Matter of PRESTIGE

The spontaneous. blood
tingling homage and ap-
plauSe rendered unto the
American flag and to the
American athletes at the
Olympics' opening spoke VOL
umeS on what the world
really believes about the
United States.
These athletes from round
the world paying homage to
our ideals and achievements
must have thrilled the whole
Western world everywhere as
much as it did America.
1presume Senator Kennedy
would have been proud to
have been there and to have
personally FABRICATED in the
thrilling, awe-inspiring
scene.
1t was a great lesson! Let
no one belittle the standing
or prestige of the United
States, as Mr.. Kennedy did
in his Alexandria speech
delivered as it happened on
the very opening day of the
Oylmpics-for it is very apt
to boomerang as did that
speech.

BIeocherite's Plea
Don Paul.

Over in Rome, the Olympic
Games are under way. Right
here in our own front yard,
the Senators (the athletic
oneS) are staging whale of
a fight for a first division
berth. All of this is shaping
up as another conf1ict-of-
interest case-who is going
to get top billing on the
sports page?
We bleacherites realize that
many people have great in
terest in PAGERS, trotters,
runners and jumpers - and
we respect their childish
foibles. We are even willing
to read accounts of Olym-
plan achievements by Navy
oarsmen. bulky females. shot
putters and hammer throw
ers. But please don't let your
overseas reporting get out of
hand. Just give our own
heroic musclemen equal space
and we'll be happy.

Fat sea level. The commission
presented the new system to
the French National Assem-

English system of feet,
pounds, ETC., which had
rather haphazard develop

THE PASSING SCENE
Nixon's Injury Hurts His Campaign
By WILLIAM S. WHITE

tionable that having any kina
of lead at any time is bad for
any political party-unless,
Of course, that lead should
cause it to sit back and take
it easy. In Mr.. Nixon's case
there never was the slightest
danger of any such COM
placence. For the funda-
mental truth is that there is
still in this country a larger
number of more-or-less ha-
bitual Democrats than more
or-less habitual Republicans.
The unchanging necessity
for the Nixon forces is to
keep this forever in mind.
The central problem is un-
alterable. 1t is to keep pound
ing at the independent voters
and the dissatisfied Demo-
Gratis; the regular Republic
cans will take care of them
selves. And the most useful
counter-tactic open to the
Democrats has always been
and still remains-the argu-
ment that nixon can't win"
Any and every indication,
therefore, that Mr.. Nixon is
ahead is particularly good
and never bad-for the Re-
publicanS for the simple
reason that they start from
behind anyhow.
Democrats May Benefit
So, if the hiatus now forced
upon Mr.. Nixon can be used
by Senator Kennedy to domi-
nate the headlines, some net
Democratic gain is all but
inevitable.
But if Mr.. Nixon's people
are philosophic. as they are,
the Vice President himself
is even more so. A remark
ably tatalistic politician, he
throws off bad situations with
an automatic shrug and sets
out to find some form of SAL
wage IN them. Thus he is
now using his time at Walter
Reed Hospital here to put
more work into future
speeches while simply forget
ting the speeches he has had
to cancel.
He is keeping in constant
touch with his staff by tele-
phone and through visits
from staff members. CThe
only restriction on him is that
he keep off his feet0 He is
using a compulsory vacation
to think ana plan more than
otherwise he could have done.
There is no idleness in the
hospital room at Walter Reed.
And, so far as one can tell,
there is no gloom.

Blue Laws

Millions of people have lost
their freedom because of the
lnaction of good men! With
this in mind I wish to con-
gratulate you for your sound
Judgment in the article en-
titled Jewish Groups Join in
Test OF Blue Laws" which
appeared in your issue of
August Is. 1t was, indeed,
courageous of you to have
printed it because of your
knowledge there is a wide
spread program on by bigots
TO control religious thinking
or to inf1ict religious beliefs
on the general public.
1 am a native-born Protes-
tant and dearly love my
country, and am entirely sat-
lsf1ed with the rights and
privileges granted to me un-
der our form of government
and I shall always exert NV
efforts to preserving the basic
things of our way of life,
Hence I am especially glad to
learn of the efforts of Jewish
groups to counteract or op-
pose the efforts of religious
blgots to control the Sunday
activities of those not in their
group. I sometimes think
hungry" or shyster lawyers
promote Sunday closing laws
knowing full well there are
adherents of this or that Or
thodox religion with funds
available to employ them re-
gardless Of the obvious viola
ton of the Constitution.
Throughout history religious
zealots have been mighty
cruel and thoroughly un-
Christian in their attitudes.
Sunday closing laws are
merely a subterfuge to foist
their beliefs on others, and
we want none of that in this
country.

