: Changing Colors Of Old Scotland The atmosphqre in the north- west of Scotlaud is, although soft and despite the moisture that § often congeals in rain, a clear | one, much more so than in the ; south-west. There is a silken i quality to the air of a sunny day EE in the Hebri&®, And here .the © colours are famous, even fab- ulous, Many painters have tried to recapture the colours of the Iona shore. 1t is not easy to do so in . -terms of paint, for the hues are bo as ephemeral as if they were f alive, as if one was always just about to pass into another, chang- ing as the tide rolls across rocky reef and silver sand, and ranging between a more than imperial - purple where the tangle covers the seabed to a sheer kingfisher blue or turquoise evanescent green over the sand. The round- ed pebbles of a shingle bay in Iona include green marble, red granite, a black stone with a silvery silicate veining, all gleam- ing with the sea upon them, "holding the beauty of jewels but none of the curse of riches. . . . The clear Atlantic water is ; much kinder to colour than the more drumlic North Sea, Bright blue it can 've even in rough weather, picked out with white catspaws; so blue that it seems surprising that the plunging gan: nets should re-emerge from it white at all On a good day the North Sea can be deeply blue, but, in a long acquaintance with .the Firth of Forth, I have seen it looking mysterious in the west- K- ern way, with subtle greens, not 3 half a dozen times, although it can catch a certain splendour from the rising or setting sun, and has its own moods of pallor or sombreness. Quite different from the clear Hebridean light, the light of the Orkney Islands has a marked opacity: its landscapes seem all "777 to have been painted with a heavy base of Chinese white, A hundred miles further north the Shetland air is quite different t again, truly nordic, with a bropd- i ing hint of the Arctic Circte be- 3 hind it, often a skyful of dark i § elouds with bright pools of light intensified by the contrast. And in Shetland, of course, we have the most pronounced both of those fascinating effects of long shadow, and of the undarkening night of midsummer. . .. The nights of northern mid- summer are curious, without" darkness but with colour and ~» shadow very little determined by -- the light left to the memory of the departing day as it fuses with the promise of the coming dawn. In Shetland the winter day is, in eontrast, almost devoured al- together by night encroaching at either end. . . . Lastly, there are the colour freaks of pure light. The Nor- ---thern Lights, the merry dancers, may be seen night after night in the Highlands and Islands, wan and fitfull usually but sometimes flaring into reds and greens, oc-_ cagionally filling the whole sky with unearthly abandon--From "Scotland: Land of Colour," In- troduction and Text by George Scott-Moncrieff.

PROJECT GNOME -- This Atomic Energy Com "bégan "Templehof is small and loc ated in the heart of Berlin . . REN == ; & 3 land." Above is the view from the cockpit of a DC-6B as it Through The Air Tunnel To West Berlin By TOM A. CULLEN, Newspaper Enterprise Assn. BERLIN -- (NEA) -- The pilot banked, then headed the DC-6B inta the Berlin air corridor as coolly as though he was turning into one of Germany's auto- bahns. For the next 253 miles we would be separated from the red sea of East Germany by an air strip only 20 miles wide. We would be flying down one of the | three air tunnels which link West Berlin with the free world. Theoretically, if we deviated by so much as a mile in either direction we could be forced down by East German fighters, or shot down in flames. I say "theoretically," for nothing of this sort has happened. ------But-not-until -we-reached=-Ber-- |-- lin's Templehof airport could we again breathe in safety. Yet Pan American World Airways, which is the sole American carrier op- erating in Berlin, flies 32 round our identity. But there has been absolutely no provocation." Flight Captain Al Bisson, whose guest I was on the 0940 hours flight from Munich to Ber- lin, prefers tunnel to corridor as a desecription of the Berlin air route. "It's more like flying through a 20-mile wide tunnel," he explains, "because we are not only hemmed in on either side, but we must not fly below 2,500 feet nor above 10,000 feet. it gives some people claustropho- bia." By a strange coincidence, Bis- son was born in another Berlin --Berlin, N.H,, and he regards this as a lucky omen, "See this salient?" he said pointing on a map to a wooded area. "It's pretty common knowl- woods. Therefore, we are careful not to cut any corners here." A little further on, the head- phones I was wearing began to crackle with data given out by FRANKFURT WEST GERMANY bb MAP SHOWS the three cllied air corridors 'between West Germany and West Berlin. Flignts rronet4inich, in southern Germany, travel north and pick up the Frankfurt corridor just west of the East German border. trips down the Berlin corridors daily. Its pilots shuttle down the corridors as many as six times a day. Just how dangerous is it to fly down the Berlin air corridors? What is the morale of the pilots? To find out I have just com- pleted trips from Munich to Ber- lin, and from Berlin to Frankfurt in the cockpits of Pan American DC-6Bs. I have talked to a num- ber of- pilots: Contrary to some stories that have appeared in the U.S. press, I found their morale to be exceedingly high. None of those I talked to has asked. for a transfer since the Berlin crisis "To a man they were tighting mad: about stories that they were, : getting jittery and losing their nerve, They also branded as false ~~ the rumor that commercial alr liners are being buzzed, or other- wise harassed in the air corridors by Soviet MIGs, - Flight Captain Graham W.

