The Washington Letter
Nuclear Weapons Advances
Recalls Pope's Warning

With nations talking in
terms of intercontinental bal
listic missiles, of ultra-modern
methods of detecting such mis-
siles in flight, and of anti-mis-
sile missiles that will intercept
an enemy missile and destroy
it in the skies, man is relying
more and more upon electron-
les and automation.
Nations are striving to bring
these three devices to perfec-
ton, because if a hostile mis-
sile should be launched, it
would require instantaneous
detection and interrogation if
counter measures are to be eff
fective. Thus machines would
be on the alert, and would 60
into action upon receiving a
certain impulse.
One possible situation now
suggested is that detection and
retaliation machinery might be
set off even without a hostile
missile being in the sky. How
would this sensitive machinery
tell the difference between a
hostile missile and some other
fast-traveling object, say a met
cor? It is theorized that some
foreign body, bringing a reac-
ton from the mechanical detec-
tor, might automatically set off
retaliatory missiles, and the
world would be att atomic war
without man ever lifting his
hand. It might even be at war
before man knew il.
This awesome situation, ap-
parently, is not yet at hand.

BY jack wozIAkoWsKI
The situation of the
Church in Poland today,
while not ideal, is far bet
ter than during the OPP
preston of the Stalinist
era which came to an end
almost a year ago.
Since last years polish Oc-
tober' brought q new COM
munist regime to power under
Wladyslaw Gomulka, whose
support of Polish national
aims and abandonment of ter
roristic methods won him the
backing Of the vast majority
of his countrymen, the Church
has made important gains.
Catholic Poles, furthermore.
have high hopes that the Church
can make still greater advances
now that il has been given
wider freedom.

standing with the nations ov-
erwhelming majority Of cstho-
lies who comprise more than
20 per cert of the Polish popv.
Istion.
Warsaw's communist daily,
Trybuna Ludu, admitting that
past Stalinist intolerance had
strengthened the religious fer
vor of the great mass of Cath
Ollie Poles, told party members
they must henceforth rely on
a free contest of ideas to prove
the superiority of materialism
over religion.
"We must not take any steps
which would create friction on
religious grounds" Trybuna Lu-
du said. "The new policy of the
government toward the Church
thus postulates full and per-
sistent tolerance in religious
matters"
Polish Catholics, on the other
hand, are we'll aware of the
fact that their country must
maintain good relations with
the Soviet Union and know that
this can be done only if Pol
and has a communist govern
ment.
Earlier this year an article in
the Catholic newspaper with
which | am associated, the Uni
versal Weekly Of Cracow,
stated:
"Gomulka's program truly
constitutes for Poland the only
realistic road to strengthen
our sovereignty and develop
characterization and our econ
omy."
One Of the men connected
with my paper, Stsnislsw Stom-
ma, who is now head Of the
znak, the Catholic group in the
Polish Seim lPsrlismentl, stat
ed in . speech there that while
Theological differences divide
Us from the Soviet Union" the
Catholic group believes that
"fhe interests Of the country
demand strict adherence 10 the
PoIish-Soviet alliance"
Catholic hopes for future
gains by the Church in Poland
are based on those already
achieved.
Under Stalinist rule, for ex-
ample, religious professions
were outlawed. But on the feast
of Corpus Christi this year

through the streets of Warsaw

or Of enjoying life.
Many students avoid science
courses as hard. or for squares
If the science bug bites them
later on in college, they find
they'll have to 60 back. at extra
time and expense. to make up
what they had missed, or else
turn to some other career.
Russian students in 10-year
schools have taken five years
Of physics. six Of math, three
of biology. four of chemistry.
Many bright students can't
afford college. Systems of schol-
arships are being suggested SO
that able. interested students
can go on to college-in all
fields of learning, not just
science.
Some prominent spokesman
urge more and better science

scientists, but everyone. so that

cause they see higher pay and

Scientists Salaries Vary
Some scientists make very
good incomes. Some are no.
toriously underpaid, especially
in teaching and basic research,
and especially by standards Of
their contributions to human
welfare and progress.

JOBS in industry generally pay

well be higher now.

$8,100 for Ph.Ds. in chemical
engineering and $500 for
Phi. DIS. in chemistry to $500

society said that Phi. DIS going
into industry averaged 38 per
cent higher paychecks than
those going into teaching.
Other Rewards in Science
Money is not the sole reward
for most scientists. They would
like more. of course. Their
rewards include doing what
they like. being creative. learn
ing more, finding values that
carry no dollar sign.
