Yet today Puerto Ricans are proudly self

in the short space of 10 years, largely by

prime topic Of conversation throughout
the country. In that sense, 1t has ac-
quired fame of its own-an i'll sort Of
fame-that is probably without precedent
in the annals of coughing. Judging from
what the doctors have said, it is not

InfoIIibIe Pilot

The prospect of an infallible elec-
tronic brain" bringing airplanes to
safe landing under any weather condi-
tions has been frightened substantially
during testing of a new Bell Aircraft
Corporation device. Heart of the system
is. an electronic computer and radar
unit, installed either on landing strips
or carrier decks. Planes flying in zero
zero weather-no ceiling and no visibility
may be brought by conventional pilot
navigation to "radar gate" as much as
four miles from their runway where the
new system clocks on" and completes the
landing by fully automatic controls. The
system even ''waves off" carrier landings
if the ships position changes unexpect-
eddy and dangerously at the last minute.
Already tested extensively on land, the
system will be taken to sea for four
months of further experimentation by the
Navy.
The development is quite different,
Of course, from present remote-control
mechanisms by which pilotless planes
have been flown. The latter system re-
quires visibility for human operator on
the ground or in control plane. The
Bell system needs no visibility and no
human operator. In addition to its APP
plication under most unfavorable weather
conditions-the circumstance in which it
might have greatest commercial air value
1T has particular appeal to military OPP
erations where pilots may be wounded or
so fatigued as to be incapable of making
safe landing.
Despite all improvement in naviga-
ton and control techniques thus far,
zero-zero weather has been a virtually
uncracked barrier for safe aircraft opera
ton. Unfortunately, nothing can be done
about the weather. 1t is tribute to the
persistence and ingenuity of scientists
and aeronautical engineers, however, if
some reliable system has been devised by
which it may be ignored with relative
safety.

Eqypt,s Turn

There is nothing in Mrs. Coda Meir's
announcement of Israel'S decision to
withdraw its forces behind the 1949
armistice lines to which Egypt can take
legitimate exception.
To be sure, the Israeli Foreign Min
lister coupled her withdrawal announce
ment with a statement of certain "as-
sumptions." Essentially, these are that
Israel expects unrestricted access to the
Gulf OF Aqaba for her shipping and an
end to Egyptian directed commando
raids In our opinion, these are valid
expectations, and Israel, as soon as her
troops are withdrawn, will have every
right to insist upon their fulf1llment.
The next move is Colonel Nasser's.
He can seize upon this opportunity to
better the lot of his own people and of
the whole Middle East, or he can destroy
the hopes which have been raised by
ISraelS commendable decision. At the
minimum, the Egyptian President should
agree to the opening of the Gulf of Aqaba,
to ban on commando raiding and to
the speedy clearance and nondiScrim-
inatory use of the Suez Canal.
Oilc llIdy 1IOpe-dIt1lOuSH perhaps IL
is too early for this-that Colonel Nasser
will also have the vision to grasp the
full dimensions of the opportunity which
lies before him. In large measure, he
owes his official existence to the vigor
Gus action of the United Nations and
the United States in coming to his rescue
at the time of the Anglo French-Israe
attack. Egypt has been saved from this
aggression and now has the chance to
move on, in cooperation with the U. N,
to a statesmanlike settlement of the
issues which have for SO many years i'm
poverished and embittered the Middle
East. We hope that Colonel Nasser will
throw off the restraints Of narrow
nationalism and pan-Arabism and avail
himself of this great opportunity.

Cutting the Budget

A lot Of folks who voted for
Ike last fall belonged to that
far-flung legion. Democrats
for Eisenhower" They joined
up with Republicans in order
to assure the continuance of
likes quest for peace abroad
and economic stability and
progress at home.
But continuation of the
inflationary spiral jeopardizes
the entire program.
Another great American.
Senate Democrat Harry F..
Byrd, chairman Of the Senate
Finance Committee, has now
shown the way to stop infla-
tion-at least the best hope
to stop it. He has indicated
not only the compelling wis
dom. but the practically, of
a $5-billion cut in the budget.
This important result can
certainly be accomplished if
enough Republicans will join
with Senator Byrd in an all
out effort to cut Federal
spending.
Such a cut will preserve the
value of the dollar and thereby
save the country additional
billions that will be lost if
imitation continues. 1t will pre-
serve the standard of living
OF millions of people who today
barely subsist on fixed incomes.
1t will prevent unavoidable
military and foreign aid
spending from wrecking the
economy.
What more do people need
to induce them to get behind
Senator Byrd's program?
Now is the time for Repub-
licans to reciprocate for what
the Democrats did for Ike
in the last election, and four
years ago.
Byrd Republican,
