Cold War Gimmick Sounds Good, But Is 1t?

America, is probably the foremost
spokesman for the plan. He says
full recognition of the Ukraine and
Byelorussia would not bolster the
independence myth, first, because
the Kremlin would probably turn
down the offer on behalf Of the
republics; second, the congress
sional resolution urging recognition
clearly states that we do not be-
lieve this myth of independence;
third, no one in the world would be
fooled into believing that our recog-
milton gambit would change in any
way the subject status of the people
in these republics" and, fourth. we
already recognize the Ukrainidn
and Byelorussian governments in
the United Nations, so an exchange
of ambassadors would not change
their status.

would not be in the best interests
of the United States" Here are
the two principal reasons:
First, full diplomatic recognition
would bolster the Soviet lie that
these areas are independent and
are free to stay in the Soviet Union
or withdraw-or stay in, but conduct
their own foreign relations.
Second, American public opinion
would not hold still for further

Cthe two republics" would, of
course, set up independent embassies
in Washington or for further recog-
milton of the Red rulers of the

Soviet Minorities
Another serious objection comes
from spokesmen for some of the
other minority groups in the Soviet
Union. Their position is this:
Almost all people in Soviet Russia,
whether in the 16 republics or in
Great Russia itself, are agreed in
their bitter opposition to the Com
munist regime and, if united against
the Reds, could be q force leading
to the disruption of the Red govern
ment. If the United States pro-
NOTED the idea of independence in
these republics, controversies would
be stirred up all over the U. S. S. r.
These could interfere with the uni
fed opposition to communism.

easily flying" desk as plotting an
airplane.
To equaliZe matters-in the hope
of raising the rated-to-non-rated
proportion-the Air Force now has
eliminated the requirement that fly
ing officers must serve longer active
duty periods than non-f1ierS. Also,
efforts are being made to restore
the World War II pride in Uncle
Sans air arm.
Beginning in September, the Air
Force will require substantially
larger percentage of ROTC students
entering advanced college training
to accept later flight training. BY
the same token, those who duck
flying will find it harder to stay
draft-exempt throughout college.
Whether these steps are sufi-
GENTLY vigorous to rectify the situa-
ton is still somewhat debatable.
Some authorities believe that the
only way to get college students into
the air after graduation is to give
them flight training during under
graduate days. One such program
would give freshmen and sopho-
mores light-plane experience. and
upper classmen advanced-pilot
training. A total of $50 hours in
four years, followed by 80 days
intensive training is believed suffi-
cient to produce rated pilots. Such
a program however. would cost
money-at a time when the Air
Force is being cut, so it says, to the
bone and beyond.

However. since May, 1852. the screws
have been loosened quite a bit.
Against these so-called dark spots
in the German economic picture,
none Of which stands up very well
under scrutiny, the bright ones ap-
pear very clear and significant.
Most impressive of all is the
tremendous expansion Of industrial
capacity and output in the past
five years. Between 1949 and 1852
the gross national COR, as the Ger
mans says. sociaD product rose from
80 to 125 billion marks. Per head of
the population. it amounted to
2,6O6 marks in 1852. as compared to
1,705 marks in 1949.
The overall index of industrial
production reached an unprece-
dented high of 167 1936 equals 100)
in November 1852. Thereafter oc-
Cured the usual seasonal decline,
but in March the index again
reached $50, an increase of 8 per
cent over the corresponding month
of 1852. Perhaps even more sig
niflcant is that the index of pro-
ductivity output rate per work
hour rose by 48 per cent in the
past year. This fact bespeaks in
creasingly efficient use of existing
plant capacity and manpower.
In the production of coal. steel.
chemicals. electrical equipment, ma
chine tools, machines and in new
construction, Western Germany to-
day leads all other nations of conti-
mental Europe.
The output of crude steel has
tripled in five years. From Sc mil
lion tons in 1943. it rose to 1875 mil
lion tons in 1851 and to 15.7 million
last year. At the present moment,

West German steel production is
running neck and neck with Brit
aims, if, indeed, it has not forged
ahead already.
In keeping with this remarkable
industrial boom, unemployment in
recent months has been held down
to a hard core of about l million
(discounting a seasonal increase in

