Supposition of U. S. Getting There First
Seen Premature by Won Broun's Estimate

naturalization of the moon"
They foresee military bases
on the moon In the not dis

troll Of outer space for peace
full purposes the United
States must get there first.
The moon, 1t seems, Is the
absolutely ideal base. A mis-
sile launched earthward
could be observed and guided
from start to impact, where
as the reverse is not true. 1t
would be difficult, for at
mospheric and other natural
reasons, to pinpoint and
shoot up a base on the moon.
But from 1t anything or ev-
erything on earth could be
destroyed.
OF course. the strategists
would prefer that there
should be no bases on the
moon. But still they must
reckon that there may be. so
I'VE" must get there first.
But. If DR.. Won Braun and
others are correct about the
present status Of Develop

Of getting there first. And
what these American STRAIT

to the reproduction Of human
life. We call an insane per-
son a ''lunatic," literally
"moonstruck." Whether rays
emanating from the moon
do influence arrangements Of
brains peculiarly sensitive to
them I don't know; it is GER
tainly conceivable.
The. vista now opening for
the exploration of the uni
verse should evoke, one would
think, pious awe. In the
course Of it, during the long,
long age ahead - assuming
there will be one - we may
learn much about the nature
of being and discover forms
Of sentient life. conceivably
greatly superior to our own.
Certainly the more we know
about the universe, its order
and its laws, the greater
perspective we will have on
this tiny planet and its in
habitants.
That the moon even sug-
gests a war base to any mind
suggests lunacy-which from
time to time in history has
been epidemic over whole
peoples.
Wouldn't 1t be delightful If
those manning a missile base
on the moon, conscious Of
holding power over the whole
earth, all became lunatics?

campaign is expected to be
one Of the results Of the lat
est epistle of Premier Bull
ganin to President Eisen-
hover.
The Soviet premier, who
fronts for Communist Party
Boss Khrushchev, rejected
the premise of the American
Government that a foreign
ministers meeting is essen
tial before a summit meet
ing in these words: "Consid-
ering the biased position of
certain possible participants
Tin the foreign minister
meeting). we cannot be con-
fident that talks on this level
would not create additional
obstacles Ito a summit meet
ing) and would not nip this
important measure at the
very bud"
Premier Bulganin was kind
enough not to demand in so
many words that the Ameri-
can Secretary of State be
fired. But he limited very
strongly that he won't allow
Foreign Minister Gromyko to
participate in a preliminary
conference.
Most political observers be-
lieve the Bulganin note will
be a signal for resumption of
a campaign against Mr..
Dulles. Such a drive was be-
gun last october by a num-
Der Of liberal" editorial writ
ers and some personalities
interested in an early get
together with the men in the
Kremlin. At that time the
Secretary of State was ac-
cused of warmongering be-
cause he warned the USSR
that its territory would not
be a privileged sanctuary
from Americas air power if
the Reds attacked Turkey.

Soviet CoIonioIisn in Mideost

Western elements there could
assert themselves in oppose
ton to NasSer. Moscow today
controls all the radio stations
at Cairo and has a large
number Of technicians of all
kinds inside both Egypt and
Syria. The annexation of
Syria by Egypt undoubtedly
will make it harder for the
West to help the Syrian
people to regain their inde-
pendence. Certainly as long
as Nasser is in command at
Cairo, Syria will remain an
Egyptian colony.
There are no sound rea-
sons for uniting Egypt and
Syria. The Egyptians are not
regarded as true Arabs, and
there Is no common border
between the two countries.
The real reason for the
move is that the Soviet
Union needed two pawns in
the Middle East under a sim
gle stooge to play her game.
The strategic moves of the
Soviets in the "cold war" al
ways have a military pur-
pose. This time it is to gain
possession Of the very fuel
on which the economy of
Western nations depends.
While the West reads a
series Of hypocritical letters
from Bulganin on disarma-
ment, and while prominent
Democrats in the United
States take such missives
seriously and make speeches
calling, in effect, for peace at
any price with the Soviet
Union, the Communist die
tators benefit from Western
disunity and naivete.
Eventually the true signif-
icance Of the Egyptian sell
zure of Syria will become
clear. 1t is a move that
makes war more likely in the
troubled areas of the Mid
die East. 1t may prove to be
the tinderbox for starting
the flames of a world war,
just as Hitler's tactics did
in the 1930s.

over the latest of a long
series of efforts to fire Har-

stories planted with a small

with Mr.. Stassen's ideas. In
addition, so it was said, Mr..
Stassen was too controver-
sial."
The idea that Mr.. Stassen's
controversiality is in the same
league with that of Mr..
Dulles is what makes the
Democrats laugh.
Mr.. StaSSen may go, and
it may be soon. He must file
his papers by mid-March If
he intends to run for Gov
ernor in the Republican
primary in Pennsylvania. But
until then. if he runs true to
form, it will take more than
a newspaper story to fire
him. In the Stassen book, If

