Controlled Always

The Governments plan for jet-age
control OF the airwayS has moved closer
to realization with an agreement be-
tween civil and military aviation author
tiles for pooling of their radar resources.
The time is not far of, therefore, when
instrument flying will be the rule rather
than an emergency procedure on the
Nations most-traveled air lanes.
The coordination agreement be-
tween the Civil Aeronautics AdminiStra-
ton and the Air Force means that
long step has been taken toward elimi-
nation Of the hazards that come from
unco-ordinated use of the Always by
military and civilian airplanes. Several
midair collisions costing many lives
have been attributed to the lack of
single control system for all aircraft
using the Always. And the "See and be
seen" method Of avoiding collisions has
proved to be tragically unreliable.
The best hope Of reducing the num-
Der of accidents and near-accidents in
the air is radar system Of traffic
control, with all planes flying approved
courses at prescribed attitudes. Until
more radar installations are available,
however, adequate control Of the major
airways will be impracticable. But the
CAA is rapidly pushing construction of
new radar stations, with about 81 sched-
uled to be in operation by next summer.
When these are supplemented by mill
tary radar under the interagency agree
ment, big advance will have been made
in making air travel safer for all. Ger
tainly electronic policing of the airways
will be indispensable when the huge jet
airliners begin regular operations in the
near future.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

not q perfume man in any
sense.
Some male beings love per-
fumes.
One Of the most famous
Of the District Commissioners
liked a bit of perfume on his
handkerchief.
This was an old-fashioned
idea, beloved of the Gay '90s.
Love of perfume is not a
sissy thing at all. a

ing men like a touch of
scent!

tastes in such matters. He be-
lieves that straight perfumes

and that men should use
them as aids, as you might
say.
That is, perfume in soap
and after-snave lotion are all
right, but on the handker-
chief
Well, Jones purchased a
deodorant in a spray can
recently.
The perfume was a bit too
heady for him, but he in
stantly saw the value of this
article.
1t was in a slender can, not
much bigger around than a
pencil.
Jones knew just what he
was going to do with it.
A friend of all dogs, he had
met one recently that did
not like him.
Dogs are that way.
There is no telling what
dislike they will take, or why.
Jones had never done a
thing to this one, a black
dachshund, but somehow he
offended it.
Every time Jones came
along, the dog ran at him,
barring crocodile teeth as it
came.
Temp looked forward now
to meeting his canine
enemy.
One squirt of his new
weapon, he thought, and the
enemy was vanquished.
He hadn't reckoned with
the weather, however. Just
before coming into the dogs
block, Jones heard a pop!
"Pop!" went the container,
as the bottom blew out.
Today's bombs are made
with this safety feature.
Temp Jones decided then
and there to leave his bombs
home in the future, and let
dogs bark as they will.
After all, dogs will be dogs.

What He Can Do

Some Of the things which Governor
Almond said at his latest press confer
enee strike us as being of the utmost
significance. Clearly, we think, they
illuminate the coming course of events
in virginia's school indignation struggle.
The Governor said in substance that
he would never recognize the authority"
of the Federal courts to order integra-
ton. But, he added, it must be conceded
that the Federal judges have the
, "power" to impose indignation DEGREES,
and State authority, particularly that
represented by the pupil placement act,
cannot be effective against this Federal
power.
Virginia, he said, is not going to
secede from the Union. This being so,
he declared, I'VE can be overcome and
submerged by Federal power although
we don't have to accept it. But what
can you do in the face Of overwhelming
power? You certainly don't accept it,
but you might have to take it between
the eyes,"
In these comments, we believe, Gov
ernor Almond is wisely trying to prepare
the people of Virginia for the inevitable.
He is saying, in effect, that the Federal
courts can and will enforce some inte-
grafton. When that happens, the affect
ed schools, under State law, will be
closed. But Governor Almond knows,
as practical matter, that he cannot
close the high schools of Arlington and
the high schools of Norfolk for any
sppreciable length of time. l;Eie will have
to turn them back to the local author
tiles, who will open the schools on an
integrated basis. All that will be left
then is the unsatisfactory, punitive
remedy of cutting off State funds. In
short, the Governor can penalize the
people of Arlington, Norfolk and Char
lottesville for doing what the power of
the Federal courts requires them to do,
but he cannot prevent indignation.
We do not believe for moment that
such a situation will be permitted to
continue very long. And the Governor
as much as said so. AS we read the rest
of his remarks, he was saying that as
soon as the futility of the existing State
laws has been demonstrated by the
course of events, he will call the Legis-
lature into special session and advise
them that the old laws must be strapped
and something new, probably local
assignment plan, substituted. For poll
tical reasons, the Governor has to main
tain certain front, certain show Of
determination. But he is too good a

