With the Bowie jockey colony
Of about 60, it's a case of making
hay while Willie Hartack plays,
as the meetings leading rider
waits out a painful To-day sus-
pension which will keep him
grounded until April II.
Forbidding Hartack to climb
on q horses back at a race track
is nearly as drastic as amputating
the left arm which he uses so
effectively in swinging whip to
convince horses it's their duty
TO run for him.
Despite q dizzy rise from an
unknown apprentice at Water
ford Park near Pittsburgh. where
he rode his first winner in 1852,
to a place In the limelight as
Willie Shoemaker's principal
challenger, Hartack has never
lost his boyish enthusiasm for
riding.
Chick Lang, the agent who
obtains all of Hartack's mounts,
In speaking of his boy, says, HE
anaazes me. Every day Is Derby
Day with him. He bounces with
enthusiasm. He can't wait until
the races start each afternoon
and thinks nothing of riding
eight or nine horses a day."
Has Fantastic Memory
Lang. who is almost as close to
fIartack as the riders father and
sister, with whom he lives on a
recently purchased farm near
Charles Town, w. Va, has his
private theory why Willie rides
so many winners.
willie Is q walking racing
form and his memory is on the
fantastic side" the agent said.
1T he rides a horse only once, he
remembers all Of his habits and
he never seems to forget. He
studies every mount he gets and
he uses all Of his knowledge in
the race. He Is a fast thinker
and reacts sharply under pres
sure.
what is even more amazing
to me is that quite often after
riding a winner, he will point out
some other horse that he had
beaten in the race and tell me
to try to get him a mount on
that one the next time the horse
runs. Sometimes he will tell me
the other horse should have won
but that the rider made a mis-
take.
"His Judgment is very good
and we have picked up a lot Of
live horses that way" Lang re-
lates.

Many people will welcome
the perhaps unprecedented
gesture with which the Pres
ident has swept away q very
great deal Of official play-act-
ing about Formosa. It is an
other proof that he is sincere
and serious about keeping the
peace and has no taste for
martial adventures begun on
insecure foundations.
The President is right that
the question Of a Nationalist
invasion Of Red China has
been fully discussed. The dis
cussers have included such
responsible officials as Vice
President Nixon and Admiral
Radford. chairman Of the
Joint Chiefs Of Staff. But it
was off the record. 1t has been
left to the press chiefly to ex-
plain that Americans need not
worry about a China invasion,
that it was an unrealistic hope
Of the Nationalists who must
be given that hope for the
sake of their morale.
The President seems to rec
ognize what a growing num-
ber of Americans are saying.
1t is that there are two
Chinas: The free Chinese ha-
ven on Formosa, which we
shall protect and defend, and
Red China.
The man who has really

Of itself conquer territory for
a government using that
weapon, but it can threaten
such devastation as to make
war impractical. For, when
weapons become so destructive,
the side which wishes to. start
a war must decide not between
victory or defeat as hereto
fore, but between survival or
suicide.
There are always chances
that reckless rulers may start
wars but, as information about
the potential power Of the new
weapons becomes available to
all governments. the probable
ity Of a conflict is reduced
almost to the vanishing point.
The new word in the vocab-
ulary of our times is deter
rent" Aggressors are being de-
TERED and war is being pre-
vented without engaging in
what is known as preventive
war"
All this means is that just
as poison gas was not used in
World War II, though used in
World War I, so atomic bombs
may not be used again, though
they we're used in the last war.
The necessity for secrecy on
the military side prevents gov
ernments at the moment from
discussing the weapons they
do have available. But what
is beginning to be disclosed
little by little is an attitude Of
mind-a confidence in the
power of deterrents already
manufactured and in readiness
for action. War is being pre-
vented today because no ag-
gressor would dare risk an at
tack on the Western world.
That, simply stated. is the
most sensational news Of the
age.

