u. s. WITHOUT COLD-WEATHER FLYING
TRAINING OR DEFINITE POLICY
The marvelous flight of the three Soviet airmen
across the North Polar ice fields and top of the globe,
from Moscow to the United States, brings sharply home
to Alaska, once again, that the United States is still
without a definite policy of cold-weather flying train
ing and that our government has allowed itself to
be exceeded in the development of aviation in the nor
thern hemisphere.
Alaska, where commercial flying progresses under
its own initiative the year ’round, has so far been un
able to bring to a head, a policy of establishing U. S.
government aviation in the Territory, a place where
airplanes have proven beyond a doubt, the greatest
boon to development the country has ever seen.
Congress has approved of the establishment of a
U. S. Army Air Corps base in the Territory, but has
sidestepped the attempts to appropriate sufficient mon
ey for its construction. This, without question would be
one of the greatest military moves the U. S. could make
at this time. Northern United States has many condi
tions similar to Alaska, but the training received there
is as nothing, compared to the practical experience to
be derived ‘n maintaining communications during a win
ter in Alaska.
The Soviet flight serves to bring home once more
the practical need of Arctic flying experience. Soviet
Russia has linked its entire northern empire by air
plane and is out in front in this respect. Canada has al
so realized the importance of developing its Arctic ter
ritory through an expansive policy of aviation. And
the United States has done very little beyond allowing
the construction of a few landing fields in Alaska, leav
ing the work of development to be carried on the young
shoulders of private aviation concerns.
The campaign of development as proposed by Del
egate from Alaska Anthony J. Dimond, would bring
the United States into active participation in the pro
gress of Alaskan aviation.
While we salute the remarkable achievement of the
three Soviet fliers, we turn a questioning eye toward
Uncle Sam—What about it?

Liquids (’an Soak
I p Gold It Has
Keen Proven
When the old Grecian philoso
pher and experimenter, Heracli
tus, decided that all matter was
composed only of fire, he gave
his explanation for the fact that
nothing in the world remains
static—every least atom is in a
constant state of flux, movement
and change.
Today scientists do no’ agree
with hint as to what matter con
sists of, but the prevalence of
change is clear to even the lay
man.
Even gold changes—and can ac
tually be absorbed, or "soaked
up" by lead as a liquid is by a
spong ■. It doesn’t happen rapid
ly, of course; indeed, so slowly
that mathematicians are required
to figure out the necessary time.
Other metals are not immune.
Researchers have placed nitrogen
in sealed iron containers, and im
rr diately mtr gen atoms begin
to push their slow way through
atoms of iron, very much like
prisoners sawing their way to
freedom through iron bars.
Behind the newly discovered
fact that lead penetrates gold and
gases push through solid iron
walls, lies the eternal movement
of all atoms, no matter where
they are confined. And, since
modern science attributes this
motion to heat, perhaps Heracli
tus' reasoning held a particle of
truth.
