was progressing on schedule
and that an American satel-
lite would be successfully
launched. he hoped. by
March. He also pointed out
that our program was aimed
to bring a successful launch
ing during the geophysical
year-this year. He admitted
that the success Of the Rus
slams in putting up their
Sputnik indicated great mis-
sile launching power-a
strong military potential. He
declined to be stampeded into
any agreement that the
United States was less strong
than Soviet Russia-or that.
as some of his critics MAIN
tanned, this country had be-
come a second-rate military
power.
Lays Out Defense Plans
When Congress met in jan
uary, the President declared
his intention to ask bigger
appropriations for national
defense, in view of the i'm
proved position militarily Of
the Russians. His first re-
quest was for a supplemental
appropriation of $1.2 billion,
particularly for our missile
and satellite programs. Then
came his budget-proposed
appropriations for defense,
amounting to 1898 billion,
with big increases for all de-
partmentS of defense. This
does not look like compla-
cency.. But the Democrats
continue to insist that the
Presidents program is made
quate. They intend to make
an issue of it-a national de-
tense issue-if they can.
Many of these same Demo-
Gratis a year ago were respon-
sible for cutting the Presi-
dents defense budget, includ-
ing foreign aid, by several
billions of dollars.
Vice President Nixon-pet
target of the Democrats
only a few hours before the
Explorer" was launched pre-
dicted that national defense
would not be an issue by next
November when the congress
sional elections take place.
He was addressing the Re-
publican National Committee.
THE answer on the issue Of
national Defense" he said,
will be given not by what is
said (by the Democrats) but
by what is done. Every time
we have a successful test of a
missile, the issue becomes less
effective. When we have a
successful launching of an
earth satellite-which will be
months before November
the issue will be even less eff
fective." 1t looks as though
Mr.. Nixon were quite a
prophet in his own way. The
Vice President also warned
the Democrats that if they
persisted in saying the United
States is behind the Soviet
Union in overall defense
and in science. when we
know the facts are otherwise.
they will be doing the ceun-
try a disseryice, and at the
l proper time it will be brought
to the attention of the pub
lic."
Mr.. Nixon, as usual, en-
ragged the Democrats.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Eases q Political Issue
By GOULD LINCOLN

Those Democrats who saw
national defense as a basic
and major issue in this years
elections and in the 1860
presidential race were startled
and shaken last Friday night
by the successful launching
of Americas first earth sat-
ellite-"The Explorer" With
the prospect OF more satel-
lites, launched by the Navy
as well as by the Army, ma
tional defense under the
Eisenhower administration is
taking on a vastly different
aspect from that which has
been pictured by Democratic
leaders in Congress and out
since the Russian Commu-
nists put up their first Sput-
mix something over three
months ago. Their estimates
of Americas position mill
tarily increased in gloom as
the weeks passed until it was
said we. were 10 years be-
hind the Russians in our
missile development and in
scientific knowledge. 1t looks
now as though the Democrats
may find it necessary to fall
back and reform their lines
Of offense in the campaign
now under way, shifting their
burden of attack to the
country'S economy after five
years of Republican admin
iStration. Should the rather
major recession" - or de-
preston - which the Demo-
Gratis are predicting fail to
materialize this year, the vot-
tiers will begin to wonder if
the Democrats know as much
as they say they do.
Boost for Republicans
If the Explorer" shook up
the Democrats politically, it
certainly gave the Repub-
licans the shot in the arm
they very much needed. And
it wasn't only the Repub-
licans who threw their hats
in the air over the Army's
great accomplishment. The
whole country got a lift-and
so did our allies abroad.
Democratic leaders on Cap
itol Hill, like Senator Lyndon
B. johnson of Texas. ma
jority leader of the Senate,
were quick to acclaim the
launching of the Explorer"
But the words of praise went
to the Army and its team of
experts and scientists who
put the satellite in outer
space. No kind words have
yet been uttered by Demo-
Gratis in praise of President
Eisenhower and his admin
istration. Indeed, the DEM
ocrats still cling to the idea.
Of making political capital
out of the so-called defense
issue. They still insist that
the President and his cabinet
officers and assistants have
been too complacent" in the
past. Their cry now is:
There's danger the admin
istration will return to It's
complacent attitude, since it
has a satellite circling the
earth" -'"ra3
Just how, complacent has
the President and his admin
iStration been? The President,
at his first press conference
after the Russians put up
their first Sputnik, stated
that our satellite program