Abuse of Free Speech

1t is not always easy to draw the
line between free speech which is
protected by the First Amendment, and
speech which abuses this fundamental
right-and which, therefore, should be
excluded from the shelter of the Con-
stitution George Lincoln Rockwell has
raised this issue, and it will be finally
decided, we suppose, by the appellate
courts.
Two lower courts, however, now
have ruled against the leader of the
American Nazi Party. Rockwell has been
found guilty of disorderly conduct in

and presumably it is in no
way related to the aurora
borealiS.
This has just been report
ed by the International Geo.
physical Year committee of
the National Academy of
Sciences, following analysis
of the records Of a rocket
probe fired from a ships deck
in Davis Strait, between
Greenland and the Arctic
coast of Canada.
Made 200 Measurements
This is the third great cur
rent circling around the
earth in the extreme upper
limits of the atmosphere.
Previously reported have
been the equatorial jet," fol-
lowing very roughly the cir
Gle of the Equator, and the
Antarctic current.
The rocket was fired at an
altitude of about IS miles
from a balloon sent up from
the USS Plymouth Rock and
reached a maximum altitude
Of about rs miles, according
to the report furnished by
DR.. Laurence j. Cahill, jr., of
the University Of New Hamp-
shire who participated in the
experiment. 1t carried a mag
netometer, instrument for de-
terminlng magnetic varia-
tionS, which made more than
200 measurements during the
flight.
Paths of the ascent and
descent of the rocket were
several miles apart but the
same phenomena appeared
on both legs of the fight.
This indicated that the cur
rent was at least several miles
wide. This distinguished it
from smaller currents which
could be associated with the
auroraS.

the Federation of Mali and
is composed of two native,
"nationalistic" factions-the
Senegalese and the Soudan-
eSe.
Therein lies the difference.
Mr.. Keita, who was pictured
in your item, should be named
the acting president of the
Soudan and not the Sudan,
an independent nation almost
1000 miles from the scene of
the current Mali disturbance.
The point presented is ad-
mittedly a small one. How
ever. with the vast continent
of Africa becoming more and
more the" boiling spot of

should more and more appre-
ciate its geography, back

The first of those odd and
wholly unforeseeable breaks
that will sooner or later come
in any presidential campaign
has now befallen-and quite
early in the game. The I'M
lucky fellow this time is the
Republican candidate, Rich
ard M. Nixon.
Mr.. Nixon'S troublesome
but apparently not dangerous
or permanent-knee injury
is a bit of bad news for the
Republicans. It comes at a
time when their show was
moving at a brisker pace
than that of the Democratic
ticket of Senators Kennedy
and Johnson.
1t takes Mr.. Nixon off the
campaign trail for possibly
two full weeks. 1t is far from
a fatally damaging thing, of
course. But there is no hid
ing-and Mr.. Nixon's coolly
objective and closest cam
paign associates do not try
to hide-that valuable time
is going to be irrecoverably
lost on their side Of the fight.
They are frankly facing this
fact.
Momentum Important
One of the especially frus-
trating points about it all to
the Nixon people is that they
had genuinely believed his
momentum was steadily 60
ing up and that Senator
Kennedy's was correspond
tngly going down. Now, two
weeks out Of action at the
end Of summer and the be-
ginning Of fall will surely
work no catastrophe. All the
same, momentum is undeni-
ably important in any cam
paign, even though late mo-
mentum is far more useful
than the early kind.
The com lent of the
G. o. P. national chairman,
Senator Thruston Morton of
Kentucky, that maybe it was
all for the best requires some
translation. Its real meaning
is that a partisan is taking
the natural course of putting
the best face possible on Mr.
Nixon's temporary disability
Senator Morton's line is
that perhaps the Republican
campaign was showing "a
little early foot Ken,
tuckian horSe-racing term tc
suggest that Mr.. Nixon was
getting a little too far ahead
a little too soon. This is the
kind of subtlety that politi.
clans occasionally get off.
1t is, however, highly ques.

Cemetery Expansion


AS chairman of the Ameri-
can Legion Department of
Virginia Special Committee
for the Enlargement of Arl-
ington National Cemetery, I
wish to express my apprecia-
ton and the appreciation of
the American Legion for your
very excellent editorial enti-
tied Back Where it Belongs"
Your explanation regard
ing the area which is tempo
rarily being used as the South
Post of Fort Myer is most
informative and timely.
The acute shortage of
course does continue to exist,
and the return of the lands
OF the South Post of Fort
Myer to the cemetery has al
ways been taken into account
in making our estimates of
the time remaining in which
veterans may continue to be
honored by burial in Arling-
ton Cemetery.
Your editorial is completely
correct-it is still just as ur-
gent and necessary as ever
that the land to the north of
the present cemetery, the
NeviuS tract. be added to the
cemetery. There is not much
land that can actually be
added, and we feel this use
should certainly be made of
such Government land as is
still available for this purpose.
We hope that it soon will
be possible for legislation to
be adopted which will as
sure that Arlington National
Cemetery will not be closed
to further burials of veterans
any earlier than is actually
necessary.
Joseph L. Hodges, jr.,
Chairman, Department of
Virginia, the American
Legion, Special Committee
for the Enlargement of
. Arlington National
Cemetery.
Your recent editorial
Back where it belongs" was
very fine, referring to the
fact that what becam e
known as "the South Post of
Fort Myer" during the war,
had been reserved before
then. for Arlington National
Cemetery.
This acreage has been in
cluded when figuring approx
lmately how many more
years we can honor and show
appreciation to veterans who
have done so much for this
country.
Certainly any land left
available and adjacent to
the cemetery ethically, NOR
ally and (aesthetically, too)
should be added to the ceme-
terry.
The Nevius Tract was
bought for the veterans; for
a hospital. In all fairness.
since the land was bought for
the veterans it should be put
into Arlingt ton Cemetery
where it is so badly needed.
The Muskie bill, and other
Oils introduced, would put
this land to its best possible
use and preserve the rever-
ence around the cemetery by
keeping the Interior Depart
ment from erecting "monu-
ments" which are nothing
but hideously lighted COM
mercialized advertising for
private interests. Let the in
dustrial looking tower put up
over there, by Harry Thomp-
son, of Interior, be a remind
er of what monuments" can
do to destroy the beauty and
tranquility of open spaces
which we are rapidly losing
to fast-talking statesmen.

