Nan's Inability
To Control Sell
Cited by Seaton
Terre Haute, Ind. - (UFD - In
terior Secretary Fred A. Sea
ton says that man's inability
to control himself is the "one
great hurdle" remaining for
hi total fulfillment on this
earth.
Seaton spoke at the annual
commencement at Rose Poly
technic Institute, an engineer
ing school, and received an
honorary degree.
; "Man has made great prog
ress despite all the doubters
and derogators," Seaton said.
'The truth is that the world
today, hazardous and imper
fect though it may be, is much
better world than ever be
fore. We have only to look
about us for convincing evi
ct en ce of that conclusion,
Whether we are considering
matters of the spirit, of cul
ture, or of a material kind.
Public Consciousness
"Today there exists the
highest degree ever of public
consciousness as to the value
of scientific and technological
endeavor. Nature's as yet un
discovered secrets are still so
many and so formidable as to
dwarf present human knowl
edge." Seaton cited as an example
Cf "the forward march of
science and technology" his
department's program to find
a good and cheap method of
converting salt water into
fresh. Dr. Ralph Morgen,
president of Rose Poly, is
chairman of a government
board working on the prob
lem. '
: Seaton said that "water In
ample supply would become
our No. 1 domestic problem
Inside of 20 years." He said in
1952 the cost of converting
alt water was above $4 per
thousand gallons and is ex
pected to be less than $1 when
conversion plant is in oper
ation at Freeport, Tex.
New Methods Developed
"We have good reason to
believe that . . . the cost of
conversion would be less than
BO cents," Seaton said. "En
tirely new methods, holding
promise of even lower con
version costs, are under de
velopment." Seaton urged the graduates
to work toward "an environ
ment of freedom for scientific
Inquiry and technological ad
vance." V "Always we must be on
guard against the centraliza
tion of education, in whatever
guise," he said, "lest those in
control have the opportunity
to turn out a nation of carbon
copies of themselves. The
death of Individualism could
lead only to intellectual stag
nation, if not to regimentation
and thus to the ultimate de
struction of our freedom."
Explosion of
Dynamite High
Over U.S. Planned
- Washington IDPB - Military
pace scientists plan to ex
plode a quarter-ton of dyna
mite in a balloon high over
the United States next spring,
It has been reported.
- The weekly publication
"Science Trends," said the
purpose of the blast will be to
find out what happens when
high explosives are set off in
the stratosphere.
. The publication said a 300
foot balloon will be used to
carry the big explosive pack
age some 25 to 30 miles above
the earth's surface. It said
the balloon probably will be
launched from the White
Sands Missile range in New
Mexico.
Project Banshee'
: The test, known as "Project
Banshee," is being planned by
Army, Air Force and Navy re
search teams under the direc
tion of the Defense Atomic
Support agency.
"Science Trends" said strict
safety measures will be taken
to prevent loss of the balloon
or an accidental explosion
over populated areas. Check
ing this closely will be the
Federal Aviation Agency,
Which polices the safety of the
nation's Irways.
' The 500 pounds of TNT will
be set off by an electrical
signal from the ground. Then
a' complex series of instru
ments will measure effects of
the blast In the rarified atmos
phere. Important Bearing
