A push-button electronic
scouting system which will
enable battlefield command
ers to learn inStantly-with-
out risking a single soldier
what goes on in enemy ter
ritory now is being developed
for the Army.
The So-called AN-USD-5
is described by 1t. Gen. Ar
thur G. Trudeau, Army chief
or research and development,
as "the greatest single ad-
vance in the art of Surveil-
lance since the days Of the
Army frontier scout. This
new electronic scout is as
modern as the missiles for
which it will search out
targets"
The system is being de-
veloped for the Signal Corps
by the Fairchild Airplane
Corporation under the direc-
ton of the Signal Research
and Development Laboratory
at Fort Monmouth, N. j. It
is one of a family Of tactical
surveillance systems in a
general program which the
Army has undertaken.
THE system being devel-
oped," says an Army descrip-
ton, combines jet speed
with the lightning speed of
electronics. It consists of ad-
vanced ground and airborne
equipment and an unnamed,
jet-powered combat surveil-
lance drone which sends back
information while in flight.
Cannot Be Fooled
1T will operate day and
night, under all weather con-
ditions and will not be fooled
by camouflage. Flying at low
attitudes and high speeds,
the turbo-jet drone cannot
be stopped easily by enemy
action. It can remain over
enemy areas for extended
periods and may be recovered
and reused"
BY providing instantaneous
information about the enemy
at all times, according to the
claims, the system will enable
a field commander to moni-
tor enemy movements con-
tinuously and acquire target
data for firing tactical weap-
ons against troops, tanks in
movement or batteries. The
drone can be scheduled to
stay in a target area and send
back reports after missile
firings so that the commander
can determine whether the
missiles were effective against
their targets.
Two successful test flights
have been made to date.
The system includes two air
transportable huts, the drone,

Observing Customs

The recent incident involv-
ing the barring of African
students from an all-white
apartment building and
other lesser incidents con-
cerning foreign students in
this country caused me to
reflect.
During the mid 1950s I
spent almost 5 years working
abroad in private industry,
both in Latin America and
Africa. Prior to my overseas
assignments I had been ad-
monished by my employers
and Government to Scrupu-
lously observe all local Gus
toms. codes and standards of
conduct. I did, and was re-
warded by acceptance among
the local people, as a for
eigner, but one who realized
his position. However, in our
role as an international
Uriah Heep we wiring our
hands and humble apollo
getically when foreigners
come to this area and bla-
family ignore our own GUS
toms. Whether our standards
Of racial conduct are right or
wrong, and they are, of
course, open to innumerable
interpretations, it lies not
within the province of these
persons to judge them, nor
for our own citizens with sus-
pect wisdom to lead them
into controversial situations.
Were this free intervention
to be condoned in alien lands,
I conceivably could have led
raids to free the slaves in the
Ivory Coast area of Africa
or burned the cocoa fields of
Bolivia-two abominable sit
uations which exist and are
ignored today.

in the last six years because
one party controlled the
White House and the other
the Capitol. Mr.. Eisenhower
has been able to deal with a
Democratic Congress - and
Mr.. Nixon could do the same,
with the people back Of him.
While the number Of reg
istered Democratic voters
exceeds the number of reg
istered Republicans. there
are two facts that should be
considered in estimating the
political complexion of the
country. The first is that
there is a huge number Of
independent voters who
move from one party to the
other when it comes to elect
ing a President. The second
is that the Democratic Party
really consists Of two parties
the conservative Southern
Democrats and radical North
ern Democrats. In the last
two presidential elections
great numbers of indepen-
dents and Democrats swung
over to Mr.. Eisenhower rather
than vote for the Democratic
candidate, Adlai Stevenson.
Big Issues Remain
The big factors in these
two elections were peace and
the high regard for Dwight
D. Eisenhower, who COM
manded the allied armies in
Europe in the Second World
War. In the second of these
elections the issue was also
prosperity. The country was
doing we'll under Republican
rule, Notwithstanding the
prophecies of economic dis
aster made by the Democrats
the same kind of prophecies
which the Democrats are
making today. The issue OF
war and peace-which most
people today consider para
mount-exists in this CAM
paign as it did in the last
two elections. So does the
issue of prosperity. which
should help the Republicans.
for more people are employed
at better wages than ever
before in the history of the
country. The Democrats are
promising they will do more
for the people if they have
the White House but the
route they propose calls for
vast increases in Government
spending with money taken
from the taxpayers.
Senator Kennedy has been
on the stump almost contin-
uouSly the last six months or
more. People have had time
to know something of him
and what he stands for. Mr..
Nixon, who has stuck more
closely to his job in Wash
ington, is now opening an
intensive campaign in which
he should become better
known to the people and have
an opportunity to develop
his own programs for the
future. The two candidates
have agreed to joint appear
ance, which should aid the
voters in their decision. Un-
doubtedly large numbers of
voters have already made up
their minds for whom they
will cast their ballots. The
rest should decide which
candidate they think will
make the better and stronger
President-not basing their
decisions on the length of
one mans hair or the other
mans nose, but on their be-
lief in the ability Of one or
the other.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Time to Forget Petty DisIikes
By GOULD LINCOLN


