Getting All the Facts

1t is evident that the latest-and,
we hope, the last-study of sites for q
second Washington airport will be thor
ough and authoritative, as It should be.
With typical military efficiency, Lieu
tenant General Quesada, chairman Of
the Always Modernization Board, has
laid plans for an expert survey of air
traffic needs, terminal requirements and
possible sites followed by public hear
ings on the findings. This orderly and
objective approach to final solution Of
the local airport problem is sensible
one, tending to inspire public confidence
in and support of the boards recon-
mendations to Congress next January.
General Quesada, acting under a
mandate from Congress, Is to be the
supreme arbiter Of the long controversy
over a site for new airport. 1t was
the understanding when the Congress
agreed to appropriate funds for start
Of airport construction next year that
the decision of the Quesada board would
be controlling--even If that decision
favored the site at Burke. General
Quesada's determination to employ ex-
pert consultants to help the board
arrive at correct decision is UNDER
standable, in the light of the heavy
responsibility which Congress imposed
on him.
Accordingly, General Quesada has
engaged well-known firm of consult
ants to survey all available sites in the
Washington area and recommend two or
three which are best adapted to airport
purposes. Then public hearings will be
held on each site. The board will base
its final choice Of site on the facts and
opinions thus assembled. Best of all,
the Quesada inquiry will have the adj
vantage Of being conducted in an atmos-
phere free from political pressures OF
the sort that have brought Washington's
airport movement to an impasse. There
is good reason, therefore, to hope for an
early settlement Of the dispute, opening
Che way for actual construction OF the
urgently needed second air terminal,

recent G calculations have
shown that some billions Of
years would be required to

some Of the neteorites.
Resolving this discrepancy,
he says, is one Of the most
pressing problems In solar
system astronomy. Most
meteors that actually hit the
earth and become meteorites
are small and their impact
Is unobserved. There are
however, DR.. Rhinehart says,
at least 10 authenticated
instances of large meteoric

Such observations, he
points out. may go far to
clear up the tangled relation
ships among comets, meteors
and the curious phenomenon
known as zodiacal light which
is believed to be due to ag-
gregations of meteors, and
the effect Of corpuscular
radiation from the sun on
small particles in inter-
planetary space. This corpus
cular radiation-streams Of
minute particles shot out
with nearly the speed Of
light at irregular intervals
from the face Of the sun
almost certainly plays an
important part in their dis

nominees for election by
ballot. Are write-in votes
legal in the election ballot?--
@. A.
A. Yes. Election is a sepa-
rate process. If 1t is large
enough, a write-in vote can
elect a member who was not
nominated. The nominating
ballot merely limits the num-
Der Of names of candidates
on the formal ballot. and 1t
does away with nominations
from the floor. since each
member has an opportunity
TO nominate for each Office.

made water-tight by daubing
with pitch, formerly in use
on the Mississippi and other
American rivers. These boats
were often fitted UP with
rooms and stores for house,
keeping and transportation
Of families.

One Interpretation of
Mother Goose characters is
that most Of them were
chosen so that the authors
could speak plainly about
living people.
This is one way Of doing It,
and a very effective way, in
some cases.
1t is impossible for an
adult to read his Mother
Goose without realizing that
much Of it has to do with
crime.

He stole q pig, and ran down

There was q blind man, as
we recall. who jumped himself
into q bramble bush and
scratched out both his eyes.
That he was able to Jump
back in again. and scratch
them back. was q miracle Of
something or other.
AS children's rhymes. they
mean one thing; as political
talk. they may have meant q
great deal more to those who
knew the inside.
1t is just as well that we of
today do not know the an
cient meanings, and can ac-
cept the delightful rhymes
at their face value.

Not only did the new lights

Thus good new things win

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
A Close Look at Comets and Meteors
BY THOMAS r. HENRI

