Lady Mountbatten. wife Of
Britain's famed Admiral Of
the Fleet. yesterday exhibited
the same unfiagging energy
and spirit which endeared
her to thousands of hospital
lied Britons during World
War II.
The distaff side Of the
Mountbatten team really
made the most Of yesterday,
the final day Of their three
day visit.
Promptly at 10 am. she ar
rived at the Soldiers, Sailors,
Marines and Airmen's Club
for q brief half-hour inspec-
ton trip before going on to
Walter Reed Army Medical
Center.
Moving through the chill
dren's ward here she COM
miserated with the young pa
tients and even blew bubbles
for the delighted youngsters.
One Regret
Her only regret. she said
was that q change in de-
parture plans necessitated
cancellation of a tour Of the
Bethesda Naval Medical Gen.

But she hopes she can in
spect the Red Cross facilities
at Bethesda when her hus-
band returns here ain five or
six weeks" for what she de-
scribed as some routine
talks" in his capacity as
Britain's new Chief Of De-
tense Staff.
Lazy Mountbatten was
greeted upon her arrival at
the s. S. M. g. A. Club by
Mrs. Neil H. McElroy, wife
Of the Secretary Of Defense,
and Mrs. Arleigh Burke, wife

presiding officer that he reli1quishng the moor

DEPENDS UPON PEOPLE

World peace, we are told, cannot be bas-
ed upon the sovereign equality of nations but
must rest upon a worldwide legal order,
standing above nations, and possessing the
power TO create law and enforce it upon in
dividuals.
We think this would be an ideal setup,
provided the super-government would learn
what has not been appreciated in the United
States, that the rights of individuals must
not be snuffed out in an effort to produce a
uniform pattern of conduct.
At the present time, however, we see no
prospect that the nations, including the Uni
ted States are ready TO abrogate their sover-
eighty. The trend of popular opinion, it
seems, is the other way There is danger of a
nationalism, with the people of each country
judging every proposal by what they get out
of it.
We do not know when the ideal, super
state will arrive. Some day it will come into
being, but it will not be possible until the
majority of the people of the world grow
wisely tolerant of dissidents. The peace of
the world depends more upon the willingness
of people to live and let live than upon the
type of governments that exist.

MYTHS ABOUT THE MARKET

The stock market is not setting the pace
for the economy. 1t merely reflects what IS
occurring elsewhere
That important statement of fact-and
it is a fact that needs to be much better
known than is currently the case-was made
by Keith Funston, president of the New York
Stock Exchange, la talk dealing with
myths" about the market.
The stock markets activity, Mr.. Funston
went on, has indicated deep concern over
the prospect of continued imitation. In his
words: whether or not such fear is un-
reasonable, as some government experts and
economists would have us believe, is beside
the point. Such fear does exist and it will
take more than words to alleviate it.
Mr.. Funston also told some other truths
about the stock market of today. 1t reflects
a shortage of stock presently available TO
meet investor needs. To quote him again:
"Our antiquated and totally unreaIistic tax
laws, particularly the capital gains levy,
have caused investors to lock up billions of
dollars worth of stock, rather than pay the
whopping capital gains tax penalty leveled
against successful investments" On top of
that companies have been discouraged from
issuing more stock to finance their growth
and have relied on debt financing instead.
The villain here is the double tax on corpor-
ate dividends This tax works in such a way
that company raising venture money finds
it costs twice as much to return dollar to
share owners than would be required if the
company went into debt-Since interest on
the debt is tax-deductible.
Our obsolete and punitive tax system is
distorting the financing of enterprise-just
as it IS distorting all other economic activi-
ties.

Harvesting Gravity
Gravity, like electricity, will
some day be harnessed as a source
of cheap power. 1t is true that we
now do not know what gravity is
or where it comes from. Gravity
waves go through buildings just as
do radio waves, which we also
know little about. We do not know
where electricity comes from or
how it travels. With all the power
it posses, we cannot see electricity
or magnetism.
Gravity is the only known physi-
cal force that cannot yet be re-
tarded. We can insulate against
heat or cold; we can shut on light
by pulling a window shade or clos
ing blind; but retarding gravity
even 10 per cent has thus far been
impossible. OF course, no one wants
to eliminate it 100 per cent, as we
would rise to the moon without it,
whether we wanted to or not!
Anti.GraTity Studies
1t is, however, very important
that the down pull of gravity be
regulated or partially insulated.

