Rear Admiral H. @. Rickover, the
Nays expert on nuclear powered sub
marines, thinks the public has mot fully
appreciated" the significance Of the re-
cent 1,383-mile cruise Of the U.S.S. Maui
titus under the Arctic ice. He told the
Overseas Press Club in New York that
the achievement means that an atomic
submarine can move quickly from one
ocean to another via shortcut across
the top Of the world. In time Of war
or a threat Of war, this capacity could
be of great military value.

Checked Trend?

Even as In our own country, interim
election results in Britain are studied
closely for some clue as to national
political trends. For the past two years,
since the general election in 1855, the
Labor Party has recorded consistent
gains in voting strength in is by
House Of Commons. Actually, the con-
trolling Conservative Party has lost only
one seat in this series of tests, and its
parliamentary majority remains COM
fortably large. But the trend as whole
seems to have been against 1t.
In a.key by -election last week, how
ever, the Southeast Leicester constit-
uency returned Conservative to Com
mons with solid margin Of 1902 votes
to II SAL for his Laborite opponent. And
while this majority was somewhat less
than that given the Conservative candi-
date two years ago, 1t reflected the
smallest shift in party preference re-
corded in all the interim contests since
1855. Perhaps most significant in the
prevote campaigning was the fact that
emphasis in this case was on domestic
economic questions rather than upon
foreign policy. The ill-advised Suez
action nearly IA months ago resulted in
considerable disapproval in Britain Of
the Conservative government, and It's
lack Of strength at the polls was marked
In subsequent tests. In recent weeks,
however, increasing attention has been
paid to economic problems-particularly
the governments resistance to wide
spread wage increases during time when
infiationary pressures are strong.
Accordingly, with some apparent
Justification, Conservative leaders are
pointing to the South Leicester results
as an Endorsement of this policy. Fur
thermore, subsequent Conservative
victory in Liverpool constituency, even
though by reduced margin, showed a
comparable loss in the Laborite vote
with the Liberal candidate picking up
the extra strength. No doubt there will
be other tests OF British political senti-
ment before another general election Is
called. But at the moment, whether
wishful or not, the Conservatives like
to think that their recent showings may
mark the beginning Of the end Of the
prof. aborite trend.

Vienna Is GROWING Up

In view Of the towns phenomenal
growth since World War II, IL Is not sur
priSing to learn that Vienna, a once quiet
rural village in Fairfax County, Is look
ing forward to becoming a first-class
Virginia city. The trend toward city
status will be accelerated on January /
when the towns area will be doubled
through annexation of two square miles
Of county territory.
Old-timers who remember Vienna In
pre-World War II days have been
amazed by the transformation which
has taken place in the past decade. In
It's rural days the village was the center
Of an extensive dairy farming area, with
most of its residents employed on farms
or In businesses serving farmers Of the
vicinity. Now, however, many fields
which were farms are thriving residen-
tial subdivisions, most Of whose resi-
dents work for the Federal Government.
The town, chartered In 1890, has had
difficulty In providing the sewer, water
and other public services demanded by
the newcomers. Because 1t was bursting
at the seams, the town took steps
through the courts to expand eastward
and northward into Fairfax County.
The expansion, sanctioned by three
Judge court, will become effective upon
the close Of the current calendar year.
The towns business center has
grown by leaps and bounds in the past
several years, and the development still
goes on. Vienna has modern shopping
center along its main street. The pop
ulation has more than doubled since the
war to about $780, The annexation will
add approximately $500 to the list,
bringing the population within 1000 Of
the 10000 needed to qualify it for first-
class-city status. The town tentatively
is aiming toward such a status, so that
1t can function as a completely inde-
pendent municipality.
Meanwhile Vienna is preparing to
extend its facilities and services into
the annexed area and is recognizing its
administrative setup accordingly. The
first step may be the hiring OF town
manager. For 1t is obvious that Vienna
is outgrowing its present management
system.
The towns administration has in
dicated that 1t Is alert to the challenge
of the towns growth and that 1t Is de-
termined to keep the town abreast Of
residential and business development.

the Jump on the Russians. Admiral
Rickover said that las far as we know"
the Soviet navy has not yet perfected
submarine comparable to our Nautilus
class. However. the latest issue of So
vetsky Flot. ofiicial publication of the
Soviet navy, asserted that Russian sci-
entists have developed rocket that can
be Aired from submerged submarine at

that we have been working on, and may
have almost perfected. similar rockets.
Such q rocket-armed submarine, II

could make secret approach toward It's
target-presumably key base or city
beneath the Arctic ice. A fleet OF such
vessels might make the passage under
the North Pole without fear Of detection
by usual methods. The thought Is q
grim particularly when 1t Is con-
sidered that the under-ice route be-
tween the Atlantic and the Pacific
Oceans Is q two-way affair.

Whct Happens Next?

