Missile Firing A-Sub

For several years the US.
Navy has been firing relatively
short range guided missiles from
submarines in preparation for
the advanced phases of push
button warfare.
This week the Navy Depart
ment disclosed it was going
ahead with plans for a new
strategic weapon-a nuclear-
powered submarine capable of
launching missiles. Officials said
it is too early to say what size
and type of missile will be fired
from the A-boat, but the United
States is in a race with Russia
to develop ballistic missiles with
l,500 and 5000 mile ranges.
Originally the Navy planned
to build a con yentionalIy pow
cred sub for use as a missile

be a mere formality.
Jubilation Not Universal
Not all of Eisenhower's rank

liant over his decision as were
the arty politicians. A great

idea that, since the cause of his

however, were indicated by the
firs5saction from Sen. Kefauv-
er, for the moment, at least,
their second man. He said
Eisenhower's candidacy would
be a good thing, since he was
the one who should defend the
Republican record.
The next move expectable
from the Democrats IS IN effort

divergencies. They know they'll
have to be at the peak of vigor

VISITOR: italian President on US. Tour
White House Guest

In the first visit of an Italian
chief of state to North America,
President Giovanni Gronchi ar
rived in Washington this week
for a round of business and So
cial meetings at the start of a
two-week goodwill tour of the
United States.
Gronchi and his advisors be-
gan with long meeting with
PresidentS. isenhower and other
high US. officials at the White
House. Although the official re-
port On the talks was couched
in general terms, there was
evidence that President Gronchi
advanced views looking toward
greater participation by the
United States in the develop
ment Of the Italian economy, a.
greater voice for Italy in NATO
affairs. and more consideration
by the Big Three Western pow
ers for the problems of the
smaller nations adhering to the
Atlantic alliance.
The White House conference
was originally planned as a.
private affair between the two
heads Of state. The inclusion
of other officials seemed to indi-
cate the discussions covered a
wide range of problems.

Explains Intentions
At his news conference, the
President didn't exactly an
|nounce his candidacy. He is
known to feel that President
should not run" in the ordi-
narily accepted sense. He told
the people how he felt about
himself.
He said Ae wasn't sure whether
lshe Republican party or the peo-
pie wanted him.

course, has been writhing in its

that he was lost to it. He could

Professional Touch
Eisenhower added a couple Of
touches to his announcement
which he might have overlooked
a few years ago. He declined to
say whether he wants Vice Presi-
dent Nixon in that job again
but he stopped to extoll Nixon's
virtues, regardless.
He also took occSsion to re-
mind his listeners that, although

was vigorously criticized. Both
these men remained in the party
Presidium. But this, it seems
likely, is because Khrushchev is
willing to tolerate them there
for a time at least.
Department of Rehabilitation
2. The most interesting devel-
opment at the Congress saw
Anastas Mikoyan openly criticize
Joseph Stain by name-the first
time this has ever been done
since Stain rose to supreme
power. Not only this but Mi
koyan called for rewriting of
Soviet history to right the
wrongs done to some at least of
the victims of Stains great
purges. This assault on Stain
and his purges has all sorts of
implications.
The question has to be asked
Just how far the present Soviet
leaders can afford to go in re-
habilitation of the Stain purge
victims of the 1930s. It is be-
lieved, for example. that Nikita
Khrushchev himself may have
played a leading role in liquidat-
ing Stanislav Kossior, former
leader in the Ukraine, whom
Mikoyan now labels specifically
"a wrongfully-accused man.
In basic Soviet foreign and
domestic policy the goth Con-
.gress saw no startling surprises.
Accelerated Pace
It is clear that the Soviet Gov
ernment is gong to continue to
pursue the policies of the last
year land probably pursue them
with greatsr vigor, elasticity and
frmness.
The Soviet government will
continue to maintain the nation
in a state of mobilization, will
continue to extend and in
ten,ify its domination over
the Soviet Bloc nations and
strengthen its ties with Red
China and Tito's Yugoslavia, and
will make big play for the
nations Of Asia and the
Middle East n order to draw
them away from the West. The
KremIin will make bids to many
of the nations which now have
close ties with the United States
to WOO them away from their
alliances. The weapons used will
be political, psychological and
economic.
1t is as clear as anything can
be that the Soviet leadership is
counting on using the coming
years to build up great strength,
to undermine the unity of the
West, in order to emerge at
some date in. the future in al
position of strength" from
which it can deal with the
United States.
Through speech after speech
at the Congress there ran one
particular theme song of the
Soviet leaders:
I'VE must catch up with and
the United States"
49, yrlv this is much more
than just a goal Or Get. It
is an obsession with them.
Will the United States allow
the Soviet Union to catch upI
with it and overtake it? That is
the most important question of
the 10th Century.

is any coalition of forces which
could successfully challenge his
position.
However, it's superficial and
misleading to label Khrushchev
"a new Stain. He may become
dictator. He already has many
OF the attributes. But it's OBJ
vious he's a very different man
from Stain and more important
ly that he comes in a different
epoch Of Soviet history at the
h ad Of a differen- ruling class.
Strength Shown
Khrushchev's strength was
particularly shown in the cleo
ton Of the new Central Com
niitlee of the party, the naming
OF FIVE new alternate members

former Poiitburo) and two new
party secretaries.

herents. The percentage of new
Corners to the rank of alternate

mittse is even higher.
All FIVE of the new alternate
members Of the Presidinm seem
to be closely associated with or
allied to Khrushchev.
The two new party secretaries
are Ekaterina Furtseva and
Leonid Brezhnev, who have
owed their advancement to

The strengthening of the
Khrushchev position was only
one of the important develop
ments at the Congress. Here are
some Of the others.
l. The Congress saw a deterio-
ration in the position of both
v. Nj. Molotov and G. M. Malen-

$6.7 Million OutIuys
Subject of Referendo

Arlington voters trickled to the

spend SGT million for schools
and a new courthouse section.
The special election may not
draw as many as 10000 votes,
political observers believe. Ar
lington has $1,000 registered
voters.
The lack of interest in the
campaign to provide $4.5 million
for school improvement and $2.2
million for courthouse improve
ments was seen in the fact that
no poll workers were on duty at
a third of the county's polling
places checked by a reporter this
morning.
In contrast to past bond issues,
the two proposals before the
voters today have wide business,
civic and political backing. with

The Arlington County Board
and the school board, initiators
of the referenda. joined forces
to provide each polling place
with a painters easel which
holds pictures of the major i'm

provide.