of public sentiment in the threatened

Bon Voyuqe!

The Show Boat is about to
cast of and wend her way
down river. It has been a
wonderful season at the
Watergate.
The August moon over the
Potomac-the rushing dotted
line of red lights streaming
across Memorial Bridge
the canoes slipping around
the point just in time for
the opening number-the
cruisers lying of the sea-
wall and the more modest
outboards nesting in the lee.
And just when the music
was at its best, the two
eyed monsters of the night,
roaring their way in, totally
oblivious to the artistic as
semblage below.
The citizens and visitors
to Washington, I feel sure,
owe a great debt of gratitude
to the various guest shippers
Of the Show Boat and their
talented crews. Certainly no
audience ever received so
much for so little. The Park
Police, the Recreation De-
partment and all who made
the concerts such a success
should be congratulated, as
well as the Federation of Mu-
Sicians.
Let us hope that old Show
Boat viii turn her course up
river again next June ere
the moon is full.

@. On how many one-dol-

A. Through June 80, 1858,
the motto had been i'm
printed on 417,920,000 one
dollar bills. The motto does
not yet appear on all newly
printed dollar bills, as more
bills are needed for circula-
ton than can be printed by
the presses thus far equipped
to imprint the motto.
@. What are the Akashic
Records?-L. Y.
A. Occultists believe that a
celestial ether, called Akasha,
fills all space, and that in
this medium there exists a
permanent record of every
thought, speech and action
which takes place in the ma
terial world. Some day. oc-
cultiSts believe, science may
be able to tap these records
and thus draw upon or even
reenact the words and actions
Of past ages.

No Time to Relax

A warning against overconfide
has been issued by atomic warfare ex-
perts concerned with Soviet progress in
building missile submarines. If
there has been tendency to regard the
recent Subpolar achievements of Ameri-
can nuclear-powered submarines as evil
dence of our superiority in undersea
warfare, the report of a special advisory
panel to the Joint Atomic Energy Com
mittee should have SOLDERING effect. For
it is plain from the findings of this panel
that we are faced with Russian threat
of an atomic attack from the sea that
we are not yet capable of meeting.
Although the Russians may not have
a nuclear-powered submarine at present,
they do have many undetermined sub
mersibleS capable of delivering a catas-
trophic sneak attack on our cities and
bases. The report points out that
whereas we have built only IS subma-
rines since World War II-three of them,
however, with atomic power plants-the
Soviet navy today has the greatest sub
marine fleet ever assembled by one
power. BY building about 800 Subma-
rineS since 1915, the Russians have
brought their submarine fleet strength
to around ATS craft. The report added
that the Russians have the capability of
building many more" nuclear subma-
rineS than we now plan to build-and, by
1860, could be in position to launch
ga devastating nuclear warhead attack
from the sea-"
Despite this outlook, the panel of
experts said, we have been tagging be-
hind Russia in research and develop
ment of underSea warfare especially
for detection and defense against attacks
from under the ocean. 1t was recon-
mended that the Nays budget for such
research and development be doubled in
fiscal 1859, that basic research in
oceanography be given special attention,
that the Nations universities and other
private research centers be enlisted In
the expanded study program and that

the rate and scale Of our program for
construction Of missile-armed attack
submarines be materially increased.
All of this Would require larger
allotment OF defense funds to submarine
warfare than in the past. Congress, of
course, has the Anal say on such appro-
priations, but the legislators should give
earnest consideration to the report of
the atomic experts to the congressional
Joint Atomic Energy Committee when
the next defense budget is being
considered.
