THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

and glory of knowledge, how.
ever, has its bad points.
We are not sure that some,
at least, of today'S stress and
strain is not due to our deter
mination to know.
In the old days, people as a
group did not have this desire
so much, at least they left the
most of it to those divinely
appointed to know.
y -
This was pretty tough on
the appointed, but really very
good for the rest of the
populace.
How nice it must have been,
to know nothing about the
major and grand tactics of
life!
There were certain persons,
appointed and paid, as it
were, to take care Of such
things.
Now we all know every
thing, or at least think we
do. We hear about everything
the moment it happens, and
often see it, too, almost as
quickly.
Nothing of the worlds
weight of sorrow and tears
escapes us.
We have a thousand cares
where peoples of past ages
had but one.
Surely it is possible for the
average person to reduce, if
ever so slightly, the weight Of
woe of the world.
He can do this, for one
thing, simply by not wanting
to know so much.
1t is easy.
Take these blasted birds
rocking the dawn with their
din.
Instead of wondering which
one is which, and why, just
try to concentrate on deter
mining how many you hear
in half an hour.
At first, you may not hear
much more than the triple
roll of the ambitious robin,
or the cascade Of sound of
Jenny Wren.
Pretty soon, more and more
bird songs come into the ears.
All, the wood thrush!
Together, they make up
not a din, but natural SYM
phony, and if the listener,
instead of growing red in the
face, will listen carefully, he
will have the same pleasure
he has at a symphony con-
cert, as he watches the vari-
Gus players.

with mosquito netting. He
invariably slept better there
than at home.
This country was born
when the people rebelled
against the infringement of
less important rights than
the right to mind their own
business and manage their
own affairs without harming
others. Could it be that those
who have m o m n tarily
avoided the tolls of the law
on one count must be made
by other means to feel the
weight of the majesty of the
law? George S. Vincent.

any event are slated to move into the

with the construction of a new west

sense than to take over the Courthouse,

Cost of Health Aid

Solvent mathematics will
determine the success or fall
ure of aged health-aid legis-
lation. Unless there is bipar-
tisan agreement to compel
national uniformity of costs
and coverage, any bill will
bankrupt our Social Security
System,
All current proposals offer
health-aid to the aged in
the form of days of hospital
ization and nursing home
coverage. Failure to define
and regulate disqualification
coverage means inevitable
bankruptcy, if the more cost
ly alternative is over-used.
The Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics reports that in 1860 a
semiprivate hospital bed in
Atlanta cost SIS a day. 1t
cost S29 a day in Boston.
Gen. Floyd L. Wergeland, ex-
ecutive director of the Medi-
care program for qualified
dependents of military per-
sonnel, told Congress: The
cost per patient per day in
civilian hospitals averaged
$52.65 this year and will rise
to $3.50 next fiscal year.
Last year the figure was
$50.06.
Medicare proves that with
out compulsory, national uni
formity of costs and coverage,
disqualification costs will be-
come bankrupting. Likewise,
it will bankrupt our Social
Security System if hospital
ization is over-used and nurS-
ing home care is under-uSed.
The American Hospital AS
sociation reports that in 1858
the national average for daily
custodlal-type care in nom
Federal pSychiatric hospitals
was $500. This is a basic
minimal figure whose ac-
tuarial analysis could be used
to calculate the per diem
cost of properly regulated
nursing home care. Both SOL
vency and social suff1ciency
of aged health-aid legisla-
ton depend upon the ability
of Congress to compel ma
tional uniformity of costs and
coverage.
This could be done by our
social security guaranteeing
only the fair, nationally uni
form minimal costs of hos
pitalization and nursing home
care. Should either be abused,
or any State demand a
higher indemnity, that State
should be assessed a penalty
or required to subsidize its
own increase. If Boston wants
$l4 more per diem for hos
pitalization than Atlanta,
that is a State and not a Fed
eral responsibility and con-
cern. Our Federal Social Sc
curity System has no duty to
subsidize State privilege or
preference.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Army Has Rubber Tired Freiqht Train
By THOMAS r. HENRY

