couple of years when success was
still down the road" he said.
He does not forget the any
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS." assurance
he received at the outset from
Admiral Arleigh A. Burke, Chief
of Naval Operations, who wrote to
his fellow flag officers:
"If Admiral Raborn runs into
any difficulty with which I can
help. 1 will want to know about it
at once, along with his recon-
mended course of action.
IF more money is needed, we
will get it. If he needs more peo-
pie, those people will be ordered in.
If there is anything that slows
this project up beyond the capac-
ity of the Navy and the depart
ment, we will Immediately take it
to the highest level :. :"
Success Of the Poloris
Admiral Raborn refers to Special
Projects personnel as my tigers"
This grew out of his admonition to
them to "get the job done even if
you have to twist a tigers tail"
After the spectacular twin sue
cess of last July 20, when the first
two Polarises ever fired from
submerged submarine streaked
straight to their targets 1,100 miles
away, he sent this dispatch to the
industrial and naval groups in
volved:
After that doubleheader the
Tiger Rag is my favorite music
this morning. Congratulations to
all you tigers"
Last summer, when he escorted
President Eisenhower aboard the
missile, submarine Patrick Henry
at Newport, r. l., the admiral told
the President that he was con-
vinced that this job Creating
Polaris in 31a years. could not
have been done by a slave state
that only free. dedicated men,
with an assist from Divine provi-
dence, could have done it,
Mr.. Eisenhower later awarded
the Distinguished Service Medal
to the admiral for his work on
Polaris.
One of the keys to the Polaris
programs success has unqueStion-
ably been the DEVELOPMENT of
PERT. The letters stand for Pro-
gram Evaluation and Review
Technique.
PERT has been hailed as the
most significant new management
control tool of the last 10 years.
1t involves the use of electronic
computers to define and inte-
crate what must be done to meet
program schedules. 1t is statis-
tical technique for pointing out
danger signals to management
so that remedial decisions can be
made in time.
Some of our Polaris contrac-
tors have installed PERT, too"
the admiral said with a grin.
Now their computers can talk
with ours"
Used by Other Services
So successful has PERT been
that it is being used by the Army

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y
United Nations diplomats heaved
a collective sigh of relief last
week, not because Senator Ken
nedy won the American election
though he probably was the
preference of most-but because,
with the tumult over, world dip
lomacy could get off dead cente4
Much had been put on ice to
await the election. Some issues,
such as disarmament, Russia had
shelved; others, like the Congo.
the United States had tried to
squelch, as far as possible, to
avoid unpopular decisions at
touchy moment. Still other is
sues, such as Algeria. were de-
layed because interested parties
wanted to see how the wind would
be blowing after November 8.
Now, although there is still a
two-month interregnum ahead.
the log jam will begin to break
up. United States diplomacy here
can shake off the paralyzing fear
that some move-such as the
seating of the United Arab Re-
public in the U. N. Security Coun-
cil-would cost the election by
tossing key votes Tin this case,
the, Jewish vote in New York
City, to the Democrats. Similar
fears pervaded many corners of
u. N. activity.
The Russians began their stall
ling operation last May, refusing
to deal with the Eisenhower ad-
ministration. They may have
thought a Democratic administra-
ton would give them a better
deal on Berlin, Germany, and
Eastern Europe: at any rate, they
acted as if they thought so. Now.
they can be expected to start
testing out their thesis, or rather,
seeking contacts with Mr.. Ken
nedy to that end.
Conference on Disarmament
Soviet Premier Khrushchev has
already proposed summit confer
ence on disarmament in the form
of a special U. N. General Assembly
next spring. 1t is generally con-
ceded that the Assembly. now in
session, will have to reconvene
after the Christmas holidays to
finish its work.
If Mr.. Kennedy were to give the
nod, that resumption could be de-
layed from late January or early
February. as now planned, until
March or April; and steps could be
taken to make disarmament-or
almost anything else-its principal
subject matter. Such an Assembly
would be Soviet-American sum-
nit if Mr.. Kennedy chose to
attend.
The real question is whether the
new President wants to come into
direct contact with Mr.. Khru-
shchev as early as the first few
months of his term of office. If he
does, U. N. people think it would
be easier to arrange such a contact
at the U. N.-despite all the OBJ n
Gus disadvantages involved-th an

THE POWER OF FAITH

"Now it truly be said that the earth turns on a
point of faith" reads the inscription on the chapel
wall at the South Pole Station. There the IT Navy
men of Deep Freeze w have brought the warmth of
faith onto the frozen continent of Antarctica
When their recreation building, where services were
held, caved in under the weight of early this
year, Petty Officer C. Norman Engel of Spring Lake
N. j. requested permission to build the chapel. All
members of the group pitched in to carpenter paint
or shovel snow. The United States Navy sent me

