and insure themselves against

The Russians made a strong

province from China. Popping.

not have quarreled with it pub

Irritation Growing
A growing irritation between
the two principal Communist
giants became more plain after

The FIRST reaction from Peip-
ing indicated the Chinese sided
with the intention Of liberal

Then. suddenly, Red Chinese
Premier Chou En-lai was invited
to Moscow and to tour the satel-

Chinese expressed support for
the Soviet actions in Hungary.
There is reason to suspect that
In exchange for this shift, Pre-
mier Chou exacted q price. Per-
haps the price was not big
enough. Perhaps the Chinese
still got the short end Of the
bargain.

wrestling with serious economic

All licenses, ex- cept the visitors special sport fishing license required under this Act, will expire at the close of the 3Oth day of June following issuance.
 The licenses will be sold by the Territorial Tax Commissioner or his duly deputized agents, such as U. s. Commissioners and sporting goods dealers.

Understanding the Missile Crisis

States can still win the ICBM
race-if 1t tries.
%. How?
"a. BY concentrating on
simplified versions, that is.
by reducing the number Of
parts in the rockets. I am
convinced we can have opera
tional intercontinental ballis-
tic missiles in 1860. I don't
believe the Russians will have
them before that. We can
make UP for lost time by
greater speed in production
and in training personnel to
maintain and operate the
missiles"
Nearly two years ago the
armed services of the United
States were given a clear
directive by Secretary of De-
tense Wilson as to their re-
spective operating missions
The Air Force was to con-
centrate on long-range
operations, the Army on
short-range as a form of
air artillery. and the, Navy
on missiles especially adapted
to ships.
The decision to let the
Army and the Air Force de-
velop, respectively. their own
missiles was made after the
Korean War broke out. There
was plenty of money avail
able then for all services.
K. T. Keller. formerly head
of the Chrysler Corporation,
acted for President Truman
in co-ordinating the work,
and it was understood that,
when each service developed
its missiles, there would be
another look to see which
ones would be selected for
concentration purposes. This
hasn't happened yet. The
development work is still not
completed, but the so-called
rivalry" has really been an
incentive.
It turns out now that there
was, of course, a propaganda
value in the satellite project,
but not as much military
value as the public thinks.
History will say it was a wise
decision to separate the two
projects. AS for globe-gir-
ding satellites. America will
launch them before long.
Lindbergh was the first man
to fly the Atlantic Ocean
nonstop, but few people to-
day will say that this feat
by itself would measure the
achievement Of any nation in
the field Of aviation.
