The bill would establish a

subject to Federal supervision,
would set the rules for eligibility
and would decide how much Of
d medical program, ranging up

Democracy resides not in nu-

The South:
Regulars

The names Of the regular
Democratic nominees will ap-
pear on ballots in both South
Carolina and Mississippi.
South Carolina, which pro-
duced third party nominee in
l948 and voted for him, decided
last week not to try it again. In
stead, voters who are unhappy
over the Kennedy-JohnSon slate
are expected to vote Republican,
something unheard of until re-
cent times.
And there are good many
who are unhappy over the Demo-
cratic ticket, said reports from
the State Democratic convention
in Columbia. Mainly, it was civil
rights that caused the trouble
although there were other fac

Gov. Hollings made an earnest
plea for Endorsement of the slate
Of electors pledged to the Ken
nedy- johnson ticket and a die
hard proposal that the convention
join a Southern free-electors
movement was shouted down.

sort of feeling in the State for

tifying themselves as Republicans

experts, will supervise all economic
planning and development in the
future. The tendency will be to
refrain from uncertain expert
ments and concentrate on sound
economic projects. To assure the
continuance OF this board. 1t will
be made part of the new con-
Stitution.
New Tex Law Plonned
Other changes now planned go
to the very core of the Turkish
society. A new tax law will broaden
the base of governments income
and the farmers. for the first
time. will be required to pay
taxes. A new labor law will rec
ognize the right Of unions to
strike, and another law will ini-
tiate trial by jury. Doctors, in COM
pensation for the free education
and training they receive in Tur-
key, will be required to serve for
a number of years in the provinces
of Anatolia where an acute short
age Of doctors exist.
Foreign service officers will be
appointed to positions in Anatolia
on the assumption that better
acquaintance with the conditions
of their country will make them
better representative abroad.
The government-owned and op-
Grated radio, political tool in
the hands of the Democrats, will
be kept strictly out of politics and
run as a commercial venture by
an independent corporation.
These are some, but by no means
all, of the changes now taking
place or being planned in Turkey.
There is one area. however, where
no change is contemplated: That's
Turkeys foreign policy.
The new regime made it clear
at the outset that Turkeys COM
mitment to the West would con-
tinue. Gen. Gursel announced
again recently: Turkey remains
loyal to the Charter of the United
Nations, and to each of Turkeys
alliance and contractual obliga-
tions."
Gen. Gursel is also firmly COM
mitted to the ideals of democracy.
Although a military man, he be-
lieves in a civilian government.
This is how he explains his belief
in democracy:
Never let us forget that the
day we lose our basic freedoms
we are predestined to lose all else
our morality, identity as men
and our very existence. There can
be no maturity or progress with
out freedom. Not to recognize or
feel the need for rights and free
doms of men is the mark of only
a base and pitiable creature. Any
attempt to degrade our nation to
such depths will always be fore
doomed to utter failure"

Defense::
Master Plan

Defense Secretary Gates, re-
jecting an Air Force proposal
for a new Strategic Command,
last week created an Organiza-
tiOn to develop a master target
plan for all United States re-
taliatOry forces.
This is the most important
military decision l have partici-
pated in since I came to the
Pentagon."
Thus spoke Mr.. Gates who came
here as Navy Under Secretary in
September, 1853, as he explained
to reporters on Thursday back
ground details of the establish
ment of a new Strategic Target
Planning group which is to be re-
sponsible for recommending to the
jos a master plan for the Ma
tons retaliatory striking forces.
Aside from centralizing this
highly important activity - the
Joint Staff of the jos has been
co-ordinating plans from the var
iouS unified commands to accom-
plish the same end-the Gates de-
cision has settled. at least for the
moment. a bitter fight between
the NAVY and the Air Force over
where the Operational control Of
the Navy'S PolariS missile sub
marines should be placed. 1t will
remain with the Navy, subject to
jos directives.
While all service chiefs approved
the new plan, the Navy had most
cause to rejoice. 1t was not 100
per cent pleased. but it won on
the point which really mattered
10 1.-THE operational control Of
its Polaris system will remain with
the sca-going service.
In addition. Navy man. Rear
Admiral Edward N. Parker. an
atomic weapons expert. has been
named deputy to Gen. Power. His
selection indicates that the Navy
is prepared to send it's best avail
able personnel to the new Staf
in order to give Gen. Power all
the help he needs.
Elsewhere on the defense front,
President Eisenhower, as expected,
last week appointed Gen. Lyman
L. Lemnitzer, Army Chief of Staff
as chairman of the jos to sue
ceed Gen. Nathan F. Twining

