All Rise. Please

American podiatrists, sitting in con-
vention here, have decided that their
fellow citizens are getting dangerously
soft in the feet. They blame it on too
much Sitting-in automobiles, at TV sets
ct cetera-and they prove it by statistics
on their own practice in taking care of
feet, with pictures in evidence. They
fear that in future years there will be
an increasing number of cases of weak
extremity musculature," unless children
exercise more without shoes and adults
exercise more away from the dining
table.
Over all, the podiatrists seem to be
making a good case. The American
habit of resting on the lower extremity
of the trunk" has become widespread
and leads, in addition to foot trouble, to
becoming wider spread. Only in crowded
buses do some of our best friends stand
up all day. Still, If the podiatrists'
prescription improved the condition of
the rational feet, where would the
podik lists stand on making ajlwing3

Warming Up the Jets

Inc JET age IN commercial aviation
has moved lot closer toward its virtu-
ally unlimited horizons in recent weeks
For the first time, American-built jet
powered aircraft are ready to challenge
the earlier entries turned out by British,
French and Russian manufacturers.
First of the American pure jets to
hit the revenue-producing runway is the
big, four-engine Boeing TOT now carry
ing cargo between Puerto Rico and New
York while its Pan American crews
become acquainted with its fight char
acteriSticS. The Port of New York
Authority last week gave Pan American
a 3O-day permit to operate the TOT out
Of Idlewild under maximum load condi-
tionS, and London-New York fight test
ing already is under way Meanwhile,
the Douglas DC-8, another pure Jet
widely ordered by U. S. and foreign flag
lines for long distance service, also is
going through flight testing for first
deliveries next year.
Among the American-built turbo-
prop aircraft, also jet-powered, the first
to be certificated by the Civil Aeronau-
VASc oVAOll WoS JIlG bWlLl-eIlRlIle

by Fairchild in nearby Hagerstown. CAA
approval of this ship on July 80 was
followed about three weeks later by
certification of the four-engine Lock-
heed Electra which Eastern Airlines
expects to put into service by December
/. American Airlines plans to have both
Boeing TOTS and Lockheed ElectraS in
service shortly after the first of the year,
and virtually every other major United
States carrier, domestic or overseas, has
jets on order.
For the travelling public, advent Of
the Jets means faster and more COM

To the Editor Of The Star:


Your September 4 editorial
on Our Military Strength"
strives admirably to take q
middle ground between two
competing views. But a mid
die ground is not always a
safe position. Sometimes
one extreme" is much near
er to the truth than the
other. And sometimes even
this more nearly correct lex
IRENE" does not go far
enough, but instead repre-
sents the tendency to gravi-
tate toward the innocuous
middle.
You state that at seems
obvious that we need not and
probably cannot match the
Russians soldier for soldier.
plane for plane, missile for
missile" Soldier for soldier
under our free system, this
may well be true. But if we do
not match the Russians SOL
der for soldier, or plane for
plane, or missile for missile.
or submarine for submarine.
then we must soon fall la
mentally behind in total
strength. For many years we
were led to believe that we
could more than compensate
for our numerical inferiority
Of men under arms by match
less superiority in equipment
and weapons. This was fair
ly expected to result from
our superior industrial pow
er, technology. practical SCI
ence, individual productivity.
and indeed our free institu-
tons.
But we have not drawn
upon our potentialS to &C
complish this result. Not long
ago we were told that we
needed to accept inferiority

to small and localized con-
flicts, in order to be able to
afford" superiority in the
weapons most relevant to
fighting-or preferably de-
