Arms and the KremIin

In substance, the latest Soviet dis
armament plan seems to be little more
than a rehaShed summation of the Krem-
Inns past inadequate proposals. But
there are some notifications in it that
full negotiation aimed at breaking the
grim deadlock that has long existed in
this fearsomely complex field.
At any rate, as submitted to the five
power United Nations Disarmament SUBJ
committee now meeting in London, the
plan departs bit from the familiar So
Wet line in at least two respects. One of
these is that it places the Kremlin on
record, for the first time, as favoring the
principle of subjecting rockets and other
means of weapons delivery to some form
of international control. And the second
is that it uses language suggesting that
the Russians may possibly be willing to
be more reasonable than heretofore re-
garding the kind of reciprocal aerial
inspection that President Eisenhower has
proposed as safeguard against the
danger of massive surprise attack.
Thus, while repeating its past view
that such inspection should be limited
to a depth of 500 miles on either side
of the European Iron Curtain, the Krem-
Inns new comment on the subject speaks
somewhat graphically of how vast areas
of Europe" could be opened up to mutual
surveillance from the sky. Like the ref
erence to control over rockets, this has
the earmarks of a slight alteration in
the old Soviet position, and although it
may be too slight to have any real mean
ing, it is interesting enough to be worth
noting. For the fact is, as one Western
authority has observed in London, that
even small change in the way a SEN
tence is worded may be quite significant
to the Russians"
1t is still too early, in any case, to
give up hoping that the Kremlin will
eventually cooperate in establishing an
effective system of arms control Such
a system is likely to be achieved, if ever,
only at slow pace, step by step, through
long and patient negotiation. That is
why even the appearance of a small
change in the Soviet line deserves atten-
ton and exploration as something that
might be capable of opening the way to-
ward the kind of agreement that all the
world, including Russia, so sorely needs.

Saudi Arabian Threat

For some reason, relatively little at
tention is being paid to Saudi Arabia's
threat to deny the Gulf Of Aqaba to
Israeli shipping. Yet if the remarks of
Crown Prince Faisal have been correctly
reported in this country, Saudi Arabia
could be bigger stumbling block in this
matter than Egypt.
The American press, by and large,
has been centering its sometimes inaccu-
rate fire on Egypt'S President Nasser, who
has become its preferred whipping boy.
Yet Colonel NaSSer is not saying, or is
not saying publicly, that Israeli ships will
be barred from the gulf. But Prince
Faisal is.
According to New York Times re-
port from Cairo, the Prince has said that
I'VE will accept no bargaining" on the
question Of internationalizing the Gulf of
Aqaba and the Strait of Tiran. Saudi
Arabia, he declared, will take all meas
ures to defend its historical and legi-
innate rights in the gulf and to protect
the safety of its territorial waters"
II this is to be taken at face value,
the problem respecting Aqaba is not
simply one of getting tough with Colonel
Nasser. 1t will also be necessary, evil
IDENTIFY, to get tough with Saudi Arabia,
and while this poses no formidable mill
tary problem, it confronts the United
States, at least, with an exceedingly pain
ful political dilemma.
Prince FaiSal has not said that Israeli
shipping under all circumstances will be
barred from the gulf. It may still be
possible to work out some agreement.
But his remarks carry the suggestion
that Saudi Arabia, and presumably Egypt,
remain adamant in refusing to accept
the fact of Israel'S existence, and firm in
their determination to strangIe Israel by
economic measures If they can. 1t is
this, one supposes, which arouses such
deep concern In Jerusalem, and which
confronts the West with its most difficult
problem.

Welcomes!

The sun rose behind the Washing
ton overcast today at 6:12 am. At All
pm, our time, it was due to reach the
vernal equinox meaning, in somewhat
less technical language, that its center
will cross the Equator to mark the be-
ginning of spring. The crossing will be
on schedule, but not local in terms of
the Nations Capital. 1t will happen in
the South Pacific, at point about 700
miles north of the MarqueSas Islands
(French).
To the sun, this yearly voyage north
ward and southwark is an old story. But
to mankind, its vernal crossing is always
an occasion for hope-an optimism nour-
ished by new warmth and expressed long
ago when the Song of Solomon was writ
ten in the Old Testament.
For 10. the winter is past the rain is
over and gone; the flowers appear on the
earth; the time of the singing Of birds is
come. and the voice of the turtle is heard
in our land
1t may be hard on this first day of
spring, 1857, for mankind in a deeply
troubled world to find in its heart this
melody Of optimism. The prophets Of
doom have had good run at the pay
of window and they, at least, will not
yet admit that bright days and fair"
are close at hand. To them, the passage
of seasons means only closer approach
to new wars, to new depreSsions and even
to the Washington Senators finishing
last in the soon-to- be-born baseball year.
But there are, fortunately, those Of
stronger faith-those who at All pm.
today will take deeper breath and find
"there is still sunshine on the wall"

