The Senate Preparedness
Subcommittee has received this
hair-curling intelligence re-
port: The Russians have a
stockpile of 1000 ballistic mis-
siles.
The report, prepared Jointly
by all the Government intelli-
gence agencies. also says:
The Soviets have a produc-
stockpile of 10000 ballistic mis-
a month.
About 10 per cent of the mis-
sile stockpile is made up Of
rockets with a range of 800
miles. The rest are the Soviet
intermediate range ballistic
missile with range of 1900
miles.
The Russians do not now
have an operational intercon-
tinental ballistic missile.
Although the report is clas-
sified secret" it was slipped
out by a Pentagon source on
the grounds that it's release
would not give any information
to the enemy. who obviously
know what they have. Its ex-
istence was confirmed pri-
vately by a staff member OF
the Senate subcommittee,
which is now collecting infor-
nation for a full-scale inves-
tigation of the United States
missile and satellite programs.

intelligence estimates on Rus
sian capabilities has in the
past been poor. Last July in
telligence sources leaked a re-
port of the Soviet missile pro-
gram that contained these
conclusions:
/. The Soviet missile pro-
gram is directed primarily on
rockets with a range of from
200 to 600 miles.
2. The Red program is sub
stantially" behind the United
States projects in both the
ICBM and the IRBM.
Both points obviously are
now conceded to have been in
correct.
Although the United States
may seem to be quite a distance
geographically from a potential
attack spearheaded by 300
mile-range missiles, there are
Two factors that make the
stockpile more potent than the
range would indicate:
1.-The USSR has a feet of
600 submarines and is building
about 100 a year. A sub could
come within 100 miles of our
shores to launch an 800-miler
and could hit any important
target on the continent.
2. Only so to 100 missiles
armed with thermonuclear war
heads could put most of this
country out of business.

The original plan, completed
after 6putnik ! was launched
called for creation of annual
NATO scholarship fund of 81
million to provide for education
OF 200 doctors of philosophy in
the science field. They would
be chosen from NATO's IS
members.
The new post-Sputnik II pro-
posal would increase the fund
to about Sc million, which Sen
ator jackson said in an inter-
view would provide for about
600 new doctorates a year. The
United States presently grants
about $50 such degrees an
nually and the other NATQ
members combined somewhat
fewer.
Estimates are that the United

half the cost of the program.

Fido, whose name in Italian

the square and then waited
there until he returned in the
evening.
Then war came. And one day
Soriani did not return. He was
killed in an Allied air attack
that destroyed the Borgo fac
tory.
But Fido still met the bus
each night. He soon started to
sleep under it. since the bus
remained in Luco's square over
night.
His vigil persists.
Citizens Provide Food
Everyone in Luco and Borgo
knows about it. They send him
food. They don't try to move
him from the square.
Today Giuseppe Graziani,

medal around Fido's neck while

Mr.. Payne said he and Mr..
Weakly have agreed on apply
ing the new rule-which he de-
scribed as an attempt to gauge
neighborhood sentiment more
accurately. 1t already has been
used on several other cases.
Rule Called Arbitrary
The Palisades association, in
a protect to the District Com
missioners. last week called the
ABC ruling revolutionary and
arbitrary" and asked the city
heads to overrule it. The group
said it might seek help from
Congress on recognizing the
ABC board or changing the law
if the city heads don't inter-
Vene.
Mr.. Gray said yesterday that
the ABC'S new position could
jeopardize property values and
living conditions in many
neighborhoods and efforts Of
civic groups to protect them.
Mr. Payne told The Star he
is not taking sides. He said
that the new rule is the result
of reconsideration of the law.
Up to recently. the board has
accepted resolutions of civic
groups as representative of
neighborhood opinion, which
the board under the law is re-
quired to consider in acting on
license applications.
But, Mr.. Payne said. such re-
solutions often have been voted
by only the organizations ex-
ecutive board or a small por-
ton of the membership.

