JOURNEY TO THE MOON Get Your Rockets I uned Up Science has advanced to the point where, when you talk about taking a ti ip to the moon, people no longer lot k sorrowfully upon you as one who has been affected by the fabled light from that lunar orb. An actual journey to the moon may become a reality sooner than one would have expected five years ago. Right now, in several parts of the world, there are small groups of earnest experts who are quite serious about the prospects of travel between the planets One of those organizations is the British Interplanetary society, a group of about 4)0 members nearly one third of whom are rocket and supersonic research scientists. Another third is made up of mechanical o".d electrical engineers, radio and radar technicians researchers But actual travel in space is still working on weapons a secondary consideration.

Now, under Harry Truman, former commander of Battery D, 129th field artillery, the situation is reversed. . Political reports from various parts of the country indicate that Mr Trumans loyalty to his personal doctor, Brig. Gen. Wallace Graham, will cost him perhaps a million votes. The public seems to resent the fact that Graham, sitting at the right hand of the President, speculated in the grain market, even more than they resent the speculation of Ed Pauley, who wasnt so close to the President. Nevertheless, Mr. Truman remains loyal to the army doctor. Meanwhile, almost unnoticed by the public is the fact that Rear Adm James Foskett has left the White House for "sea duty. Admiral Foskett is the Presidents former naval aide. Actually the reason for his exit is not necessity for going to sea, but the fact that he had a row with the army the army in this case represented by Maj. Gen. Harry Vaughan. General Vaughan, a former manufacturers representative in St. Louis, who used to train with Mr. Truman in the Missouri national guard, has got the President into all sorts of personal pickles.

Lots of times I have thought that the department of didnt put forth its best efforts In cases involving union justice gorillas or moving picture people or ideological refugees. a There is fact about the duty of the federal judges which few of us know and most of those few seldom remember. A federal judge is supposed to sniff out skulduggery done in his presence and to denounce any obvious or 'rooledness negligence on the part of the district attorney whether for benefit of the government or of the defendant.
