There are roughly three classes
of workers in the chronological
vineyards Of the Soviet Union and
the United States: College graduate
scientists and engineers: below col
lege-graduate or semiprofessional
technicians. who usually become
engineering aides or foremen; and
others of the lower levels, usually
Jumped together and called skilled
manpower. A fourth category is
sometimes added-semiskilled man.
power-although the differentiation
from skilled is inexact.
Top Government officials in this
country have already warned that
the Soviet and American pools of
college-graduate scientists and en-
gineers now are roughly of the same
size-60,000 apiece, and that the
Reds are producing IL million in
the decade ending in 1860, compared
to our 100000.
The National Academy of
Sciences painstaking research into
Soviet engineer technicians of be-
low-college-graduate level indicates
the Soviet Semiprofessional, fore
man-type engineers numbered
roughly 100000 in 1850. In the
same year the United States Census
Bureau reports this country had
about 850,000 foremen (the closest
comparable group. in the opinion
OF Government officials. Both are
probably close to a million TODAY.
Red QuoIity Superior
But the Russians quality is be-
lieved to be superior. All Soviet
semi-professional engineers, who
quickly become foremen. take
a four-year "technicum" course.
They are taught calculus and ana
lytic geometry. They get lots of
engineering theory. The Ameri-
cans go to school only two years
and the studying is much less
rigorous. Americans have much
shorter hours, and sometimes less
time on the practical side than
their Soviet counterpartS.
The Soviet Union is closing the
100.000-man gap in semi-profes-
sional engineers rapidly, by grad
uating many more than the United
States each year. The Reds may
go out in front in a year or two.
Mr.. Dewitt reports that annual
engineering ''technicum" gradua-
tions in the Soviet Union averaged
$4,000 in the 1946-50 period. Pro-
jections from his figures would in
dicate that while there may have
been a lull from 1950-52, squirt
has followed. The 1854 gradu-
ating class probably numbered
around $4,000. The 1855 class was
about $4,000.
In 1854 American graduates from
vaguely comparable schools num-
bered only 10000 This June there
were about $4,000; next year there
will be about $4,000. No program
Is planned that would increase
the American graduation rate

markedly in the next decade. So
the Reds should go forging ahead.
At the lower levels the United
States probably has an advantage,
although there are no statistics to
bear this out. Basis for the as,
sumption, however. seems sound.
The American economy, measured
in gross national product, is about
three times the size of that of the
Soviet Union. Even granting that
there is more concentration on
heavy industries where college
graduate and undergraduate engi-
neers are needed, the American
pool probably is considerably
larger.
The United States, according to
the 1850 census, had around z mill
lion in this skilled and semi
skilled category. By now it is
probably closer to 8 million. Three
flfths of these got their training on
the Job, rather than in schools.
The Soviet Union also has on
the-Job training for the lower lev
els, but not so extensive as in this
country. Nevertheless. with the
heavy emphasis on mathematics
and science in the secondary
schools. the Reds should soon catch
up even here
To summarize. the Soviet Union
already has achieved a relative
parity with the United States in
top and medium levels of engineer
ing skills, and is, by the vague
measurements now possible. closing
In on the lower levels.

Foteful Letter
Beyond question, the national
elections we're precipitated by the
thunderbolt revelation in parliment
last month by the opposition leader
In the House. DR.. H. v. Evatt. that
he had, as Leader Of the Labor
Party, corresponded directly with
Foreign Minister Molotov in Mos
COW on the historic Petrov docu-
ments. The shock Of this revela-
ton was heightened by the frank
admission that the correspondence
had been carried on without the
knowledge or consent OF the Au-
stralian Foreign Oftice.
The case Of Vladimir Mikyailovich
Petrov, third secretary in the Rus
sian Embassy at Canherra, has been
smoldering in Australia since the
early spring of 1854, when the Soviet
diplomat renounced communism and
turned over to Australian security
authorities a wagonload of docu-
ments tracing out Kremlin spy acti-
yities throughout ell Australia. Pet
rov later put his narrative into q
book which has enjoyed a tre-
mendous sale here.
A special commission in inquiry
was appointed by the government to
report on the full range and scope
of Communist infiltration. This re-
port, last August, traced the Kremlin
network in Australian labor, edu-
cation. press and civil service.
Opposition Leader Evatt's declar-
alton before the house last month
was, In brief. a statement from
Molotov that the Petrov documents
we're only clumsy forgeries. The roar
Of indignation which greeted DR..
Evatt's revelation made the on
coming election irlescapable. In the
words Of the influential Sunday
Times Of Perth, the principal
Menzies supporter In Western Aus
tralia, "the Petrov affair now has
become the Evatt-M Molotov affair"
There cannot be q cold appraisal
Of the rights or wrongs of the Evatt
approach to his former friend of the
United Nations Assembly" explained
the Times. "The emotional reac-
ton was too vast and spontaneous.
Fever for an election rose within an
hour Of the Evatt speech"

