because there was nothing
much on tap other than the
usual golf.
The President and Mrs. Els
enhower and a group Of
friends gathered in the trophy
room at Augusta National Golf
Club to dine and watch the
old year out.
The club is the vacation

end Of tn. week. But for the
time being there is a holiday
brake on White House business.

for the fiscal year which begins
July l. Budget Director Maui

Although the budget will not
be sent to Congress until jan
uary lS, it is just about in final
form-reportedly balanced and

AS Yeor of Bottle

I President George Meany Of
the AFL-CIO has alerted Amer
lean labor for "a year of battle, 4"
as he put it. in 1860.
Mr.. Meany said in a year-end
statement that organized labor
faces "the graveSt attacks upon
our movement in a generation"
and in the new year I'VE face
new challenges at the bargain
ing table, on the picket line, in
the legislative halls. at the polls
and in international affairs"
There is every indication, +"
he said. "of a united front by
reactionaries in big business to
destroy long established union
safeguards over working con-
ditions, job security and in
dividual rights.
"A coalition Of reactionaries
in Congress is planning new
restrictions on legitimate unions
and the Illustration of our pro-
gram for the Nations progress. /"
Mr.. Meany said such labor
wanted measures as a higher
minimum wage, Government
provided health care for the
aged. unemployment aid and
better schools can be realized

Force, Okinawa Is a place to
store nuclear weapons and a
place from which to launch
nuclear plane or missile strikes
without asking another govern
ment's permission. The Army,
with only air defense and serv-
ice and administrative units
there, could get along without
Okinawa.
Favor Union With Japan
If America gave UP control
of the islands Japan would
take over. American polls of
Okinawans indicate the Oki-
nawans want to go to Japan.
Their feeling seems to be that
some large power must protect
them. and they feel more kin
ship to the Japanese than to
any other people.
Also the Japanese-American
peace treaty and an executive
agreement with the japanese
government says Japan holds
residual sovereignty" in the
Islands. No one seems to be
thinking Of any kind of United
Nations trusteeship.
Thus future use of the islands
would depend on the japanese
government. The American Am
oassador to Japan, Douglas
Macarthur II. believes Japan
will in the foreseeable future
have the most stable, reliable
and cooperative government
OF any Asian country. But It
bans atomic weapons, and it
looks forward to the day when
American troops will clear out.
So. from the military point
Of view, there can be no cues
ton of giving up Okinawa.
Want Pledge for Future
What do the Okinawans
think? No one has asked them
There has been no plebiscite,
nor is one planned. During
this reporters two visits TO
Okinawa on a Defense Depart
ment tour, no time was sched-
uled with Oklnawan leaders.
But American civil admins
tration officials say the Okina-
vans like their new prosperity.
ike their new chance to learn
government at all but the top
most level and like their new
schools. They want to return to
Japan, the Americans say. but
uOI lLIALiIculhLely.
What would satisfy them,
American officials say. is a
definite promise Of self-deter-
minatioin at a given date in the
future-10, is or 20 years, any,
thing reasonable.
Such a promise would seem
to be an adequate way of
squaring military needs with
democratic principles. B u I
American military men who
cannot see the day when they
won't want to control Okinawa
say 1t is impossible to set a
date.
And there the matter rests.

The TENSE PACIFIC
US. Delays Decision
Over Okinowo Rule

by the American Department oi
Defense. Its chief administra

eral. And local officials who
displease the rather tolerant
American rulers can be re-
moved.
Islands Taken In War
How did America get into
this position and why isn't il
getting out?
1t started during the wal
when Okinawa was a key Jap
anese defense post. American
troops took it and 81 other
small islands that constitute
the Ryukyu chain. A few OF
the northern islands were given
were given back to Japan in
1858. but the rest remained
American by right Of conquest
and by right Of a treaty i'm
posed on defeated Japan in
1851.
Okinawa, the only island of
the group that counts from the
American point of view, Is
about the size of the District
of Columbia, Montgomery
County. Md, and Arlington
County, Va. combined. 1t is
a lush green island. and when
the three or four annual ty-
phoons are not roaring past, 1t
has an agreeable near-tropicai
climate. Americans who live
there like it.
The people are an Oriental
mixture. They are considered
backward hillbillies by the Jap
anese but Americans find them
to be eager and quick learners.
Ideal for Military
The United States kept the
islands because of their key
location and because they rep
resented an opportunity for
Americans to control their own
military destiny in one spot in
the Far East. The American
Government does not have to
consult a foreign government
when it wants to build bases
there. turn paddy fields over to
troop maneuver areas. store
atomic bombs, install missiles,
quarter troops, fight wars or
anything else.
American admirals and gen.
erals of the Pacific Command
love the arrangement. They
briStle when an outsider sug-
gests the Okinawans should
have the right of self-determi-
nation. They argue as strongly
that possession of Okinawa is
indispensable to American Sc
curity as French officers argue
that Algeria is indispensable
to France and British officers
to argue that the Suez Canal
zone was indispensable to
Britain.
Vital TO Defense Chain
The arguments are similar
We need the territory. we are
helping the natives, they will
have to forego more political
rights until we are ready to
grant them.
Without Okinawa, Pacific
Command officers say. the
American forward strategy
of Pacific defense would become
dependent on the unstable gov.
ernments OF the small countries
Of the Asian fringe. If these
countries prove unreliable OF
too restrictive. the American
defensive line would have to be
withdrawn to the Aleutians
Guam, Wake and Hawaii.

Civil Jet airliners have
proved themselves far beyond
everyone's expections." Federal
Aviation Administrator E. r.

year-end statement.
Pure jet aircraft will assume
the predominant role in air
transportation in 1860, when
$50 more jets will be added to
airline service, the review said.
at is thus evident" Mr..
Quesada said, that the pio-
neering is over. The Jets have
proved themselves far beyoad
everyone's expectations. They
will establish new records for
service during 1850"
Summing up the aviation
agency's first year of opera
tions, the report pointed out
that the increase of jet oper-
ations has brought about re-
visions Of old rules and insti-
tuted new ones.
Retirement at so
Most significant, the report
said, was the 60-year man.

Line Pilots Association says 1t

Another point was an amend
ment prohibiting any airman
from operating If their medical
background showed diabetes re-
quiring insulin: coronary artery
disease; q history Of psychosis
or other mental or nervous dis
orders, chronic alcoholism, drug
addiction or epilepsy.
Still another rule was one re-
quiring airborne weather radar

In the closing month Of its
first year. the FAA put safety
inspectors on a round-the-
clock schedule. Other high
lights:
A rule requiring all future
commercial and private pilots to
have a measure of instrument
instruction in their training

ments for a total Of 25.455 miles.
During the past year, seven
FAA control towers reported
their typical busy hours showed
an average of nearly one

takeon per minute. To meet
this new demand, the agency
commissioned a new naviga-
tional aid or traffic manage
ment facility at the rate of one
a day for q total of 365 for
the year.
The space management pro-
gram made available 5000
miles Of new air space for civil
aviation.
Deaths Noted
Electronic computers made
their appearance in Washing

traffic control and engineers
completed plans for introduc-
ton Of automatic landings in
which planes viii be able to
