The Seaforth News, 1961-11-09, Page 3Nowhere To Ron To ESVEg Ma Fallout A few days ago a gro"p of Americans set out on a lung journey, from. Long Island, If.Y., to the other end of the contin- eat, seeking promise in a new land, much in the way that the old pioneers trekked across the plains, , , , There were some differences In this new migration, however. It involved about 30 people, many of them artists . who had been working together in an art center near the middle of bong Island, They were bound for Chico, Calif. (and still are as far as we know), They were Dot seek- ing gold or even land, but safety from atomic fallout. They figured that Long Island was a very unsafe plane, filled with airplane and other defense industry factories, and far too close to New York City for vitt- fort, So a committee was formed. It investigated and discovered from Washington sources that three areas in the United States were considered to be extremely safe from fallout problems: northern California,• s o u t h e t n Oregon, and ,an area in Montana. committee comittee recommended and the group chose Chico as their new home. Bag and bag- gage they departed, selling their cumbersome possessions, to try their luck in the unknown, Then, after the travelers had severed their ties, and had be- gun their trek, an enterpriving reporter did a little checking on their decision. lie discovered that the De- fense Department is about to build a new missile base just out- side Chico, that a .Strategic Air Command base is quite nearby, In other words, as the reporter noted, Chico, quite possibly, is a more likely target for destruc- tion than many other places in case of all-out war.

If Ike Had Only Keit Pushing East Following protests by Republi- cans, theU,S. State Department has rewritten its published ver- sion of why the armed forces of the Western alliance did not reach the city of Berlin in the final military phase of World ' War IL The original version read: "The Western armies could have captured Berlin, or at least joined in capturing it...." • The revised version, after the protests, reads: "For sound military reasons the Western armies in the final phase of the war had not ad- vanced on Berlin, the occupation status of which had already been agreed, but had concentrated on the primary task of destroying the main German forces. ,'.." Every great war seems to leave a controversy which is fought over by the old soldiers and then the historians, seldom to any final conclusion. The question of why General .Eisen- hower did not send his Western armies into Berlin is such a question. This controversy is particu- larly. lively right now because of the Berlin crisis. Many believe that had General Eisenhower sent his troops into Berlin, West- ern bargaining power over rights of access would have been much strengthened; rights would have been spelled out in more detail; and the West would not be vul- nerable now to Soviet challenge, It is a fact that the Soviets got there first and that the West- ern armies entered much later — by consent of the Soviets, which was slowly and reluctantly given. That Western armies could have reached Berlin first is not seriously challenged. Advance patrols of the Western armies were well beyond the Elbe and had' penetrated into the western suburbs of Berlin itself when they were recalled on General Eisenhower's orders, and his armies took up their position on the Elbe. At that time the Soviet armies had not yet crossed the Oder. Nor is it in question that the order recalling the patrols and placing the American front on the Elbe was issued by General Eisenhower. What is in question is whether his decision was justi- fied by conditions prevailing at the time. This reporter was one of a group which. was- received ' by General Eisenhower in his head- quarters at Rheims on the day after the order to halt on the Elbe was made public, writes Jo- seph C. Busch in the Christian Science Monitor. Obviously, we asked him why he had issued the order. His rea- ARTILLERY PEACE— Sheron Runcorn, six months old, prepares to take a short nap on some big guns in Lon- don. Rest is often where one finds it, sons, as nearly as I can recall in the order in which he gave them and roughly in his own words, were as follows: 1. Berlin is only a 'political, not a military, objective. 2. The Elbe is established by existing agreements as the fu- ture boundary between Western and Soviet zones of occupation. If I push my supply lines beyond - the Elbe, I'll only have to pull them back later, and this will mean wasted effort and money. 3, The war is nearly over, so why waste soldiers' lives in tak- ing a political objective. 4. I have long worried about how we would meet the Rus- sians. The idea of meeting them around- a corner in some city, both sides on the run, seems risky. I would rather meet them with a nice broad river across my front 5. There are still 'some unde- feated German forces in Austria in the "redoubt." The emphasis was put on the proposition that Berlin was only a political objective, This view was repeated in General Eisen- hower's book "Crusade in Eur- ope." General Bradley, in his "Soldier's Story" confirmed it, adding that the American high command at the time w a s "naive" in its resistance to urg- ent British pleas for a maximum possible advance eastward. Churchill urged resumption of the eastward advance in strongest possible terms, and- Marshal Montgomery was allowed to push along the Baltic coast, but General Eisenhower turned the American advance , southward toward the "redoubt." At the time of the decision to stand on the Elbe there were several SS divisions in an area in Austria which had been prepared to some FEDS CANCEL THEIR BUSINESS — This see -hear -speak -no -evil scene takes place in Philo - de phis, police headquarters after Secret Service men charged this trio with trying to peddle a million postage stamps.

