A Year Of Sputnik Where Do We Stand Now?

spokesman said the Defense De-
partment had no plans to spend
$50 million in extra funds for the
solid-fueled, long range Air Force
missile, the Minuteman. He said
no decision had been made to
spend $51 million for jet tankers.
After two crises in which men
and Lateral had to be airlifted-
to Lebanon and to the Caribbean
after the attacks on Vice President
Nixon in Venezuela-as precau-
tionary measures. Congress voted
$140 million for more troop car

by Mr.. McElroy who said airlift
was adequate.
The adequacy is a matter of
serious dispute in the Army which

non-combat conditions.
Russian Submarines
Once again the question comes
back one year after Sputnik:
Where stands the United States?
Soviet Russia has an estimated
500 submarines, the United States
about 100.
The United States has roughly
100000 men in its ground forces.
Soviet Russia has an army Of
2.500,000; Red China an army Of
100000.
The United States is in pro-
duction on two 1,500-mile range
missiles, the Air Forces Thor and
the Army's Jupiter.
The United States has yet to

since Sputnik I. If there is a
grim determination to overtake
the Russians, regardless Of cost, in
the missile and satellite field, or
in producing scientists and en-
gineers for the future, the record
doesn't show it.
The Presidents View
Five days after Sputnik / Presi-
dent Eisenhower was asked at a
news conference If this Nation

steps.

In addition, Congress appropri-
ated money to begin work on
nine missile Launching submarines
and to maintain the Army at
100000 men and the Marine Corps
at 100000.
On August % President Eisen-
hover signed the $39.5 billion de-
fense appropriations bill. but
criticized it as wasteful of money
and resources. He said Congress
gave the Defense Department
about billion dollars more than
it needed.

Congressman that all the money

The Missile Submarines
On September 9 the Pentagon
announced that only five Of the

But the 1850 cease-flre commit
tee got nowhere. Unless it we're
to be made up Of Asians such as
Burma and Indonesia, Chou En-
lai probably would give it short
shrift. And if it were primarily
Asian in composition. the United
States might be very unhappy
with its recommendations.
At this point, with every avenue
apparently dead end street, the
contents of Mr.. Hammarskjold's
forthcoming Middle East report
became known privately.
There was to be U. N. pres
ence" in Syria, Lebanon, and Jor-
dan. In Lebanon, it was to be but
treSSed by much-enlarged and
strengthened U. N. observer team:
In Jordan and Syria, it would be
skeletal, without even a head
quarters, so that no one could say
of the proud Arabs that they were
being put under U. N. tutelage.
But it would be there. and it
could publicize any instances Of
fratricide or attempted fratricide
among the Arab brethren.
After a decent interval devoted
to studying" the report, perhaps
"a to 48 hours, Britain and the
United States would announce
plan of troop withdrawal.
1t would be conditional on
minimum stability in both Leba-
non and Jordan, and thus could
still be upset by events: But bar

mentS, both Washington and Lon
don, eager to withdraw. would use
the Hammarskjold report as a
face-saving way of so doing.
The contrast between the dark
picture in the Far East and the
tightening gray in the Middle East
was only too striking. Beside
Quemoy and Matsu. Lebanon and
Jordan looked millenial.
The conclusion was obvious.
Like it or not, Mr.. Hammarskjold
soon would find himself in line
for a new assignment.
The Swedish mountain climber
soon would be scaling the slopes
of the Chinese volcano.
Certainly, in all his remarkably
successful experience as peace
maker and compromise architect,
the Secretary General has never
had so difficult and so potentially
thankless an assignment. If he
accepts it, he will certainly de-
mand as a condition for his serv-
ices the assurance from Mr.. Dulles
that he will be spared at least
the worst Of the China lobby's
wrath.
It is believed here that Commu-
mist China would welcome a Ham,

SIGNIFICANCE OF TRANSFER DAY

NJ Nj ELI Ia
TRANSFER DAY, MARCH 81, should be our
second most important holiday, led only by Indepen-
dence Day And as the years go by history seems to bear
out this position.
AT THE TIME Of the Transfer, the burning ques-
ton might have been the sea lanes between Europe and
the Panama Canal, and that route had to be preserved.
in Allied hands at all cost. A secondary consideration,
so far as Denmark might have been concerned was the
increasing difficulty OF holding on to colonies that dis
tant from the mother country, especially since those
possessions were not such as to render the continued
control profitable.
ASFAR AS WE are concerned the change was, is,
and always will be a welcome one. To be a part Of the
United States of America is a privilege which only
those who are part of it can know. Nor does this relate
to material power and strength. and the riches that go
with it all. 1t is, instead, the deep satisfaction OF know
ing that there is III our system of government the high
est possible ideals for the good and welfare of man.
IF COURSE. CYNICS may tauntingly point to
much that is wrong-Little Rock, the increasing van
dalism of youth on the loose, unemployment, inequality
in spots, and on and on they could go. Yet, a more sober
and honest appraisal would leave the Conscientious
seeker satisfied that the virtues far outweighed the
vices.
IN OBSERVING THIS Transfer Day, the emphasis
should be on the values and assets of democracy as we
know it under the American system, and a rededication
to the furtherance and application of those ideals which
make the standard of living under the Stars and Stripes
the highest in the world.

Staying Of 49,
Month-0Id BABY

LAUREL, Miss.-Jones County
Prosecutor Leonard Melvin, Jr.,
said a Negro man Kidnapped, raped
and murdered an 18-month-old
Negro baby last night and left the
dead and almost nude body in an
alley less than three blocks from
her home.
Melvin said the man, Allen (Coo-
ter Boy) Dean, Jr., %, admitted
the assault and has been charged
with rape and murder.
The prosecutor said Dean direct
ed police to the site of the crime.
The prosecutor identified the girl
as Shirley Ann Hayes, daughter of
Bernice Pugh, about 80. He said
the examining physician confirmed
the criminal assault and said death
was caused by strangulation.
Officers quoted the mother as
saying Dean peeped through a win
dow in her home about midnight,
she told him to go away or she
would call police, but that he later
returned and tried to assault her.
The mother told officers Dean
kicked the door open and she
fled to a neighbor's home to call
police. When she returned to her
home, she said, her four-year-old
son told her Dean had taken the
baby out the back door.

Cooperative Housing Conference

the problems-and how they have
been overcome-by experts and
promises of backing from congress

They spent two days planning
how coop housing can create bet
ter housing for wage earners.
Union officials told the confer
ence that labor has big stake in
how its members spend their money
for housing and what the govern
ment does to help all people get
homes.
Offered as typical of what unions
are doing to help their members
were the experience of Local 3,

Business Mgr. Harry Van Ars-
dale of IBEW Local 8 described
how the union made $50 loans to
its members, without a single
loss," largely for down payments
in the project, where apartments
cost about SIT per room per month.
The union also convinced many
members on a SIS a week savings
plan. When a member had ac-
cumulated 500, Van Arsdale ex-
planned, he got bond and home.

In general, one months benefit is
deductable for each $50 Tor frac-
ton of $500 of earnings over $1,000
in the year, which means a person
can have earnings of as much as
$1,000 and still receive one months
check. Regardless of the amount
of earnings in a year, checks are
payable for any month in which q
beneficiary neither earns wages of
more than $50 nor renders sub
stantial services in self-employ-
ment. Earnings, regardless of their
amount, have no effect on receipt
of benefits after a person attains

kind, whether or not it is covered
by the Social Security Law, must
be counted in determining the num-
Der of monthly benefit checks due
