Peoce-It's Wonderful

A first impression of Nikita Khru-
shchevs total disarmament plan is that
the Soviet Premier is not content with
sending rocket to the moon-he wants
the moon itself. Nevertheless, we well
come our own Governments response
that this proposal will receive most
careful study.
This. is the proper reaction for more
than one reason. The Khrushchev pro-
poSal may be merely another propa-
ganda stunt. Even so, it can be used
effectively in many parts of the world
so much so that. it would be folly
for us to brush it aside. Then there
is always the possibility that Mr. Khru-
Shchev may be. sincerely DESTROYS Of
easing the armaments burden. If he
really believes that communism, in
what he calls peaceful coexistence, will
win out over capitalism, then it would
serve the interests of the Soviet Union
to be able to devote more of its national
effort to nonmilitary productive prof.
ects. And nations ordinarily will abide
by those agreements, and only those
agreements, which they believe to be
beneficial to them.
Finally, the feasibility and the risks
OF total or even limited disarmament
should not be appraised in isolation.
They must be considered against the
possibility and the consequences Of total
war. All human experience teaches that
arms races lead eventually to armed
collisions. And in this nuclear age, an
armed collision would be the greatest
disaster that could be visited upon
mankind.
1t follows, therefore, that any dis
armament proposal, however Utopian it
may appear to be, deserves the most
careful and sympathetic examination.
OF course, the United States should not
and will not disarm in any degree un-
less it can be sure that the other powers
are following suit. In this respect, Mr..
Khrushchev offered little or nothing
that is reasSuring. But the United
Nations speech may not have been his
last word on this aspect Of the matter.
If he really wants disarmament he may
be willing to accept the essential con-
trolls. Our determined purpose should
be to find out whether this is the case.

Family Iritotions

AS the AFL-CIO meets in San Fran
cisco in the third biennial convention of
this largest body Of organized American
labor, there are contrasting trends Of
unity and disunity within the Fedora
ton itself and in the labor movement as
a whole.
Most open of the riffs within the
Federation, although perhaps not Of the
greatest significance, is that revolving
around Soviet Premier Khrushchev's
visit to the Golden Gate city this week
end. After some warm debate several
weeks ago, the Federation's executive
council decided against inviting the
Communist chief to address a conven-
ton session but left the way open for
individual AFL-CIO officials to meet
with him II they so wished. President
George Meany was the most outspoken
OF those opposed to any trafflc with Mr..
Khrushchev, and Mr.. Meany reopened
the fight this week with bitter denun-
citation of the Soviet Premier and his
attempt to spread the doctrine of slav-
cry in the world" Even as Mr.. Meany
was speakil';, however, Federation Vice
Presidents Walter Reuther and James
B. Carey were completing preparations
for Sunday night dinner meeting with
the man from Moscow.
1t has not been charged in this con-
nection that the Reuther- Carey faction
is being soft on communism" and they
have in fact emphasized that their pur-
pose is to spell out some truths about
American labor to the number one Com
munist. At the same time, their will
ingneSs to collide head on with Mr..
Meany on this issue fits the current pic
ture OF division in the top echelons of
AFL-CIO leadership. In various ways,
the Reuther-Carey group has Indicated
its disapproval of what it considers the
Meany policies Of moderation" on many
issues. In large part, the split follows
the premerger lines of ALL versus CLIO.
The mood Of irritation undoubtedly has
been deepened by the fact that labor's
greatest victory" at the polls in last
November's congressional races has been
followed by enactment of labor reform
law that is generally unwelcome to all
factions Of labor's leadership.
On one issue-the steel strike and
its challenge to the labor movement
there has been a noticeable effort to
establish solid front Of moral and
financial support for the steelworkers.
BY unanimous vote, the convention has
committed its entire membership to
a multi-million dollar aid program.
Even here, however, it has been the
original CIo unions that first pledged
money and. pressed hardest for Joint
action. The tangible measure of the
Federation's across-the-b board response,
and the outcome of this showdown In a
basic industry, may have significant
bearing on how the AFL-CIO family"
is to get along in the near future.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Outpost on Mars Seen in 20 Years
BY THOMAS R. HEINZ

An outpost on Mars within
20 years
This is the prediction Of
Brig. Gen. Homer A. Bou-
shey. deputy director of re-
search and development for
the Air Force.
In some ways, says Gen.
Boushey in the journal Of
the Air Force University. es-
adjustment Of such q manned
outpost In the only other part
Of the solar system suppos-
edly able to support life,
will be simpler than on the
moon. On Mars man will
find air Of q sort, probably
water. perhaps vegetation. It
win be extremely cold, but
probably not too cold for
human survival.
Man Needs Oxygen
At present. he points out,
relatively little Is known
about the Marian atmos-
phere, only that it is some-
what thinner than the at
mosphere on top Of Mount
Everest. Much depends on
the chemical makeup Of the
"air." Man must have oxy-
gen to survive. II this ele-
ment is present. 1t will only
be necessary to compress it

Astronomers generally are
agreed that there may be
water. second human neces-
sity, on the neighbor planet
THE biggest problem" he
says. appears to be that OF
survival during the voyage.
Estimates Of the duration
range from 81 to 244 days.
Keeping men alive during
such prolonged voyages in
sealed containers is not an
easy task. But even this
formidable problem, I be-
lieve. will be overcome In the
next 20 years"
Despite the greater diff
culties except for time of
flight. however. Gen. Boushey
believes that a camp on the
moon will come before one
on Mars. Some of the major
difficulties will be the same,
he points out, in either case.
Simple calculations, Gen.
Boushey says, show that the
gross weight of the vehicle
and crew must be Of the
order Of a million pounds.
It is q question, he says.

very short. These strange

EvoIuotes Congress

AS q Democrat. ! find 1t
difficult to agree with William

just-adjourned Congress. He
is. Of course. right when he
says that things fell the way

In the long run our great
est problem is education. A
dictatorship works we'll
enough with q high percent
age Of dunderheads. In q real
democracy we need the high
est possible level Of education
and understanding with re-
spect to public affairs. No
country has ever reached
such q level. but this Nation
won't survive unless our edu-
cational level Is raised. Con-
gress could have done much
to improve our educational
system.
Democratic efforts on labor
legislation were childish. No
one seemed to know what was
needed and no real steps were
taken to 1ind out. The worst
crime revealed by the Nc
Clellan hearings was bribery
by management. The new
labor law does not touch that
problem.
Congress agreed to an in
crease in the gas tax and q
rise in interest rates. Both
help the wealthy and hurt the
ordinary citizen. Would 1t
not have been in the public
interest to reduce the gas
depletion allowances. increase
certain corporation taxes and
strengthen the income tax
laws as they apply to nom
salaried individuals? Il is
basic Democratic doctrine to
oppose high interest rates.
The administration has up to
now failed to make 1t clear
that there is q scarcity Of
money for loan to justify the
increase In interest rates.
Housing Is a national prob

there is no housing problem.
We Democrats should know

We used to claim that there
were no civil rights In Russia.
Now we don't talk so much
about that situation. Gains in
the civil rights area have
been spotty Of late. Our
President has done little and
Congress has done less. When
the appointment Of q mere
advisory committee on civil
rights becomes the cause of
an obstructive filibuster, 1t is
obvious that most of our talk
Of human equality and well
