On Thursday we were told that
the Officers Club pool was open
for the first time this season. Our
day was already too full to go that
day. but bright and early the fol-
lowing day. Friday. the children
wanted to know if / thought It
would be warm enough for swim

way to the pool to have lunch with
Hayes and spend, we thought, the
afternoon. The sun rejecting on
The pool and the white cement
around the pool was too much for
our barely tanned skin and we had
to cut our afternoon dip short The
children were most anxious to see
if they could still swim. At the
end of last summer they were just
beginning to really be on their
own in the water Sure enough they
could still act like mermaids and
they were two happy little girls.
Would like to tell you all at
home what the American Red Cross
is doing for the tornado disaster
victims at Ruskin Heights that my
column last week dealt with. They
are nearing their goal OF one mill
lion dollars to help those who lost
so much May goth when the storm
took all their possessions. Mach
publicity has been given to the
fact that the victims will receive
their share of this money as a GIFT
and not loan. The cleaning up is
well under way and they expect
many of the homes to be replaced
by the end of the summer.

Russia has always thought in

Europe when the time seemed ripe
for an attack. However, with the
Free Nations of Europe learning to
use nuclear weapons, war; are
swiftly moving onto push button
basis The great masses of Russia,
China and the Moslem nations will
be only nuisance to clutter up
battlefield under such conditions.
Premier Nehru recognizes this, and
that is why he is eager to remain
neutral. ElectrOnics and the atom
will cause tremendous changes not
only in warfare,-but in education!

to graduate this month. They VIII

we oldsters had I wish the schools

these changes. Better pension on
the professors who can teach only
the. orthodox old-fashioned courses,
instead of forcing these courses
on our young people so that they
can get a degree.

will mean that young graduates
will need good character more than
ever before. Better training in

be absolutely essential Ill this new

More Boom Than Bust

The Hsonic boom, that has been
charged with more havoc than
could be created by an atom bomb,
is nothing new. We had tin a
small way-long before the Wright
brothers flew their 40 mile-an-hour
plane.
We are indebted for this infor-
nation to Senator Barry NJ. Gold
wafer, the one and. only qualified
jet pilot in the u. S. Senate and
colonel in the Air Force Reserve.
The initial sonic boom, he says,
was created by the first mule skin
ner to crack a whip over his team.
In urging mules to cooperate, the
Senator explains, "the tip of the
whip actually exceeds the speed of
sound and causes the characteristic
sharp crack.
When the same effect is accom-
plished on larger scaie. by jet
pilot bursting through the sound
barrier, the echo may be heard
! in WashingtOn-in a flood of COM
plants from househOlders that may
or may not be justified. This man
made thunder, writes Senator
Goldwater in the current issue of
Planes, official publication of the
Aircraft Industries Association, lis
one of the most highly misunder-
stood phenomena of high speed
fight, and has been blamed for
destruction that couldn't have been
inflicted by an atomic bomb"
In order to find out what damage
| sonic boom can accomplish, an
exhaustive study by scientists and
structural engineers of the Wright
Air Development Center establish
ed conclusively a number of things
t cannot do.
'The researchers found out many
things, reports Senator Goldwater,
but it should be a matter or relief
the citizenry that +. the sonic
loOm, from usual operating alti-
tudes:
Cannot crack foundation walls
| r pavements.
Cannot crack plaster walls in

,odes.
Cannot cause roofs to buckle or

ge, but under some circumstances

"Ordinary window glass, the
Senator points out, properly in

IS to 20 pounds per square foot-a
much greater force than the boom

whose job will be to secure new
customers. New qualifications are
a must for the June graduates who
hope to get good jobs. The field OF
advertising and selling is still in
its infancy, and marvellous oppor-
tunities exist for those willing to
train properly for it.
What The Changes Mean
C1) Manual and routine labor will
gradually become obsolete.
90 Those who cannot readily
learn new skilIs will be kept on at
reduced hours, but with the same
take-hOme pay. This will boost the
Do-it-yourself industries!
90 Only the serious and intelli-
"nrt employees will get raises.
There will be no limit on salaries
for those with the necessary char
acter, brains. initiative and loyalty.
(4 Our great problem will not
be to raise crops. build homes, or
manufacture gOOds,-but to get
people to buy Hence. instead of
subsidizing farmers, we may even
tually subsidize merchants and
statesmen.

come expert machinists instead of
lawyers, trained outside statesmen
instead of inside pencil-pushers,
and after graduation to attend

Dear Friends:
Tuesday, May the 2Sth, was our
daughter Lynne's 10th birthday.
Months ago on television Lynne
and Dawn saw the 0zzie Nelson's s
give a Come AS You Are" party.
They were certainly intrigued and
didn't quire understand it all and
for days afterwards they were ask
ing Hayes and me questions.
When Lynne's birthday rolled
around | knew exactly the kind of
party she would have. The day be-
fore her birthday at 1880 in the
morning we drove around to twelve
little girls homes and invited them
to the Come AS You Are birthday
party. All but one little guest was
attired in pajamas. Some still had
their hair in curriers', some were
bare foot, some wore mis-matched
pajamas, etc. 1t was so much fun
seeing our children's excitement
mount as they heard each guest
walking, to answer the front door
Lynne toted tablet and pencil to
each front door and jotted down
what each little friend was wear
ing so there would be no cheating
l think I can say the party was
a bowling success. Of course we
knew what to expect as everyone
arrived, but the other guests en-
ioyed seeing their friends in theil
early morning attire. I had plan
ned for the children to go on q
scavenger hunt, but since they
were all in pajamas l had tc
change plans.
May the 30th Hayes was home
ali day and we did enjoy having
him for the holiday. Many special
days mean nothing TO us as far as
vacation goes, because Hayes usu-
ally has to fly for SAC. We spent
the day working in our garden