Syria Seen Losing independence

Of Syria are deprived Of their

the elements that do not

Possibility of Talks With Soviet Union
Seen Raising Problem for Democrats

The former Secretary Of

criticism for his furious dis
avowal of the policies set

some of them in the Senate,
who felt that Mr.. KEENAN,
had at least broken the ice
by bringing forward new
ideas as to how to end the
East West log jam. Too, in
comparing Mr.. Acheson's
statements today, they pro-
fess to see the same frozen
positions for which they
have criticized Secretary
Dulles.
They. blame Mr.. Acheson,
too, for the fact that former
President Truman, still a
powerful force in their party,
holds fast to his Russia
can't-be-trusted line which,
they say. carried to its logical
conclusion would forever pre-
vent negotiations with the
Soviet Union. They are sour
also over the draft Of a for
eign policy statement pre-
pared for last weeks meeting
of the Democratic Advisory
Committee. The draft, pre-

head of the State Depart

Colonialism - in q more

emerged in the Middle East.
Soviet imperialism is in the

without a vote Of the
people and with the aid of
Communist infiltrators who
will see that the forthcom-
ing "plebiscites" are prop
erly rugged to "ratify" the die
tator,s decision, Syria short
ly will lose her independence
altogether.
The term union" Of Egypt
and Syria is an attempt to
fool the world into believing
that the two countries vol
unfairly created a single
state. Actually, Nasser, aided
by the Communist apparatus,
engineered the deal, which
in itself has no military i'm
portance but, as a source Of
potential friction, can never
theless be the forerunner Of
q world war.
The idea that a limited

Middle East without involv-
ing Communist volunteers"

the chances are that, if the
Middle East brings on a war,
1t will draw in all the major
powers of the East and West.
Just as Hitler's move into
the Rhineland in 1886 and
his later union" Of Austria
with Germany did not i'm
mediately awaken the free
world to the dangers ahead,
so today's events in Egypt

insisted that we should be
more yielding toward the
Kremlin on disarmament.
But there was only a lull
in the battle against Mr..
Dulles which is being waged
by those who find him too
"infiexible." The word "flex-
ible" has become a popular
expression with those who
want to appease international
communism but find the
word "appeasement" has a
nasty odor to the American
people.
Secretary Dulles is re-
garded as 'inflexible" because
he has been able to convince
President Eisenhower that a

are the roots Of the present

The signs and portents in
the Washington sky now
point to a summit meeting
probably in August.
Most Democrats would like
q new summit meeting which
would seek to break the
present stalemate in Soviet
American relations. But that
late summer date gives them
pause. They remember all
too we'll that the rosy glow
which followed the last sum-
init meeting at Geneva lasted
a scant three months. They
figure that if any period OF
good feeling following the
next meeting at the summit
lasts an equal length Of time,
1t will Just about encompass
the November elections. Thus
they feel they will be robbed
Of one of the two major is
sues now shaping up for the
election, the other being the
recession.
Yet they will have to take
It if it comes. But the pros
pect of a summit meeting
staged in part for the bene-
fit of the United States cleo
torate will be in the back Of
the minds of Democratic
members of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee
when it begins its promised
intensive survey Of foreign
policy.
Not all Democrats are Of
one mind on how to deal
with the Russians. 1t is a
common thing now to hear
sharp criticism Of Dean
Acheson from high-ranking
Democrats, including many
of the party'S intellectualS.

prepared parley, Mr.. tDulles
firmly believes, might be
disastrous for the interests Of
the free world and would
certainly not help relax the
present tension. This attitude
is described by our would-be
appeasers as "inflexible." And
they are shopping around for
a flexible" Secretary of
State. They intend to prove
to President Eisenhower that
Mr.. Dulles is a milestone
around the neck Of the Ma
ton. Senator Wayne Morse

making q l0-minute speech
denouncing Mr.. Dulles with

vincing facts why he is
doing so. Other Senators are
expected to join in the chorus
soon.

cohorts with the necessary
ammunition. The Soviet pre-
mier has made, in their
opinion. an important con-
cession to America. He agreed
that the summit meeting be
held sometime late this year
instead Of early this summer.

such an important" conces-
sion. they feel it would be
right for us to counter it by

one who is flexible.

An aura Of unreality. like
q nightmarish dream, clouds
much of what we read and
hear today, as illustrated by
three reports that recently
appeared almost simultane-
ously.
Wernher Won Braun, tech
meal director Of the Army's
Ballistic Missile Agency, after
the launching Of Explorer"
said he saw no reason to
revise his estimate that 1t
would take the United States
five years to overtake Russia
in the missile and satellite
field. Sputnik II, he recalled,
had a "payload" Of 1,l20
pounds, and what we have
in orbit now is only a rival
in spirit Of Sputnik."
The energy expended to
put the second Sputnik into
orbit presupposes Soviet ca
pacity to launch intercon-
tinental robot-guided Their
monuclear missiles against
any target In the United
States, against which there
is, as of now, no defense
whatever. Army chiefs have
told Congress that the Rus
slams will have this missile
by next July. So for the next
few years we shall be at the
mercy Of the Soviets except
for retaliatory power with
less effective means which
cannot be operated from
American bases and would
require the consent of other
governments. any Of which
might change and initiate a
new policy in the interval.
Under these conditions 1t
would seem prudent to re-
strain wild tongues. But last
week Brigadier General Ho-
mer Boushey. Deputy Direc-
tor of Research and Devel-
opment, United States Air
Force, in a Washington
