BERKELEY, Calf. Dec. 31.-
The United States may be sacri-
ficing its greatest advantage In
the present world "stalemate" e"-
freedom Of thought and express
sion, which constitutes the out
standing asset Of democracies.
This was the warning Of DR.
Vannevar Bush, president Of the
Carnegie Institution of Washing
ton and chief of the Nation &
scientific research program dur
ing World War II, before the
American Association for the
Advancement of Science here last
night.
At the same time, DIR. Bush
warned, this country must main
tain a striking force superior to
that Of any potential enemy and
defenses to insure against q
crippling, and perhaps fatal, sur
prise attack. The military. he
said, does not appear sufficiently
aware of the second requirement

occasion of the award of the
$1,000 william Proctor Prize of
the Scientific Research Society
of America.
Sees Stalemate.
With respect to world affairs.
DR.. Bush said his own opinion
is that the best which can be
hoped for is a stalemate for
some years.
"The world" he said, will re-
main for a time evenly divided,
it's halves poised for mutual an
initiation. Secondary wars will
continue with restricted means,
as in Korea and Indo- China. But
the great bombing fleets will be
held in leash. Always present
will be the danger that they will
be unleashed by some mad ac-
ton or by simple accident.
"Our nerves will become in
creasingly taut and we shall be
tempted to seek the delusive
relief offered by totalitarian gov
ernment, authoritarianism, OBJ
scurantism, thought control. We
shall be ever threatened by the
panic of fear. I see no better
outlook in the near offing."
The free world, DR.. Bush said,
is under one great disadvantage
compared to the potential enc
my, because it would be impos-
sible to launchpa surprise attack
without declaration of war, while
a totalitarian government would
not be so deferred.
But, DR.. Bush stressed, If the
present crisis can be weathered.
perhaps for as long as single
tense generation, there is a good
prospect for the end of all wars
and fair hope for an era OF
peace and unparalleled pros
perity.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Heavy-
weight Champion Rocky Marci-
ano and Ezzard Charles. the for
mer champion, will make 1t ON
cial today when they sign formal
contracts for return fight at
Yankee Stadium September Is.
An agreement on the date was
made yesterday during a confer
ence between AL WE'LL, Marcia
nos manager, and James T. Nor
ris, president of the Information
al Boxing Club. A September II
date at the Polo Grounds also
was mentioned in the confer
ence, but the earlier Yankee

had agreed to fight Marciano
anywhere, any time"
Television Still Undecided.
Still undecided is the television
question, but it appears home
viewers will miss this one as
they did the earlier Marciano-
Charles battle June II. Approx
imately S125,00 was brought in
by the theater closed circuit TV
on that occasion, and it's likely
even more could be expected this
time for the return showing of
what proved a good fight.
The contracts being prepared
for today's signing ceremonies
at the Office of the New York
State Athletic Commission call
for the same pay scale the two
fighters got last time. Marciano
will get 20 per cent Of the net
proceeds and Charles 20 per
cent.
Using that scale, Marciano col
lected $247.136 and Charles
$123,568 last June. Norris said
he expects this fight to do at
least as well financially as did
the June affair, which crossed
$543, ,092 from 1885 customers
in addition to TV and radio
money.
MarcianO's Cut Healed.
The cut Marciano received
over his left eye in that fight
has completely healed, and the
champion already is in training
at Grossinger, N. Y. Charles
will set up his camp at Month
cello. N. Y, about IL miles from
Grossinger, after today's signing.
Marciano was a unanimous
decision winner by good mar
gin when they first met in June,
though he failed to drop Charles
once during the Is rounds. He
already has been quoted as an
early 1-to-3 favorite for a re-
peat victory.
When he steps into the
Yankee Stadium ring next
m onth. against Marciano,
Charles will become the first ex-
heavyweight champion to have
= three chances at regaining the
title. He had return shot at
Jersey Joe Walcott, the man to
whom he dropped the bauble, be-
fore getting his first crack at

He weighs 205 pounds, only