Juvenile Gonqs

The juvenile riot, or mob scene, or
whatever one may wish to call it which
occurred outside Douglas Junior High
School last week has stirred up a COM
munity debate over ways and means Of
dealing with the problem of juvenile
gangs.
1t has been suggested that the trou-
ble-making youngsters feel they are too
tightly controlled, that the real problem
lies with hard core of young hoodlums,
or that the community, somehow. has
failed to measure up to its responsible
ties. Perhaps there is something to all
these points of view. But the real diff
Guilty, we think, stems from an abiding
belief on the part of too many of these
young delinquents that they can rough
up policeman or manhandle motorist
and get away with 1t. Consequently, we
hope that Inspector John E. Winters,
head Of the police departments youth
aid division, means what he says What
he says, in substance, is that he is tired
Of temporizing with these teen-age mob
sters, that when they pull this sort Of
thing" they are going to be arrested and
brought in, and that II they get violent
they are going to be subdued.
Some people will think that this
attitude represents turning back OF the
clock. But the way things are going in
this city, 1t is time to turn 1t back-at
least to this extent.

On Being Tolerant

Now. the great majority of men

sent any attempt to make them
like it.

this rhetorical sleight Of hand.

erance with "the essence of
the American system" where

To grasp the absolute false
ness of this claim, let us try
to imagine our present plight
if the founding fathers in for
mulating the American sys-
tenn had set out to "agree to
disagree" with King George III.
We would still be politely pc
titioning the Crown to allow
us some representation for our
taxation. No! The founding
fathers were absolutely intol-
Grant. and categorically dis
agreed. And the American sys-
tenn was and remains far
closer to intolerance than to
the Incidence and indifference
that Mr.. Manchester advocates.

WSTAS IN SCIENCE
Air Force Enters Scientific Research

considerably greater for tl.4
present on industry and daily
living than on actual air mill
tary operations.
Unlike other scientific agen-
cies of the Air Force. the
AFOSR is devoted entirely to
exploratory research" or, in
the words of it's commanding
general. answering questions
that have never been asked"
This function is excellently
described in the organizations
brochure:
In standard military prac-
tice a requirement is set up
say for a vehicle that can fly
X knots at Y altitude carrying
Z'pounds. AS this requirement
is broken down into necessary
bits and pieces, it is discovered
that existing materials and
techniques are not adequate
and that it is necessary to dis
cover something better. A
question is asked, the answer
sought, and this answer can be
used in the improvement Of
the art. This is supporting
research
Exploratory Research
Exploratory research Is
something else again. 1t pro-
vides answers to which there
have been no questions. It is
research undertaken to add to
the sum total of human knowl-
edge in areas of interest to
the Air Force. 1t provides ca
liabilities for developing new
concepts Of weapons systems
that may revolutionize the art
and science of aerial warfare.
These capabilities will prob
ably have to be carried through
the initial exploratory stages
of development before their
possible military applications
can be visualized.
Supporting research has a
relatively high probability Of
success, and a relatively low
pay-off. Exploratory research
has a relatively low probability
of success and a very high pay
off if successful. Supporting re-
search might be likened to a
bond. exploratory research to
common stock.
"One must never undereSti-
mate the speed with which q
new scientific discovery can be
put to practical use. This holds
true for the enemy as we'll as
ourselves. The Air Force must
sponsor an exploratory re-
search program to survive. Our
technical problems are diff
ferent and greater in scope
than those experienced by in
dustry and by other govern
mental activities. The Air
Force operates on the techno-
logical frontier"

