DepIores SPENDING.

The Ways and Means
Committee Of the House has.
Tor reasons beyond sane un-
derStanding. raised the debt
limit Of the Government of
the United States to the
astronomical figure Of 1908
billion. necessitating an an
nual interest payment of
about $75 per capita in addi-
ton to that Of State, county
and municipal debts and in
terest.
Almost simultaneous with
this disaster, the President
announce d that he would
seek q cut in taxes in jan
uary, 1858, thus widening the
way to bankruptcy and de-
struction. It must be con-
Guided that the gentlemen in
the House are drawing sala-
rieS and emoluments far in
excess Of what each could
make in competitive enter
prise and have lost all moor
ing to the American tradi-
ton OF honesty and prog
resS by economy and thrift.
The President. on the other
hand, appears to have COM
pound filters by reason of
the stock market phenomena
and the reaction to unkind
words about the ancestry of
business men.
Whatever the reason or
mere motive behind this fl
asco, 1t is the people who
suffer and we have a right
to demand that our children
be protected from the inevi-
table bondage that such ri
diculous performances are a
sure guarantee. Comrade
Lenin observed that the Unit
ed States could be made to
spend itself into bankruptcy.
Why is our Congress so eager
to help? e. L. Culbreth.

has been developed by space
scientists at the Bureau of
Standards. 1t can be operated
at a rate Of more than 1
million frames a second. It
is intended to make records
OF luminous phenomena
very brief invisible light pro-
duction-of shock waves in
the upper atmosphere as they
pass through the so-called
"plasma", very diffuse gases
formed entirely of atoms
rather than molecules. All
gases in nature up to great
attitudes above the earth's
surface are molecular.
Such plasma, says a Bu-
reau report, lately has been
produced in the laboratory
by sending high velocity
shock waves through heliun
gas. Thus the phenomena
which supposedly occur at
very great attitudes can be
investigated close at hand.
Upper atmosphere studies
during the past year have
succeeded in determining the
density Of electrons I'D to an
altitude Of 1900 kilometers,
This density. it Is found, de-
clines regularly with altitude
for several hundred kilo-
meters above the so-called
Player Of the ionosphere
from which radio waves are
reflected and prevented from
escaping into space. At ex-
IRENE heights, however, the
decline in density is much
less.
Link to Space Flights
This work is described as
having particular application
to communication with We
hicles in space flights. This,
says the report, poses Diff
f1cultieS since signals from
space received on earth are
perturbed by the irregular
electron density of the iono-
sphere. BY studying radio
signals received from satel-
lites it has been possible to
the ionospheric cleo
tron content and the irregu-
larities above the region of
maximum electron density.
Previous studies Of signals
from radio stars and satel-
liteS provided evidence of
ionospheric irregula rites
from 100 to 500 kilometers
in extent which occur during
daylight hours on about a
third of all days. The current
studies include investigation
of the size, shape and mo-
ion Of such irregularities as
observed at many separate
observing stations"
The upper air studies also !
include intensive investiga- !
ions Of zodiacal light and air
glow, for which a special OBJ
'ervatory has been set up on
'op OF Mr.. Haliakala in
Hawaii.

Calvary History

OuhAAOy W ScO Tie record
straight with reference to
the letter headed Calvary
History" which appeared on
your editorial page June End.
1t is rather evident that the
writer Of that letter, who
left our membership in 1945.
had not attended any of the
numerous events which have
occurred during our Centen-
NAL Year, which eliminated
on Sunday, June 8, 1862.
There are several errors in
the content of the letter, the
most glaring Of which, of
course, is the statement that
the accounts of the hun
dredth anniversary have not
mentioned DR.. Samuel Har-
rison Greene. AS a matter of
fact. I am surprised that
your editorial staff did not
check these points prior to
publication Of such a letter
The memory of the outstand-
ing ministry of DR.. Greene
has been brought to the at
tention Of both our congrega-
ton and the public on fire.
quent occasions during the
past year. For example, one
Sunday morning was set aside
in which the services Of wor-
ship were built around the
life and ministry of DR..
Greene and excerpts from
several Of his outstanding
sermons were used in place
Of the regular sermons that
day.
In addition to this, many
OF the printed articles and
program bulletins prepared
for congregational observ-
ances throughout the year
included references to and
biographical extracts from
DR.. Greene's work pertinent
to the particular occasions.
Further. DR.. Greene was por-
trayed as a central figure in
the Centennial Pageant
which was presented on two
successive evenings as one of ;
the highlights Of the closing :;
week Of our Centennial Year, !
Other errors Of a more mi G

Signs of the Tines


The discarding of litter in
lts many forms has beer
causing a disgraceful condi-
ton In the District of Column
pa Tor many years. In adj
dition to marring the scenic
beauty Of our streets, parks
ana parkways, such litter
creates insanitary Conditions
which attract flies and other
insects, and rodents.
The Federation of Citizens
Associations of the District
OF Columbia has for the past
tnree years been conducting
an educational C campaign
through its anti-litter COM
mlttee in the hope of max
ing both citizens and visitors
more conscious of their care
less litter habits. It is he
heved that the more than a.
mllnon spent annually by
the Department Of Sanitation
OF the District of Columbia
ana the National Park Serv-
ice can be drastically reduced
II such anti-litter edlIca-
tional efforts can recoi,a a..
cooperation Of the entire
community. The resulting
saving would permit tax
money to be used for more
beneficial purposes.
We Of the Federation were
surprised by the editorial in
The Sunday Star of June 3
entitled Signs of the Times"
We agree that there are too
many signs about our streets
Many OF these, however. are
necessitated by the utter dis
regard for others shown bv
many Of our citizens and Wis
ltors. 1t is this same atti-
tude which is the basic cause
OF litter. The litter bug is
not beautiful but it does at
tract the attention of DO
tential human litter bugs. We
take exception to your criti-
cism Of the National PARK
Service for fighting this cost
~ litter problem in our Ma
TONS Capital in every way
possible.
Unless we can have whole
hearted support for the vari-
BUS programs directed at the
careless individuals who con-
'lnue to drop their trash
wherever they may be. the
Nations Capital will continue
% have its work crews out
1t 4 am. each morning in
,rder to have a clean city for
he 8 O'Clock arrivals, and
'ur taxpayers will continue
% pay the high cost of litter
'emoval.
We suggest that you ac-
Iuaint the public with some
4 the real litter problems in
Washington by publishing a

end Of the last school year,
a plan was initiated to in
stall an electrical scoreboard
in the gymnasium. Through
dances, the council raised
sufficient funds to buy the
Scoreboard and it was in
stalled in December Of 1861.
Another project under
taken by the Student Council
was to propose a point sys-
TEN whereby students could
earn school letters without
participation in varsity
sports. These would be aca-
demic letters and to receive
one, q student must exhibit
outstanding scholarship, cit
izenship and participate in
extra-curTicular activities.
Soon after the opening Of
the school, the physical edu-
cation department began the
formation Of the varsity
baseball team. This team
later proved to be very sue
cesSful in the Northern Divi-
sion of the Prince Georges
