I'll take more of your time to
mention just one of many, many
things that can be said FOR pro-
hibition-A retired president of
Colgate University said this :.
despite a sharp decline in the
number of deaths due to alcohol
ism and alcoholic psychosis dur
ing prohibition the vets and their
dupes maintained that prohibit
ton was failure In 1920 first
admissions to the hospitals IN
New York for alcohol psychosls
were IL for each 100000 popula-
ton, Can all time low. In 1941
the figure was 10 for each 100000
an all time high"
You state there are 3 basic
things which hold true in hui
man nature, y men chasing Wom-
en-, q gambling, - drinking. You
sort of hint that they aren't the
best things in life, but we are
helpless nincompoops and should
lust. stand by and let evil have
the day. May say it in another
way? "The real way to get rid
of evil is to transform the peo-
pie who practice it and the only
way you can transform people IS
to love them"
Your compassion and concern
for the alcoholic is noteworthy

'Deoth Wurrunt'

AMMAN, Jordan, Sept. 3
(AP).-Jordanians today DEM
onstrated against President
Canal Abdel Nasser of the
United Arab Republic and de-
clared he has issued his own
death warrant.
Shouting anti-Nasser slogans,
d m onstrators marched
through Amman and attempted
to reach the UAR Embassy.
They were turned back by Jor-
danian security forces.
Speakers whipped up the
crowds with shouts that Presi-
dent Nasser has built his
regime on the bodies of his VIC
Tins =. Nasser has issued his
own death warrant"
The demonstration came as
King Hussein of Jordan ap-
peared for public prayer at the
Grand Husseini Mosque. 1t was
his first public appearance
since the bomb assassination of
the Jordanian Prime Minister,
Hazza Majali, Monday. Ten
other persons were killed when
bombs wrecked the government
building housing Mr.. Majali's
Office.
King HusSein has accused
the UAR of completely in the
assassination and says two
plotters who planted the bombs
fled to Syria. Syria and Egypt
are Joined in the United Arab
Republic.

fusion explosives to create a
one begaton explosion,
Pentagon calculators estimate
this explosion would burn up
everything and everybody over
a 100000 square-mile area
500-mile diameter circle OF
cinders almost as big as Texas.
This is a rough estimate.
Any survivors emerging from
underground shelters would
find their food and drink
burned.
The satellites could be trig-
gered so they would go off only
over the enemy country and to
blow up if anyone tried to des-
troy them. This would be the
truly invulnerable weapon of
retaliation.
Why build them? The con-
sensus in the Pentagon is that
the difficulties of all-out nu-
clear war = particularly when
we assume we will not strike
f1rst-make it difficult to con-
ceive of fighting and winning
in the traditional concept of
war. 1t is growing more and
more logical, military men be-
lieve, to aim at sheer deStruc-
ton and to assume that thek0
enemy will not dare start a
war if we can destroy him.
Seek More for Less
With the growing cost of
weapons, the services are look
ing constantly for a cheaper
way to carry more blast to the
enemy. We can now deliver
about 20 megatons in one bang
by airplane. Presumably the
Russians can do the same. But
steeply rising explosive yields
and sharply dropping costs are
in sight. And the resulting
doomsday weapons should be
able to deter more for less, the
argument goes.
Military men see another
saving potential in doomsday
weapons-to their regret. They
would make most of the Air
Force and a good part of the
Navy unnecessary.
Civilian scientists in the
Atomic Energy Commission
could build a handful of hega-
ton weapons. Scientists in the
Aeronautics and Space
Administration are building
the Nova which could shoot
the doomsday satellites into
orbit. And the President or
his survivor could push the
button. There would be no need
for present big-war forces like
the Strategic Air Command or
Polaris submarines.

jams along East Coast high
ways should be expected on the
holiday week end due to the
extra number of trucks and
buses being brought into service
because of the Pennsylvania
Railroad strike.
Another outgrowth of the
strike was the furloughing OF
employees by the Richmond

A spokesman pointed out that
there has been some reduction
in freight and passenger volume
with shippers turning to trucks

been expected - despite the
added impact of the Pennsyl-

Automobile traffic was heav-

more than $4,000 cars passed
through during the 24-hour
period ending midnight Fri
day. The figure was short of
the $4,000 record set on the
Fourth Of July week-end's
heaviest day. Traffic was re-
ported heavy yesterday, too.
Cars were moving steadily
but smoothly across the Chesa-.

Myth Nears Reality
Doomsday weapons, to con-
tinue the public introduction to
the technical terms of utter
destruction, is a coinage of a
Rand Corporation scholar who
first used it to point out the
nonsense of carrying the phil
sophy of destruction to its
logical conclusion. He envi-
stoned a mythical weapon that
would blow up the world, put
Uncle Sans finger on the trig-
ger and had him saying to the
enemy, "One false move and
I'll fire." Others have shown,
however, that his myth could
be a near reality.
A begaton doomsday weapon
could be built from hardware
now on the drawing board.
Gigaton weapons, the far-out
Pentagon idea men say, are
completely feasible.
The simplest doomsday weap-
on would be a submarine
crammed with nuclear explo-
sives and planted off the Rus
sian or American west coast.
1t could be exploded by a re-
mote pushbutton. spewing a
mountain of radioactive water
and mud over millions of down.
wind square miles. Prevailing
winds, of course, blow from
west to east, so it would be
difficult for the Russians to
destroy much more than the
eastern seaboard with this sort
of weapon Soff our Atlantic
coast.
For another doomsday weap-
on, a Nova rocket (partS of
are now in the early test
ing stage) could be used to
shoot monster nuclear bomb
into orbit. The mighty Nova will
be able in five years to put into
orbit 800 miles high enough