The Prince has a French-Loatian
wife and is believed to lean to-
ward the West.
Under present conditions, how
ever. there is likely to be little
such leaning. The best we can
hope for at this point is that
the new government will not, in
the name of national unity, invite
in the Communists. That would
be putting the cat in with the
canary.

uncertainty interjected into the
situation yesterday. however. Gen.

shchev and Hammsrsklold. The
whole U. rescue operation can
succeed only if HammarskJold can
outmaneuver the Kremlin.
The stakes are huge. Katanga
province has an estimated $40
billion worth of silver. gold, cop
per, cobalt and uranium ore. The
ultimate stake could be Commu-
mist or non-Communist domina-
ton of Africa-that, or in show
down, as Hammarskjold has said,
world war.
The secretary general has an
important ace in the hole, and he
is playing it. The African bloc in
the U. N. exerts formidable diplo-
matte leverage on the Soviet Un-
ion. 1t is a remarkable fact, but
it is so. Moscow cares very much
what Ghana. Guinea, and other
emerging states think about it's
policy. Communist influence in
Africa depends to a large extent
on Jnelr VefdlCt.
Don't Won't Cold War
And the Africans. though SYM
pathetic with Lumumba as the
struggling head of a country
newly independent. do not want
the cold war on their continent
except, perhaps. in the form OF
competitive economic aid. Ham
marskjold personally has immense
prestige among them.
Moreover, the Africans, like
other anti-colonialists. do not
want the precedent established
that the u N. can intervene with
force in the domestic affairs of
state. If the U. N. can legally
help Lumumba crush the Katanga
revolt, it can also help stamp out
the Mau-Mau tribes in Kenya;
it could put down a NaSser-sup-
prted revolt in Jordan or Iran;
it could even help the segrega-
zionist government of South Africa
if the Bantu, or black, population
should rise up.
The Africans do not want to
see any of this happen. Ham
marskiold reminded them of the
possibility this past week when
he called attention to the Leban-
csc crisis of 1858. in which no
African or Asian wanted the U. N.
to help the Glamour regime.
Intervention in domestic affairs
would do much to make the U. N.

Secretary Gates:
A Born Listener

could say one day last week that
there is only one paper left to be
decided in the Joint Chiefs Of
staff" This was the first time
in Pentagon history this was true.
Furthermore, the Chiefs Of staff
do not resent his decisions. Air
Force leaders. who we're suspicious
of Mr.. Gates at first because Of
his Navy background, now say he
has been fair and reasonable, even
when ruling against Air Force pro-
posalS.
Mr.. Gates says he does not
want the job of secretary in an
other administration, even If Of
fered. But he said the same
thing once before-last January
when he was nominated for the
secretaryship. He said he wanted
to return to private life-but that
he could not in good conscience
turn down the Presidents request.
When asked how long a man
should remain Secretary of De-
fense, he replied:
Il used to think three years was
ideal for positions of this type.
But secretaries in the Depart
ment of Defense find it difficult
to resign in an election year. So
they should stay either for two
or four years. Obviously the better
ot,Oina &c Fa,,r
Those Who Owe Service
This feeling. plus his deep con-
victionS that wealthy men owe
their country an extended period
of public service If called. make
Pentagon observers feel he would
be a pushover for plea to stay
on after January.
MI. Gates is a Philadelphia in
vestment banker and the son of
banker who gave UP his career to
become university president
without pay. Used to wealth, Mr..
Gates has no urge to grab for
more. But he feels he has obliga-
tionS to his business career and
to his family. He has spent most
of his adult life in Government
service-in the Navy during the
war and in key Pentagon Jobs
afterWard
He wants to spend more time
in that Maine home which is so
much on his SubconSciouS mind
that he draws it on yellow pad
while listening to the arguments
that beat on him without letup.
His skill at handling the Ma
tons second most important Job
is obvious, but how has he affected
military policy?
In general. he has carried out
the broad policies laid down by
the President. And he has pro-
duced what the President wants:
A deterrent fighting machine to
be purchased within budgetary
limits. But he is not welded to
any one defense philosophy or any
static spending figure. He is flex-
able. He says:
Continuous review is not just
a catch phrase. So many changes
are coming so fast and so many
technical studies are coming up.
that you can't have a fixed pro-
gram You must continually
watch your own progress-and the
USSR's.
So if Mr.. Nixon came to the
White House with a reasonable
program for more spending based
on new developments in defense,
MI. Gates could work with him.
But whether Mr.. Gates stays
on after January or not, the new
administration could at least learn
from his success story that expert
ence and ability to listen and then
decide is what makes an effective
Secretary OF Defense.

his yogurt to cool it," For the
time being at least. the important
objective is to prevent a heavy
concentration of power in any one
man or one single party. The new

will achieve this. Thus the new

key for the last 10 years.
