New Jersey

In 1852, Gen. Eisenhower car
ried New Jersey with 357.711 votes
to spare in his presidential sweep.
But the next year, Democrat Rob-
ert Meyner won the governor
ship in the normally Republican
State by 1882 votes. Last year,
President Eisenhower led Adlai
Stevenson by 756,605 ballots, TAX
ing 64.7 of the total, an accom-
plishment which gave Republicans
visions of recapturing the State
house in Trenton this year and
returning the State to its normal
G. o. p. celebration.
But it was Democratic hopes
that were buoyed when Republic
can Malcolm S. Forbes at l1:l6
pm. Tuesday conceded defeat
to Gov. Meyner. whose margin
subsequently climbed to 100000
votes thanks to the largest vote
ever cast in New Jersey for a
Democrat.
Inc outcome was raJed Slgnln-
cant to national politics for two
reasons:

President Nixon and three cabinet
members failed to insure the sue

Sputnik II

A week ago yesterday, Russian
scientists launched another satel-
lite into outer space-Sputnik II
TO join its predecessor, the
sphere that jolted the Western
world out Of its complacency six
weeks ago and is still whirling
around the globe, its radio now
silent. Sputnik II carries a little
Siberian bitch named Laika, whose

a half-ton Q.120.29 pounds) and
is chilling evidence that Soviet
scientists have developed and
mastered a technology and per-
haps a super-fuel for rocket en-
gines superior by far to anything
yet demonstrated in the free
world. Its true meaning to the
world lies not SO much in its
visible and audible proof that So
Wet rocketry is far advanced, as
in its warning that the conquest
of space is at hand and the con-
querors bear the hammer-and-
sickle emblem, not Liberty's torch.

Other Reaction

There were strenuous efforts in
other Washington quarters to
minimize the propaganda effect
of the recent Soviet displays of
missile-and-rocket pre-eminence.
The Pentagon's chief of military
research, DR.. Paul D. Foote, told
a House subcommittee that inter-
service rivalries had helped, not
hindered, American missile de-
velopment by promoting healthy
competition. The United States
program is behind Russia's, he
declared, only because the Soviet
Union began missile development
"even before the end of World
War H." Today, he said. the
American program is very close"
to the Russian, but later he con-
coded I'VE are four or five years

Mr.. Dulles on Tuesday told
newsmen at his press conference
that the Soviet Union had "a
partial lead" in missiles but ex-
pressed confidence the United
States could catch up. In the
meantime, the string of bases
maintained overseas with their
.. capacity to retaliate from diff
ferent directions is an immense

terrent power, the Secretary said.

Poland's Wladyslaw Gomulka and
a host of other Communist lead

its tagging space program.
The two Soviet Sputniks, said
the beaming First Secretary, were

other satellites to join them and
to form Commonwealth of Sput-
niks." Now was certainly the time,
he said, for the United States land
other capitalist countries" to join
with the Communist world in top
level conferences.
Repeating a theme he has dwelt
on in the past. Mr.. Khrushchev
urged peaceful competition be-
tween the Soviet Union and the
United States in heavy industry,
in consumer goods, in agricultural
production. He again declared
confidently that the Soviet Union
would soon equal the United States
in per capita industrial and agri-
cultural production.

would provide a spectacular event

tional ticket in 1860. 1t is certain
that the rest of the party will not
fail to recognize in Gov. Meyner
some similarity to another emf

Eisenhower.
The Governor. like the Presi-

growing ranks of independent vot-
ers. Like Mr.. Eisenhower. he
seems to have little use for parti-
san political symbols (his cam

ously cultivated both parties. He

New Jersey Democrats also cap

The New Jersey outcome also
was inspected for trend in Negro
voting. The Republicans had re-
minded the voters that the Little
Rock situation had been caused
by a Democratic Governor: Mr..
Forbes told Negroes that it was

