Halleck, is overdrawing the pic
ture, The word "exaggeration"
creeps more and more into the
propaganda put out by Republican
national headquarters.
In his talk Kennedy said we
are in a bad situation, militarily
and economically.
Certainly none Of us, not even
the President, can be sure Of what
our military position Is in the
world. He must depend on intellig-
ence work, which is haphazard at
best. He also must rely on men in
the Pentagon who have a vested
interest in over-stating our plight.
He also depends on others who
have an equally vested interest in
telling him that our position is
strong; If it were not they would
be guilty Of negligence.
But in the area Of domestic af-
fairs the facts are easily ascertain
able and subject to immediate YER
ification.
What are the basic facts which
led Mr.. Kennedy to say, The
American economy Is in trouble?
Basically this Is what he referred
to:
There are now $500, 900 people
out Of work-or seven per cent of
all those willing aid able to work.
In December, 1860 unemploy-
ment reached its highest point in
20 years.
There have been four postwar re-
cessions, after which the level of
joblessness has each time stabil-
lied at a higher point.
There are 100 communities now
regarded as "chronically" dis
tressed.
HEAD IN THE SANDH It Is no
answer to tell the unemployed, or
the small businessman who is
threatened by bankruptcy, that the
great majority Of Americans are
well off. To him the immediate
problem is survival, not a statis-
teal examination of how someone
else is doing.
Nor can we rely on that old
Eisenhower formula that the situa-
ton will take care of itself. and
our only danger is that we talk"
ourselves into a depression.

advancing at the slowest rate of
growth Of any Of the important
western powers. Many workers are
jobless because it now takes fewer
people to produce the same amount
Of goods than 1t did three years
ago. In fact we can turn out near
ly as much with 1/5 fewer en-
ployees.
What Messrs. Halleck and his
fellow Republicans suggest, is
either that we delude ourselves, or
quit talking about such upleas-
antries.
Within a few days the new Presi-
dent will send to Congress a vari-
ETY. Of messages on special prob
lens, ranging from unemployment
to medical care for the aged. 1t
seems safe to assume despite his
dire warnings that he will not
come up with extreme" remedies
for our problems. The situation Is
not yet that acute. What he pro-
poses is likely to be moderate"
and balanced.
The point that Messrs. HalIeck
and company seem to miss Is
that there Is q certain order Of
PriOrities that should be followed
II we are to avoid the sort Of
domestic cataclysm that hit us
in the SOS.
First 1t Is important to recog-
nize the nature Of the malady, and
its degree. Second, 1t Is vital that
we begin taking short-range steps
to prevent conditions from grow
ing worse. Finally, it Is necessary
that we take long-range steps to
allow the economy to begin grow
ing and thriving again, to regain
that vitality that has been tradi-
tional in this country.
Perhaps there were ways to
arouse the country, other than hav-
ing the President Of the United
States personally sound the alarm.
That point is arguable. Yet several
skeptcal Congressman said: Lis
tening to his speech was as bracing
as going Into a cold shower after
a tepid bath"
Whatever else may be said about
the new President, no one viii ac-
cuse him Of lulling the nation to
sleep.

Navy League Convention Symposium SaIutes Naval Aviation's 50th Amy

 "Seapower Symposiums were or iginated by the Navy Leagues Dis trict of Columbia Council in 1957," according to Council President Charles M. Featherstone, Jr., ito tell the public the latest accomp- lishments of scientific and tech nical research for America's mill tary arsenal. Each Symposium fo- cuses on specific area of Amer ica's defense posture with em- phasis on the Navy's role," he said.
 These Symposiums have at- tracted worldwide attention be- cause of their use as a platform for publicity unveiling new weap- ons. The Regulus II surface to sur face missile, the Polaris missile sys- tenn and the Marines revolutionary XM-70 rocket booster rapidfire howitzer all were introduced to the nation at these sessions.

