Education in Cuba

IT American supporters of the Castro
revolution in Cuba are not already dis
enchanted with the brand of democracy
now prevailing there, the instructions
just issued to the islands schoolteachers
ought to do the trick. The type of
academic freedom proclaimed by Fidel
CaStroS Education Minister, Armando
Hart, leaves the teachers free to do one
thing: Transmit revolutionary thinking
to their students" Said Mr.. Hart in a
television address: There is no room
for teachers who are opposed to politics
in the schools e. A teacher must be
in agreement with the social movement
and historical movement (of the Castro
revolution) A teacher who does not
feel the Cuban revolution has no worth
as a teacher"
All of which is reminiscent of the
sort of education which the younger
generation is getting in many other
so-called "democracies"-th peoples
democracies" of the Communists.

Then, just as Encouragement was

thought struck us. After all, this great
land of ours is blessed with more than
one 'superman. If Senator Kennedy,
through some evil mischance, should fall
by the wayside, we would still have at
hand such StalwartS as MesSrS. Nixon,
Humphrey, Symington, Johnson and,
perhaps, Stevenson. 1t was comforting

probability, none of these suffers from
restricted concept of the presidency.

To Help Save Lives

Most of the new airlinerS now come
devices, in the form of airborne radar
sets. There has been no requirement in
the past, however, for installation Of
the electronic scanning instruments in
aircraft already operating as CONNER
Cial carriers. But the rules have been
changed. In the future airborne radar
will be mandatory on passenger air
liners This will involve a considerable
expenditure of funds by the airlineS-
but the dollars spent may save a good
many lives.
In order to ease the impact of the
new regulation on the aviation industry,
the Federal Aviation Agency has set up
a schedule for the installations. All Jets
and jet-prop craft have been given until
July l to meet the requirement. The
nonjet airlinerS will have until next
January l to comply. Certain other
types of pasSenger-carrying planes will
be given two years in which to install
the devices. Pilots generally are in favor
of the plan. They have learned by ex-
perience that local disturbances" often
develop in areas where forecasts indi-
Gated good flying weather. With a radar
screen available in the cockpit, they
will be able to keep tab on thunder
storms or other dangerous weather con-
ditionS in their path. The flying public,
too, will welcome this additional aviation
safeguard.

Break in De GouIIe Ranks

Considerably more than an intra-
cabinet clash on economic philosophy
is involved in the withdrawal of Antoine
Pinay as Finance Minister in the French
government of President de Gaulle. AS
former Premier and Foreign Minister,
Mr.. Pinay has had close acquaintance
with the full range of policy problems
of postwar government in France. His
departure at this time, the first major
break in the top echelon of the De Gaulle
ranks, reflects a deep and unconcealed
disagreement on several important
issues.
Mr.. Pinay has, for example, been
a consistent champion of the North
Atlantic alliance. AS such, he has ex-
pressed miSgivingS at the De Gaulle
policies of recent monthS-oppoSition to
an integrated NATO command, with
drawal of part of the French Mediter-
ranean fleet from NATO operational
control, and refusal to allow Stockpiling
of American nuclear weapons at bases
in France. Along with many of his
right-wing Independent Party followers,
the Finance Minister has considered
General de Gaulle's preoccupation with
French prestige as overdone and po-
tentially harmful to Western harmony.
And on personal basis, Mr.. Pinay and
his party associates have little liking
for Premier Michel Debre, most infiu-
entail of the De Gaulle advisers.
In the economic field, the Finance
Minister has spelled out three precise
issues on which the cabinet position
offendS his principles of sound policy.
He has labeled as "Sovietization" a leg
iSlative proposal to permit labor to name
one-fourth of the directors of private
industry. He has described as nation
alization," or at least as something
approaching it, a plan for a state
controlled agency to manage the refining
and marketing of Sahara oil. And he
has criticized as grab bag" proposed
state bank to finance modernization of
industry. For his part, Mr.. Pinay has
been the principal architect of fiscal
policies which have given France its
most stable economy since World War II.
Fortunately, although Mr.. Pinay
displayed considerable emotion in leav-
ing his post, he has emphasized that
he is leaving without bitterness or ram
cor. He will not, he said, lend any
encouragement to the possibility that
his Independent Party, holding 1l8 seats
in the 552-member National Assembly.
might withdraw support from the De
Gaulle government. Actually, the De
Gaulle strength is such that there is no
serious threat to his government. 1t
has, however, lost the services of an
able minister and, for the time being at
least, the Atlantic alliance has lost a
StaunCh friend in the highest councils
in Paris.

