search are essential in national
survival and to the growth and
survival Of American business. I"
DR.. Robert D. Calkins of the
Brookings Institution of Wash
ington said today.
He addressed the Stanford
Business Conference.
DR.. Calkins said that from a
national viewpoint, the country
must press forward in technolog-
ical improvements or 1t may be
ont-distanced by other countries.
1--WE must rely on archaeological
superiority instead of manpower
for preparedness and defense in
the event of war because the
Communist bloc has superiority
in manpower," DR.. Calkins said
j. Donald Watson, professor
OF finance at the University of
Maryland, discussed problems
confronting buyers Of accident
and health insurance.
He said in his prepared adj
dress that this. form of insur-
ance is still in the formative
stage and 'has not gotten
through the adolescent period. /"
More than two thirds of all in
surance complaints. he said, fall
within this coverage.

Reds CouIdn't Have Been
Checked, Admiral SAYS
by the Associated Pres.

CHARLESTON, w. Va. July
22.-Admiral Felix B. Stump.
commander of the Pacific Fleet.
said last night it would have
been impossible for the United
States to prevent a Communist
victory in Indo- China.
A native of Parkersbure. Ad-
miral Stump spoke at a dinner
given in his honor at which he
was presented with the West
Virginia Distinguished Service
Medal.
In addition to his remarks on
1ndo-China, the admiral praised
Syngman Rhee, President of the
Republic of Korea, as "a great
man and a great leader dedi-
Gated to the opposition of COM
muniSm."
Admiral Stump emphasized
that his opinions did not repre-
sent those of the Joint Chiefs of
Stan or of the Defense Depart
ment.
Referring to the situation in
Indo-China, where a newly
signed truce has stopped the
fighting, Admiral Stump said
very few Of the French admins
traitors in that country were
strong against the Communists.
He said the mass of the Indo-
Chinese were illiterate and were
not opposed to the Communists
who had played on their feelings
against French imperialism"
