Bureaucrats’ Silly Season Has
Air Force Hyin; in Circles
BY FPETER EDSON
: ~+.NEA Washington Cotrespondent
VVAS.HINGTON.—(NEA)———!“ their spare time,
government employes have a lot of fun kidding
their superiors. Let some big bureaucrat or brass
announce a policy that doesr¥t make sensge, and
sure enough, the civil servants will start writing
confidéfitial, satirical memos to each other, mak
ing fun-of the boss in goofy gobbledygook.
Cne such memo that has been going the rounds
in the: Pentagon building where Army, Navy and
Air Force have their headquarters, is a fake trans
cript of an imaginary press conference with an
aviation general. It is carefully stamped “Top
Secret.,”. Understand, it never took place. But here
are its highlights.
Question—General, what are your plans for the
next war?
‘Angwer—There won't be a_next war. When all
the other nations hear aboui our plans, they won’t
dare to start a war. ?
Q—Well, what are' the pluns?
A—First of all, we will restrict our offensive 10
the dir. .By fharicating an overwhelming offense,
‘we can ignore the: defense, This can be achieved
by dreadnaughts of the air. We refer to these as
“airnaughts.” ; {
CLOSED SHUTTLE PRINCIPLE
~ Q—What will the airnaught be like?
A—lt will operate on the closed shuttle princi
‘ple. This is the prcoedure whereby an aircraft can
bomb a target and keep going, returning to its
startifig point without turning around.
.. Q-—You mean the plane will fly compietely
around the earth?
; A—The details aren’t worked out yet, but the
‘plan is comparatively simple. If one plane can g 0
5,000 _miles, two planes can go 10,000 miles. Now,
if you double the fuel load of those two planes,
you get-20,000 miles, and so on. Actually, we
“won’t need ag much fuel, because the planes will
{ly taster. i .
. Q—How much faster?
A-—Well, a plane standing on the ground is
Nt"!‘aveling about 1,000 miles an hour because the
‘earth rotates 24,000 miles in 24 hours. We should
be able to add another 1,000 miles per hour tc
that, and thus get around ‘the world in 12 hours
. . . with optimum velocitation.
‘%fi-—f—'-\&’ill the airnaught carcy any pay load?
v@-:—Définitely. Every member of the crew will
draw flight pay.
= Me you going to have any trouble getting
enough fuel? _
- A-T;-i'_rgoné at all. We are working on a fuel.re
‘covery system by which each plnae reprocesses
the exhaust gases of the plane ahead, and thus
manufactures its own fuel. -
Q-—But General, how will the first plane got its
fuel? » . !
A—There won't be any first plane. There will
be a continuous ring of pianes so that each one
will have a plane ahead of it. This constitutes a
sort of endless bomkhelt.
. Q--Does this mean that planes would be re
fueled-m the air? i
A-=We would go much farther than that. We
‘expect to reservice the plane in all respects and
exchange flight crews even while airborne, Thus
we can-dispense with bases when the program 18
-ultimated.
Q—How will you handle the enemy defense
against the bombbelt?
A—The enemy won't have any defenses, since
.we propose to devote all our poiential to the of
fense. And since all the other“powers pattern their
airforces _after our organization, the enemy is
bound 'to be caught without any defense.
-Q—Are there any other developments you can
t-ell né about"
"A-—Under our directivation, project enginairs
are working on projectile traps and strato-mines.
The “new binocular electronics have also provided
us Wwith missile reversers, blind underwater re
.mote photography (BURP) and eiectronic camou
flage- (Chameleonics). Retro-radar will permit
. keeping the bombsight on the ground, so that the
- groundier can take over the bombadier’s job,
which will eveutually be handled automatically.
As you can see, we have just about eliminated the
< man from the problem. The next logical step is to
. eliminate the machine. We call this demechaniza
. tion. We have written svecifications for bombs
~which will be absolutely devastating and must not
- exceed one pound in weight.

