appears TO leave the present
confusion and lack, Of direc-
ton untouched. Perhaps the
vigorous new Secretary of
Defense--Neil McElroy--has
plans TO remedy the situation
which he has not yet re-
vealed. But time is slipping
by, and the challenge to the
free world inherent in the
spectacular Russian accom-
plishmentS Is growing more
dangerous with the passage
OF every day.
One danger. already clearly
demonstrated. is that the
main goal--the development
Of operational long-range
missiles-will be overlooked
in the effort to do some pub
lefty work. Each of the serv.
ices wants TO beat the others
in getting q satellite aloft.
That aim may be commenda-
bic, but the situation calls for
a lot more than mere head
line seeking, or satisfaction
Of the understandable yearn-
ing TO put the United States
nag into space.
There are signs that the
military services themselves
are beginning to realize that
rivalries that waste brains
and time and money are fast
getting American defenses
nowhere. To settle on q
eo-ordinated program under
responsible direction. geared
to create the best possible
missile for the particular uses
the armed forces need,
doesn't seem to be too great
a step for the Pentagon to
take. But before that is likely
TO happen. the White House
viii certainly have TO take a
firm position.
Meanwhile. perhaps civilian
science. itself. will force the
brass TO do some reorganiz-
ing. Results count. not head

increasing the conservation re-
serve fund TO $3.50 million. &C
cording TO key ofiicials.
Experts estimate this sum
would buy" about - million
acres Of land. besides covering
continuing obligations under
previous conservation reserve
contracts. They guess farmers
might retire about 4 million
acres Of wheat. 3 million OF
corn. 2 million Of cotton and
peanuts and 5 million Of other
crops. The program probably
will not attract much tobacco
or rice land.
II this expansion works well,
the administration may propose
Q vast new conservation reserve
aimed at pGlling 20 million TO
so million acres out of produc-
ton. This would cost about 81
oillion Q year, experts estimate.
Sees Better Job
Secretary Benson has CON-
mented that the conservation
reserve probably can do q better
surplus-cutttng job cheaper
than the acreage reserve. For
one thing. land deposited In
the conservation reserve is re-
tired more or less permanently.
Contracts are long-term. and
farmers plant grass or trees.
Many farmers join the acreage
reserve only when crop pros
poets are poor. then resume
production when the outlook
brightens.
Administrators Of the con-
servation reserve are exerting
special efforts to sign I'D entire
farms. They hope the program
will help put agriculture on
sound footing by encouraging
inefficient farmers TO leave the
land permanently.
A big factor in the admins
tration's decision to kin the
acreage reserve was strong evil
dence that Congress was ready
to vote the program out OF ex-
! istence anyway.

Moscow now wants the
Red regime Of East Germany
given diplomatic recognition
by other governments in Eu-
rope. Asia and America. The
Soviet Union Is demanding
that credentials be obtained
from the East German gov
eminent by all diplomats
travelling in that country.
This viii put many an APP
peaser In the Western world
on q tough spot. For. until
now. the argument has been
repeatedly made that all that
Is necessary to merit and OBJ
tain diplomatic recognition Is
for q government 10 be IN
complete military control Of
the area which Il governs.
When. for example. those
persons opposed to the recog-
milton Of Red China have
asserted that there Is q moral
as well as a legal question In
volved. the answer hereto
fore made by the appeasers
has been that morality Is not
TO be considered. but only
the simple fact Of q govern
ment's possession Of . given
territory.
It Is true that some. gov
ernments. like that OF Great
Britain. did recognize the Red
China government. but this
happened before the agrees
sion Of Red China in Korea
and before this aggression
was formally denounced by
resolution Of the United Ma
tons Assembly. Since the
Korean war, no pro-Western
country has extended diplo-
matte recognition to the
Peiping regime because moral
issues have clearly been at
stake.
The reason Moscow now
wants the Red German gov
eminent, given formal diplo-
matte recognition Is that this
is one Of the best ways Of
preventing the reunification
OF East and West Germany.