Airport Lobbying

1t is interesting to note that Mary
land Senator Buffers indignation over
airport lobbying" seems to be severely
restricted to lobbying" in support of
second Washington airport at Burke,
Virginia. But If there is to be any Senate
investigation of airport lobbying, as Sem
ator Butler has suggested, it should not
be limited to the Burke project. For it
is doubtful If the So-called lobbying in
behalf Of the Burke or other nearby sites
for a new local air terminal has exceeded
In volume or persistence the pressureS
which have been and still are being ex-
erted in behalf Of Baltimore's Friendship
Airport. Is 1t all right to lobby for the
use of Friendship as a supplemental
Washington airport" but all wrong to
lobby for a site favored by the CAA. the
CAB, the airlneS and many other groups
one that already has been bought by
the Federal Government under an act
of Congress?
AS matter of fact, the CAA and the
CAB are only carrying out the duties and
responsibilities imposed on them by Con-
gress when they show their concern over
the growing congestion at the old Ma
tional Airport and urge action to relieve
the dangerous conditions. Nor is 1t i'm
proper for these agencies to support the
Burke location, which long ago was picked
by civil aviation experts as the best avail
able site for a second Washington ter
minal and in which the Government has
invested nearly 81 million. 1t is safe to
assume that Senator Butler (who is a
leading supporter of the Friendship "lob-
by") would have no objection to any
campaigning by the CAA or any other
agency in furtherance of the Friendship
cause. 1t all depends on which airport
proposal the lobbying" supports.

Knocks NAACP

In a news story headed
Reds Penetrate NAACP, Probe
Told in Louisiana" in the
March 10 issue of The Star, it
was reported that ex-Commu-
mist leaders had testified 1.-The
Communists used racial Incl
dents for their own purposes,
had been trying to inflltrate
the Negro churches for
many years, and concen-
trated their efforts on taking
over the NAACP." Anyone
familiar with the true facts
and history of racial conflict
IN America should find nothing
surprising in that testimony.
Over 40 years ago, an Eng
lish Communist. Israel Cohen,
wrote: I'VE must realize that
our party's most erful
weapon is racial tension. BY
pounding into the conscious
ness Of the dark races that for
centuries they have been OPP
pressed by the whites, we can
mold them to the program of
the Com m unist Party. In
America. we will aim for subtle
victory. While infiaming the
Negro minority against the
whites. We will endeavor to
instil in the whites a guilt
complex for their exploitation
Of the Negroes. We will aid the
Negroes TO rise in prominence
IN every walk of life, in the
professions and IN the world of
sports and entertainment.
With this prestige. the Negroes
will be able to intermarry with
the whites and begin a process
which will deliver America to
our cause" (From "A Racial
Program for the Twentieth
Century"-l912O
1t is obvious that the Com
munists (aided by some reli-
gious leaders and well-meaning
liberals. but not by the Negro
masses in the "black belt" of

The Air Force, faced with
ever-increasing physical and
biological problems as military
aviation advances to require
ments at the far edge of en-
durance of both materials and
men. has set up in Washington
a new scientific establishment
for research largely in the
fields of pure science.
This is the Air Force Office
of Scientific Research, under
command of Brig. Gen. Frank
Gregory, which will operate
under a pattern quite similar
to that followed successfully
by the Office of Naval Research
which is now in its 10th year.
It's job falls in three cate
gories. as described in its
organizational brochure:
First: To plan, formulate
and manage the exploratory
research program Of the Air
Force.
Second: To establish and
maintain contact with the
scientific community of the
free world in such a manner
that existence of new research
results will be Immediately
known and their implications
recognized.
Third: To maintain cogni-
zance of the major research
and developmental activities
of governmental and private
agencies.
How 1t Will Operate
The Office will operate, as
does the Office Of Naval Re-
search very largely through
contracts for specific research
with universities. various in
stitutions and individuals. 1t
is extending the range of these
contracts outside the United
States and, as far as possible,
throughout the free world. as
it seeks to take full advantage
of facilities of Western Europe
and South America. This pro-
gram, however. is somewhat
restricted by regulations of
other governments in respect
to acknowledgement in
stitutions.
A group of specialists has
been brought together in
Washington to follow world
developments and to assess
possible implications.
The significance of the or
ganization was illustrated
when 1t sponsored a sympo-
SUM on space navigation
that is, sending man-carrying
vehicles of some sort beyond
the limits of the earth's atmos-
phere. 1t was looking to pos
