in June. 1856, that the Rus
slams statement implies that
Soviet progress in rocket pro-
pulSion had made feasible
such feats as launching an
earth satellite and flying to
the moon"
DR.. NeSmeyanov also was
quoted in an article appear
ing in Pravda last June in
which he said that large
collectives of scientists and
engineers have been working
persistently for many years"
on overcoming the technical
difficulties involved in earth
satellites and cosmic flight.
A scientist quoted in the
Rand study. NJ. K. Tikhon-
ravov. wrote on October 2.
1851. that engineers already
nao calculated that one would
need a 1.000-ton rocket for
a fight to the moon.
"On such a ship. having a
velocity Of 10000 kilometers
an hour. two men could be
dispatched. They could reach
the moon, circle around it
without landing. and return
to the Earth. And II an arti-
fetal earth satellite is Great
ed. it will then be possible TO
send a much smaller space
ship. weighing not more than
100 tons, from the satellite
(space station to the moon"
Ten days after this article
appeared. a German news
agency quoted the Soviet

business. Many are small
businessmen and tradesmen.
They are dipping heavily
into savings to keep going,
feel increasingly there is no
future for them in the coun-
try and are trying to emf
crate.
Presumably, therefore,
Egypt will soon be left with
out the technicians and mer-
chants necessary to keeping
the wheels Of industry and
commerce turning. Egyptian
izGtion was to have taken
f1ve years. But it is proceed
ing faster than the Egyp-
tians' ability to replenish the
supply of skills lost through
repatriation.

million horsepower and

And Then Whot?
While no astronaut. Amer
lean or Russian. doubts for
a moment man will one day
reach the moon. what comes
after such an achievement?
According TO the experts,
there will be flights to other
planets. like Mars and We
nus. Then there will be
interstellar flight-viSits to
stars many thousands Of light
years away.
The tremendous distances
make these latter detectives
seem as fantastic as a trip
10 the moon once did. But
man Is still scratching the
surface Of the possibilities Of
atomic energy and atomic
powered rockets may be the
answer to shrinking time and
space sufficiently.
Also. more attention is now
being given to photon pro-
pulsion-the Harvesting Of
the force of a beam Of light
emitted through the after
end Of a rocket which would
propel the vehicle Just under
the speed Of light, which is

Cose Book on Russio
The Rand Corporation in
1856 and 1857 published a
research memorandum for
the Air Force called "A Case
book on Soviet Astronautics,"
Part I and II. In it, the
author, F. j. Krieger, out
lined the Russians great in
terest in space conquest as
demonstrated in articles in
technical journals and in
speeches by leading Soviet
scientists.
Mr.. Krieger concluded that
Soviet interest in astro-
nauticS is not merely aca-
demic or superficial, but is
as serious and purposeful as
interest can be in q subject
that is sponsored to the hilt
by q ruthless totalitarian re-
gime."
He attached particular sig
niflcance to a November.
1858, statement by Alexander
NJ. Nesmeyanov. the presi-
dent of the USSR Academy
Of Science that science has
reached a state when it Is
feasible to send a strato-
plane TO the moon"
Observing that DR.. Mes
meyanov is familiar with all
aspects Of Soviet scientific
progress. Mr.. Krieger wrote

SkilIs Are Lost
The impact on the economy
represented by the loss Of
Italian skills alone is in
calculable. Italian masons,
carpenters. mechanics, cleo
tricianS and instructors are
repatriating as rapidly as
they can get their papers in
order. There were probably
10000 Italians in Alexandria
and Cairo up to 1855. The
communities now officially
number less than 10000.

