A Vote for GobbIedygook

A firm of gun-makerS in New York
State produced in 1873 a contraption that
was the forerunner of the modern type
writer. How or why they located the
keyboard characters as they did is not
explained in handy reference works, but
the pattern has remained almost un-
changed for the past SO years. 1t has
taken almost that long for some users
among them, newspapermen-to hunt
and peck their way through the assort-
ment of scrambled letters, figures and
punctuation marks. Still, certain ia
miliarity has developed with this alpha
betical omelet and it is reassuring to
learn that an all-powerful Government
is not about to tinker with what has
become a way of life. Fortunately, four
months of scientific testing of so-called
Simplified keyboard has convinced Gov
eminent that it is just too late to make
all its hired guys and dolls change over
to. something that writes P-Y-F-G-C
when what they really want to write is
Q-W-E-R-T-Y. If there must be gobble-
dygook, by all means let it be spelled In
the old familiar way.

Final Appeal

The President has bowed to the in
evitable in reluctantly accepting the
$4,014,000 900 ceiling which Congress has
imposed on the foreign aid authorization.
His major effort now, as reflected in his
latest appeal to the legislators, is de-
signed to head off cut in the appropria-
ton of several hundred million dollars
under the authorized figure.
This effort is being directed primarily
to the Senate For the House obviously
is in no mood to heed the recommends
tions of the administration.
In his latest and presumably his last
appeal, the President said that the sue
ceSsive SlasheS made in the mutual Secu-
rity funds would definitely injure our
efforts to help lead the world to peace -
1t will be grave mistake" he added, If
Congress fails to restore a substantial
part of the Slashed funds.
1t is hard to see what more the PreSi-
dent can do to carry his point The de-
cision is squarely up to Congress. If it
remains deaf to Mr.. Eisenhower's appeal,
and if the evil consequences which he
foreSees should come to pass, there will
be no doubt where the responsibility lies.

Second Term Bid

President Eisenhower, for reasons Of
his own, is moving by easy stages in
breaking the news of his intention to run
again.
Presumably his reasons are tactical
in nature. The broad strategy of the
Second-term bid was laid out in the
dramatic announcement of February 20,
after the President had recovered from
his heart attack. That was an appealing
and, if one may judge from popular re-
action, an effective presentation. But it
IS hardly the sort of thing that can be
done a second time with comparable
effectiveness. There is always the risk
of anticlimaX, which the President and
his advisers quite UNDERSTANDABLE would
want to avoid. So the public declaration
made necessary by the June 9 operation
is being presented on Step-by-Step basis
First, the cheerful comment by smiling
Jim Hagerty, then the announcement
from John Sherman Cooper that the
President had asked him to run for
the Senate from Kentucky, and now the
unqualified assertion by Minority Leader
Knowland, fully supported and in detail
by Senator Bridges, that Mr.. Eisenhower
will seek second term. The President,
in due time, very probably will confirm
these forecasts, but he probably will do 1t
In a casual, almost offhand way.
Meanwhile, there is not the slightest
reason to doubt that Senator Knowland
knew what he was talking about He
said the President had not authorized"
him to make his statement, but his words
were those of man who was speaking
for the President, with the latter'S full
knowledge and approval.
Perhaps the most interesting COM
ment by the Californian was his report
that the President had told the G. o. P.
congressional delegation that he feels in
better shape than he did when he made
his February 20 announcement. This
suggests that Mr. EiSenhoWer's health is
really on the mend, and we trust that
nothing will occur in the future to set
him back. For the President is committed
to the race now, and he will need all OF
the strength and vitality that he can
muster.

Big Show, Little Park

1t was a great show, that All-Star
baseball game yesterday at Griffith Sta
dium-one that the late Clark Griffith
would have enjoyed with particular pride,
since it was being staged in his own park.
The stands were packed with more than
$4,000 paying fans, the weather was good
and the outstanding players of both of
the big leagues were fighting it out for
the glory of the two circuits and the
benefit of aging athletes. What more
could anyone ask, except home runs by
such Swatters as Mickey Mantle, Ted Will
liams, Stan Musial and Willie Mays? And
even this wish was granted
The elder Griffith would have had
but one regret. He would have deplored
the failure of the Florida avenue park to
accommodate all the other thousands
who wanted to see the annual classic.
More than 5000 Would-be StandeeS were
turned away at the gates, after 500 had
been admitted. Many more tickets could
have been sold to this great performance,
thus swelling the baseball players bene-

the great outdoor shows that otherwise
might come to our city.

