...perpetrators of the Deir Yassin massacre of women and children should receive government pensions is a severe blow to Israeli prestige. Morally, the action was a greater crime than the original massacre, because it came in a period of relative peace, without the pressure of war hysteria or the heat of battle. The court has condemned itself [yet] no people on earth have a longer history of regard for human rights...
...booklet describes FCDA's sketchy tests held last spring at Yucca Flat, Nevada (TIME, March 30). Two "typical" frame houses, densely populated with department-store dummies, were exposed to the heat, radiation and blast of an AEC "nuclear diagnostic device" on a 300-ft. tower. In their basements and dug into nearby desert were various shelters, also inhabited by dummies...
This point is not made clear in the FCDA booklet. In other ways, the test was not realistic. The houses were painted white to reduce the effect of the explosion's heat. They had no electric wiring, gas pipes, oil burners or other equipment that might make them catch fire. Except for outside chimneys, the houses contained no masonry, which might have crashed into the basement, crushing the wooden shelters...
...There's as much difference between the Mustang's electrical system and that of a Sabre as there is between a doorbell and a television set." For a full year, engineers worked on ejection seats to bail the pilot out in case of emergency. Because the friction heat at 600 m.p.h. raises a plane's cockpit temperature enough to roast the pilot, the F-86 had to have a cooling unit with the power of 35 household refrigerators; because it would run into temperatures of 65° below at high altitudes, it needed a heating unit capable...
...supersonic age, Kindelberger and other planemakers face a new challenge to tax their ingenuity: the thermal barrier. At speeds contemplated for the near future, tough aluminum will lose much of its strength because of friction-generated heat (titanium will replace it for many uses). Cockpit canopies of today's materials will soften like putty; present-day electronic equipment may fail. The U.S. will have its hands full keeping ahead on such problems. Despite the success of the Sabre in Korea, Kindelberger does not underestimate the mechanical ability of the Russians. Says he: "Our conception of the Russian is crazy...
