When I talked to Sonia,
Nikita Khrus h c h ev had
stirred up things again in
the German capital. And here
she was-17 miles from the
Iron Curtain-making an
anti Communist movie and
separated from her family in
Berlin.
The movie is "The Secret
Ways" an espionage story
based on the best selling novel
by Alistair MacLean. For Son.
ia, an established German
actress, the movie marks her
debut for an American COM

As she and Richard Wild

Nazi barracks now used to
house Hungarian freedom
refugees, Sonia confided:

lives in West Berlin, I worry
about them. More so now that

KIN and Los AnqeIes

With good reason the Netherlands
government attaches great Importance
to the bilateral talks that have lust
begun here, at the State Department.
on the long-Standing request that the
United States grant landing rights in
Los Angeles to the kim Royal Dutch
Airlines.
Although opposed by some of our
American air carriers, the request has
the strong and unqualified support of
many key groups in Southern California.
These include the press, major indus
trial and agricultural enterprises and
the Chamber Of Commerce and City
Council of Los Angeles. AS they see the
situation, Holland merits a favorable
response from our Government for
reasons that range all the way from
sound principles of international eco
nomic relationships to basic consider
ations Of nondiscriminatory fair play.
At any rate, in this burgeoning age
OF jet-plane commercial travel, Los
Angeles Is rapidly becoming one Of the
worlds most important air centers, and
that is why KLM-which incidentally is
privately operated and receives no sub
sides from the Dutch governments
anxious to have landing rights there.
For such rights would enable it to i'm
prove its service and its earning capacity
by opening up fast new route non
stop from the West Coast to Montreal
and thence to Holland. Certainly, since
these rights have been accorded the
Scandinavian Airlines System, the
British Overseas Airways Corporation,
West Germany's Lufthansa and Air
France, it is difficult to see how our
country can deny them to the Neither
lands without seeming to be unfairly
discriminatory.
This is the more true, in the opinion
of the Dutch, for two reasons above all:
Q) kim is at present committed to
spend $108 million in the United States
for the purchase Of American-made
aircraft, including twelve Douglas DC-8
jetlinerS and twelve Lockheed Electras.
And (2) the Netherlands, as far as
general international commerce is con-
cerned, is buying more than twice as
much from us as we are buying from it,
and the only way 1t can earn dollars to
meet this trading deficit is by selling its
services, such as swift and comfortable
air transportation.
Everything considered, therefore,
the Dutch have good case to present in
behalf Of their renewed application for
kim landing rights in Los Angeles. The
State Department, we trust, will lend
them an attentive and sympathetic ear.

The Challenge in Space

There may well be certain amount
Of political or psychological motivation
behind the Soviet Unions announce
ment of plans to test new rocket with
launchingS whose impact area will be
in the Central Pacific. At the same
time, however, there seems little rea-
son to doubt that the Russians-who
have as much right as we do to use
international waters for such purposes
are embarking on this project for
valid chronological reasons in connec-
ton with their space program.
In any case, as the official Tass
statement has put it, Soviet scientists
and designers are now working to de-
velop more powerful rocket to launch
heavy earth satellites and undertake
space flights to planets of the solar Sys-
tem." Accordingly, with the first firings
scheduled to begin somewhere between
January is and February is, the new
rocket (minus the last stage, the pay
load) will be tested with launchings
into the central part Of the Pacific
Ocean, removed from places Of inten-
sive shipping, airlines and fisheries"
Meanwhile, just as our own country
has done in similar circumstances, the
USSR requests that all governments
caution their ships and planes against
entering the area, which is located about
1,l0O miles southwest of Hawaii and
1000 miles east of our nuclear testing
grounds in the Marshall Islands.
The Russians are not saying, of
course, just how much more powerful
their new rocket will be, but presuma-
bly, 1t will be considerably superior to
the main-stage missile they have used
thus far to put big payloads into space
payloads much heavier than ours. This
missile Is estimated to have a thrust of
between 100000 and 100000 pounds. BY
way OF comparison, our biggest booster
instrument at present (the Atlas) has
thrust OF only about 100000 pounds,
which explains why our earth satellites
and other space vehicles have been far
lighter than RuSSia's up to now. Nor
are we likely to be able to close the gap,
or even come near to closing it, for an
other three or four years, by which time
we should have propulsive equipment
with a thrust Of is million pounds
enough to carry out genuinely impress
sive spatial projects.
But the Soviet Union, needless to
say, will not be standing still in the
meantime. AS far as rocket booster sys-
TENS are concerned, it has a clear lead
on us now, and we have our work cut
out for us in trying to catch up. More
money is not the only answer to the
challenge, but 1t can help, and so 1t is
good to know that President Eisenhower
as he has indicated in his state-of-
the-Union meSsage-favors sharply in
creased expenditures for the Job that
must be done If we are not to lose this
supremely important race.

