Riverside, Calf, in four
hours. More are coming.
A year and a half ago, a
young lieutenant colonel
named Donald F. Martin
wrote an article called
Counterforce for the Air
University Quarterly Re-
view. 1t amounts to a bible
of United States intent.
Martin says that the Air
Force had two choices:
% To deter war through
terror, and (2) to deter war
through military superiority.
The United States has
chosen the second.
If it had chosen terror,
the job would have been
easier. We could make big
bombs with plenty Of fallout
to be used on Soviet cities.
We could use a new knowl-
edge of cheap biological war
fare. which guarantees scores
of millions Of people dying
of disease while, at the same
time, withering all plant life.
Col. Martin feels that 10 per
cent of a population can live
through such terror.
However, without knowing
the intent of the Russians,
the United States Air Force
is making smaller ICBMS.
not larger ones. Atlas is
barely operational; it will
be followed by Titan next
summer but both will be
followed by Minuteman, a
smaller intercontinental We
hicle carrying a smaller
bomb. The Russians spe-
cialize in diversified weapons.
Perhaps the easiest way
to destroy a nation" writes
Col. Martin, "is to incinerate
its major cities and with
them the bulk of the popula-
tion. A large number Of
weapons is not required.
Cities are completely vulner-
able to attack by nuclear
rocket"
He also mentions gigaton
H-bombs. Since one of these
could incinerate an area
from Boston to Washington,
a few such weapons could
virtually incinerate a ma
ton" The United States
has turned away from terror
and makes H-bombs cut to
fit military targets in Russia.
Even so, the colonel feels
that both nations lose S to
10 per cent of their popula-
ton - nine to 20 million

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My
mother is 80 and in a pitiful
condition. She has been los
ing her eyesight for several
years and cannot hear too
clearly. She is terribly de-
pressed and gets no pleasure
out of living. She wakes up
in the morning deathly sick
in her stomach. She has a
pressure in her chest and a
terrible dread. I haven't
had her to our doctor for
some time because I don't
feel anything will help at
this age. May I have your
Suggestions?-Mrs. N.
NO PATIENT is too young
or too old when the question
of medical care arises. See
your doctor. It would be
wonderful, wouldn't it, if a
little pill taken a few times
a day would straighten her
out? Yet, it's possible
although I'm not making any
promises.
For example, there is a
drug called chlorpromazine
which has helped many
elderly patients with symp-
toms similar to your moth
er's. You can't get it with
out a prescription. Even if
you could, I advise you not
to experiment with it. Let
your doctor decide if and
how to use it. Your moth
er's sight and @hearing will
not improve, but there's a
possibility that her depres-
sion will disappear, and life
will turn into living rather
than continue as mere
existence.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: NV
father who is II has a ter
rifle appetite. I've never
seen anyone enjoy food so
much. But what worries me
is that he loves meat, such
as steaks. roasts, lamb chops
and all the rest. Would he
be better off with little meat
or no meat?-Mrs. F..
THEY'RE A JOY to watch
these elderly folks with
excellent appetites. Meat
won't hurt your father. It
is better to spend money on
a good roast, rather than for
vltamins, with the hope that
you can increase a poor
appetite. Your father doesn't
have that problem.

Also. whatever weapons the
Russians have do not reach
to 10000 feet. The Ameri-
can Bomarc, for example,
would have locked on
through radar and chased
the U-2 into oblivion.
If war comes, the primary
weapon of retaliation will
be the B-52. There are $50
of them. and the newer
ones can remain aloft 80
hours without refueling.
Each one carries nuclear
bombs in two Hound Dog
missiles under the wings, in
addition to a big bomb in
the bay, plus an item called
Quail, which looks like a
small plane and which, when
released, flies off on a tan

The B-52 can carry a tre-

Union and, en- route home,
can advise whether the mis-
siles have already elimi-
mated their assigned targets.
This plane also has a re-
mote-controlled system of

The Russians displayed a
weakness in air defense.
They thumped their chests
and boaSted when they
caught United States Air
man Powers and put him on
trial for aerial espionage.
But they did not mention
that the American U-2
plane had made 1000 flights
over the Russian heartland
before Powers was caught.
The only reason he was
captured was because his
engine famed out. He had
to come down.
The previous 1000 flights

Artificial Hip Joints
Urged for Elderly

CLEVELAND. The use
Of artificial hip joints for
elderly persons with frac-
tured hips is urged by a
team of Cleveland doctors.
They find the artificial
joint enables the patient to
be up and about in a day
or so, and complications are
rare. The alternative bone
set method frequently fails,
involves long, hazardous con-
valescence, and is often fol-
lowed by complications.

Are Corporation Farms Efficient?

WE DON'T HEAR so much talk about
corporation farms displacing family farms
as we did few years ago. Most of the
studies that have been made show that the
efficiently operated family farm is more
than holding its own. IN fact there are indi-
cations that it is the corporation farm that
is in danger Of losing out
sThe advantage of Dig scale are reached
at low point in agriculture, says DR.. P. III.
Stephens, Director of Research for the Farm
Credit Banks of Wichita, as reported in Ne
braska Farmer. Dr.. Stephens has just COM
p1eted studying the records of more than
I 500 farms enrolled IN six farm manage
ment associations in Kansas.

tages over Imam operation, but or 10

allowed to take part in activities too COM
plex for their physical and mental capaci-
ties. Some youngsters were injured because
they were permitted to play in the vicinity
of running machines.
The doctors concluded that the most inn
portant step in avoiding accidents is to de-
velop a genuine respect for the farm ma
chine and the farm animal, and their po-
tentiaI danger. In group safety-first pro-
grams, the stimulation of pride in achieve
ment of accident control is also resultful.
Self-discipline in slowing the pace and
in taking regular rest periods often results
in greater efficiency as we'll as in avoidance
of injury.
Machinery and animals are by no means
the sole causes of accidental injury. Many
accidents happen to housewives and other
members of the family right in the farm
home.
Accidents occur on Montana and WyO-
ming farms and ranches every day. If you
don't want to join this long and growing
list, you'll do well to give consideration to
these accident causes spotlighted by this
survey reported recently by the American
Medical Association.
