In the Old Days


You Didn't Need Psychiatrist
ALMOST EVERYW H E r E
YOU LOOK today, you see and
hear about psychoanalysis and
people who are on the verge of
having Mysteries. Mental illness is
a major national problem and the
nerves of our whole nation can
be heard weeping and wailing.
Once we teased and kidded the
fair sex as they continually opened
most conversations with. "My doe
tor seq :" This has been chang
ed and now they open with "My
psychiatrist told me :. :"
What in the world has caused
whole nation to change in less
than score of years from casual,
relaxed living to bunch of
hysterical, nervous psyche cases ?
The answer is pretty simple, but
of course will never help a
troubled world for always we must
press onward with never the time
to look backward.
Now we worship our Lord with
lip service real well, and work day
and night to erect great churches
in his name. But few years ago
we did the same things on much
smaller scale.
REMEMBER THE OLD FASH
IONED ice cream suppers we once
had to raise money for the new
pews we needed at the church =?
Remember how the kids would all
gather around and the ice cream
was made by hand and every boy
helped turn the old hand-crank, ice
cream freezer, and the boy who
did the most got the chance to lick
the dasher.
Every kid had one nickel to
spend on ice cream and the Ladies'
Aid always served it in saucers
brought. from home and the only
flavor was vanilla. All the kids
would stay until the supper was
over, for occasionally too much
ice cream was made, then it was
passed out Unfortunately to
them.
REMEMBER HOW ONE old
deacon always helped sell the ice
cream and would often forget to
ask the kids for their nickels? He
was the favorite with the boys for
they always stood chance of get
ting free saucer of ice cream
when he was dealing.
Then on Sunday morning follow
ing the ice cream supper, every
boy in the community would visit
the site of the previous nights
supper and go over the ground

neither the United States nor
the Soviet Union faces ruin if
the arms race continues. They
could merely do more for their
people II the race were stopped
or slowed down.
New Weapons Less Costly
In some ways. the Soviet
Union is finding the move into
nuclear weapons systems to be
less costly than conventional
systems. The old Soviet methods
of using masses of men required
masses Of steel to support them.
Streamlined. nuclear forces re-
quire less steel, giving the Krem-
lin more to pillow into its indus
trialization.
The pride of the Communist
leadership in its swift indus
trialization is another factor in
fiuencing the search for an
arms Limitation formula.
The vast Russian industrial
base is the only thing the Soviet
leadership has to show for the
brutality. starvation and indig-
mites it has forced on the Soviet
peoples. Leaders know that a
big nuclear war would destroy
in one stroke all this industriali-
acquired at such painful
cost.
Another measure Of Soviet de-
sires for an arms limitation
agreement is the change in po-
sition on aerial inspection. When
President Eisenhower first pre-
scented his open skies" plan
in Geneva, Communist Party
Leader Nikita Khrushchev joined
him at the buffet table and ac-
cused him of proposing a vast
intelligence" operation against
the Soviet Union.
Leaders Less Secretive
Now the Moscow leaders, who
have shown a tendency to be less
secretive than their predecessor.
have accepted the principle Of
aerial inspection and are turn
ing to what geography should be
covered.
Most Of the. evidence points.
then. toward a real Soviet need
for an arms limitation plan.
No one in Washington is ready

atoms and that cit mystifies me"

He went on to explain his con-
cern over increasingly higher de-
tense costs and added that the
budget could not be cut without
delaying modernizatAon Of the
armed forces. cutting back re-
search and development and re-
ducing the number of men in
uniform.
Best Possible. Radford Says
Admiral Arthur w. Radford,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Stan, testified that he wanted
to emphasize that the budget
for the fiscal year beginning
July /. lis as well balanced as
the best military planning and
thinking could devise"
I'VE believe it to be a sound
budget and a necessary one If
we are to have the type Of de-
tense for this country which will
insure the security of our peo-
pie and institutions" ne as
serted. Large cuts in the budget
would not only disturb that
balance. but. in the opinion Of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff would
risk the security of the Nation
and the free world"
The House Appropriations
Committee has proposed that
more than $2.5 billion be slashed
from the $36.l billion Mr.. Eisen-
hover has asked for the armed
services for next year.
Quiz by Chavez
Chairman Chavez, Democrat
Of New Mexico. called attention
to the fact that the Armed
Forces had some $3S.7 billion on
the books and that Is per cent
would be unobligated at the end
Of the fiscal year.

