ATOMIC RADIATION MEASURES SNOW A new use for atomic radiation is a remote-control means of determining the potential water supply from mountain snow. Government scientists said the auto- matic method opened up broad possibilities for ob- taining advance knowledge of such water resources at a point far removed [rom the mountain. This atomic radiation might come in useful in Alaska. It, however, it just a suggestion. Crude Effort to (Cincinnati Enquirer) IU's just a hunch, but we suspect that President Truman made a serious tactical blunder when he told a press conference recently that the administration intends to erack the patronage whip over members of Congress in their votes on his legislative pro- posals—specifically repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act. In the past, such efforts to sway Congress have failed rather dismally. A Congressman is a politician, perhaps, but the average Congressman also thinks a good deal of his public trust. He fecls that he is a good bit above the level of a ward lieutenant who must obey orders “or else.” Therefore, he usually is resistant to any overt patrgnage influence on legisla- tion. Particularly is this likely to be true when “the boss™ tells the world what he is going to do, as Presi- dent Truman did at his press conference. ‘The patronage whip may cow a few members of Congress. But their number will be offset, and pos- sibly much more than offset, by the number of others who will have their minds made up in the contrary direction by this crude attempt to bludgeon into servility a branch of government which the framer: of the Constitution intended should be coordinate, not dependent, the equal of and not the slave, of the executive. Intimidate How Can They Tell? (Philadelphia Bulletin) According to the Russian Minister of Education, there is not one person in the Soviet Union who cannot read and write. Some of them, however, may be in the position of the man who said he didn't know whether he could play the piano or not, because he'd never had a chance to tr “Certain African tribes require that in order to then be transmitted automatically by radio to observers in areas where mountain snow is a factor in plan- ning farm operations, flood-control, water conserva- | tion, and the maintenance of hydro-electric power.
