Pu A 4 | Murdered Word BY JOSEPH LISTER RUTLEDGE Those persons and groups who put such emphasis on peace that they are ready to joi hands with any agency, however dubious, which gives lip service to the word, might well be shaken by the recent "World Festival of Youth and Stu- dents for Peace." \ If the real demand is peace, it had a curious manifestation in the frenzied enthusiasm with which the 100,000 Red youth of all na- tions, gathered in Soviet Berlin, greeted any reference to the defeat of the West. It is assumed that in the two weeks of the festival two! million representatives of youth will participate and, give their as- sent to the concept that peace and Russian military might are re- lated ideas. When one sees this movement to distort the thinking of the young, to defraud them with suggestions of peace that is not peace but only an attempt to undermine old loyal- ties; when one sees the frenzy of hatred and contempt that is being built up against the Western pow- ers, and particularly Britain and the United States -- aN in the name of peace -- one is appalled by the implications. Also, with the most charitable intentions, it is still difficult to understand how people in our own land, seeing this whirlwind brewing and realizing that their best efforts have been devoted to arousing it, can be other than dismayed at what they have attempted to do. They must know that peace has never yet blossomed out of such an edifice of hate and distrust. How is it possible that they snould not realize that in falling such easy victims to the Moscow line they have helped to make possible or- ganizations which, in the name of peace, spread hate and fear and de- ception about the world, How long can they confuse themselves with the mere sound of a word which in their mouths and those of their leaders has lost every vestige of meaning, "Peace" is no longer a word of world-wide hope, it is a symbol of deceitful manoeuvering which has robbed it of its import. One wonders what is the. spiritual penalty for murdering a word? HISTORIC STEAMER The first steamship in commer- cial trading was the comet, built on the Clyde at Glasgow id 1812.

Ack Guns Are on Alert In Germany By JACK HENRY i Frankfurt, Germany (Reuters) -- A number of United States anti- aircraft gun crews in West Ger- many are being put on a 24-hour alert basis to show that the Ameri- cans do not intend to be caught napping by a possible Soviet "Pearl Harbor" blow, military sources here reveal. More and more anti-aircraft artillery is being deployed at major U.S. army supply installations and troop, concentration areas to in- crease American readiness. Army sources say there are no indications of a surprise Soviet at- tack at the moment. However, Seventh Army commander Lt. Gen. Manton Eddy was taking all possible precautions against even the outside possibility of a mass air blow which could cripple his forces. The strengthening of anti- aircraft defenses was an obvious and logical development. | Gen. Eddy has indicated in a | series of recent statements that the | American forces, with their build- up now well under way, are enter- ing a critical period. The Seventh Army commander told men of the newly-arrived 2nd Armored division that they "must pe ready to fight at a moment's notice because the next few months are going to be critical." Arrival in Germany of the U.S. 4th Infantry and 2nd Armored com- bat divisions was preceded by a considerable buildup in United States anti-aircraft strength. Anti-aircraft crews have been undergoing rigorous training at Putlos, on the Baltic, where the United States army shares an artil- lery sea range 'with the British army. One of the factors troubling Gen. Eddy is the knowledge that the Russians, through several years of extensive . communist espionage, have pin-pointed- virtually every American installation in Germany. Recent spy trials have disclosed that communist agents passed on maps and diagrams of major sup- ply depots and detailed infor- mation concerning the equipment stored at each. As American com- manders, have been warned, this data would permit the Russians to pick targets for a surprise air strike with a high degree of effi- ciency. Gen.

