How TO get ideas?

HOW 70 get lQeaSY
How to help one Think
These are problems Of al
people. but especially Of
writer's and their Fix.
And some Of them have
worked out very marvellous
plans Of attack.
One woman We know says
things come to her" when
she brushes her teeth.
This may have been. she
says. q sort Of reflex from Q
chance brushing when a good
idea actually did arrive while
she practiced this necessary
art.
Another intellectual worker
thinks that coffee has a very
stimulating effect on the
mind.
Actually. when coffee was
first introduced into Europe,
1t was called "the intellectual
drink" and people swore that
it helped the thought proc
esSes.
Many persons think so
still. It's the caffeine.
Mostly coffee is drunk
with others. and one of the
best of all ways to ideas is
talking with others.
Nothing so crystalizes
thought. many will think. as
a nice talk, even about unre-
lated matters.
In the course OF the talk.
there is no telling what
thought will pop into the
head. often as something
almost unrelated to the sub
ject in hand.
A famous author may be
quoted. to make q point. and
there may be Just one word
in the quotation which some
how strikes fire.

In this category there
comes the famous picking Of
the brain" attributed to some
columnist.
1t is. however. not q pick
ing in any derogatory sense,
but simply a quick realisa-
ton of something good.
So such a man or woman
pays a tribute to brains.
-
Long solitary walks are
said to enable some people
to think better.
Perhaps this Is because
there is nobody around TO
bother them.

Down to Earth at Last


the air for more than seven years-has
landed safely at last in nearby Virginia.
With competent and persuasive advice
from Lieutenant General Elwood Que
sada. President Eisenhower has ended
the long controversy over a site by desig-
mating Chantilly as the best available
location for the jet-age terminal. The
decision was based on technical and
other practical considerations, without
regard to political or other irrelevant
factors. Construction Of the new air
port can begin at once. therefore. with
confidence that the right choice has
been made.
In ordering the Civil Aeronautics
Administration to proceed forthwith"
with the long-stalled project. the Presi-
dent was taking Congress at its word.
Late in the past session. Congress voted
an appropriation Of $l2.5 million for
start on the airport at site to be picked
by General Quesada, special assistant
to the President on aviation matters.
An understanding was arrived at during
debate on the floor that whatever site
thus was chosen would be accepted as
final. While the Chantilly decision will
be displeasing to some legislators (espe-
cially the Maryland delegation, which
had opposed any site In virginia), Con-
gress cannot in good conscience inter-
pose any further obstacles In the way
Of airport construction.
The Marylanders, however, can de-
rive measure Of satisfaction from Gen.
erRl Quesada's recommendation that
Friendship International Airport, near
Baltimore, be used as Washington's Jet
airport until the Chantilly facility Is
available. This was logical suggestion,
IS the present National Airport Is not
equipped to handle large Jet airliners
on a regular basis. Eventually, Of course.
all commercial air operations will be
handled locally. as they should be.
II is evident from the Quesada re-
port that careful study was given to all
possible sites in the Washington area
for a new airport and that Burke was
given special consideration. This was
natural, since the CAA had picked Burke
as the best location and the Federal
Government had spent about 81 million
IN buying land there. But expert con-
sultants employed by General Quesada
weighed all the advantages and disad-
vantages of Burke and other potential
sites and came to the conclusion that
Chantilly had more in its favor with
respect to key requisites These vital
factors included unrestricted air space,
room for ground expansion, less dis
turbance to the community, good topog-
raphy and lower construction costs. The
report also said the location was reason
ably convenient to downtown Washing
ton (27 miles) and to the present air.
port (25 miles,. Close ties between the
old and new terminals will be essential
for the expeditions transfer Of passen-
gers and cargo.
1t Is clear that General Quesada and
his star have done q difiicult Job well.
They deserve the thanks Of a commu-
nifty too long deprived Of adequate air
port facilities by political shenanigans
and official indecision. All that is In the
past. The time to get on with the
airport project is here.

Life on Other Planets


There have been lucid and
exhaustive descriptions Of the
mineral. floral. animal and
human life on the several
planets of our system since
1858. These descriptions are
to be found in the many
works Of the great poet and
reyelator. Thomas Lake Har-
ris (lS23-l906). Now that the
worlds paramount interest
concerns the other planets.
the revelations Of this man
OF highest spiritual regenera-
ton and profound thought
are overdue for considera-
ton. Once the world under
stands that the other planets
are inhabited. also protected
from invasion. 1t is doubted
that the many visionary PLAN
ners will continue to project
schemes for planetary ex-
ploitation-either for military
or real estate purposes.
The following paragraph
from THE Arcana Of Chris
tianity" by T. L. Harris
Q85S) is cited as a deterrent
to such schemes:
"Our earth alone. unlike
the other planets Of the sys-
tenn, is cut of from the uni
versal mansion Of the skies.
There is around it that which
is like an enormous belt Of
stratified ether. This encom-
passes the planet. and. being
formed Of ultimates Of sub
stance, is in space. 1t extends.
as it seemed from the point
of vision, two-thirds Of the
distance to the lunar hemis-
phere. It has been established
for the purpose Of preventing
all egress, from the disorders
Of our planet. into the ultima
tive substance Of the heav-
ems. Beyond this all Is
inconceivable serenity. Peace
reigns without war: order
without slavery: liberty with
out license: love without
incontinence; chastity with
out coldness: religion without
fanaticism: decorum without
hypocrisy; genius without ir-
reverence. knowledge without
pride: labor without weari-
ness. and rest without in
ertia."
It appears to this analyst
and investigator Of the vault
of heaven. that nothing more
will be permitted by Provi-
dence than the remote pos
sibility Of photographing the
moon to reveal life on It's
hidden hemisphere. But We
have had word pictures OF
that life for q century.
Revelations come in advance
of mans need and willingness
to accept them. 1t would be
well to heed them. and keep
our defense planning down
to earth"
Lyra T. Livingstone.