It was MIR. Dulles idea to
keep the islands Of Quemoy and
Matsu in pawn until the status
of Formosa was settled. These
small islands are only a few
miles from the China main
land--unlike Formosa which
is across q wide blue-water
barrier.
Military experts argued fol-
lowing the Presidents press
conference that he had also
effectively knocked out a de-
fense of Quemoy and Matsu
since they could only be de-
Tended by carrying the battle
to the mainland.
In a series Of West Coast
speeches, Senator Humphrey
of Minnesota, a member of
the Foreign Relations Commit
tee, took to the Knowland ter
ritory this argument: It Is
stupid to pretend the Nation
alist Chinese are a great
power; they are our protec-
torate. Their seat in the
United Nations Security Coun-
Gil should be given to demo-
cratic India, which is a major
power. The U. N. Charter
should also be amended to-
give Japan and West Germany
seats on the Security Council.
The Senator said it went

Something indefinable but
Of tremendous significance has
emerged lately which can best
be described as q confidence
that World War III is not i'm
minent nor likely to occur In
the next few years.
Just how long President Eli
senhower and Prime Minister
Churchill have felt this way is
not generally known. But there
Is evidence that some time
within the last few months
both governments came to the
conclusion that it was safe to
maintain conventional arma-
ments at present levels or even
on a reduced basis because the
progress on the nuclear weap-
on side had become almost
fantastic In its potentiality.
Briefly. the concept is that
Soviet Russia not only will not
venture to start q big war but
will restrain her allies. includ-
ing Red China, from doing so.
This means that the United
States and Britain know-and
perhaps the Moscow govern
ment also knows-that the free
world has produced already
enough weapons OF nuclear va
riety to deter any hostile ma
ton from starting a third
world war.
What are these weapons?
Obviously no details can be
given by officials, but 1t is ap-
parent from the published ma
terial and the testimony before
congressional committees that
great reliance is being placed
on the guided missile. It is
conceivable that someday mis-
siles will be shot from Ameri-
can territory which can travel
5000 miles or more to q target.
But already there is a missile
which can go a large part of
that distance and which can
be fired from many of the
bases at which America has
stationed her forces In Europe.

Why, right back in his own

his city attorney. This is grass

speaking through their own
peoples counsel. When public
hearings begin in congressional
committees on bills to exempt
producers, you will find city
consumers represented here by
their counsel. For the latter
it will be quite job; for they
will be pitted against the Ma
tion's giant oil corporations
which produce most of the nat

almost unlimited resources to

That the great majority of

Sir Winston's expectations
for the Communists and the
free nations to live side by
side in q peaceful but conpet-
. tive co-existence have been
fading away rapidly. This ex-
plains his determination to
produce the H-bomb in Eng
land and to speed up, as quick

In the light Of these devel-

Sir Winston told the world
that the free nations superb
ority in the nuclear field will
continue for not more than
two to four years.
The British statesman spoke
about disarmament, this time
with tongue in cheek. He ex-
pressed the hope that the de-.
structiveness Of the new mis-
siles themselves might become
a deterrent, in the same way

of terror and survival the twin
brother of annihilation."
In order to lessen the effects
of the frantic propaganda now
waged in all free countries, that
unless the Communists are APP
peased we will be faced with
destruction by their nuclear
weapons, Sir Winston said
that Moscow would be "ill ad-
vised" to launch such an at
tack within the next three or
four years. He told the intent
listeners in Commons that a
surprise attack from the
SovietS' bases would not pre-
vent immediate retaliation.

in Tuesdays speech In the
House of Commons. intend to
give the USSR q "hint"
that unless an agreement for
the elimination of the A and
H bombs is reached in the
near future, the West might
consider preventive measures?
Fantastic as this may seem,
there are a number Of highly
placed officials in Washington
who believe that such q veiled
warning could be read between
the lines Of the British Prime
Minister'S speech.
Sir winston told Commons
that the USSR had de-
veloped at this time only an
intermediate" hydrogen bomb
and that for the next two to
four years we have a definite
advantage over the Commu-
nists. But after this period.
he predicted. "the Soviet Union
would have more advanced
weapons and the means to
use them against the United
States. It would be folly to
think these would not be en-
ployed in war"
To the average citizen this
part Of Sir Winston's speech
may be just another word pic
ture Of the tragedy which may
befall the world from the de-
structive application Of the
nuclear power. But the ini-
tiated interpret it differently.
Ever since Nikita Khrushchev
vested himself with Stalin's
mantle, Sir Winston has made
his own "agonizing reapprais-
al" concerning the immediate
aims of the new regime in
the Kremlin. The result has
been, according to high quar-
ters in Washington, a 180-
degree turn in his policies
toward the Communists.
In the last few weeks Sir
Winston has been remarkably
silent over q Big Four meeting
"a subject he never failed in
the past to bring up at the
slightest opportunity. He is
known to have changed his
tune even in regard to the
war threat which exists today
