Taking the Snore Out of a Spouse

says that 1915 million in the
United States snore regularly

fantastic assortment Of huns,
wheezes, snorts and roars." Vi

In referring to the many

gives this case history: IAN

Gated gadget to cure his wife's
snoring. The contraption,
when inserted into her mouth,
was supposed to ring a bell
every time she snored. Unfor-
tunately, the lady swallowed
the gadget and 1t required the
desperate efforts of a pulmotor
squad to bring her back to this
world again. The engineer, ex-
ceedingly glad to regain his
wife. snore and all, diScontin-
ued his inventive efforts to curb
her nocturnal vocalizing."

since the men In uniform
cannot publicly answer such
charges. In peace time, top
brass is fair game for poll
ticians.
There is. Of course, inter-
service rivalry which has Its
good and its bad aspects.
But the generals and adj
mirals in the Pentagon are
not policy makers. Further
more. their advice to the
civilian chiefs on major mat
tiers Is frequently not taken

decisions on such things as

The decision was made by
the scientists themselves to

program and let the stunts in
outer space take plenty Of
time. Nobody can prove
there was any military adj

Mr.. Eisenhower. with

not hesitate to speak highly

The rivalry among the

las II this alone had sonne-
thing to do with the Russian
victory" Actually. the COM
petition In research Is q good
incentive. and the real re-
sponsibility for the delay in
) working on problems OF
outer space can be traced
to lassitude that occurred
under the Truman admins
tration. Naive officials then
almost passed UP the hydro
gen bomb when the top
scientists were moralizing.
Those episodes didn't expe-
dite the projects that would
have put America far ahead
in the race for prestige In

The President isn't going
to rush into big expenditures
just because Of what the Rus
SLAMS have done. He Is likely
to ask Congress for more
money only when our own
trusted scientists think II can
be well spent--and they have
not urged any major change
In recent months and are not
likely to do so. even In the
face Of RusSia's stunt.
Mr.. Eisenhower Is keeping

asked.
Mr.. Forbes tried TO meet
her question in several ways.
He was sure money could be
saved in the State govern
ment which could be applied
to help Its colleges. He told
her q bond issue for such
schools was in his program
and he'd fight hard for It.
He mentioned that many
people wanted schools but
didn't vote the taxes or
bonds TO pay for them. The
reply was clearly less than
convincing to this mother.
However, like her neigh.
bors In that particular burn
ished suburban area, she

so her vote is probably safe.
Her preoccupation with the
education problem is another
sample Of what the politicians
all report from the grass
roots. including those who
are applauded for their econ
omy demands. People want
public spending to stop. all
right, but in the other fell

search indicates that Amer
leans. unlike the New Jersey
woman, tend to vote their
special interests more and

ton less and less.
Mr.. Forbes is certain that
with the economy issue and
an insurance scandal he has
made important gains since
his early days as a long shot
against the attractive and
popular Gov. Meyner. He be-
lieves he is profiting from his

because he dissented pui-
licly from the civilian chiefs.
Regardless OF how the
three chiefs of staff may
feel, individually or collec-
lively. about our military de-
tense problems. considera-
tions such as the need for
cutting down the budget
are given priority by the pol
itical men in charge of our
national defense. 1t is sell
dom that the top brass can
testify frankly before Con-
gressional committees. Their
testimony must dovetail with
the views and policies Of
their superiors who are pol
iticians with an eye to the
next elections and the well
fare Of the party in Office.
AS q matter Of fact, there
was repeatedly little panic
among the responsible mill
tary men when the news Of
the launching Of the Soviet
satellite was released. The
general feeling was that the
Russians had achieved a
great deal Of success propa-
ganda-w wise and from the
point Of view Of the present
psychological warfare.
While it would be fatal
for US to underestimate our
enemies. it would be also I'M
wise to overrate their capa-
bilities. The Russians have
achieved q great degree Of
chronological know-how in a
short time. For instance, they
now have q formidable sur
face and submarine navy.
During World War II we and
the British had to lend them
some ANTICIPATED vessels
which were returned to US
in a deplorable state. Be-

force which seldom II ever

type Of Jet bompers and
fighters. But what Is ques-
tionable Is their capacity to
fight their ships and planes.
The latest types Of vessels DO
not assure victory at sea.
After the Japanese hit US
at Pearl Harbor, it looked as
If we would have an almost
impossible task ahead Of US.
Yet within q few months,
after the Coral Sea and Md
way battles. we more than
equalized the situation. This
happened because our men
were able to fight their ships
more skillfully than the
enemy. The question in the
minds Of our Navy is how
well the Russians, who never
won a victory at sea. will be
able to handle their ships.
A few weeks ago the news
was released for the FIRST
time that during the Korean
war three American Sabre
jets engaged in an air battle
with seven Soviet MICS over
the yellow Sea. All our jets
returned safely to base while
only one Russian escaped
destruction. This may not
mean enough in this era Of
intercontinental missiles. But
it proves that so long as
wars involve fighting men we
can rely on the skill Of ours.
The development Of last
week was unquestionably
spectacular. But. say the
men in uniform, II our polit-
zeal leaders do not play poll
tics with the national de-
tense, we can catch up and
exceed the power Of the
USSR in that field without
trouble, provided we set our
minds to 1t. As q matter Of
fact, they contend. the
launching of the Sputnik
may have been helpful to

them insist that the Govern
ment find ways to economic
