Reds OutseHino Us

At this eleventh hour many
have come to realize that
Christian democracy, VISA
Wis communism, is similar to
the challenge presented to
Elijah by Jezebel's $50 Priests
of Baal. Today we need an
other Elijah to call down the
competitive fire which will
show men the false, treacher-
Gus, shallow nature Of COM
muniSIn.
Surely we must admit
painful as 1t may be to do so,
that communiSm's leaders in
Russia and elsewhere have
a real desire to better the
material life of their peoples;
that they love their countries,
peoples, traditions, and fam
lilies just as we do our own;
that they have known the
pangs of hunger and fear;
and that they are without
horns, bleed when cut, hurt
when bruised, and know joys
and sorrows just as we do.
Their goals are largely the
same as ours, but their meth
ods and means of attaining
them are distaSteful and
death-dealing to our Christ
ian-democratic system. They
intend to engulf and inhale
our system. Shall we let
them?
For q long time a few have
known some Of the secrets
of cornmuniSYn's 20 to 80
years Of cumulative, snow
balling success in selling its
theology in countries around
the world; how it has sub
tly sold its basic theory of
property ownership and con-
troll by government VS. demo-
cracy's theory and practice of
private ownership and con-
troll of property; how Russia
and China have paid the ex-
penses Of tens of thousands
of selected individuals to
come to Red training schools
and return to their home
land prepared to work in the
Communist vineyard for the
day when overt revolution
against real and fancied OPP
preSsions becomes propitious.
Yes, the Communist success
story Of subtle, under-the-
border aggression has sud-
denly dawned upon many of
us for the fearsome ava
lanche 1t really is.
We awaken to confront this
voracious, Unsuitable hydra
of communism already too
solidly implanted in many
countries of the So-called
neutral" and "uncommitted"
world. Haven't we been sell
ling democracy as we'll? I
believe not. 1t is very late in
the game. Let's get going! A
good first step in our effort
to sell democracy more sue
cessfully might be to clearly
spell out for all to see and
know the detailed story of
just how communism has
been doing it's salesman
ship job, and, couple this
with some specific, down-to-
earth suggestions as to how
free men can help to sell our
own product around the
world.
Do we have modern Elijahs
who will be entrusted to lead
us from our great dilemma?
It looks like all of us must
strive nightly to call down
the fire of truth.

Success has been achieved,
DR.. Ramskill said, with a
So-called electrostatic preci-
pitator. 1t handles about
1900 cubic feet of air per
minute with a particle re-
moval Of about SO per cent.
Still, the Navy chemists feel,
this is not good enough and
they now are at work on
other devices.

Electronic parts, for calcu-
lating machines and other
applications, have been so re-
duced in size in the last few
years that now $50, 900 can be
squeezed into a cubic inch.
In certain military elec-
tronic fuze applications even
this number can be increased
as much as ten-fold.
This advance was revealed
by 1t. Gen. Arthur G. Tru-
deau, Army Chief of Research
and Development, in recent
address to officers of the
Signal Corps laboratories at

Great Steps Ahead
"Metallurgy." he said, "has
seen tremendous advances in
the last 10 years and can be
expected to surge beyond the
boundaries of our imagina-
tions in the next few. For
example, it is estimated that
within the next decade we
will have beryllium alloys
with the strength of steel but
only one-fourth the weight.
Shortly thereafter will
come plastics and ceramics
with the same strength
weight characteristics. New
steels with vastly improved
characteristics are in sight
now.
Hardness is another char
acteristic we seek in new ma
terials for structural use in
high temperature engines,
missiles and reactors. In new
ceramics we seek a research
product of such extreme
hardness that, fashioned into
a lathe cutting tool, it will
cut the hardest metals at a
rate many times faster than
conventional steel cutting
tool"

Loshes Back at Miller

The utterances of Con-
gresham William Miller.
new Republican n tiona a l
chairman, before and during
the Vienna conference de-
serve the most severe bipar-
tisan condemnation.
On the eve of these crucial
meetings, Mr.. Miller an
nounced that the American
people have no confidence in
the President. During the
conference, he chopped and
prayed" that Kennedy was
not negotiating an under
the-table deal" with Khru-
shchev in order to regain
lost prestige.
Mr.. Miller is a well-known
vituperator Of Democrats,
who views life through the
foggy glasses of extreme par
tisanship. His talents as a
whip-lashing spokesman for
Republican causes have
served him well in his district
and in helping to elect fellow
Republicans.
But he now speaks with
national authority. While the
American people expect party
chairmen to be politically
prejudiced, they also expect
them to show good judgment
and common sense during
crisis periods. His first days
as chairman have certainly
not been an advantage to
his party or to the Nation.

President Kennedy, in his
frank report to the Nation
regarding his conferences
with Russian Premier Khru-
shchev in Vienna, has given
little hope for a relaxation of
the Cold War. This somber
picture is relieved, however,
by one phase of the PreSi-
dents report - that Mr..
Khrushchev does not want
a shooting war with the
United States and other free
nations. His reason for such
reluctance lies in the military
strength of this country and
its allies. A nuclear war
would be as disastrous to
Russia and the Communist
cause as it could possibly be
to the free world.
President Kennedy did not
attempt in any way to gloss
over the situation or to sug-
gest any real hope Of adjust
ment Of the differences
between the Soviet and the
United States. He did say he
believed it was wise and per-
haps could be valuable to
keep the lines of communica-
ton open between himself
and Mr.. Khrushchev. But
his report was in direct con-
trast with the comments in
Pravda, Russian Communist
organ, which spoke hopefully
of improved relations between
the East and the West, and
merely said that, of course,
it was not possible to- settle
the differences which exist in
two days-differences which
Pravda asserted had grown
UP since the close of World
War II because of the atti-
tude of the United States
Government and the West.
A cynical and untrue state
ment. but typical of the
Communists.
The one possibility (and
that seems slight) for agree
ment, President Kennedy re-
ported, lies in Mr.. Khru-
shchev'S willingness to agree
in principle to a ceasefire in
Laos and a naturalization of
that country. The President
saw no likelihood of progress
toward agreement on disarm-
ament and continued cessa-
ton Of nuclear tests, because
of the veto demands on the
part of the Russian.
Must Defeat Red Efforts
The country is now on no
tice from President Kennedy
it must grid its loins for a long.
hard pull; that it must be
prepared to meet Russian sub
version, infiltration and ap-
peal to the poverty-stricken,
uneducated masses in many
nations which the Commu-
niStS are now seeking to take
over. He took the occasion,
in this report to the Nation,
to make a strong appeal for
backing by the American
people of his foreign aid pro-
gram-set up to aid many of
the backward peoples to a
better life and so to free
dom for themselves.
The really bright spots in
the Presidents report came
in his description Of his well

Oxygen Problem

Work has been Spurred by
realization that the breath
ing problems of a cosmonaut
will be the same, in some re-
spects, as those of the sub
mariner.
First comes the problem Of
a continuous supply of the
gas of life, oxygen. 1t must
be supplied to the sub
marine atmosphere, expert
mentS have shown, at a rate
Of about one cubic foot per
man per day. There are at
least three ways Of making
oxygen, DR.. Ramskill said,
all of which are at least
partially successful. Th e
present favored way is to
carry a supply of lightweight
sodium chlorate candles
which decompose into oxygen
and ordinary salt. The lab
oratory now is running an
experimental farm" for var
ious species of fast-growing
algae which give out oxygen
in their growth process. Fair
ly successful ways have been
developed for getting rid of
various unwanted gases, such
as hydrogen and carbon di-
oxide, produced in connec-
tion with the oxygen-mak-
ing processes and with op-
Grafton of the subs ma
chinery.
A major problem still not
entirely solved, DR.. Ramskill
said, is that of the so-called
"aerosole," the content of
invisibly minute particles in
the atmosphere. 1t has been
determined that at least rs
per cent of these particles
come from tobacco smoke.
Unlimited smoking is allowed
aboard a nuclear submarine
and is considered essential
for morale. Research Labora-
tory chemists do not want to
interfere.
