JV mm- A fo) M UVUU JV u.The. Sews ! Br FBANK JENKINS HIS rather Interesting dispatch com Irom Los Angeles: The navy hu disclosed ntw ahlp-to-alr radar set-up that allows ahlp-borne radar to get around tin curvature-of-lhe-earth barrier." WHAT of It. you a.kf " Wall, radar, which am In (of nd darkness M wall aa In bright daylight, can't see around Ui curv ature of the aarth any mora than you can around tha curva of an appla. Your 11m of light ion In a atralght Una. aa does tha radar bam.

In tha caina way. presumably, thu Jigger the navy hat Just announced banda the radar beam, enebeng It to tee over the h onion. WHY 1 Uiat important? llrre la why: It enablea the powewor of the dvlMi to are an approarhlng enemy farther and OCT READY roR HIM QUICKER. JETS not kid ourselves. If we can do that, the Ruulans can prob ably do It. ThU la the dUUirblng point: The techniques of war and destruction ere advancing SO MUCH MORE RAPIDLY than tha techniques 01 peace and cooperation. "THIS one cornea from Salem: "A New York Republican con gressman la Representative Ralph W. Owlnm thinks SO per cant of the Drmoerala and 30 per oent of the Republlcana are Socialists." Aa proof of hla assertion, he cltea In a speech to Willamette valley credit men the record of congress on public housing which, he aays, U the "moat socialistic measure ever conceived." i What he means, I presume. Is that under public housing the gov ernment, which la everybody, builds houses for a FEW people to live In cheaply THINK he nilsaea the point. As I aee It, these Republicans and Democratic members of con grena who vote tor "socialistic" measures (Including lawa designed to vote everybody rich and pen-Ion everybody off. ao that NOBODY will have to work) DONT BELIEVE IN THE THINOS THEY ARE VOT INO for. a. They are shallow opportunists who x -think that" H la "vhae. the bulk of the people want and are ready to vote for ANYTHING that will keep them In office. The Democrat want to STAY IN POWER. The Republicans want to OCT INTO POWER. That's the root of the trouble. PERSONALLY I have far more re r spect for a SINCERE SOCIAL IST than for a demagogue who doesn't believe In socialism but la willing to vote for It In order to keep hla Job. If he la In power, or to get a Job If he Is out of power. HLSO (still speaking personally) I think these demagoguea are mis taken. I don't believe the bulk of our people WANT socialism, or any of Its trappings. Hie common, every day people I talk to don't believe you can vote yourself rich any more than you can lift yourself by your bootstraps. And most of them I talk to are aa aura aa I am Uiat after we've pensioned everybody off there won't be anybody left to do the work.
