so by the tremendously warm
welcome he gets everywhere
he goes and the incessant de-
mands for speeches by him.
The former President also
expects as Of now that a
m a n a ged compromise will
emerge from the convention.
He foresees no formidable
front runner and no sectional
struggle.
In mellow moments he has
been heard to speculate about
a flood Of favorite son NOM
nations and then a unani-
nous vote for the ticket that
party leaders agree has the
best chance to win. Since he
; is speaking Of Democrats,
this seems far too optimistic.
But II he is correct, then
Senator Symington's chances
should not be discounted.
Senator Symington is q
Midwest Senator with South
ern ancestors galore. While
his Senate votes reflect farm
discomfort and the liberal
cast Of the big cities - St.
Louis, Baltimore, New York
where he has lived and
achieved business success,
the infection Of his voice is
soothing to the South.
He has perhaps the best
record on military prepared
ness in the Congress, his
Cassandra type forebodings
about the Russians having
been proved all too true. The

lea economically. This would
be suicidal. But many legis-
latorS are disgruntled over
the way the executive branch
has applied its tariff power
in the past. So long as we
enjoyed what we believed to
be amending prosperity" the
various actions of the adj
ministration which threw a
few thousand Am erican
workers out Of jobs were
CLOSED over. But now when
we are beginning to feel the
pinch seriously. the members
Of both houses want to have
another hook at the recipro-
cal trade agreements and de-
termine how reciprocal they
are.
The automobile industry,
for instance, which in the
past had no competition on
the American markets. is
now faced with a food of
good smaller cars from
Europe and eventually Japan.
They are not only more eco
nomical in gasoline consum-
ton, but they cost no more
than a fair American second
hand automobile. American
users are buying the smaller
and cheaper imported autos
enthusiastically. Exports Of
cars are becoming increasing
ly difficult because Of the
high and sometimes pro-
hibitive tariffs. In some
hard-hit countries with soft
currency, the tariff is equival-
ent to the export price of the
car.
The cost of labor in all
foreign countries-even those
with a high standard of living
such as West Germany-is
considerably lower than in
America. This enables them
to produce and sell at a con-
siderably lower price. but
there can be no thought Of
lowering wages and shorten
ing hours of the American
worker. Hence. 1t is felt
that despite the cliches Of
fered by the administration
in support of its Reciprocal
Trade Act. which is tied to
national security, Congress
must have another serious
look.

ST. LOUIS, Mo.-In Sena-
tor Stuart Symington, Mis-
souri, Democrats have an at
tractive entry in the land
slide sweepstakes this fall.
His and their immediate goal
is a dazzling majority to put
beside the ones hoped for by
a large list Of Democratic
Governors and Senators.
Former President Truman
has made encouraging noises
about Symington for Presi-
dent. He assured a fund
raising dinner here last No
vember that greater things"
were in store for Missouri's
! fine Senator.
There is some reason to
believe that Mr.. Truman
may have been only trying
10 loosen some purse strings
for the Symington campaign.
For that purpose, no better
technique exists than to set
White House visions dancing
in the heads Of the fat cats.
It Is true that Mr.. Truman
intends TO name his next
choice for the presidency
much earlier in the game
than he did in 1852 and 1856.
In those years he lined up in
what he now feels was too
little and too late fashion for
two losers. the late Alben
Barley and Gov. Hartman
Of New York. He hopes next
time to play a large role in
the convention decision and

1.-The values which have
been recorded do not, in any
case, constitute a danger to
the health of mankind"
Nothing could be more
explicit and reassuring. Yet
this very point has been made
again and again, as. for in
stance, by the National Acad-
envy of Sciences In America.
But within a short time after
such announcements are
issued. there are always a
few scientists who come out
with rebuttals or with argu-
ments that the layman can.
not understand. but which
keep the scare going. Moth
ing pleases Moscow more.
It may or may not be sig
niflcant that some Of the
persons in the scientific field
here and abroad who hold
theological attitudes similar
to the Co m m unists are
among the most ardent of
the advocates Of the theory
that nuclear-weapons tests
are highly dangerous. One Of
the scientists in the fore
front of the agitation is q
man who was refused security
clearance by our Government
in certain research work. He
may have been unjustly &C
.cused. and it may, of course,
be sheer coincidence that he
is arguing so vehemently
against the determination
made by the Atomic Energy
Commission to continue test
ing.
The agitation is not con-
fined to this country. West
Germany is in the midst Of
demonstrations fomented by
Communist sympathizers who
want no atomic weapons sup
piled to NATO forces there.

noting that DR.. Willard F.

