Shape of Things

The news from the Boxer made q
vivid impression on lay readers
everywhere. but it was received
with a conspicuous yawn by mili-
tary experts here and abroad.
Why? Not because the Boxer was
engaged in a sort of freak opera
ton which could not be sustained
under our present level of technical
advancement. They were bored
rather, because they knew that we
had in fact progressed in guided
missile development to a point
where Operation Boxer already was
outdated.
Pilotless droneS were used in
World War II. The German buzz
bomb was a "blind" variety Of
drone, and we experimental with
a type that could be directed by
radio from a mother plane. In

guess coming If they think they
can stop this attack"
Nixon, clearly, was all set to get
tough and fight it out. But else
where in high Republican councils,
including those on the Eisenhower
campaign train, the reaction was
not quite so clear cut.
Ike himself refused to 60 of
half-cocked, one way or the other.
Il believe Dick Nixon to be an
honest man." he said in a written
statement. II am confident that
he will place all the facts fairly and
squarely before the American
people"
In his moment Of crisis, Eisen-
hover did not lack for counsel.
Half his advisers urged him to
dump Nixon overboard-a successor
vice presidential candidate could
.be selected by the Republican Ma
tional Committee. That way and
only that way, they argued, could
Ike drive home his anti-corruption
campaign and make it stick. The
rest of his advisers were equally
sure they had the answer: Stick
it out. There was nothing illegal
in what Nixon had done, they OBJ
served. The Republicans would
only be made to look ridiculous if
they backed away from him in the
face Of this attack.
The report last night was that
Eisenhower was determined that
Nixon must either prove the trans
action had been a clean one-or
get out. The choice was bound to
be tough one, mo matter how you
looked at it.

money was concerned. Republican
campaign strategy relied heavily
on Ike's young running mate, Sena-
tor Nixon, to give 'em hell" on this
issue.
On Thursday, the blow fell. The
crusading, Fair Dealing New York
Post reported that afternoon that
Nixon, over period of two years,
had received $16,100 in gifts from a
group of wealthy California busi-
nessmen. The paper did not say
what, If anything, the donors
expected to receive in return.
Nixon admitted he had, indeed,
accepted the money. AS it turned
out, the amount was $18,235, con-
tributed by IS individuals.
Completely Squore'
He had accepted it, he said, in
order Ito play completely square
with the taxpayers" He had wanted
to save the public the cost of mail
franking privileges for him and the
expense of having his speeches and
documents printed. The money
also went, he said, for other Office
expenses which he was unable to
meet himself-though he receives
a salary of $12,50O, a personal ex-
pense account of $2,5O0, and more
than $4,000 year with which to
pay staff salaries and other Office
expenses.
At least, said Nixon, he had never
taken legal fees from his constitu-
ents or put relatives on the public
payroll, as some other legislators
had.
The Senator was good and mad,
and he wanted It known. The idea
that there was anything improper
in his actions was "a typical left
wing smear" He had spent his
political life fighting crooks and
Communists"
They have" he said, another

earlier models, the absent "pilot"
aimed the drone at it's target visu-
ally. The new feature of last weeks
operation was the use of Tv, en-
abling the pilot to aim it with
greater accuracy from farther
away.
This, in itself, is no small adj
vance. There seems to be no
reason why any bombing plane
cannot now be equipped with TV
and flown to hazardous target by
a Crew watching from the rela-
tive safety of mother plane.
Flights of robot bombers, for that
matter, can be directed in this way
from one mother plane. Consider
ing the prospective saving of life
and limb, why are the military men
not excited about it?
The Reel Thing
The answer, obviously, must be
that they are not more interested
in this prospect because they are
more interested in another pros
pect. That other prospect is the
development of true guided mis-
siles, built specifically for their
supersonic work.
The Navy already Is converting
two heavy cruisers for the job of
launching guided missiles - by
which it does not mean worn out
World War II airplanes. It already
has in production no less than II
types of guided missiles more mod
ern and deadly than those used
last week.
Nor, of course, does the Navy
have monopoly in the guided
missile field. The Army is known
to have at least two types in pro-
duction, both of which can be
rigged with atomic warheads. The
Air Force has at least that many.
AS to the Russians, no one knows
how far they have progressed in
this sort of development. But all
the informed speculation last week
pointed to the conclusion that
Russia probably Is not far behind
us in her missile research and con-

stand on the thorniest problem of
all: How to stop a national-emer-
gency strike. Neither wanted to
end such strike through an in
junction against labor. Neither
had any alternate solution to offer.
Stevenson will speak to the AFL
tomorrow, and then the union will
decide whether to break traditional
policy and indorse a presidential
candidate. All odds were that the
eight million members would be
urged to vote for the Governor.

