Posh British Cars Challenge Detroit

The Rolls Royce Silver Cloud
which you can get with an espresso
coffee machine installed. can have
refrigeration only for export. The
same is true of the Bentley Model S.
This is hardly mortal blow to
the British motorists. In a country
where 20 degrees Fahrenheit is a
heat wave, who needs refrigeration?
And in country where the pur-
chase tax is slightly more than so
per cent--the Singer Gazette for
instance, is advertised at 500
pounds ($1 ,674.4O plus a pur-
chase tax of 300 pounds shillings
t$840 3D. who wants to run the
cost up?
The British designers are still
forging ahead One of them, the
fellow planning the Wolseley 600,
has solved the problem of that
clumsy gear shift lever on the
steering column. Know where he's
put it? On the floor.
The makers of the Austin. noting
Detroit trends. have been strug-
Cling, too. to make the automobiles
lower. They achieved the goal in
novel fashion in the case of the
Austin A SO and you'd never guess
how they did it, They put smaller
wheels on it, that's what they did.
There is one field, though, in
which the British automakers are
not prepared to show the Ameri-
cans any tricks. Neither have the
British come up with dashboard
or facia panel-clock guaranteed
to tell time.

For q Passive Defense

Thus far the discussion has been
confined to offensive warfare. What
about the defense? What do we
do about an about attack on this
country? l do not believe the Mag
inot-Line philosophy. but, I think
that passive defense has much
merit as compared to active de-
tense. We can hope to prevent a
considerable fraction of an attack
ing force from finding its targets.
But we cannot stop them all. Fur
thermore. the weapons are becom-
ing so effective that even a frac-
ton of them may produce a devas-
tating effect.
Is there any possible defense in
q situation of this kind? / believe
that there is a defense. I do not
think that the defense is satisfac-
tory, but at the same time it might
turn out to be exceedingly effective.
1t may make the difference be-
tween victory and defeat. 1t may
slso make the difference between
being able to avoid a war by being
prepared and provoking a war by
not being prepared.
have in mind three phases Of
the defense.

can successfully undertake in this
country. For the time being, the
Russians are not able to undertake
it. Let me try to explain.
Today we have food SURPRISES. We
could store these surpluses in such
a way that in the case Of an all
out attack. we still could feed our
population for. let us say, two years.
In two years we would have time
enough to find out where food can
be grown again, where contaminat-
ed areas can be cleaned up.
In many other ways we will have
to look for the least vulnerable
things to rely upon. and for ways
to store the things with which we
can rebuild. Our system of rail-
roads is likely to be completely
knocked out, at least for the mo-
ment. Our system Of roads will
stand up. 1t is probable that vital
spots such as bridges will be out of
commission. 1t is possible to store
repair equipment near such vulner-
able points. We can be back in
business within a few hours of any
attack Let's have an overproduc-
ton Of cars. But let's put it mostly
into trucks, and store them in safe
places. We should also have avail
able spare gasoline supplies.
Our factories will be in ruins. but
we can store power units. For that
purpose, nuclear energy might be
the best. We can store machine
tools. We can store parts. These
things will be extremely expensive
much more expensive than to
make the underground shelters. I
am not sure that it can be done.
But / think there is at least
chance that it might be done, and
we should at least investigate it.
Now, even if we be so prepared,
an attack would be terrible. But
the main point is this:
II we so prepare ourselves that
q terrible attack could hurt us
but could not destroy us. then
such an attack, I believe, will
never come.
We can make sure that we can
have the forces to strike back. not
only to hurt an enemy, but to de-
stroy him.
Should a nuclear war come, I
think its duration is likely to be
inversely proportional to its size.
do have the feeling that big
nuclear war will never come. But
If it comes, the period in which
such a war will be most devastating
will be very short, indeed. 1t will
be measured In hours, possibly in
fractions Of hours. The period in
which the decision is made as to
who wins the war, on the other
hand, will be long. such ~ ten

