stay of Turkish might.
Western Concept Cited.
+ The Western concept of respect
for the individual as against the
idea of total submission to the
state - represented by a handful
of dictators-is the Fundamental
reason for intensified strife be-
tween East and West, which many
believe is heading for an newt
able showdown.
So far the West-war- weary and
suffering from the devastations OF
two great conflicts-has proved
itself soft and weak. Only in the
last year has the United States,
the only Western nation still pos
sessing great power of resistance,
awakened to the physical dangers
which threaten us If the march of
the Red dictatorship remains un-
challenged.
Our leaders finally have become
aware that the two oceans which
in the past protected our shores
against aggression no longer offer
our people needed security.
The Century of Progress" has
placed many of it's almost fantas-
tic inventions in the service OF
war rather than of individual
comfort and happiness. Distances
have shrunk, thanks to the ad-
vent of supersonic planes. But
instead of bringing the peoples of
the world harmoniously together
they are now a continuous threat
to our security and our lives.
The power-thirsty Orientals in
Moscow have few commercial air
liners for the use of civilians. But
they have many more squadrons
of warplanes than all the West
ern nations put together.
Peace BY Spending.
Since the end of the war we
have attempted to bring peace
among men by spending our
wealth lavishly - and sometimes
indiscriminately, as is the case of
UNRRA. During that time the
dictators in Moscow have worked
hard to establish new bases as
close as possible to the United
States, whence they hope to strike
at us.
In Europe they are within
walking distance" of the borders
of the Atlantic pact countries. In
the Far East, thanks to unbe-
lievable blindness on the part of
our leaders, they are established
firmly on the Asiatic mainland,
dominating thousands Of miles of
coastline from northernmost ST.
IBERIA to the border of Indo-C China.
It depends on our own resource
fulness now whether the last half
Of the Goth century is a repetition
Of the Nightmares Of the first half.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Just
what do they know in the Soviet
Union about what once were and
still may be our atomic secrets?
I know only that during the war,
when I visited Russia in the
early summer of 1944-about a
year before the explosion of our
first atomic bomb-they knew
far more than I did.
In June, 1914, our Soviet hosts
took our party. plus a couple of
dozen Anglo-American war cor
respondents, on a tour of Lenin-
grad. which included a visit to
the badly bombed Kirov electrical
plant. Originally the plant con-
sisted of several sections, sepa-
rated by cobblestone courtyards
All but one of these had been
f1attened by the Germans, so that
we had to pick our way over
mountains of rubble and twisted
girders.
But there curious contraption
OF rusty steel, standing abandoned
In a rubble- filled court, caught
my attention and I stopped. In
form it was like a huge kettle
drum. Somewhere I had seen a
picture of something like it.

and master of ceremonies assigned

few OF the correspondents.
What is that?" I asked Kirilov,
pointing at this curious contrap-
tion exposed to the weather but

"Oh, that" said Kirilov, "is

Soviet physicist. Prof. Joffe, when
he makes. how you say, splitting

This I dutifully wrote down in
my notebook, for I was collecting
material for a book-which was
later denounced by number of
those warmly pro-Soviet Anglo
American correspondents as fund
amentally dishonest"
"But this is old. Is-how you
say-obsolete," continued Kirilov.
The new ones we Take out from

"Of course"

"Of course" I was humoring
him. He was trying to make the
point that, even with the enemy
at its gates, in the Soviet Union
this research in theoretical science
still continued, even though 1t
had no practical military value.
More Details Offered.

Executive Rule for Fairfax
Federotion's Record
Upheld by Boyes
In RepIy to Travis

The record OF the Fairfax
County Federation of Citizens
Associations was uphelp last night
by its president. Guy M. Bayes.
He replied to a statement last
Monday by Lewis s. Travis, act
ing secretary Of the newly formed
committee favoring the Executive
Form of Government. The civic
federation advocates the county
manager form.
Mr.. Bayes said the federation
was formed in 1910 to combine
the strength of the smaller civic
organizations to better promote
countrywide improvements.
Recalls Activities.
He said the federation officers
always have been elected by dele
gates at well-announced meet
ing held for that purpose.
Recalling the federation's ac-
tivities during the last 10 years
Mr.. Bayes said the organization
has worked for higher teacher
salaries. for better schools, fol
better roads and improved plan.
ming and coming, for better tele.
phone and bus service, for ade.
quate trash disposal, for improve
ment of health and medical serv.
ices and for improved services Of
all kinds.
THE federation has represented
the interests of all the county's
residents In many public battles, >
Mr.. Bayes said.
"It turned a bid for higher
rates by the old Virginia Light &
Power Co. into a cut in rates and
a complete reorganization of that
company.
Got Hatch Act Exemption.
"Its efforts made Fairfax
County the first in the country
excluding the city of Arlington
to get a Hatch Act exemption
enabling its residents who were
Federal employees to take part in
local government"
Mr.. Bayes added that while the
federation does not support in
dividual candidates for public Of
flee, it has encouraged citizens
to register and vote and has sup
ported every movement to bring
progressive and efficient govern
ment to- the county. Of
"The federation's advocacy of
the county manager plan is a mat,
ter of public record" Mr.. Boyer
said. More than a year ago the
federation's standing county gov
ernment committee undertook a
thorough study of government un-
der the present century-old form
and of the forms made available
as options by Virginia law.
Made Exhaustive Study.
"This committee made an ex-
haustive study. 1t investigated
the complaints against the pres
ent form, and its performance,
made by the hundreds of citizens
from the federation's "a mem
Der associations. It studied care
fully the collection of duplicat-
ing, overlapping and conflicting
boards, commissions and Offices
that make up the present head
less form.
"The committee obtained the
services and advice of Virginia's
most competent authorities on
county government. The study
fully supported-in every respect
the specific recommendations of
those authorities that the county
manager plan provided the best
form for Fairfax County.
THE federation itself-com-
posed of it's affiliated associations
studied the report. After full
discussion the assembled delegates
adopted the county manager pro-
posal as the way to efficient and
truly representative government in
Fairfax County," Mr.. Boyer said.
