Hazards of the Jet Aqe

The age OF jet power for airplaneS
has brought with it added hazards for
airport workers. The blast from an after
burner or the suction from the front
intake can inflict serious or fatal in
juries on the unwary mechanic or other
attendant. The problem will attain local
Importance with the opening of the new
jet-era airport at Chantilly.
Safety precautions for the protection
of $4,000 of its members employed at air
ports have recently been stressed by the
International Association of Machinists
in its publication, The Machinist. Illus

lam members were warned to stay
at least 200 feet away from Jet exhaust
stream. At Is feet, 1t was stated, such
an exhaust belches flames with tenn
peratures of up to 370 degrees Fahren-
heit. A special warning also was issued
against venturing too close to the air
intake OF a jet engine. The bulletin re-
called that number of men have been
killed by being sucked into air intakes.
Those who work close to jets were ad-
vised, Furthermore, to wear ear plugs
as preventive against loss Of hearing
from constant exposure to the roar of
the engines. Another hazard is electric
shock from the 22O-volt current used in
high-poWered Jet planes.
Conventional propeller type air.
planes have their dangers for airport
workers, too but mechanics have be-
come well acquainted with the perils
and generally have learned to avoid
them. The jet engines with their haz-
ards are so new, however, that workmen
must be trained to know and avoid the
new risks. And the safety problem is
certain to become more serious as jet
power continues to replace propellers on
the aircraft of the future.

Voice of Hope

On reading the article
Reds Busy In Middle East
Again" by Constantine
Brown, one can come to a
conclusion that it is time to
reeStablish the AZerbaijani
broadcastS in the Voice of
America, since the Kremlin
has renewed its detestable
propaganda drive in the Mid
die East.
1t is a grave mistake that
the Azerbaijani people are
deprived of listening to the
Voice Of Hope" while they are
actually subjected to spread
ing Red propaganda among
their brothers and coreligion-
lists in the Free World. Why
is it that broadcasts in the
Azerbaijani language to 7
million Azerbaijanis are con-
sidered less important than
to the other depressed ma
tions behind the Iron Cur
tain?
Among the many other ma
tions who have fallen under
the Kremlin domination are
the people of Azerbaijan.
They have a proud heritage
dating back centuries. They
enjoyed self-government un-
der a democratic system from
May %, 1918 to April 27,
1920 when the Red hordes
of Moscow overran the Re
public Of Azerbaijan. Their
spirit of freedom and in
dependence has ecom e
stronger these past 40 years,
in spite of Kremlin efforts to
crush it. Being aware that
the spirit of freedom and
liberty is still strong in the
Caucasus, the Voice of Amer
lea instituted broadcaSts in
the Azerbaijani, Georgian
and Armenian languages in
June, 1851. Unfortunately
in September 1858, the Azer-
baijani branch was separated
from the other Caucasian
sections and liquated to-
gether with other Turkic
CUzbek and Tatar branches
in the Voice. in spite of the
fact that the historical, po-
litical, geographical and
cultural ties for many CEN
turies united all these three
Caucasian nations.
The Azerbaijanis are a
numerous people on both
sides of the Iron Curtain and
are a potential enemy of the
Kremlin. Restoring the Voice
of hope and truth to these
people still is the best weapon
against the Kremlin's de.
testable propaganda drive ir

The present Hudson Bay is
a remnant of one of earth's
greatest inland seas of all
time. This vast body of water
between 5000 and 1000 years
ago covered much of the
present area of Quebec. On
tario and Manitoba and ex-
ended northward to cover the
present Southampton Island
and several other Arctic
islands.
Studies upholding this the
sis have Just been reported
to the American Association
for the Advancement of Sci
ence by DR.. Hubert A. Lee
of the Geological Survey of
Canada. BY various tech
niques he has been able to
trace the shifting shore lines
of this ancient body of water
which he has named the Tyr
rell Sea after the Canadian
explorer and geologiSt. Jo-
seph Burr Tyrrell, who died
three years ago and who first
advanced the vanished sea
hypothesis.
The region covered by the
waters. he reports. was in
about the center of the last
great glaciation, the Wiscon-
sin. at its maximum advance.
1t was greatly down-warped
by the enormous weight Of
the ice forming a deep basin
which was filled with water
as the ice receded.
Shells Tell Time
The time when the ancient
sea was at its maximum. the
report says, is shown by
radiocarbon ages of shells
collected from near the high
est strand lines west and
south of the present bay.
Dates are not yet available
for the east coast.
The advance of the Tyrrell
Sea into the Hudson basin,"
says the report, shaped the
direction of the last ice recess
sion. These shifts of glacier
flow are recorded both east
and west of Hudson Bay.
Upwarping of the land upon
removal of the load of the ice
sheet caused a repression of
the Tyrrell Sea.