Too many people are say
ing today: IT don't like either
candidate for President
Nixon or Kennedy" 1t is an
obvious fact, however. these
people must come to grips
with the problem of selecting
the next President Of the
United States. They must
decide - outside their per-
Sonal likes and dislikeS-
which man is capable of
doing the better job as Chief
Executive. 1t is a decision Of
vast importance. For the
United States is facing tre-
mendous challenges, in which
freedom and peace or war are
involved. The Office Of Presi-
dent has become not only
powerful but of tremendous
significance to the world.
Some are saying let the Sc
lection of a President be
decided on party lines-that
the two-party system is basic
in the politics of this country.
It is a fact, however, or
should be a fact, that the
President of the United
States is not merely Presi-
dent of the Democratic Party
or President of the Republic
can Party. He is President of
and for all the people of the
United States. President
Eisenhower has taken this
view of the great office he
holds-and has stuck to it.
He has done an excellent job
during his almost eight years
as Chief Executive. His critics
will deny thiS-aS they are
doing today in the present
campaign but the over
whelming sentiment of the
people has been otherwise as
shown by his second election,
the most sweeping in history
since the two-party system
developed strongly. and as
shown by the public opinion
polls since that election.
No Great Harm in Split
The choice of a President
should not be determined by
the ability of a candidate to
out-promise his opponent in
his appeals to special groups
of citizens. Nor should
it be made because it appears
that one house of Congress.
or even both houses, may be
dominated by a certain poll
tical party. It is true that
the Senate will remain in the
control of the Democrats
after the coming national
election-for the simple rea-
son that only one-third of its
100 Senators are up for re-
election this year and the
Democratic membership is so
large that a Republican ma
jority of the body seems an
utter imposSibility.
Whether, should Mr.. Nixon
be elected President, the
House of Representatives
would also be won by the
Republicans is at present
anybody's guess. The Repub-
lican leaders say they would
elect a COP. majority of the
Representatives. 1t is a fact
that in 1856, when Mr.. Eisen-
hover was reelected PreSi-
dent. the Democrats con-
tinued to control the House
But it does not follow that
this would happen again. In.
deed, if Mr.. Nixon prevails
in this coming contest against
Senator Kennedy. he may
very well have a Republican
House to deal with. In any
event, the American people
have not suffered too greatly

should report directly to the

Senator Kennedy claimed
that American disarmament
proposals have been "hurriedly
drafted" mainly because less
than 100 full-time officials
scattered throughout the Gov
eminent are working in this
complex field.
Despite Senator Kennedy's
advice, the administration has
decided that the new disarma-
ment organization is to be put
within the State Department
and not made part of the
Presidents executive Offices.
Some administration officials
are understood to have objected
to this, believing it should be
attached to the White House
for prestige purposes.
But officials said Secretary
of State Herter felt the new

