Weapons
Ronqe Extended

AS speculation on the relative
position of the United States
and Russia in advanced air weap-
ons reached a new intensity this
week, the United States an
lnounced plans to extend its
South Atlantic missile testing
range to length of 5000 miles.
The extension was made pos
sible by new agreement with
Britain, giving the United States
permission to fire missiles over
the British Bahamas and distant
Ascension Island, halfway be-
tween Africa and South Amer
lea.
Previously the range stretched
from Patrick Air Force base in
Florida to Puerto Rico, only
about 1000 miles.
The extension of the range
implied that the United States
is nearing the time when it will
be testing missiles of much
greater range than those already
tried out. The American arsenal
already includes two intercon-
tinental missiles, the Shark and
the Navajo. Both of these weap-
ons employ souped-up jet en-
gines, and only the Navajo is
lsupersonic.
The United States now has
only one operating ballistic mis-
siIe, the Arrny's Redstone rocket.
Its present range is about 500
miles. The Redstone is serving
as an intermediate project in
Joint Army-Navy development
of 1,500-mile ballistic missile.
The Atlantic missile test range.
about 40 miles wide, is lined
with. installations of radar and
!other instruments to track the
weapons on their courses. Mill
tary men contend there is no
danger either to islands on the
route or nearby shipping. An
electronic device permits instant
destruction of a missile if it goes
of course. i,

source of domestic friction by
payment of an Iceland duty on

Whatever moves the Iceland
government now takes, Western
sources said a special NATO
meeting might have to be called
to consider the new situation.
In Washington, Secretary of
State Dulles said the result of
the election is likely to be a re-
duction in number of US. troops
in Iceland and possibly at other

Commonwealth Maps Future

Both Sir Anthony and Prime
Minister Nehru of India are in
a position to give the conference
an up-to-date analysis of Soviet
foreign, economic and political
policy aims. Each has had recent
direct contact with Soviet Pre-
mier Bulganin and Communist
party chief Nikita Khrushchev.
Arguments Likely
With this as a starting point,
the prime ministers will search
for some common approach
aimed at achieving international
accord. There are sure to be
arguments. however, since there
is a fundamental difference be-
tween the views of neutraliSt
India and Ceylon and the re-
Milford chronicle., 1956-07-06

was that they weren't consider
ing anyone except Eisenhower,
and they said it in a manifesto
of 200, with one strong Eisen-
hover supporter missing. The
pledge was circulated with the
approval of the White House.
There was no intimation that
the President had made up his
mind about running, but circula-
ton of the pledge would GER
tainly have been a loves labor
lost if Howard Pyle, White
House representative at the con-
ference, had not thought it
would mean something.
"Overpowering" Strength
On the Democratic side an
Associated Press poll indicated
Stevenson would go to the con-
vention with what APPS vet
eran political observer, Jack
Bell, called an "overpowering
400 of the 68612 votes needed,
The last AP tabulation of
pledged delegates and first
ballot preferences actually an
nounced gave Stevenson 30l ",
Estes Kefauver 165 and Aver
ell Hartman 110l2. Bell re-
ferred to Hartman as gaining
some from what he called Ke-
fauver's practical demise"
The estimate at Atlantic City
was based on the forecasts of q
Democratic governors that their
states would support Stevenson,
which would put him over if he
got even half of the Democratic
delegates from Republican-gov-
erned states.
There were still some observ-
ers, however, who counted on
the Democratic tradition for one
or more good hassles to keep the
convention open.
AT any rate there are enough
serious candidates, favorite sons
and vice-presidential aspirants

Imainder of the Commonwealth
partners.
Among the internal problems
facing the ministers is the cues
ton of future members, arising
due to the coming independence
of the Gold Coast and Malaga
and expected later emergence
from colonial status of such ter
ritories as Nigeria and the Car
Iibbean federation of West Indian
islands.
Both the Gold Coast and Nj
geria, all-Negro countries, want
to become full members of the
Commonwealth. Asia members
are said to support their claims.
The other partners are reported
lheSitant.
Trouble in Ceylon
Also of major Importance are
expected discussions between
Premier Bandaranaike of Ceylon
and Eden about the future of
British air and naval bases in
ICeylon. Bandaranaike has said
he wants Britain to give them
up as part of his neutralist con-
lception of Ceylon as an asian
Switzerland"
The Ceylon bases now ensure
British command of the Indian
ocean and form an important
link IN the British defense line
to the Far East. With the lifeline
Through the Mediterranean al
ready endangered by events on
Cyprus and in the Middle East,
Eden is not likely to yield Will
Iingly to a move which also
would put England at q dlsad-
vantage in Asia.

