The early part Of last week saw

Part OF the decline was due

boom was on again. The conditions
1t reflected were those Of six weeks
ago. rather than today.
The four-tenths Of / percent
climb to 1915 per cent Of the
194749 base. another all-time
high, was due primarily to an
increase in the price Of new auto
mobiles. The new cars came out
in November, and as usual again
carried higher price tags, a factor
which makes this rise practically
seasonal. Perhaps significantly,
such necessary items as food and
clothes declined.

Reports by informed West Eu-
ropean observers indicate that the
Communists have adopted q long
range view Of the EaSt-West
struggle.
The Communists still assume
the ultimate victory Of socialism
over capitalism. but they feel "a
long time is required to solve the
problem Of who will win" This
was how Poland's party chief
Vladislav Gomulka quoted the re-
cent declaration of the ruling
parties of the Socialist Common
wealth on November %.
AS time passes. both socialism
and capitalism change. Accord
ing to West European observers
this means that the problem no
longer can be solved by radical or
even juridical means. Thus. in
this view. the prospect Of a Solu-
ton by war or insurrection. with
a wholly new order subsequently
imposed by the victor. becomes
more and more unlikely.
On-the-spot reports by West
European observers state that the
ruling Communists and the mass
Of the people in Communist
controlled countries are no longer
so far apart in their thinking.
The rulers have come to under
stand that they cannot impose
unpopular solutions without pay
ing a price. these observers say,
and the people who live in the
house which communism has built
have adapted themselves to their
accommodations.
Could Be Vital
This partial adjustment could
be the most important develop
ment of the poSt-Stalin era.
II the findings of the Western
observers are correct. most Of the
propaganda we beam TO the Com
munist world is based on a wrong
premise and the whole cold war
theory should be re-eXamined.
What today is a military and
political power-contest might then
become primarily contest in
thinking. Instead of concen-
trating on tactical operations
such as boycott. short-range prop
aganda and intelligence" we
would have to concentrate on
what is going on in the hearts
and minds OF the people living In
the Communist world,
What II all boils down to came
out in the course Of q West Ger
man investigation among nom
Communist Czech workers.

workers live much better than
they do-to say nothing Of the
high American standards.
But this was their answer:
What good does it do West Ger
man or English workers 20 be
able to buy more for their earn
ingS than we can? If business
slows down. they are out in the
street, just as We were out in the
street under the old system. Now
We don't have to be afraid Of
anything-except that you start
a war against us. When we are
sick, We receive 80 per cent Of
our earnings and keep our job.
If our line of production is slowed
down. we are transferred to other
jobs and We are secure in old
age"
Security, Western observers be-
lieve. has become more important
to the average East European
than political freedom and even
prosperity.
The West, Britain in particular,
has answered the craving for Sc
curity with the welfare state. The
Communists, on the other hand,
have had to borrow a page from
the capitalist book. They have
had to accept elements of LIBERAL
ism of the capitalist philosophy,
even If they refuse to admit it,"
wrote an editor of the West Ger
man newspaper Die Welt.
Aided Production
This is the meaning of the new
system OF economic inducements
which in the past two years has
enabled the SovietS to step up
dairy and meat production at a
surprising rate. Throughout East
ern Europe q mans earnings to-
day depend upon what and how
he produces rather than on his
political beliefs.
Under these circumstances. the
outcome Of the contest between
capitalism and communism would
seem to depend not so much upon
military, scientific and economic
supremacy, as upon practices and
values which appeal most effec-
lively to mans well-being.
Since 1t is quite likely that "a
long time is required to solve the
problem Of who is to win." many
present differences may disappear
and the outlook for the rest OF
4 he century could be brighter than

When the administration sends

gram TO Congress. probably some
time next month. it viii find
most receptive atmosphere.
Legislators long cool toward
Federal aid to schools. even some
who were active in its defeat less
than six months ago, are now de-
claring that something must be
done" Nearly every Office ON the
Hill seems to be preparing an
education bill" according TO one
Senator's aide.
The new attitude is a compound
Of a direct congressional concern
over Russia's apparent educational
edge. and q reflection Of the con-

ton meetings. compared to one
for the comparable period last
year., In q small community, he
continued. 800 people turned out
q few weeks ago on q rainy night
TO hear him talk about education
instead OF the dozen who attended