The first big project in a long- range program to curb and use the bordef-stream waters in the Falcon Cam, 75 miles downstream from Laredo and 110 from the Gulf of Mexico. This $48 million barrier is now half complete. Other dams, backing up huge reservoirs behind them, will be built upstream. The five-mile-long Falcon Dam will be the largest in the western hemisphere to be built by inter- national treaty. It will be longer than any dam in the United States. Division of costs was determined on the basis of what percentages of Rio Grande flow comes from tributaries on each side of the border. The U.S. is paying 58.6 per cent of the cost, Mexico 41.4 per cent. Irrigation water, essential to the lush citrus orchards and year round vegetable fields of the lower Rio Grande. valley, will be measured out on the same percentage basis. There will be a power plant on each side of the Falcon Dam. One will serve the U.S., the other Mex- ico. The dam will irrigate almost a million acres in an area where irrigation already has created a wealthy orange, grapefruit, cotton and table vegetable industry. Hold- ing 3,300,000 acre-feet of water, it will control flood waters which have periodically destroved river bottom farmlands. ' .e floods are often reflected in rising prices at your grocery store within a few days. It will create an 80,000-acre lake, 50 miles long -- a hunter's and angler's mecca. Falcon is cheduled for completion in 1953. Already men and machines, ahead of schedule, have: 1. Completed two miles of earthen dam on the U.S. side. 2. Passed the halfway mark to- ward completing the three-mile earthen fill for the Mexican side. (Three miles of the dam face will be in Mexico, two in the U.S. The dam is unusually long because: hills against which it must be but- tressed are a long way from the river bed.) 3. Built a huge concrete plant to mix the materials for the struc- tures to house two giant generators. 4. Warned thousands of residents on both sides of the river that they must leave their homes, The 80,000- acre reservoir will put countless farms, and at least four towns, under. water. Some of those who must move are pioneer families whose ancest- ors settled there three, four and five generations ago--eight or nine generations of the Mexican side. It is hard for them. Much of the time hardly bigger than a good-sized creek, the Rio Grande is nevertheless one of the longest rivers in the world--1800 miles. Almost from its origin in Colorado, its waters are used over and over again for irrigation. But there is a disheartening fluctuation. During periods of heavy irrigation upstream and little rain- fall, lower valley irrigators find the stream almost dry. Then come heavy rains, more than the stream or its smaller present reservoirs can handle. Thousands of acre-feet of water then flow unused into the gulf or smash across farmlands. The Falcon is one of three 'dams on the Rio Grande planned in the 1945 water treaty between the U.S. and Mexico. Surveys have been made for the second dam project, far upstream in the Texas Big Bend country. It" would impound 5,200,000 acre- feet of water, much more than Falcon. A middle dam--someplace between the Big Bend and Falcon --is to be built later. the possibility of a paralyzing So- viet air assault has led to a shift in mass troop training from Gra- fenwohr, in Bavaria, to Camp Baumholder, several hundred miles further west. The general has ordered fre- quent alerts through all echelons of his command. Once the warning is flashed, officer and men follow through a simulated combat situ- ation so realistic that few know, in the opening phases, whether it is merely drill or the real thing. a standing, round-the-clock basis -| is the most drastic step the general has ordered, however. It reflects a warning which Gen- eral Eddy gave to major United States troop commanders at the close of the American force's last large-scale maneuvers: "We must expect initial air superiority by our potential enemy. We need more training in anti-aircraft defense and against airborne troops." The Seventh Army has also tried to plug holes in its air raid de- fences by building more air warn- ing radar stations in the American and French Zones. Radar crews have been shaken up and the United States net is closely meshed with the British in their zone of Germany. With the French unable to provide sufficient electronic 'equipment 'to protect their zone, the United States quiet- ly took over responsibility for the entire French zone more than a year ago. nates without reluciling, seb '4 FISHING COUNTRY ¥résn salmon form a big export Placing his anti-aircraft crews on| Slowdown Starts Early Scientist Team Learns BY MICHAEL NEWMARCH London (AP) -- If youre past your middle 20s, you've probably started to go into a slow decline, both physically and mentally. So at least, sa psychologist A. T. Welford. But, he adds, even so, your work may be better than when you were younger, especially if accuracy is more important than speed. Welford and a team of eight other scientists are tackling the job of saving Britain's oldsters from the industrial scrap-heap. They started their research in 1948, and every year it grows more important (-- because the average of this country has been steadily mounting. The Nuffield Foundation, a char- itable organization devoted to the care and comfort of old people, sponsored Welford's research pro- ject to determine with scientific precision just how growing old af- fects a worker's skill. Welford and his assistants de- signed special apparatus to test the muscular and mental prowess of hundreds of Britons of all age groups in laboratories attached to Cambridge University. Most of the preliminary results, published by Welford as a treatise called "Skill ard Age" consist of series of graphs showing how age modifies efficiency at tasks rang- ing from the judging the position of a moving pointer to hurling an object at a target. Much of the data they disclose only concerns a factory owner with a special kind of job he wants done. Some is more general. Doctors have already established, says Welford, that the human body, regarded merely as a physical mechanism, undergoes a "process of gradual deterioration" from young adult- hood onwards. But the graphs indicate that the central mechanism of the brain also starts falling down on the job early in life -- before the 30s in most cases, What happens, Welford says, is that the central mechanism of the brain finds it harder and harder as it grows older to sort out ine coming "messages" from the nerves and senses and "organize" them so that action can be taken. It is only novel "messages" -- those dealing with some fresh situation -- that the aging brain balks at, he says, and there is no falling off in efe ficiency when dealing with famile iar problems. theres MORE HEAT PER DOLLAR in SOLID FUEL!