Mr.. Payne continued. adding
that Mr.. Weakly has now
agreed with him.
Mr.. Payne said the Com
misSioners cannot directly
override the board, which acts
independently even though its
authority is delegated from the
city heads.
But an adverse ruling by the
corporation counsel, if approved
by the city heads, would force
the board to drop the new
stand, he said.
The board, he added. has
not sought any formal opinion
on its stand and has no plan
to do so. Mr.. Gray said efforts
may be made to get such a
ruling.

board made its population

of dwelling units and then

he could not recall the exact

the "little woman" just has not had
enough work to do around the house.
Why else would they be looking for jobs?
Everybody, or almost everybody, knows
that the husbands Of all these job
seeking married women have been out
working likA mad, bringing home "pros-
perity" wages, meeting instalment pay
ments, etc. Perhaps, in Pact, they have
been paying for too many automatic
devices to make housework easier. Idle
hands at home just seem to inspire an
urge to keep busy-elsewhere. Still,
even for husbands, there may be some
consolation in having the family treas
ury augmented. So If the Census Bureau
is not disturbed by its own findings
perhaps the husbands should just relax.

Stars of Peace

If Comrade KhruShchev'S fair words
could be taken at face value the whole
world might join in applauding Moscow's
celebration of the 40th anniversary of
the Communist revolution.
Mr. KhruShchev alluded to the
satellites circling overhead as "StarS of
peace" He said that the Soviet Union
wants friendly competition, not war. He
spoke pridefully of RuSsia's achieve
ments with the use of atomic energy for
peaceful purposes, and he poked fun,
not without justification, at our Ameri-
can Vanguard satellite project, which
now is bringing up the rear. The Com
munist Party boss reiterated the claim
that Russia has developed the inter-
continental ballistic missile, but there
was nothing especially threatful about
his remarks in this connection. Finally,
he renewed what seems to be bid for
direct negotiations with the United
States, and he added: 1--WE should like
to have high-level meeting of repre-
sentativeS of capitalist and socialist
countries so as to reach agreement on
excluding war as means of solving
political questions"
These words came, however, just
after the Soviet representative in the
United Nations had been singing a
different tune. There, the Kremlin's
spokesman has blasted hopes of any
disarmament progress at this time and
has given the impression that the
Kremlin does not even care to negotiate
seriously to this end. The fair words
also came on the eve of todayS big
military show in Moscow show that
IS impressive enough, but hardly con-
sistent with appeals for peace and
friendly competition. The West, we
fear, must curb its hopes, and wait and
watch For Mr.. Khrushchev, to adapt
Patrick Henry's phrase, is talking of
peace when there is no peace.

YOUNG Man in Paris

The French have chosen a new
Premier, the youngest to hold that office
in the past 100 years. Felix Gaillard
was 38 on the day the National Assembly
approved his selection and that of his
proposed cabinet. He won this test,
and with it the multitude of nearly
insoluble problems that goes with being
chief of government in postwar France,
through the backing of every French
party except the Communists on the
extreme left and the Poujadists on the
extreme right He won it after the
longest period of political "crisis" in
France since the end of World War IL
a span of 81 days in which government
had been in the hands of rejected
administration. And, to large extent
at least, he won it because he had
demonstrated marked ability and energy
in numerous government postS-most
recently as Finance Minister in the
Bourges-Maunoury cabinet.
Mr. Gaillard's ability and energy
will stand him in good stead. The
breadth of his political support should
w AhCWAoCy AOA q VAAALC, OOO WAC NOAJ
necessity for coalition backing almost
as surely will lead to the familiar fac
tional differences that have toppled
more than a score of French govern
ments in little more than decade. Mr..
Gaillard knows this, of course, and the
careful manner in which he outlined
his government program to the Assembly
rnAoofod 11ic initial lofo
nation to avoid early strife among his
now united followers. On the Algerian
problem, for example, the new Premier
asked adoption of a home rule bill
similar to that advocated unSucceSsfully
by his predecessor-but with COM
promise giving greater weight to the
votes of French residents in the terri
tory. On the second major iSSue-the
many-Sided domestic economic prob
lem-Mr. Gaillard spoke gravely about
the need for budget economies and new
tax revenues but avoided details which
might have aroused the deputies.
At the same time, he announced
that at least an effort will be made to
correct the basic political weakness OF
France-a constitutional system that en-
courageS splinter parties and has given
them the power of life and death over
government. He will ask, he said an
interparty committee of ten to devise
possible constitutional and electoral
reforms.
Against this background, there is
surely no guaranty that Mr.. Gaillard
will be notably more successful than his
predecessors He does, however, repre-
sent fresh force individually in French
politics. Somewhere behind the scenes,
France has the vitality to cure its
troubles. We hope Mr.. Gaillard will
prove to be the right doctor.