to concede that the Kremlin
leadership suddenly can be
trusted. But the time may have
come for a "self-enforcing"
agreement on arms limitation,
one which does not rely on any
trust in Soviet sincerity.
This is the principle the adj
ministratio mis- now streSsing.
If agreement is finally reached
it will not come quickly or be
sweeping, officials are certain.
They expect that the National
Security Council will be study
ing methods of cautious adj
vancement toward agreement for
the next two years-provided the
Soviet Union is not scared of
by some new satellite uprising
or other threat it could attribute
to the West.

Arms Cutbocks Risky,
Wilson Tells Senators

1t is q most distressing prob
lem." he told Mr.. Wilson.
The Secretary explained that
he had been whiting down"
the unobligatNl balances ever
since he had been in ONCE. How
ever. he said such money was
necessary to finance the military
programs on a long range basis
under the Governments fiscal
policies.
Senator Bridges. Republican Of
New Hampshire. called attention
to the fact that some years ago
the system had been to author
ize certain projects and then APP
Ipropriate the funds each year
with q resultant lack Of carry
over.
Its going to cost The same
amount either way" Mr.. Wilson
replied.
He called attention to increas-
ing costs as being q factor In the
huge spending program.
Like Mr.. Eisenhower at his
news conference yesterday, Mr.
Wilson said that the bookkeep-
ing savings amounting to $l.a
billion out Of the total Of $2.5
billion trimmed by the commit
tee would be satisfactory. al
though some Of this would have
to be restored later.
Predicts Restoring Of Cuts
As to the balance of the cuts
Mr.. Wilson said that 1T should
be recognized that most of them
have to be restored In subsequent
years"
The Secretary was fianked by
all the top Pentagon brass in
GLIDING the service Secretaries
and the Joint Chiefs Of Staff.
I'VE hope that your commit
tee will see At to restore most
of the amounts Of the proposed
cuts because they represent
adjustments downward in our

defense program of considerable
magnitude and seriousness" Mr..
Wilson said. IF permitted to
stand. ! believe that reductions
Of the magnitude proposed would
amount to gambling unwisely
with the security Of the Nation. 3"
He reviewed the steps taken
in preparation of the defense
budget, including an estimate
Of the international situation
given by the Joint Chiefs.
Sees Present Danger
Mr.. Wilson declared:
IT believe that this Is still
an accurate picture Of the situa-
ton we face. While some may
believe that there Is current
hope for improvement in the
international situation there's
no real basis. as far as / can
see. for assuming that the dam
ger has already lessened. Cuts
based on hope alone are too
risky
Europe and the Far East are
still full of difficult. unresolved
problems. While the shooting
has stopped in the Middle East,
the problems In that part Of
the world have not been re-
solved and by the time our
present defense budget passes
Congress. new. dificult situa-
tions there or elsewhere in the
world could confront US.
Short Of real improvement
in international relations or a
disarmament agreement with
proper safeguards. ! do not see
how our basic policy Of military
strength can safely be changed
or that real reductions In our
security programs can be made.
This Is not only my view but Is
the unanimous position Of the
Joint Chiefs and the secretaries
of the military departments"
Hits Research Cuts
Turning to proposed reduc-
tons in research and develop
ment funds. Mr.. Wilson said that
account had already been "cut
back drastically from the orig
inal request of the military serv-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-05-23

ices and I do not believe that
further cuts can be justified.
The reductions which the
committee recommended to be
applied to the fields of major
procurement in the Navy and
Air Force will. for the most part,
have the direct effect Of reducing
the military program. the princi-
pal impact being in the field of
aircraft. ships and missile pro-
curement.
Il believe that these cuts
should be restored. he declared.
A principal reduction In this
category 10 In the purchase of
spare parts including engines for
aircraft. Mr.. Wilson said con-
siderable prograss had already
been made in such reductions.
