THE FACTS R UNCHANGED
THE comment on party labels in this
spot not long ago was not based on misinformation, as
the writer Of a letter to this paper March 3O alleges,
nor was it "ilLinformed" on party platforms.
TERM independence as used, and as most
readers would normally understand it, merely recog-
nized the facts Of the situation. The party of which Mr..
Ferre is a high official, does not prefer the common
wealth idea, in contra-distinction to the Democratic
party of that island. It is stretching things a bit to read
into the term the breaking off and formation of a totally
new nation a
FURTHER, AS BETWEEN statehood and common
wealth, statehood may certainly carry with it more in
dependence than the commonwealth idea because a
State of the Union is sovereign, having all powers which
are not expressly granted to the Federal Government.
Again, therefore, the term independence" as used, is
no doubt being deliberately misunderstood and read out
of context. And furthermore, what, if anything, would
be wrong with desiring and working for total indepen-
dence?
THE COMMONWEALTH idea is a new and fasci-
mating one in the American political scheme Of things,
and those who devised and advanced it are to be COM
mended. It does not mean that they do not see bigger
and better things, but rather may be the best possible
way to accomplish great and significant strides within
the framework OF, and in partnership with, the United
States.
THE TRUTH OF the matter is that party labels can
be misleading, not because of any Wilfulness, but be-
cause of the background against which local participants
and voters operate. And it is perfectly natural because

endless hours and much effort to party matters there is.

Senator Mansfield said the
claim by a Russian admiral
that the Soviet Union now has

against enemy navies but also
against "objectives situated on
remote enemy territory" should
not be underestimated.

than underestimate them" he
said: I'VE can't afford to be

Senator Mansfield said the
best course for the United
States to follow was to build
more Polaris submarines. He
urged the administration to
take the initiative and call for

LONDON, July 80 (AP). -
The deputy commander Of
Soviet naval forces said today
the Soviet Union now has sub
marines capable of dealing
powerful blows not only against
enemy navies but also against
objectives situated on remote
enemy territory"
Admiral Arseny G. Golovko,
the deputy commander, issued
the statement on the eve of the
celebration of Soviet Navy Day.
His statement was broadcast
by Radio Moscow.
The admiral's announcement
may have been designed to
counter the disclosure that the
United States Navy last week
successfully test-f1red two Po-
laris missiles, which can carry
atomic warheadS, from the
submerged George Washington
and hit the target area l,100
miles away.
Admiral Golovko did not
specifically claim, however, that
the Soviet Union has a new
weapon rivaling the United
States ballistic missile.
American naval intelligence
has reported the Russians are
at work on three or more nu-
clear submarines and have an
unknown number Of subma- :
rines capable of firing guided,
air-breathing missiles with an
estimated range of about $50

This Goliath hurls atomic

Then the missiles smash the

These curious smithereens, or

Khrushchev Appeal
Hints Algeria Switch

PARIS, July 30 Cap. A
clemency appeal from Soviet
Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev
early this morning failed to
block the execution Of an Al
gerian, Nationalist but it
aroused French fears that Rus
sia is preparing tougher line
on Algeria.
Mr.. Khrushchev's cabled ap-
peal to President Charles de

COW radio only 80 minutes be-
fore 28-year-old Abderrahmane

the courtyard Of Lyons Prison.

unprecedented that a chief :
state should appeal directly in
a French court case, although
Morocco's King Mohamed v

said Mr.. KhrushcheV must

Who knows what the verdict
of history will be?
Good Politicians Needed
The present:
Scientists never were IN
charge of this and aren't now
and never should be. This nu-
clear power shouldn't be in
their hands but in the hands
Of elected officials, who are the
ones who should be making
political decisions.
I don't want to see scientists
get top Government jobs unless
they are elected. Most scien-
fists are not public spirited,
but more and more. the i'm
portant scientists are becom-
ing very sharp politically.
So, without good politicians.
the country has no future. We
need good scientists, too, of
course. Russia has good Scien-
fists, first rate, and lots Of
them.
The Russians may turn out
more, but numbers do not mat

ever, if they are better trained
than ours. And we are going
downhill all the time in our
training.
Must Have Better Schools
Somehow we must make our
schools better, for this is a
self destroying process. We
draw our teachers from these
same people we train, and what
we are able to draw from is
getting worse.
Many of my friends-Fermi

We are not lacking in native

But a group Of writer's and
intellectuals-r Angling from
Communist sympathizers to
liberals-claimed this clemency
appeal should have been made
by the lawyer Laklifi wanted.
They cabled a series Of lead
ers-including Mr.. Khrushchev,
King Mohamed v, Queen Eliza

Prime Minister Nehru-asking
their intervention. This was
the message to which Mr..
Khrushchev replied.
He said he appealed for "hu-

DUNEDIN, Fla, July 81
(AP) In the past, some people
said it would be nice If nuclear
weapons had never been dis

to stop this discovery.
Nature made uranium fis-

People have a wrong idea
about scientific secrets. think OF
them as something you can
hold close to your chest, hidden
from view. In science there are
no real secrets. Secrets belong
to nature. Anyone in any coun-
try can challenge nature.
Back then, in the late '30s,
we all knew the importance OF
atomic power. We understood
the energy was there, but we
didn't have any real hope OF
getting it out.
