government issued a statement
declaring it had assumed Mr..
Petersen's superiors had au-
thorized his activities. The
statement said:
1.-THE association of Neither
lands military personnel with
Mr.. Petersen dates from period
during the Second World War
when close cooperation was es-
tablished between American and
Netherlands agencies dealing
with technical aspects in the
field of secret intelligence.
"In this cooperation between
allies, data of interest to the
departments concerned of both
governments were regularly ex-
changed to the benefit of the
joint war effort.
"This exchange continued dur
ing number of years after the
war, and was conducted on the
side of the Netherlands by gov
ernment officials.
1.-THE Netherlands authorities
concerned could not but assume
that the continuation of this
exchange was known to and au-
thorized by the superiors of Mr..
Petersen"
Dutch Good Faith Seen.
A Defense Department state
ment said the United States "has
no reason to question the good
faith of the Netherlands govern

operation during the inveStiga-
tory period" ....-...
The department added, how
ever, that Mr.. Petersen's activi-
ties were completely unauthor-
lied by his government and were
carried out under his own per-
sonal responsibility without the
knowledge of his superiors and
in violation of the laws of the
United States"

Montana voters are urged to

ChiIe-Peru Fishing Rights

In his recent letter ons "Offshore
Boundaries" Reynaldo Gubbins dis
Germs a note of contradiction in the
assertion by Assistant Secretary of
State Holland that the United States
does not recognize the exclusive fishing
rights of Peru and Chile over mari
time zone of 200 miles off their coasts.
In support of his contention, Mr.. Cub
bins cites the recent leasing by the
United States of oil lands in the Gulf
of Mexico outside the traditional 81
mile belt. ~
But is there a contradiction? What
seems to be overlooked by Mr.. Gubbins
is that the rights asserted by Chile and
Peru in the fisheries of the high seas,
and the rights asserted by the United
States in the natural resources of the
continental shelf (the submerged por-
ton of the visible continent) are not
only different in nature, they are COM
pletely dissimilar from the point of
view Of established rights Of others.
The right of free fisheries on the high
seas is a doctrine we'll embodied in in
ternational law. The United States has
uniformly>adhered to this doctrine and
has refused to recognize claims of other
countries which encroached upon it.
When Peru and Chile undertook to
assert exclusive fishing rights on the
high seas, they were encroaching ON
the historic rights of foreign nationals.
It was against this that the United
States protested.
That no contradiction exists in the
United States position is evidenced by
the latest report of the International
Law Commission to the United Nations
(1953) on the Regime of the High Seas,
in which it is declared that coastal
state exercises over the continental

Changing Human Scene

Former President Herbert Hoover,
speaking in Bonn, expressed the hope that
Germany may play the role of "the bastion
of Western civilization" Many who read
this must have reflected on the great change
in the minds Of men in SO brief time as
the last decade. Mr.. Hoover dramatized
in his words the mutability of human
opinions, the unwisdom of unqualified
dogmatism. In 1914 the common view Of
Germany among Americans was that it was
pariah nation, an outcast from civilization.
A similar attitude prevailed with regard to
Japan. Neither Mr. Hoover nor any other
responsible person would have dreamed
Of suggesting that either OF those Axis
countries could be considered friend or
ally of the United States within ten short
years. Today that is what they are-and
Russia and China, associates in arms in
1914, now are enemies in everything but
name.
But the kaleidoscope Of life inceSsantly
alters How will 1t be a decade hence? Mr..
Hoover cannot say, neither can any Of his
contemporaries Events make us and break
us and make us again, and no man knows
what the end may be.

In ChurchiIrs Honor

If roster of the greatest Britons should
be compiled, it surely would include the
man whom millions of people of many differ
ent races and nations honor today. He
would be mentioned in company with dis
tinguiShed soldiers, statesmen, authors ana
orators with whom it would be natural to
bracket him. But Winston Churchill still
would be himself, defiant of any and every
attempt to classify or pigeonhole him. He
has been nobodys echo, nobody's parallel.
Even though it truly has been said that he
personifed England and undeniably re-
sembles in appearance it's symbol John Bull,
he remains unique. There is no duplicate
of him in available history.
Even Sir Winston himself does not seem
fully to comprehend the processes-and the
accidentally which he has come to fame.
What he is in purpose and practice may be
q summing up of many different values and
many different factors beyond human con-
troll Events indubitably made him, but not
events exclusively. He grew in greatness
under the demand Of compelling circum-
stances, coercive conditions. But he is not
simply product of environment. Some
thing of character and personal qualities,
including his legendary sense OF humor,
must be taken into account. But even then
the explanation of what he is to the free
world will not be entirely plain.

