to see any group of educators

U 8. Senator from WASHINGTON
Soviet advances in the field
Of hydroelectric power are
not nearly SO spectacular as
their Sputniks. But, in the
long run, the hydro advances
may be equally as important.
This is because it is the
avowed goal Of the Kremlin
to overtake the United
States industrially within is
years.
The Kremlin cannot
achieve that goal without
broadening its economic base.
Electric power Is one Of the
keystones Of industrial ex-
pansion. The Soviets know
this-and they are acting &C.
cordingly.
While our own Federal

has been braked to almost
a dead halt during I'VE years

of increase is greater than

Khrushchev Seen Pooling Some People
While Setting Trap for Unwoy World

Premier Khrushchev, the
undisputed dictator Of the
USSR and her satellite coun-
tries, is attempting. with
more than a fair degree Of
success, to show the con-
fused world that he is q
man of peace while the
Americans are "warmongers."
But he offers no indications
Of his love for peace except
In words.
President Eisenhower aptly
described the Soviet tenn
porary suspension Of nuclear
tests as a gimmick. He Is
not prone to discard lightly
any gestures toward relaxa-
ton of tensions. But the
latest one showed such gross
lack of good faith (since no
mention was made for edec-
tive controls) that he could
not do otherwise.
Responsible policy makers
In Washington say there are
many tangible ways for the
Red dictator to show that his
intentions are genuine and
not a trap for the unwary
world. For instance. last
Wednesday the allies who par
ticipated in the Korean war
answered the Korean Com
munists' note of last month
suggesting conversations on
Korean unity. The allies
urged that free elections.

1t is recalled that q deci-

Yise elections In North and
South Korea failed 10
months before the agrees
sion against the ROK by the
Communists In the North.
The Seoul government freely
admitted the U. N. delega-
tons, but they were unable
to cross the 38th Parallel to
see what was going on in the
Communist controlled por-
ton Of Korea. They were
met with bayonets and re-
fused admittance.

leging that science. mathe-
mates and foreign languages
are neglected studies In
United States schools.
Whether the article on
such a controversial subject
is palatable to the high
school officials is not the real
issue. What is important as
a basic principle is that
school principals undertake
to act virtually as censors on
q subject in which they,
themselves. may be consid-
cred. to have a vested interest.
Even If a particular article
is wrong. certainly the pub
fishers are willing to print
the other side. To threaten.
however. to use the power
over public funds as a punt
tive instrument to make any
publisher conform to the
viewpoint of any branch Of
the Government is inimical
to the whole spirit Of con.
stitutional practice in the
United States. For it has been
held that no governmental
unit may use any Of its pow
ers to abridge the freedom Of
the press. The Supreme
Court Of the United States
denounced a Louisiana stat
ute for that reason. and any
ruling made by any subdi-
vision Of Government would
unquestionably also encoun-
ter court resistance.
It is not a problem Of
what publications the indi-
vidual principals may choose
to read themselves as private
citizens, but 1t is q problem

DORIS FLEEsON

Suddenly Texas has come
up with q portent Of trouble
In store for the Democrats.
The conservative and
wealthy William Blakley Of
Dallas announced this week
that he would run for the
Democratic nomination for
the United States Senate. At
stake is the seat he held
briefly by appointment in
1857 from the then Gov.
Allan Shivers.
In a special election last
April, Texas loyalists at long
last succeeded in electing
their favorite. Ralph Var
borough, to that seat. They
had tried three times and
failed to make Mr.. Var
borough Governor.
Mr.. Blakley had been as
surfing his own friends that
he would positively not take
on Mr.. Marlborough. A report
promptly became current that
he had learned Mr.. Var
borough was switching to his
old love, the race for Gov
ernor.
Those who credit the report
declare Mr.. Blakley could not
beat Mr.. Marlborough for the
Senate but would be q pow
erful contender against any
other candidate the loyalists
could put into the Democratic
primary.
Mr.. Blakley came here as
an Eisenhower Democrat but

Comrade Khrushchev who
now controls as completely
the policies Of the Soviet
Union as Stain did can make
other gestures to show his
good intentions. Only lin
tied publicity has been given
to the packs Of Russian sub
marines which roam in our
waters in the Pacific and
Atlantic. Their presence Is
giving serious concern to
those responsible for our ma
tional defense. These packs,
believed to have missile
carrying units, have been de-
tected in the Atlantic. and

shores for comfort. There
have been a number Of con-

Why these moves on the
part Of the Red submarines?
What is the purpose? Some
explain them as an intimida-
ton move by the men in the
Kremlin who believe that in
recent years Americans have
become timid and scare
easily. Sending such vessels
with suspected nuclear capa-