But in the end nothing ever came of the "last stand." The "redoubt" sur- rendered in the general surren- der, and the Soviets took Berlin, The issue comes down to w.'ether the military reasons for the turn away from Berlin, .d.:ntally also away from Prague, were in fact sound. They were indeed military, and only military. Every political consid- eration called for the farthest possible advance eastward, Those reasons were brushed aside as being "political" and hence by inference unworthy. Certainly theloss of Czech- oslovakia to communism descends from the decision to giye military reasons priority over political reasons. Probably the Western case in Berlin is weaker than it need have been from the same decision, The record does raise e question whether the State Department's rewrite of history is sound history. If the decision sprang from military reasons, one must con- clude that the military reasons are grossly exaggerated, The whole weight of the American armies in Germany at that time was definitely not needed to crush out the last resistance in the German armies, Searching For The Se rets of Sleep The peculiar chemistry of sleep is something which still baffles scientists. But a new investiga- tion, launched by Dr. Chester Pierce and his assistants at Oklahoma University Medical Centre is trying to track down some of its age-old secrets, espe- cially those concerning the effect of dreams. Bad or anxious dreams, the kind which produce nightmares and cold sweats, have been sus- pected of promoting heart attacks or brainstorms. Such effects may arise because ugly dreams, by generating ex- citement, increase the amount of fatty material, called cholesterol, circulating in the blood. This material, says scientists, clogs the arteries, and may lead to thrombosis: For his investigations, Dr. Pierce has persuaded a student to act as "guinea pig." The stu- dent sleeps in. the hospital labor- atory with a tube attached to a vein in his arm and a small bat- tery of electrodes fixed round his head. The electrodes record his brain - waves and eyeball movements. By watching this graph the in- vestigator can tell at once when the student is dreaming. At favourable moments he takes samples of the student's blood. When he has obtained the vital blood sample, the investigator can waken the student, who can then give accurate details about his dream. Dr. Pierce also hopes to dis- cover exactly how sleep refreshes human beings. It may be, he says, that in twenty years' time the average man's eight hours a day will be quite unnecessary. One or two hours may be suffi- cent, depending on its intensity. Famous Volcano Due To Erupt Soon it was forecast by a seismol- ogist recently that one of the most active volcanoes in the world, Kilauea, might blow its top again in a major eruption to- wards the end of this year. The volcano — altitude 4,400 feet—is on the island of Hawaii, in the Pacific Ocean, and has a lake of fiery lava almost two miles wide. It is always smoking or flam- ing, sometimes overflowing into old tracks, but seldom dangerous. In 1840, in one of its worst eruptions, a river of fire five miles broad and 200ft. in depth, burst from it and poured down the mountainside. Two years ago, white-hot lava gushed like water from it and there was great damage to the town of Kapoho, About 150 mils -- lion cubic yards of lava smother- ed more than 1,000 acres of valu- able land. In 1933 there was a sudden revival of volcano worship in Hawaii with its ritualistic sacri- fice of maidens in the crater. At least three girls, it was re- ported offered themselves as sacrifices to "appease" the vol- cano. Some time later American eye -witnesses saw two girls ac- tually sacrifice themselves to Palo, the goddess of the volcano. The two young girls, reeling with kava, a heady brew extract- ed from palm leaves, had lain on the edge of the crater and been covered with garlands before plunging Into the burning cauld- ron of molten lava a thousand feet below, When a man and a woman marry they become one.

How can I cope with white spots left on furniture by al- cohol? A. Apply some petroleum jelly, and rub vigorously with a wad of cotton. Fresh spots usually disappear after one ap- plication, but old spots may re- quire several treatments. Q. How can I prevent some of my pumps from constantly slip- ping off the heel of my foot? A. Try using a half-inch width of elastic about six inches long, fastening the middle of this strip on the inside of the heel of your pump. Stretch the ends slightly, then fasten them to the sides of the shoe. Place them where they will be con- cealed from sight, of course. Q. I am forever sneezing when. using some of my soap powders, Any suggestions? A. Try putting a teaspoonful of salt into your dishwater or laundry machine before adding the soap powder. Q. How can I remove some decals from painted furniture? A. Use dome denatured alcohol to soften the decals, then remove them by some very gentle scrap- ing. To cover any possible slight damage, use a thin coat of light wax over the spot. ISSUE 44 — 1961 MEPIOAI. POST'S ECZEMA SALVE B,akus l the torment of dry eczema rashes and weeping shin troubles.