Such evidences of voter interest.
and plus his own post-Sputnik re-
assessment. now cause him to seek
ways in which the Federal Gov
ernment can help the educational
problem. It's likely that this year
he will be among the supporters
Of Federal funds for education.
Another CONGRESSMAN, back
from his farming district in South
Dakota. observed that this fall
questions at luncheon meetings
centered on the Sputniks and
their national implications for
American education.
Last year. he said. people were
only interested in purely local
issues. In fact one Of the States
leading newspaper editors. who q
year ago opposed Federal aid to
education. has now run front-page
articles publicizing the shortage
Of science teachers and has in
dorsed a Federal science program.
A similar change in viewpoint has
taken place among certain South
Dakota educators who had been
against Federal aid. this legisla-
tor reports.
In Pennsylvania. the represent
ative Of county development
council has written his Senator
that recent occurrences in Russia
should awaken us to the need for
furthering our educational facili-
ties to the hilt."
This Pennsylvania Senator's Of
fice reports that whereas last year
letters from constituents disclosed
no spontaneous support for the
school bill, now it's evident that
there is genuine interest among
the voters In the educational prob
lem.
Chonges OF Heart
A Wisconsin Congressman OBJ
serves that many Of his con-
servative constituents, formerly
against all Federal aid to educa-
ton, recognize now that the Job
is too big for the States alone and
that the Federal Government must
take an active part In formulating
and financing education.
Despite such indications of
changing attitudes. the problems
OF integration unqueStionably will
generate a powerful undercurrent
Of opposition among Southerners
on Capitol Hill TO increasing Fed
eral participation in education.
The permeating effect OF Little
Rock must not be minimized. Yet
those close to Southern Senators
and Representatives believe that
national security considerations,
II properly presented, may be able
to raise the argument above the
bitter race issue.
Another important sign Of
changing attitude towards Federal
aid TO education are the reports
that the United States Chamber
OF Commerce may moderate It's
views. Last summer 1t was re-
garded as perhaps the most power
ful force opposing the school con-
struction legislation. Now the
chamber. responding to It's mem-
bers' awarapess Of the need for
action to COUNTER Soviet achieves

ments. Is reported to be sensing q
greater excuse for Federal leader
ship in the educational field.
It may indorse such federally
financed activities as expansion
Of the National Science Founda-
tons summer institutes for train
ing teachers. graduate fellowships
and Federal program for teacher
guidance. Such a policy. coming
from the chamber could have a
considerable impact on Capitol
Hill.
There is still a wide spread Of
opinion on what form the Federal
aid should take. One big ques-
ton. for example. is whether aid
should be centered solely on the
development of more scientists
and engineers or whether 1t
should be used to strengthen the
entire educational structure.
There will be considerable
congressional sentiment for a
"science-only" program. Most Of
the education aid bills introduced
in the last session concentrated
on the sciences and educators
fear the post-Sputnik reaction
will encourage that viewpoint.
But Senator Lister Hill. chair
man Of the Labor and Public
Welfare Committee and a long
time leader in Senate educational
legislation, Is expected to throw
his support toward the broad
approach as well as for a program
OF perhaps $500 million.
In opposing any effort to limit
Federal action TO science educa-
ton only. he will have the back
ing OF the scientific community
who feel strongly on this point.
Johnson Is lmportont
One Of the most decisive ele-
ments in determining the con-
gressional attitude toward educa-
tion legislation may be the report
OF Senator Lyndon Johnson's sub
committee now investigating the
missile program.
II. as seems probable, the Demo.
cratic Senate leader. who works
closely with Speaker Rayburn.
publicly ties in the Nations edu-
cational requirements with nation
al security and stresses the urgency
OF sizable Federal program for
education, favorable congressional
action is likely to follow. BY the
same token. should such q report
treat the educational problem in
its wide dimensions then the
"science-only" advocates will have
suffered substantial setback.
Because the Administrators
proposals have been undergoing
changes recently and may alter
considerably before they are pre-
sented to Congress next month,
congressional sentiment on spe-
ciflc items reported to be in the
White House program are gen.
orally being withheld. However.
some ardent advocates OF Federal
aid regard the various plans for
scholarships. fellowships. teacher
and student testing. etc.. being
informally discussed as grossly
inadequate.
Since the House Education Com
mittee IS in the hands Of those at
best mildly for Federal aid. Sena-
tors Johnson and Hill seem likely
to be the most important figures
in deciding whether significant.
effective and balanced Federal
educational legislation emerges
from the coming session.

BUENOS AIRES.-Russia and
her satellites are wooing Argen-
tines with a blend Of Shakespeare,
ballet. music and animated car
toons. And in the process they
are providing useful case history
Of astute cultural penetration.
The point of the Communist
efforts obviously is to convince
this country-ruled by a provi-
sional government, with elections
due next year that the finer
things Of life play an important
part in the Soviet Union.
For $4,000 a month Russia rents
q downtown movie theater, called
the Astor for some reason, as a
distribution center for its slick
movies. Many are in color and
