Templeton Jones wants to
know why q man shuffles
when he can walk"
The answer, my friend. is
that he is q born shuffler.
Some men shuffie, some
really walk. some run when
bear gets after them.
1t all depends upon the cir
cumstances.
Walking comes easy to most
people. If they keep their feet
in good trim.
Even today. when people
ride more than they walk, hun
dreds put one foot before the
other rhythmically and call 1t
walking.
Walking is, in part, q fall
ing; whereas going down stairs
is a complete falling job. That
is why it is so easy.
Walking down steps is easy
because it is mostly falling.
Walking up
There you have something /!
But any person in good health
can walk upstairs, despite his
age. if he gives himself enough
time.
Some day, somebody is going
to write q Time Book" in
which it will be suggested that
almost everybody would help
himself by giving himself more
time.
More time to think, more
time to walk. more time TO
arrive at the office
These and a thousand other
activities can be done less ef-
fortlessly with the addition Of
a stable chunk Of time.

It Is little suspected that
failure to consult time is one
of the chief reasons for the
prevailing high rate Of heart
disease.
People hurry too much.
They do it. in little. so that
they do not realize it.
They grab the telephone at
the first ring.
Now. here is q good place to
begin to consider time.
Let it ring.
There Is nothing said about
seizing the thing the very min
ute it. rings.
Let 1t ring.
Ring out, old bell. Who
cares?
The tyranny Of bells was
something Edgar Allan Poe told
us about but nobody paid any
attention.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Rv THOMAS p HENRY
An Intense Study of the Sun S Face

Throughout the forthcom-
ing international Geophysical
Year. during which SO nations
will cooperate in observations.
the face of the sun will be
under constant observation
somewhere in the world "a
hours a day.
The observers will be on the
watch for IS phenomena which
are believed to have profound
effects on conditions on earth,
according to DR.. Alan H.
Shapley, vice chairman Of the
United States I. @. Y. Com
mittee.
Among the most significant
of these will be:
Solar plages-regions in the
suns chromosphere which are
abnormally bright in wave
lengths Of hydrogen, calcium
and some other elements.
These are more basic indica-
tors of solar activity than
the well-known sunspots-dark
areas on the solar surface
which occur in 11-year cycles
and usually are practicable.
Sunspots always are attended
by PLACES but PLACES themselves
often are seen without sun
spots. A PLACE may persist for
many solar rotations, usually
is visible before an accom-
panying sunspot group appears,
and remains after the spots
have disappeared.
Phenomena Noted
In PLACE areas occur the
most interesting of short-term
solar phenomena, the sudden
brighteningS called flares
which cannot be predicted
with any precision and which
are of exceptional Importance
for special ICY observations.
A flare is primarily an intense
emission Of light in the char
acteristic spectral lines Of the
solar gases. 1t also may involve
election Of material from the
sun, with far-reaching effects
on terrestrial phenomena. 1t
rises to maximum brightness
IN a few moments but in ex-
IRENE cases may require sew
eral hours completely to SUBJ
side. Some Of the phenomena
are:
Surges-streams Of material
elected high into the solar
corona and even into space at
speeds Of the order Of soc
kilometers q second. Material

BRIDGE SquobbIe

Some hundreds of years ago.
Washington was a relatively
small city untroubled by such
mundane things as automotive
traffic and a necessity to cross
the river. The situation has
changed and we are now living
in the year 1857, with a goodly
portion Of the Metropolitan
Area sprawling across the
Virginia countryside. London,
Paris and Rome had similar
problems which they seem to
have solved without sacrificing
civic beauty, but not so Wash
ington.
For too many years we have
heard countless arguments as
to the merits and dement's of
various methods of getting
from one bank to the other;
bridges with or without draw
spans. tunnels with or without
bottleneckS-or, no change
from the eighteenth century.
Nature lovers, bird watchers,
esthetes, special interests, COM
missions, committees and a few
small-bore individuals have all
had their say, but little has
been accomplished. We have
surveyed routes and named
imaginary bridges. We have
heard about sand. gravel and
oil. and one individual has told
us that tunnels are cheaper to
build than bridges. While argu-
ments continue ad infinitum
ad nauseam. the ultimate cost
OF river crossings continues to
rise.
/ submit that 1t is about time
the interests Of the inhabitants
Of this communicated the
taxpayers-receive some con-
sideration. II London, Paris
and Rome can grow up. so can
Washington-give or take a
few hundred years.

