Faith in yourself aud faith in your country will dispel H-bomb hysteria. ——o 0 The wish for an early spring may be so ardent that it will blossom into summer 0 0 The steel mills in this country have an annual capacity of 124 million tons and last year turned out 111.6 million tons. Since 1946, steel capacity has been increased 32 million tons. The material greatness of the United States lies in our capaclty to produce and steel is the basic product in this marvelous growth. —o With Samuel P. Sears bow ingout as general counsel for the senate investigation committee in the McCarthy scrap, it may be difficult to obtain a capable man to conduct the probe. An impartial person is desired, but in the case of McCarthy, it seems that impartiality is impossible. Most people have their opinions, for or against the Wisconsin senator. . o 0 Evil-minded persons desecrated a hallowed burial ground in Wells county, destroying tombstones and grave markers to the amount of $3,000. No reason has been ascribed, and none could be justifiable, why vandals would want to damage this sacred property. The culprits should be rounded up and fed a bread and water menu for about 60 days.

Maybe what this country needs is an improved pencil sharpener, a fortune awaiting the inventor who turns out a smooth cutting blade. - —- Although he and Jais family became fabously rich and now control much of the industrial world, Pierre S.

Disperse New Plants, Military Installations

WASHINGTON UP — New U. S. defense plants and military installations are being dispersed to sites at least 10 miles from so-called target areas to reduce probable damage gen bomb attack. An estimated 25ft sizeable new defense plants have been built or started by private companies at such dispersed sites in the past 18 months under provisions giving the companies tax benefits. Others may have been built in accordance with the dispersal program but without the tax benefit. At least one major military Installation has been put underground. This is the so-called second Pentagon, an extensive alternate command and communications center built inside the Catoctin Mountains 65 miles north of here. The armed services are dispersing all their new installations — both military and production facilities, such as ordnance plants. Indications also are that some atomic plants have been put underground. And atomic weapons presumably are stored in caves or other underground places. Some military installations have, been relocated. For instance, the strategic air command headquarters some years ago was moved deep inland to Omaha, Neb. No serious consideration has been given to putting defense factories underground or to relocating existing opes, with a few exceptions. Thus, large part of the nation's defense production capacity will be left in highly concentrated industrial areas and very vulnerable to mass destruction by H-bombs. The 10-mile limitation was prescribed in the government’s plant dispersal program with the scien-tifically-calculated expectation that at that distance a well-built factory would be knocked out of operation for noly a short time—if at all—-in the -’event of even an Hbomb attack on the nearest major target area. Unless there have been overriding factors, the government has been requiring compliance with this standard for eligibility for a fast tax—writeoff on the costs of new private plants since August. 1952. The 10-mile distance was set about two years ago but tfce defense mobilizatiort office said taday .it still.is adequate despite the terrible destructiveness of the recent H-bomb test blasts in the Pacific. Advisory scientists considered the theoretical effects of an H-bomb attack in their original calculations. And, after a review' last month,
