Firemen Shouldn't Try To
Answer Each Other's Calls
LOS ANGELES (UP) Ap
peal to Los Angeles. Calif., and
Seattle, Wash, city Bremen:
Please fellows, don't try to an
swer each other's alarms.
This message, In more official
language, was given to firemen
after alarms put out via short
wave radio In each city were
heard in the other city "loud and
clear just as if they were com
ing from the home central office."
Fire department radios In both
cities operate on the same fre
quency and calls were heard in
the wrong cities due to freak at
mospheric conditions.
"We ran a test with Seattle,
just to see how clearly we were
receiving each other's calls," said
Capt. John W. Burnham of the
Los Angeles fire department. "We
were receiving them very
clearly.
The test was ordered after an
indignant battalion commander
here called the central control of
fice and demanded: ,
"Why wasn't my outfit sent out
on that candy factory fire on Com
monwealth Avenue? That's in my
aisinct."
"It isn't; it's in Seattle," he
was told.
"The danger,' one fire depart
ment spokesman said, "is that
both the Los Angeles end Seattle
fire departments might get on a
hot one at the same time and
then receive a fire call for a
street that both cities have."
But he explained that while that
possibility exists, the danger is
small sjnee a. special set of cir
cumstances must occur before a
Los Angeles or Seattle fire en
gine would tear off to fight a blaze
In the other city.
Reflecting layers of atmosphere
would have to occur at the right
altitude to bounce the radio waves
into the cities. This occurs two or
three times a year and might
last several days. Fire companies
would have to be out on a call,
which in Los Angeles is the only
time they receive fire calls via
radio they receive them only
by telephone or box signal while
in the station.
The fire location would have to
be on the streets of the same name
in both cities, and the false loca-
j tion in the same district as .that
of a fire company out of the sta
tion fighting a blaze or doing fire
prevention work at the time. Los
Angeles companies do fire preven
tion work two days a week.
But just in case the aforemen-
Young Scientists
In Short Supply
AUSTIN, Tex. (UP) There
will be an acute shortage of scien
tifically trained young men with
in a few years unless more high
school graduates can be induced
to seek scientific training in col
lege, a National , Research Coun
cil committee chairman says.
The chairman, Dr. H. J. Ettlin-
ger of the department of mathe
matics of the University of Texas
and head of the NRCs division
of mathematics, has been touring
Texas high schools seeking pros
pective students.
Ettlinger launched his "grass
roots" campaign after deciding
the shortage of such students
would be harmful in many ways.
Not only will there not be enough
scientifically trained men for . in
dustry and military needs, he
said, but there will not be enough
of them to provide teachers for
following groups of students.
Ettlinger recently attended n
international mathematics confer
ence in the Netherlands and said
he learned that shortage was not
peculiar to the United States.

Future of Arab League
Regarded As Jeopardized
CAIRO (UP) The chief , launched a full - scale press and
question iii tie Middle East today! radio campaign against the pact
and its supporters.
Saudi Arabia Agreen
This offensive has been spear
headed by Major Salah Salem, the
Egyptian minister of national
guidance, who has written two
lengthy articles in the official or
gan, Al Gomhouria. Major Salem
has not minced his language, and
Syrian Prime Minister Fares El
Khoury has been singled out for
bitter criticism because of what
Salem described as a "fluid
attitude.
The question now is what Is go
ing to happen next. On Feb. 6, the
day the conference broke up.
Egyptian Prime Minister Gamal
Abdel Nasser, said that Egypt
would pull out of the Arab
League's security pact on the day
that Iraq signed its pact with
Turkey.
Saudi Arabia's premier. Crown
Prince Feisal, said his country
would follow Egypt's example.
"We are in full agreement with
Egypt regarding foreign policy,"
he added.
There have also been thinly
veiled hints that Egypt may leave
the Arab League altogether unless
Iraq abandons her projected ties
with her northern neighbor, buti
official sources deny this.
Powerless Position
It appears most unlikely that
Iraq will alter her policy as thei
Iraqui parliament, recently gave
Premier Nuri El Said a unanimous
vote of confidence.
The result is a stalemate, but
Egypt's objective is to make the
other Arab states change their
policy.

after the protracted Cairo meet

differed regarding Iraq s decision
to make a defensive pact with
Turkey.
This meeting lasted for a fort
night but no agreement could be
reached and no communique was
issued. i
What it comes to is that the
eight states represented at the
meeting held widely divergent
views about the Iraqui - Turkish

Money Located
On Two Suspects
PORTLAND (UP) Police ar
rested two youths Wednesday after
Interrupting their attempts to
prowl a hardware store and found
them in possession of more than
$3000 in negotiable money orders.
The youths were identified as
Paul Erickson, about 20, and Le
Roy S. Manning, 18, both tran-
Cairo as a sign of revolt by the
Syrian people against Premier El-I
Khoury's foreign policy. At the
time of writing it would appear
that the resignation was chiefly
due to internal reasons and had
nothing to do ivith Syria's lati
tude to the Iraq-Turkish pact.
Under all these circumstances,
political personalities may under
take missions to the various Mid
dle East capitals with the object
of personally ramming home their
point of view.
To sum up it has become clear
that the Arab League is in a pow
erless position, and it will be a
miracle if it survives.
But miracles do occur In the
Middle East.
