He adds: . "Even If the political control of the Congress does not change, further scandals will be revealed, However, if the Republicans ob tain control of cither the house pr the senate, or both, even the famous Teapot Dome scandal 1I1 have about the same relative rating in comparison to future revelations as a firecracker would to an atomic bomb. ' "It Is riithorbij (In Washing ton) that -the strange wartime transactions in ships and ship ping, when exposed to public gaze, will shake this capital to Its ery foundations and this Is but One of many. . . L' ETS get this situation straight. IF It develops that the award ing of war contracts has been honeycombed with scandal, this will be the basic and underlying reason: ! Against the wise counsel of the founding fathers, we have placed TOO MUCH POWER in TOO FEW HANDS with TOO Little restraint. ; That Is ALWAYS a corrupting influence. WHILE we're moralizing about politics, let's take a sharp look at Congressman Coffee's plaintive explanation that the $2500 he got from a contractor was only a "campaign contribu tion." Ho seems to think that takes the curse completely off, and leaves the transaction wholly Innocent. This writer Is so naive as not to hlnk so. ' Why arc big campaign contri butions made to candidates, any way? There are doubtless occa sional exceptions, but in general people give money to candidates, to help them get elected, be cause they want to be in a post tion to ask favors from them later. ; That Is the buld truth, and we might as well face It. SCIENCE AT BIKINI THIS writer Is even so faf gone I as to believe that ALL cam paign contributions should be forbidden and the ban enforced to the full extent of sending vlo lators to jail: - The stock argument against that- theory has been - that It would FAVOR RICH MEN. Not necessarily. Intelligent voters are always suspicious of anyone who seems to be -spending too much money to get elected to office. . They SHOULD BE. The man who spends too much money to get elected Isn't apt to be the Kind of official we want and need. IF all campaign expenditures Including those CONTEM PLATED, as well as those made had to be reported and pub lished well ahead of election and If the candidate who spent too much were AUTOMATICALLY BARRED FROM OFFICE, the too-rich candidate would have no great advantage. ALL thlsi of course, Is Idealistic In the extreme. From the standpoint of professional poli tics, It is the rankest kind of heresy; But It might help In get- 4i ArorJr-B-rJlr HuV&ttitA''nrf1v By CHARLES V. STANTON Millions of words have been written concerning Operations Crossroads, the Bikini tests of the atomic; bomb. Our atten tion has been focused tipoh he bomb itself and its capabili ties for destruction; -while, passing unnoticed, are numerous other scientific inventions, discoveries and developments which may, perhaps, have far greater influence upon our lives during the next few years than atomic fission. Consider, for instance, the drone planes used in the Bikini tests. -Loaded with sensitive instruments, these planes, pi loted by means of remote control devices aboard carriers and mother planes, fly back and forth through the radio active dust cloud arising from bomb explosions, picking lip scientific data. Is it too fantastic to envision in trie near future a steady stream of drone planes, controlled from ground stations, flying- across continents with loads of merchandise? No pilots wouid be needed. The ships could fly through calm or storm without risk of life. Radar would supply the controlling ground crews constant information on the position and con dition of their flying freight cars. In each of the drone planes used at Bikini, delicate instru ments, through application of television, flash back to screens in a battleship miles away the scenes in and about the plane. Seated before the control board, observers can see the plane's instrument panel, the interior of the bomb cloud, the pattern below the drone ship, and all objectives in the vicinity of the plahe as easily as if seated in the cockpit. Many of these instrument, developed for the atomic bomb tests, will be perfected into devices to provide safer flying for passenger planes 6f future years. Each drone plane is equipped with a special type of bag which can be opened and closed at the will of an operator sitting safely outside the danger zone. As the plane flies through the column arising from the explosion, it gathers radioactive particles at various elevations. Scientific analy sis of these particles may lead to discoveries concerning by products of atoinjc fission posHibly uncovering some ele ment of particular importance to health or greater - pro duction. From the year 490 B.C.,' when runners brought news of the Battle of Marathon, where the Greeks defeated the Per sians, until 1845, when the first telegraph line was con structed between Washington and Baltimore, there was little, change in the-speed of communications. ' Yet when atomic bombs were dropped at Bikini, radio listeners heard the explosion before the sound reached observing naval ves sels only a few miles from the scene. Such has been the tre mendous advance in the science of communications within one century of modern civilization. Now we are linking television to our communications system, opening up a vast field for electronic transmission of photographs, documents, biisincss correspondence, in addition to news and entertain-, mcnt. We have on our desk a letter froltt a News-Review sub scriber, Ed Jordan, who writes at length a detailed descrip tion of jet propulsion. Too lengthy and technical for pub lication, it ventures the prediction that jet power will "sup plant every reciprocating type of engine in service today" a prediction which is not at all improbable of fulfillment when we consider the fast pace at which science and engi neering are moving. Will jet power, in turn, yield to atomic energy? What then will be the next step? Our tests of the atomic bomb are of a weapon of destruc tion, but while we are perfecting the world's most terrible nstrument of warfare, science is studying to apply its new found energy for man's benefit. It is a peculiar thing that war, much as we may detest it, has bi-oilght about the greatest developments in science, medicine, surgery, invention, engineering, etc. Man's profits from war have always been greater than his losses. Progress made in medical and surgical science during the last war will save within the next decade far more lives than were lost in combat. In use in the Bikini laboratory are new instruments and inventions which will contribute greatly to man's welfare and happiness in the years to come.

Oakland's little Acorns, once mighty Oaks leading the Pacific Coast Baseball League, will wind Up tneir current series with the San Francisco Seals as a second place ball club no matter how many of the remaining four pames they take. The leading Seals' 4-1 victory over the Acorns last night, their third straight, pave them a four game lead over Oakland and the safest position attained all sea son in the heated flag race. If the Acorns should sweep the remaining four games, which would mean taking the measure of league pitching ace Jansen and possibly second-ranker Melton, they would still be a few percent age points behind the pace-setters. First Baseman Fain sank the Oakland hopes last night In the opening with a two-run homer behind the Seals' Initial marker on Uhalt's double and Jennings' ' single.
