TVER SINCE the dawn of history, man has
been interested in flight, and almost
everyone has looked with envy on the ease with
which the black vulture scars in clear sky.
But man need no longer look with envy. He
can copy the birds in sail plane.
To those who have tried it, there is no sport
like soaring There is no engine and no vibra-
tion-only the sound of the wind as it swishes
by There is the freedom of the sky above and
the feeling of complete relaxation and ease as
you soar from one uplifting current of air to
the next.
Soaring is not the same as gliding In Gid
ing YOU make regular descent from a certain
altitude to the ground But in soaring you look
for an uplifting air current that started prob
ABLY as a small bubble of heated air over
plowed field.
Your plane is lifted upward, although you
may be in a glide that points you earthward
It's like walking down an "up" escalatOr in a
department store. If the moving stairway is
going up at a rate of four steps for every two
steps you take down, you are going to reach
the top
Soaring is the only real sport" says Air
Force Col. John r. Smith. 1T is fascinating"
Col Smith has found it SO fascinating that
he is operating a school for beginnerS-the
Capital Area Soaring School, Inc, at Leesburg,
Va Classes are held on week ends and there is
no age minimum for taking lessons. You have
to be IA years of age to solo, but the colonePs
1OyearoId daughter already has had six les
sons. Another daughter, IA, and son, IL, also
are learning
The course of from 35 to 43 lessons costs
$375, unless you already are experienced in

power planes. In that case, fewer lessons are
needed and the course costs $127.5O.
Col Smith, himself, is an Air Force navl
gator Once the soaring bug bites you, he says,
you are gone An example is George Hammer
ly, a LeeSburg insurance executive, and an
experienced pilot of single and multienglne
craft He even holds rating as free balloon
pilot"
One day friend mentioned sail planes to
Mr.. HammerIy and he wasn't interested. Then
he met Col Smith and took his first ride. Now
YOU can find him on week ends somewhere in
the sky above the LeeSburg airport, soaring
gracefully from thermal to thermal and nest
ling snugIy under the billowy, white clouds.
The skill of soaring comes from the ability
to find and remain in the thermals In this
section of the country sail planes are taken
into the air at the end of rope attached to
tow plane and are released, usually at 2OOO
feet. It is not unusual for skilled soaring pilots
to reach attitudes well above 5000 feet, and
the world record is At 200 feet, over California
by Paul F. Bickle.
'In soaring you convert altitude to speed"
Col Smith says. Speed provides the lift. We
sink to get that speed You get into the rising
air and gain altitude. We treat the altitude as
the gasoline gauge. If you are far away from
your landing point, then you should be high"
Many sailing enthusiasts like to try for
cross country flights sailing from one thermal
to another for miles and miles. One pilot in
Texas made cross country flight OF 535 miles
Once you land, you won't stay earthbOund
for long Anyone who has tried it, Col. Smith
and other soaring enthusiasts say, will never
give it up.

already has announced schedules for

for depreciation of equipment. OF broad
er implication, however, Is a series of
engineering studies covering the obso-
lescence and depreciation problem in six
large and basic industries. Chosen for
this examination, which is scheduled to
be completed in few weeks, were the
following industries: Aircraft and parts,
automobiles, electrical machinery and
equipment, metal working machinery
and machine tools, railroads and steel.
The Treasury Department explained, in
cidentally, that these six were chosen
because they differ widely in their level
of automation and their recent expert
ence with chronological change On the
basis of the studies, complete new

Welfare ChoIIenoe

In his recent news conference on
District problems Of public welfare,
Senator Byrd of West Virginia con-
tinued what has seemed to us con-
SiStently sensible approach. His COM
mentS, furthermore, should serve to
offset some Of the rather thought
less criticism which has been fired
in his direction.
The Senator, in the first place,
declined to accept the charges that
the relatively small cutbacks he ini-
tiated in relief checks to large fami-
lies have caused widespread hardship,
or have taken food from the mouths
of hungry children.
After examining the evidence, he
said, he does not believe that the
cuts were unwise Sin the overwhelm-
ing majority of cases." Surely this
is suggested by the statistics which
show that OF 2,440 families affected,
910 took reductions of only So a
month, 635 had cuts of Sc, and 800
others of less that $40 a month. Pos
sibly, as the Senator said, some ad-
justment may be needed in the cases
of the largest of the families af-
fected. But he properly insisted that
in any such instances the degree of
hardship be backed up, not by gen.
eralized assumptions, but by "persua-
Sive" facts.
At the same time, Senator Bryd
left the door wide open for the Com
miSsioners to present to him any i'm
aginative new approaches which they
may be able to evolve for dealing
with the welfare problem. AS he has
in the past, he expressed strong in
terest in programs involving the re-
habilitation and training of those now
on relief. The development of such
programs, accompanied by the hope
that substantial welfare savings might
eventually accrue from the conversion
OF welfare recipients to Self-SuStaining
employment, also is the declared goal
OF the Kennedy administration. 1t is
goal Of course with which no think
ing person could disagree.
The precise means of accomplish
ing such a goal within the resources
of the city, however, is a tremendous
challenge-one that will require all
the thought and enterprise of which
the Commissioners are capable. Sen
ator Byrd has done we'll to assure
them that whatever they produce will
receive full and sympathetic consid-