Election May Help Establish ‘
More Up-to-Date Opposition
The election on November 2, instead Of;
marking the end of the Rooszveltian Dem
ocratic Party, revealed some grave and |
unsuspected symptoms in the apparently |
robust GOP. ‘
It developed that there was a tendency
toward hardening of the arteries, and al
slight growth of moss upon the back. He!
was definitely not the pin-up boy of two
years ago. A change in living habits and a
new outlook seemed indicated. '
These symptorms, of course, are not gen
eral throughout the party. But they do
afflict some GOP congressmen. The|
voters, sensing this, prescribed for them a|
long rest and freedom from the heavy
dutieg of government.
This drastie action by the voters was a
shock and a surprise to the Republicans.
But it probably will be beneficial to them
in the end. For there is 2lmost certain tol
be some sober stock-taking by party lead
ers very shortly. And ic would be no sur
prige to see some younger or more modern
minded members given a bigger hand in
the making of party policy. ‘
A strong, militant out-of-power party is
a necessary safeguard of our democracy.
But the opposition must stay in tune with
the times. It must be sensitive to the trend |
of the people’s interests and desires. Sev
eral Republican leaders in Congress, par
ticularly in the House, failed to meet
these requirements, They will not be back
in Washington, come January.
The election must have showed them, if
they did not know it before ,that the ma
jority of Americang of both parties want
no part of isolationism, or of hair-splittim):l
and penny-pinching where peace and se
curity are involved. It showed them that,l
at the payoff, the voters have more au
thority than the lobbyists. It showed them
that if one Congress does nothing tbout
lowering prices or providing low-cost'
houging, the people will make a change in
the hope of getting a Congress that will. |
However ncstalgic one may feel aboutl
them, the old days are gone—the davs of
great fortunes on one hand and wide
apread poverty on the other; the days of
unregulated business freedom; the daysi
of safetv and aloofness hehind our two
oceans. The world has shrunk and Amer
ica has grown. And as we grow more
populous and urbanized and mechanized,
we grow more independent. The federal
government can no longer #it by and let
things take care of themselves.
There are plenty of Republicans who
realize this. They believe in conservation
and reclamation, in greater economic
equality and better health education.
They realize the government’s obligation
to help secure these things. They are con
scious of the inescapable obligations that
go with our leading place in world affairs.
They can rightly be called progressive
and liberal. And yet they are good and
true Republicans.
Perhaps now these men wili be given
greater influence. For the record of the
old Republican leadership in Congress
rose to haunt the GOP presidential can
didates in 1940 and 1944 and 1948, and to
contribute greatly to their defeat. If that
fact has finally been brought home to the
party, perhaps we shall new have a minor
ity leadership in Congress which speaks
in closer harmony with the voice of the
people.
America ic not a melting pot at all, it is
a symphony. The precious groups that
have come to these shores must not dis
appear into an assimilative cauldon, they
must retain their uniqueness which has
come out of their special heritage.—Dr.
Abram Leon Sachar, president of the new
Brandeis University. :
Todayv our natioral life swings along on
a steadv cadence of national optimism.
The tragic era of confusicn, extravagance,
cruel economic dislocation and costly ad
ministrative bungling is at an end.—Rep.
Joseph W. Martin (R) of Massachusetts.
High prices are not only a worry to our
people, but are a threat to our economy.
We must, however, be realistic enough to
realize that we cannot raise the profits
and the wages and the price of materials
and still expect the price of the finished
product to remain low. — Senator Ray
mond E. Baldwin (R) of Connecticut.

THE STORY
Time, 1880 .. Place, New Orleans
~ Louis Durand, 37, a well-to-do
bachelor, has been corresponding
with Miss Julia Russell, whom he
has never seen. He has proopsed
marriage and she has accepted.
According to her picture, Miss
Russell is dark-haired, strong
featured and no longer young.
Durand goes down to the dock to
meet the boat that is to bring her
from St. Louis. He is dumfound
ed when an exquisite young blond
creature introduces herself as
Julia. She explains her little de
ceit by saying she didn’t want him
to fall for jusi a pretty face. Du
rand is enchanted with her and
they ‘are married. Certain things
puzzle him, however, during their
first days together. Among them
is the fact Julia has never opened
her trunk. She says she lost the
key. When a letter arrives from
her sister chiding her with not
writing, he insists she reply, takes
her letter to mail himself. |
#® # " \
’ The next morning, he thought
she never had looked lovelier, and
never had been more loving.
~ She was in lilac watered silk,
which had a rippling sheen run
ning down it from whichever side
you looked at it. It sighed as she
walked, as if itself overcome by
her loveliness. She did not stay
at table as on other days, she ac
companied him to the front door
to see him off, her arm linked to
his waist, his arm to hers. And as
the slanting morning sunlight
caught her in its glint, then re-.
leased her, then caught her again’
a step further on, playing its mot
tled game with her all along the
hall, he thought he had never seen
such a vision of angelic beauty.
They stopped. She raised her|
face from the side of his arm, she
took up his hat, she stroked it of
dust, she handed it to him.
They kissed.
She prepared his coat, held it
spread, helped him on with it.
They kissed.
He opened the door in readi
ness to go.
They kissed.
She sighed. “I hate to see you
go. And now I'll be all alone the
rest of the livelong day.”
. “What will you do with your
self?” he asked in compunction,
with the sudden—and only mo
mentarily—realization of a male
that she too had a day to get
'through somehow, that she con
tinued to go on during his ab
sence. “Go shopping, I suppose,”
he suggested indulgently.
Her face brightened a moment,
as though he had read her heart.
‘“Yes—!” Then it dimmed again.
'“No—" she said, forlorn. Instantly
his attention was held fast. “Why,
not? What'’s the matter?” . ...
l - “Oh, nothing—" She turned he)i"
+head away, she didn’t want to tel
'him. : |
He took hold of the point of her
tchin and turned it back again.
'Julia, I want to know. Tell me.
What is it?” He touched her
shoulder. ; .
' She tried to smile, wanly. Heit
‘eyes looked out the door.
| He had to guess finally. '
“Is it money?” i
! He guessed right.
i Not an eyelash moved, but
-somehow she told him. Certainly
not with her tongue.
i He gasped, half in laughter.
“‘Oh, my pool-foolish little Julia
—!” Instantly his coat flew open,
his hand reached within. “Why,
you only have to ask, don't you‘
know that—?" ; |
| This time there could be no mis
taking the answer. “No—! No—!
No!” She was almost vehement
jabout it, albeit in a pouty, petu
‘lant child’s sort of way. She even
‘tapped her toe for emphasis. “I
’don't like to ask for it. It isn’t
‘nice, I don’t care if you are my
jown husband. It still isn’t nice. I
iwas brought up that way, I can’t
change.”
“Then what do you want?”
She gave him a typically fem
~inine answer. “I don’t know,”
“But you do want to go shop
ping, don’t you? I can see you do
by your look. And yet you don’t
want me to give you the money
for it.”
“Isn’t there some other way?”
she appealed to him helplessly.
“I could slip it under your plate,
unasked, for you to find at break
fast,” he smirked.
» & o
She saw no humor in the sug
gestion, shook her head’ absently,
still busy pondering the problem,
finger to tooth edge. Suddenly she
brightened, looked at him.
“Couldn’t 1 have a little account
of my own—? Like you have, on
ly—Oh, just a little one, tiny—
small-—"
Then she decided against that,
before he could leap to give his
consent, as he had been about to.
“No that'd be too much bother,
just for hats and gloves and
things—" About to fall into dis
heartened perplexity again, she
recovered, once more lighted up
as a new variant occurred to her.
“Or better still, couldn’t I just
share yours with you?” She spread
out her hands in triumphant dis
covery. “That’d be simpler yet.
lJust call it ours instead. It’s there
already.” &
He crouched his shoulders down
low. He slapped his thigh sharply.
“By George! Will that make you
happy? Is that all it will take?
God bless your trusting little
heart! We'll do it!” ‘

