Air Chief Says
u. S. Has Lead
By the Associated Press

Secretary of the Air Force
Quarles says the United States
probably lags behind Russia in
adding to its air armada. But
he said this does not mean the
Russian force lis superior in
military value"
The United States, he said, has
"a clear air superiority, and this
lis particularly true in respect to
long-range striking forces"
Mr.. Quarles was interviewed
in the first of a recorded series
Iof American Legion broadcasts
on Survival in the Air Age"
The transcript was made public
yesterday. The Secretary is now
in Weisbaden, Germany.
Asked about warplane pro-
|duction, he said:
1.-THE free world bloc is pro-
|ducing more military planes to-
day than are being produced to
the best of our knowledge in the
Communist bloc. If, however,
one narrows this down to a
comparison of the aircraft being
produced for the United States
Air Force, versus the USSR air
force, it is probable that their
production rate is today larger
than ours"
Questioned about the United
States margin over Russia in the
military value Of its air force,
he said:
while it is probably true that
the superiority of today is not
as marked as it was in the post
World War II period, it is never
theless true that we still have
a clear air superiority. . :"
He expressed confidence that
in any about air power arms
race United States industry
could "out-develop and out
produce the Communist system"
Mr.. Quarles expressed CON
siderable concern" however,
over Russia's relatively rapid
progress in technical and scien-
tif1c fields"

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

IN THE PINK: The late pub
Usher Bernarr MacFadden was
a bug on physical culture, to
which he attributed his own
financial success. One time. he
noticed one of his editors read
ing Shakespeare.
why do you waste your time
on that?" he demanded. Where
will it get you?"
do you realize" retorted the
editor, that If Shakespeare were
writing today, he would be one
of the richest men in the world?
His royalties from the stage,
movies and radio would bring
him millions!"
That kind Of money impressed
even MacFadden.
Hmm" he muttered, "he
must have been in pretty good
physical condition"
REWARD: Bert Bell. commits
sioner of the National Football
League. was discussing several
disputed rulings with a group of
sports writer's.
Let us assume" said one
writer, that l am a player. My
team makes touchdown and I
am sent in to kick the extra
point. Just as the ball reaches
the crossbar, it bursts, half of it
going over the bar, and half
under. What would I get?"
You would get" replied Bell.
"a bill for $17.50."

The next fellows habits,
phobias and idiosyncrasies de-
serve your full consideration. If
you looked hard enough-and
dispassionately-you would find
you have some objectionable
habit or mannerism tucked away
in your personality makeup.
For example. you might be
afraid to get into an elevator.
Or shake hands. Or. are you
afraid Of heights? Do crowds
bother you? Are you hesitant to
be alone in the house?
AS Jimmy Durante says.
Everybody wants to get into the

fellow who has idiosyncrasies.
1t seems to be natural, human
failing to relish such condemna-
ton.
Before you do. however. ask
yourself II you are free of fears,

THE PROBLEM
TONI must tip of my friend
about his girls past associates.
ETHEL-The girl is really a
good sort. and Tom should mind
his business.
THE DETAILS
TOMMY wife and / are hav-
ing a disagreement that is caus-
ing us a great deal Of concern.
We have a close friend who has
started going out with a young
woman about whom there is
some question. ! feel that our
friend should be warned about
this girl because he may be in
for a great deal Of grief If he
her. My wife says we
should mind our own business. "
but that does not seem to me the
right attitude to take where the
happiness Of q close friend is at
stake.
This girl was mixed up in an
intimate way q few years ago
with a fellow in my office who
committed suicide. I think my
friend should be made aware Of
what happened.
ETHEL see that tragedy
much different than my husband
sees it.
His ONCE colleague was q
queer sort. an unstable but very
attractive person. The young
woman whom our friend is going
out with was no cheap light-of-
love. She felt deeply for that
man, and allowed herself to be
carried away by her sympathy.
His suicide was no reflection
on her. AS a matter of fact. he
was elsewhere involved, and the
sort of person who acted out a

tragic appeal for sympathy II
every woman he met.
I think this girl is not only
innocent of anything cheap, but
Ia girl Of exceptional charm anc
quahty. Our friend would bt
lucky to have her for his wife
and I would be happy to have
her in our circle Of close friends
I don't want to say anything
to anyone that would hurt
either him or her.
THE COUNCILS VIEWS
1t is always an extremely
delicate thing to tell tales tc
people in love.
In this case. Tom can rely on
his wife that the girl IN question
is not dangerous person against
whom his friend needs to be
warned. Women tend to be criti-
cal of each other, and If this
woman were a bad sort, we
doubt that Ethel would be lyri-
cal in her praise. We are inclined
to accept Ethel's appraisal OF
the young woman.
There is really no way of tell
ing the man anything about the
young woman without suggest
ing to him some adverse conclu-
sion about her. This may well be
extremely unfair.
If the young woman measures
up to Ethel's opinion of her, she
will probably disclose her story
Ito the man. Perhaps she has al
ready done so. In any event, 1t
would be far better If they did
not feel that their delicate secret
were being bruited about.
There simply is no way OF
discussing the unfortunate af-
fair Of the past without causing
irreparable harm. Ethel feels
that the young woman is not
only worthy. but exceptionally
$50. We advise Tom to have faith
in his wife's judgment and leave
this matter alone.
In a situation of this kind, re-
solve all doubts in favor of dis
erection and kindness.

1t still is far too early to ex.

DR.. Rhine and his associates here

existence of psi any longer. They
have many converts. The mathe.
NAUTICAL analyses seem fool-prooi
so much so that even the Sc.
verest critics no longer throw
any doubt on them. The Duke
workers now are engaged largely
in refining their techniques.
Their present researches now
fall under three headings, Oh
manifestations of psi. These arr
telepathy or mind reading; pre-.
cognition or clairvoyance; anc
sychokinosis, or influence oil

all be due to the same uniso.

itself may be composed of three
separate factors.
At present. Of course. nobody
has the faintest idea of what
psi" is. It is almost certainly
something immaterial - that /.
so far as the present most ad.
vanced techniques Of physics
chemistry and physiology arr
concerned. None Of it can bt
