4. Questions viii be asked
as to why the United States
didn't launch a satellite q
year ago as the experts now
say could easily have been
done. The answer is that the
highest officials of the United
States regarded it as a scien-
tiflc rather than q military
project and decided to wait
for the International Geo.
physical Year program in
1858, in which scientists of
all countries were to partici-
pate. The real reason for
putting 1t of, however, was
o fear complex on the prop
uganda side in the Govern
ment here-a belief that the
United States would be re-
garded as q "warmonger"
and as Haunting her mill
tary power. Sabre rafting
had long been condemned
here as an unwise policy, and
the belief was that such q
spectacular stunt would hurt
rather than help American
prestige as q peace-loving
Nation.
S. Political effects domes-
tically will inevitably be felt
this election year. Just as

ton was severely castigated

turned. The Republicans

Details Of the differences be-
tween the American and the
Russian "Sputnik" may be

but the public impression
today is that America has
evened up the race and can
do what the Russians have

What does the successful
launching Of the American
::'Sputnik" really mean? What
influence will it have on
world affairs in general and
on American domestic policy
In particular?
Some Of the answers to
these questions can be sum-
married about as follows:
/. Propaganda wise,
throughout the world. as re-
vealed by the short-wave
radio stations on both sides
of the Iron Curtain which
have been broadcasting news
and comments about it in the
last 70 hours, the event is an
unquestioned triumph for
America plus Of tremen-
dous proportions. America
now is held to be equal in the
race in which only q few
months ago it was believed
inferior.
2. The Soviet Unions prop
uganda Is still q bit boast
full, but on the whole, the
American achievement is well
coined by the Soviet COM
mentators for a strange rea-
son--it might hasten the day
of East-West talks at the
summit" It came to be
recognized even in Moscow
that the West couldn't talk
from q position of seemingly
inferior strength as long as
only q Russian "Sputnik"
was spinning around the
world. But now, with the
score even UP so far as tech
nique ID concerned, there is q
belief abroad that American
officials will change their
viewpoint and 60 for the
summit" talks soon on q
basis Of equality" Of posi-
ton.

isn't as important as many
people have been led to be-

sile that counts. America

Washington enjoyed a
cheerful week end for a
change. The success of the
Explorer took the pressure
of everybody - politicians,
defense contractors and
scientists.

rejoiced one contractor with
heavy space age contracts.
Not only was it up but the
Horatio Alger story in which
Americans still deeply believe
despite their supposed Sophis-
tication had been proved
again. The downtrodden
Army came up from far be-
hind to win the race from
the favorite. Yesterdays
gloomy generals now feel like
the heroes of pluck and luck;
they expect their rags to turn
into riches if the Alger ethos
continues to run true to form.
The truth is that despite
the rosy glow, Washington's
basic problems remain UNI
changed. 1t was inevitable
that the United States would
succeed in sending a satellite
aloft; it had never been any
thing but a question of giving
the enterprise priority. In
recent weeks it finally
achieved that priority the
hard way.

Last Thursday marked the
25th anniversary of Hitler's
taking over the helm Of the
German republic. We thought
his dictatorship cruel. par
ticularly after he unleashed
q bloodbath which covered
four continents. We did not
then believe that something
worse might follow Naziism.
The mistake Of certain Ger

mental in bringing the
brown-shirted m aniac to
power eventually cost the
American people the blood Of

their sons and cash and sub

mated at $500 billion.
But we and the allies who
fought Hitler thought it was
worth any kind Of sacrifices
to rid the world Of the night
mare Of dictatorship and
monolithic state. In our
tervor to destroy the Nazi
regime, we even stretched
out our hands to Stain

World War II possible

him and threatened to de-
stroy the Communist regime.

Singer SoIuted for Her Ability to Convey
Human Values by Attitude and Action

The phenomenon Of Marian
Anderson cannot be COM
pretended within her sing
ing and her consummate
artistry. Her voice Is no
longer young and the artistry
must be conveyed through q
somewhat weakened vessel.
But what she does and what
ever she sings is a shining
thing.
Miss Anderson is a medium
through whom flows the
purest faith, the purest love.
There is in her no shadow Of
resentment, no iron Of hate,
no ambition to be anything
but what she has been called
in the old-fashioned phrase
to be. a vessel to transmit
through song q message be-
yond even her own con-
scious comprehension.
She is q "colored" Ameri-
can, Of Negro, American
Indian, and white strains.
She feels strongly for the
colored peoples and all who
are pressed into any cruel
inferiority. She has been
personally insulted, barred
from concert platforms and
hotels, but she has never hit
back. Her total absence Of
aggressiveness, her superb
dignity born of complete
humility, shame and disarm
her aggressors. She is not
overcome by evil. She over
comes 1t with good. She
would sing for Gov. Faubus.
She would sing for Khru-
shchev. She is above race,
nation, economic circum-
stance, and temporary hos
tilities. She is a witness to
something greater than these.
When she sings: "He holds
the whole world in his
hands," you are quite posi-
tive that he does.
We have her recording Of:

The Saturday Review re-
Gently published an article
by Robert Lewis Shayon on
Marian Anderson's tour Of
Asia. The account was later
published as an advertise
ment in behalf of the Inter-

the TV show arising from the
tour, and which many of us
saw in our homes.
I entirely agree with Mr..

an atmosphere full Of the
poisonous static of hate and
fear we saw a woman COM

sense with all sorts and con-

tinent not overfriendly to

essential to the propaganda
aims Of Miss Anderson's

uted words or thoughts to
Miss Anderson that we do
not know she had, and do
know she did not express.
The word propaganda"
has, by now, almost unbear-
able overtones. Although the
State Department sponsored
Miss Anderson's journey. it
did not send her on a propa-
ganda mission. It could not.
For Miss Anderson is not
a salesman for America. She
is a messenger to humanity
and a testifler to the great
ness and goodness Of human
ity's creator.

the State Department were
"be yourself" But that, too,
missed the mark. Miss An

as hard to live with Is any
member Of the opposition.
They know that the actual
power over the day-to-day
operations Of the Govern
ment rests only incidentally
in the Presidents hands. It
is borne in on them by their
own contacts that the Assist
ant to the President, Sher-
man Adams, Secretary Of
State Dulles, Secretary Ben
son and the rest are operat-
>ing virtually as courts Of last
resort.
The growing withdrawal
and isolation Of the Presi-
dent means that there are
fewer and fewer possibilities
of appeal from decisions
taken by these non-elected
officials. This has removed
conference and fiexibility from
Federal policy.
Even more important, 1t
prevents any daring, newness
and innovation In a period
OF crisis both at home and
abroad. Republicans under
stand all this and what it
conveys in the way Of por-
tents for the party's future.