Proposes Superhiehwoy

The interest in roads in this country
is now intense. Americans are on wheels
to greater and still growing extent.
Turnpikes and Superhigh are be-
ing built or planned in a great many
places. But it seems to me that the one
that already is the most needed Of all
and that will be even more necessary
in the future has not yet been proposed.
Let me now do so.
Stretching almost due northeast and
southwest in the northeastern part Of
the United States is what has been
called "the largest city in the world" !"
Actually, at present it comprises sub
stantially straight-line series of large
cities: Boston, New York, Philadelphia.
Baltimore and Washington, D. c.; plus
their suburbs and connecting commu-
mites. These urban communities have
now so expanded and coalesced that
they now form almost a continuous
"supercity." Transportation through
and between these cities becomes more
and more a problem. Thickly popu-
lated and highly industrialized. these
great centers of manufacturing and
trade call in and send forth ever more
goods and people, while traffic gets ever
more congested and goods and people
have an ever harder time to get in and
out and through. Roads between these
cities end up running into said cities
and adding to the traffic problems
there. Since most Of these commune
ties lie at the seaboard, only few by
passes around said communities can
be available on the seaward side. Ex-
amples are u. S. 301 past Washington,
the proposed harbor mouth tunnel past
Baltimore, and the Delaware Memorial
Bridge and the New Jersey turnpike
past Wilmington, Chester, Philadelphia
and Camden
There remains but one place for land
traffic to and by these cities, and that
is farther inland. Fifteen or 20 miles
to the northwest Of and parallel to the
line of the centers of these cities sub
stantially straight highway could and
should be built from point Is or 20
miles northwest of Washington to an
other the same distance northwest OF
Boston, Mass Switch-offs from this
highway could lead into Baltimore. Will
mington, Philadelphia, Trenton, New
York City and the New Jersey cities
of the Metropolitan New York Area,
New Haven, Hartford, Providence. and
other centers adjacent such highway.
Traffic by or past said centers and from
one to the other via the proper switch
offs and sections of the highway could
proceed at full legal speed.
Such highway would, of course. be
a "superhighway" of the type now in
use and under construction in various
States. Or, preferably, it might be at
least three superhighways: One for
passenger cars, one for light trucks and
one for heavy trucks. And each of
these superhighways would be at least
a four-lane divided highway without
grade crossings, stoplights; sharp turns,
steep grades, or slow speed limits. The
separate highways would be far enough
apart so "block- buster" bomb would
not put two of them out Of commission
at once, so that the unharmed sections
could be passed over into and used in
place of lanes that might be destroyed
by enemy action.

essay, no matter how serious 1t may be
in intent
This lightness is really rightness.
It is right because 1t Is thinking as
one thinks, not as some one else de-
mands you think.
There is a great difference, and the
result is the essay. Maybe!
An essay is really stream -of-con-

antedates the modern novel in which
this continuing stream Of thought orig
mated.
One selects a theme. consciously or
unconsciously Cat tines, and lets the
mind play over 1t.
Words thus become the tools Of the
mind, in its search for expression.
Expressing ones thoughts may be as
diverse as a poem, a narrative. a politi-
cal article, an editorial, children's
book. Or an essay.
Man, as writer, has attempted all
forms, and every one who tries to write
finds that one kind Of writing is his
kind of writing.
That Is, he satisfies himself more
with this one type. and as an average
thing satisfies his readers better.

Toduy's Teaching Methods

Because I noticed that my children
were poor readers and atrocious spell
ers, recently accepted an invitation
to attend school open-house in our
area. I soon found that the other
parents had come for similar reasons.
In response to question from one of
the mothers, teacher went into
lengthy, involved details showing how
pupils were now taught to spell. When
she had finished and had not said a
word about phonetics, parent wanted
to know why phonetics were not taught.
The teacher then assured us that pho
neties were taught. and this despite the
evidence of her own presentation.
Further, in the spelling text book used
in school and which have since gone
over very carefully, there were only
few, brief references to phonetics.
This neglect of the science Of pho
netics is highly deplorable. Phonetics
is the basis Of our civilization, giving
us the impetus to move ahead of peoples
held back by picture writing. For
hundreds of years, phonetics has fur
nished the intellectual building blocks
with which young minds have learned
to put together words and taken. dur
ing the process, the first halting steps
toward thinking for themselves. Yet
our educational theorists have in effect
thrown all this away, using the smear
phrase, "old fashioned"
Based on the histories Of dozens Of
cases told me by parents, the results
of this self-styled progressive" educa-
tion begin to come into full bloom when
pupils reach secondary school. Then
the wordy claims of the theorists that
they have developed the best of tech
aiques for creating well-rounded indi-
viduals, crumble into dust before the
facts of distraught parents. illiterate
and frustrated pupils and steady ris-
ing curve Of juvenile delinquency.