Foreign Trode
But Western Germany's triumphal
return to the world markets repre-
SentS the most striking feature of
its economic comeback in the past
five years
Germany's foreign trade was insig-
niflcant. Imports consisted largely
of foreign aid while exports were
mainly few staples, not all of them
shipped voluntarily.
In the following years, the coun-
try'S foreign commerce expanded
steadily, with imports consistently
running far ahead of exports. 1t
was not until 1851 that a certain
balance was achieved. but even that
year wound up with a small trade
deficit of l49 million marks.
Last year, however, the balance
shifted. In spite of 10 per cent
increase in imports. Western Ger
nlany's foreign trade in 1852 yielded
an active balance of 701 million
marks. Total imports amounted to
1862 billion (as compared to 14.7
billion in 1850, while exports aggre-
gated 169 billion CAST in 1851.
In recent years financing of Ger
man imports through foreign aid has
diminished steadily and from all
indications it will soon vanish COM
pletely.
Machine Builders Set Pace
Among the various branches of
industry which spearheaded the
German export drive last year, ma
chine builders led all others by
wide margin With foreign and
domestic sales totaling 81 billion
marks. the machine-building in
dustry in 1852 accounted for more
than 81 per cent of all German ex-
ports. Well ever one-third of the

A Senate Foreign Affairs subcom-
mittee last week was considering
one of those fascinating cold-war
ideas which would, on first study,
seem to give the United States a
heads-I-win- tails you lose advan-
tage in the fight against commu-
nism.
The scheme is simple and bold:
We merely extend full diplomatic
recognition to the two "independ-
ent" Soviet Socialist Republics of
the Ukraine and Byelorussia. Each
republic" now has its own dele
cation and a vote in the United
Nations, just as if it were free and
independent. Their independence,
of course, is a Soviet fiction.
But if we offer full diplomatic
relationS-aSk to send ambassadors
and open up embassies in the cap
italS'' of Kiev and MinSk-We put
the Kremlin on the spot.
Winner Both Woys
If Moscow says no and does not
permit an exchange of ambaSsa-
dorS. then the Communist leaders
will be admitting that their union"
of independent Socialist Soviet Re-
publics" and the constitution that
calls them independent is SO much
hogWash.
If Moscow says yes. then we
would gain listening posts in two
important areas of the Soviet Union.
And regardless of the way Mos
cow answered, we would have as
sured the UkrainianS and Byelorus-
slams as we'll as all other peoples
under the Communist heel that we
are working toward the day of their
liberation. The restless subject
peoples would be encouraged and
the Kremlin would be faced with
two choices, either of which would
increase internal reStleSsneSS.

Gallant fly-boys, the glamorous
knights Of the wild. blue yonder who
q decade ago inspired q million
dreams Of youthful derring-do, to-
day have lost much of their appeal
to American boys. Among college
students today this change in at
titude is endangering the Air Forces
reserve officer training program.
In 1852, according to Air Force
Brig. Gen. M. K. Diechelmann, only
IL per cent of ROTC graduates ac-
cepted flight training. Seventy per
cent rated officers is the Air Force
ideal.
The mission of the Air Force
ROTC is to serve as a principal
source of junior officers for the re-
serve forces of the U. S. A. F. and
major source for the regular Air
Force" Thus failure of the ROTC
to fulfill its mission as far as pilots
are concerned is matter of real
moment to the Air Force.
Though the 1890 ratio between
f1ierS and non-f1ierS in the Air Force
is ideal, it is not in effect at present.
Current strength is IL per cent rated.
SO per cent non-rated. This situation
already has the Air Force in sweat,
and the indication that the ratio is
becoming more diSadvantageouS is
one of that services top problems.
To meet this situation, the Pen
tagon has several moves in mind.
These schemes, it is hoped, will in

who are willing to wear a real fliers

wheatgrass again proved superior.
After "a days the intermediate va
riety showed a 43 per cent germina-
ton while the crested variety showed
only a "a per cent termination. At
the end of As days the results were:
"a per cent for the intermediate and
ST. per cent for the crested. At the
end of the season the intermediate
variety was half again as tall as the
crested variety and had matured
enough to produce a few seedheads.
The crested had not matured enough
to produce any seedheads until the
following season.
Root Comparison
Root production was the greatest
in the intermediate variety, espe-
cially in the top six inches of soil.
This was due to the production of
rhizomes which gives this plant a
definite advantage in preventing soil
erosion. However, the crested va
riety produced roots which were
finer, more abundarltly branched
and penetrated the soil to a greater
depth. This gives it more drouth
resistant character and enables it to
thrive in dryer areas.
A comparative test was carried out
to determine which variety was able
to maintain itself the best under
grazing conditions. This test showed
that the crested variety could main
tain itself as a better stand under
such conditions for longer time.
There are some stands of crested
wheatgrass which have yielded for
age for as long as Is years. 1t was
determined that for the most uni
form and maximum use the crested
variety should be planted by itself
or with a legume only.
Grazing Tests
A grazing test was carried out at
the Manitou experimental forest near
Fort Collins to determine which va
riety produces the most beef pei
acre. The figures are for the 1856
growing season.

The use of fertilizers can not be
