Loxity Laid
ToOfficers
On Currency
BY the Associated Press

The Air Force says that two
officers relieved of their COM
mands in Turkey failed to
supervise enforcement of cur
rency regulations in their
commands.
The officers are Col. Robert
N. Wilkinson, commander of
Logistical Detachment No. 20
at Izmir, Turkey. and 1t. Col.
Charles N. Moss. commander
of the Air Force hospital at
that NATO base.
The Air Force last week con-
f1rmed removal of the two
officers from their commands
but gave no reason except to
refer to published accounts of
their complaints against alleged
mistreatment of four American
enlisted men now on trial be-
fore Turkish authorities for
violating currency regulations.
The Air Force said yesterday
the officers were relieved "for
failure to exercise their COM
mand responsibilities in a salts
factory manner, resulting in
inadequate supervision within
their organizations of the es-
tablished procedures for au-
thorized money transactions"
The action was taken by Gen.
Frederick H. Smith, jr., Air
Force commander in Europe,
who sent investigators to Tur-
key to look into alleged black
market operations and claims
by the American enlisted men
Of mistreatment by Turkish
authorities.
In Washington, the White
House said that the relief of
Col. Wilkinson and Col. Moss
lis not related in any way to
the allegations of mistreat-
ment." 1t said both officers
will remain in Turkey for as
long as their testimony might
be required in the trials of the
four enlisted men.

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Peril in Soviet Peace Offensive

militant, imperialistic COM
munism would be simply a
time for preparation. 1t would
be a period of structural re-
enforcement. during which
the Communist edif1ce would
be buttressed. all remaining
opposition eliminated, all
vestiges Of freedom removed
in the interest of the mono
lithic state.
1t has been argued that all
institutions Of mankind's
devising must inevitably
change as the years 60 on.
According TO this theory, the
Soviet Union will move
closer to Western thinking,
will abandon much of its
dictatorial trappings, will
gradually permit democratic
alton. In time, the reasoning
goes. there will be no longer
a danger Of aggression
against the free world be-
cause the Soviet empire itself
will have moved toward free
dom
This is an attractive posi-
ton, one which can appeal to
every person in the world.
The only trouble with it is
that it fails to keep step with
history as we have come to
know 1t. Certainly the world
must know by now, with so
many hard lessons behind it,
that power feeds on power. A
dictatorship must ever ex-
pand its control over the peo-
pie; at the very moment that
such expansion ceases, the
dictatorship begins to lose
fast.
If we are to have a long
peaceful era in our relations
with the Communist empire,
we should be at all times
aware of its true nature.
Perhaps if we are awake
enough, we can avoid the
perils inherent in the flight
of the Kremlin's dove Of
peace. But the outlook is
gloomy that the West could
be awake enough to survive.
Temptation to relax is too
strong, and there is no whip
to remind us of our follies.

As might be expected in the
midst of the current Soviet
peace offensive. there is a
new chorus of Western voices
proclaiming that. after all.
there really is no reason to
distrust the Communists.
They sincerely want and,
more to the point, need a
period of peace, say these
hopeful optimists. They go
on to proclaim soothingly
that, as time goes on, COM
munism will inevitably be-
come less militant and ag-
gressive, suspicious and total
itarian.
We are reminded of the
popular explanation put for
ward so often in the years
before the triumph of the
Chinese Communists - that
they were really not Commu-
nists, but simple agrarian
reformers trying to end feud-
alism in teeming China. The
legions of Mao Tse-tung
made short work of that
legend after they forced
Chang Kai-shek to flee to
Formosa. and they have been
at pains to re-emphasize
their basic and brutal COM
munism ever since.
1t is perfectly reasonable
to accept the argument that
the Kremlin seeks a long pc
riod of peace. There are
ample signs and reliable evil
dence that this is a fact-So
far as it goes. A long peace,
at least a truce, would have
every advantage for Moscow
and few for the free world.
The mechanics of free society
would inevitably operate,
despite all the words of eau
ton that could be uttered. to
disarm the West, to induce
a feeling of safety and COM
placency. and to lull people
everywhere into an easy,
prosperous somnolence. In a
few years time, the Commu-

sumo that the Creator, in His
wisdom, made life possible
only on earth.
It is BEAUTIFULLY humbling
to have suggested that we Of
earth are just now approach
ing the knowledge which
some other civilization had
perhaps three million or more
years ago.
All this sent me to a book
owned by a young student
and space expert who lives at
our house. Mars, / relearn, is
just over half the size Of
earth in diameter. 1t has.
therefore, only rs per cent Of
the earth's surface. 1t is a
nice. tidy, economical size.
The avail tilt is about the
same as earth's. 1t has sea-
sons, but, since the Marian
year is 687 days, they last
longer. In the telescope Mars
shows brilliant polar caps,
which wax and wane as win
ter comes and goes. There
are red and orange desert
areas. There are irregular
dark areas about the equator.
There are clouds and hail
ness. In summer the icecaps
melt and water spreads down
toward the equator. There are
large numbers of curious lin
ear markings. For a time
these were believed to be
canals.
There is no oxygen-save
that locked in the rocks and
sands of its deserts. If plants
exist they could claim oxy-
gen from the soil instead of
air.
The other basic raw mate
rails for plant life are all
present on Mars-carbon di-
oxide, water and sunlight.
Nor is it too cold for life. At
noon, in summer. the tenn
perature should be about 80
degrees Fahrenheit, and at
the equator should be warm
er. However, the nights and
winters must be extremely
bitter. But, since it is a small
planet. it would have been
easy to have moved with the
seasonS-until the oxygen
disappeared.

