statement BY an eminent educator, who
declared: Our university graduates have

There can be little doubt of the fact that
the process Of specialization in intellectual

OF subjects and that specific individuals,

more information than was available to

we are rather inclined to agree with the

News Report From

| Washington. Nov. l3-The launch
| ing Of Sputnik II BY the Soviet
Union is clear indication-if any
more is needed-that the United
States is falling dangerously behind
| the Russians in number Of fields
not Just one.
| In Washington there are those
who feel that the long enjoyed q. S.
technical and industrial superiority
| is at an end. OF course. this result
cannot come overnight in all fields.
but it is pointed out that the
Russians have more scientists than
We, have a larger missiles and
rocket program than We do, and
are pushing harder and further adj
vanced than we.
Future Of u. s.
| II Is now case OF catching up
not maintaining a lead. The tone of
some U. s. officials. when Sputnik
was launched. was that the United
States could have launched a satei-
| lite if We had been engaged in a
crash program In this specific field.
! Moreover. it was said that we
would launch larger satellite when
We launched one. But the launching
OF Sputnik H--six times heavier and
twice as far into space-takes the
icing off these reassut-ing remarks.
The Russians have rocket engine
Of astonishing power in the words
Of one Of Britain's leading rocket
scientists.

pound missile more than a thousand
miles out into space, with various
equipment on H. and in apparent
control Of their effort. was an amaz-
ing feat. There is no getting around
that fact The United States has
nothing in this field which can equal
the Soviet achievement.
The USSR Era
What is more. the Russians no
doubt have other modern weapons
and are probably more advanced in
the design and production Of them
than We have assumed. The United
States has always underestimated
its enemy. and oyerestinlatcd its
own weapons.
The history Of World War ! and
World War II shows that We fought
both wars with weapons which were

weapons. But We were told. especi-

had the best weapons in the world
