ARMS CUT COMING?

Prospects are better for major arms
cut in the United States at the present time
than they have been in number of years.
The question which arises in the minds of
many is how such cut will affect our ecOnO-
my.
Interestingly, this was the question which
was raised in Nikita Khrushchev's mind, and
a point he praised quite often, during his
visit in the United States. The communists
have told the world, through their propa-
ganda machine, that the u. S. will not
agree to disarmament because an arms cut
would depress business and cause a depres-
sion in the u. S. economy.
AS matter of truth, civilian production
has taken precedent over military production
in all the years since World War III, with the
possible exception of brief period during
the Korean conflict. Even then, the import
ance of civilian production was not forgot
ten.
AS result, defense spending in the
United States is considered only about ten
percent of the total spending, for all goods
and services, and therefore, major arms
cut would not cause depression in the
United States.
1t would cause some temporary dislOcation
and some spotty sectional recessions, but If
Congress reduced taxes as defense spending
was reduced, the net effect on the economy
would probably be on the plus side.
1nere are nQ1caClOnS CnaL AdInlnlSITa-
tiOn officials, and even some in the Defense
Department, foresee arms cuts in the future.
The recent announcement that the Air Force
was abandoning its program to produce the
F-108 00-mile-an-hour fighter does not
mean that this cutback is already under way.
However, chances for an arms cut IN
1860, or 1861, seem better than they have
been for years. While all Americans hope
that such a cut comes about, it can be ne
gotiated only on a basis of absolute security,
where in adequate inspection and safeguards
are insured4so that the United States will
not disarm alone, as far as the two greatest
powers in the world are concerned
One need not look backwards too far
too see the melancholy results of hasty dis
armament, both in 1915 and 1856, and inn
mediately after World War |, when we
scrapped many fine warships and allowed
the Army to be reduced to impotency.

HaiUaH Finding
Uses For It's Lara

But an agricultural expert here,
Richard j. Lyman, Jr., noticed
grass growing along roads built
across old lava flows. He decided
that breaking up. the lava might
expose minerals In the rock that
can sustain plant life phosphate
and potash.
Experiments have borne out Ly-
mans theory. A University of
Hawaii geologist, Agatin t. Abbott,
believes lasa-ruined land can be
restored to productivity with a
good bull-dozing job.
One old flow is now supporting
10000 trees bearing tasty maca-
damia nuts
This, says Abbott, would pro-
vide an almost inexhaustible sup
ply of these essential building ma
terials and stop the depletion of
beach sands, which is detrimental
to the visitor industry"
The most imaginative use of
lava-as cloth-seems the most
remote. But Abbott, has recon-
mended the idea be studied.
Commercially, the construction
industry has. been in the forefront
with its use of lava in cement.
Tests now underway may also re-
suit in grinding lava as substi-
tute for sand in concrete making.

This will probably mean a move

Retailing will mostly have moved

(9) GERMAN POPULATION and
ECONOMIC GROWTH. The phen-
omenal rise of the German economy
since World War II, from the rub
BILE of ear-obliteration, is proof of
the economic power and potential
of this country. In the past decade,
Germany's output has more than
doubled and its Gross National
Product almost tripled. This year
however, the great postwar boom
appears to be leveling off. Although
the major force of the economic
explosion brought on by the re-
construction of Europe may now be
over, the European economy should
continue to grow with a greater
concentration on world markets.
Already in the past decade Ger

creased four-fold. will write more

HONOLULU Up Hawaiians
owe a lot to their lava. Without
it, and the volcanoes that spewed
the fearful stuff, there wouldn't
be a Hawaii.
But until recently, lava lay
where it fell, useless and often a
destroyer.
With the islands determined to
develop themselves economically,
Hawaiians are taking another look
at their most plentiful resource.
Land ravaged by lava flows
is being restored to cultivation
with new technique.
The construction industry is
using lava for building block and
as an ingredient in cement.
Modern. buildings in Honolulu
are using lava in pillars and fac
ings.
And, one day perhaps, Hawaiian
fashions will be made with a
Hawaiian material lava.
Six square miles of farm land
on the island of Hawaii were COW
cred by molten lava in, the erup-
ton of 1866. 1t could take decades,

Everyday meals will be served on
plastic throw-away dinnerware.
Washing of clothes, kitchen uten-
sils, and silverware as well as
certain industrial cleaning jobs,

waterless washers. Most homes will
be dust and germ-free, and will be
heated and air conditioned evenly
and inexpensively. Some apparel
socks, underwear, and dress shirts
are now being designed for one
time USE.

OS. Fayorite TV programs are
being picked up by using timing
devices and stored on video tape
for viewing at the individuals lei

can be used for ordinary commun-

if not all of the worlds poverty

governments will surely exercise
strict controls over materials all
ocation, production, distribution,
advertising, profit margins, specu-
lation, and credit. Taxes will be
more confiscatory. Capitol gains
and inheritance are being taxed at

craft is used.
The G. A. B. says, however, that
the major airlines should start
lowering their fares in 1860, be-
cause of the use of jets. Mean
while the c. A. B. hints that air.
lines can begin introducing pro-
motional fares and excursion rates
on jets even sooner.
The lower rates will be a nat
ural evolution in aerial travel, for
jet liners, while expensive, will
carry twice as many passengers
and carry them twice as fast.
Thus the jet age brings with II
progress not only in scheduling
but in cost, and this is thoroughly
welcomed in this age of imitation
One significant result will be ar
even greater increase in aerial

tive.
NixOn's Popularity
The latest Gallup Poland we
are not sure that polls are all they
are cracked up to be-shows that
for the first time, Vice Presidenf
Richard Nixon has out-polled Sen

This is considered highly heart

that the Democrat, Kennedy, wa:

fairly accurate sampling of pub

WASHINGTON g$@fl

BOhlen Back
Charles E. Bohlen, top-f1ight U.
S. expert on the Soviet Union, is
being recalled from the Philippine
Islands to take a top job in the
State Department in Washington
dealing with Soviet affairs.
This announcements the
State Department-means that the
man who opened the U. S. En-
bassy in Moscow in the early
1930's, under President RooseveIt's s
Administration, will be back on
the job dealing with the Russians.
There are those in the State De-
partment who think Bohlen is the
most versed American in Russian
affairs on the scene,
We think this appointment is in
order, although it has been oppos-
ed strenuously by several Sena-
tors. Among them are Republican
Senator Styles Bridges, of New
Hampshire, and Senator Everett
NJ. Dirksen, of Illinois. These are
powerful Republicans, for one i:
the COP Policy Committee Chair
man and the other is the Senate
Republican Leader.
In summary, then, Bohlen gets
an appointment in time to accom-.
pany President Eisenhower to the
Soviet Union, on his trip this Fall
| if the President so desires. While
he will probably do this, even j
| he doesn't, his return to the State
Department is in order, and should
be of value to the Department.

Gently indicated that jet liners will
