Let's Practice 1t

In this time of threat to our nation
al survival, 1t Is a good thing to preach
the doctrine of political responsibility.
1t would be even better to practice it.
Speaking in Chicago last week,
Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson said
responsibility" is the issue in this 1860
election year. Partisans he said, must
look to the winning of the contest with
Soviet Russia more than to the winning
OF the struggles between themselves"
He added: "ReSponsibility-and only re-
sponstbility-will win, should win, and
must win"
This is an admirable preachment.
But we do not think that Senator john
son, generally a responsible man, was
practicing it two days later when he
said: 1--WE certainly cannot afford to
stake the lives and the future Of ITS
million Americans on the ability of some
officials to read Nikita Khrushchev's
mind"
This is not responsible statement
because, especially in its implications,
1t is not based on fact. The lives of the
American people are not being staked
on anyone'S ability "to read Nikita
Khrushchev'S mind" Senator Johnson
must know that this is true, and in any
event he could readily have ascertained
the facts before issuing his statement.
What is really teapot tempest be-
gan last week when Defense Secretary
Gates, in an inept press conference per-
formance, permitted the impression to
go out that our intelligence estimates
now are based on an appraisal of Rus
sian intent as distinguished from Russian
capability-to produce ICBMs, for ex-
ample. Mr.. Gates did not say this him
self, but the phrasing of questions put
to him suggested it, and he failed to
clear up the matter
The result was a rash of alarmist
news stories and comment, based on a
misunderstanding. The facts, as this
newspaper has been able to ascertain
them, are that our intelligence opera
tionS are not now based exclusively on
an estimate of Russian capability. If
this was the case at one time, it is no
longer so. Instead, we undertake to
estimate what the Soviet Union is
capable of doing, what it actually is do
ing, what its alternative courses of action
are and which courses are the most and
also the least likely for it to take. Once
all of this information has been assem-
bled and charted, we plan our defenses
accordingly.
This strikes us as being a reasonable
and sensible approach. But even If it
is not the best approach, it cannot
justify any suggestion that planning for
the defense of the United States is based
solely on study of crystal balls and
mind reading.
The evil in such suggestions does
not lie in the prospect that the Russians
will be encouraged to believe that we are
easy pickings. Mr. KhruShchev knows
that our military intelligence estimates
and plans are not based on attempts to
read his mind But the American people
may not know this, and the danger is
that distortion and Misrepresentation
will, without reason, shake their faith
In our defense establishment
Any such result could only be preju-
dicial to the United States. Responsible
men of whatever political faith will
preach against it-and they will practice
what they preach

1nere Is O titanic, myS-
terious, super-powerful radio
station" on Jupiter, the solar
systems giant planet.
About a third Of the time
1t sends noise broadcasts
millions of miles into space,
1t is being observed con-
stantly by radio astronomers
of the Carnegie Institution of
Washington. Thus far little
progress has been made in
solving the mystery.
The invisible "broadcaster''
is the planet itself. 1t may
be telling the rest Of Crea-
ton a lot about itself, but
as yet nobody on earth can
translate the language.
Clues to Temperatures
Radio waves are emitted
from the surfaces of all the
planets, as they are from any
solid body whose molecules
are in motion-that is, at
any temperature above abso-
lutte zero. The wavelengths
and strength Of the ennis
sions give interpretable clues
to a celestial body's tempera-
ture. The broadcasts from
Jupiter with very long wave
lengths, 18 and 90 mega
cycles. are such as might
come from an extremely hot
spot on the surface. But,
it was explained, at a
University of Maryland COL
loquium. it would have to be
a very "hot spot" indeed with
a temperature of several
million degrees. This is
obviously quite absurd. The
actual temperature of the
observable disk Of Jupiter is
between $50 and 200 degrees
above absolute Zero-vastly
lower than ever observed in
nature on earth-as would be
expected from the distance
Of about 500,000,000 miles
from the sun. This is more
than five times the distance
Of the earth. The tempera-
ture of Jupiter, like all the
rest of the solar system. is
almost entirely due to the
sun.
The emissions also might
be explained by an electronic
disturbance Of some sort in
the planets high atmosphere,
except for the fact that the
source is small and quite
specifically located and does
not rotate at the same rates
as the atmosphere. The
Jovian atmosphere, the Car
negie scientists have found,
actually has two rates of ro-
tation-one close to the equa-
tor which produces a day of
nine hours and so minutes
and one for the rest of the
atmosphere with a day
about five minutes longer.
The hot spot appears to have
a still longer period.
Optically, astronomers ex-
plain. it is impossible to see
the solid surface of the
planet. One sees only the
cloud surface of the high
atmosphere. The radio trans
mitting area, for which there
is no corresponding visual
body or feature of any kind,
apparently is fixed in some
way on the solid surface, but
does not penetrate above the
high cloud layers.
The strange radio source