Tended the execution of ex-
Premier Imre Macy as a deter

The speech was reported here
by the official Hungarian news

Mr.. Kiss said even those who
had been temporarily in
fiuenced by "demagogy OF un-
scrupulous adventures" had
demanded the punishment of
Macy.
The criminals had to ex-
plate their crimes" he went on.
He said the sentence had
been approved by the broad
masses Of workers.
Bulgaria has the reputation
of being the most pro-Soyiet

reorganization proposal con-
tanned In a bill approved by the
House earlier this month.
Groundwork for Merger
He declared that even with
the so : called safeguards
adopted by the House the pres
ent bill would:
/. Lay essential groundwork
for merger Of the military de-
partments and the services, not
by act OF Congress. but by the
signature Of the Secretary OF
Defense.
2. Transform the chairman
OF the Joint Chiefs OF Stan
without changing his title. in
TO a single chief OF stan over
all the armed forces and con-
vert the joint stan Of the
chiefs into an armed forces
general staff.
3. Do nothing to simplify
the top-heavy overcentraliza-
ton of the office of the Secre-
tary Of Defense. which is one
Of the real causes Of avoidable
delay and indecision in the
Pentagon.
4. Sets the stage for Maginot-
Linotype mistakes and a man
datory single point Of view in
formulation Of military policy
and doctrine.
Fears for Marine Corps
The general warned that UNI
less the Defense Secretary's
power to transfer. merge or
abolish major functions of the
armed forces is restricted, I'VE
may we'll wake I'D some morn
ing and discover that the Ma
rine Corps has been reorganized
and consolidated and reas-
signed into nonentity." He said
such an event would be pos
sible under the Presidents
plan and even under the more
restrictive House measure.
He told the Senator's that
they are hearing once again
1.-THE same demands = more
power. more Capitalization, less
specific accountability by the
military to Congress"-they
have been hearing since 1947,
He added that these demands
were being made with the
same old promiSe-'securi
with solvency.'"
In his prepared statement
Gen. Gates observed wryly that
he was perfectly free to speak
my mind" but was mot sure
whether official Witnesses shave
enjoyed similar latitude to ex-
press their free opinions and
recommendations detached from
the official viewpoint"
House Bill Backed
A second witness, Mai. Gen.
Otto L. Nelson. jr.. representing
the United States Chamber of
Commerce, testified in support
of the House bill urged that it
be amended in two major ways
by clarifying the authority of
the Secretary of Defense over
the three military departments
and by eliminating unneces-
sary restrictions" on the Sec
retary'S efforts to transfer,
merge or abolish combatant
function.

Alaska Drive
BY the Associated Press

Senator Kennedy. Democrat
Of Massachusetts,. today urged
statehood for Alaska as a
demonstration to the world
that the United States is able
gradually yet effectively to
liquidate its colonial relation
Ships
His endorsement OF the
HouSe-passed admission bill
came as the Senate moved in
to longer sessions in an effort
to speed debate, now in its
third day.
In a speech prepared for
Senate delivery, Senator Ken
nedy said Alaska has given
convincing demonstration of
its capacity to fulfill the re-
sponsibilities OF statehood.
It's case for statehood. he said,
can stand on its own merits. -
Final Vote Is Near
Asserting that statehood
would have a most useful in
f1uence in International af-
fairs" he said passage of the
bill would show the world
there are democratic ways
by which we can align our
territories to both the economic
realities and political aspira-
tiqns of their people"
as the debate moved into its
third full day, supporters OF
the bill talked hopefully of get
ting a final vote by tomorrow
Senator Jackson, Democrat
of Washington, the bills floor
manager, said he was shooting
at such a target date, but
added:
IF not then. then Saturday. !"
Today'S early start was
scheduled in hopes of bringing
one or more votes before night
fall on pending points of order
against the bills constitution
atty or on possible amend
mentS. ~
No Amendments Yet
Through yesterdays session
no amendments had been Of
'fered formally. Senator Jack
son said he had heard reports,
however, the Senate would be
asked to reduce the 103 million
acre land grant to Alaska. and
to substitute commonwealth
status with exemption from
Federal taxation in lieu of
statehood for Alaska.
Hopes of statehood strategists
to pass the House bill without
amendment received reassur-
ance on what had been feared
in some quarters was a require
ment that the bill be passed
by July 8 or amended.
The feeling resulted from a
provision of the bill requiring
the President to notify Alaska's
governor of its passage not later
than July 3.
THE reinsurance came in a
letter from Secretary of the
Interior Pred A. Seaton stat
ing his. understanding that
compliance with the section was
not essential. ~