Origin of Church

II Lne various secular
sciences were taught as in
accurately and specifically
as that pertaining to religion,
the world would be in a
highly confused situation to-
day. I now have in mind the
answer given in The Star by
DR.. Carlyle Adams to a query
concerning the origin Of the
Roman Catholic Church. He
said that The Roman
Catholic Church does trace
it's origin back to st. Peter.
Nobody denies this Peter
is regarded as the first
bishop-or pastor-of the
church in the city of Rome
:" It is strange how little
the clergy rely on secular his
tory and Biblical facts. I GER
tainly deny the above as
sertions.
After Jesus was crucified
about AID. 81, Paul was con-
verted and later quarreled
with Peter, whereupon the
former became the apostle
to the Gentiles and Peter
the apostle to the Jews.
During AID. 1855. Paul or
ganized the Christian
churches in western Ana
tolia, Greece, and Macedonia,
and about AID. SO was trans
ported in custody by boat
to Rome. He organized the
church there, but his labors
incensed the pagan Romans
and he was martyred about
AID. 81, whereupon Linus be-
came the first regular pastor
and bishop at Rome. There
is not the slightest intima-
ton currently anywhere that
Peter also had gone to Rome,
for he had corresponding
duties among the Jews Of
the Palestine area. The Greek
churches we're the nucleus
Of the later Greek Orthodox
Church and the man
church that of the later
Roman Catholic denomina-
ton, all organized by Paul.
In AID. 65 the Roman army
attacked Jerusalem. During
a lull in the attack, Chris
tians and others fed. Peter,
his son Marcus, and his
amanuensis Silvanus were
among those who went to
Babylon, where his first epis-
tie was written about year
66, as 1t correctly states. The
second epistle was written
the next year, 81. AS shown
in II Peter l,13-15, he antic-
ipated early decease and
doubtless died, aged about
80, in year SO. Any assertion
that he ever went to Rome
is a false pretension.
The Roman papacy was or
ganized in year 756, Ency.

Unworronted Criticism

1t is bad enough for a responsible
medical spokesman to ridicule efforts Of
the Government to protect citizens
against possible health hazards in con-
taminated cranberries, candy and chick
ems. 1t is even worse, however, when the
ridicule is based on erroneous informa-
ton that could have been easily checked.
We refer, of course, to the sarcas-
tically critical editorial in the current
issue of the American Medical Associa-
ton Journal. Author of the editorial
was DR.. John H. Talbot, editor of the
Journal, which is the official organ of
the ANA. The editorial spoke of well
documented evidence" that the cancer
causing chemical, aminotriazole, which
was found on cranberrieS and which
caused the Federal Food and Drug Ad-
ministration to issue its pre- -Thanksgiv-
Ing warning to consumers, occurs nat
urally in vegetables, notably cabbage,
turnipS and broccoli"
Deputy FDA Administrator John L.
Harvey has challenged DR.. Talbot to
produce any evidence that this synthetic
weed-killer exists in a natural state in
plants Of any sort. When DR.. Talbot
cited DR.. Edwin D. Astwood Of the Tufts
Medical School as his authority, DR.. Ast-
wood said that DR.. Talbot had been
misinformed. He said the mistake ap-
parently arose from his being misquoted
in press article. The vegetables named
by the ANA editor, he explained, con-
tain a natural compound somewhat
resembling aminotriazole-bu this nat
ural substance, unlike the synthetic
chemical, does not cause cancer.
Under the circumstances, the ANA
should repudiate the Journal editorial
and its author ought to apologize to
Secretary Flemming of the Health, Edu-
cation and Welfare Department, who
has justif1ably denounced the article,
and to the FDA. The ANA, dedicated
to improving the health Of the American
people, ought to be supporting, instead
OF criticizing, the Governments efforts
to protect consumers against any threat,
however small, to their health.

The Money Must Be Raised

AS the seriousness of Virginia's A.
nancial plight becomes more apparent
through pre-General Assembly discus
sions and reports, it is also becoming
more evident that sales tax is the
States best hope of meeting its steadily
increasing obligations Even many long
time opponents of such tax have begun
to talk, reluctantly, of the possible adop-
ton OF limited levy on sales With
Governor Almond on record for a per
cent sales tax and sentiment gradually
building up behind him, the question now
Is not so much whether sales tax is
advisable, but rather what sort Of sales
should be taxed, and how much.
Arlington State Senator Fenwick un-
doubtedly expressed the thoughts in the
minds OF many fellow legislators when he
announced: Il refuse to advocate in one
breath improved facilities and, in the
next, refuse to appropriate necessary
money for these purposes" He pointed
out that Governor Almond has received
departmental requests for SIP million
IN recurring obligations in excess of ap-
preparations for the current biennium, in
addition to $50 million for capital i'm
provements. Unmet needs as of next
July are estimated at more than 5000
million. The extra revenue to meet these
needs must be found by the forthcoming
Assembly-and none Of the suggested
alternatives to sales tax would pro-
vide the money needed.
An alternative proposed by Airing
ton Delegate Harrison Mann is a with
holding system for collecting the State
income tax. A Withholding plan would
have considerable popular appeal and it
would have the virtue of bringing in
revenue from some taxpayers who,
through shifting residence or other
causes, escape payment of any State tax
on their incomes. But the additional
revenue would not be expected to meet
the States deficit. Mr.. Mann, referring
to sales tax as "laSt resort" advocated
restricting it to "luxurieS." Until he de-
fines what is meant by luxuries, how
ever, there is no way Of estimating how
much this plan would produce. Arlington
Delegate Winston would exempt food and
drugs from a sales tax
Governor Almond, on the other
hand, has not mentioned any reStric-
tions. And 1t is unrealiStic to talk Of
restrictions, anyway, until the States
spending program for the next bien-
mum is known and the effects on State
