Part of it read:
Charleston IS. c. is the
only Navy port in the world
where the 380-foot George
Washington, a nuclear-
powered submarine, which
was commissioned December
80, 1859, can be loaded with
her capacity of nuclear-
armed Polaris missiles, each

ing, assembly, and service for
the missiles are handled at
the Charleston Naval Weap-
onS annex, which was acti-
waited April / and which has
caused Charleston to be
nicknamed The War Deter
rent Capital of the World.
1t is difficult to believe it
is true that nowhere else in
the world can the PolariS
submarine take on its full
capacity of weapons. If so, it
cannot be more than tempo
rarily accurate. The Navy is
not unintelligent. Having al

Of the heavy and medium

already is being transformed
into units of great mobility
provided with its own nuclear
striking force.
Air Force plans include use
of long-range missiles on rail
lines. These enable them to
become nonstationery targets.
The enemy will be able to
take aim at fixed bases. But
rail bases, even if restricted
by destruction of large areas
of track, would still be able
to remain relatively mobile.
The Navy has the best fu-
ture of all. Its bases" are
under water. They, too, are
amazingly mobile. Th cir
cruising range is unlimited.
The new Lafayette class has
the length and tonnage of
many freighters now in serv-

control the Atlantic. Until
an enemy wrests this from
us, he cannot win the final
battle.

A far-reaching precedent
in world affairs is being es-
tablished in the Congo. An
international military force
is actually being ordered to
intervene within an inde-
pendent country to establish
law and order"
The reason given is that
"the complete restoration OF
law and order in the Repub-
lie of the Congo would ef-
fectively contribute to the
maintenance of international
peace and security"
That's the language of the
July % resolution of the
Security Council of the
United Nations. which has
just been reaffirmed by the
same council.
But if this can be done in
the Congo, why can't it be
applied also in other coun-
tries? Today Soviet troops
occupy Hungary. Poland,
CzechoSlovakia. Bulgaria,
Romania, East Germany and
other captive states. Soviet
troops continue to impose
their tyrannical power and
to interfere with freedom of
speech, freedom of the press
and free elections by the peo-
Piles of those countries.
If the United Nations is to
be the policeman of the world.
it has a job cut out for it in
Eastern Europe. The Security
Council insists in the resolu-
ton, adopted by a 9 to 0
vote Monday night, that the
United Nations forces will
not be a party to or in any
way intervene in or be used
to influence the outcome OF
any internal conflict, con-
Stitutional or otherwise"

publish for all the world to
see a statement that in only
one place in the world can the
Polaris submarines take on a
full load of missiles. If this
really were true, it is some
thing an intelligence agent
would risk his life to learn.
To be able to hear it gratis on
radio and television, and to
see it in newspapers for five
cents, cause enemy agents
considerable pain and dis
comfort.
They are sure it must be a
piece of deception deliber-
ately made public to confuse
and deceive. No nation, they
reason, would be so naive as
freely to reveal such vital
knowledge. But they dutifully
send the information to head
quarters, because they have
learned we really do such
things. They would much pre-
fer we didn't. 1t takes much
of the pleasure out of spy
ing In America, about all
agents need to do is monitor
TV and radio and clip papers
and magazines.
This is our way of doing
things. Our detailed maps are
available. The sites of our
missile launchings are indi-
Gated on most maps and if
not, are fully described in
trade journals devoted to
aviation and missiles. In
Russia, however, maps are

no evidence that any plans
are being made to secure re-
dress for the wrongs done the
foreigners who were attacked.
At least two of them were
Americans.
Instead, the emphasis has
been placed on the with
drawal of the Belgian troops.
Once this demand is complied
with by the Belgians, The
United Nations forces are sup
posed to maintain order. They
will not be able. however. to
remain there indefinitely. In
the final analysis, the ques-
tion will be whether the
Congo government, whose

the disorders in the first place,
is capable of maintaining
order. It's Prime Minister has
been threatening to march
against the troops of the
neighboring province of Ka-
tanga.
This is certainly an Inter
nal" situation, even though
the United Nations chooses
to emphasize the interna-
tional aspects.
Maybe an international
force will some day have to
enter Cuba to do similar job
of protection. The Organi-
zation of American States
is at present the primary
agency for the task in the
Western Hemisphere and. for
the time being, it is assumed
the United Nations will re-
frain from intervention there.
United Nations forces have
been used heretofore to try
to squelch a war between
two parts of a given country.

was the basis of the entry Of
United Nations forces in
Korea in the summer of 1850.

UsobIe Defense Funds
Total $621.3 Million
By RICHARD FRYKLUND
Star Staf Writer

After all the argument recrmnaton between Senator
Johnson and administration defense spending they
up only about cent from on the
current budget total.
Defense Secretary told Senate Majority Leader
johnson yesterday that the President had decided to spend
Evening star., 1960-08-10

about half the extra money
voted by Congress earlier this
year for defense projects. The
half still held by the admin
istration for a rainier day
which Senator Johnson thinks
should be spent now-is about
one per cent of the total money
voted by Congress.
The new spending announced
Yesterday will be enough, how
ever, to give the next admin
istration a good head start on
an improved defense-if the
recent statements of the two
presidential candidates do re-
suit in a bigger defense pro-
gram.
To Use S476 Million
AS of July 7, the adminiStra-
ton had laid aside $l,047 ,633,-
600 voted by Congress this year
for a variety of military prof.
ects not requested by the ad-
ministration. Yesterday Mr..
Gates said in answer to letter
of inquiry from Senator john
son that he has now decided to
use $476,331,OOO of that total.
ST. $571,3O2,OOO extra ap-
proved by Congress this year
remains unused in this par
ticular kitty. There is another
$5O-million kitty for Air Force
missiles laid aside by the ad:.
ministration, but this is money
voted a year ago. This item
explains Senator Johnson's &C
cusation that the administra-
ton is "impounding" $621,-
100000.
An official Defense Depart
ment spokesman pointed out,
incidentally, that the remaining
extra money is not "impound-
ed" but is specified in the new
department financial plan as
available for future require
ments." 1t still may be spent.
The new decision by the
President gives a boost to some
of the key weapons of the fu=
ture-Polaris submarines. BIO
superbombers, the Samos spy
satellite, the new Army heavy
tank and jet cargo planes. 1t
also steps up plans for a stand
by airborne alert.
Generates Expenses
These new expenditures will
generate more. More men, fuel,
ETC., will be needed to carry
out the accelerated programs.
The President will have to re-
turn to Congress next year to
ask for more maintenance
and operation" funds.
Only about $3.50 million of
the new spending will come
during the current fiscal year.
In other words, the Presidents
current budget estimate will
be changed only by this
amount, plus the now unknown
maintenance and operation in
crease. The rest of the new
spending will be felt over sew
eral coming years.
What is the reason for the
change in the Presidents
mind? Capitol Hill Democrats
say it is politics-the impact of
the Democratic and Republican
platforms. The Pentagon says
this is not so.
Defense spokeSmen point out
that Gen. Nathan F. TWining,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, told the Senate Ap-
propriations Committee May
18-before the conventions
that the chiefs were reviewing
their spending estimates. The
review is over, says the admin
istration, and revisions are in
order.

A quarter-million dollar filly

worlds richest race of its kind.
The series is the Distaff Big

Royal Native, already heroine
of six major stakes this year,
was purchased last March by
Miami Beach sportsman Mac
Donald from P. L. Grissom for

for Macdonald, and the first
$5l ,4l0 for Grissom.
