Hosanna fo the son of David, Blessed is He that cometh in the name
of the Lord.—Mat. 21:9. But when the politicians found that Christ was
not willing to head a revolution to establish a material kingdom they
cried out CRUCIFY HIM!
Stevenson Attitude
A DLAI STEVENSON stirred no surprise when he took him-
self out of the 1960 presidential race. The real guesswork
concerns how and where he will throw his weight in the
Democratic party.
Hs clearly intends to exert influence on the party’s course,
even though his role as a candidate has ended.
For example, he accepted membership on the new Dem-
ocratic advisory committee set up by the national committee
to frame new legislative proposals for Democrats in congress.
Stevenson generally is viewed as a moderate, but some
evidence exists that Ihe advisory group may be steered by its
liberal sponsors into more or less open combat with moderates
and southern conservatives in the party. The question arises:
If this happens will Stevenson go along and thus east his
weight with the Democratic liberals?
THIE new committee may prove the factor that precipitates a
A struggle for party control. Democratic congressional lead-
ers, Senator Lyndon Johnson and Speaker Sam Rayburn, both
moderates, are showing signs of combating this group.
They think only congressional Democrats should try to
shape a party program for congress. They don’t want “out
siders” telling them what to do, particularly on delicate issues.
But it ought to be plain that whether or not the advisory
committee existed the struggle for power within the Demo-
cratic fold would occur, it is inevitable.
gTEVENSON’S presumed value during his two presidential
^ candidacies and in the four-year interval between was
that he stood between the conservatives and the liberals and
thus was a force for party uity.
But in the view of party liberals his smashing defeat
an dparticularlv his personal reverses in southern states and
certain northern cities with large Negro populations has “dis-
credited” the moderate approach. They want a stiffer course
of action and a generally more liberal attitude.
When the chips are down and deep party wounds seem
the price of such a course, Stevenson may speak again for
moderation and thereby hearten moderate party men now
under assault. If on the other hand he commits his support
to the liberal cause, the Democratic party may face a fight
such as it* has not seen for decades.
An Indiana man said he got drunk because his wife talked
too much. That sounds like a plug for liquor sales.
JNFORMATION please.
What shall I do with a large

I heard or read a most harrow-
ing piece of information about
the willingness of the Russians
for Hungarians to leave Hungary.
Said passes were being issued to
all over 65 and under ten. Re-
ducing the population in this
manner would make it easier to
overcome the remaining cream
of the crop who are fit to be-
come Soviet slaves. Further it
puts a terrific load on the econ-
omy of the countries accepting
the refugees, making these small
nations easy prey for the Soviet
when the Big Bear can get
around to them.

obscure to Final, but Roup's ap-
pearance at Skillet headquarters
had been an obviously intended
prelude to the beginning of the end.
Hindsight told Jim they'd slipped
up badly with Roup. They should
have hung onto him He might have
unlocked a few things, properly
handled.
Final turned the dun around. He
did not want any more encounters
with Quail hut he certainly had to
arm himself and there was no place
nearer than Skillet.
That shotgun he'd seen Rocka-
bye hide in the barn the day before
Strunk’s outfit had caught Jim with
those steers was hardly likely to
be there now, but he would try the
barn first: then, if he had to. he
would go to the house. Quail's blunt
talk about revenge still rankled
and, though she had not altered his
intentions, he felt a natural guilt
about the way he had treated her.
No matter that he'd done it for
Quail's own good. His behavior was
inexcusable.
Thinking of her father brought
Joe Boh back into Jim’s mind and
the governor’s pretended obligation
to friendship which from the first
had rung as phony as a lead two-
hit piece. Strip the deal of friend-
ship and what did you have? A
greedy, grasping politician turning
loose and arming a convicted rus-
tler with orders to stop the man
who had put him into Yuma in the
first place.
* * *
JIM shook his head. About the
only plausible likelihood he could
sort out of this was that the gover-
nor was backing not a friend but
an investment which the gambler's
machinations had suddenly placed
in jeopardy.
Jim got to wondering now, turn-
ing over the remembered facets,
and out of these suspicions a rath-
er startling possibility began slow-
ly to take shape. Bentain, despite
his bluster, was a thoroughly fright
cned man. And what was Strunk
doing beyond stealing range? In-
citing the Indians. But this was
full of fillies.”
Both of them knew he wasn't
talking about Quail. Beyond a thin-
ning of the lines about his mouth
Strunk let this slide. “Give you
a chance," he mentioned, "to pass
that good news to Rockabye.”

