has the most advantages. If were
able to choose which of our states
l would prefer to have been born
and brought up in, I would be un-
able to make a selection. The South
has a warmer climate, which I GER
tainly enjoy in winter; New Eng
land is the place / like in summer,
although we have hot days here;
while the Central States, the West,
and even the Pacific Coast have
their disadvantages.
Even the differences in rainfall
among the various states create
advantages and disadvantages, The
normal rainfall for most of the
states is 40 inches or more a year,
while for New Mexico and Arizona
the normal annual rainfall is only
about 6 inches. This is a great
handicap for agriculture, which
can now be carried on only by ex-
pensive irrigation. I, however, was
told something in this connection
which I desire to pass on to read
ers this week. That is that the
states subject to the lowest annual
rainfall are those which would be
freest from fallout danger.
The same mountains which sur
round New Mexico and Arizona
and prevent the rain from falling
in those states will also, am told,
prevent the fallout from settling
in any serious amount. Thousands
now afflicted with arthritis, bursi-
tbs, and similar rheumatic diff
culties are flocking to these states
for the dryness of the atmosphere.
If the above theory about fallout is
true, the population of New Next

I'm THE AIR FORCE"

Hayes is busy these days work

Readers must remember that
public officials, sometimes caught
in many cross-currents of varying
pressures, must deny having made
statements. Often, too, they rem

STRIKE BUILDING UP
Statements from steel industry
spokesman and steel union Off
Gals make it clear that we are
building up to another steel strike.
The whole business world, prac-
tically, has been expecting just
that, and stockpiling has gone on
steadily in recent months.
In fact, the buying up of steel
has been one reason for the in
crease in business activity in the
first half of 1859. There are some
who say that a slight dip in the
economic upturn will be expert
enced after the July 1st industry
union contract in the steel indus
try expires-regardless of whether
there is a strike or not.
The disturbing thing at present
is the imminence of a steel strike
unless something changes, and
time is getting short. President
Eisenhower has spoken out on al
least two occasions, in an effort to
hold the line on imitation, and he
has warned both the steel industry
and union members and officials
that the u. S. cannot now stand an
other round of imitation, set off by
sizable steel price hikes.
Yet the industry has always tax
en- the position that labor union de-
mands be met with higher prices
and the union, in this case, is not
going to settle for nothing. The
question is, then, whether new in.
fiationary pressures can be avoid
ed. The steel industry might hole
any price hike to very small, Oh
relatively insignificant increase
somewhere and somehow along the
line.
The union can do its part by sett

mum wage increases. 1t remains tt

ment or union will set an example

to New Mexico and Arizona to
study the possibilities of investing
in large acreage, but something
was called to my attention of which
l will write this week.
What Is FallOut?
There are always certain amounts
of Strontium-90 in the atmosphere,
but usually not to any dangerous
extent Every nuclear test, how
ever, produces more Strontium-90.
Hence, there is strong movement
to suspend further nuclear~ tests.
Even Russia pretends interest in
doing so. The reason for this is
that the contamination of the at
mosphere by these tests is cum
ulative; that is, it does not pass
away for long period of years.
Thus, Strontium-90 keeps on build
ing up to dangerous amount.
Just now there are differences of
opinion between the Atomic En-
ergy Commission and the u S. Pub
lie Health Service as to the danger
of this fallout. All parties agree
that it can become very dangerous,
but they disagree as to the amounts.
The medical profession believes
that sufficient amounts may cause
cancer of the bones, leukemia, and
certain other incurable diseases, as
well as sex changes. 1t may be alb

consider the common cause, which
all Americans must now support

enterprise systems, Washington
may have to put its hand into the
pie.
CORRECTING AN Fec BLUNDER
Some months ago the Federal
Communications Commission came
up with the astounding decision
that if radio or television station
brOadcasts a news story concern
ing any candidate for Office, that
station must grant equal time to all
other candidates for the same office.
This was one of those bureau
cratic blunders which occur when
government agencies attempt to
regulate complicated industries.
They are inevitable in democracy,
perhaps, but this does not mean
that they should not be speedily
corrected.
The real fault of the present sit
uation lies in Section 315 of the
Communications Act, dealing with
equal time for all political candi-
dates. Several bills have been in
trOduced in Congress to amend this
section so that the Federal Com
munications Commission cannot, in
the future, make this same mis-
take.
Regardless of what the FEC does
in the way of reversing its earlier
blunder, Congress should amend
Section 315 to take care of the stu
alfonso that radio and television
stations will not be hamstrung in
attempting to report the news in
the future. Senator Spessard Hol-
land, Florida Democrat, and Sen
ator Vance Hartke, Indiana Demo
crat, and others have introduced
bills which would correct the stu
alton. Hearings on this question
were scheduled for June 18th, by
the Senate Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Committee, some weeks
ago.
These hearings should result in
favorable report for the Holland
or Hartke bill, or a similar one
whereby Congress amends the pres
ent section of the Communications
Act which allows federal bureau to
| interfere with the free presentation
of news TO the public. Obviously
stations cannot always gives equal
time to all candidates in their eff
forts to report the news, especially
in cases when a public official is
running for reelection, and con-
tinues to carry out the normal pub
lie duties.
Milford chronicle. [volume] (Milford, Del.) 1878-1974, 1959-06-26

