LOOKING... AT LIFE By Erich Brandeis Hvi-p is a man after my own heart His name is Vie Trotter in«t he owns a sawmill in Santa <'ihz. Calif. Santa Cruz I doubt that i many ol you have been there is I located on the Bay of Monterey, iieautifully situated <m l;tn»l rising gradually from the bay. The j climate is etjuable and pleasant j ind there is lots of fun to be had ; *in Santa Crtiz But I suppose V’Sc’ Trotter, liki* | all people who stay in one place j too long, got tired’of his home i town and detn't appreciate its > beauties any longer. I have heard the same com- j plaints from others, no matter | how lovely their own community, s l ow beautifully located, how j tme its climate. Human beings simply n**ed a | change every once in a while j Many travel thousands of miles | to get that change ami then find i that it isn't so much of a change, ! after all They are glad to get ! home again, and they see their ' own place in an entirety ne\. light. But enough of my philosophizing. •

jWeWASHINGTON ' ' MARCH OF EVENTS —— Ordnance Officials Admit !‘ Say Weapon Vulnerable; Atomic Weapon 'Oversold* Production ^ Now^ Halted *• Special to Ct ntral Press 14'WASHINGTON’—Anny ordnance officials are conceding that thev yy oversold their highly-vaunted atomic cannon but they believe their optimism served a good purpose. They admit that the enormous 280-mm. weapon is “highly vulnerable" and is ••inefficient” in its use of costly atomic materials. Production of the cannon has been halted because the Army says “cut rent requirements” have been met. The trouble with the 85-ton giant is that while it can throw a disaster-dealing shell it takes 20 minutes to get it ready to tiie and & 20 minutes to get it on the road again. Besides that, the cannon is not armor-plated and has limited off-the-road mobility. P However, the gun served a good put pose in their opinion. It interested scientists in the Army's end of the war and took some of the attention away from the Air Koree which had been claiming exclusive use of atomic weapons. Now the Army is close to receiving a family of atomic artillery which will be armored, selfpropelled and more efficient in use. Also, the Army was able to use the cannon in visualizing the atomic battlefield of the futme and m designing tactics for use in the next war.

That was a requirement that every day the Senate is in session, its legislative calendar be printed and distributed to all senators'

desks i ^ _

However, in the special session, there is no legislation. As GOP ’ leader William K. Knowland explained, the only change made as the j alendar is printed from day to day is the date. He asked the Senate to agree unanimously to disregard the old I tide and pointed out that It has been costing $91.14 to pt mt the calen- ' tar every day during the special session. The Senate readily agreed i

to the savings.w • • • •

• TOi niST ATTRACTION’S—The I’nited States Army now is in the tourist business. America's millions of tourists have been extended official invitation by Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway. chief of staff, tg eisit the nation's non-secret military bases and camps. Ridgway offered the welcome to civilians in a recent letter to the

American Automobile association.

In it. he commented: ‘ The history of our service is linked with the i lemootatie history of our land and anyone touring out older forts I will gain not only an appreciation of the specific historical events that .ook place there but a deeper understanding of our American

leritage ” /

Ridgway has instructed local camp commanders to meet with representatives of AAA clubs in their aieas to make ariangements for visitors to visit the installations where thousands of servicemen live,

§*Al'TO VITAL IN A-BOMB DEFENSE—The Federal Civil De'ense administration is distributing to automobile clubs a communication pointing out that while the old prescription of "duck and 'over” still has its uses, piesent planning calls for mass evacuation

when there is sufficient warning.

Civil Defense Chief Val Peterson says: "It is clear that the major

aurden of movement for survival will fall upon the

nrivate car. . . . Such a mass exodus would pose sen- Problem

aua traffic problems even under noimal conditions. "However, tinder the lash of such an emergency as

heie contemplated, the problem will be enormously Exodus

aggravated Without advance planning, and the com-

numcation of the basic plan to all citizens—which means it must be .imple—there will be little chance to avoiding a stampede. And a itampede < an slaughte; ' housands even though enemy planes never

show up."

Listen to Vic Trotter. I have a letter from him. Just finished cleaning my .• uns after a three-week vacation." he writes. "I went up into the Sierra Nevadas. They didn’t eally need ( leaning i the guns), for I shot nothing. "Why is it that a person trav-t-b thousands of miles to Niagara l alls New York. Washington, N ellowstone. Florida, etc., comes bark and tells all kinds of wonderful stories about his trip, and evei \A)<,-dv believes every word he say.< and envies him? "They brag about how many miles they traveled each day and what a wonderful time they had. and about all the strange things they saw. “But let a fellow who loves the woods and the mountains take a gun and a fishing polr and travel only H46 miles, the »irst thing they ask you is what you caught, a deer or some extra Mg fish <n- maybe some other wild animal. If you tell them you didn't catch anything, they look ••t you and say, ‘Poor fellow. Bettci luck next time!' ” Then Vic goes on and tells me how he got tired of being at sea level for 11 months out of the year and how he couldn't stand it any longer to hear people gripUig about business, politics, their

eaith and th«»ir kids. I was »»p near the Xecadaalifomia line, close to Reno and • amped at 7.000 feet. Nice clear air with the smell of pine, pondelosa and many other trees. Be•jeve me they smell good, and it night, when the wind comes :p they talk to you and put you ’o sleep. "We went to bed at dark every night and listeaied for once to he voice* of nature rather than : eopb We slepFon an air matless in a nice, warm sleeping >ag. Every once in a while we’t' vake up to hear a coyote howl i an owl hoot. "At five in the morning we • ere up. got our fire going and made breakfast of bacon and ggs oi sausages or something. Then off after deer or some fish-

“Frankly. I hoped we wouldn't find any deer. It's a lot of work and I don’t like to shoot them, anyway. But when the sun rose over the 8.000-foot peak behind our camp and the birds and squirrels and chipmunks came out for their morning exercise, believe me, I forgot all about deer and fish and just thanked my Lord for letting me bv alive and enjoy all this glorious beauty." There is much more to the letter but this is all the space I have. If you ever get sick and tried of your routine, why don't you try Vic Trotter’s experience some time ? KM Kl ITING INFORMATION Sgt. Adams, local recruiter, has just received word * from Fifth Army that he can now enlist men with dependents. According to Sgt. Adams, men with no prior service who have one dependent, may now enlist in the regulary army. Men who have had prior service and who have two dependents may now also enlist in the regular army.

When Mr. Masters rebid two hearts, he showed a good hand, considerably better than a minimum opening bid. Now. holding ns many as four hearts and considering ^he fact it was Mi. Masters and not Mr. Muzzy who would play the hand, Mr. Dale raised hearts to three. ON TO GAME Mr. Masters went <m to game and Mrs. Keen led the queen of diamonds. Mr. Masters looked I he hand over for possible losers before playing to the first trick. There was one in diamonds, and the fact that Mrs. Keen had overcalled made it seem likely that there were two losers in spades end one in hearts. If things were this bad, Mr. Masters figured he could still make the hand if he could, k^ep Mr. Abel out of the lead so that spades would not be led until he had set the stage properly and was ready for them. , On the first trick. Mr. Abel did not put up the king of diamonds but signaled with tht eight. Therefore. Mr. Masters Kicked this trick. A diamond was continued and he won. He went to dummy with the ace of clubs, leading his eight spot in case his deuce should become useful later for entry purposes. < The man thinks of everything. ) SI RE DEATH The nine of hearts was returned and ducked.
