Usually these words of warning have been accompanied "by figures showing a steep rise in con sumer credit and: other debt totals in the United States. It is true that the total debt of the American economy is, and-has been rising sharply. However, one could not expect anything else. , The income of the American economy is rising, as weir as savings,' population, and total production. Thus, it is only natural, fqr total, debt, to irise00 To get an accurate picture of what the rising American debt means, and whether or not it threatens us with an economic recession, one must look at the Hncreasing debt compared with increased population, income and sav ings. When one does this, it is re assuring, since it is discovered that the growth of savings is moving up ward faster than the growth of, the total American debt. In fact, only in one year since World War II has the total American debt grown faster than have increased savings. Also, when comparing income and the total American debt, one can sum marize the comparison by showing that the gross debt has expanded about two' hundred per centeince 1940, while the national income has expand ed two hundred fifty per cent. There fore, the American .debt in 1952 was a smaller proportion of the national income than it was in 1940. Valuable Information Is Gained From Recent . The Army has test-fired 70 V-2 rockets at the White Sands, N. M-, proving grounds during the past six years. , '; J C, v; '. The first test firing at White Sands was a check run of a V-2 rocket mo tor. It was mounted on a static test stand setinto the side of a mountain, with a concrete flame pit below to receive the jet blast of the 56,000 pound thrust motor. Thirty days later, the first V-2 to take to the air in America roared into the atmosphere. From early in 1946 until July 1, 1951, the actual work of building and launching V-2 rockets was accomplish ed at White Sands Proving Ground by close co-ordination between Army Ordnance missile technicians, officers and men of the First Guided Missile Battalion stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas, and the General Electric Com pany. ,!-.'' -: ' ',,: In July, 1951, GE transferred all V-2 material to the Army Ordnance Corps which then assumed responsi bility for completing the V-2 program. In the next year, the Army V-2 project successfully conducted nine static firings of V-2 propulsion units and fired five missiles for high alti tude research, one of which rose to a height of 132 miles. That was in August, 1951. . The program which ended in Octo ber, 1952, provided valuable informa tion on: 1. How to fire a two-stage rocket. 2. Aerodynamic data. 3. Atmospheric properties and tem perature effects. 4. Atmospheric composition at high altitudes. 5. Atmospheric ionization and the 6. Radiation phenomena including cosmio ray and X-ray measurements. 7. Earth's magnetic field. 8. Parachute; design. ' , 9. Atmospheric, meteor content and bombardment; by meteoric dust 10. Photography. . , 11. Television transmission. 12. Speed of sound and shock wave measurements. V 13. SpectroBcopical analysis. 14. Rocket turbine, design. While the purpose of the V-2 fir ing program was primarily upper at mosphere research, the firing .also, served many other useful purposes. Valuable experience was gamed , in assembly, pre-flight test, launching and handling, ancr firing of large liquid-fueled missiles. Americar-manu- factured steering control systems and other guided missile components were tested. The behavior of the missile I in flights-its yaw, roll and pitch- provided significant data for 'subse quent missile firings. The -firings al so were used to test ground control guidance of .the lockets by radar and to test radars on detection and tracK ing of . supersonic missiles in flight To protect the complicated research equipment from landing shock, instru ments and containers were packed carefully and braced to prevent or minimize damage on impact Some rockets were constructed so that the nose or the tail section, or both, could be blown off on the downward teg of the flight by explosive charges.. Then, after severance, the rocket descended in a flat spin instead of nose first. This served to lessen tne force of im pact. ; ' , Upper atmosphere, research with rockets' in the United States dates from the close of World War II. In October, 1945, the Wac Corporal one of the first "All-American" missiles was launched successfully as a part of the Army's missile research program. It. II. Crouse, a0ic. ?Vct,L.IL; for the N.

'' ' THE AMERICAN WEEKLY Magazine in Colorgravnre with the BALTIMORE SUNDAY AMERICAN Order from Your Local Newsdealer Malenkov vs. Beria? Speculation continues in the West ern World about the reported rivalry in Moscow between Premier Georgi Malenkov and First Deputy Premier Lavrenti P. Beria. The recent purge of the Ukranian Communist Party boss is attributed by many observers to the influence of Beria. ' This, and other evidences, are tak en as an indication that Beria is gain ing the upper hand in the Kremlin and that he is probably allied with ; the man who was the No. 2 Commu nist while Stalin was alive Vyaches lav M. Molotov. Foreign observers could not miss the interesting fact that Ukranian newspapers had glamorized Premier Malenkov to a far greater extent than had papers in Russia proper. Wheth er there is any connection between this and the - t.nn TTlrrnninn rrtiwmn. nistV removal from office is yet to be definitely established. It is as curate to report that his removal has added weight to the school of opiniqn that Beria, and probably Molotov, are now wielding great influence inside the Kremlin. ' A strange lack of publicity about the new Premier Georgi Malenkov has been noticed by observers" in re-, cent months-. This has heightened the speculation that Malenkov is having a difficult time establishing his po sition as dictator of the U. S. S. R. While no one in the United States can predict the course of affairs which will transpire in Moscow, ; it - would not be surprising to pick up a newspaper some day and find that one or more of the top personalities involved have died an unexpected and "natural" death. U.S. Library System Fails Despite the wealth of America, the present generation has failed to build an adequate library system for young and old in forty-five out of forty-eight states. This conclusion was reached recently by a group of state librarians and the New York State Library in , a cooperative study.. The group went so far as to term : the condition of the nation's public libraries "shocking," and estimated that more than 53,000.000 Americana i do not have easy access to books'. - And 24,000,000 have no public library services of any kind. .. . ; , Anyone who has traveled abroad . and seen feverish Communist efforts to provide Communist-tinted litem- i ture for the masses can readily realize the extent of this failure in our do mestic system. , ( The public library is an American . heritage, which must be preserved if intellectual freedom and 'individual 7 freedom of thought are to' be safe guarded.