President Eisenhower's civil rights

Last year Mr.. Eisenhower re-
ceived about 40 per cent of the

President Speaks

President Eisenhower, appar-
entity spurred by the rise of the
second Soviet moonlet. advanced
the date of the first of his con-
f1dence" addresses to the Nation.
Choosing Thursday, which was
the anniversary of the Bolshevik
revolution, the President took to
radio and television to reassure
the American people on the state
OF their defenses.
Without minimizing the Soviet
accomplishments. Mr.. Eisenhower
assured Americans that United
States missile and rocket tech
nology we're also far advanced.
He pointed to the nose cone of
rocket, brought to his office for
the occasion, and said it had been
400 miles into space and had re-
turned to earth intact-proof. he
averred, that American scientists
had solved the problem of bring
ing missile back to earth with
out its burning up from the fric-
ton of re-entering the earth's
atmosphere. There were many
other significant achievements to
this Nations credit in the missile
race. the President said.
Taking cognizance of mounting
criticism of the inter-service rival
ries present in the American mis-
sile development program, the
President announced the appoint
ment of DR.. James r. Killian,
president of the Massachusetts,
Institute of Technology. to be his
Special Assistant for Science and
Technology. DR.. Killian will be
a chief co-ordinator for missile
and rocket development. respon-
sible only to Mr.. Eisenhower. But
he will apparently be something
less than the missile car" de-
manded by many lawmakers as
essential to put the United States
program on its feet.
Mr.. Eisenhower also promised
that sweeping changes in the
Pentagon would give top priority
to missiles and rockets and mini
mize the bitter rivalries between
the three military services over
the control Of the program. He
said he would discuss the whole
matter further in a speech next
week.
One major change was an
nounced the next day. In a sharp
reversal of Pentagon policy. De-
tense Secretary McElroy brought
the Army back into the long range
missile field with an order to Red

REVIEW OF THE WEEK
The Cold War in Space

Forty years ago feudal, agricul-
tural Russia writhed in the throes
of revolution, civil war, famine and
disease on the heels of a disas-
trous war. Last Thursday, the
Union of Socialist Soviet Re-
publics celebrated its 40th ami
versary with a proud awareness
of its two manmade satellites
spinning through space and the
knowledge that it had risen in
slightly more than one generation,
from chaos to become the worlds
only competitor to the United
States for world leadership.
The laurels of Soviet leadership
were not worn lightly by the cur
rent Kremlin leadership. Nikita
Khrushchev. fresh from another
triumph over potential political
rivals. called for a new summit"
conference of the worlds top lead
ers to try for settlement of the
outstanding problems between East
and West. His words were peace
full, but they were confident and
demanding. If there is to be
peaceful coexistence" in the
existing power relationships, he
seemed to say, the terms for such
an accord will be Moscow's.

the latter from the Afro-Asian
bloc plus Yugoslavia and Finland.
But the victory was a hollow
one. In effect, it serves to stiffen
the deadlock. Gloomy delegates
commented privately that dis
armament was dead for the pres
ent because the Soviet Union IS
capitalizing on its scientific and
weapons advances. while the
United States is committed to a
major strengthening of the NATO
alliance.
Technically. the positions of the
opposing sides remain the same:
The Soviet Union demands an
immediate ban on nuclear weap-
ons and nuclear testing; the West
is standing firm against such a
ban unless a "foolproof" inspec-
ton and control system is set up
first.

"above all the United States" OF
sabotaging disarmament efforts
and continuing to threaten the
world with nuclear destruction.
But concern in the United States
over the Soviet accomplishments
was plainly not altering the deter
mined opposition of Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles to con-
ferences with the Russians. Amid
unofficial reports that he would
resign his post if President Eisen-
hover accepted the summit" pro-
posals of Moscow. the State De-
partment on Thursday in effect
rejected the Khrushchev bid, al
though not so absolutely as to
rule out future consideration. Mr..
Dulles, leaving for rest at his
Duck Island retreat on Lake On
tario, told reporters that he
thought existing international ma
chinery was adequate to prevent
the use of force to settle disputes.
Mr.. Dulles is said to be con-
cerned lest Mr.. Eisenhower be
''pressured" into agreeing to new
top-level talks with the Soviet
Union by our allies when the Pres
ident attends the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization Council ses-
sion in Paris next month. The
Secretary has not troubled to
mask his opposition to talks with

portedly feels negotiations with