The Navy League of the United States commemorates naval avia- tion's 5Oth anniversary with an Air Seapower Symposium highlighting the Leagues 59th national annual convention, May 23-27, in the na- tion's capital.
 The convention will be attended by several members of the Kodiak Chapter of the Alaska Council of Navy Leagues.
 This 1861 edition of the interna- tionally famous Seapower Sym posium, series, held in Washington each year, will review the contribu- tions of Navy and Marine airmen to the evolution of flight since 1911. Naval aviation became airborne on January Is of that year, when pilot Eugene Ely, flying Curtiss bi- plane, landed on and took off from 1HO-4OoI pldtlOlul oli LllC otCl H of the USS Pennsylvania in San Francisco Bay.
 The metarmorphosis of naval aviation from its earliest clumsy biplanes to the sleek supersonic aircraft of today will be depicted in numerous military and industry exhibits at both the Sheraton-Park and Shoreham hotels where the convention is being held. Historic planes, famous for their record ac- complishments, will be displayed on the hotel grounds alongside life size mockups of the latest missiles and rockets.

a delegate from one of the

she belonged at the time.

One of the things for
which oldtime local residents

the Farmerette movement in
those days when she first
came here. Very much like
the Victory Garden move
ment of World War II, the
idea was for local residents
to raise their own vegetables.

Army Secretary Stair Puzzled
By Mr.. Brucker's Criticism

Secretary Of the Army Elvis
Stair, jr. replied last night
to charges made earlier this
week by his predecessor,
former Secretary of the Army
WILDER Brucker, regarding
the November 8 air crash OF
IA Army recruits near Rich
mond.
Without sign of rancor
the Secretary made a state
ment when asked what he
thought of the charges,
shortly after he arrived at a
party with Mrs. Stahr. The
party, at the Fort McNair
Officers Clun, was given by
Army Chief Of Staff George
Decker in honor of the
Pakistan Ariny's visiting
commander-in-chief, Gen.
Mohammad Musa.
(In a speech in Detroit on
Tuesday, his first commen-
tary on national military
policy since leaving office
last January, Mr.. Brucker,
according to news accounts
charged that the recruits
were transported aboard a
rattletrap plane, handled as
indifferently as one might
ship cordwood." He also was
reported to have said I'VE
hear nothing from the Secre-
tary of the Army. Is it be-
cause we have so muffled the
military voice that it fears
to speak?")
Mr.. Stahr said he was "un-
able to tell what Mr.. Bruck-
er'S point was, because the
news report I saw was OBJ
viouSly incomplete. don't
think he was talking about
procedures for the airlift of

cedures were the ones estab-

Secret ofHer Longevity:
She's Still Busy at 20

In her twenties, Mrs. Ber-
tina Taylor Voorhorst wanted
to be an architect but she
was told architecture is not
q suitable profession for a
woman"
Yesterday Mrs. Voorhorst
celebrated her Goth birthday
and it was clear that the
secret of her longevity has
been a busy mind and hands.
Though now almost blind
she learned to read braille
eight years ago when her
sight first began to go. Now
she's at work figuring out
how a more simplified sys-
tenn of braille can be taught
to children.
Still Spry
Its one way Tor me to
kill time" said this spry
nonogenarian as she cele-
brated her entrance into the
COS with old friends at a
birthday party yesterday in
her honor at the Women's
City Club.
Mrs. Voorhorst is a life
member of the Women's City
Club. A fellow member, Mrs.
Ruth Groesbeck, gave the
party.
Asked how it felt to reach
90, she said 1T feels as if
you're taking a new lease on
life in some respects. l don't
hear or see very well, but I
manage. 1 try to keep my
mind working. I've had good
health all my life and I've
had to keep busy"
Born on a farm near Fort
Scott, Kans. in 1871. Mrs.
Voorhorst lived the hardy life
typical of those days. Il did
chores in my early life" she
recalled. In fact I was more
of a farm boy than a farm
girl"
Mrs. VoorhorSt's bid to an
architectural career cam e
when she was about 25. She
was working at the Forest
Park University in st. Louis,
a girls boarding school, and
took an interest in the new
annex that was being built
on the school.
Suggested Changes
She suggested d some
changes to the architect and
he was so impressed, she re-
called, that he suggested she
60 study it. But when she
apple d the architectural
school turned her down ad-
viSing her that architecture
was not a suitable profession
for woman, and besides
they didn't take women"
Mrs. Vooorhorst studied
shorthand and embarked on
a career of convention re-
porting. 1t began with the
st. Louis Exposition in 1904.
She was then called to
Portland, Greg. to cover a con-
vention and there met her
future husband. After their
marriage they lived in Port