Sometimes these planes 'have even flown along- side us long enough to establish: artist's conception based on U.S. mission sketches shows the shape of the tunnel in which on atomic device will be set off. The site ofthis project is Carlsbad, N.M. an American radar post which identified itself only by the code name of "Telegram." "Telegram," .I was told, would monitor our flight for half of the way through the corridor, then the Berlin radar posts would take over, Meanwhile, fog had closed in, and visibility had dropped to 500 yards, according. to the reports. The co-pilot and engineer went about their business calmly, re- sponding to the slightest change recorded by their instrument dials, About 4 miles from Temp- elhof, Ground Control Approach took over and began to talk us lost altitude the trew showed _ during the entire flight, Templehot is small and located jets are barred, and even piston- engined planes must bank sharp- landing in thick fog is no fun, --ground--the fog suddenly lifted and we found ourselvés coming in between parallel rows of red lights for a perfect landing. "Well," 1 said, as Captain Bis- son put his arms through the gold-braided sleeves of his uni- form coat and reached -for his brief case, "I suppose you're free now until this afternoon." "Free?" the captain said in- credulously. "Hell no, I've just beforestlying this bus to Han- nover down the middle air cor- , ridor."

He was assessing the fit- nes: of American commercial pilots here to mount another such operation should it be nce- essary. . . . : During the 11 months starting in June, 1948, every pound of food and every ton of coal to keep the people of West Berlin alive was transported by air. In atotal of 277,728 flights, British, American and French airmen brought in 2,343,301 tons of food and supplies. At the peak of the airlift, planes were landing in West Ber- Jin at the rate of one every 45 seconds. There were casualties, too--72 men lost their lives in ac- cidents. .. "Sure, we could do it again if we had to," the captain said reflectively. "But we ought not. to have to resort to another air- lift," he added. "Someone should stand up to Khrushchev before it becomes a question of Berlin being cut off by road and rail. If we are firm we won't need another airlift." How To Become A Fire-Eater! When gasoline was rationed in Britain a fuel official thought it a joke when an attractive girl en- tered his office and asked him where professional fire - eaters applied for their ration. The gir], a dark-haired, slim- figured charmer still in her teens, was passed on to another Government department, red tape was slashed to a minimum and she got a form which ge titled her to a suppleffieafa tion. hs Todey, WHEN gasoliNe ANA Ke osene are plentiful, the number of girl and men fire-eaters is in- creasing im various parts of Eur- ope. They are appearing with greater frequency than ever in theatres and at eircuses. It takes nerve, courage and skill to'be a fire-eater. Learning to "eat fire" and breathe out - flames is an art, although one girl who does her act in a se- quined bikini and can blow a twenty - foot flame from her mouth has -leclared that the main thing to remember is that you must know how to be relaxed "ang and keep cool! It's hard to credit the fact that flame-swallowing can be quite a pleasant experience -- when you have practised under-expert guidance and really know how to do it. ~ Some years ago an amateur fire-eater in South Africa invi- ted the Press to a private demon- stration of his methods. He poured liquid from an un- labelled bottle into hi§ mouth and happily lit it with a match, A long blue flame shot out of his mouth, setting fire to his hair, "his chest and hi§ spectacles. Re- porters rushed to his aid and ex- tinguished the flames. Next day, as he lay in hospital recovering from his burns, the amateur fire-dater said-ruefully: "I must have used benzine by mistake!" y One woman fire-eater claimed she could conquer pain by basing her act on the belief that mind is superior to matter. Through-' out her career she was only once slightly scorched