Why We Soy

IMPORTANT PAPERS,: Any
government worker might easily
define this word. But few would
agree with the true meaning.
Red tape started in England as
a way Of tieing UP important
papers. It then spread to the
government, where a frequent
excuse for lack of action was
that a bill was tied up in a pack
age with red tape and was un-
available.

New Fuubus Incident

Governor Faubus has approached
the ultimate in absurdity In his latest
verbal shot at the Army.
He has exhibited a picture, which
has been published in the newspapers,
showing Major General Sherburne,
commander of the 10lst Airborne Di-
vision, a colonel and an aide walking to
a helicopter parked near Little Rocks
Central High School. In doing so. the
three officers walked through a group
OF girls participating in a gym class on
one Of the playing fields. Governor
FaubuS says they "indiScreetly" walked
among "Shorts-clad girls during their
gym class" This is silly enough. But
he also said that this incident. plus
another picture showing two soldiers
walking past another outdoor gym class.
ARE an indication that the other
(charge) could be true" This other
charge. also made by the Governor. is
that paratrooperS were present inside
the school in a girls dressing room while
the girls were dressing and undressing.
For our part, we think the first
complaint is absurd on its face and we
do not believe the other charge is true.
With respect to the latter, the Governor
says he has names. addresses and tele-
phone numbers "-preSumably of wit
nesses to the alleged dressing room in
cident. He also says, however, that
he will not disclose them because

soldiers put in danger of courts martial
This concern for the soldiers comes
as touching surprise. But II the charge
Is true they should be court-martialed,
and we are at loss to understand why
Governor Faubus, of all people, is pro-
tecting them. The simple answer. we
believe, is that the charge is not true.
and the Governors concern for the
troopers, the students and the teachers
is a smokeScreen designed to cover up
the fact that he has made this accuSa-
ton without any evidence to support it.
Add this latest accusation to his
recent baseleSS charges against the FBI,
and we are at loss to understand how
Governor FaubuS can expect anyone to
believe anything he says.

The Milwaukee club has been taking

the groundwork was well done, and the

Constructed Airport

1t is plain from the Civil Aeronau-
tics Boards study of air service In the
Washington area that lack of second
airport is preventing any further i'm
provement in service for the District Of
Columbia. Our old airport at Gravelly
Point Is doing heroic job OF handling
normal traff1c-but it cannot possibly
accommodate any increase in flights at
peak hours. Nor can 1t provide adequate
landing and takeoff facilities for modern
Jet airliners.
The CAB study conducted at con-
gressional direction by the boards Blu
reau Of Air Operations, included an APP
praisal OF air services at Baltimores
Friendship Airport. 1t was found that
Baltimore is not getting the airline
services 1t ought TO have. That is not
surprising news, for it was the limited
use of Baltimore's terminal that
prompted Maryland's legislators to push
the campaign to designate Friendship
as WaShington's auxiliary airport. The
bureau made tentative" recommen-
dalton that If extra flights to Washing
ton should become necessary they be
diverted to Friendship.
This emergency solution of WASH
ingtonS airport problem would not,
however, constitute permanent cure
for the National Airports traff1c con-
gestion. The only permanent remedy is
a second airport close to Washington.

Evidence uncovered so far,
DR.. Shook says. demonstrates

between the expedition and
the Guatemalan government,
looking toward eventual de.
velopment of the site as a

Just been reported as a result
OF cooperation between the
research ship Atlantis Of the
Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institute and the Discovery II

The surface of the deep
current was found at about
$500 feet below the surface
OF the Atlantic. Here the
minimal southwark flow was
found. Below this velocity
increased with depth.
The southerly flow ranged
from one-tenth TO about one
third Of a knot at approxi-
mately s,400 feet. In con-
trast, the surface velocity of
the Gulf Stream at its in
shore edge is from four to
five knots.
An ocean-bottom photo
graph made by DR.. A. S.
Laughton of the Discovery
staff showed a southerly cur.
rent only 10 inches above the
bottom, as evidenced by the
direction Of a pingpong ball
hung by a string from a COM
pass. An area in the Gulf
Stream just east of Charles
ton, S. C.. was studied by the
two crews.

the reports, has changed

20 ships during the Interna-
tional Geophysical Year will
be OF much more significance