THE TROUBLE WITH American

THE TROUBLE WITH American
i air power, according to recent
report of Lyndon Johnson's Senate
Preparedness subcommittee, is that
too much attention has been paid
to "gimmickry and gadgetry," and
not enough to the serious business
OF making planes.
Last week the Nations latest
airborne gimmick, equipped with
various gadgets including one
called television, rose from the
fight deck Of the Navy's 27,000- ton
carrier Boxer and headed for North
Korea. It was an obsolete Grum-
man Hellcat dive bomber, with
1-ton bomb fastened to its belly.
No pilot sat at the controls. The
take-off was directed from the car
rier. AS ! the Hellcat gained alti-
tude, its custody was assumed by
the crew of a mother plane,"
Douglas tAD-2) Skyraider, hovering
nearby.
The two planes disappeared to
the northwest and soon crossed the
Korean coastline. They did not
have to stay together: BY tele-
vision, the technicians in the
mother plane saw what the pilot
would have seen from the Hellcat,
and transmitted their electronic
orders accordingly. AS the drone
approached the target area, a
valley heavily protected by anti
aircraft guns, it was put into .
dive.
BuIIseye
On the television screen in the
mother plane, miles away, the
target loomed larger with each
passing second. Then the screen
suddenly went blank. The Hellcat
and its blockbuster warhead, un-
erringly guided to their rendezvous
with death, had scored a direct hit.
The robot, of course, was de-
stroyed with it's target, but there
were more where it came from. In
other strikes from the Boxer last
week, pilotless kamikazes performed
such feats of accuracy as knocking
the center support from under a
key Communist bridge $50 miles
away, and blocking the mouth of
a railway tunnel. In the latter
instance, the televiSion screen re-
corded the doom of two North
Korean railway workers who, fear
ing they were about to be strafed,
frantically pumped their handcar
into the tunnel just ahead Of the
diving plane.

Britain Comes Around

Britain has declined to join With
Western Europe in federative pro-
grams like the Schuman Plan and
the European Defense Community.
set up to resist communism. She
has preferred to work within the
Commonwealth bloc, rather than
the continental bloc.
At the same time, Britain has
wanted to keep in close touch with
European efforts at integration. To
this end, she suggested last year
that the Schuman Plan and the
EDO. should use for their legis-
latures the Council of Europe,
debating society which Britain has
joined. But the continental coun-
tries decided to ignore the advice
and set up the two legislatures
separately from the Council.
The Europeans were disturbed in
May when the British delegate to
the Council referred, without clari-
fication, to conditions" Britain
would "seek to impose" on Euro
pean integration. But last week
British Foreign Minister Anthony
Eden made 1t clear that the new
European ventures had John Bulls
blessing. Britain, he said, had no
intention Of putting damper on
continental attempts at union. He
told the Council that Britain
wanted to cooperate with the six
nations, though it did not want to
pool any sovereignty with them.
Continental Europeans were re-
lieved that there would be no at
tempt made by England to keep
the Schuman Plan and EDO.
under her thumb.

Missile Offensive?

Thus the long -heralded era Of
pushbutton warfare was ushered IN.
The first steps were crude and
primitive, to be sure-experimental
in nature-but they had been taken.
The long range guided missile-the
device which can seek and destroy
targets while its masters watch in
safety from afar-waS no longer
an idea. It was fact.
Behind news of the event, last
week, came flood of speculation.
1t. Comdr. Lawrence A. Kurtz of
Washington, leader of the 12-man
team which is handling the Boxers
missiles, said the Navy had con-
verted 1900 old planes into robots.
Some of these had been used in
practice and not all were equipped
with television. But enough were
on hand, he said, to mount and
sustain a full-scale assault in Ko-
rea. Moreover, some of the robots
were capable of carrying atom
bombs. Since they could be re-
fueled in the air, it followed that
intercontinental warfare now was
q practical possibility.
"It is just a question Of time"
said Comdr. Kurtz, before the
guided missiles take over aerial
war"
SIopdown
Next day the 33-year-old junior
officer was slapped down by high
brass in the Pentagon. Rear Adj
miral John H. Sides, the Navy's
director of guided missiles, said the
report that we have enough robots
to launch genuine offensive with
them in Korea or anywhere else,
"just is not true"
Reason seemed to be on the
admiral's side. Assuming 1890
missiles like the ones being fired
from the Boxer were available for
use in Korea, the. butter would be
spread pretty thin. Whether
robot fleet of this size could upset
the tight balance of power, even
in that small theater, would seem
questionable.
The fact was, however, that in
the argument over the immediate
significance of the new develop
ment, it's true implications were
largely being ignored.

" Eisenhower were of on new

Get Tough or Get Out?

Actually, there was question as
to the extent of the disagreement
between Eisenhower and Stevenson
over the Nixon affair. No doubt
about it, Ike had been put in an
agonizing spot.
Corruption-the mess in Wash
ington' was the one real issue he
had been able to develop in the
campaign so far. He had made his
position abundantly clear-if sthere

Sham Bottles

The West was rattling four de-
fensive sabres at Russia last week.
In the North Sea, 200 ships and
$1,000 men belonging to nine North
Atlantic Treaty nations were wheel
ing and turning in a mock naval
war. In Germany, 10000 British,
Canadian, Belgian and Dutch
troops were defending the indus
trial Ruhr against simulated at
tacks from an "aggressor" army.
Another $4,000 troops belonging to
France and the United States were
attacking and defending a Rhine
River defense line. In Italy, Al
pine fighters were scaling the
Dolomites to test the defensive
strength of a mountain chain.
Russia could not fail to note that
all these maneuvers were designed
to help find ways to hold the Red
army in check. In case of attack
from Russia, the allies would GER
tainly attempt to defend the indus
trial Ruhr. The Rhine, in turn,
would become major line of de-
Tense. AS last resort, the Alps
and Pyrenees would be held.
The battles themselves were con-
fusing. It was not a clear-cut war
between the defenders" and the
"aggressors." Defenders would fre-
quently change sides and try at
tacking. And "sunken" ship or a
defeated" regiment could, after a
decent interval, get back in the
fight, perhaps under new name.
Combat was stop-and-go PROPOSE
ton, as various tactical maneuvers
were tried and retired.
The NATO observers were not so
concerned with picking the winners
as they were with testing the battle
skill OF participating units.