/kUR oceans have shrunk might-
ily as bulwarks against in-
vasion, hut they’re better pro-
tection than a barbed wire fence,
that’s for sure. This nation is
not sufficiently aroused to the
possibilities of the brush fires
burning merrily in Europe and
Asia. Those familiar with prairie
or forest fires will tell you it is
far better to jump on the-first
sign of fire with all the water
available and not try to save it
for the time when the fire real-
ly gets going.
Makes me think of a sage ut-
terance at a fire on the Staig
place in Texas. A neighbor with
a fairly new car he hadn’t had
up to 40 mph came barreling
through the gate floorboarding
the accelerator. Some one said
"Kinda had 'er wdie open, didn’t

did, them fires can get mean

put out these fires where they
are currently located. It isn't

WASHINGTON - (NEA) - The
airforce's atomic plane proj-
ect may have been shot down or
seriously damaged by the recent
record long-d i s t a n c e, non-stop
flights of those B-52 bombers. The
result could be a five to 10-year
delay in the A-plane project.
At the present statge of develop-
ment of the A-planes the big ad-
vantage which nuclear power of-
fers is long range. Atomic power
itself will not produce a great in-
crease of sped over the present
capability of conventional planes.
However, the question which is
bothering the Pentagon experts is
whether the cost of buying range
by atomic power is worth it, in
view of other aircraft develop-
ments.
The B-52s made non-stop flights
in the neighborhood of 16,000 miles,
and that's plenty for the prime pur-
pose of their existence, which is
the bombing of Russian cities in
case of World War III. This range
was accomplished by refueling.
And refueling is a lot easier and
cheaper than powering a plane
with an atomic reactor.
tal chemically-p o w e r e d planes
have already flown.
Military planners must be prac-
tical and concentrate on taking one
step at a time in improving weap-
ons. And at this point it is begin-
ning to look to them as though exo-
tic fuels are the next logical step
in aircraft propulsion.
IN ADDITION, 16,000-milc flight
is close to the physical limits of
the crew. When the B-52s landed
the crews were in fairly good
shape but were approaching the
point where dangerous fatigue sets
in.
NEEDLESS TO SAY, this appar-
ent shifting of interest from the
atomic plane to the chemical plane
has caused a major rhubarb in the
Pentagon. Hundreds of millions of
dollars worth of development costs
are involved. Persons and firms
which have already invested years
of work on one or another of the
projects are naturally upset to see
a loss of interest in their effort.
Those persons working on the
A-plane insist that only money is
necessary to put it in the air with-
in a few years and denounce the
cuts in funds for it. Other reports
claim that technical bottlenecks
have developed and that a scienti-
fic breakthrough has to be made
before additional funds can be
spent properly.

If
is 23 years old and
has appeared in five Japanese
films, he figured it was time he
tried his hand in a Hollywood pro-
duction. He’s doing it now at Uni-
versal - International where three
of his many talents are being util-
ized simultaneously.
McKuen is a young man in a
very pleasant quandary. He does
so many things well that he has
trouble sometimes deciding which
talent to emphasize. His works as
an author, poet and songwriter
have been published. As a folk
singer, he has toured the United
States and parts of Asia.
In the U-l production, “Rock,
Pretty Baby,” he calls on three of
his talents. He acts, he sings and
he composes — in fact, the two
songs he sings were written by
him. They are "Happy Is a Boy
Named Me” and "Picnic by the
Sea,” on which he collaborated
with Bobby Troup.
The Slug
McKuen’s history indicates that
much may be expected of him. At
the age of 16 he got his profession-
al break when he joined the San
Francisco Young Players. He won
the London Critics Award for his
portrayal of Romeo. The next
thing he knew he appeared in sev-
eral dramatic shows, had a radio
show and turned out a newspaper
column.
The Army gave McKuen’s ca-
reer a huge boost. As a member of
its Special Services section he
made a folk singing tour of Ja-
pan and Korea. He became a writ-
er-producer for the United Na-
tions Command Voice. And, while
all this was going on, he also found
lime to knock out his first book,
“And Autumn Came,” and handle
important roles in five Japanese
films.
McKuen returned to civilian
clothes and San Francisco, where
he had night club engagements as
a singer until hu was invited to
come here on a recording con-
tract.
There’s only one thing that
bothers McKuen. He apparently
looks somewhat like the late James
Dean, the promising young actor
who died in a car crash. Once a
woman slugged him after yelling,
"Don’t look so much like Jimmy
Dean!”
“Funny thing,” McKuen said,
"but it happened so fast I never
did get a look at her. Oh, well.”
Another price the airforce will
have to pay for the range of atom-
ic planes is a whole new set of air
bases, or at least a costly remod-
eling of some present bases to han-
dle the special needs of a A-plane.
The recent discovery that a
chemically-powered aircraft holds
great promise is another develop-
ment which minimizes the need
for an atomic plane. The chemi-
cals under study are called “exo-
tic” fuels.. A whole family of them
which is now under development
could give conventional planes up
to 50i percent better all-around per-
formance.
Secrecy surrounding the exotic
fuels developments, plus their
complexity, prohibit a detailed ex-
planation. But they are in part a
by-product of guided-missile re-
search. Some of the fuels are liq-
uid metal. Dozens of differen for-
mulas are being examined.
FUNDAMENTALLY, the exotic
fuels hold promise of giving air-
craft more speed and greater
range, compared to a comparable
load of gasoline or jet fuel.
Plenty of problems such as pro-
duction have to be worked out be-
fore exotic fuels can be regarded
as ready for operational use. But
as of now progress being made
with them is greater than progress
with the atomic plane. Expcrimen-

long to the outside corner of a barn
that is 25 feet square, over what
area can the dog roam?
ANSWER
2159.85 square feet. He can roam
over 3/4 of a large circle with a
30-foot radius and over two small
quarter-circles with a five-foot ra-
dius each. . Multiply the square of
30 by 3.1416 (pi) by 3/4. Multiply
the square of 5 by 3.1416 by 1/2;
add the two areas.