/ Secondly, the Soviet govern
ment gives science and technol-
ogy top priority in all devel-
opment plans. Soviet scientists
recently told American scientists
who We're visiting Moscow that
when they determine they need
a new piece of experimental
equipment, even though it be
vast and very costly. all they
have to do is to tell the govern
Iment about it and the funds are
Iallecated without question.
Thirdly, Russia has strong
and long scientific tradition.
Russian science did not begin
with the Bolshevik revolution.
| On the contrary, the Communists
took over a Russian science
which had already given to the
world such figures as Dmitri
Mendelyeev, who first worked
out the table of atomic elements,
and many other men who are
world famous.
Economy Well Developed
In the fourth place, the Soviet
Union has nowadays well-de-
veloped economy which is
Equipped to put to use scientific
and chronological discoveries and
exploit their possibilities in rapid
order.
Lastly, the Soviet government
by virtue of its totalitarian So
Icialist organization of the Soviet
economy and the very great
powers which it possesses over
the entire apparatus of the coun-
try can concentrate human and
material resources along lines of
effort which are most important
to it-as for example aviation,
guided missiles and nuclear en-
lergy-to a degree which is not
possible for Western democratic
governments. This is little ap-
preciated fact and does much to
explain the rapidity of Soviet
scientific breakthroughs on vari-
Gus fronts.
Efforts Pay OFF
Given these various factors the
fact that the Soviet Union is
scoring scientific aI.la. .echnologi-
cal successes is not surprising.
These successes represent the
fruition of long and intense
efforts.
One of the most recent de-
velopments reported in the So
Wet scientific field is pre2ara-
ton for an apparent attempt
by the Soviet government to
attract foreign scientists to work
in the Soviet Union. II one re-
how much foreign sci
entists have contributed to i'm
portant American scientific de-
velopments-such as, for exam
pie, the discovery of methods OF
putting atomic energy to use
one can see the potentialities Of
this move.

stress two important facts abou'
the Soviet Union.
l. The U.S.S.R. is making rapid
scientific and chronological prog
ress.
2. The U.S.S.R. is simultane-
ously manifesting an increasing
Willingness to show some of this
scientific and chronological prog
ress to the outside world.
US. Budget Increased
Although the action had nc
direct connection with the Twin
ing visit, it seemed meaningful
that the us. Senate added near
ly a billion dollars to the US
Air Force budget while tbs
Reds were showing off their all
'prowess. 1t was one of the sharp
est rebuffs the DemocratIc-con-
trolled Congress had handed the
Eisenhower administration.
Eisenhower's lieutenants hao
Iunsuccessfully argued that the
extra money for the Air Force
was not needed. Senators re-
jected a move to hold the boost
20 only a half billion dollars by
a vote Of 48 to 40.
Much has been written in re
cent months about the Soviet
scientific threat to the United
States. This is hardly surprising.
Soviet scientific and technology
cal capabilities are phase of
Soviet potential which in the
past have never been adequate
ly appreciated by most people in
the West. Therefore every time
the Soviet Union turns up with
something new and startling this
comes a a surprise or even a
shock.
More Surprises Likely
And since the Soviet scientific
and chronological surprises are
likely 10 continue, the discussion
of this subject is also likely to
continue-and intensity. In this
regard it would be wise to keep
in mind certain basic facts.
One of these is the wealth of
Soviet scientific anG technology
cal resources. The Soviet Union
has a large population-some
200 million. Among them, as his
tory has demonstrated, there are
with creative talent. The
Soviet Union has a big educa-
tional system which embraces
nowadayT all children and young
people aid many adults as well
and gives them an opportunity
to develop their scientific and
chronological talent. The Soviet
state has at its disposal large
funds and resources of materiel
which it can use for achieve
ment of scientific and technology
cal successes.