The AFL-CIo has demonstrated It's
determination to clean It's house OF UNI
faithful leaders and corrupt practices.
The vote to expel the Transfers reflects
credit on the overwhelming majority
of the Federation membership and on
President George Meany and those
officers who supported his stand. Still
an important question remains: What
happens next?
For the Transfers themselves, there
was a SOLDERING reminder Of their plight
In the report of Federation committee
recommending the expulsion. 1t pointed
out that the unions members ARE them
selves the victims of the corruption
which has blackened the name Of their
union" and expressed the hope that they
would take "the necessary steps" to
clean UP their own leadership. We doubt
that they can. There has been no sign
that President-elect Jimmy Hoffa, the
principal target of the Federations dis
ciplinary action, or President Dave Beck.
who has remained in ONCE despite
charges against him. have any intention
of stepping out. Indeed, reported last
minute efforts to get commitment from
Mr.. Hoffa that he would step aside In
return for q reprieve for his union were
unavailing.
There Is a possibility, of course, that
the AFL-CIO vote, plus court actions
pending against Mr.. Hofia, win lead to
the necessary house-cleaning IN the
Teamsters Brotherhood. But there Is
also possibility, greater one we think.
that this will not happen.
And what II this does not happen?
The Transfers Union. even though ex-
PEELED from the AFL-CIO, viii still func-
ton as a union. 1t win continue to be
able TO exert its tremendous power over
the economy of this country, And 1t
will continue to enjoy all Of the dement's
and privileges conferred by law on
unions. All of this despite the fact that
this corrupt, racketeering union has
been booted out of the AFL-CIO in the
name Of common decency.
Is this thoroughly discredited OUTFIT
to be permitted to keep on preying on
the American people and. indeed. on its
own membership? The AFL-CIO can
not prevent It, There is nothing more
that 1t can do. The relief, II there is to
be any relief, must come, we believe,
from new legislation. Congress ought
to provide in the plainest terms that
rackets operating in the guise Of unions
will no longer be tolerated in this
country. But Congress will be loath TO
do this. In all probability no such legis-
lation will be passed unless there is an
overwhelming public demand for 1t. We
hope the people will light very hot fire
under their representatives on Capitol
Hill.

The failure of the Vanguard rocket,
we suppose. was just one of those things.
Missiles are complicated mechanisms:
they have failed before and they will
fail again.
With this said, however, the fact
remains that the inglorious end to our
first satellite launching" could hardly
have come at an unhappier time. The
Russians, although they may have had
failures of their own, are riding high
on the strength Of their two successful
launchings. Had we been able to project
our satellite into orbit, even though 1t
Is tiny Sl2-pound affair, we would have
had something to show for our own
efforts in this field. But now that the
launching has fizzled, the Kremlin, we
presume, will reap another propaganda
harvest. And when the delegates as
semble for the forthcoming NATO meet
Ing in Paris they will be filled with
something less than unreStrained en-
thusiaSm for that famed American
know-how, about which so much has
been heard.
There Is nothing to be done at this
time, however. except to swallow our
disappointment and get on with the job.
The day will come when a United States
satellite will be circling the globe. But
that day evidently is not just around the
corner. Pending its arrival, 1t might
be better II all of US were to talk less
about what we are going to do-and
get II done

job ct holding his party to-
gether than any of the other
COP. Senators.
Senator Knowland intends
to crossfile for both the Re-
publican and Democratic GU
bernatorial nominations in
the primary election set for
next June Z. In 1852, he won
both the Republican and
Democratic nominations for
the Senate. With Attorney
General pat" Brown, q pop
ular Democrat, running for
Governor. Knowland Is not
expected TO repeat his five-
year-old victory in the DEM
ocratic side of the primary.
But 1t will be interesting to
see how many votes he gets
from registered Democrats.
In his 1852 victory in the pri-
mary, Knowland carried all
So California counties for the
Republican nomination, and
81 Of the counties for the
Democratic nomination.
Campaigning Must Wait
While Knowland will now
be free to spend most Of his
time In Washington during
the Congress session, he will
make visits to California be-
tween the first Of the year
and the June primary, to
state his position on the
issues which viii enter the
campaign. But his heavy
campaigning will wait until
he has finished his work here
with the Senate. A straw in
the political wind, blown up
in q special election to I'LL a
vacancy in the State legisla-
ture November 10. was the
victory of a Republican.
Two Republicans were run
ming against three Democrats,
and one Of the Democrats
had the strong support Of the
labor union leaders.
The total vote for the two
Republican candidates was
greater than the total vote
for the three Democrats.
Into the election was injected
the right to work" issue.
which Knowland has es-
poused, and which the labor
leaders have denounced. The
issue in California is called
voluntary unionism versus
compulsory unionism." In
this Assembly district the
Democrats outnumbered the
Republicans - as they do
throughout the State. The
special election had been
called to I'LL a vacancy caused
by the resignation Of a Re-
publican Assemblyman.
Senator Knowland I'M
doubtedly will face q desper-
ately hard fight by a better
organized Democratic Party
next year. He realizes that,
and is doing everything he
can to prevent any feeling Of
complacency or overconfi-
dence on the part of California
Republicans. But by and
large, Knowland is expected
70 have the support Of all the
COP. leaders and the rank
and file of his party. If ne
can hold on to enough Demo-
Gratis and independents, he

Many waSps manage to get
themselves into attics in the

When they finally emerge,
they die almost at once, so
one may wonder why they go
to attics and other places Of
refuge.
There is no use blaming a
bee or wasp or other such
creature for singing.
It Is q wholly automatic
response.
Medical men say one
should take out the stinger,
II one can. but too often one
can't.
Some sensitive persons
even die from such a sting.