Bills Pour In

Meanwhile, Northern Senators
hoped to hasten the progress of
civil rights legislation by intro
ducing numerous bills during the
first full week of the new Congress.
Senator Dirksen. Republican of
Illinois. reintroduced the admins
tration program that failed last
year, and Senator Humphrey Of
fered an even dozen bills that
ranged from a prohibition of the
poll tax to a strengthening Of anti
slavery laws.
Some Senators believed that the
rash of new racial outbreaks in the
South during the week-the most
violent single week in many months
would strengthen their case.
The incidents occurred in: =
. Montgomery, Ala, where explo-
sions damaged two Negro churches
and the homes of two Negro min
listers. For the sixth time in three
weeks. an integrated city bus was
the target of Snipers.
. Mobile, Ala, where a Negroes
home was bombed and three crosses
were burned in the yards of Ne
groes.
. Beaumont, Tex, where a bomb
damaged the home Of a Negro
in a mixed neighborhood.
. Memphis, Tenn, where a Negro
soldier was beaten by police who
said he had been familiar with a
white woman.

BY JOHN F. sEMBOWER

CHICAGO-As Inauguration Day
approaches for the man who re-
soundingly defeated him for the
presidency, Adlai Stevenson faces
the future without remorse, sorrow,
Illustration or bitterness. according
to his friends.
He defies classification with the
other also-rans of history who fall
conveniently into two groups:
Those, who like Clay, Bryan and
James G. Blaine retained conSum-
ing passions to occupy the White
House, and, at the opposite pole,
those who like Samuel J. Tilden.
Horatio Seymour, Alton B. Parker
or James Cox, turned away with a
finality akin to revulsion from what
they obviously regarded as a highly
unpleasant interlude.
Certainly no other presidential
aspirant who failed has appeared
more at peace within himself than
Mr.. Stevenson. He is the very OPP
posite of Horace Greeley, who
seemed to wither away and died
only three weeks after election day,
and even of his fellow Illinoisian,
Stephen A. Douglas, who died at 48,
only few months after Lincoln
frustrated his presidential bid.
Following a brief quail-hunting
vacation after the campaign, Mr..
Stevenson dug into the affairs Of
the law firm he formed here before
the going got heavy for the nomina-
ton. He soon dispelled rumors
that he would move to California,
where the political climate may be
more favorable to him, and run for
the United States Senate from
there.
Mr.. Stevenson unquestionably has
been pleased and moved by the
more than 10000 letters he has
received from supporters since
President Eisenhower's overwhelm-
ing reelection. many Of them pro-
testing his decision never again to
run for President. There is reward
in the realization that more than
few citizens will have a thought
for "the man who might have been"
when the inaugural parade moves
down Pennsylvania avenue. But
there is no indication that decision
will change.
Affairs Of the new law firm have

side has gained superiority in the
air. He certainly can keep his OPP
ponent's navy off the surface of the
sea. But he cannot, with any SINH
lar assurance keep his opponent
submarine navy from doing almost
whatever the submarine navy wants
to do.
II seems to me that, so far as
our future Navy is concerned,
the conclusion is inescapable-
we should build a submarine
Navy.
In the case of the Army, I am
sure that SO out of a 100 people
continue to think about some sort
Of a front-line approach. A few
talk about some territory belong
Ing to one army here and some
territory belonging to the other
army there. l believe that the con-
ccptS are likely TO become as out
modcd as the concept of a surface
Navy.
World War II was fought by
armies on really massive scale.
Hundreds of thousands of people
were concentrated into one often
sive operation. At a time when we
will have plenty of atomic weapons,
both big and small, it will be suicide
to put SO many people into such a
small bit of territory.
1t so happens that atomic wea-
ponS, which made concentration i'm
practical, also make it possible for
us to fight without concentrating.
The moment you have light. easily
transported but effective weapons:
the moment you have modern
methods of transportation on the
ground. over water, under water.
and in the all the moment you
have modern methods of commu-
nication where units spread hun
dreds of miles apart can still keep
in touch with each other, then it
becomes possible for small battle
groups, consisting of no more than
a few hundred people, to operate
Independently OF INDEPENDENTLY,
and also effectively.
The real difficulty in building
such a force is not, think. likely
to be a technical one. The real
difficulty will be human. For a
few hundred people to be self
sufficient will require courage.
endurance, determination all
the soldierly virtues. 1t will re-
quire specialists. 1t will require
professionals who can keep in re-
pair intricate pieces Of equipment
in the field. 1t will require peo-
pie who can survive in a strange
country under battle conditions.
