.Pa|isade Liquor
License Fought

A protest against a license
application for a new liquor
store on Macarthur boulevard
is being organized by the PAIL
SADIE Citizens Associations.
Association officials are cir
culating petitions against an
application by Aaron Basin to
open a liquor store at 1881 Mac
Arthur boulevard NV.
Harold Gray, leader of the
association. said the petitions
will be presented to the Alco-
holic Beverage Control Board
at a hearing scheduled for 10
am. Wednesday.
Ruling Challenged
The association last week
protested ABC approval of an
other liquor store just opened
at 5136 Macarthur boulevard.
The group is challenging a
change in legal Interpretation
by the board on which this Ii
cense was based and has asked
the District Commissioners to
intervene.
Federation May Act
Mr.. Basin, a former liquor
dealer, is seeking to transfer a
license now held by the Tower
Pharmacy at 140l K street NV,
to the Macarthur boulevard To-
cation.
A committee of the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations is
studying the palisade complaint
to the Commissioners and
may recommend some action
at a federation meeting to-
night. Mr.. Gray said.
Chairman Alan Payne of the
ABC board said last week end
that the boards granting of
the 5136 Macarthur boulevard
license was based on a decision
by himself and hoard member
Frank E. Weakley that a
stronger showing must be made
in opposition to liquor store IL
censes than the BOARD has re-
quired in the past.

The President also called for
a stepped-up educational pro-
gram of training scientists to
meet the Russian threat. He
suggested the program include
such incentives as fellowship
grants to provide more science
teachers. But he did not go
into detail.
Stresses Basic Research
Mr.. Eisenhower also called
for greater concentration on
basic research, saying 1.-The
warning lies in the fast rate of
increase of the Soviet effort ;
in that field of science.
Making the second of a series
of "chins up" talks designed to
bolster United States confidence
in free world defense capabil-
tiles, Mr.. Eisenhower said
RuSsia's challenge is being met
and will continue to be met.
He cautioned that the Soviet
Unions recent achievements in
development of weapons of the
future mean there is danger
ahead for free men every
where"
The President recalled that
Nazi dictator Hitler once
boosted he would bury the
free world.
Not enough people took him
at his word" Mr.. Eisenhower
said in likening the situation
then to the Russian threat
today.
I'VE shall not make that
mistake again." he declared.
NO immediate Threat

ual and specific defense costs
the President said.
There has been much dis.
cussion lately about whether
Soviet archaeological break

may have suddenly exposed Ii!

AS pointed out last week
this is not the case. But theS
accomplishments have provide,

Air Platforms
For Missiles

EA1b40, NOV. II VI I.--NA ~
aeronautical research director
said today the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization is study
ing plans to build aerial plat
forms for the launching Of nu-
clear missiles.
These, DR.. Theodore Won
Karman told a news conference,
would be in addition to the SUBJ
marine, nuclear platforms whose
production United States Sen
ator Jackson, Democrat of
Washington, urged yesterday.
Senator jackson told the
newsmen today the United
States is going ahead with de-
velopment of a nuclear- powered
intercontinehtal ballistic mis-
sile QCBM). He said it would
be a one-Stage rocket and more
efficient than chemically pro-
PEELED missiles after 1000 miles.
DR.. Won Karman, former
chief scientific adviser to the
United States Air Force and
now director of NATO's aero
nautical research and develop
ment program, said plans for
aerial launching platforms are
still only preliminary. He said
the underwater ones-using
atomic Submarines-are not
'envisaged before 1860.
: Would Use French Idea
DR.. Won Karman said Frances
Flying Star"-a weird hover
ing aircraft-could serve as a
prototype for the sky launchers.
The scientist, described by
Senator Jackson as the worlds
greatest aeronautical engineer,
said that missile-launching
subs would have the advantage
of being able to approach close
enough to targets to use rockets
propelled by solid fuel. These,
he said. are much simpler than
the elaborate three-stage long,
distance missiles.
DR.. John Wheeler, codiscov-
erer with DR.. Neils Bohr of
uranium 235. said the greatest
problem in the way of building
a nuclear-powered rocket was
finding a metal which could
withstand the tremendous tenn
peratures. StreSsing NATO CO.
operation, DR.. Wheeler said
France has agreed to sponsor
a conference next summer of
physicists from the United
States, Great Britain, Italy and
France to study this problem.
Senator Jackson said the
subcommittee on military APP
plication of the Joint Congress
sional Committee on Atomic
Energy has been pushing the
nuclear-powered rocket project,
know as Rover" Senator
Jackson is chairman of the
subcommittee. He is in Paris
for the current meeting of the
NATO Assembly, made up of
Congress and parliament men,
bers from the Is nations of the
North Atlantic Alliance.
Using Fuels of Future
DR.. Won Karman said he be-
lieved the Soviet successes with
intercontinental ballistic mis-
siles and artificial satellites
showed they have put the
fuels of the future into practical
use sooner than we did"
These are not miraculous
fuels he said, but ones which
are only in the development
stage in our countries"
He declined to speculate how
long it would be before the
West would have super-power-
full fuels capable of thrusting
half-ton satellites like Sputnik
II into space.
1T depends on the money
and effort we put in he de-
clared.
DR.. Won Karman said he be-
lieved the Soviets had solved
the problem of re-entry of a
rocket into the earth's at
mosphere without burning up.

ever happens to get into my way.
My close friends have learned
to stay away from me when they
notice the first symptoms. They
can tell it by the way l say hello

excuse for hanging up fast be-

both of us will be sorry for.
Il needn't tell you that these
short storms every month have
overbalanced how sunny and
nice I'm supposed to be most of

me so much as what it does TO
my husband and two children.