CONGRESS AND DEFENSE MONEY

The prevailing atmosphere in the House
of Representatives indicates the Defense
Departments budget requests are going to
be cut. We did not anticipate that the House
would be ready to whack huge defense re-
quests this year, although we have predicted
that this was an inevitable development, mil
itary expenditures being what they are.
In recent days, the House Appropriations
Committee chopped some S2,587, 100000
from the original Defense Department ap-
preparation requests, which was $36, 1885,
100000. AS soon as this cut was made, the
President and Defense Secretary Charles E.
Wilson asked that at least half the cut be
restored.
However, a scene occurred on the floor
of the House shortly after this appeal which
indicates the sentiment prevailing in the
lower legislative body. A Democrat, a men,
Der of the House Appropriations committee,
defended the committees action and was ap-
plauded by both Republicans and Democrats.
Moreover, Republican members of the House
arose to defend the position taken by the
Democrat and that of the Appropriations
committee.
This would indicate that the House, at
least, is in mood to cut defense expendi-
lures II is difficult to say that military
budget OF over $36, 900, 100000 cannot be cut
without impairing the nations security. It
is also ulIlculC IOf an eOlIOr, or clIlZen lar
removed from the scene of budget study, to
say where the cuts should be made.
And, if Congress feels that the military
requests for fiscal 1858 can be reduced after
studying the proposed budget, and being
aware of the international situation then
this judgment is not necessarily frivolous.
In our system of government, Congress
often makes mistakes. So does the Execu-
tive Branch and the Pentagon. Therefore,
Congress having granted huge defense bud
gets for many years in succession and having
supported the foreign policies of both Demo-
cratic and Republican presidents consistent
ly, chances are that Congress is more right
than wrong

Another Red Victory

In pulling the plug on the trade
embargo against Red China-and
offering incidentally a thumb-to-
nose Memorial Day gesture in the
direction of the U. S.-Britain' s
Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd
has caused our State Department to
be most disappointed
This follows in the pattern of
Britain's recognition of Red China,
which we had also vigorously Op-
posed. It is expected that Japan
fairly bursting with goods for ex-
| pOrt-will follow the British lead,
with France, Belgium and West
Germany making their commercial
Obeisance to Mao Tse-tung a little
more deliberately.
Mr.. Lloyd told the House of
Commons that his government will
continue to bar strategic goods
| (whatever they are) but will eX-
port about 200 of the $50 to 500
items barred in 1851 by the allied
embargo 1t happens, however, that
the British have long been shipp-
ing the newly-allowed items to
Russia-whence they may be free
ly transshipped to the Red buddies
in China Thus, the decision to ship
direct would not appear to be eco
nomically stupendOus. But, having
broken the faith, it is not yet ap-
parent what is to restrain the eager
traders from dealing in the So
called strategic goods" as we'll.
For our own part, says the State
Department, we will stick to our
total ban. Red China remains
an enemy, after all-Of England,
as well as U. S. 1t may be recalled
there has been no Korean peace
only a broken-backed truce.
What the British action and
British example may mean in
speeding the Fed Chinese war
build-up remains to be seen. But at
the very least, it is a tremendous
moral victory for Mao and like
Iy to prevent the breakdown of
Chinese Communism that seemed
imminent. And it is fantastic to
think that England can derive a
profit from this shabby business
that will Offset the blow that she
has dealt the free world
There can be no suitable or sane
retaliation for this breach of faith.
The best the U. S. can do is look

to it's own economic armor. And
the first step, it would seem, would
be to cancel our GAIT agreements
with Britain, and with every other
country that enters the Red China
trade. In fact, were the Japs to
rush into China with the cheap
goods the Reds want, it would solve
serious problem for us-and
could make cruel joke of Britain's
reckless decision.
Oriental Mystery
As might have been expected, Red
China has moved promptly to ex-
plot the Taipeh riot in which the
American Embassy was destroyed
(although the State Department
says the code-room had not been
broken into. or our codes "com.
promised, as was reported ear
lier), and offices in the USIA build
ing completely gutted. Peiping is
taking double advantage in renew
ing both it's attacks on Chang and
its demands that Americans &C
home. Moscow chimes in, citing the
riot as the result of American con.
tempt for Asians.
But we have yet TO hear that il
was the Reds VINO organized the
six-hour reign of terror and de.
struction-and not the NatiOnalist
Chinese themselves Nor has any
one explained how-with Our vas
Central Intelligence Agency lurk
ing everywhere, we could be caught
so f1at-footed unless U. S
officials wanted Chang in the dog
house. We hope that Foster Dulles
asks CIA boss, brother Allen, some
time.

the Treasury George NJ. Humphrey

dent, will, according to Chairman

Henry Maull and Rhoda Bennett
Tunnell His father was a farmer
and seaman whose political in
terests were with the Democratic
Party.
He went to school in Baltimore
Hundred, where the family's farm

to keep within the anticipated $40
billion total expenditure for the
fiscal year beginning next July, the

quire very serious retardations
elsewhere.
However, there are no signs Of
"retardations" serious or other

Even in our most outrageous ex-