DESPITE sHAKY ECONOMY

tional prerequisites for de-
veloping q corps of skilled
workers fast enough to pre-
vent serious complications
appear to be lacking.
The main prop Of the
Egyptian economy is, Of
course, the Soviet Union. The
Russians have supplied
wheat and oil whenever
stocks thereof dropped to
critical levels and they con-
tinue to buy Egyptian cotton
at 80 per cent above world
prices.
Moscow Benefits Most
Indications are, however,
that the Soviet Egyptian
economic entente is working
out more to Moscow's ad-
vantage than Cairo's. Cotton
represents 80 per cent Of
Egypt's exports and the So
Wet bloc is buying more than
half Of it. But Russia and its
satellites are dumping it in
European markets in ex-
change for hard currency.
There is no doubt" one
foreign cotton expert told
me, that a lot of the cotton
which is finding its way into
Western Germany, for in
stance, is not coming directly
from Egypt. The Russians
are running Egypt's normal
cotton markets.

Racial equality does not
mean equal pay for all. but
1t means equal pay for equal
work. II does not mean gov
eminent by voodoo, but it
means the sharing Of lead
ership in politics among in
telligent men regardless Of
fermentation. And once these
goals are conceived. impa-
thence accelerates.
Question Of AcceIerotion
Today's question is whether
achievement in racial adjust
ment is accelerating enough
to keep pace. Given a new
atmosphere Of impatience, a
diminished amount of pref
udice and discrimination can
still do grievouS harm to the
human fabric. The struggle
to keep progress abreast OF
growing aspirations is a race
against time. in which failure
to accelerate could have dis
astrous results.
Certain things admittedly
have to be accepted even by
the most eager reformers.
Old top dogs cannot always
be taught new tricks; elderly
people. whose religious as
well as racial attitudes reflect
concepts imbibed in child
hood, will not be converted
by a headlong onslaught Of
argument.
And 1t is not only in deal
ing with oldsters that argu-
ment, particularly at long
range, is an instrument Of
limited value to the reformer.
There is no substitute, in a
campaign Of this sort, for the
force Of example. And, since
race is such a uniquely per-
sonal problem, what matters
above all is personal example
n personal relations.

CAIRO.-The Egypt Of
Canal Abdel Nasser is prob
ably as close to bankruptcy
as any nation can come. But
the logical political conse-
quence Of grave economic
difficulties-collaps Of the
regime-does not appear i'm
minent.
On the contrary. Were q
truly free election held today,
according TO knowledgeable
observers. Nasser would be
safely returned to power. He
might not get a 98 per cent
mandate" such as he re-
ceived in the recent we'll
supervised national balloting.
but he would most certainly
obtain from IS to rs per cent
Of the voters approval.
Whether Nasser can retain
power indefinitely without
solving the country's basic
economic problems or miti-
eating the hardships they are
causing. is another matter.
The per capita income for all
categories is only SIP, that
of the farmer, who consti-
tuteS so per cent Of the popu-
lation, is a starvation-level
$64.
Nasser's problems are stag
geringly real. Unemployment,
particularly in the big cities
like Cairo and Alexandria, is
visibly rising. Shortages of
materials. lack of spare parts
and the disruption of man
agement caused by the Egyp-
tianization laws have resulted
in slowdowns in industry and
have substantially retarded
the building boom.
Tourists Stoy Awoy
The once lucrative tourist
traffic, after cotton the coun-
try's most important source
OF foreign exchange. has
fallen to zero. Virtually the
only tourists visible in the
first-class hotels are the visit
ing politicians and potentates
Of the Arab world and men,
bers Of Asian. African and
Eastern European CONNER
cial missions.
Capital is fleeing the coun-
try in spite Of controls and
what remains is going into
speculative building rather
than productive enterprises.
The cost of living has risen
eight points in the last IL
months and imitation, while
not runaway" as in, say
Turkey. is assuming alarm
ing proportions. The govern
ment's debt to the Bank OF
Egypt, for instance, has risen
from s42 million TO 1852
million in only two years and
the regime has taken to pay
ing for current OUTLAWS in 90
day treasury bills. Plainly,
the printing presses have
started turning.
The exodus Of 10000 Jews
and the departure of at least
10000 others, mostly Italians
and Greeks. have cut heavily
into business activity. In
Cairo and Alexandria the
restaurant business crossed
about $50 million annually
