Air Force. Navy and Army men
have been called time and again
to assist Japanese civilians in
emergencies, such as last years

storm trackers have become an
essential part Of the island ma

They depend on us as much
or more than they do their own
services" one American offlcial
declared.
In addition. most Japanese are
aware that their incomes are
closely tied to trade. Tokyo news
papers, after the Hagerty Incl
dent, printed reports of cancel
lation after cancellation Of con-
tracts negotiated by American
firms with Japanese manufac-
turers.

the party is advising its members

ism, clearly an unpopular issue
among the electorate.
Six months ago. the Socialists
were growing about "the voice OF
the people" which they said was
expressed by the roar of the mobs
agitating against the treaty.
They chose, however, to over
look the fact that the mobs num-
bered usually no more than 100,-
900 persons. l per cent Of the
population Of Tokyo, and that
most of them were composed Of

virtually disappeared. Still a ques-.
ton mark is what kind of agita-
ton the violently left-wing stu
dent organization, zengakuren,
plans now that school has re-
Sumed.
Unanswered, too, is the question
of how the government will deal
with those mobs in the future.
The students-directed at least in
part by the Communists - have
learned that although they are a
minority. they can force the gov
ernment with rocks and jeers to
modify and compromise.
But Liberal Democrats are
afraid to give more power to the
police still remembered by many
japanese for notorious prewar
brutality. Many Westerners think.
however. that the government will
eventually have to reinforce police
powers or submit to mob rule.
II. as expected, Premier Ikeda is
returned to power with an even
greater majority, he can probably
be counted on to remove some Of
those question marks concerning
the future Of Japanese democracy.

Defense:
New Criticism

Maj. Gen. John B. Medaris,
retired head Of the Army's mis-
sile program, attacked the
PentagOn and the President in
a book published last week.
A large-Scale NATO naval
maneuver, "SwOrd Thrust" got
underway in the Norwegian Sea
last week. with American car
rierS and atomic submarines
participating.
Whatever happened to that
well-known line: "Old soldiers
never die, they just fade away?"
One may ask about this because
in the last year or two there has
been a rash of books for former
military types, including many
who have complained about the
way things are going.
Not all have been Americans.
But the latest member of the
club is. He is Maj. Gen. John
B. Medaris. one-time Army mis-
sile development chief and now
an industrial executive.
In his book, "Countdown for
Decision" the General treats
rather roughly another General
who turned to politics. Implying
that President Eisenhower mill
tary knowledge is behind the times
and that this has probably con-
tributed to the lag in development
of missiles, Gen. Medaris asserted
with all his well-known bluntness:
II do not think the situation
has been helped in recent years
by having a soldier in the White
House."
His point is that tactics and
weapons have changed so drastic

Who Knows How?
At San Francisco not long ago,
1000 world specialists on old age
spent a week comparing notes
then agreed they didn't know how
to keep themselves from growing
old. DR.. Louis Kuplan, president
of the international Association
of Gerontology. concluded that
q persons attitude means as much
and possibly more-than any,
thing medical science can do to
halt his aging.
Most experts who have made a
psychological study of Mr.. Ade-
nauer-to the extent this is pos
sible-would say the chancellor
is evidence for DIR. Kuplan'S analy-
sis.
There are countless oldSters with
heavy duty constitutions who
share Mr.. Adenauer's dislike of to-
bacco and passion for moderation.
Yet few of them can measure UP
to the chancellor.
Mr.. Adenauer has had the same
family physician for 20 years.
woman. DR.. Ella Bebber- -Buch, who
has old-timers coming to her from
near and far asking for the same
treatment Chancellor Adenauer
is getting"
DR.. Bebber-Buch's answer Is al
ways the same: Bring me the
same healthy constitution that
Chancellor Adenauer has and you
can be helped. Above all, and of
utmost Importance, are his in
finite tranquility of mind and ever
present good humor."
DR.. Bebber -Buch suggests that
the real secret" of Adenauer's
physical preservation "is his pos-
session Of q natural instinct for
what is good-and bad-for him.
In effect. Adenauer has a faculty
for subconsciously monitoring his
bodily processes.
He is q critical patient" Ade-
nauer's doctor continued, but as
soon as he realizes that what has
been prescribed for him is neces-
sary, he is very strict with him
self. He carries out the doctors
orders meticulorNly."
Divine Mission"
There are some medical experts
who believe Adenauer's ageless-
ness is explainable only in terms
Of a psychic mystique. There
seems no doubt that Adenauer is
assisted by a conviction that he
is executing a divinely decided
mission.
At his audience in Rome this
spring with Pope John XIII, the
Chancellor observed that West
Germany had been given the di-
vine mission Of helping save West
ern civilization from communism.
Adenauer frequently expresses
this theme in his public addresses.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.-The
Afro-Asian bloc at the United
Nations has risen up in indigna-
ton at Soviet efforts to subvert
Africa-and, astonishingly enough,
Moscow is pulling in its horns.
This fact. many feel here, will
be a significant feature Of the
international landscape long after
the thunder and lightning Of
Nikita Khrushchev have faded
away.
In the last two weeks it has
been demonstrated once more
with dramatic emphasis that the
new African and Asian countries
have extraordinary leverage on
the Kremlin. It has been many
a day since U. N. observers have
seen Moscow put to quite such a
total rout as it was here just on
the eve Of Khrushchev's arrival.
II the "A-A" bloc continues to
use its power to restrain the Rus
slams. the free world will have
gained a highly important ally.
However. If this leverage is ap-
piled only in cases Of immediate.
direct interest to Africa and Asia,
its impact on world peace will be
less significant.
Hopes for Harness
The United States hopes this
new force can be harnessed to the
Job Of extracting from Moscow
reasonable attitudes on nom
African subjects such as disarma-
ment. Berlin and self f-determina-
ton for Central and Eastern
Europe.
Immediate prospects do not
seem bright. The Afro-ASians
still regard Intervention in cold
war" issues as taking sides in a
power struggle from which they
prefer to remain aloof. They are
ready to help prevent the cold
war from spreading to new areas.
but are not yet ready to step in
and help solve existing cold-war
problems.
Nonetheless it is important that
the worlds so-called neutralists
are prepared to stand up courage
ously to the Soviet Union in any
area. observers here feel. Many
had dismissed them as Supine or
cowardly in the past. They now
have proved that assessment
utterly false.

