NATIONS ECONOMY

Your October 20 editor
ial, Overlooked ISSUE" says:
strangely, the issue of gen.
uine fiscal responsibility has
not yet emerged as a major
topic in this campaign"
Your editorial, strangely,
omits mention of the fact
that the Eisenhower admin
lstration has completely
failed to win the debt goal
it set when it entered office.
On June 80, 1860 the public
debt totaled $285 billion, or
SIG billion more than the
debt on June 80, 1858. BY
contrast, the Truman ad-
ministration had a smaller
debt when it left Office than
when it entered it. The Eli
Senhower administration
promised balanced budgets:
instead it had more deficit
spending than the previous
administration. Yet the coun-
try was getting richer. If
increasing Government debt
means getting nearer to "in-
solvency" we indeed have a
puzzle here.
About 80 years of almost
continuous deficits have re-
suited in record levels of per-
sonal income, employment,
savings, accounts receivable
(the reverse side of consum-
er debt or credit, investment
and the earnings of indus
try, and in more people en-
ployed, more things made,
more families living better
than before" as Life Maga-
zine rhapsodized in 1858, and
it's still true. There is a dis
pute going on whether we are
growing fast enough, but
there is general agreement
that we have reached eco
nomic heights.
The prophets of doom say
this is false prosperity" and
make cracks about "insolven-
cy." In their view the United
States Government is a poor
credit risk and should bal
ance its books before doing
anything else. They tell us
that we cannot "afford" to
do what is necessary to make
us strong. They then turn
around and call prophets of
doom and gloom" those who
point to areas in which we
are not as strong as we
should be and can be. They
show an odd mixture of COM
placency and panic.
They object to what you
call "the implications of the
Democratic platform" that a
fully prosperous economy can
afford better schools, better
defense, better needed pub
lie services without detriment

One of the most urgent
tasks confronting the new
administration will be to clear
up a growing and potentially
dangerous confusion over the
suggestion Of an "independ-
ent" nuclear arm for NATO.
For a secret" proposal
which so far has not been
officially approved by the
American Government or
explained to other members
of NATO. it is curious how
many opinions pro and con
are being aired in public and
how many sweeping conclu-
sions are being reached.
In the French Assembly
former Premier Paul Reynaud
argues that a new NATO
force would be substituted for
the independent French nu-
clear deterrent sought by
Gen. de Gaulle. In the Penta-
gon certain high-ranking Of
f1cials are reported to be op-
posed to giving strategic"
nuclear weapons to NATO.
From Britain comes the sug-
gestion that the alliance
might be equipped with nu-
clear armed submarines
m nned by international
crews. At various places and
times the supreme NATO
commander, Gen. Lauris
Norstad, has spoken hope
fully of making NATO "the
fourth atomic power"
What all this talk goes back
to, 1t seems, is a section of a
report prepared for the State
Department in the course of
last year by Harvard Prof.
Robert R. Bowie. The subject
of the study was the develop
ment of NATO over the next
10 years. Although the report
itself has never been made
public-or approved by the
adminstration-the idea Of
an independent nuclear force
for NATO has been seized on
in every European capital as
its central recommendation.
The basic reasoning behind
the proposal is logical enough.
The point Of departure is the
glaring weakness in the pres
ent NATO military set up.
This quite simply is the un-
certainty under the present
American commitments of q
permanent shield of defensive
atomic weapons for Western
Europe.
Commitment Not Automatic
Weapons, to be sure, are
already in Europe under the
control of American forces
The whole defensive concept
of the alliance rests today or
the idea that these weapons
would be used from the be.
ginning of any attack on thu
NATO area. The defense
establishments of the indi.
vidual members of the ALI.
ance are being organized anc
developed in line with thil
basic assumption.
AS 1T stands, however, thu
American commitment o.
nuclear weapons is neither
automatic nor permanent
The weapons essential to the
defense of the NATO ares
would stay in Europe only a.
long as the American Gov.
ernment wants them to. They
could be withdrawn at AM
time by a simple executiv,
decision. A change of ad.

lions carefully. If any part is
not clear, don't start sewing
until it is fully understood.
Notice where notches occur
and which pattern jennings
they indicate. Make sure that
the meaning of all pattern
markings is known. If some
of these markings will not be
used, this should be indicated
also.
Now is a good time, too, to
review finishing details and to
decide which of the various
ways of finishing will be
used. Should seams be pinked,
bound, or overcast? What
sort of hem and buttonholes
will be used? If instructions
for finishing details are not
included on the pattern guide,
an inexpensive sewing book
available at most notions
counters will prove a great
aid. In fact, these sewing
books are a good investment,
for the instructions are usu-
ally accompanied by diagrams
and include much information
of value to any home seam