with very little rainfall should
rapidly multiply.
No Defense Against FallOut
For cities in the East, South and
Central West, there is no known
defense against fallout. The Civil
Defense Authority is experimenting
with evacuation of cities and the
use of Easements and other protec-
tons from the immediate crash of
the bomb when it falls. An atom
bomb would Immediately slaughter
people within 5 miles of the point
of the explosion. The fallOut, how
ever, might not occur for some
days after the bomb exploded. Fur
thermore, the direction of the
wind is an important factor in the
damage caused by fa1lout. OF
course, if bomb should be drop
ped" in New Mexico or Arizona,
the fallout would be as dangerous
there as anywhere else, but prob
ably this would not occur.
| Let me close with one interest
| ing fact: That the oldest continu-
ing occupied city in the United
States, namely Oraibi - which
dates from more than 1000 years
ago = is in Arizona; the cliff
jewellers of Walnut Canyon lived
near here 1900 years ago while the
more progressive Navajo Indians
were centered in and about Nor
thern Arizona 1t seems strange,
although entirely possible, that the
great cycle of population for the
United States may come back to
Arizona where it started over 1000
years ago., In case of World War
III, there could be gold rush" to
Arizona equaling that of 1849 to
California.

.IuNE DAYS

The week beginning June 21st contains
many historic and eventful days. This year
summer begins on the 21st, and that is also
Fathers Day.
Summer will continue for three months,
until September 23rd, when autumn will be-
gin and summer will officially end.
The 21st is also remembered as the day,
back in 1888, when New Hampshire, the
ninth state to ratify the Constitution of the
United States, did so and officially establish
ed the Constitution as valid.
On the 22nd, in 1908, Grover Cleveland
died, and on that day in 1874 DIR. Andrew
Taylor Still, a Kansas physician, decided that
the cause of disease could sometimes be found
Sin the limited or excited action of the nerves
which control the fluids of part or the whole
of the body" That was the beginning of OS
teopathy.
June 23rd is the birthday of William
Penn, and is supposed to be the anniversary
of his treaty with the Indians, which is as
sumed to have taken place in 1893. Cabot
discovered North America on June 24th,
1897 and it is also the date of the anniver-
sary of the Feast of st. John the Baptist. On
the 25th of June, in 1876, General George A.
Custer was massacred at Little Big Horn,
and his force of 208 men were wiped out. On
June 26th, and some readers will remember
this, the first U. S. troops landed in France,
in 1917.
And anOther memorable June DAY 1allS
on the 9th, when the British Navy attacked
Charleston in It's. This day is also the
birthday anniversary of Helen. Keller, prob
ably the most notable blind deaf-mute in the
history of education. She was born normal
child at Tuscumbia, Alabama, and on her
fathers side she was connected with the Lees
of Virginia, and on her mothers side with
the Adamses and Everetts of Massachusetts.
When she was nineteen months old she
had scarlet fever which left her without the
sense of sight or hearing, and consequently
made her unable to learn to talk. She, of
course, went on to become brilliant student,
lecturer, and was an inspiration to all those
who found themselves handicapped as she

THE DROWNING SEASON

The approach of swimming weather
brings to mind the fact that each year some
thousands of persons drown because sensible
precautions were not followed by the victims.
The following rules are good ones to OBJ
serve:
L. Do not go swimming too early.
e. Use supervised pools.
g. Stay ashore in heavy weather.
A. Keep children out of boats not equip
ped with life-preServers, or without swim
mers aboard
5. Teach children to swim early.
To this we would add
1. Wait an hour after eating, before
swimming.
2. Use excessive caution when fishing
from a boat after dark, especially if in
strange waters.
8. Always carry extra life-preservers in
boats.
A. If you are deathly afraid of water,
stay away from it.
One other word of caution is the sugges-
ton that you try one of several floating tech
niques when next in the water. Many people
can float indefinitely without any effort if
they will hold their head back so that only
the nose is above water. The feet may ex-
tend downward vertically from the surface,
but if the individual will be careful to keep
his head far back, he will find that he can
float for hours in this position without phys
ical effect. If you try it, or some other float
ing technique, it may save your life this sum-

AID GRANTS


The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee has demanded that the
Administration gradually terminate
its aid grant program. The COM
mittee believes that foreign aid
should take the form of loans, and
not grants.
Even if the committee has its
way, the end of the foreign aid
grant program will be long time
in coming. The grant program
amounts to more than $1,000, 900, 900
per year. In the foreign aid bill
which recently passed the Senate,
the amount of outright grants to-
tailed some SLOTS, 100000. Of this
amount, some $685., 100000 of the
grants were for military aid.
The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee finally decided not to
fix a time limit on it's demand that
foreign aid grants be ended. Never
theless, the committee adopted an
amendment asking President Eisen-
hover to submit a specific plan
next year by which grant assistance
shall be progressively reduced and
eliminated"
Senator Mike Mansfield, Montana
Democrat, has suggested that all
grants in aid be ended by June 80,
1868. This is a reasonable sugges-
ton, and we hope that President
Eisenhower will go along with it
and submit a plan which accom-
plishes this, one way or the other
at least by 1868.
STEYENSON'S DENIAL
Adlai E. Stevenson. who caused
something of a sensation by rat
ing" the candidates for the Demo
cratic presidential nomination in
1860, has now denied that he has
appraised the four men involved.
Those involved include Senator
Lyndon B. Johnson, of Texas, Sen
ator Hubert H. Humphrey. of Min
nesota, Senator John F. Kennedy
of Massachusetts,, and Senator Stu
art Symington, of Missouri-all
Democrats.
The original story was carried
in the New York Herald Tribune
and even used quotation marks in
referring to Stevenson's appraisal
of the candidates. Therefore, most
newspapers editors will not quite
swallow, in the whole at least
Stevenson's denial.
Naturally, the original story caus-
ed some CONSERVATION and rever-
herations. for Stevenson said thai

didate, that Humphrey was the next
