Tt is reported that control is markedly improved in this interesting version of the helicopter design Important advances in controllability and simplicity of operation are also understood to have been made in the Sikorsky helicopter—the first to show the startling potentialities of this type of machine in this country— and in the Bell versions of the helicopter, of which commercial model are under test. It has always seemed that a number of important war roles lay open to aircraft which not only could | descend on and ascend from fields not much larger than the diameter of their rotors but could hover at will at any height from the ground Considerable | production has been made for the Army.

Turning \mencan Territories Into States (Los Angeles Times) of the Interior Ickes, who is said to be may be pardoned for seeking to the policy of That is | Seccretar | “on the way out,” {take a lion's share of the credit for | turning American Territories into States {the Ickes way But his announcement of a policy looking toward ‘SLM( hood for Hawaii and Alaska can hardly be called novel. After all, American Territories have been transformed into States according to pretty well- | recognized procedure for a long time now. It can be granted that Mr. Ickes is right in seek- ing to arrange an orderly a process as possible for the creation of new States. Puerto Rico and the | Virgin Islands do Present special problems. But it is hardly to be conceded that he had added very much |toward the solution of the vexatious details which always arise in connection with such Federal de- | pendencies. { For many years—since long before Mr. Ickes | appeared upon the Washington scene, in fact the wheels have been in motion for the eventual granting of Statehood to Territories meeting the traditional | requirements. When that time comes the rest of the - | nation will welcome the new States cordially just as their predecessors have been welcomed. | But Mr. Ickes can haraly expect particular im- | portance to attach to his part in the proceedings. He has been but an incident. The American way gocs |along regardless of the officials who happen to have | their little time upon the stage, and no matter how they may seek to magnify their own transien® importance. | (Washington Post) The last word—or is it?—in largesse has now been uttered by Senator Sheridan Downey. He has offered a bill to give every veteran a free trip abroad, |at Government expense of course, with the privilege {of taking along his family on a half-fare basis. The arrangement could be made more generous, to be sure, |if the veterans were allowed to take along friends as well as relatives and if each of them could be furnished with his own private yacht or Liberty ship. But we are sure that Senator Downey did not mean to be niggardly and that the proposal will be accepted by servicemen in the spirit in which it was intended. It is the Senator’s view that this sort of travel { would not only repay veterans to some extent for ! their sacrifices but would also encourage understand- ing between peoples and stimulate international trade. We are not so sure. International trade might be jobs and helped to produce some of the stuff that is | to be traded. Understanding between peoples might | i be benefited by some slight delay before another | American invasion. And the veteran themselves, hav- ing traversed most of the globe from Duesseldorf to | lokin(\wa might like to settle down and get on with | the real business of living in a peacetime society. | Whether it was the heat or the humidity which gavc | rise to this legislative brainstorm of Senator Downey’s, l“ is a good thing, we fancy, that the Senate has '\L | last packed up and gotten out of our pernicious | climate. ends there.

Removals from unsatisfactory houses will be possible for many families who must make domestic readjustments. Special care to avoid accidents is urged.

The .informal attire of sum- mer will be retained by the young, to an extent that excites criticism i and causes protests.
