Let Us Face Up To Reality-As
a member of the Senate Commit
tee on Armed Services, | attended
the executive sessions at which
the members are briefed by Of
ficials on our defense needs and
plans We have had numerous
executive sessions recently Much
of the matter is classified" but
| can tell you this much: | would
be negligent in my duty to my
constituents if l did not warn
them that we must keep our de-
lenses strong. l am convinced
that this is necessary if the free
world is to remain free. Also, our
maintaining a strong defense posi-
ton offers the best possible road
to peace.
1t would be wonderful if we
could lay down our arms. but
with the world as it is today it
would be national suicide for us
to disarm. l supported the setting
up of the Geneva Disarmament
Conference, as l have supported
all moves which held any promise
of success in the field of interna-
tional disarmament. However, it
appears that the SovietS do not
want a workable agreement
l feel sure you prefer that | re-
port to you accurately, even when
the truth hurts. In line with this
thought, let us now = for the
balance of this letter look
squarely at some significant grim
truths.

today's world Of International
tensions, who are our friends? A
compilation of United Nations vOt-
ing in the last session shows the
nations we can count on when the
chips are down. Aside from the
big powers of the West, our best
friend is Greece, who voted with

times. and we're recorded with
abstentions. Following behind are:
Turkey, "a to 5 in our favor, with
IL abstentions; Israel IS to g.
With SO abstentions; Pakistan, 80 to
"a. with Is abstentions.
India voted with us 6 times and
with Russia 50 times Mr.. Nasser's
United Arab Republic voted with
us 4 times and against us SO times.
Iraq's record was identical Saudi
Arabia sided with Russia SO times
and with us 6 times. The non
neutrality of the "neutrals" sticks
out all over.
Russia Is Aiming Cuba-Our De-
partment of State has issued So
page factual report about Castro's
Cuba. "As a consequence of Soviet
military aid" the report says,
Cuba has today except for the
U. S, the largest ground forces
in the Hemisphere" Castro's mill
tary manpower is estimated as
high as 10000. His present stra-
tegy is TO provoke revolutionary
situations in other republics of
Latin America Since July, 1860,
many millions of dollars worth
of arms have been pouring into
Cuba from Russia. According to
the report, these have included
Soviets JS-2 51-ton tanks, Soviets
SU-100 assault guns, Soviet T-34 35-
ton tanks, and Soviet field guns in
76-mm., 85-mm., and 122-mm. sizes.
Every action of the Castro regime
is toward the transformation of
Cuba into a Soviet-satellite state"
according to the report.
The Reds Advance In Laos
Twenty years ago there was no
Laos. The Laotian Embassy says
the correct way to pronounce it
is in one syllable rhyming with
house The area of Laos, the
two Vietnams and CambOdia we're
parts of French Indo-China. After
the Reds took over mainland
China, they turned to French
Indo-China. Their immediate goal
was the rich valleys of the Red
River and the Mekong River They
gained this goal by guile, infiltra-
ton, subverSions and abrOit use of
wars fought by people other than
Russian Communists and Chinese
Reds. After 8 years of revolutions,
led by MoscoW-trained natives
and fought with Soviet arms, the
French were exhausted. France,
Britain and the United States
negotiated peace settlement
with the Reds at Geneva. The
Communists got their objective:
the Red River Valley and new
Red satellite, North Vietnam. The

HOW TWO men
AND THIS TELEPHONE
SAVED A LIFE

1t was 8:45 AM. Clyde Taylor, telephone
maintenance man, worked at his test desk
trying to trace the cause of continuous
busy signal on one of the telephones in his
exchange. AS Clyde ran series of trouble
checks, he suddenly thought he heard a low
moaning sound.
He Immediately dispatched one of his
repairmen, George Daniels to the home
where the telephone was located. When no
one answered the doorbell, Mr.. Daniels
looked inside the house through a window.
Lying PROSTATE on the floor was an elderly
man. Beside him on a table was his tele-
phone, the receiver hanging off the hook.
Later, at the hospital, authorities said that
the quick action of this telephone MAIN
tenance team saved this heart attack VIC
TINS life.
We're happy that the desire of telephone
people to be of service so often results in
even more than good telephone service.

Admiral Burke Warns Complac-
ent America-At a hearing held
last week by our Senate Committee
on Armed Services, Admiral Ar
leigh A. Burke testified that the
Soviet navy now includes power
full long-range submarines that
"can operate directly off U. S.
coasts from their bases in Soviet
Russia" The Russians also have
submarines believed to be capable
of launching ballistic missiles, the
top Navy officer told us. He said
that none of the Soviet submarines
is known to be nuclear-pOWered,
as are the newest U. S. Polaris
missile submarines, although he
said the Soviets are working on
atomic-powered underwater craft
and have the capability of produc-
ing them soon.
New Nuclear Policy Adopted
Last week Defense Secretary Nc
Namara dropped a bomb in the
lap of our Committee on Armed
Services when he announced that
it was now White House policy to
ride out" any massive Soviet
nuclear missile attack and then
throw everything we had left back
at them. 1t had been decided by
President Kennedy that the United
States had to be ready to take
beating from a massive Soviet
missile attack because it was con-
sidered too dangerous to do the
alternative: launch a retaliatOry
counterattack before one could be
sure it was the real thing. This
is not a pleasant idea-this riding
out" a massive nuclear attack
and it must have been decided up
on only after much soul-searching
on the part of the President)
1t was because he had
reached this decision that Presi-
dent Kennedy added S2000,000,
900 to the Defense budget - prac-
tically all of it to go to make the
United States counterpunch more
powerful, and more powerful
and more powerful quicker. That
money is to go for Polaris mis-
sile submarines, Minuteman
ICBMs, and a speed-up in missile
training.