speculation about his fountain Of

a ripe old age one must be blessed
with tough constitution. which
l am. and one must live a life
of moderation, which 1 try to do.
That is the secret"
The chancellor takes the view
that most men who die young do
so because they literally destroy
themselves. Mr.. Adenauer detests
tobacco in any form, and his
drinking is rigidly restricted to
the occasional connoisseur's glass
of Rhine or Moselle wine.
He eats sparingly. substituting
poultry for meat. He averages

Puerto Rico:

When the Soviet Premier lashed
out at colonialism in his U. N.
address. he cited a long list of
areas he charged we're still held in
colonial bondage" Prominent
among them was Puerto Rico, and
yesterday Puerto Rico's Gov. Luis
Munoz Marin was annoyed.
The Governor, now campaigning
in Puerto Rico for reelection to
his colonial" Office, dismissed the
Khrushchev reference as a IA
miliar Communist charge. He
cited the commonwealth status
the island enjoys. and also the fact
that a vote of the Puerto Rican
people at any time can change
that status.

precise as to details: His feeding
consists Of vitamin concentrates
and the like, and he may even be
fed intravenously. The sana-

At the end of the month, so the
story goes, Mr.. Adenauer is re-
juvenated. with stronger pulse,
better breathing, freer circulation.
Is this in fact Mr.. Adenauer'S
longevity secret? The chancellor
was asked point blank. This is a
magnificent theory. and a treat

chievous twinkle, but l really

A-A bloc which convened Just
before midnight September II.
Ambassadors Of the % countries
sat down in a small u. N. con-

Emboroo on Arms
The document which they
agreed to co-SponSor in the special
emergency General Assembly i'm
posed what amounted to an en-
barge on arms and men to the
Congo Except, of course. those
supplied under U. N. auspices).
Russia had vetoed such an en-.
barge in the Security Council;
now she bitterly fought it when
1t was laid before the General
Assembly.
But the A-A bloc stood firm.
The United States and her friends
helped guarantee that it would
not buckle by exerting counter
pressures, arguing privately that
the measure should be stiffened.
AS a result, not a word was
changed in either Moscow's or
Washington's direction.
Faced with total isolation, not
wanting to stand up before the
world in public opposition to the
Africans and ASianS 1t so long had
tried to WOO, the Soviet Union
capitulated. It abandoned all
protest against the embargo,
dropped at least temporarily its
campaign OF villification of Sec

skiold, and "abStained"-that is,
declined to vote yes or no-on
the A-A proposal.
Events in the Congo simultane-
ously took an upturn. Whereas a
week earlier the whole picture
was one Of disintegration, now It
seemed that Soviet influence was
being rejected. Russian diplomats
and planes were flown home. 1t
was too early to conclude that
the battle for the Congo had been
won, but an important turning
point had been reached.

storm over Adenauer'S about-face

chancellorship and seeking the
federal presidency, he said. quite
simply, he was doing so because