ordinarily, l do not respond tc
questions that cannot be dealt
with "factually." But, here is
one on which the whole Judeo-
Christian faith is consistent.
The wonderful thing about
God is the magnitude of His
love and His forgiveness. He
loves and forgives far beyond
that which most Of US deserve
Look at His word to the prophet
Hosea 11:9: II will not execute
My fierce anger for I am
God and not man, the Holy One
in your midst, and I will not
come to destroy"
QUESTION-"Is there any
thing in the Bible about pray
ing for the dead?"
ANSWER-This depends on
which Bible you consult. Most
Protestant churches-not all
refrain from prayers for the
dead because they hold there is
no reference in the Bible as it
was translated by st. Jerome
into the Latin Vulgate.
However, it is known that
early church Enthusiastically
St. Augustine - advocated
prayers for the dead. The Ro-
man Catholic Bible contains As
books-inStead Of Jerome's 80.
The two Books Of Machabees,
declared canonical by the Coun-
Gil of Florence (1438-43) and
the Council of Trent 1545-63)
do make reference to prayers
for the dead.
II Machabees 12:46 reads:
cit is therefore a holy and
wholesome thought to pray for
the dead, that they may be
loosed from their sins"
QueStiOn-"What is the diff
ference between a religious
priest and a diocesan priest;
between a brother and monk?
Also, is there a difference be-
tween q monk and a friar?"
Answer-Diocesan priests are
sometimes called secular
priests. They serve under di-
ocesan bishops and do the regu-
lar work of the pastoral Office
In parishes or in special dioce-
san assignments. Religious
priests are members of re-
ligious communities - Jesuits,
Franciscans, etc. They are re-
sponsible to a major superior
of their respective community
A brother, in the Roman
Catholic Church, is a man who
takes vows but is not ordained
a priest. Monks, additionally,
have been those religious priests
or brothers who stress labor
and the contemplative life. An
example is the Trappist Order.
Friars also may be either priests
or brothers, but they serve in
active capacities in the world
as teachers, missionaries or
pastors. Sometimes it is said

QueStiOn-"When was the
Gregorian calendar brought
out? Is the earth revolving at
the same speed it did 100 years
ago-and 1000 years ago?"
Answer-The Gregorian cal
endar was evolved in 1851 by
an edict of Pope Gregory XII
to correct an error in the old
Julian Calendar (47 B. c..
The correction was made by
eliminating 10 days October
5-14 of the year 1882.

QuestiOn-"In Exodus 7:13
it states that He hardened
Pharaoh's heart Who did?
Was it God? If so, why did
He do it if He wanted to get
the children of Israel out of
Egypt"
Answer-This quotation from
the King James Version is an
obvious error in translation and
most other versions correct it.
See the Revised Standard YER
sion or the Jewish English YER
sion. If one reads this verse in
Hebrew the literal translation
would be: And hard was the
heart of Pharaoh" In the
newer versions it usually reads,
"Pharaoh's heart was hard
ened."

and much Of the original pur-
pose Of the Electoral College
disappeared. These are some of
the considerations the new Con-
gress may develop if it pro-
poses to examine our Presiden-
tial electoral system.
College Scholarships
A reminder to high school
seniors and their parents: Now
is the time to get busy on q
scholarship or on other financial
help that may be needed for
college!
More than a quarter-million
scholarships worth approx
mately $e5 million are offered
by colleges themselves. Thou
sands of other scholarships,
some of which go begging, are
offered by alumni groups, civic
clubs, veterans groups and
other organizations. At the
same time loans are available
for needy students through the
National Defense Education
Act.
Experts Suggest
To find out what is available,
specialists on scholarships make
the following suggestions: ~
Get a catalogue of the college
you want to attend. This will
show the scholarships and
other financial aid the college
has to offer. (2) Check with
your school principal or guild
ance counselor on outside schol-
arships offered by various civic
or other organizations. (3)
Write to the State School Su-
perintendent for information on
scholarships or other financial
aids offered by the State.
Among the Guidebooks avail

(1) direct election plans, (2)
district plans, and (3) proper
tional plans.
Direct election propose S
would abolish the electoral vote
altogether and would elect a
President by a plurality of the
direct popular vote. The Elec-
toral College would be pre-
served under the district pro-
posal but the entire electoral
vote of any state would not
necessarily go to just one can
didate. Presidential elector s
would be selected in each con-
gressional district and two for
each state at large.
Proportional Plan
Proportional plans would re-
tain the present electoral vote
distinctions but would eliminate
the Electoral College. In place
of present winner take all" ar
rangements, in which the candi-
date receiving a purality in any
state is given the entire cleo
toral vote in that state, the
electoral vote would be divided
in proportion to the statewide
popular vote of each candidate.
This differs from the direct
election proposal in that smaller
states would still be given the
electoral advantage they now
have.
That the present system pro-
duces some unusual results is
easily demonstrated. For ex-
ample, we think of President
Franklin D. Roosevelt's victory
in 1886 as being quite over

whelnning inasmuch as he re-
ceived the electoral vote of all
but two states. Yet, he received
only so per cent of the popular
vote. Any of the proposed
changes would allow the elec-
toral vote to more nearly re-
fleet the popular vote.
Proposals Rejected
At the Constitutional Con-
vention of 1777 many delegates
believed that direct election
was not desirable in that the
people had no opportunity to
closely assess the Presidential
candidates and the smaller
states would be dominated by
the larger ones. The delegates
also rejected proposals to elect
a President by the Congress or
by the Governors of the states.
AS adopted, the Constitution
provided for the election Of the
President by electors selected in
each state Gin such manner as
the legislature thereof may di-
rect" In creating the Electoral
College system, the authors of
the Constitution inrended that
each State should choose its
most distinguished citizens as
electors. Once the electors had
been selected, it was expected
that they would deliberate and
vote as individuals in choosing
the President.
With the growth Of the po-
litical party system, electors
were pledged to party candi-
dates before they were selected
