the bowed head, the contrite
heart, the feeling that Gods
loving kindness was indeed
evident, was an easy and
natural thing.
Worship was as natural a

Christians. There were the
children of parents who had
been thrown to the lions to
make sport for Romans.
There were widows whose
husbands had been crucified
or otherwise murdered. A

now, after having conducted
the atmospheric tests it has

Mr.. Day has used his office
to make a vicious and unprin-

forts to humiliate and dis
credit the individual involved. "
the Senator said in a state
ment issued through his office

Senator Case added that Mr..

The Postmaster General an
nounced Tuesday that he was

worker with great regret" and
described Mr.. Law. a leader in
the Georgia branch Of the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People,
as an unsuitable employe."
But Mr.. Day said he was re-
instating the Negro worker in
order to halt a determined
publicity campaign to make a
martyr of Law"
Senator Case termed Mr.
Days statements " a cruel and
deliberate effort to beSmirch
without Justification"
The Senator said records in
the controversy failed to
sustain Mr.. Days charges OF
statements.
Senator Case said that dur

made that Mr.. Laws activities
in connection with registration

The understanding here hoy
approach to defense against in
coming missiles has been out
lined. no weapon has been pro-
duced.
This assessment is based not
only on Marshal MalinovSky's
statement but on anlySis Of
Soviet atomic test debris and
other data from the expert
ments, including those since
September /.
American scientists have
known for years that neutrons
released from a defensive nu-
clear rocket in space might
touch off an attacking nuclear
missile prematurely if enough
of the neutron flux could be
placed near the warhead.
Missile Defense Use
One of the principal uses Of
the so-called "neutron bomb"
said to be on American scien-
fists drawing boards. would be
for missile defense in space.
But the attacking power
could protect its missiles from
all but near-misses by shielding
according to some theories.
The Kennedy administration
continues to finance research
work on an anti-missile missile
at full tilt but, like the Eisen-
hover administration. has re-
fused Army requests to go
deeply into development and
production until a more re-
liable weapon is in sight.
One of the biggest unSolved
problems has been how to deal
with decoys with which the
attacking powers could vastly
multiply the defense's inter-
ception mission.
Pressing for Program
Army officials still are press
ing for an accelerated anti
missile missile program on the
possibility that United States
intelligence may have miscal-
culated Soviet military progress
as it has in the past, and Mar
shall Malinovsky actually may
have more than theory to back
him.
In an Italian translation OF
the Malinovsky statement, put
out by the Soviet Union, he is
said to have claimed develop
ment of "a new weapon, the
anti-missile missile" This is
the only reference to a weapon
found here, however, and Wash
ington experts regard it as
probably an error in reporting.