while swallow- ing flames from torches and twirling the torches so that they covered most of her slim figure. A famous fire-eater of the sev- , enteenth century was a man named Heiterkéit whose per- formances were so daring and _spectacular.that he 'appeared be-. fore four members of the Royal Family in Britain, ' Another great fire - éater was named Powell--an odétogenarian;" Despite his age he would take burning. coals from a fire and place them in his mofith, carry a red-hot poker around the stage 'between his teeth' and drink, with an fron spoon, "a beverage consisting of blazing hot pitch, wax, brimstone and lead." On Bald Heads Blue Tennis-Shoes, + Gave Spy Away The success of a spy depends upon his training. And one of Hitler's best spy-trainers was the charming and chic Baroness An- nabella von Hodenburg. She had a luxurious apartment in Rome where she trained and sent into Allied lines some of the finest operators of World War II. Her best pupil was plump, Carla Costa--a one-time profes- sional ice-skater. : She did untold damage to the Allies in Italy after the capitula- tion. She was as courageous as any man, Carla first attracted the at- tention of counter - espionage agents in October, 1944, when they captured an Italian Spy named Mario Martinelli. He was picked up by the Office of Stra- tegic Services as he made his way into Allied lines. In spite of his excellent training, Martinelli was not spy material. At heart he was a coward. Told that he would be shot un- less he talked, he told how he and Carla Costa had been trained by the Baroness, then sent into the Axis lines for briefing, and how they had then come together into the Allied lines where they split up a matter of minutes before he was caught. "You know where Carla is," an "0.S.S. man told Martinelli. "Un- less you tell us, you must stand convicted of espionage--and that means the firing squad" For the first time Martinelli stood resolute, although he had made a statement running to many pages which told how the agents of the. Baroness von Ho- denburg worked behind the lines. "All T will tell you is what I have already told you, and no more," Martinelli snarled. The 0.S.S. had him tried as a spy, | -and_he was shot, -- ~~~ = The O.S.S. knew Carla Costa had gone on to Rome. But they did not have a very good descrip- tion of the girl, just that she was eighteen, plump, and probably wearing blue tennis-shoes. Carla was caught when an alert 0.S.S. man saw a plump, raven-haired girl wearing blue tennis-shoes being given a [lift on a bicycle by a youth. The officer in civilian clothes stopped them and came straight to the point. "Hullo, Carla," he said. "I have been looking for you." "The girl stared at the officer - and shrugged, and called his- bluff. . "You are mistaken, Signor," she said blithely. "My name is not Carla.

She held out against Faccio and against all the other top counter- espionage agents who attempted to crack her loyalty. The officers had almost given up persuading the plucky teen- ager to unseal her lips, when one man had an idea. He told Carla that he would be passing her mother's flat in Rome that evening. He offered to take "a letter, and tell her that her daughter would 'die a heroine's death. Then, 'at last, Carla broke down.

Planting Hair Any suburbanite who has spent a weekend implanting plugs of plush Zoysia grass into his sparse lawn can appreciate the logic be- hind a new method for treating common male baldness, At the American Academy of Dérmatology meeting in Chicago recently, Dr. Norman Orentreich of New York University reported that he has been doing essential- ly the same thing to refurbish gleaming pates. He simply re- moves small patches of hair from the fringe around the side of the patient's head and drops them into skin-deep holes prepared on the bare scalp. Initially, patches encrust and the trans- planted hair falls out, but in two 'or three months, the doctor said, they flourish again. ~"It-doesn't 'seem to matter whether a man has been bald for five or 30 years," Dr. Orentreich declared. on my first patients, treated sev- en years ago."