n
A four or five car overland
freight train now is being
developed by the Army.
1t is literally a train"
which doesn't require a rail-
road. Still to some extent in
the experimental stage, it
has been tested successfully
over the rough terrain of the
Greenland ice cap.
It is a 600-horsepower
hookup with enormous in
flatable tires. 1t is 173 feet
long. weighs approximately
10000 pounds, and has a
cargo capacity of As tons.
1t is designed especially, say
Ordnance Corps engineers.
for such tasks as keeping
armored divisions constantly
supplied with gasoline with
out requiring roads of any
sort. The lack of such a
means of transportation, it is
claimed. considerably slowed
down Gen. George Patton's
fast advance through Ger
many to the Austrian border
late in the second World
War.
Huge Tire Changing Job
One complication might be
mentioned - to change one
of the tires would require
three or four men working
fast for half a day. How
ever, in all the tests to date
one of the enormous tires
never has had a blowout.
This, of course, is only one
OF the remarkable new de-
velopments being achieved by
the Army's scientific re-
search program. which prom
iseS to change the nature of
war very markedly in the
next few years. The program
has to its credit, for example,
metals with only one part of
impurity in a million, tur-
bines which can operate at
1000 degrees c. and COM
putting machines so compact
that as many as $50, 900 parts,
some quite complex, can be
put into a cubic foot of space.
There is a constant search,
both by Army personnel and
industrial contractors, to get
lighter tanks and lighter
trucks to increase mobility in
war.
Among the developments
recently demonstrated is a
new infantry foot bridge for
crossing relatively small
streams. It can be thrown
over as much as 300 feet of
water in about IS minutes
and enables rs men to cross
In two or three minutes. The
bridge can be constructed
and an entire battle group
gotten to the other side in
less time than construction
Of a bridge alone would have
required during the Korean
conflict.
An infra-red "eye" which
can detect extremely minute
quantities Of colorless, in
visible gas in the atmos-
phere at distances of at least
a quarter mile has been de-
veloped by the Army Chemi-
cal Corps.
Once the communicating
agent has been spotted, the
device proceeds automatical-
ly to flash lights and sound
alarms to warn field troops
of the danger. BY appropri-
ate setting" of the device,
according to a demonstra-
ton by Chemical Corps of
flcerS. it should be possible
to tell the specific kind of
gas present.
There probably is little

1t is noted that the subtance,

OF course, all of us, includ-
ing nonsmokers, are exposed

ly, however, the exposure to
benzpyrene would be less and
thus less cancer.

to come back as a vital
weapon in another war. It
was not used either In World
War II or in Korea but there
is now a new realization OF
its potency with recent ad-
vanceS. especially the devel-
opment of the newer nerve
gases.
Rather startling revela-
lations Of the rate at which
disease = causing organisms
can be spread in the atmos-
phere also have resulted
from recent Chemical Corps
experiments. Relatively
small amounts of non-patho-
genie organisms have been
sprayed in the air from a
simple nozzle. The wind does
the rest.
One such type of bacteria
released on the California
coast was quickly demon
strated in the air % miles
away, covering a total of more
than $4,000 acres. Sprayed
from a ship off the coast Of
North Carolina, another
harmless organism - most
bacteria are harmless and
some quite beneficial-spread
quickly for 400 miles down
wind. Studies also have been
concentrated on the wheat
rust which starts north out
of Mexico each year and
eventually covers, it is esti-
mated, about 4l,000,0O0
acres.
Radar-Wave Hazards
A long-range study Of dan
ger from exposure to radar
waves now is being conducted
by one of the Navy's largest
airplane contractors.
Already in progress for the
past six years, this study is
expected to establish def
nitely the safe limit for hu-
man beings-if there is any
safe limit-of this very short
wave radiation which is more
or less in everybody'S envi-
ronment but especially in that
OF everybody working with
radar transmitterS.
The status is described in
a bulletin of the Navy Med
ical Department.
Numerous reports have
appeared" says the bulletin,
indicating that tissue in
jury and animal death can
occur under certain expert
mental conditions. The
studies indicate that cata-
ractS, corneal opacities, tes-
ticular degeneration and
hemorrhages have been in
duced in anaesthetized small
furry animals by exposure.
Damage has also been pro-
duced experimentally to the
central nervous system and
degenerative changes in the
kidneys, heart, liver and gas
trointestinal tract.
Animals were exposed for
periods of seven to ten min
utes and all those whose
temperatures rose to 112.l F.
died"
All these effects were es-
tablished in experimental
animals. The human picture
remains much in question
The present program, says
the report is designed TO
detect any cumulative bio
logical effects of longtime
exposure to micro-waves of
varying frequency and power
output in persons who have
taken minimal precautions
and to observe possible ef-
fectS on persons working for
short periods near extremely
high-powered airborne radar
with pulsed wave emissions.
The highly idealized objective
is to establish safe minimum