Anastas l. Mikoyan, second-ranking in the

of them a problem of protocol and hospitality.

age. Moreover, the stores would be
able to regulate this gravity pull
by a thermostat, letting it be ma
turaP in the morning and decreas-
ing its pull toward the end OF the
day when everyone feels tired.
l believe that investors should be
interested in the studies of the
Gravity Research Foundation. The
total efficiency of every plant would
naturally speed up if the workers
did not s"get tired" during the lat
ter part of the day Time studies
will prove this. I further believe
that getting tired" is a basic cause
of many strikes which are SO
destructive both to good wiH and to
profits. Regulation of the gravity
pull would do much for industrial
peace. Fatigue is the great enemy
of man.
Increasing Sales
Let me conclude by referring to
my own experience. 1t is very hard
for any one to sell me anything,
even an idea when I am tired. If
this is true of me, it should be true
of 75,000,000 other adults in the
u. S. Think how sales of all kinds
would increase if, upon going into
store, we would feel refreshed
and anxious to buy. OF course, the
ability to regulate gravity pull by
a thermostat and thus prevent peo-
pie from getting tired has not yet
been achieved. Neither has a cure
for cancer and other scourages; !;

are on the way.

SMARTER THAN HUMANS

{ NEW YORK tR)-In the matter

mans.
Researchers for Neutrena Mills,
dog food manufacturer, say they
have found that just before reach
ing adulthood puppies suddenly be-
gin eating less.
A cocker spaniel, for example,
when almost full grown at "a
weeks, will drop in less than a
weeks time from IA ounces Ct food
each day to as little as 8 or 8
ounces. The reason for the adjust
ment, the specialists say, is that
the doy's system simply doesn't re-
quire as much nourishment once

SECURITY'S SECURE

An advisory councils report that the So
cial security system is financially sound
should be source of great general satisfac-
ton. The majority of Americans have a
double stake, as taxpayers and Is potential
benefciaries, in this program which has be-
come an established part of our national life
during the past Fl years.
The advisory council named by the sec
retary of health, education and welfare at
the direction of Congress, made compre-
hensive study of social security during the
past year. It's basic conclusion is that the
tax increase schedule passed by Congress in
1853 schedule which boosted payments
on January 1 and provides for additional
boosts. during the next decade-has firmly
undergirded the financial structure of the
system. The council even thinks that the
final increase scheduled for 1859 may not be
required.
This is good news, but it should not en-
tirely distract one from a note of caution in
the advisory councils report. The social
security system affects so many Americans,
the council noted, ''that the defeat of bene-
fieiaries' expectations through imitation
would greatly imperil the stability and pro-
ductivity of the economy"
Substantial initiation, obviously, would
cripple the effectiveness of the social secur-
ity system. This in turn, considering that
those beyond retirement age comprise an in
creasing segment of our population, could
play hob with the economy. This is one more
of the excellent reasons for holding infia-
tion down.

TWO BRANDS OF JUSTICE

Old lawyers and veteran court reporters

Women can shed that calculated tear, look
defenseless and fragile, and beautiful, and
sway jury beyond reasonable bounds-es-
pecially jury composed mostly of men or
solely of men-as many are.
In the fine state of North Carolina re-
Gently pretty thing hired a man to kill the
wife of a man she had fallen in love with.
This could happen in any state, and we are
not among those who think that one section
of the country is better than another, or more
virtuous, etc-as the left wingers constant
ly chant.
But in this case it happened in North
Carolina. Interestingly, the man hired by
the cute thing-who just couple of years
ago was a coed in college-was a private
detective. And killing wasn't exactly in his
line. So he turned his customer in-as he
should have done.
So the case comes to trial and what hap
pens? The pretty thing pleads guilty, adj
mits the above circumstances. And what is
her sentence? Ten years? Five years? One
year?
Her. sentence is nothing, actually, though
the Judge put one-year suspended sentence
on the books. But she serves no time, is