Auto Makers Foresee
Solution to Gas Fumes

DETROIT (AP).-The auto
mobile industry has spent
about one million dollars a
year for the past six years in
an effort to beat the problem
of auto fumes.
Several workable solutions
are in the not too distant
future. They will be relatively
expensive - in the 500 plus
range for each car at the start.
Certain people, especially air
pollution authorities In South
ern California, don't think the
auto industry has been trying
hard enough. They belittle the
million dollar expenditure.
Harry A. Williams, managing
director of the Automobile Man.
ufacturers Association, which
co-ordinates the research prof.
ects, says: Although we've
grown used to glib talk Of gov
ernment billions. q million dol
lars a year spent on one prob
lem by one industry is still q
substantial outlay"
Southern California officials
are convinced that auto exhaust
contributes greatly to their
smog problem.
Some Detroit research SCI
entists privately express doubt
that auto exhaust is as promi-
nent a factor in smog as the
CalifornianS believe.
The ANA researchers told
the California Assembly in the
spring Of 1859 that another
year should bring a workable
unit that would reduce by
about 10 per cent the un-
Durned nydrOcarDOnS IN auto
exhaust.
Three different types Of units
have been developed. One is a
low temperature catalytic con-
verter. This unit runs the auto
exhaust throug a catalyst at
relatively low temperatures
and converts the hydrocarbons
to other forms of gases.
Another unit is a high tenn
perature catalytic converter.
This also works on carbon
monoxide fumes present in the
exhaust.

TURNPIKE RECORD

Despite Fast Speed

CHICAGO (AP).-Take the

That's the National Safety
Councils formula for safety
when you travel.
Its a formula supported by
solid facts-facts that add up
to virtual assurance of a safer
trip for motorists who drive
the superhighways," the coun-
Gil says.
The superhighWays we're

Though a record 310 persons
lost their lives on highways
throughout the Nation, on l6
major turnpikes--busy with
nearly 5 million motor We
hicles-not one person was
killed.
Even more significant than
the Memorial Day showing is
the record for all of 1858, the
council says. For every 100
million miles of travel on nor

NAL highways, 7.3 deaths were
recorded.
But on turnplkeS, the rate
was only 2.8.
In other words" the coun-
Gil says. "it's nearly three
times safer to take the turn
pixies when you travel"
In addition. the council
estimates that the controlled
access, modern-deSign high
ways are saving TOO lives
annually.
But there are hazards in
turnpike driving, the council
points out.
"Superhighways," it says,
were made for speed-but
drivers must learn to use it
carefully. Sensible speed is the
key to safe superhighway
driving.
Once motorists are aware
of the hazards, safe, comforta-

CIRCLING THE

The POny
Clubs
Rally
BY DOLORES PHILLIPS
Contributing Writer


MIDDLEBURG, Va.-The
Henry Loomises, known To-
cally as THE Loomi," turned
over their Trough Hill Farm
on Tuesday and Wednesday
to SO Pony Club members for
two days of intensive, and
wet, pony club rallying.
The youngsters, ranging in
age from 10 to 18. belonged
to the Orange County, Mid
dleburg and the Warrenton
Pony Clubs of America. They
were there to prep for the
Virginia Regional Rally, to
be held later this summer at
Broadview Farm in Warren
ton.
Even with Trough Hill
FARMS extensive stabling,
Paulie Loomis spent days
knocking together sheep
hurdles for outdoor stalls to
take care of the mass of
ponies and horses that
vanned, or hacked, to their
two-night house party. They
were stabbed Monday after
noon and their riders had to
be back at Trough Hill at
7::30 Tuesday morning for the
first stable inspection, given
by Rufus Humphrey.
Hooves, hide, tack and
stalls had to be in apple pie
order to be marked with the
coveted $50 points.
The Events
Tuesday morning was
given over to the dressage
phase Of the rally and Tues
day afternoon to the 3-mile,
24-jump cross-country ride
with fence judges recruited
from everywhere.
The very young D riders,
about 20 of them, took over
on Wednesday morning and,
although not part of the big
rally. they played a version
Of musical chairs that only
the very young could survive.
The Ribbons
Many ribbons we're given
for individual scores in dres-
sage, and stable management
while the children had their
luncheon break outside the
food shed. The final overall
winners in the three divisions
(the Bs. C-2s and C-1s)
based on all phases Of the
rally were Pricilla Skinker of
The Plains in the BS: Mia
McIllvainne of Middleburg
in the Gas and Susan Som
mers, also of Middleburg, in
the C-1s.
Pricilla and Mia took home
the elaborate silver bowl and
silver pitcher, which they
can keep for a year until the
prizes are turned over to the
winners of next years Loomis
rally. Susan got nothing
since the rally had run out of
ribbons.
Henry Loomis won himself
a pre-dated Fathers Day
present last Sunday at the
Upperville Horse Show when
he and his family were
awarded the blue ribbon in
the Family Glass. Henry,
Paulie, Pixie, Timmy, Lucy
and Gordie, all done up in
blue jeans, white shirts, enor-
nous straw hats with green
ribbons, riding matching
chestnut horses and ponies
brought down the grand
stands on a wave of applause
whose frequency could carry