Against 'Giveowoys'

With excellent timing, Eu-
gene r. Black. president Of
the International Bank for
Reconstruction and Develop
ment. announces that foreign
aid programs should be based
on loans-not grants. Several
days before. Secretary Dulles,
having noted the public Juror
over foreign aid, suggested to
the Senate's special commit
tee economic help for other
nations ION a loan basis"
stressing that the "loans" will
be "long-term development
assistance" thus releasing the
globureaucrats from the con-
troll that Congress now exer-
cises by voting each foreign
aid appropriation for one year
only.
Surely. these gentlemen have
not forgotten our sorry expo
rience with foreign loans.
Among other welshers. in
1888 Britain permanently dis
continued token payments on
World War ! loans, which now
stand at over $40 billion. Re-
Gently she begged of a pay
ment on World War II loans,
and We will be lucky to collect
nifty cents on the dollar.
Bravely we defy the adage, "A
burnt child breads the FIRE"
We will again be Uncle Shy
lock II anyone dares suggest
that the "loans" now proposed
ought to be repaid. since, as
Mr.. Eisenhower delights in
telling US. They are essential
TO the security Of every Amer
ican."
Such loan" transactions are
only a subterfuge. They will
be the same old giveaways,
disguised to appease public
and congressional opinion.

rule: II you can't break in the

WiIIiomson's Position

Your account in The Star
of May 2 of my proposed
amendment to a policy state
ment Of the United States
Chamber Of Commerce re-
garding migration of the
armed services is incorrect. 1
hope you will print this cor
rection.
The policy statement under
consideration by the chamber
called for greater unification
Of the armed services in view
Of the increased costs result
ing from overlapping and
duplication of functions. /
asked for a Qualification
whether or not the chambers
policy statement could be con-
Strued as an Endorsement of a
supreme general staff over all
the armed services. l then
proposed an amendment which
would limit the chambers
policy on greater unification
to the business and manage
ment functions Of the De-
partment Of Defense, where
upon the chairman of the
National Security Committee
Of the chamber advised that it
was not the intention of the
committee to propose such
unification of the services as
would result in the creation of
a supreme general staff. After
receiving such assurances, I
then withdrew my motion and
the policy statement was
adopted.
My purpose In bringing up
the question was to make sure
that the chambers position
could not be construed as in
dorsing the creation Of a
Prussian type general staff. I
reminded the chamber that
. the Hoover Commission had
rejected the supreme general
staff system.
Your account of the pro-
ceedings implies that my pro-
posed amendment later rati-
fed. supports maximum inte-
grafton Of the armed services. I"

Union Funds

1t is most embarrassing to
read about the futile efforts of
an investigating committee Of
Congress to bring witnesses
before it. These much-sought
persons are doubtless laughing
so hard they wouldn't be able
to testify even though they
were present. And If they were
present, and the testimony in
dicated that union pension and
welfare funds had been MIXED
for the personal benefit of
some person or persons, who
cares? The rank and file of
the unions are interested only
in an occasional increase in
pay. They are not worried
about the spending of their
funds by their leaders.
They know their leaders will
take care Of them in time Of
need. The service of a process
on a man who wishes to evade
such service is no job for an
amateur. And now that we
have been scorned, ridiculed
and shamed. why not forget
about the elusive Opponents
and scrutinize some other as
pect of our economy?
But not the matter of a bride
paid to some union official in
order to complete a job that
was required to be done. Is it
any more evil to give a "bribe"
to an individual or two in Or
der to complete a task than
to "bribe" an entire union in
the form of wages unearned?
The latter is done every day.
A man in business knows that
when a union makes a de-
mand upon him for higher pay
or fringe benefits he'd better
arrange to meet the demand
or retire from business. II he
meets the demand and there
is no resultant increase in pro-
ductivity. the ultimate consum-
er will be charged higher prices
for the goods or services. Any
eight-year-old child should be
able to understand that pro-
cedure. But that is what the
copybook calls imitation.
In case the committee has
vowed to probe the depths of
a rightful and important sub
ject. they might sharpen their
teeth on that angle Of today's
prosperity. They should be
able to obtain thousands of
witnesses for such an exami-
nation. And the final result
might accomplish some good
in the world.

Shapley explains. are magnetic
storms which appear to be
triggered by usual solar &C
tivity. Both types of storms
are most intense in the auro.
raj zones and both encircle the
earth, whereas a disturbance
induced by radiation is neces-
sarily confined to the sunlit
hemisphere. These peculiari-
ties indicate that the geomag-
netic storms, and accompany
ing auroral activity, are caused
by streams Of charged parti-
cles shot out from the sun at
speeds Of a few thousand kilo-
meters a second.

phenomena the Bureau Of

chief primary stations in the

Courts Right to Force
Arbitration Is Upheld

An important labor law issue
decided by the court in three
kindred cases was whether Fed
eral courts have authority under
the Taft Hartley Act or the Fed

employers to comply with griev-
ance arbitration provisions in
collective bargaining agreements
with unions.
Opinions written by Justice
Douglas declared that the courts
do have such power. Justice

that the majority avoided the
