WASHINGTON. Aug. Na
tional security demands prompt de
velopment of the Columbia river
basin. Secretary of the Army Oray
said Monday.
He told a house committee that
how It s doue through creation of
a Columbia valley administration or
some other way Is for congress to
decide. He said he did not believe
that creation of a CVA was the only
way the basin can be developed.
But for himself, he added, he felt
that the CVA was the best approach.
Under any circumstances, he went
on. -I urge that without delay and
for the interest of national security
this treat program to develop the
Pacific Northwest go forward."
Testifying before the public works
committee, which Is considering
bill to set up a CVA. Oray said the
army long has been seriously con
cerned with the need for full devel
opment of the rtver basin, and
added:
' -It is essential to national defense
4hat the hydroelectric potential of
the Columbia river and Its tribu
taries be fully realised and devel
oped as soon aa practicable. The
power of the Columbia a needed tor
aluminum prodaetlon and for
atomic production."
He said the growing industries of
-the Portland. Ore. region and of
other cities require effective flood
control and that the river's naviga
tion possibilities must be expanded.
Flyer Waits
Clearance For
Ocean Hop
" BANGOR. Me. Aug. I UP Mrs
. Richarda Morrow-Tait, 2-year-old
British flyer. Monday awaited us
' torn clearance to hop off on the
,last stages of a round-the-world
'flight begun last August.
She landed her single-engined
' trainer type plane at Dow air field
base here late Saturday after a flight
from Burlington. VL
Accompanying her was Navigator
, Michael Townsend. 26. former Bnt
',lsh Royal air force flyer.
The Cambridge, Eng.. woman flew
. to Burlington from Montreal. It
was her second attempt to enter the
United States. Last July II she
landed at the Vermont community
.'but was refused entry by Immigra
tion officials who said ber papers
w ere not in order.
The globe-girdling tour ran Into
- trouble In Alaska, where Mrs. Mor-
row-Talt crashed but escaped wltlr
' out serious injury. 8he obtained
another plane at Seattle.

fl-39 tankers into the B-M bombers.
They point out that tanker planes
can operate in the 200-300 mile an
hour range and that the high speed
Jets ran be throttled down to that
.speed without losing control or ap
proaching the stalling point.
The aerial refueling system used
bv the I'KAF now is based on the i
British method of attaching a flex
ible hose line from the tanker to
the receiving bomber, then letting It
flow by gravity.
However, there have been recent
reports that a new. faster and safer
method of mid-air refueling has
been perfected. i
The trade publication Aviation i
Week reports it has learned that !
Boeing Aircraft company, makers of !
the B-38S, B-50s and other combat- I
ant and cargo military planes, has ;
developed lu own refueling system.
As described by Aviation Week.
the method is this: A Boeing C-57
cargo plane Is equipped with tanks
to carry between 6500 and 7000 gal
lons of fuel.
Prom the tall of the C-7 a hollow
boom extends to carry the fuel. !
At the Up of the boom are airfoils '
similar to the controls surfaces of
an airplane. A man. riding In a
blister of the transport, guides the !
boom as the transport maneuvers 1

Hygrometer
Vorks Again
TOKYO. Aug. 1 l-Pi Thanks to
th three-year-old daughter of Mrs.
Frsnk Willis of Detroit, the Ml
usawa observatory has a delicate
blonde hair for lu hygrometer.
The hygrometer Is used to meas
ure moisture In the atmmhrre.
For extreme sensitivity a fine hair
Is used In the Instrument. For 1J
years the Mini hair has been used.
It was supplied by a French woman
Recently observatory officials de
cided a new hair wax needed ri.n.-e
all Japanese have black, coarse hair,
theirs was useless. So an appeal
was made for a blonde hair.
Mrs. Willis resd the sppeal In the
Detroit Times and sent several
blonde hairs from her little daugh
ter's head.
Observatory spokesmen said they
wont need any more blonde hairs
now for years and years.

Air above the fuel in ec-ery gasoline tank contains
moisture. When the tank cools off at night, this
moisture condenses into water. THIS WATER
CAUSES RUST AND CORROSION IN YOUR
GASOLINE TANK. FUEL LINES, FUEL PUMP
AND CARBURETOR.
What damage does rust do? 1. Rust ruins gas
oline tanks and other fuel system parts, causing
costly repairs and replacements ... 2. Rust clogs
fuel lines, screens and carburetor Jets, causing
rough idling, poor mileage and loss of power and
performance ... 3. Rust particles cause wear on
precision parts in fuel pump and carburetor, caus
ing frequent costly overhauls and replacements.
How does Richfield gasoline prevent rust?
It contains RD-119, which covers the inside of
your car's fuel system with an invisible, rust-proof
coating.
Save iyor car from rust damage! Fill up every
time with Richfield Ruit-Proof gasoline.
COSTS NO MORE
THAN ORDINARY GASOLINE