Russian TroopC Cut

There are those who will be skeptical
OF Mr.. KhruShchev'S announced plan to
cut down the size of the Soviet armed
forces. These people will be Skeptical
because, as they correctly state, there is
no way tor make sure that the Soviet
Premier actually does what he says he
intends to do.
For our part, we see no reason for
SkepticiSm. And we say this because.
from the Russian point of view, it makes
sense to reduce the number of men in
the Soviet armed forces by changing
over from manned bomberS to rockets.
and through similar devices.
Unless the Soviet Union is planning
to initiate a major land war, which it
almost certainly is not, why should it
want to retain some 3.6 million men in
It's armed forces? Why should it not
seriously intend to reduce this force by
one-third?
The major concern of the Soviet
Union, as also is true of the United
States, is to insure its national security.
II this can be done, and there is no
reason to doubt that it can be, with
missiles and other modern weapons, why
retain in the Red armed forces IL mil
lion men whose services are not re-
qulred? Their retention necessarily
would impose a severe drain on Soviet
resources, and in country that is short
Of manpower, IL million men can be
used more advantageouSly in industry
and on the farms.
These are among the reasons why.
IN our Judgment, Mr.. Khrushchev means
what he says. And it is for the same
or similar reasons, incidentally, that we
have been doing much the same thing
The total number Of men in a country'S
armed forces is no longer a decisive
measure of its military strength. With
the new weapons in hand, plus those
that are coming along, size in terms of
men under arms is losing its meaning
The real test is military power, and if
that can be achieved or maintained with
fewer men and more machines it makes
sense to move in that direction.
This, we think, is what Mr.. Khru-
Shchev is doing. He is not diSarming
in any sense of the term. He is merely
transferring men from his military
machine to his productive machine,
while maintaining Soviet military power
at high level. And if he believes, as
he has repeatedly stated, that the East
West struggle of the future will be a
struggle for economic superiority, this
is logical thing for him to do.
Furthermore, it seems to us that,
on balance, this is reaSSuring develop
ment. 1t is development, true enough,
which, if it minimizeS the threat of war,
also promises to strengthen the Soviet
Union in the economic struggle. But
if the West, with all of it's resources,
cannot or will not successfully meet this
challenge, it will have no one to blame
but itself.

Soviet Calling the Shots

When in April, 1858, the
United States Air Force
made test flights over barren
Arctic regions. far from
USSR borders. the Soviets
became extremely indignant
and excited. Soviet Foreign
Minister Gromyko declared
the flights were endangering
world peace, since by inad-
vertence or error they could
drop bombs over Soviet ter
ritory.
Today the Soviets are pre-
pairing to shoot intercon-
tinental missiles into an area
of the Pacific where shipping
and fishing are habitual. The
Soviet line says it is just a
peaceful and scientific ex-
plot. Are inadvertence and
miSfiring errors technically
impossible for the Soviets?
Cannot we be indignant, too?

Douqhboy Tops Troops in Starch
BY THOMAS r. HENRY

"The artillery, the cdudIry;
the engineers,
They couldn't lick the
infantry in a hundred
thousand years."
Apparently there was more
than idle boasting to the old
World War I song for "the
infantry is the elite of the
Army" Presumably without
any conscious selection the
best physical types gravitate
naturally towards the fight
ing foot soldiers. The gen.
erality applies to both en-
listed men and officers.
This is reported by the late
DR.. Ernest A. Hooten of
Harvard after an anthro-
pometric survey of about 50,-
900 soldiers. The report has
Just been released by the
Quartermaster Department.
The infantry, he reports,
"is deficient in all thin types
and in all sub-medium and
medium fat types when these
types have the lowest degree
of muscular development. 1t
also is noted for deficiencies
in fat and very fat types.
1T has excesses of the
strong, balanced short to
medium type and of other
types of superior and domi-
mating muscularity that are
neither emaciated nor obese.
1t runs to men Of light and
medium fatty development
with excellent muscular sys-
TENS and probably of superior
strength and agility"
Admittedly, DR.. Hooten
says, strenuous infantry
training has something to do
with it. but this cannot ac-
count for the difference if it
did not start with the right
kind of material.
Ground Forces Next
Next to the infantry in
physical status, his statistics
show, come the Army ground
forces in general, including
artillery. Contrasted with the
total for the Army, he re-
ports, the ground forces are
notable for superior muscular
development but it tends to
stress much more than the
infantry the heavier, fatter
types of good muscularity. 1t
is weak in balanced types.
THE total Army ground
force is deficient in every type
that could be called deficient
in muscular development and
also falls below par in every
fat or very fat type. It is
physically the most potent
major unit of the Army, re-
markable for it's profusion of
fine phySiques."
The Army service forces,
DR.. Hooten points out, show
deficiencies in all essentially
muscular types.
Naturally, the report points
out. one occasionally finds
fat doughboys and quarter
master soldiers who are ath-
letic champions. But in

In all candor, we must confess that
we came away from Senator Kennedy's
address to the National Press Club with
certain sense of encouragement. For
as he spelled out the specifications, no
ordinary man will do during the next
four years in the White House. What
we need is a Superman to end all super
men.
In his analysis of what the times
and the people demand" the MaSSa-
chuSetts Senator put it this way:
Today restricted concept of the
presidency is not enough. For beneath
today's surface gloss of peace and pros
perity are increasingly dangerous, I'M

lens that will inevitably explode to the
surface during the next four years Of

missile gap the rise of Communist China,
the despair of the under-developed
nations, the explosive situations in Berlin
and in the Formosa Strait, the deteriora-
ton Of NATO, the lack Of an arms control
agreement and all the domestic problems
of our farms, cities and schools
Senator Kennedy did not come right
out and say how he, if elected, would
deal with the missile gap, Communist
China, the despairing developed
nations, Berlin, etc. Presumably he felt
it would take too long to go into those
details But he did say, or at least he
intimated, that he had a concept of
the presidency which endowed him with
some special qualifications for taking on

nothing to do with Jewry as
such. Without assuming a