Invention and Ignorance

Like one of those Space-helmeted
groups that appear so frequently in our
children'S comic books, the National In
ventors Council of the Commerce De-
partment has just issued another of its
lists of things that the PentagoH-would
dearly love to have, and the sooner the
better. The list is meant to fire the
imagination of those Of us who tinker
about in the garage or basement in an
effort to fabricate gadgets slightly more
earth-shaking than fountain pens we
can use in case we're moved to write
letters or compose poems while we
happen to be under water
AS far as the council is concerned,
the sky's the limit 1t urges that we
invent anything and everything that
will move us into the 21st or 22d CEN
fury within the next ten years or so. To
mention only few of the items on its
list. it appeals to us to come up with ideas
that will make possible the following
developments, among others: Q) tun-
neling machine that will bore through
the earth at speed Of more than mile
an hour, without creating waste dis
posal problem; (2) device enabling
frogmen to see through muddy water
for distances of at least Is feet; (3) a
form OF artificial skin that will revolu-
tionize the treatment of severe burns:
CAV aerial platforms, both manned and
unnamed. for observation and missile
launching from the outer reaches Of
space; and (5) death ray" of some
type, preferably one that could be shot
from little hand pistol Of the sort that
is so common in the comic books.
And so it goes in this age of the
Soviet Sputnik and its coming American
rivals. The comic books are not to be
laughed at. Fantastic as some of them
may have seemed in the past, we know
now that they have been the accurate
precursors Of an incredible future that
is rushing in upon us all too swiftly
This has become so true that one can
appreciate, as never before, the wisdom
Of those people In Samuel Buffers
"Erewhon" who had vision enough to
outlaw even the most primitive machin-
cry and establish universities of blissful
ignorance, where everybody went to un-
learn whatever he knew about the sort
of progress that could destroy him.
Maybe all of us, including the Russians,
need similar institutions In this real
world Of ours that has suddenly become
so potentially terrifying.

For the Porty's Good

Governor Knights decision to bow
out of CALIFORNIA; governorship race
will leave its wounds, and they will bleed
a bit. But this will be as nothing COM
pared to the intraparty blood-letting
which would have taken place had he
and Senator KnoWland slugged it out to
the bitter end for the G. o. P. nominal
ton
So it is reasonable to believe Gov
ernor Knight when he says that he
stepped aside for the good of the party.
We do not think that he has done this
willingly, cheerfully or happily. Pres
sure of rather high order must have
been brought to bear upon him. But
now the thing is done, and Senator
Knowland will have clear field for the
G. o. P. gubernatorial nomination. Mr..
Knight almost certainly will be the
party'S senatorial candidate and Mr..
Nixon who, we assume, had no small
hand in engineering this realignment,
has reason to suppose that California
still will be in Republican hands when
1860 rolls around.
If this proves to be the case, it does
not necessarily follow tnat Mr. NIXON
can bank on the California delegation
when the chips go down in the 1860
convention. 1t is certainty, however,
that his prospects will be brighter than
If the Knight and Knowland factions
had Knocked each other out, thereby
handing the State to the Democrats. 1t
still will take little doing to patch
things up. But politicians do not reach
the Nixon Knight Knowland level with
out perfecting the arts of adapting to
changed circumstances and eating ones
earlier words We suspect that this
formidable Republican trio will manage
TO do what has to be done, and that the
odds on Pat Brown, Mr.. Knowland'S
Democratic opponent, whose chances
had looked pretty good, will be going
down and down and down.

Questions and Answers
BY THE HASKIN SERVICE

@. Why does a "Barmecide
Feast" mean a false appear
ance Of plenty?-J. r.
A. In an Arabian Nights
tale. a Barmecide (member
of a powerful and distin-
guished Persian family Of
that name) gave an imagi-
nary feast on empty dishes
to a poor. hungry man named
Schacabac. who had asked
him for charity. Schacabac
played his part in the "joke"
so well that the Barmecide
rewarded him with a real
feast. and took him into his
employ.
Q. Please describe the jew
ism religious book called the
Machzor x c.
A. The Machzor contains
the standard and special
prayers ordained for each
major Jewish holiday. Some
Of these date back about 1000
years; some are literary poems
or prayers composed by indi-
vidual rabbis as late as the
Middle Ages. The word
Machzor means -cycle.-
