by Secretary Dulles. If the
urgent need Of catching up
and keeping UP with Russia
has not come home to our
people by recent events there
is no choice but to flx the
time as now and to produce
the climate by every means
possible. That is what Presi-
dent Eisenhower intends to
help to do. He is making
the opportunity in a speech
in the near future devoted
to what might be called
scientific preparedness" in
which he will stress the
necessity Of closer co-opera-
ton with our allies through
pooling of talents to avoid
duplication and unnecessary
expense and division Of the
defense task.
BY q frank discussion. he
hopes to bring understand
ing among our people that
will, in turn, bring public
pressure upon Congress.
It is doubtful if the Presi-
dent has faced a more diff
ficult task or one So i'm
portant to the security OF
our Nation and the free
world in his administration.
His problem is magnif1ed by
certain circumstances.
Among these is the obvious
growth of a spirit of apathy
toward continued co-opera-
ton with our Western Euro
pean allies and all that en-
tails. That was manifest in
the last session of Congress
in the fight on foreign mill
tary and economic aid, which
had recruits from both par
ties.
This is interrelated with
another circumstance. That
is the congressional election
next year. That offers the
temptation to members Of
Congress to acquiesce in the
rise of this new sort of iso-
lationism, or even to ex-
plot it. for political advan-
tage, instead Of trying to
change it. which is much
harder.
The leadership Of the Pres
ident is. indeed, facing its
most severe test.

Democrats watching these

For years it has alternately

he must have q combination
of information and Judgment
leading him to make his

The information, in part at

had taken which shows that
he could defeat either Sen
ator William F. Knowland or
Gov. Goodwin j. Knight. who
are in a struggle for the Re-

Mr.. Brown naturally hopes
that the Northumberland

Another Statue Believed
In Grotto Of Loocoon

ROME, Nov. / (R.-An
Italian archaeologist believes
there is a double jackpot in the
little grotto where q shattered
statue, believed that Of Lao
coon. was found. He says the
bits and pieces Of Greek sculp-
ture are from two marble
statues-not one.
Rone's superintendent of an
tique art, Giulio Iacopi, also
says he is convinced the two
statues are originals.
That could mean the Lao
coon group now in the Vati-
can Museum may be q copy.
This group, long hailed as one
of the worlds finest examples
of Greek sculpture, was found
in Rome in 1906. Experts never
have been sure whether it Is
an original or a copy.
Broken pieces of the statue
that Mr.. Iacopi believes is the
original LAGOON were found in
September in a grotto Of min
eral baths at q villa Of the
Emperor Tiberius. The grotto
is near Sperlonga on the coast
between Naples and Rome.
Amazing, sensational" said
Mr.. Iacopi at that time. He
still is just as excited about the
discovery.
Last week we found an In.
scription which unfortunately
was not complete" he said.
But it was sufficiently clear to
allow us to state that there are
two groups Of statues in the
grotto."
The inscription, Mr.. Iacopi
said, makes it certain one
statue shows the NEUROLOGICAL
monster, Scylla.
The inscrlpGlon refers to the
Latin poet Virgil and reads:
IF the poet Virgil would ever
come back to this world he
would praise the sculptors and
admit that no poem could have
described better the cruelty Of
Scylla and the broken. -"
At that point the inscription