group should report directly to
him less it blur his respon-
sibllities as daily operating
chief of foreign policy.
Mr.. Herter's views un-
doubtedly were influenced by
the feud between the late Sec
retary of States Dulles and
Harold Stassen when Mr.. Stas-
sen was White House disarma-
ment chief two years ago.
Mr.. Dulles eventually sue
ceeded in bringing Mr.. Stassen's
organization within the State
Department to keep a closer
check on his activities. But
ever since Mr.. Stassen left, the
disarmament organization has
fallen off in Importance.
The administration is re-
ported trying to come up with
a glamorous title for the new
disarmament organization to
demonstrate it will be more
than just another State De-
partment Office or division.
This extra recognition, it is
felt, also is necessary to at
tract the high-caliber chief that
administration leaders want.
Some authorities believe that
a person with an international
standing is needed for the task,
one who will command BIZ
partisan support at home.
The new disarmament chief
could lead American negotia-
tors If he chose, but some Off.

Negroes Ignore

JOHANNESBURG. April 10
(AP).-The one-week strike
called by the outlawed African
National Congress to protest
the white governments strict
racial laws failed to achieve
its aim today.
Police in all major cities of
South Africa reported that Ne
groes showed up in normal
numbers and without him
drance by alleged intimidators.
No major violence was re-
ported. The only police action
announced at noon was a raid
on an African settlement near
the Indian Ocean city of Port
Elizabeth, where police rounded
up "undesirables," questioned
200 Negroes and detained many
Of them.
In Johannesburg, South At
rica's largest city, buses and
trains from Negro settlements
were crowded with workers.
Reports from Cape Town,
Durham and elsewhere said the
situation was quiet there also
and Negroes were streaming to
work.
Troops were standing by at
such previous trouble spots as
the Nyanga and Langa town
ships near Cape Town and
Cato Manor near Durham. Po-
lice riot cars cruised slowly
among the houses but found no
response to the strike call.
Strong Patrols on Duty
Powerful police and white
civilian defense forces, sup
ported by soldiers in armored
cars, patrolled settlements sur
rounding johannesburg on the
lookout for agitators who
might try to prevent Negroes
from going to work, and to
keep them from retaliating

National Forests
Receipts Reach
Record Levels

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-More than
$148 million was received from the
sale and use of the many resources
on lands administered by the Forest
Service during fiscal year 1860, the
u. S. Department of Agriculture an
nounced.
Receipts from timber sales, graz
ing permits, and other fees on ma
tional forests, national grasslands,
and land utilization projects totaled
a record $148,212,472, as compared
to 1924, O66,792 collected during fis-
cal 1859. Of this years total, $146,-
348,136 came from national forest
lands covering 181 million acres. The
remaining $1,864,336 was collected
from, 40 million marginal and sub
marginal acres purchased in the
1905 and since rehabilitated.
More than 04.6 per cent of the re-
ceipts@$14O, 5,842 were from
timber cut in 1860. Last year timber
and forest products brought in $780,
Under multiple-use management
of it's lands USDA's Forest Service
also collected $4,5O7,956 from graz
ing fees; $1,118,769 from recreation
uses; $136,412 from power uses;
81, 919,257 from mineral leases and
permits; $51,181 from crops, hay
and sale of seed; and $353,051 from
other special land uses.
AS a result of the greater Forest
Service income, counties where ma
tional forests and other lands are
located will receive larger payments,
since 25 per cent of receipts is paid
to states for roads and schools within
such counties. The. remainder goes
into the federal treasury.

Massachusetts Law
Hits at Importation
Of Strikebreakers

BOSTON, (PAD-The State of
Massachusetts has taken a significant
step toward controlling imported
strikebreakers.
Gov. Foster Furcolo has signed into
law measure passed overwhelming
ly by both branches of the Massachu-
sets legislature which denounces the
use of strikebreakers as leading to
industrial strife and violence"
The measure requires that out-of-
state strikebreakers and those who
sell their services register with the
state. Maximum penalty for failure
to file under the new law is $500
fine for the first offense, and $4,000
for subsequent offenses.
The bill, while it had strong labor
backing, still falls short of the pro-
posals urged by the AFL-CIO news
paper unions which have opened a
major drive to secure legislation in
each state which would actually ban
the importation of strikebreakers.
