Nixon Warns Of Fiye-Yeor Threat
OF Russion World 'BIockmoiP

Soviet Russia's economic.
psychological and subversive
maneuvers-rather than mill
tary supremacy-may well be
the greatest threat the Free
World faces in the next five
years. Vice President Nixon
warned yesterday.
Speaking at the dedication of
the new B'nai Birth Building
here. Mr.. Nixon emphasized the
United States could make no
greater error" than by failing
to prepare militarily to avoid
the consequences Of "interna-
tional blackmail."
But of equal importance, he
added. are those other forces
necessary to keep free nations
and the so-called uncommitted
nations from falling under the
domination Of the Communist
powers"
The Vice President expressed
his confidence in Americas
strength. Our primary reac-
ton at the moment is to see
to it that we do not fall behind
militarily." he asserted.
U. S. Called Strongest
I'VE know that at the pres
ent time we are stronger than
any who threaten the peace of
the world. We realize, however
that we cannot rest on our
laurels. but must catch up in
those fields in which we may
be behind.
"And we shall catch UP, be-
cause we must never forget that
Americans have not always
been first in times past, either
in technology or in development
Of the instruments Of war. But
we have never stayed behind
once we have recognized what
the responsibility was"
At the same time. Mr.. Nixon
said, this country must moi
make the mistake of "aping'
Soviet Russia's educatior
methods and emphasis. "Educa-
ton IN the United States" he
said. must recognize that there
are other areas-areas Of the
human spirit and the arts
which are as important as the
development of our scientific
and technical ability"
Mr.. Nixon spoke in a similai
vein last night at the closinl
session Of the National Council

CAA Project
Due to Double
Area Visibility

New radar equipment, de-
signed to double the aircraft

craft from the present range Of
about 70 miles to about $50
miles.
Part Of Wide Program
The new equipment win take
a couple of months to install
and to carry out fight checks
to insure that it is operating
efficiently. This is all part of
the CAA's Nationwide pro-
gram to insure more safety in
fight.
The CAA's new high altitude
control program, effective De-
cember l. will open up con-
tinental United States air space
above $4,000 feet to pilots desir-
ing CAA traffic control service,
Mr.. Pyle explained. This will be
compulsory for flights on in
struments. when bad weather
prevails. Otherwise it will be
optional.
Next spring, CAA hopes to
put the new continental con-
troll area into effect down to
$4,000 feet. which will take in
pressurized civil transports. but
with control still on an OPP
tional basis. This will be the
second step.
The third step in expected to
be effective by 1862, when CAA
hopes to have the equipment
and personnel for control of all
aircraft at high attitudes over
the 3 million square mile land
mass of the United States.
Jets First to Benefit
The FIRST stage. being insti-.
tuted December /. will benefit
primarily the great number of
military jet flights. For the
program, radar and commune
cations equipment and the
training of additional air traf-
&c controllers will be necessary.
Mr.. Pyle said the new system
should do q great deal toward
eliminating ''near misses" Mr..
Thomas said that it Is now con-
sidered likely commercial jets
will operate Inc the upper 2O.-
900 feet attitudes and the low
10000 feet. Jets present a diff
ficult problem because Of their
speed. Mr.. Pyle said.
The administrator said that
the Washington Air Route
Traffic Control Center controls
some 10000 square miles of
air space, some 10000 over land
and 10000 off shore to the east.
The territory is divided into
IL control sectors. The center
operates "a hours a day, seven
days a week and has a compile
ment of 1877 controllers and as
sistant controllers. There are

that the measure was spon-
sored by the Commissioners.
Mr.. Walker said the associa-

District of gas tax revenues.
"In 1852. District motorists