Less Work, More Pay

The settlement" of the electrical
workers strike In New York City is
a perfect example Of what's wrong
with the construction industry in this
country.
Originally, the union demanded a
20-hour week. Now it has "compro-
missed" settling for a 25-hour week
plus an increase in hourly pay and
assurances of five hours in overtime.
Under the old contract an electrician
worked six hours a day at $40 an
hour and a seventh overtime hour for
$3.50. Under the new agreement he
will work five hours at $496 an hour
and a sixth hour at $7.44 Should there be
more than five hours of overtime he
will make more for a 25-hour week
than he did for 30-hour week.
This reduction in the work-week
cannot be explained away by automa-
ton, need to spread the work or
anything Of that sort. Actually there
is a shortage of electricians in New
York City and the union last year had
to import $3.50 men to get the work
done under Six-hour day. AS many,
or more, undoubtedly will have to be
imported this year, even though the
union has agreed that it will try to
recruit more apprentices.
The simple explanation for this re-
suit is that the union, with a monopoly
OF workers in short supply and en-
trenched behind its statutory immunity
from the antitrust laws, can get away
with just about anything it pleases.
Had an association of business men
tried to work any such gouge as this,
the Department of Justice trust
lawyers would be sweating day and
night to put them in the pokey. But
in the case of the electricians not a
voice OF protest has been raised in official
Washington.
The largest evil is that other build
ing trade unions in New York may
very we'll demand-and get-a five-hour
day. If this happens construction costs
that are already excessively high will
go even higher. All forms of public con-
struction including subsidized housing,
will cost the taxpayer more. The same
goes for apartments, homes, offices,
etc. We should think that this would
be matter Of great concern to those
whose hearts bleed for the ill-housed
But apparently 1t isn't. 1t should be
a matter of much concern to Mr..
Kennedy, with his project for getting
America moving forward again. But
there has been no evidence that it is.

Up to Sukorno

The Netherlands government has
been quick to inform United Nations
Acting Secretary General U Thant that
1t accepts his proposal for talks on
"the possibilities of a peaceful settle
ment" of the dispute with Indonesia
ever West New Guinea. In effect, Mr..
Thant has undertaken to act as me-
diator in this potentially explosive sit
uation, and the Dutch have made
clear that they are ready to negotiate
under his auspices without precon-
ditionS" Now it is up to Indonesian
President Sukarno to respond in kind;
II he does (and his first reaction, includ-
ing the dispatch ofa special envoy to the
U, NJ, indicates that he may), then a
mutually acceptable resolution of the
issue ought to be possible. Otherwise
he will be responsible for letting matters
drift from bad to worse in way that
could lead to war of unpredictable
consequences.

Cool to Soviet Envoy

In a recent letter, Mrs.

sire on the part of Moscow
for friendship with the United
States. For this reason, she
says, he should be received
with "urbanity."
Mrs. Eaton has failed to
point out that Communist
Dobrynin is a key member
OF a force which holds to-
gether in one gigantic con-
spiracy the largest and most
vicious group of numbering,
self-serving, power-seeking,
ruthless megalomaniacs the
world has ever known; that
this force. communism, is a
brilliant. experienced, tremen-
douSly successful, and utterly
ruthless conspiracy whose
leader has warned that I'VE
will bury YOU" Further, she
has failed to point out-per-
hapS, because she doesn't
know - that communism is
not a philosophy in which
men believe but a conspiracy
for which men work.
Now, If Khrushchev really
desires our friendship why
shouldn't he begin showing
his good faith by calling off
his vast subversive activities
in this country and through
out the world; by disfran-
chising the Communist Party

freeing those Americans he
has jailed in Russia without
trial; by refraining from
shooting down our military

clear disarmament; by living
up to his treaty agreements;
by no longer creating chaos
and tension throughout the
entire globe; in short, by dis
solving communism and the