Secrets of Ancient GuotemoIon City

Guatemala's skyscraper city
which fiourished 1000 years
ago and may have repre-
sented the ultimate in Indian
civilization is beginning to
yield its secrets.
This city was Tikal, with
stone buildings 20 stories high
and covering six square miles.
Its ruins were known to some
of the earliest Spanish ex-
plorers. For the last three
centuries it has been drowned
in jungle and essentially I'M
approachable.
A University Of Pennsyl-
vania expedition led by DR..
Edwin M. Shook has just
completed its second season
among these ruins and, sew
eral times threatened with
failure. has succeeded in
mapping most of the area.
Monuments Unearthed
Two new monuments from
between 800 and 900 AID.
were unearthed earlier this
year. Each had been defaced,
broken in two. and later re-
mounted on fresh pedestals.
This discovery. says DR..
Shook. leads to speculation
that there was a revolution
in which cultural symbols
were wantonly damaged, aft
err which they were restored
by calmer heads. DR.. Shook
also tells of finding intricate
wood carvings in the temples
of the ancient Mayan city
at the foot of the Yucatan
peninsula. One showed the
figure Of a pot-bellied man.

rarely associated with this
society.

has been recognized for more
than g century. Full explo-
ration. however, was impos-
sible because of the sites
inacceSsibility and lack Of
water for human needs and
for use in excavating ma

problem was overcome when

built an airstrip in the jun
gle. Water remained, and

DR.. Shocks party began
drilling early this year on a
spot chosen after careful
scientific studies. Finally, a
depth of $50 feet was
reached-but still no water.
Meanwhile the party lived
on rain water caught in
basins some distance away.
A second drilling reached
500 feet with no signs of
water. Now. says DR.. Shook,
the whole future of the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania prof.
ect depends on two alterna-
tives. One is pumping water
from two fairly large lakes
eight miles away. This is
beyond the university's pres
ent resources. The second
choice is to refurbish the

Christmas And The Kitchen

One aspect of the Christmas season has
been insufficiently praised in print: that part
of it spent in the kitchen, usually by feminine
members of the family.
Of all secular symbols of the festival, food
is the most widespread, most varied, most
characteristic and usually the most appreci-
ated. Gathering of family for Christmas din
ner is only the climax Many of us remember
from childhood those fragrant hours of prep
aration: the turkey roasting; the herbs in the
filling; the making of cookies, pies and other
delicacies
1t seems unbelievable that blue laws once
forbade baking mince pies at Christmas in
New England. Happier the traditions of
most other lands, although the Armenian Gus
tom of feasting on spinach for Christmas may
not have widespread appeal elsewhere. Limit
ed, too, is enthusiasm for those one-time Eng
lish specia1ties: peacock pie, and the boar's
head about which a carol still is sung. A
more appreciated British inheritance is plum
pudding, with or without flaming brandy.

The Year Of Our Lord

It seems to have been the Roman monk
Dionysius Exiguus who, well over 1400 years
ago, first thought of arranging the whole of
historical chronology in relation to the most
important episode of human history. Eventu-
ally his system prevailed not only in Christen-
dom but also, for most secular purposes, in
pretty much the entire world. Thus what
Dionysius supposed to have been the year of
the Incarnation and Nativity of Christ has be-
come our universal point of reference for all
other dates
The Abbot Dionysus, though did not live to
zee the triumph of his great and lasting con-
tribution to the chronology of history. The
general habit in these matters is notoriously
difficult to change We may recall the failure
of the French Revolutionists to substitute the
date of the foundation of their Republic (Sep-
tember 21, 1922 for the accepted date of the
Nativity as the mean of universal reference.
Even the relatively painless transition in
mid-eighteenth century England from the Old
Style (Julian) to the New Style (Gregorian)
reckonings provoked protest and rioting from
some of those who fanced their lives were be-
irg arbitrarily shortened by IL days About
80 years ago the decision of the Greek Ortho-
dox Church to adopt the Gregorian dates for
Christmas and all other feasts, save those re-
lated to Easter, produced a large-scale schism
by those who thereafter called themselves the
Old Calendarists. Thus it is no great wonder
that 1t was not until some centuries after the
Abbot Dionysius had been laid to rest by his
brethren that the prelates and clerks of the
Papal cnancery began TO 1nScrlDe tnelr Qocu-
ments with the words Ammo Domini
Now, however, that the Dionysian chronol-
ogy has become so firmly established in ira
dition that no man of sence would dream of
changing 1t, there are, ironically, great mis-
givings about its accuracy Dionysius set the
date of the Incarnation-that is, of the angelic
visitation to Mary at Nazareth--as March 25
of the 754th year from the foundation of Rome
(Anno Urbis Conditae). Meanwhile. ecclesas-
tical authority. after what appears to have been
a long period of uncertainty had fixed the
Feast of the Nativity at December 20, perhaps
with some thought of providing a Christian
substitute for the Saturnalia, ancient pagan
sostice festival
Possibly then, 1t was Dionysius' intention
to bring the two dates into correspondence;
and IL may be that he was also influenced by
the symbol of the Vernal Equinox which had
been the beginning of the old pre-Julan Ro-
man year In any case it is now agreed that
whether Dionysius was right or wrong about the
season. his reckoning of the Christian Era was
in error by at least half dozen years. though
whether by too few too many is even now
matter of some dispute.
II is impossible. in other words, to recon