President Hits
Roads Delay
BY the Associated Press

President Eisenhower blames
the Democratic-controlled Con-
gress for the situation that has
caused a cutback in funds for
the interstate highway pro-
gram.
Federal spending on the pro-
gram was held to $1.8 billion
for the current fiscal year that
began July /, and the admins
tration set strict limits on the
amount any State may spend in
any one quarter. 1t originally
had been planned to spend $2.5
billion this year.
Senator Gore, Democrat of
Tennessee. in a letter to Mr..
Eisenhower last month, said
such a showdown in payments
would be deliberate default
in payment of obligations to
the States"
Replying to Senator Gore in
a letter made public yesterday,
Mr.. Eisenhower said the cuts
were forced by a shortage of
funds in the Highway Trust
Fund. He noted he had asked
for a 1.5-cent increase in the
Federal gasoline tax for the
next four years. Congress ap-
proved only 1-cent tax in
crease for % months, plus
shifting of other tax revenues.
That, said Mr.. Eisenhower,
lis directly responsible for the
problem with which we are
confronted today"
The limitation of highway
spending this year was the
only prudent and equitable
course to follow" Any other
course, he added, would be
f1scally irresponsible"

Strontium 90
In Milk Drops
After Peak
BY the Associated Press

The amount of radioactive
Strontium 80 in milk appears to
be declining after reaching rec
ord high levels in New York
City and North Dakota earlier,
the Atomic Energy Commission
reports.
In Mandan, N. Oak, during
May, the strontium 80 level in
milk hit Ala strontium units
the highest ever reported in the
United States, said the Acc
yesterday in a periodic report
on fallout.
In New York. the level nearly
doubled from 1874 in May to
1852 in June. the latter the
highest ever reported in New
York.
In both places, however, and
in the country generally, the
levels showed a sharp drop in
July, the Acc reported. For
Mandan, the figure was 1922,
and for New York, 14.4.
(Strontium 80 is a radioac-
tive byproduct of nuclear ifs
sion. The figures used refer
to micromicrocuries of radia-
ton per liter of milk, a micro
microcurie being equal to a
Mathematician of a gram of
radium. A Government radia-
ton committee has set the
maximum permissible level of
strontium 80 in milk at 80
micromicrocurieS per liter.)
Acc officials said the tiuc-
tuating levels of strontium 90
reflected the fallout pattern,
which reached a peak during
April, May and June in diff
ferent parts of the country.
The fallout being recorded
now is flltering down from the
nuclear tests conducted by the
United States and Russia be-
fore they agreed to a one-year
ban last October.

Dancers Follow Rhino
Into Brazilian Ruckus

the parade of dancers who tied
up downtown traffic yesterday
and sang their victory song to
the tune of bongo drums.
The half-ton female rhino
had been sent back to the zoe
in Rio de Janeiro in a dispute
over the ownership just before
the municipal election in which
she led the ticket with more
than 100000 write-in votes.
In the Brazilian Congress,
a Leftist Nationalist deputy
charged Skinny was a plot of
foreign trusts that want to
demoralize the regime" The
press called the surprise sup
port for Skinny-with the help
of testing university students
a protest against corruption.
Skinny will never serve. Her
election and all the votes cast
for her have been invalidated.
In rough translation, the
samba victory song for Skinny
goes like this:
There is no beef,
There is no bread,
And children are without
schools.
It's a bad situation.
The peoples complaints found
no echo. and so they
elected Skinny.
Who is Skinny?
She is the lack of rice and
beans,
She is the lack of shame,
There is no other solution
For a people tired of this game,
And in disgust, they elected
Skinny.

The problem of making fast
nuclear submarines sound less
like a herd of underwater loco
motives has been partially
solved by Navy scientists here.
Rear Admiral Ralph K.
James, chief of the Bureau of
Ships, said yesterday that new
systems of sound suppression
worked out at the Navy's David
Taylor Model Basin, near Wash
ington. will provide a signifi-
cant step forward. They will be
installed in about two weeks
in one of the nuclear submar-
ines under construction.
One of the great drawbacks
to the use of nuclear submar-
ines is their noise. Navy sub
fighters found that existing
nuclear subs are so noisy sound
detection equipment can work
at great range with great eff
cheney. Nuclear subs sneaking
in to attack have great speed

marine acts like a drum and
spreads all this noise for hun
dreds of miles.
Only if it slows to the speed
of a conventional submarine

ed out that these satellites