home in Gettysburg, Pa, did
cause the President to indefinite
ly postpone another engagement.
Prime Minister Nehrn of India
had been scheduled to fly into
Washington from London July Z
for discussions with Eisenhower.
After Nehru cabled his reiuc-
tance to place the President un-
der any strain before he had
fully recovered and suggested
postponement, Eisenhower re
piled that he could not "be en-
tirely free of doubt as to wheth-
er his recuperation would be far

Nehru could arrange to meet
Eisenhower at a later date dur
ing his current tour of Europe

No Word on Future
Whether Eisenhower will an

uncertain. White House Press

wheat between stones, blending all
parts of the kernel together.
The stone grinding of wheat gave
way to the steel roller mill about 1880.
The steel rollers made possible
cleaner separation of the inner part Of
the wheat kernel from the bran layers
and the nearly complete removal of
the germ. The result was a white loaf
of bread with a fine texture. Appar-
emily it was what the people wanted.
A preference for white bread devel-
Oped with the first introduction of white
flour and it holds true today.
In the United States the practice of
breadmaking has largely moved from
the home to the community or COM
mercial bakery. 1t is estimated that
40, 0O0, 900 loaves of bread are consumed
daily. Of this amount, perhaps less than
10 per cent is made in the home. Per-
hapS more than 10 per cent of our
hOmemakers make some bread, but
many of those who do purchase some
bread also.

STYLES IN BREAD? Preposterous!
Bread doesn't change in style. Fashion
is for clothes and houses and automo-
biles and things like that. Maybe so,
but suppose we just take a look at
bread.
What picture comes to your mind
when you think of loaf of bread? The
chances are pretty good thai you will
visualize a loaf of white bread, SYM
metrical in shape, rounded on top, and
nice golden brown color, light in
weight in proportion to the size, and a
tender, elastic crumb.
Now let us flip the pages of the
calendar back 5000 or 1000 years and
try to get picture of the bread made
by the Swiss Lake Dwellers. They made
bread from unleavened porridge paste,
spread on hot stones to bake. When
baked it was a flat sheet that was
heavy, tough and hard.
Stone Grind
Quite change in style; but after all,
1000 years is quite long time. Sup
pose we flip the calendar back again,
but not quite so far. Less than CEN
fury ago, the millers were still grinding
Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-11-15

families interviewed purchased some
bread. A similar survey of families in
four cities in the United States (1948)
showed SO per cent of all households
purchasing some bread. Only % per
cent purchased any whole wheat bread.
The past century has seen other de-
velopments, or changes, in flOur-an
essential ingredient in the staff of life.
During the milling process, about %
per cent of the wheat kernel is dis
carded. The part that is discarded con-
tains valuable food nutrients that are
lost for human consumption. 1t may
appear that a flour made from the
whole grain would be more nutritious
than white flour. This is true to
certain extent. But we should not over
look the fact that along with the valu-
able food nutrients discarded, there are
also discarded compounds that are def
initely undesirable from the standpoint
of human nutrition.
Neither should we overlook the fact
that efforts of nutritionists to educate
the public on any added nutritional
benefits from the use of whole wheat
bread met with little success. The con-
Sumers wanted white bread.
Enriched FIOurs
Recognizing the important place of
bread in the human diet, ways were
sought to return to flour some of the
nutrients lost during the milling proc
ess. Enrichment was the answer.
The practice of enrichment was insti-
tuted during World War II as a war
measure and has been continued on
voluntary basis by the baking industry
after the wartime restrictions were
lifted. 1t is now required by state laws
in 26 of our states and followed volun-
tarily in most of the other states.
All products labeled Enriched must
comply with federal standards. The
program requires the addition of thia-
mine, riboflavin, niacin and iron, with
definitely stated minimum and maxi
mum per pound of bread.
Added Food Values
In addition to the enrichment pro-
gram, the baking industry has greatly
improved the nutritional qualities of
breads and bakery goods by the addi-
ton of such products as dried milk
solids, soy bean meal and other natural
food products. The home breadmaker
can improve the nutritive value of her
bread by the use of enriched flour, dry
milk solids, liquid milk, soy flour and
other natural food products.
Wheat flour is the principal ingredient
