At the moment it is more of move
ment than party. For many years a sub
stantial number of people throughout the
United States have been in disagreement
with the trends in both of the dominant
national parties. These people associated
themselves in loosely organized groups,
awaiting time when by consolidation some
effect could be exerted upon the ultra
liberal political PHILOSOPHERS. now preva-
lent in the national parties.

destined to have its effect first in the Ia
states where the names of Andrews and

However. it would be unrealistc to depend
entirely upon the showing of the States
Rights party in the coming election, as
there are many voters who will as a mat

next Monday in Richmond It's influence
can be of considerable moment in the
period Just ahead, and its lasting influence
in the years to come may be the rallying
point for conservative future government
and the salvation of constitutional govern

movements national political parties have
developed. We may witness the beginning
Of a new party or realignment of existing
parties. Certainly both results are possible.
At the convention Monday many issues

candidates will be aired. Since the States

National platforms of the Democratic
and Republican parties define no sharp
differences in the ma or issues. Each plat
form contains certain announcements, es
pecially on fundamental issues. which allow
voters little, if any choice. Therefore. it is
inevitable that an independent political
movement should come into being. Whether
it will become a third party. or will cast

Universal Problems

LROM NEW YORK comes the appalling
picture Of gang wars and juvenile de-
linquency which certainly does not help
contradict the Soviet claim that cities like
New York are breeding grounds for hood
lums and gangsterism, among this coun-
try's melting pot population
Officials of the New York City Youth
Board have admitted that new public hous-
ing projects have increased juvenile delin-
quency as different ethnic groups are mix
ed in previously segregated communities.
Moreover, James f. Mccarthy. deputy
executive director Of the New York City
Youth Board. recently admitted:
I'VE must face the fact that the slums
of New York. in which the juvenile gangs
flourish, are mostly segregated - black
ghettos Puerto Ricans Irish. Italian ghet-
tos. In the few mixed areas. like the Lower
East Side. where the most recent gang war
was threatened, the boy gangs are mixed.
1t was also admitted by Mccarthy that
some of the gang wars in New York have
been going on for long time: many be-
tween Puerto Rican gangs. between Negro
gangs between italian gangs or Irish gangs
etc
Officials also admitted that ethnic
groups, and the young gangs, tend to seq
regate themselves. For instance, it was adj
mtted that Puerto Rican boys who lived
between Third and Fifth avenues, in the
vicinity OF 10th street, for example. do not
dare swim in public pool in Jefferson
park.

4 Next War Casualty

WHILE HIS WIFE waited for results on
her husbands flight in the NJ Air
Force Captain Miburn G. Apt. alone in the
new experimental supersonic fighter, was
released over California at 10000 feet. The
X-2 had been carried to this height by a
large B-50 bomber and Captain Apt took
over at that attitude.
The NJ had already chalked up some
sensational speed records and was per
haps the most breath-taking of the new
fighter models being tested by the Air
Force. 1t was Captain Apis first flight in
the rocket-powcred aircraft and it turned
out to be his last
Less than two minutes from the mo-
ment he detached himself from the B-50
bomber, his supersonic experimental fight

awaited news.
The interesting thing about this flight
was that Apt was doing what several pilots

SHORTAGE OF SCIENTISTS

We definitely are losing the
cold war with Russia on one
front-the Soviet is turning out
scientists and engineers at a
much faster pace than the U.S.A.
In May, Harlow H. Curtice,
General Motors president, at the
dedication of that company'S
new Technical Center, sounded
this warning: To-day we are be-
ing put to a competitive test, a
struggle for survival. We are
being challenged in this one area
of chronological progress that
we have come to regard as the
source of. our greatest strength.
We must see to it that a larger
proportion of our young people
have the opportunity and the in
centive for embarking on a sci
entific or engineering career"
DR.. Lawrence R. Hafstad, di-
rector of General Motors re-
search staff, emphasized the
warning of his Chief as follows:
"Our choice is brutally clear.
AS society, we can either learn
mathematics and science - or
Russian"
American business enterprise
has proved the value Of research
Industries applying scientific
methods and using modern ap-
pliances have made the greatest
progress and have paid the high
est wages. But, today the proper
ton of American students taking
courses in science is smaller than
ever before. Provisions must be
made on an extensive scale to
encourage our young people to
study science. To repeat the
warning of DR.. Hafstad: I'VE can
either learn mathematics and sci
ence-or Russian"
