Post recognizes positive defenses and in relation to Alaska too. The editorial s printed herewith: It is good news that the Air Force is moving ahead with the radar aircraft warning network in Alaska. This screen of ra stations, which will be designed to detect aircraft as far away as 300 miles, is a first essential in the diversion of enemy attack from this continent. Ultimate plans call for it to extend in a semicircle from Alaska through northern Canada, with picket ships providing off-shore pro- tection. It is thus a joint project which envisions connecting construction by Canada. Canada’s cooperation has been excellent, and she has been proceeding fast will allow. One difficulty arisin ever, is that of differences in equipment which may complicate the linking of the two systems into a net. Here is a point which ceordination is nece 7, and it may be sort of as as her resources in this connec how- n, single closest of that Canada the sort on assistance will require some B { northern | bombs to mave mountair not been radar equipment ruct installations to house Congress has ‘authorized but has appropriated on is ned has conge itself but the mone 0 CO the equipment now on hand. 5 million dollar program, no funds. Thus the initial 50 million dollars has had to come from other Air Force activities. The Air | Force has shown proper r rd for priorities, how- ever, in reprogramming to meet the need. Obviously a warning net is at best a negative sort | of protection. Even when it is completed it will not ux wrantee that bombs will not fall on American and s. What it may do, however, is give time for fighter planes to intercept enemy bombers. In an age when attack can come swiftly over the a necessary precaution, and cially important as a means of safeguarding frontier, this is i t Alaskan air fields which would be enemy prizes. But a radar screen ought not to lull Americans into the idea of cheap security. The best defense still lies in belanced over-all military-economic strength in the Western World. A Change of Cast (Cincinnati Enquirer) One of the most famous of all dramatic roles has changed hands. It is the role of Christ in the Ober- ammergau Passion Play, which has been enacted by one member or another of the Lang family for as long as most of us can remember. The recent incumbent, Alois Lang, at 58, has been replaced by Anton Prei inger, a man of 37, who is closer to the age of the Christ of history. Reports seem to differ as to why Lang was ob- | liged to relinquish his part, but it was not because of his former affiliation with the Nazi party. He him- elf feels that he has become too old to enact such taxing role in a performance which lasts eight hours and requires his presence on the stage for much of that time. The news accounts of the changes at Oberam- mergau do not mention the erstwhile political con- nections of the ac who are to play the principal parts in the 1950 production of the Passion Play, but a it may be fairly assumed that a geod many, if not all of them, have gone through the denazification court. impossible, however, to determine how It is these pious rian villagers have been able to clear their consc unless they could have been com- pletely blind to the anti-Christian aspects of the Nazi | That hardly seems credible. program. “An ant has more intelligence than a whale,” says a biologist.