Good Bonkinq

The World Bank-formally known
as the International Bank for Recon-
struction and Development-has just
completed it's first decade of operations
with a record of quiet but distinguished
achievement that has already done much
to promote the economic betterment OF
many people throughout the globe.
When it began its far-reaching work
10 years ago, the bank was concerned
primarily with projects designed to help
in the reconstruction of war-ravaged
Europe In 1948 however, it shifted its
main attention to the task of improving
living standards in the underdeVeloped
lands, where it has since financed nu-
merous undertakings in such key fields
as transportation industry and agricul-
ture. The resulting progress, though not
spectacular, has been good, solid and
enduring.
All told, since its founding the bank
which embraces membership Of SO
nations-has advanced almost $2.8 billion

Pace That Kills

Since statistics prove from
time to time that speeding is
one Of the greatest con-
tributors toward traffic acct
dents, then l often wonder why
the majority of motorists ad-
here to this destructive and
law-breaking policy.
If we could question vio-
lators who come under this
category, it would be found
that a certain number could
give no reason for it. Speed
ing would be just a habit with
them. On the other hand. we
would find those who would
offer as their reason, I'm a
hurry to reach some destina-
ton" If this be the motive,
then the solution to the prob
lem would be to use good COM
mon sense and start out a
little earlier. Anyone in
a hurry is apt to become reck-
less and dangerous.
AS we can see, the majority
OF our present-day roads were
not built for safe, high-speed
travelling. Yet. you will find
that some motorists have made
airlanes out of these YER
same roadways.
The situation is very serious
and requires the attention and
cooperation of everyone. Fail
ure to bring about an improve
ment in this urgent matter
will undoubtedly call for dras-
tic changes in traffic laws.

Plane Salvage Plan

AS an eX-Sailor and former
purchasing officer for the
Maritime Commission during
World War II, it occurs to the
writer that during the last war
the sides of the transports were
literally covered with debarka-
ton nets - permitting mass
embarkation and debarkation
of troops.
These nets we're, in effect,
rope ladders, some constructed
of flexible steel cable, others of
chain, ranging from 40 to 100
feet in length. These were sus-
pended from the ships rail to
the waters edge.
Surely some Of these ladders
are yet available, and it APP
pears such an arrangement
could be utilized in salvage
operations in the twin-plane
crash in Arizona. Suspended
from the top Of the cliff, they
would not only provide a lad
der for personnel. but wheeled
contrivances or sleds could be
lowered over the track thus
provided by their use.
Military vehicles provided
with winches could be dropped
by parachute to the ff-top
to provide power to raise and
lower such equipment.
This idea works fine on
paper.

WSTAS IN SCIENCE
ITS Hotter on Venus Than 1t Is Here
By THOMAS.R. HENRY

The temperature of the sur
face of Venus is more than
212 degrees Fahrenheit-hot-
ter than boiling water.
1t is hardly conceivable that
plants or animals in any way
comparable to those found on
earth live there.
This is a preliminary inter-
probation by physicists of the
Naval Research Laboratory of
very weak radio transmissions
now being picked up from
earth's sister planet, morning
or evening star. Venus is now
at about the nearest point to
the earth in its orbit around
the sun, slightly more than 81
million miles.
Early last month the first
radio transmiSsionS, in the 3.15
centimeter wave-length. were
picked up on the 50-foot radio
telescope at the laboratory and
1t has been possible to detect
them fairly regularly ever
since.
Unc0mfOrtably Hot
One of the first deductions
is that the surface of the
neighboring planet is quite I'M
comfortablyShot. as would be
expected on a body 81 million
miles nearer the sun. This con-
clusion was reached by COM
pairing the strength, or flux,
of the radio transmission re-
ceived with calculations of
what would be produced by
temperature alone with a per-
fectly absorbing black body the
size of Venus. This assumes,
the radio astronomers explain,
that all the radiation is due to
heat. There may be some other
cause, but it is quite improb-
able.
The observations may throw
some light on the thick cloud
cover which always shrouds
Venus and through which it is
impossible to penetrate to the
underlying land surface. No
body knows anything about
the Landscape of the sister
planet. Some have specialized
that it is a fiat, brown desert
throughout. Years ago there
were speculationS that the sur
face might be thickly forested.
What is the nature of these
clouds? They cannot be any
thing like the earths clouds.
composed of water vapor and
fine droplets of water. Spectre
scoping examination gives no
evidence of the presence of
water vapor. One theory ad-
vanced is that they are clouds
of dust. stirred up by winds
sweeping over the deserts of
Venus. This now is largely

