Safe Job

Between pauses for refresh
ment, thieves tore open a floor
safe at Folks & Miller Sign Co.,
S18 Rockville Pike, and made
off with $1,000 in cash last Sat.
urday, police said.
Oral E. Folks, partner, said
thieves also smashed other
office cabinets in their search
for money. They found another
$500, he said.
But they paid for two soft
drinks from a vending machine,
he added. The empties were
found on a desk - and so were
a 10-pound sledge hammer and
a crowbar.

The United States regis
tered three major triumphs
last week: The Echo COM
munication satellite, the Dis
coverer XIII with its recov-
cred capsule which points
the way to recovery of man
in space and the ICBM Atlas.
More sensational develop
ments in space progress are
expected soon.
These developments should
be ample answer to the pun
dts who have lamented for
some time that we have
fallen behind the Russian
space science so much that
it was doubtful whether we
could catch up. 1t should also
answer the CasSandras in
the Senate who have been
shouting that we are prac-
tically defenseless against
the Reds.
Our overall military pos
ture is described by those in
the know as more than sat-
isfactory. With the excep-
ton of the ground forces
which are weak numerically
but not qualitatively-the
Air Force, Navy and rocketry
are ready for any test with
this country's enemies.
Yet in the field of diplo-
macy we are still leading
from fear and losing ground.
In his first inaugural ad-
dress the late President
Franklin D. Roosevelt said:
THE only thing we have to
fear is fear itself" When he
pronounced those words the
Nation was in the throes of
a major depression. Some
doubted whether We could
recover. We appear to have
no fear about our economy
these days but are fearful
over what the Russians may
do in the event we don't toe
their line.
1t was totally unjustified
fear which made us lose the
last two wars after they had
been won by the brilliant
strategy Of our officers, the
spirit Of abnegation and cour-
age Of the men at battle sta
tions and the prodigious
ability Of our industry to
shift quickly from manufac-
ture Of consumer goods to
war production.
Within two years after
Pearl Harbor we had the
greatest military machine the
world has ever seen. Yet fear
Of what Russia might do,
such as make a separate
peace with Hitler, prompted
the same man who warned
the Nation to fear only fear
itself to yield to Stalin's plans

sponsible government which
has not yet shown its capac-
ity to honor its obligations
to all foreign residents. The
State Department insists
that the extra 500 million is
needed Ito restore some of
the fundamental conditions
that will permit a more nor
NAL life to be resumed" But
how can a capacity to gov
ern be suddenly acquired by
a people hardly emerged from
savagery? How can there be
any respect for the lives and
properties of foreigners in
the future if the United
States now overlooks the
misdeeds Of the Congo gov
ernment and turns around
and gives it money?
But American taxpayers
who are expected to foot the
bill can still have recourse to
their own Congress and in
sist that not a penny be ap-
propriated to the new Congo
government until satisfac-
tory action has been taken
not only to punish the wrong
doers but to safeguard for
eignerS against similar at
tacks in the future.
The argument will be made
that, If the United States
doesn't help with money now,
the Soviet Union will. But the
truth is that the Communists
have their agents in the
Congo already and have
played no small part in egg
ing on the terrorists so as to
create more and more COM
plex problems for the coun-
tries of the West. Unless the
Congo government is willing
to exterminate the Commu-
mist intriguerS and stop try
ing to blackmail the West by
attempting to play off Mos
COW against Washington,
there is little justification for
pouring American taxpayers
money down the drain in the
Congo.
Certainly the civil rights"
Of the white women in the
Congo would seem to be as
important as any other civil
rights" which motivate so
many political demonstrations
nowadays in this country.