Comets are true cosmic
ghosts.
Flashing across the heavens
like snakes of FIRE, these ce-
lestial visitors have been re-
garded by the superstitious
as foreboders Of evil.
Actually, says DR.. Fred L.
Whipple, director Of the As
trophysIcal Observatory Of
the Smithsonian Institution,
they are gossamer things
which probably do not exceed
3 EnilliOnth, or possibly q
billionth, Of the suns mass.
But however tenuous, says
DR.. Whipple in q report Just
published by the institution.
they are the source Of at
least 30 per cent Of the
meteors. or shooting stars,
visible to the eye or even
recorded on Photographic
plates. When these meteors
strike the earth's upper at
mosphere. friction with the
air molecules makes them
luminous.
Fragile and CrumbIy
Comets. DR.. WhippIe says,
consist largely Of extremely
fragile. crumbiy material. It
is unlikely that many stable
objects Of cometary origin
ever have reached the earth's
surface, But, he points out,
some microscopic meteorites
may represent minute bits Of
cometary solids that sOme-
how survive the long fall
through the earth's atmos-
phere. The large objects
that occasionally reach the
earth from outer space are
believed TO have a different
origin - possibly from the
asteroids. or small planets,
Of the solar system.
There are, he points out,
two well recognized types Of
meteorites. which have been
found in all parts Of the
world. First are the stony
ones. Second, and more
common. are the iron me-
teorites. The two, researches
now indicate, have quite diff
ferent ages and origins. The
age Of stony meteorites can
be determined with some
precision by various atomic
disintegration methods, such
as are used to determine the
age Of terrestrial rocks. Most
Of them turn out to be about
four billion years old.
Iron meteorites in the past
have been considered much
younger-not much more
than 300 million years. This
age was determined by meas

whose business 1t Is to understand and
explain what is going on In the Middle
East. Certainly, in way, It would seem
easier TO figure out the meaning OF tea
leaves Sprawled around the bottom OF
q cup than to divine the exact signifi-
canoe Of some Of the statements made
IN recent days by spokesman for
number Of Arab states.
President Eisenhower, for example.
has just received q message OF warm
friendship from King Saud Of Saudi
Arabia. But almost simultaneously
Ahmad Shukairy, the Saudi delegate to
the United Nations, has stood up before
the General Assembly to denounce
Arnerican-led policy in the Middle East.
Among other things. while castigating
the idea that the U. N. should look
into the situation, he has pooh
poohed the Importance Of heavy Soviet
arms shipments to Damascus. ridiculed
the alarm voiced by Secretary Dulles
and others over the sharp leftist trend
in Syria, blamed the West for creating
tension in the area, and called, in effect,
for the dissolution Of Israel
This sort OF thing has been heard
before from other Arab sources, and
maybe Mr.. Shukairy. who used to repre-
sent Syria in the U. n. has resorted
to extravagant language solely Of his
own choice, not the choice Of the
Saudi Arabian government. Yet It is
noteworthy that that government, de-
spite It's Arm Communist position
and King Saud's latest friendly note to
the President, has thus far failed to
disavow single word Of Mr.. Shukairys
vehement speech. And also noteworthy
Is the fact that Jordan, Lebanon and
Iraq, despite their earlier expressions OF
alarm, now appear to subscribe to the
thesis that there is nothing really
threatful In the way Damascus has been
receiving Soviet weapons and carrying
on policy Irritation with the Kremlin.
Possibly that is so, but there Is
ample reason to believe that Saudi
Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq, even
though they outwardly declare that the
danger In Syria has been exaggerated,
still feel some worry about what has
been happening in and to that country.
How then explain things like Mr.. Shu-
kairy's anti-Western speech? Even our
most seasoned experts on the Middle
East seem hard put to find a clear
answer. So one can only guess, and
perhaps as sound a guess as any is this:
That the Arab states, while differing in
many ways on many issues, share in
common q fervent spirit 81 nationalism
and desire to maintain at least the
appearance Of unity. especially the unity
of incorporating hostility to Israel,
whose creation and existence they hit
terly resent and hold against the West.
II such an analysis is valid, then the
United States, together with the West
in general, must reckon with the pros
pect Of continuing instability and
trouble in the Middle East, and Ameri-
can policy must be tailored accordingly.
But this Is something that can be far
more easily said than done. Indeed the
problems Of the area are so bafiling and
complex that Solomon himself would be
appalled, by them-particularly in view
Of the Kremlin's persistent effort to
advance its dominance aims by
striving to make the situation even
worse than 1t is.

A. This is a very old
method of obtaining the

tial oils from certain flowers
for the manufacture of per-
fumes. Glass plates. spread

covered with succeeding lay

the fat has absorbed and be-
come saturated with the oils.
1t is removed from the glass,
melted and filtered. This re-

number of times the fat has
been treated with fresh pet

subsequent treatment Of the
pomade.
