Russian Shot
AtMurs Seen
By KowuIski
By the Associated Press


Representative Kowalski
Democrat of Connecticut, spec
ulates that April is could be
the day the Russians launch a
rocket toward Mars.
His guess was made on a
recorded radio interview today
with Representative Karth
Democrat of Minnesota. on the
general subject of space ex-
plorations.
Mr.. Karth is a member of
the House Space Committee
Mr.. Kowalski is a former Army
colonel and member of the
Armed Services Committee. Mr.
KowalSki, an old time space
fan, Joined a rocket society in
the early l930s.
Here's how Mr.. KoWalski fig-
ures it:
Inc Russians haven't been
firing those test shots in the
Pacific for nothing.
April l6 is a favorable day
to try for Mars, and the next
favorable date would not come
until October /.
The Reds, Mr.. Kowalski be-
lieves, would not overlook the
propaganda value of such a
shot Just prior to the May
summit meetings.
Mr.. Kowalski said he be-
lieves the Russians are capable
Of launching a rocket to Venus
the next favorable date will
be January l3, Iceland of
attempting to launch man into
space and establishing a lab
oratory on the moon.

Misplaced Criticism From u. S.

of the dictator Batista-who
was bitterly anti Communist
that they did not see that
his bearded replacement
would be far more injurious
to the security of the United
States. There is nothing
much we can do henceforth
since Castro has received the
accolade of the American
Government and press.
A new situation which will
further strengthen interna-
tional communism on our
threshold is developing in the
Dominican Republic where
the Trujillo dynasty has been
ruling for some 80 years.
There was little trouble in
that prosperous republic un-
til Castro started extending
his tentacles. His efforts to
invade or cause a national
rebellion failed. Now the
tension has increased be-
cause certain influential
American newspapers and
periodicals have begun to
wage a relentless campaign
against the Dominican re-
gime.
While our Government has
handled Castro with kid
gloves we have had sharp
words for certain dictators
who are friendly to us, such
as Trujillo, and SomoZa in
Nicaragua. The press cam
paign is effectively bolstered
by utterances by Congress-
men such as Charles o.
Porter "a Castro rooter) and
also by diplomatic statements
and innuendoeS from State
Department officials. There
is no doubt that the Domi-
means live under a Dictator
ship far less harsh than in
Cuba or in the Soviet Union.
But they offer no military
political base to our Com
munist enemies.

Paper Union
In Alliance

ATLANTA, April 9 (AP).-
Representatives of two unions
have signed a unity declara-
ton they hope will lead to
eventual merger of all unions
in the printing, paper and
converting fields Into one
great organization"
The agreement was signed
in Washington yesterday by
vice presidents of the Inter-
national Printing Pressmen
and Assistants Union of North
America and the United Paper
Makers and Paper Workers
Union.
A spokesman said member
ship in the two unions totaled
about 263,000 with the paper
makers having 100000.
Walter J. Turner of Los An
geles, vice president of the In
ternational Printing PresSmen,

declaration" after he flew to
Atlanta from Washington.
The declaration said repre-
Sentatives of the unions agreed
to:
l. Sincerely and unselfishly
strive for organic unity of
these unions and other unions
in the graphic arts and paper
industry.
2. Cooperate in collective
bargaining to secure uniform
high standards of wages and
working conditions for their
workers.
3. Organize jointly or render
assistance to each other in
campaigns to bring benefits of
trade unionism to the remain
ing thousands of unorganized
workers still in our industry.
4. Render all possible assist
ance and aid to each other in
strikes or lockouts forced upon
our members by employers.
5. Exchange information and
material of mutual benefit in
collective bargaining.
6. Cooperate in all other
ways to advance the welfare

La PASSIONATE, the super
animated Spanish Commu-
mist leader, has instructed
her minions in Spain and
Portugal to waste no longer
their efforts in trying to
overthrow Franco and Sala-
Zar and to shift to the
Caribbean and northern tier
republics in Latin America
where "the present govern
ments can be successfully
toppled over"
There is no doubt that
these instructions issued in
the name of the interna-
tional Communist group with
headquarters in Moscow are
known not only to officials of
our Government but also to
any information media.
Hence it is astounding to find
that some responsible news
papers and magazines con-
tinus to harp on the misdeeds
of the so-called dictators still
in power in the Caribbean
and Central American repub-
lies as if they were following
La Passionaria's instruction,
which they do not.
There is no question that
the ways of these individuals
who have been ruling their
countries with an iron hand
for many years could possibly
find sympathy in this coun-
try. But on the other hand,
considering the political sit
uation in countries such as
the Dominican Republic, what
good could we expect from a
change of regime produced
by a revolution similar to
that in Cuba?
1t is true that Fulgencio
Batlsta was a thieving. sordid
dictator. But is his successor,

U. S. Invited to Set Up
Philippine A-Weopons

MANILA. April 9 CAP).-
President Carlos P. Garcia to-
day issued a Bataan Day invita-
ton to the United States to
station atomic weapons in the
Philippines.
The approval of the Philip
pine Congress would be neces-
sary but I am sure Congress
would approve. Mr.. Garcia
said in an interview with the
Associated Press.
THE weapons could include
missiles" the President said,
If the United States felt it
necessary they could be kept
at the American bases here
rather than under control of
the Philippine government"
Buildup
Mr.. Garcia made his plea for
a drastic buildup in Philippine
military might on the 18th
anniversary of the surrender of
Filipino and American forces
on Bataan to Japan. The day
is a holiday of national mourn
ing in the Philippines.
Diplomatic negotiations have
been under way for some time
with the United States on the
Philippine desire to become a
center of free world military
might in Asia. This was the
first time that there has been
public mention of the Philip
pine desire to have atomic
weapons available here.
We need the weapons so if
there is another Bataan we can
stand on this ground long
enough for an outraged world
to come to the rescue" said Mr.
Garcia.
Mr.. Garcia made no specific
mention of Communist China
whose giant army lies only a
few hundred miles away across
the South China Sea. However,
his words seemed to indicste
that he felt the major threat
of Asian aggression lies in

President Eisenhower says
longtime friends of Cuba fee
the ideals of its revolution are
being betrayed by the govern
ment of Fidel Castro.
His frank appraisal was con-
tained yesterday in a long let
ter to Chilean students who
had criticized United States
policies toward Cuba during
Mr.. EiSenhower's visit to Chile
The Eisenhower letter pro-
duced no immediate reaction
in Cuba, but observers in Ha-
vana felt sure it would pro-
woke a sharp note from Mr.
Castro's government or a long
Itelevision speech by the Pre-
mier.
The Chilean students had
written to Mr.. Eisenhower
that they thought the United
States had coddled Latin
American dictatorS and had
not done enough to promote
democracy and provide eco
lnomic aid.
Mr.. Eisenhower briefly men
toned the criticism in a speech
during his Chilean visit, and
promised a detailed reply. The
l4-page letter, transmitted
through the American Ambas-
sador in Chile, was that reply
In it, the President sought tc

plored, I'VE find it everywhere.
From the ten-thousand- dollar
seat in the Senate of the
United States, the trail of the

To embellish his point, Mr..
Watterson recalled a cynical
bit of doggerel as follows:
As with cautious step we
tread our way through
This intricate world as other
folks do,
May we each on his journey
be able to view
The benevolent face of a

The gospel is preached
For a dollar or two:
