I'd PoIuris
Crash Could
Upset Tests

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla, Oct.
8 (AP).-A PolariS test rocket
blew apart and plunged into the
Atlantic yesterday. The ex-
plosion-second this week for
the submarine weapon-could
upset the test program.
The 28-foot rocket ruptured
40 seconds after launching,
showering the ocean with fam
ing fragments. Scores of bath
ers on a nearby beach witnessed
the spectacular sight.
On Monday, the range safety
officer destroyed another Po-
laris when it went out of con-
troll in the air. Today's explo-
sion was caused by something
haywire in the missile.
The double setback came as
the Navy was preparing to
move the Polaris into a more
advanced test stage.
Although range has been no
objective in the flights, recent
successful Polarises have flown
about 700 miles. Notifications
are being made to boost the
range to 900 miles. One of the
longer distance rockets was
fired successfully here Septem-

Grafton to sta billie the
Spanish economy. They were
fully aware that unless this
was done the Western free
world might have trouble
politically in one of the most
sensitive portions of Southern
Europe.
An agreement to provide
the necessary money and
other aid was reached last
spring. Franco placed the ex-
ecution of the plan in the
hands of his relatively youth
full economists, Finance Min
lister Rubio (who is dealing
with the currency, budget and
financial side of the pro-

The officials achieved mir
acles, according to foreign
observers who have returned
recently from Spain. The in
flation spiral which this re-
porter noted last November
when he was in Madrid was
stopped. Wholesale prices
show a slight decrease of 3
per cent. The Importance of
this decline can be appreci-
ated by comparing it with
the increase of 9 to Is per
cent in the Immediately pre-
ceding years.
The cost of living rose only
slightly more than l per cent
after the sterilization pro-
gram started. In the three
preceding years it went up
S, 10 and Is per cent. Act
ually the l per cent is most
ly statistical rather than
realistic when elimination of
Government subsidies and tax
increases on certain consumer
goods are taken into account.
The freeing of the exchange
rate from the shackles of
pegging has also brought i'm
mediate results, such as an
increase in revenue chiefly
through tourism and capital
repatriation, an increase in
exports and a reduction of
demand for imports, especi-
ally those of black market
nature.

On Coveroge of Cuba

The government of Fidel

United States newsmen and
news agencies have been de-

some Cuban newsmen who sup
ported his revolution.

Mr.. Bonsal reported he had

Rosh Hoshonoh and Yom Kippur Cited
For Beauty and Emotion of Ritual
RALPH McGILL

October is the great month

year of Rosh Hashonoh, to
Yom Kippur, the Day of

For many Jews the fact
that the day of Atonement
this year falls on october IL
has special significance. 1t
is the anniversary of the hate
bombing of the Temple in At

Presidents Golf Game
Slowed by Grapefruit

PALM SPRINGS, Calf, Oct.
3 (AP).-President Eisenhower
always has like grapefruit. But
that may change because they
are getting in the way of his
golf.
These are grapefruit still on
trees. And the trees border some
of the fairway at the Ell Dorado
Country Club golf course where
the vacationing President is
playing these days.
The word is that the President
has been off his game and has
been spending a god deal of
time in the rough among the
grapefruit trees. Water hazards
on the course also have been
giving him a lot of trouble.
Doctors Prescription
But despite all that, the Pres
ident is enjoying himself and
the dry, desert climate is just
what his doctor ordered for the
cold the President is trying to
shake.
Mr.. Eisenhower arranged
another golf round for today

he completed the first nine

Hoffa Faces
New Protest

A new complaint against
James r. Hoffa has been filed
by the monitors of his big
Transfers Union. This one says
Mr.. Hoffa won't follow the
monitors recommendations for
reforming union elections.
The monitors yesterday asked
District Court Judge F. Dickin-
son Let's to order Mr.. Hoffa to
put the reforms into effect.
They asked a hearing on the
matter next week.
A number of monitor COM
plants already are before Judge
Let's, including one that would
have Mr.. Hoffa removed as
president of the union. That
complaint says Mr.. Hoffa mis-
used funds of his home local
|299 of Detroit.
The three man board OF
monitors was set up nearly two
years ago as the result OF a
suit by rank-and-f1le union
members that charged Mr..
Hoffa's election to the top
union post had been rugged.
The suit was compromised
and Mr.. Hoffa was allowed to
take office under an agreement
that set up the monitors to act
as a watchdog on union affairs.
Lower courts have ruled that
the monitors can get enforce
ment by the courts on their
reform suggestions. Mr.. Hotta
has appealed this ruling to the
Supreme Court and a decision
is likely this fall.
It was reported reliably that
the monitors intend to file still
more complaints next week
charging that Mr.. Hoffs and
Teamster officials have failed
to comply with reform sugges-
tions.
In brief, the three major
election reform proposals are
these:
l. Knock out the union rule
that makes members ineligible
to vote or run for office if an
employer fails to turn over
their checked-off dues to the
union in set time. The
monitors argue that this de-
vice is used by Teamster Off
Gals to keep dissidents in line.
2. Require union locals to
make mailing lists and other
facilities available to opposi-
ton candidates as we'll as in
cumbents for distributing cam
paign literature.
8. Make it possible to NOM
mate candidates for local
union office by mail or petition
of two members. AS it is, many
members are unable to attend
nominating meetings because
they are out on the road with
their trucks.

Ten Days in the Jewish Liturgy


its ournful poignancy
through centuries which
reach back almost to the
mists of recorded time. 1t
is a chant whose words were
written in Aramaic, which is
the language spoken by the
tribe of David from which
came Jesus the NaZarene.
There is a dispute about
the origin of the chant. Ger
tainly, at the time of the In
QUESTION in Spain, when
children forcibly were taken
from their parents and placed
in schools at converts and
monasteries, and when tor
ture was employed to exact
conversions, the chant was
one in which vows made I'M
der duresS were Cancelled.
But others trace it back to
the earlier days of persecu-
ton under the pharaohs.
Early on the morning Of the
day of Yom Kippur the doors
of the temples and syna-
gogues open and there is an
all-day service from the pray
err book. 1t is a day of fast
ing and deep solemnity.
october includes, too. the
Feast of the Tabernacles. 1t
is one corresponding roughly
to Americas Thanksgiving
Day. 1t is a celebration of
harvest. To this day in coun-
tries where Jews lead pastoral
lives, temporary shelters are
built and hung with fruits,
vines and green branches to
symbolic the huts which the
children of Israel erected dur
ing their long weary years Of
wandering in the wilderness.

prayer for crops and, near the
end of the month, one Of
Rejoicing in the Law" The

books of Moses and a new

With relatively little assist
ance from the United States,
the World Bank and other
similar international organi-
cations, Spain has made gains
which are described by par
Elephants in the annual meet
ing of these official banker
statesmen as almost sensa-
tional.
This situation was disclosed
at the international gather
ing in Washington by two
young men who have been
placed in charge of SPANS
economic affairs. They are
Alberto Ullastres. minister OF
commerce. and Marine Nava-
or Rubio. minister of finance.
Between them they had the
mission to improve the shaky
Spanish national economy
with an important blood
TRANSMISSION" of international
capital-especially American
assistance. 1t was, according
to specialists, a gigantic task
because Spain was seriously
sick for more than a quarter
OLA century.
The war between the So
called Republican actually
Communist directed) forces
and the Nationalist headed
by Gen. Francisco Franco
lasted three years, and like
all civil war was very des-
tructive. Much blood was
spilled and resources of the
country destroyed. To top
everything in the economic
and financial tragedy of
Spain. Franco found after he
had defeated the Communists
that the treasury was empty.
More than $500 million in
gold had been sent by the
Loyalists to the Soviet Union
for safekeeping. That amount
was never returned.
To repeated requests by the
Spanish government Russia
gave vague answers such as
that the gold had been used to
pay for the military equip
ment sent by the USSR to
the Loyalists. And making
things worse, at the end of
the war the Western powers
applied a virtual economic
embargo to Spain at the in
stigation of Stain. It was not
an official embargo but an
unofficial boycott which COM

Importance Is Cited
He added that this is of spe-
cial Importance these days
when the Nation must make
full use of its resources and
people to meet the challenge
of other nations and political
systems.
I'VE have the basic resources
and know-how essential for the
maintenance of an ever-ex-
panding economy" Mr.. Nixon
said. I'VE can keep all our
people busy producing wealth,
enhancing the welfare of all
citizens and increasing the
Nations strength.
But to do this, we must stop
up the leaks-the waste which
nature on the rampage inflictS
on the country's resources.
I'VE must never give in to
the insidiouS idea that some
regions of our country are per-
petual poor sisters due to re-
current threats of food" Mr..
Nixon said. "Basically, this is
the purpose of the project
which we launch today"

Concord Airport for the cere-
mony he was greeted by a

"Non Political Visit"
The Vice President called his
New Hampshire visit non
political" But there were many
who said it gives him an oppor-
tunity to assess his strength
in the State which holds the
Nations first presidential pref
erence primary of 1860 next
March 8.
Only last week end, Gov
Rockefeller of New York made
a similar "non-political" visit
to New Hampshire. Gov. Rock
efeller's stated object was to
attend a Dartmouth College
football game and meet fellow
graduates of Dartmouth.
Plans UnannOunced
Mr.. Nixon has not yet an
nounced his plans for 1860. but
there is little doubt among po-
litical observers in New Hamp-
shire that he will be a candi-
date and will enter this States
"early-bird" primary.
A chicken barbecue for Mr..
Nixon and $500 persons was to

ceremonies. The Vice President
was to attend a reception in
Concord late in the afternoon,
sponsored by the Republican
State Committee, and an in
formal dinner meeting with the
press.

Two Officials Credited With Heading
Nation Out of Financial Doldrums

and also put its paper-money
presses to working overtime.
The boycott ended partially
about 10 years ago when,
thanks to the intervention Of
the United States Congress.
the Truman administration
agreed to extend a small
credit through the Export
Import Bank to permit the
Spaniards to purchase some
of our surplus agricultural
products and some agricul-
tural machinery.
Resumption of full diplo-
matte relations with Spain
followed an agreement be-
tween Spain and the United
States to establish American
air and naval bases in various
parts of Spain. Since that
time, some five years ago,
this government has granted
direct economic and military
support. But the financial
and economic tragedy of is
years ago could not be quick
ly offset, even with $500 mil
lion a year in military and
economic aid.
The cost of living through
out Spain rose by leaps and
bounds. The peseta which I'M
til recently was pegged at
about 40 to the dollar would
be purchased in the free
markets of Switzerland and
Tangier at go or more. The
Spanish workers and farm
ers began to resent their 18th
century mode of living. They
wanted many of the modern
amenities of life. There was
a real danger that unchecked
initiation might ruin the
strong position of the govern
ment with the rank and file
of the people. The peasants
wanted tractors to replace
the mules and oxen in the
field. Workers in the indus
trial north wanted more and
better food. And they wanted
motor scooters like their fell
lows in Italy and France.
The weakness of the ma
tional currency could not en-
courage the establishment of
important foreign industries.
In order to defend the peseta.
the Spanish government
could permit only a small
fraction of the profits of
foreign industrialists to leave
Spain as hard currency.
Under the impact of these