She flew into his arms like a
shot, with a squeal for a firing
report. “Oh, Lou, I'll feel so big,
so important! Can I, really? And
can I even write my own checks,
like you do?” /
To love someone, is to give, and
to want to give more still, no
questions asked. To stop and think,
then that is not to love.
“Your own checks, in your own
handwriting, in your own purse.
I’ll meet you at the bank at 11,
Will that time suit you?”
She only pressed her cheek to
his.
“Will you know how to find it?”
She' only. pressed her cheek to
his again, around on the other side
of his face.

STRANGE THINGS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES
NEW YORK—(AP)—Our menu
for today is two short stories.
The friends who told them to
me thought the stories were new
and true. But a thing can be new
and true to one person and old and
false to another. How else can
you explain love, hamburger and
Santa Claus?
Personally, I have never heard
the first story before. And it may
be true. The second story — in
one variation. or another — has
probakly been told since the
Greeks camped outside Troy.
But a restaurant can’t change its
whole bill of fare every day. And
with that cautious preamble, let
us go on to the stories:
A beautiful lady went into a
fashionable Fifth Avenue store to
buy a new dress. There was a
strangeness in“her manner that
caught the salesgirl’s interest.
It was the lady’s fixity of pur
pose. She seemed to know exactly
what she wanted. When she had
selected a dress, she went into an
other room to have it fitted.
“I want the sleeves here,” she
said, pointing to her arm. “And I
want the skirt to fall exactly
here.” and she indicated the
length.
The fitter lcoked up and ob
jected politely:
“That isn’t the way they are
are wearing them this year. It's
out of fashion.”
“I know,” said the lady. “But I
am going to San Francisco to meet
my husband. He’s been with the
army overseas. Now he’s coming
home. And when I meet him I
want to be dressed just as I was

: I’M worth more dead than alive—carty right now more life
insurance than I should.” I heard a friend make that statement
recently—and promptly I told him he was wrong. ,
No man is over-insured. Let me prove that to you. Supsn N
pose a man is earning $5,000 a year. To his family he represents faic
$125,000 safely invested at 4 per cent. When he dies, he should :
leave them an estate of that amount, or slightly less since his
expenses can be deducted.
: Now the practical fact is that a man earning $5,000 can- 1
not carry $125,000 in life insurance—and support his family 7
=—so any average man is always “underinsured.” He is never
“worth more dead than alive.” -
P'm not in the life insurance business—neither is the bank. 1
But the bank is vitally concerned with people. The bank \
knows that the proper way to plan for your family is to carry :
sufficient life insurance to create as much of an estate as possi-=
ble. Then arrange to have the Trust Department administer s
that estate to provide income for your family. Even as your a"
family cannot produce the estate so will they be limited in ‘1;«'
i
ability to invest and conserve it. Ron

~ The German family had been
receiving gift packages from rela

their diet of potatoes, more pota

~ In one box came a small pack
‘age containing a mysterious pow
dery substance. There were no
directions on the package on how
to cook it, and the Hausfrau was
stumped.
“How shall I prepare it?” she
asked. The family went into a
huddle over the problem. It was an
exciting problem—anything hav
ing to do with food is exciting in
Germany. :
Each member in turn examined
the package.
“Perhaps,” said the Hausfrau
doubtfully, “I should wait until I
can write back and find out how
it should be used.”
This proposal was voted down
immediately as a waste of time.
