Sirs: As Moslems turn to Mecca, as Jews turn to Zion, so all U. S. skiers turn to Red Wing. Your ski article [TIME, Jan. 13] was much like a production of Hamlet without the Prince of Denmark. Red Wing has the oldest ski club in the V. S., the oldest skier in the U. S., the best natural ski slide in America, several former national champions and thousands of loyal Norse citizens who would rather ski than eat lutefisk. J. R. P. KERNAN
...Young. What relevance this disclosure had to the problem of U. S. neutrality was not explained. But its effect was to jerk the Senate investigators roughly back to the present, make their probings a red-hot Senatorial issue. Abruptly revealed was the sharp cleavage between elder statesmen who had known War politics at first hand and younger men who had looked on from the outside.

Therefore Japan, like race-proud Germany, will hereafter build what war boats she pleases. If steel is to be piled onto the oceans until it is time for blood, Japan nevertheless maintains that in any such naval race everyone else will be as much to blame as Japan...
...wood tested, processed by a New Jersey manufacturer, was red oak and maple impregnated thoroughly and uniformly in pressure tanks with ammonium salts which, when hot, release combustion-smothering gases. The treated wood is almost as easily tooled as ordinary wood, a little heavier because of the salt content, no different in appearance. It takes varnish well. The Board's testers created conflagration conditions in large chambers fired by gas nozzles, watched through windows. Under conditions that sent untreated walls and floors roaring up in flames, the treated wood did not burn at all. When exposed to intense heat...