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

What do you do about the
guy who suddenly stops
speaking to you, after a long
term of friendship. more or
less?"
So asks M. r. Of Kensing-
ton, and 1t Is a difhcult ques-
ton to answer.
There are so many human
factors involved, no one out
side the immediate affair can
make any more than a guess,
and a not very informed guess,
at that.
Life has so many facets,
and people so many faces!
We wear a new face each
day, and scarcely know our
selves when we look in the
mirror.
We turn one face to the
folks at home. and another
to the people at the office.
Even at the office, one will
wear many faces, according
to the rank Of those seen and
heard.
There is a difference, a
great big difference, between
the famous green carpet and
the ordinary asphalt tile.
y Il -
Here is a man who has no
familiar face.
He is a chameleon, in truth,
one color to one and another
tint to another.
He turns one face one way,
another in a different direc-
ton. so that nobody can get
hold Of him.
As for the guy who sud-
denly stops speaking" he
must have his own way of
looking at the world. and if
you can find out what it is,
you will be in a fair way to
finding out what makes him
tick.
Often. it is merely some
fancied Slight.
Look into your own con-
duct, then. M. r., and try to
determine what it was you
said or did to offend him.
y y X
Some people take offense
easily, just as some take UNI
bragg.
Two good words. those, of
fense' and "umbrage."
And you have to take EN-,
too. No showing them aside.
"Umbr3ge' means shade,
or shadow.
Our word umbrella" comes
from it.
The derivation is regarded
as obscure, and 1t is; perhaps
when one shows anger. or
takes offense. his face is

guy, and feel sorry for him,

gerated politeness.

Postal Rates

The Stars January 90 edi-
torial, Postal Rates." stated:
Postmaster General Sum-
merfeld's request that Con-
gress raise postal rates before
granting raises to postal
workers is a reasonable one.
To vote a pay increase with
out also taking definite &C
ton to reduce the already
formidable postal deficit
would be utterly reckless"
1t is better to be "reck-
less" with,a postal deficit than
to be reckless" with human
beings and their wives. chill
dren and other dependents.
The servant is worth all his
hire" That applies just as
strongly to a postal or Fed
eral employee as it does to
employees in private industry.
Our council is not opposing
an adjustment in postal rates.
but we do strongly believe
that salaries of postal and
Federal employees should not
be dependent on postal rates
in this great liberal Govern
ment of ours.

Your editorial, Postal
Rates, linking the proposed
postal salary raise with legis-
1ation to raise certain postal
service fees. raises some in
tereSting questions.
BY the same reasoning.
would The Star argue that
the total costs of operating
the Patent Office should be
borne by the fees for obtain
ing patents?
Would The Star argue that
the Library Of Congress
should charge a fee for its
services to cover the costs
of running that nonself-sup-
porting institution? Would
The Star argue that rents
on low-income housing de-
velopments be raised to cover
the full costs Of their con-
struction and administra-
ton? Would The Star argue
that the users of informa-
ton published by the Bureau
of the Census Including
those regular services Of
fered to businesses be re-
quired to pay a charge for
these data which would col
lectively pay for the opera
lions Of the Bureau Of. the
Census? Would The Star
support legislation that would
reduce the postal deficit"
by shifting the burden Of
such costs from the general
tax fund to the users Of
first-class mail, a mail cate
CORY that is even now pay
ing its own way? Would
The Star support legislation
which would require all per-
sons receiving a Government
service to pay for this service
in direct proportion to its
cost?
Does The Star know that
the Post Office does not and
cannot receive or spend its
own revenues?