wood and bones collected
from the marine deposits at

THE POLITICAL MILL
BY GOULD LINCOLN
Great Debates Beneficial to Voters

HYANNIS. Mass.-The way
has now been cleared for Joint
appearances and joint debates
between Vice President Rich
ard M. Nixon, Republican
candidate for President, and
Senator John F. Kennedy of
Massachusetts, his Democrat
ic opponent, via television
and radio. They could, Of
course, have held joint meet
ings and debates without new
legislation, but the law now
enacted makes it possible to
give the two principal candi-
dates equal free time. with
out granting similar time to
the n merous presidential
candidates offered by minor
and splinter parties. Through
television and radio, however,
the audience will have been
increased by many millions
Of voters. And this. in view
of the Importance of the de-
cision which will be made at
the polls next November, is of
vast Importance. These joint
debates in a presidential race,
to which bot h candidates
have assented. Is an entirely
new wrinkle in national poll
tics.
1t is a beneficial innova-
ton. 1t will give the people a
chance, as never before, to
see and hear the opposing
candidates for the Nations
Chief Executive. In the usual
campaign, either in person or
on television, a candidate is
seen and heard by the voters
of his own party-to no great
extent by the voters of the
opposing party. These joint
meetings of Mr.. Nixon and
Senator Kennedy should be
arranged. therefore. as actual
debates of the great issues Of
the day.
LincOln-DOuglas Debates
Joint debates between po-
litical opponents for other
Offices have made history in
the past. Most notable were
the Lincoln-DouglaS debates
seven in number-in 1858.
Abraham Lincoln, Republi-
can, was running for the Sen
ate against The Little
Giant" Stephen A. Douglas
of Illinois, who was seeking
reelection. Lincoln lost be-
cause in those days Senators
were not chosen by the popu-
lar vote, but by the State
legislatures, and Douglas car
ried a few more legislative
districts than did Lincoln. al
though the latter had more
popular votes. In those de-
bates, however, Lincoln laid
the groundwork for the great
fight for the PreSi d enc y
which was to come in 1860
one hundred years ago. The
major issue in the Senate
contest between Lincoln and
Douglas was slavery, an issue
which later was to widen into
the preservation of the Union,
when Lincoln won the PreSi-
dency over three opponents
Douglas and Breckenridge,
the former supported by
Northern Democrats and the
latter by Southern Democrats,
and Bell, supported by a large
remnant of the old Whig Par
ty. The Lincoln popular vote
fell far short of a majority
but his electoral vote was
1870. Douglas II, Brecken-
ridges 70 and Bells 80.

television debate between
Representative Joel T. Broy-
hill and his Democrat op-
ponent on August 20.
I was amused and, in fact,
surprised to hear Representa-
tive BroyhillS opponent state
that Representative Broyhill
had done nothing in solving
the pollution problem result
ing from the construction Of
Dulles International Airport.
In fact. the most surprising
thing was Mr.. Broyhill's op-
ponent attempting to claim
credit for the solution.
AS your newspaper may re-
call, the undersigned. as a
member of the House Com
mittee on Appropriations. was
very much concerned about
this problem and likewise
took a very active interest in
its solution. I am, therefore.
most familiar with the en-
ergy and activity Of Repre-
sentative Broyhill in solving
this problem. 1 know of his
work with local govern
ing officials as we'll as officials
of the administration early
last year, and a compromise
solution for which an appro-
priation was requested in the
closing days of Congress last
year.
Although Mr.. Broyhill
fought desperately to obtain
the appropriations for this
compromise, which l opposed
at the time as being unsatis-
factory in the long run. the
appropriations were denied.
Even though Represent
ative Broyhill was disap-
pointed at the time, he did
agree himself that it was not
the best solution. and con-
tinued in his fight to arrive
at a better one. He contacted
the President and asked him
to hold up any further work
on the temporary treatment
plant and maintained con-
slant contact and a series OF
talks with the White House.
the Bureau of the Budget,
and again with local govern
ing officials, to come up with
a more permanent solution.
Then early last spring he had
a series of conferences with
members Of Congress here on
Capitol Hill. including my
self, and officials from the
White House and Bureau Of
the Budget. in working out
the final details of this agree
ment.
When the legislation was
finally introduced by him,
all the ground work had been
done and, as a result. it OBJ
tained quick and rapid ap-
proval by Congress. Inciden-
tally. the legislation that was
approved by Congress bears
his name and number - in
recognition of his work as
principal sponsor. In view Of
all this, it is difficult for me
to sit back and hear his OPP
ponentS make statements
which are so utterly contrary
to the facts. because l know
of no member of Congress
who has fought harder for
his district than has Rep
resentative Broyhill.
If I am to be at all critical
Of Representative Broyhill,
it Is because of the fact that
I think that sometimes his
demands in behalf of his dis
trict might be a little excess
sive. This makes it the more
appalling to hear his oppo-
nent claim credit for the So
luton to this problem.
My purpose in writing this
letter is to help to set the
record straight.

Representative from Ohio.

more attorneys on the Island of

you mentioned for fulfilling resi-

own case, it was necessary, for
urgent personal reasons, to re-
turn to the States Immediately
after my arrival on st. Croix,
and I spent approximately three
weeks there. Subsequent to re-
turning to the Island, a number
Of additional trips were neces-
sary. This absence was well
known to the Bar Association
and it was never suggested that
it interfered with the bona ide
nature of my residence. No bar
association could have been more
fair, cooperative, and helpful
than was the Virgin Islands Bar.