ignation.
"Mr. McGrath said he re-
leased the letter at this time
because he feels the public is
entitled to know the circum-
stances of his resignation.
In longhand, the letter said:

telling them specifically about
the instances Of rigging he said
he himself knew? When asked
to get specific. he ducked.
5. Why did he even hold a
news conference after making
his TV statement If he didn't
want to answer reporters ques-
tions? He tried to brush aside
practically everything asked
him.
Only one thing came through
clearly. He wanted to stop
Senator Kennedy in the most
sensational way he could think
Of: A Nationwide broadcast
on TV.
But Mr.. Truman showed
amazing inconsistency on what
seemed to be his main opposi-
ton to Senator Kennedy: The
Senator's age. Senator Ken
nedy is 43. Mr.. Truman listed
a number of Democrats he con-
sidered worthy of consideration
for the party's presidential
nomination.
But among them, one was
only a year older than Senator
Kennedy while one was a year
younger. The two men, both
from Minnesota, were Senator
Mccarthy, A, and Gov. Orville

INTERPRETIVE REPORT

manner in which some of the
hackers" of Senator Kennedy
have acted although he more
or less abSolved Senator Ken
nedy himself from taking part
in whatever they are supposed
to have done.
The point is: Mr.. Truman
never actually said what the
Kennedy forces did.
At the news conference which
followed the statement a re-
porter asked Mr.. Truman to
get down to cases and say
what you have in mind" Mr..
Truman avoided a direct reply
by saying the answer was in
his prepared statement, al
though it wasn't.
This writer, watching the
news conference on TV, thought
the reporters were so gentle
that they failed to ask some
obvious questions which could
have been aimed at Mr.. Tru-
man.
Since the former President
said he felt compelled Ito do
whatever I can to alert the
Los Angeles convention" he
could have been asked:
/. Why resign as a delegate?
Having alerted the convention
with his Saturday statement,
why didn't he, if he felt so
strongly about it, then go to
the convention as a delegate
and fight what he didn't like?
2. Wasn't this the same as
telling the other delegates to
make a fight which he wasn't
willing to go to Los Angeles to
make himself?
3. What was resigning as a
delegate going to accomplish
except to deprive the conven-
ton of Mr.. Truman?

Truman Too Vague
For Direct Answers
BY JAMES MARROW
Asaociated Press stan Writer

II was a strange perform
ance.
Former President Trum a n
got headlines in a sensational
way-by implying next weeks
Democratic convention is
rigged-but there are still some
unanswered questions about
Mr.. Truman himself.
He implied - although Mr..
Truman is a man who always
prided himself on his frankness
that the forces behind Sena-
tor Kennedy's presidential am
bitions had the convention
fixed"
But he did it only by in
nuendo. He never said it fatty.
He never got specific. He never
gave details, and although he
said he knew first-hand of some
instances, he never gave ex-
amples.
This lack of example was one
Of the things Senator Kennedy
complained of yesterday when,
in a Nationwide answer on TV,
he pledged himself to a nom
rugged, open convention.
This is what Mr.. Truman did
in his own TV broadcast Sat-
urday:
He said he had resigned as a
delegate to the convention be-
cause he had no desire to be a
party to proceedings that are
taking on the aspects of a pre-
arranged affair" He went on:
"a convention which is con-
trolled in advance by one group
and it's candidate leaves the
delegates no opportunity for
q democratic choice and re-
duces the convention to a
mockery."
After a few more paragraphs
in the prepared statement which
he read before the cameras Mr.
Truman, without making a di-
rect link between the alleged
rigging and the Kenn e d y
forces, said:
