MeoningfuI Debate

Two able and eloquent members of
the Senate are engaged today in
nleaningful exchange of views on the
most vital issue of our time. 1t is, in
brief, the issue of our policy and behavior
as one of the two leading opponents in
the gigantic struggle to determine the
worlds way of life in the future.
The participants are Democratic
Senator Fulbright of Arkansas, chair
man Of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee, and Republican Senator Gold
water Of Arizona. Each has accorded
to the other special, deserved status of
authority-Mr. Fulbright as the admin
ststration'S chief foreign policy spokes-,
man in the Senate and Mr.. Goldwater
es1SN acknowledged leader of opinion
III his party. Their exchange has not
been an extemporaneous affair. It has
been careful and deliberate, already
extending over several weeks.
Mr.. Fulbright opened this debate on
June 20 with an acknowledgements.
that many Americans have been left
shocked, confused and frustrated by
unmistakable blows" at our prestige in
space achievement, in Cuba, Laos and
Berlin. These setbacks, which he said
have been exaggerated beyond their
true significance, have encouraged the
dangerous doctrine" that we should no
longer hesitate to commit ourselves to
force anywhere as proof of strength
and determination. But world opinion,
he added, expects higher standard of
conduct from this Nation. His formula,
in brief, is to maintain the example of
our own values and ideals, and to con-
tinue help in the economic and social
reforms by which people may attain
their basic goal of freedom
Mr.. Goldwater, answering on July IA,
brushed aside world opinion, which "does
countenance communism" as not worth
counting. We should, he argued, act
like world power, unafraid, and aban-
don the more dangerous doctrine" of
non-intervention, under any circum-
stances. There should be presidential
declaration, he said, that it is our pur-
pose ito win the cold war;" not merely
attain standoft, that total victory"
is the unqualified objective. He has
been challenged promptly by Senator
Fulbright with questions on how this

at winter resorts, the great
majority, even in the winter,
migrate to the hot climates.
Few of us can ..fford Florida
or Bermuda vacations which
would be necessitated by the
proposed change. Many of
the children would get no
summer vacation whatsoever.
In families where there is
more than one child. there
would be great difficulty in
juggling the schedules to as
sure parents of getting their
one given period. This is
not to be glanced over Lightly.
Industry is to a large ex-
tent geared to summer vaca-
tionS. This is the time when
most of their employees want
time off and it is also in
many industries, a slack sea-
son when time off can be
better afforded.
The most important diSad-
vantages associated with Mr..
Whittier's plan, follow from
a consideration of human ma
ture and education. The rock
of society is the family and
with family disintegration
comes disintegration of that
society. The proposed plan
is a great invasion Of the
privacy and unity of the
family.

Billions for Defense

Congressional reaction to the PreSi-
dents call for an increase in defense
strength has moved along two lines
The legislators, both Republican and
Democratic, are proceeding with un-
usual speed to grant Mr.. Kennedy's
military requests. The necessary legiS-
lation may be ready for his signature
within week.
The significance of this, one may
trust, will not be lost upon the Kremlin
For the message it conveys to Mr.. Khru-
Shchev is clear - the United States
stands Squarely behind the President in
firm determination to resist Soviet bel
ligerence, with armed force If necessary.
And the steps required to make certain
of our ability to do this will be taken.
While fully prepared to provide the
additional billions that will be needed
for defense, there is, however, strong
sentiment in Congress for cutting back
on all except truly essential non-defense
spending. This encompasses all ex-
penditureS which, while they may be
desirable, are not absolutely necessary.
The need for this kind of economy
is plain enough. The President con-
cedes that the boosted defense outlays
he wants at this time foreShadow
deficit for this fiscal year, which began
July l, of some SIS billion. He hopes to
submit balanced budget in January,
banking on increased revenues from the
economic recovery which is under way.
This, however, is nothing more than a
guesS-a guess which may be proved
wrong as result of still higher defense
spending or less s-than-hoped-fo rise
in revenue.
Consequently, the prudent course is
to cut down on non essential spending
until the picture clears. If by next year
the hopedfor balanced budget becomes
fact, the money needed for desirable
as distinguished from essential projects
can be spent. Meanwhile, the country
should not be committed to total spend
ing programs which could mean an even
deeper dive into the red ink. Senator
Byrd Is right, we think, when he urges
that military strength must be accom-
panied by fiscal strength if our defense
objectiveS are to be achieved" We hope
the appeal for curtailment of all but
essential spending will be needed.

chance of acceptance. But
that does not mean that
some formula may not be
worked out which would pre-
serve the freedom Of the.
West Berliners and at the
same time reduce the very
real apprehension of the
Soviet government that ag-
greSsion might come from
the West. The cry has gone
up from the Russians ever
since 1945 and the organiza-
ton of the United Nations
as World War II was draw
ing to a close that Russia
must guard itself against
possible attack.
Subverting Other Nations
The unfortunate part, g
however, is the Communists,
not content with guarding
themselves from attack with
a huge Red army, have en-
gagged in aggression through
infiltration and. subversion
in many other nations. They
have tried it in the United
States and continue their
efforts here with great sub
tlety.
President Kennedy laid
stress on the fact he was
asking for increases in the
armed forces designed par
ticularly for conventional,
non-nuclear war. At this.
stage, both the Russians and
the United States have nu-
clear weapons of devastating
power, capable of wiping out
millions of people and their
cities. And if war is started
over Berlin, both the United
States and Soviet Russia may,
be expected to go all out for
victory.
Indeed, as Gen. Eisenhower
and other military leaders
have pointed out, it is folly,
to engage in war unless the
aim is victory and unless, a.
nation is willing to use all
means of attaining victory.
Our nuclear weapon strength.
has for years been the great
deterrent against aggressive
war by the Russian Commu-
nists. But we have had two
Illustrations of the failure to;
press a war to victory, wars in
which nuclear weapons need
not have been used. The
first was the Korean War. The
second was in the Inflated
and recent invasion of Cuba
by forces determined to over
throw the Castro Commu-
nist-dominated government.
We have comforted our
selves in the past by saying
that Soviet Russia does not
want war - a nuclear war
that neither side could ex-
pect to win, that could wipe
out civilization as it exists
today; that Mr.. Khrushchev
is we'll aware of all this as
are we. But no one really
knows what Mr.. Khrushchev
and the Communists intend
or what they will dare. There
fore President Kennedy's
program for improving our
defenses will be welcomed by
many people, even though it
brings great sacrifices.

LETTERS TO THE STAR
Reverberotions From the Third Battle of Manassas

"chariotS" and converge on a
frying pan" that is called
Manassas, or Bull Run, there
to see re-enacted by a couple
thousand overgrown kids in
monkey suits the stimulation
of a horror of mass fratri-
eide, honored a hundred years
later as something great and
noble. Such buffoonery sig
nifies nothing-except that
man in his aspiration for
brotherhood under the most
noble experiment" had then
loSt-and still has not found
his reason for being.
Why, oh why, must our

1t is generally agreed that
the Civil War was the bloodi-
est, most useless, carnage in
history.
1t is utterly incredible to
see the amount of money,
newspaper space, time and ef-
fort given to commemorate
this sad episode of our time.
Lou BrOtt.
H&&
Now that the pagan ritual
at Manassas is over, we can
at least take comfort in the
knowledge that the 200th an
niversary of the glorious"
struggle between the Union
and Confederate forces will
be re~enacted without our
presence. Since the impetus
for this distasteful brawl and
the enthusiasm attendant
upon it seemed to spring
from the unreconstructed
area, I can only conclude that
the Confederates are still
looking for a recount.

to attempt to perpetuate one
of the most horrible episodes

WAKEFIELD, r. 1.-PreSi-
dent John F. Kennedy and
Russian Premier Nikita
Khrushchev have now laid it
on the line. Both have an
nounced programs for in
creasing the armed forces of
their respective countries.
Both have made their de-
mands which are directly op-
posed regarding West Berlin,
and Germany. What are
people Of the United States
and of the world to expect?
Can there be any political
adjustment through diplo-
matte means. or can the is
sues be settled only by war?
Here is the problem which
confrontS the two leaders,
one of the free world and the
other of the Communist bloc.
1t confronts, too, the people
on both sides.
The American people after
listening to President Ken
nedy'S address to the Nation
and to the world Tuesday
night have been informed of
some of the sacrifices they
will be called on to make.
They know, too, that the
President is firmly deter
mined not to leave the 2 mil
lion people of West Berlin to
be gobbled up by the Com
muniSts.
There seems no slightest
doubt they will approve of
what the President is asking
of them. Further, it must be
clear to them that a retreat
by the free world on the
issue of a free West Berlin
would be the rankest kind of
appeasement-of yielding to
political blackmail in Russian
threats of war. President
Kennedy's stand on this issue
apparently is the same as
that of former President
Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Republicans and Demo-
Gratis alike in Congress have
expressed approval of the
Presidents statement, and
they all approve the meas
ures he has recommended.
Backed by NATO
President Kennedy has
made his statement after
full consultation with the
NATO powers. That he will
be backed up by the British,
the French and the Republic
of Germany is virtually as
sured. None of them wants
another Munich with Berlin
substituted.
Wisely, President Kennedy
did not engage in saber rat
ting. He stated firmly the
position from which we will
not bulge and he made it
very clear that if war of
any kind should develop out
of the Berlin situation the
blame would rest squarely on
Communist shoulders. And
the President made it clear
that he was willing to dis
cusS with Mr.. Khrushchev
the whole Berlin situation to
explore approaches to a
peaceful settlement. Neither
side has yet advanced any
real proposal for settlement

spoken and sensible editorial
Sham Battle, railing against
the childish folly of the re-
enactment of the Battle of
Bull Run.
I am the daughter of a
chaplain who was with
his Connecticut regiment
throughout the Civil War, but
1 have lived this far south
all my life. I have heard
plenty of details of the bitter
misery of our family quarrel.
In the land where the fight
ing occurred, much of the
brunt of suffering fell on the
women who had to live and
bear material as well as per-
sonal loss. The bitterness of
that has been passed on as
a precious heritage through
two generations to today.
So, at a time when the
peace of not only this coun-
try, but of the whole world,
is threatened, why should we
put on a show to unearth
resentment, to inflame pas
SionS, that could but remind
us that here where we pro-
claim brotherhood with our
lips to other countries, a CEN
tury ago brother fought
broVher?
War is a hard journey over
a rough road strewn with
broken bodies and broken
hearts, with material destruc-
ton and spiritual anguish.
May God give the leaders in
all nations the strength and
integrity and increasing wis
dom to avoid it in our time.

Brain cells get all clut-
tered up with "ice."
This is offered as an ex-
planation for general anes-
thesia, such as is brought
about by chloroform or
ether, for some other forms
of Inconsistencies, and pos
sibly for the Information of
animals, by DR.. Linus Paul
ing, of California Institute
of Technology, one of the
country's foremost organic
chemists. He reports his
thesis through the American
Association for the Advance
ment of Science.
1t is not exactly ice, he
explains, but a kind of water
crystals that form inside
molecules of brain tissue
under conditions that are
accentuated by anesthetic
agents. The presence of these
crystals interferes with the
normal electrical activity
of the brain cortex which is
essential to ordinary con
sciousness".
Fit Into Brain Cells
The crystals, as DR.. Paul
ing pictures them, are ex-
tremely minute, so that they
are able to fit into "holes''
of the molecules, themselves
invisibly minute, that make
up the brain cells. Anesthesia,
generally, cannot be due to
specific action on these
brain cells. Some substances,
like the element xenon, pro-
duce deep unconsciouSnesS
although it is known that
chemically they are entirely
inert.
The effect of the minute
"ice chunks" lodging in the
brain cells, he points out,
most probably is to delay or
inhibit the passage of nerve
impulses. without which
there can be no conscious
ness.
1T is likely" DR.. Pauling
says. that consciousness and
ephemeral memory involve
electric oscillations in the
brain and that permanent
memory involves a material
pattern (of these oscillations)
in part inherited by the Or
ganism and termed instinct
and in part transferred to
the material brain from the
electric pattern of the ephem-
eral. The detailed nature OF
the electric oscillations con-
stituting consciousness and
ephemeral memory and of
the molecular patterns con-
stituting permanent memory
and of the mechanisms of
their interection Is not
known.
