FIRST SCIENCE MEDAL
Nation Honors Won Karman

the California Institute of
Technology. Later he became
director Of Cal-Tech's Guggen-
helm Aeronautical Laboratories
and its Jet Propulsion Labora-
tory.
He started the research on
the Bell X-S, which became the
first plane to break the sound
barrier. He helped design the
hydrodynamic systems for the
Grand Coulee Dam and helped
compute the optimum dimen-
sions of the huge lens for
Mount Palomar's telescope.
In 1941. he investigated the
collapse In o high wind Of the
Tacoma Narrows Bridge and
found that the builder had
neglected to allow for the Kar-
man vortex trail.
The citation for the medal
Of science award to DR.. Won
Karman reads: For leadership
in the science, and engineering
basic to aeronautics. for dis
tinguished counsel to the
armed services, and for pro-
noting international co-opera-
ton in science and engineer
ing"
Services Are Secret
DR.. Won Karman became q
United States citizen in 1896.
Details Of his distinguished
counsel" to United States
armed forces are shrouded in
official secrecy. It is no secret,
however, that the Jet Propul-
sion Laboratory. which he
headed, was essentially a think
factory" for the United States
Air Force, and much Of the
basic work Of putting the
United States in space was
done there.
Since 1862, DR.. Won Karman
has been chairman of the ad-
visory group for aeronautical
research and development Of
NATO. He also manages to
edit a scientific journal: act
as scientific director, General
Applied Science Laboratories,
Inc; director Of the Interna-
tional Academy of Astronautics,
and chairman of the board Of
direction Of the Training Gen.
ter for Experimental Aerody-
namics in Belgium.
The time not otherwise &C
counted for is spent on per-
sonal projects: Collecting an
tiques, taking color movies,
conversing with his friends and
thinking about such in
triguing long-range ideas as
an anti-gravity force.

North American NeWEpaper AIIianc,

DR.. Theodore Won Karman,
the first recipient of the Ma
tional Medal Of Science, is q
composite Of those seemingly
contradictory characteristics
that often signal the we'll
rounded man.
President Kennedy presents
the award to the short, white
haired scientist today. 1t is
the first congressionally sane
toned recognition Of the giants
Of American science. But the
recipient is essentially a prod
uct Of pre-World War Euro
pean civilization.
DR.. Won Karman often fills
the role Of the absent-minded
professor. leaving behind him
a trail Of forgotten papers.
hats and coats.
But his sense Of the prag-
matte has stood the test Of the
American competitive system.
With an initial investment Of
$3.50. he organized Aerojet
Engineering Corp. when United
States capitalists showed no in
terest in rocketry. The COM
pany Is now Aerojet-G General
Corp: DR.. Won Karman is its
chief consultant and chairman
Of its technical advisory board.
EsOteric Ideas
His place in the history books
is securely based on the de-
velopment of such eSoteric ideas
as the Karman ouble-modulus
theory Of columns, the Karman
similarity theory Of turbulence,
and the Karman vortex trail.
But discuss DR.. Won Karman
with one of his intimate coll
leagues and he will speak with
most feeling about evenings
with the bachelor at the scien-
lists ranch house In Pasadena,
Calf. There, as one put it,
surrounded by cultural objects
collected in travels around the
world, the conversation turns
to art, philosophy. politics and
other human affairs. and all
are given a fresher and more
profound significance"

Of Men and DRAGONS
By NORMA L. BANGS. Inverness

Modern man is confronted ON every
side by problems. The very founda-
tions of our lives are being ques-
toned, and threatened, on the ma
tional as well as on the international
level. Our political ideals, our eco
nonlic way of life and our Christian
ethics are being attacked. And over
all this controversy hangs the threat
of total destruction of man by his
fellow man.
The natural reaction is to fight
back. We believe our systems are
the best, we want to preserve them
and improve them. AS in every gener-
alton we have men to whom we can
point with pride; DR.. Schweitzer,
Dag Hammarskjold. We cannot all
be leaders. Most of us will live and
die without national or world recog-
milton, but our consciences demand
that we take some positive action to

THE DRAGON SLAYER

Once upon time there was a man,
an ordinary man like you or me. In
only one way was this man different
than ordinary men. He had dream,
an ideal, longing to do great deeds.
He had heard of Knights in Shining
Armor, and this was his dream. This
ordinary man wanted, with all his
hear, to be Knight in Shining Armor.
After many years of working,
dreaming and planning the man at
last found his suit of shining armor.
The suit of armor was called Patrio-
tism, and he wore it proudly.
Then he met leader who told him,
"You have a suit of shining armor,
but you are not true Knight of the
shining armor because you have slain
no dragons. Every one knows that a
Knight in Shining Armor always Stays
dragons
The ordinary man was sad. "How
can l STAY a dragon?" he asked. 81
have never even seen a dragon" The
leader told him of dragon who lived
far away across the ocean, and the
ordinary man became more despond-
emit. 81 cannot go across the ocean to
slay dragon. l have work to do here,
a family to feed and clothe.''

"More than two million American
adults have had no education at all
and IL million have completed less
than six years of schooling" That
situation, Congressman Frank Thomp-
son D-N.J.), said, "can no longer be
swept under the rug. Formerly, lack
of formal education was not an in
surmountable handicap to man of
native intelligence. But today, in this
age of increasing automation, one

"Some of the dragons seed is here"
the leader told him. "Come with me
and will tell you how. to recognize
the dragons seed and how to plan
your battle against them" Eagerly
the ordinary man listened and studied
and learned the signs by which to
recognize the dragons seed. Eagerly
he searched in his daily life and soon
he found the dragons seed. He re-
membered his lessons, he planned his
battle, he slew the dragons seed!
| 1t was surprisingly easy battle.
He turned toward home with an I'M
easy heart.
At his door, he polished his suit
of shining armor before entering. To

Each of us has a personal dragon.
1t may be political dragon, Com
munism; or an economic dragon, with
the same name. Perhaps it is the re-
igious dragon, atheism, or the old
SOCIOLOGICAL dragon, racial prejudice.
1t could be a moral dragon; drunken
ness, vice, corruption.
Whatever form our dragon takes,
we must beware of fanatics who see
the dragons seed in everything and
everyone who does not blindly believe
as they do. We must attack our drag
ons in the light of truth and brotherly
love, not in the darkness of fear and
prejudice.
We cannot preserve democracy by
denying freedom to those who dis
agree with us. We cannot preserve
our Christian religion by destroying
those whose beliefs do not match our
own. We cannot preserve peace by
going to war.
Jesus said, ''They that are whole
have no need of physician, but they
that are sick. / come not to call the
but sinners to repentance"
Let us strive to tame our dragons
with love, truth and justice, or we
shall find we have killed ourselves
along with the dragon we have slain.
