Pursued by Planes

Before moving to Burleith,
we lived in Georgetown.
When we moved. / thought
that we had left behind the
everlasting noise Of planes
flying low at all hours of the
day. We have found out.
however, that the noise in
Burleith is just as bad. and
the danger, too, as when we
lived in Georgetown.
Recently, I read that quiet
is supposed to set in soon,
because a searchlight is to
be lighted at night at Chain
Bridge. In our community,
we rather doubt how much
good a searchlight will be.
We were told, about two
years ago, that the airliners
we're being rerouted to fol-
low the river, and that all
would be quiet and safe.
However. / was never aware
that many planes actually
went along the river. Com
mercial planes continued to
screech low over our houses,
often four Of them at a time
at half-minute intervals. At
night there were more than
in the day. and they flew
even lower. 1t is one thing to
give directions. and another
to get the pilots to follow
them. "Offcials" told us
when we complained, Run
out and read the planes
number" Can you imagine
chasing out-of doors at two
o'clock on frosty morn?
BY the time one could get to
a window. the planes were
miles away, disturbin g
others.
No. do not think we need
more searchlights. pseudo
scientific talk or excuses.
All we are willing to settle
for now is quiet and safety
and a proper respect for fly
ing regulations on the part
Of airline pilots.

The cult arose in the heyday
of this rage for athletic

Since then, the importance
of whole wheat in the diet

1t is realized now that
many people simply cannot
eat it without harm to their
little insides. In some it
causes the skin to break out.
We knew one Chevy Chase
woman who had facial erup-
tons for many years. When
she finally went to the doctor
about this. the first thing he
asked her was, do you eat
whole wheat bread?"

When she did so, she her

Now that the Democrats
have scored some humping
victories at the polls. I hope
the Republicans realize that
by the time the 1860 election

Bosic Research

If this Nations existing
potential for creative basic
research is now a matter of
high national Importance,
scientists and engineers now
employed industrially should
not be overlooked. They con-
stitute an opportunity to
multiply several-fold what we
customarily think of as our
basic research capacity.
The resource existing in
the talents and personal in
terests of industrial scientists
is almost completely unused
for basic research today A
few large organizations in
highly technical industries
have found it profitable to
budget basic studies in their
own laboratories to secure
long range technical break
throughs. But for every in
dustrial scientist privileged to
work on such studies, there
are hundreds or thousands
with similar interests and
equal or greater talent who
are not so employed. The
utilization of our Nations
research potential will be
most incomplete without the
development of adequate
means to tap this immense
reservoir of industrial talent.
A national policy statement
on basic research is an OBJ
vious necessity if any sub
stantial advance over our
present situation is to be
accomplished. The Federal
Government must state in
unambiguous terms that basic
research knowledge is a ma
jor resource of our Nation,
and that the encouragement
and support of such research
is of prime national impor-
lance. Such a declaration,
with adequate implementa-
ton, would seem essential to
secure the vital cooperation
from industrial arrangements.
dustrial m an a g e.
ments should be willing to
cooperate in a properly con-
ceived program. Their crea-
tive scientists will be anxious
to participate. and cooper
ating companies will be better
able to attract and hold SUI
perior talent than will COM
panies not cooperating. A
good job of applied research
requires that the scientist
will be we'll acquainted with
b a S ic developments. and
more basic research per-
formed in a company's lab
oratories will tend to improve
the technical caliber of its
work on its applied problems.
Such benefits should be SUBJ
stantial enough to offset the
reduced time the company's
better scientists are available
to work on applied problems.
At very moderate cost our
creative scientists in indus
try. Government, and the
universities can be offered
inducements that will assure
a greatly increased output of
basic science. Many techni-
cal people would do basic
work if they could afford it.
A national basic science pro-
gram not only will produce
tangible technical results. but
will also have great morale
value in giving long-overdue
official recognition to the
basic scientists whose contri-
buttons are so profoundly i'm
portant in a modern society.

Nuclear physicists are
looking on the promised land
of fusion energy hopefully.
but from far-off hills.
"All the work." says an
Atomic Energy Commission
report, "still is very much in
the research stage. All de-
vices built thus far have been
designed for research pur-
poses. It is anticipated that
many years Of intensive work
will be required to develop a
prototype thermometer de-
vice which would yield more
energy than it would con-
sumo. After that many more
years would be required to
develop a full scale device
which might have a chance
of competing economically
with other sources of power.
Still the report on current
progress leaves little doubt
that in this direction lie the
ultimate hopes for large
scale utilization of atomic
energy.
Possible Fuels
Only the extremely light
elements, chiefly various
forms of the universal gas
hydrogen, can be considered
as possible fuels in fusion re-
actions, it is stressed. Part
of the reason for this is that
the force of repulsion be-
tween atomic nuclei increases
with the weight, or atomic
number, of the nuclei them
selves. Hence the tempera-
ture required to overcome
these forces of repulsion in
creased quite markedly with
the weight. A few elements
with somewhat higher atomic
numbers than hydrogen are
being considered, but the re-
quired temperatures conSti-
tute, at the best, a very diff
cult hurdle, the report says.
At the extremely high tenn
peratures necessary the only
matter which can exist are
wholly 'ionized" gases
that is. matter made up of
atoms which have been torn
apart into positively charged
nuclei and negatively charged
electrons. Such a gas is
called a "plasma." This
plasma, it is stressed, ra-
dates energy at a very ap-
preciable rate. No plasma can
remain at the necessary high
temperature very long if it
gives of energy faster than
it generates it, as has been
the case in some of the ex-
periments.
Under conditions of prac-
ticed interest,"" says the COM
missions report on progress
to date, when the tempera-
ture is increased the rate of
nuclear reaction rises faster
than the rate of radiation.