''in an effort to cut the losses which
the Labor Party must suffer in the
federal election" according to the
Times. The editor alluded to the
Molotov correspondence as an Tex
traordinary blunder" by DR.. Evatt--
particularly his own unquestioning
acceptance Of the Molotov assur-
ances.
Some Labor members in Can
berra argue that Labor never can
win a federal election while DR..
Evatt remains leader. Labor men,
bers of the New South Wales Par
Lament have already made 1t clear
that they do not want any help
from DR.. Evatt in their state elec-
ton December 81"
The Labor Party revolt against
DR.. Evatt appears more vociferous

ulous state in the federation and the
citadel of Labor political strength.

during which some 200 fires were
fought only by volunteers, police
men and passersby on the streets.
At the same time Sydney's water

dockers strike which was described
on all fronts as familiar Commu-
mist tactic, unsanctioned by respon-
sible union spokesmen. and repudi-
ated even by several of the long
SIlOFeLueIl LOCALS.
Out of this annoying complex OF

Prosperity Wove
The elections come at a moment
when all Australia is riding robust
wave of prosperity, with actual la
Dor shortages in several of the
larger cities.
The Menzies government, since
July, 1854. has keynoted strong
national unity and collective de-
fense alliance against Asiatic ag-
gression, policies which have at
tracted. on several notable occasions
in Parliament, some support among
moderate Laborites.
Most experienced political observ-
ers insist that Labor should have
been united for the national cam

DR.. Evatt has now insisted upon
keeping his post as opposition
leader In Canberra. Most of the
Labor Party has rallied behind him.
to give him one last chance.
But II Labor loses the election

In anticipation Of tomorroW'S
opening of the long-awaited White
House Conference on Education,
two top-level administration figures
last week put the spotlight on a
sobering, even humiliating situa-
ton: Soviet education is outstrip-
ping Americas in the crucial fields
Of science and engineering.
Our atomic submarine pioneer,
Rear Admiral Hyman G. Rickover,
warns that unless the crisis in ed
ucation is dealt with promptly and
effectively, we will be in danger Of
losing the cold war by default"
And Atomic Energy Commission
Chairman Lewis L. Strauss reports
that 'In five years our lead in the
training of scientists and engineers
may be wiped out, and in 10 years
we could be hopelessly outstripped.
Unless immediate steps are taken
to correct 1t, situation, already
dangerous. within less than a dec
ade could become disastrous.
The National Security Council
calculates that in five years the
Soviet Union will have a pool of
scientists and engineers so much
larger than ours that the Reds will
assume the chronological leader
ship that the United States has
enjoyed in the development of
military weapons up to now.
With publication this month of
Nicholas De Wits book on Soviet
Professional Manpower" published
by Once of Scientific Personnel,
National Academy Of Sciences), the
breadth of the crisis appears to be
widening. Not only are the Rus
SLAMS graduating more scientists
and engineers from colleges. they
are also turning out more tech
nicians.
PIons and Machines
To oversimplify: Engineers and
scientists think up the blueprints;
but it takes qualified technicians
in the factories to turn the blue
prints into good machines.
We are already in mortal peril of
turning out only second-best blue
prints. 1t may not be long before
our highly touted pool of skilled
manpower will be taking a back
seat to the Russians.
The danger is not only that the
Soviet technician pool will soon
match or exceed ours in numbers.
but also that. through intensive
effort. the quality of the Reds
skilled manpower and the concen-
trdtion on military uses will enable
the Kremlin to turn out signifi-
cantly better equipped armed forces
than ours.
One complicating factor in as
sessing the crisis is the softneSs Of
statistics, not only on the Soviet
side, but on the United States as
well. Not exact numbers, only gen.
eral orders of magnitudes. can be
given. Before the National Acad-
emy Of Sciences did its study. even
approximations were impossible.
Some of the projections which
are made here. on the basis Of Mr..
De Wits book and statistics from
Am erican Government sources.
probably will be criticized by pre-
else statisticians. But for the pol
icyrnaker and the taxpayer, the
figures will at least point UP the
general problems.
Only technicians in the engineer
ing field will be compared in this
article, since these are the most
closely related to national security.