e.S~ 'Sees"e
Ever since Sputnik I, the
American people have been
taking a new look at their
system Of education. fearing
that We are falling behind
the Russians in scientific
achievement.
Why didn't we put up q
satellite first? That we failed
to do so was not q failure in
our science or engineering. 4
It was due to Government
policy which seemed a good
idea at the time. but which
hindsight proves to have
been Q serious mistake.
We could have had q sat
elite in the air months be-
fore Sputnik ] was launched.
That we could have done this
was proved when the Army's
Jupiter c launched q satel-
lite into orbit on its first try,
with apparatus which had
been engineered months be-
fore. We were all ready to 60.
but the command was to
stop, not go. We were not
adept at propaganda and did
not realize the tremendous
prestige which would accrue
to the nation which got there
first.
So far as Soviet education
is concerned, the lesson we
have learned is that Russia
is now the peer Of the free
Western World in science
and engineering. It is no
longer a backward nation.
1t is one Of the worlds
leaders.
Everyone now recognizes
this and reacts to the situa-
ton in one way or another
Predominantly the reaction
has been that we must double
or triple the number of our
scientists and engineers.
Now. the deficiency in
numbers is largely a delusion.
In the past everyone with q
technical degree was sure Of
employment. That period has
passed. The pipeline Of tech
nical opportunities is full. 4
Yet the light which Sput-
mix ! cast on our educational
system revealed dangerous
practices and tendencies. 1t
revealed that for too great
a percentage Of our young
people education has gone
soft" They are being trained
in social graces and social
adjustment" They are being
prepared for q pleasant exist
ence in an anthill paradise.
They are not made aware
that the heavy boot Of Com.
munist imperialism is poised
to crush and scatter this par
adise Of an anthill.
What our boys and girls
must be prepared for is not
a paradise of any sort. What
they are facing is the hard
world of a cold war indefin-
itely prolonged. Of q hot war
that may break out at any
time. and of a stalemate of
atomic terror which hangs
over their lives. To meet
this future. our boys and
girls must be prepared to
discipline themselves and to
develop and offer to their
country and to the free world

A survey of congressional
sentiment following the rally
in Washington Of the biggest
headliners in the country to
support the Reciprocal Tariff
Act indicates that the APP
peals of President EiSen-
hover. Adlai Stevenson and
other political big-wigs have
made no impression on the
legislators.
Congress members are get
ting tired of such cliches as
the Chief Executive used to
warn that unless the foreign
aid program is continued on
the old pattern and the
Reciprocal Tariff Act is .ex-
tended for another i've years
"the road to peace so vital
to national security" will
be jeopardized. Both these
measures are now UP for
approval by the Senate and
House.
Actually, less than q hand
full Of irreconcilables are OPP
pred to a foreign economic
and military aid program.
The White House and State
Department want to continue
aid in the old FORM. while
the legislators want to ex-
tend the taxpayers assist
ance on a selective basis. The
legislators say plainly that
the security Of the Nation
cannot be improved BY doing
out hundreds Of millions to
governments such as those
Of India, Indonesia, Yugo-
slavia, Burma and Poland.
The records Of these gov
ernments show clearly that
they are definitely on the
side Of international COM
munism and have proven
this in every instance when
the free nations and Moscow
were at loggerheads.
There has never been any
thought in Congress Of re-
ducing military and economic
assistance to allies who have
proven loyal to American and
free-world detectives. There
have been occasions In re-
cent years when economic
support to loyal allies has

been curtailed. However, this
was not done by Congress. 1t
was the result Of the system
of spending aid appropriated
by Congress regionally. Thus.
when assistance was reduced
by, say. half q billion dollars,
the executive branch made
cuts across the board and
the countries faithful to
freedom suffered even more
than the Kremlin's and Pei
pings supporters. 1t is this
situation which Congress
wishes to remedy.
There seems to be no doubt
that the present request Of
the administration for close
to 81 billion military and
economic assistance will be
cut down. But the advocates
of economy in Congress in
sist that the nations loyal
to our side will not suffer.
The reductions must be made
in the sums provided to those
who should not receive Amer
lean assistance. Thus was
born the idea Of "selective
foreign aid" Such a policy
would strengthen consider
ably our posture in the realm
of military power as well as
prestige.
Legislators who in the last
several years have visited
countries on both sides Of the
Iron Curtain are convinced
(although some Of them do
not admit it publicly that
our indiscriminate support of
all who ask for our dollars
has undermined our prestige.
Thus the quip developed in
Europe that "if you want
American assistance you
must adopt a pro- Communist
attitude"
Faced with the possibility
that 6 million American
workers may be unemployed
before the present recession
hits the bottom. many Sena-
tors and Representatives
doubt the wisdom Of EXTEND
ing the Reciprocal Tariff Act

The biggest hoax Of our
times is the Soviet-inspired
drive to stop the testing Of
nuclear weapons,
Many well-meaning, loyal
citizens have been misled by
the propaganda. and many
people throughout the world
have been scared about the
supposed ill-effects of fall
out" from the tests.
Authoritative evidence has
been produced again and
again by reputable scientists
that "fallout" from nuclear-
weapons tests has not added
any real danger. But some
how this evidence is constant
ly ignored. and the Soviet
propaganda campaign moves
on because the truth is not
conspicuously displayed.
Over the week end came a
joint statement from 100
scientists gathered at Lau-
same, Switzerland. where.
under the auspices Of the
Swiss Academy Of Medicine.
q three-day symposium was
held Ito determine all the
long-range consequences Of
radioactivity." There were
representatives present from
the United States. France,
Italy. West Germany. The
Netherlands, Belgium, Nor
way and Switzerland. An
invitation to attend was de-
clined by Soviet scientists.
This is what the imposing
group of scientists assembled
IN Switzerland had to say in
their formal communicate:
Thanks mainly to the ex-
tensive and painstaking re-
search conducted in the
Anglo-Saxon countries, it APP
pears well established that
the increase in atmospheric
radioactivity and in radio
active fallout does not play
any essential part and does
not have any practical i'm
portance- when compared to
natural radiation.