discarded because reflected
sunlight from the cloud sur
face IS not redeemed as would
be the case if it were composed
of fine dust.
Presumably the radio trans 4.
missions come from the land
surface of the planet. 1t can
not be positively established.
however, that some of them do
not come from intermediate
layers, in the atmosphere, the
Navy astronomers say. If this
is the case, Venus would be
even hotter than conjectured.
OF all the planets in the So
lar system, Venus is most like
the earth in size and proxim-
ity to the sun. Before lack of
oxygen and water vapor in the
atmosphere was determined a
few years ago, many astrono-
merS considered it a much
more likely abode than Mars
for a high order of life such
as that found on earth. 1t
need not be much hotter than
this planet, astronomers be-
lieved. and possesses a thick
atmosphere of some kind. Mars,
on the other hand, was too
cold and had too thin an at
moSphere for any very ad-
vanced form of life.
An Astronomers View
A more recent conjecture is
that conditions on Venus now
are not greatly different from
those which obtained on
earth about a billion years
ago when life started. Life,
it is argued, may be just
getting under way on the
neighbor planet.
ON a cooling planet the
size of Venus" says DR.. H.
Spencer Jones, astronomer
royal of Great Britain, I'VE
should not expect to find oxy-
gen because oxygen is a chem
ically active element which
does not like to exist alone.
Oxygen is being continually
depleted from our atmosphere
by combining with other sub
stances and there must be a
source of repleniShment. This
is undoubtedly provided by the
vegetation of the earth's sur
face.
I'VE seem to see in Venus a
world where conditions are
somewhat similar to those that
the earth passed through mil
lions of years ago. Any life
on Venus can be, at the best,
only primitive plant life. 1t is
possible that life may be in
the process of gradual develop
ment and that millions of years
to come, when life on earth
may be near extinction, Venus
may be the home of higher
and higher FORMS"

Letter to Chionq

Chinese Nationalist on F0rmOSa have
been openly and uneasily wondering in
recent weeks about whether or not the
United States might be preparing to work
out with Red Peiping new arrangements
of kind that could undermine their
free republic. But now their misgivings
on that score have been effectively dis
PEELED by President Eisenhower in his
warm personal letter to Generalissimo
Chang Kai-Shek.
For the letter, hand-delivered to the
GeneraliSSimo by Vice President Nixon,
leaves no room for doubt about where our
country stands in the present context
of Far Eastern events. 1t stands where it
has always Stood-againSt the Chinese
Communist tyranny and on the side Of
the Nationalist. 1t has not wavered in
that respect, nor does it intend to in
today'S situation. This is So-and it will
remain so unless or until the current out
look undergoes great and fundamental
changes for the better-becauSe the
Kremlin'S smiles and Peiping'S recent less
bellicoSe conduct have not beguiled the
United States into miStaking appearance
for reality and proceeding from there to
a sort of witleSs dissolution of the mutual
security that has been built up against the
Still-present threat of Red aggression.
Thus, as President Eisenhower has
written to President Chang, "Interna-
tional communism alters its tactics from
time to time, but we have as yet no evil
dence of any change in its detectives.
The American people and Government
realize this. Likewise, let there be no mis-
apprehension about our own SteadfaSt-
ness in continuing to support the Republic
of China" These are words that scarcely
need to be elaborated upon. What they
mean, Selfevidently, is that the Peiping-
Moscow aXis-up to now at least-haS
given our country no reason to modify
the policy it has long been following.
Communist deeds, in short, are still al
together unsatisfactory and SO the solemn
defensive alliance between us and the
Nationalist has lost none of its force,
politically, militarily or otherwise.
True, since never" is a word that
cannot be prudently applied to the inter-
national future, American foreign policy
in this area conceivably will change some
day. AS of now, however, and as far as
can be foreseen, our country-from the
standpoint of both honor and strategic
interests so firmly committed to its
position in the Far East that no Nation
alist on FormoSa has ground for doubts
to the contrary. The President has done
a good and timely thing in reaffirming
this point. Not least of all, moreover, his
letter serves as a fitting answer to Pei
pings poisonous propaganda suggesting
to ChiangS followers that the United
States is an indispensable ally ready to
stab them in the back.
