what q strange case OF
filters has swept the most
powerful country in the
worldl The soviets shoot q
rocket $50 miles up In the
air and send q bali spinning
into space and everybody
forgets that the United
States Army sent a rocket
600 miles into the air a year
ago. It went $500 miles
across the earth's surface
and Just didn't happen to
have q ball attached to II
to Be flung into space.
Yet today the emphasis is
on the fact that the Soviets
have the power to fire guided
missiles across continents.
and presumably America
doesn't. This Is supposed to
terrify the American people
and tell them that Russia
has intercontinental missiles
and America had better bow
in humble submission.
The truth is that, in the
game Of missiles. much prog
ress has been made by science
In many countries and the
question of whether one ma
ton can fire q missile farther
than another Is already
academic. In due time. the
mysteries Of the missile will
be as well known as the
capacity Of the H-bomb to
destroy cities. Also the next
step - the interception Of
missiles-is q eountermove
already under way.
Some Of the historical re-
action arising IN the United
States from the Soviet an
nouncement was promptly
noted IN the Soviet press.
Immediately there were
demands that America
~chanse" her foreign policy
and agree to ''coexiStence."
This IL but another way Of
demanding that the, Soviet
policy be accepted. This
means infiltration wherever
the Communists wish and
continued enslavement of
hundreds Of millions Of peo-
pie.
Judging from some Of the
comments IN America. there
are persons who feel the only
thing 10 do is to surrender TO
the Russians and forget
about any possible resist
ance. One Is reminded Of

Administration Seen Minimizing Event
While Johnson Presses for an Inquiry

As the Soviet Sputnik
sailed near the Nations
Capital. the Eisenhower ad-
ministration continued to
minimize its importance.
The President drove to the
White House after lunch from
a golfing week end at Gettys-
burg. Secretary Of State Dull

hold his weekly press brief
ing because he had to talk
with Canadian ofiicials.
At the Pentagon where q
deep sense Of Illustration
reigns. nobody talked Of any
thing else but the historic
Developments Of the past few
days. But nothing ofnciai was
being done. and 1t is recog-
nized that this one win be
handled ct the White House,
not by the services or by the
Joint Chiefs Of Stan.
A challenge arrived from
Congress which could be
significant. Senator George
Smathers Of Florida is SEN

don Johnson's presently most
favored political lieutenant.

Richard Russell to make an

The dramatic launching Of

statements to the contrary,
II had to be admitted that
the intelligence services,
which cost the American tax

caught mapping.
It is too early. 1t was said
in responsible quarters, to
measure the military conse-
quences 10 this country Of
the Soviet chronological de-
velopment--except that 1t
indicates the possession Of
the intercontinental ballistic
missile with a range far
greater than we suspected a

sent to the USSR. At least
10000 Of them were taken
by force or otherwise to Rus
STA where they we're given
preferential treatment and
opportunity to work In their
profession. The result has
been the creation Of a Red
submarine force-the most
powerful in the world-and
their large contributions to
the advances In nuclear de-
velopments exceeding those
Of the United States.
What worries our foreign
policymakers Is the fact that
that even the new chain of
defense extending from Spain
through Southeast Asia to
Formosa and Korea may be
weakened. Some of these
allies-particularly the Asians
ARE wondering why we, un-
til recently. insisted on hand