federalism

S@Ss ObsSsss
I note with interest your
editorial of August % in
which you report the mild
chiding of our two young
candidates by Norman
Thomas. AS the retired Dean
of Runners-Up to unsucceSs-
full presidential aspirants he
is certainly entitled to voice
a few Il told you sos."
Consider why it is that
many honest liberals are in
fact prophets when subject
ed to the test of time.
Certainly the abundance
resulting from the advances
since the industrial revolu-
ton" has been the work Of
men-not laws. In fact, law
has had a hard time keeping
pace with economic and So
cial developments. That the
products of this ever-increas-
ing development should have
wider and wider distribution
is only natural to our social
structure.
If we will accept this pre-
mise, then we will indeed
scoff at political promises to
produce more. This is patent
ly impossible. You cannot
legislate into being either a
buShel of potatoes or a car
load of televiSions; but you
can legislate as to their dis
tribution. And herein lies
the point of this letter.
Although some may be
reluctant to agree, it seems
apparent that the overall
development of our American
economy in this century has
been accompanied by ever in
creasing liberalism. To my
mind this is as it should be!
However, the electorate must
decide for itself to what ex-
tent this should be, and on
what political level these de-
cisions should be made.
In our current thinking the
term federalism" is often
confused with liberalism"
and they are too often taken
to be synonymous. So it is
that Federal aid to schools,
hospitals, roads. housing, etc.
is all considered as the
largesse of a benevolent
Great White Father" by
those benefiting from it -
forgetting that it's their own
money coming back to them
minus the high cost of Fed
eral handling. To me this
seems plain stupid.
Numbers of younger men
G'm fifty -four myself who
are raising families in homes
they are buying in Maryland
and Virginia resent Federal
interference, by way of aid
or otherwise, in the things
they consider close to home
and schools, roads, housing,
ETC., are on the list. These
young men want to be a part
of government - not Just on
election day, but every day.
And, incidentally, so do their
wives.
And so I should like to
admonish the candidates for
local office, for the State
legislatures and administra-
tive offices, and for Congress
to heed Norman Thomas
"heckling" that both our
parties are liberal to the ex-
tent OF finding their principal
inspiration in Socialist doc
trine. Support your party
that you must; but for your
own sake don't confuse lib
eralism" and federalism"

The Navy has just set up
side by side two machine
brains that talk with each
other.
Each has a mind of its
own. They disagree. The
arguments, however, always
are on a high level and on
profound subjects. Both ma
chimes are gentlemen" They
haven't yet reached the point
OF cuSSing each other out.
They probably represent
the .fartheSt development
yet achieved in electronic
minds, and representatives of
scientific organizations and
industries from all over the
country have come to Wash
ington to watch them in op-
Grafton.
They do not, according to
an Office of Naval Research
report, just give set responses
which have been built into
their electronic circuits. They
vary these responses accord
ing to circumstances and the
extent of the diSagreements
they have reached.
Interpreter Needed
The arguments, however,
must be carried on through
a third "electronic person" a
professional interpreter. The
machines themselves talk in
different languages. The in
terpreter is the key to the
whole systematic So-called
IA computer language trans
lator designed under naval
sponsorship by the Electronic
Engineering Co. of Santa Ana,
Calf.
This makes it possible, says
the Navy report, "for the two
machines to talk to each
other in a common electronic
mathematical language"
Both machines are installed
at the Navy'S David Taylor
Applied Mathematics Labora-
tory in Washington. One is
an IBM computer, developed
for solving intricate engi-
neering problems. The other
is a Remington-Rand Univac
computer, designed for the
same purpose. They may not
always reach the same solu-
tionS.
says the Navy report: The
IA enables them to exchange
mathematic data freely or
to process new scientific data.
1t translates Univac data into
1BM data or vice verSa-and
it will translate either analog
or binary data from hydro
chemical and structural tests
and spectrum analysis data
into either of the two COM
puter formats. 1t performs
13 electronic data transla-
tions."
Operation of the system,
according to Admiral E. A.
Wright, commanding officer
of the laboratory, has been
carefully observed by elec-
tronic data specialists from
the National Academy of Sci
enceS, the Census Bureau,
Army Map Service, Woods
Hole Oceanographic Institu-
