enterprise economy, there are
two principal ways in which this money can
be raised. One is by borrowing either by
issuing bonds, which amount to mortgages
on the companies involved, or through bank
loans. The other is by obtaining what is
known as equity capital. This is done through
the sale of corporation stocks, which give the
buyer a share in whatever profits the COM
pany earns and distributes as dividends.
Constructive efforts are now being made
to expand stock ownership-and for cogent
reasons. First of all, the high fixed charges
that inevitably result from borrowing must
be paid in times of downturns in business as
we'll as in times of boom. This seriously inn
pairs corporation hexibility, and may bring
about excessively cautious and static finan-
cial policies. But full fexibility is maintain
ed when expansion money comes from stocks
for return on stocks is paid only when
earned
1t has been well said that what this nation
needs is ''not only more venture capital, but
also, in the most orthodox sense, more capi-
talists." Those who have faith in America
should invest part of their savings in Am
erica's economic future.

times it makes sad reading.
Take, for instance, the history of the in
dividual income tax. In 1929, the tax on a
$4,000 income was Sand for a married
person with two children and a $4,000 in
come it was a mere $40.
Now the tax begins at 20 per cent, on the
lowest taxable income levels From there it
goes swiftly up the ladder, reaching 81 per
cent at the top.
It's no wonder thst people still talk, visit
fully and nostalgicany, of the good old days.