Losing Ground With Diplomacy

the British. also prodded the
administration into appease-
ment.
The invitation to Premier
khrushchev to m axe his
propaganda visit to America
and the Inflated summit
meeting were the conse-
quences of diplomacy by
fear. The slogan, Its bet
ter to exchange words than
bombs" had been adopted
and exploited by the politi-
clans. A similar attitude was
adopted toward Latin Amer
lea where international COM
munism had penetrated Cuba.
To the amazement of the free
world, the powerful United
States permitted a two-by-
four Red dictator to heap un-
precedented insults on this
country, kick Uncle Sam in
the shins and spit in his face.
Once more there was the fear
of Moscow's and Peiping's re-
action just as was the case
later in the Congo where the
Russians are placing Patrice
Lumumba in power.
1t is said, especially by
the Communist propagandists,
that the modern destructive
weapons can annihilate the
human race. This may be so,
but the question is why
should this not apply to the
Communists, too. And Amer
ica's might is unquestionably
greater than theirs. Because
of fear we are trying to buy
peace with dollars. The Rus
slams are intent on taking
over the world with bluff.

for world conquest at Tehe-
ran and Yalta.
Fear once more prompted
President Truman at Pots
dam to make concessions on
such matters as Berlin and
the Far East. Thus we won
the bloodieSt war in history
only to lose it because of
diplomatic fear. The same
thing happened in the Ko-
rean police action. There is
not the slightest doubt in the
minds of our military directly
involved in the Korean opera
ton that we could have
pushed the Communists way
beyond the Yalu River had
Washington not suffered an
attack of jitters about what
Russia might do. It must be
remembered that at that
time the Soviets had only just
exploded their A-bomb and,
according to intelligence, had
few. if any, operational. We
had a large stockpile.
When the Russians
launched the Sputnik a pail
of gloom descended over this
country. We heard many re-
sponsible people voicing the
fear that we had been de-
feated by the Russians in
rocketry and had been placed
in an almost hopeless defen-
sive position. Hence, it was

DAVID LAWRENCE

An amazing item came over
the news ticker yesterday. It
read in part as follows:
"The State Department
asked Congress today for an
extra $l00 million in foreign
aid funds to help the vio-
lence-torn Congo and pos
sihly other new African ma
tions."
Not many days ago the
troops of the Congo govern
ment which is to be given
American taxpayers money
committed one of the worst
atrocities in human history
brutal attacks on white res
idents. with wholesale beat
ings of the men, mistreat-
ment Of the children and
rape of the women, including
at least two American mis-
sionarieS.
Yet the Prime Minister of
the Congo government has
called it all a lie" and not
a word of regret or apology
has come from the very gov
ernment whose troops were
guilty of the atrocitieS-and
whose same troops now would
be supported with money
furnished by the taxpayers of
America.
The United States ambas-
sador in Leopoldville reported
the facts at the time, and a
commission Of inquiry
created on July 16 by the
Belgian government has Just
issued a preliminary report
that documents case after

posed entirely of high judges
of Belgian courts and is not
under control of the govern

So-Colled Trials Purpose Is to Condemn
America, With Pilot Already Convicted

Because Of the trial of
Francis Gary Powers, the
American U-2 aircraft pilot
who was brought down near
Sverdlovsk, Russia, I went
back to reread parts Of
Andrei Y. Vyshinsky's THE
Law Of the Soviet State"
It is important that the
American public understand
that the Soviets have already
declared Mr.. Powers guilty.
The trial, which will not be
one Of a prosecution and
defense arguing before a
jury, will have as its purpose
the anti-United States ex-
ploitation Of the evidence in
Soviet hands, including Pow
ers' confession" released by
the Russians as a part of the
indictment against him.
This document of Con
fession" puzzles our aviation
experts chiefly because it
reveals Mr.. Powers to have
made statements about his
procedure when his plane
was damaged which are not
believed possible. There is
conjecture that Powers, who
unquestionably was subjected
to many, many hours of
skilled questioning, may have
had his statement distorted
by the Soviets, or that he
talked after being treated"
with certain drugs.
If Mr.. Powers has been led,
by psychologists trained in
Communist techniques of in
terrogation, to denounce the
policy Of his own country, it
will be a major propaganda
victory. But the Soviets in
tend to make it a triumph,