Is it that Mrs. Eaton is
trying to deceive us? Ambas-

Help on One Tax Front

Regardless of the progress or the
fate of tax revision plans on Capitol Hill,
American industry may take reasonable
satisfaction from Treasury Department
moves to update depreciation allowances
for tax purposes on capital equipment.
The schedule now applied by the In
ternal Revenue Service has had no over
all revision since 1912 In the interven-
ing years, there has been virtually
chronological revolution in equipment
needs and vast increase in moderniza-
tion or replacement costs
To remain competitive both at home
and abroad, a particularly urgent re-
quirement of the times, American indus
try must meet the need of most modern
productive facilities, despite the cost and
difficulty of financing BY contrast,
much of Western Europe and Japan, the
centers of our greatest competition, have
two advantages. One, particularly in
heavily ar-damaged West Germany
and Japan, is that their industrial plants
have been almost entirely rebuilt and
with the most modern equipment de-
signed since World War II ended. The
other is that their tax systems are much
more liberal in allowing fast write-offs
on the useful lives" of such equipment,
making capital more easily available for
expansion and further modernization.

matter falls into two related categories

100 Yeors AGO

Although the Civil War
had a long way to go to Ap-
pomattox. alarms of impend-
ing defeat were being sound
ed in the Confederacy at this
time a century ago. The
South had been waging a de-
fensive campaign for months,
and, as a result, this paper
pointed out that everything
in Dixie was mot as merry
as a wedding bell" Some
Southern editors stuck their
necks out by vigorously crit
iciZing President jefferson
Davis for the questionable
way he was running the war
from Richmond. The Star of
January %, 1862, quoted the
Richmond Examiner: ".. We
have gained nothing, for we
have attempted no gain. That
we have lost comparatively
little territory during the lat
ter six months is due only
to the difficulties of an inva-
sion in a country like this .
1t is, however, undeniable that
the defensive policy, besides
the moral strain on an army
that awaits repeated and
endless attack, and the ex-
haustion of a country which
is the scene of war, has Civ
en- the enemy an uninterrupt-
ed opportunity to prepare a
gigantic host and to arrange
it at leisure for the full trial
Of relative strength when the
seasons permit the resump-
ton of hostilities. While the
political leaders of the South
have been reposing in dreams
of approaching peace, and
while our accomplished cap
tains of engineers have been
expending their remarkable
scientific ingenuity in the
erection of works as wonder
full and almost as extensive
and quite as valuable as the
Chinese wall, to resist invad-
ing forces from a given di-
rection, the enemy have grad
ually and at leisure gathered
up their immense resources
and concentrated their ire

West or the South itself Gen.
(Albert) Sidney Johnston has

fruits Of a policy purely de-
fensive. :" The Memphis
Argus, quoted in The Star of
January "a, 1862, was bolder:
%. We have yet to learn
that this Confederacy is the
private property of jefferson
Davis. or the joint domain Of
his Cabinet, and we find it
still harder to comprehend
how either the President or
his cabinet came to be con-
sidered the autocrat dispens-
erS of veal and woe to this
people, untrammeled by any
responsibility to the same.
Those at the head of af-
fairs were the leaders to the
war. We ask how are they
leading through it? This war
has now taken from our
homes some three or four
hundred thousand of our best
and bravest; has paralyzed
all business .(We) have
been made to stand still, and
(take) such cuffs and kicks
as the Northerner chooses to
give, when he pleased and
where he pleased. We have
heard our generals blamed for
not doing what it appears
they were not permitted to
do. We see access to that
peace rendered more and
more distant by the won-
drously-accumulating power
of the Federal armies and
navy. We see the advance
that was easy six months
ago difficult today, and like
ly to be impossible tomorrow.
We see that from a shoe
latchet to a steam engine we
lack everything and that the
families of our obedient SOL
dierS are suffering from the
seeming fabulous prices they
have to pay for everything
of domestic use. We look to
the future, and seeing
nothing but war, ask our
readers, ask our rulers, why
all looks darker and darker,
as day follows day; and our
vast armies prepare to rot
in their camps. while mothers
and sisters suffer from their
