state. On the other hand, Rus
STA is gradually becoming CAPT.
taistic, while the United States
is gradually becoming socialis-
tic. If we can continue fifty
years without a World War III,
there may not be much economic
difference between the East and
the West. This especially applies
to those here who are living
on inherited money and are not
actual workers. The income Of
nonproducers will gradually be
taken away by taxes of various
kinds.
This brings us back to our orr
ginal thought, that well-trained
children are the best security
and insurance. Our President
Kennedy, seeing this change
coming in the distance, is work
ing for legislation to give free
medical service to those who de-
serve it. Already England has
from the womb to the tomb"
coverage; while many other
countries such as Sweden are
trending that way.
l agree with the physicians
that such a program is danger
Gus. ! am even opposed to giving
free obstetrical services. But
some plan could be worked out
whereby the family could get a
tax reduction. directly or indi-
rectly. on each baby born. With
the growing importance Of bah
les, some inducement should be
given for the expenses connected
with their birth and early years.
To bring this about is a basic
purpose Of the Isabel Babson
Memorial. in which I am much
interested.

Your Challenge

IF you are too busy to take an inter-
est in government feel that
getting mixed up in politics is beneath
your dignity or bad for business -
then, at least take time for one thing
teach your children to count in
rubles - they'll need to Nth the
inheritance you're Leaving Them"
This quote is not from an old moss
back, nor from an old man hipped on
the growth of Communism in this ma
ton, but from an address by 17-year-
old student of Pelham, N. Y, winner
of Freedom Foundation Award, WILL
LARD M. WILSON.

over the land. Although the Spanish
commander became alarmed, his adj
visers told him he had nothing to fear.
But the waters continued to rise and,
on September 1, few shallowdraft
vessels and 800 Netherlands sailors be-
gan to sail toward the beseiged city.
Finally, with favorable winds, the
small fleet reached Leyden, driving
away the Spaniards. On the very next
day, furious northeast wind rolled the
ocean back to its bed and the bikes were
repaired before the wind changed.
AS a reward for its gallant stand,
King Phillip issued charter for the
University of Leyden. October is still
celebrated by Hollanders, and by many
tch-Americans in the United States,
many of whom are descendants of the
Dutch who defended the city of Leyden.

This will match the Soviet's
rs divisions in the same general
area East Germany 20; Po-
land 2: and Hungary a. but
will still be far less than the
Communicable total. The
European satellites have a to-
tai Of 81 divisions of their own.
and the Soviets can bring other
divisions from Russia into the
area on short notice.
Nevertheless, a NATO force
Of approximately 80 divisions
with adequate ground and air
support, would give the Western
powers enough muscle to blunt
and perhaps turn any Russian
drive toward the west.
And that in itself would force
upon Khrushchev, rather than
upon the West. the terrible res
possibility of deciding whether
conventional war, if it starts, will
be "escalated" into an about
nuclear war.
In the meanwhile, the West
continues to improve its state
of preparedness with two major
goals in mind: To active true
combat readiness for whatever
form the conflict may take, and
to let Khrushchev and company
know that such readiness exists.
Despite the Western aversion
to threats Of nuclear attack,
whether from East or West.
there seems little doubt but that
the NATO FORCES If the occa-
sion demands-stand ready to
use atomic weapons whenever, to
extent, and in whatever manner
may be necessary for the de-
tense Of the treaty nations in
Europe.

An Old, Old Story

ONE of the greatest stories Of hero
ism was written at Leyden, Holland,
in 1573-74. October 3 is an annivers-
airy sacred to all Hollanders, for it was
on that date, in 1874, that Hollanders
= calling on help from the sea ~ drove
the Spaniards from Leyden.
Leyden is one of the most beautiful
cities of the Netherlands. The Span
ish began their seige of the city in Oc-
tober. of 1873. The resistance of the in
habitants was spurred by the tyranny
of the Spanish, which had become we'll
known all over Europe. These in
habitants held out until their food was
practically exhausted and then, on Au-
gust 3, 1874, bikes were broken down
in 16 places and the gates at Schie-
dam and Rotterdam were opened.
The sea came through and flowed

NATO Is Answer To Khrushchey

PARIS Khrushchev's buster
over Berlin is having major
side effect he did not intend -
build-up in the North Atlantic
Treaty forces which oppose him
In Europe.
No one at Supreme Headquar-
tiers Of the Allied Powers in Eur
ope is making light Of the threat
in Germany. But there is sober
rejoicing over the fact that all
Is members Of the North At
lantic alliance now see the clear
and present need for bolstering
their defenSes.
Americans are aware that the
United States already is beefing
up its NATO forces in Germany
with more men, material, and
firepower. It now is known that
10000 troops Of the active army
are beefing up those already in
Europe. augmenting the five
U. S. division in Germany and ad-
ding to the nondivisional strength
Of the U. S. Forces.
One significant feature of the
U. S. build-up is the mechanical
ton Of the three infantry div
isions through the introduction
Of armOred personnel carriers
and additional motor transport.
But the United States is not
alone in this reinforcement ef-
fort. The other NATO countries
likewise are sharing in the in
crease. although no one in au-
thority is willing at the moment
to pin-point the degree of build
upon a nation-by nation basis.
All this is aimed at bringing
the allied forces somewhere
nearer to the 80 divisions which
NATO leaders want on hand
along the mid-section of the Iron
Curtain. At present. the NATO
strength in central Europe runs
to about % and 1-3 divisions, as
follows: United States - S;
France 2 plus: the Netherlands
= 2; Belgium 2: the United
Kingdom 3; West Germany
8; and Canada third Of a
division.
When Germany adds the four
more divisions for which it is
committed, and when the French
put in two more divisions, NATO
strength along the line will ex--
coed % divisions.
