EDITORIALS tit: Earth's Warming Up Dr. Eward Teller says the earth is warming up. Taking his stand in the con troversy concerning the trend of the wea ther, Teller says that the increasing a mount of carbon dioxide in the air is warm ing up our earth. Teller says accurate measurements show that there has been an increase of 2 in the carbon dioxide content in the air since the beginning of the industrial re volution. This has been caused by heavy uses of fuel such as coal, oil, and its deri vatives. Unless there is a halt to the trend, Teller believes the earth will become over heated before the end of the twentieth century. He believes that when the amount of carbon dioxide has increased much fur ther, ice caps on the Poles will begin to melt (they are already receding) and the amount of water in the oceans will in crease. This will inundate such Port cities as New York and such countries as Holland. The answer? Teller believes the ans wer is the use of nuclear fuel. The Asso ciate Director of the University of Califor nia's Kediation Laboratory says that we must put nuclear fuel to work, powering electrical plants which otherwise would consume coal, or oil or other carbon dioxi de producing fuels. The Forty Hour Week Senator Lnydon Johnson, the Texas Democrat who is currently majority leader of the upper legislative body, says that the forty-hour work week might be dis carded in favor of war-time mobilization schedule. Johnson says "business as usual" will not put a U. S. satellite in the skies and that not only must we accomplish this goal but we face the task of catching up with Russia in the satellite and rocket fields where we are not trailing ominously.

It is quite possible, however, that Johnson referred to skilled workers certain industries where additional workers are not sow available and that in spite of the fact that we have unemployed, some of our workers will bo forced to work more than forty hours a week. When it conies to a question of na tional security, then there can be no hesita tion, no squawks and no holdups. If a longer work week is needed, then time and a half pay should and will be payed and the longer work week should be instituted immediately.
