his nation hopes for the main
tenance of world peace.
THE United States" Mr..
Kennedy said, has pledged
itself to bear any burden and
meet any hardship to assure
the survival and the success of
liberty. We seek to replace the
rule of law for the rule Of
force in the international COM
munity, and we have renewed
our pledge of support to the
United Nations as the best hope
to achieve this end.
The dangerous problems of
the day, we are convinced, can
and should be solved by sincere
negotiation so that a just and
durable peace may be eStab-
lished FIRMLY, and the energies
of all nations may be directed
to the improvement of living
standards and the pursuit of a
better and happier life for all
peoples
Red Motive Studied
Within the Kennedy admin
istration, a prime question of
the moment was what purpose
the SovietS had in launching
their new nuclear tests. In
formed members of Congress
said the prevailing opinion is
that the tests are aimed at
developing anti-miSsile missiles.
Before the Acc made its an
nouncement on the fourth So

out from the new Russian tests
had been detected Tuesday in
Alaska. He said analysis showed
radiation levels al 35 times the
average daily levels for August.
United States Surgeon Gen.

was no immediate health dan
ger from the fallout.
NeutralS' Letter
The letter sent to Mr.. Ken

clared an appeal to big powers
to renew and continue negoti-
atoms in order to remove the
danger of war in the world so
that mankind can move along
the road TO peace"
I'VE especially demand that
direct negotiations start (be-
tween Mr.. Kennedy and Mr..
Khrushchev) as representatives
Of the two most powerful ma =
lions today who hold the keys
to peace and war"
Stresses Preparation
Mr.. Kennedy has taken the
position that a summit con-
ference to negotiate on Berlin
should be carefully prepared in
advance and the preparation
should provide some evidence
that the conference would be
successful in producing a solu-
ton.
At present officials here are

FROM RULE TO RUIN

Russia is so overwhelming power now
that it is hard to imagine any other nation
dominating northern Europe. Yet some $50
years ago Sweden was dominant.
Today a minor state so peaceful that
she stayed out of both world wars, Swed-
en- in the 18th century, had the strongest
army in Europe. A succession of great kings
had built up powerful state. Then came
the most brilliant monarch of the whole
line whereupon Sweden, ironically, became
a second rate power.
Charles XII of Sweden was one of the
great generals of his time. A new life by
Frans G.. Bengtsson, the Swedish novelist,
describes his career. When he became king
at Is, the neighboring states thought it safe
to combine and divide up the Swedish state.
But Charles defeated Denmark, Saxony,
Poland and Russia in quick succession. His
victory over the Russians at Narva was
as overwhelming battle as any in history.
Unfortunately, Charles did not know
when to stop. Like Napoleon and Hitler
later, he let the Russians draw him far a
way from his bases. Poltava, where Peter
the Great beat him in 1909, made Russia
the greatest northern power and is one of
history's decisive battles How decisive, ev-
entS in our time have grimly shown.

ANCESTRY STUDIES ARE GOOD HOBBIES

The study of ancestry has been
a hobby of mine and l recommend
it to other businessmen as a
change from collecting stamps
and similar means of keeping ones
mind employed. Studying ances-
try is a most fascinating and sur
prising avocation. Furthermore, it
means we are collecting new and
permanent data which can be be-
queathed to our heirs. All such
work which we do is cumulative
and can be carried on further by
others after our death.
Those who have the time should
interest their children and grand
children in the laws of heredity,
including genes and chromosomes
and the new polymer sciences
which may completely upset the
orthodox theories of heredity. If
we could interest our teenagers
in the polymers, it might result in
much happier marriages and more
useful grandchildren.

ENTITLED TO A CHOICE

There may be deep significance in the
recent US. Senatorial election in Texas.
The winner, college professor John G. Tow
er, is the first Republican ever elected to
this office by Texas voters. And, partisan
political considerations to one side, he is an
unqualified conservative. He is unequivoca-
lily opposed to any and all welfare state"
proposals such as the compulsory health
programs and federal aid to education. He
believes in a free market for agriculture,
and in the right to work laws
The possible significance of this lies in
the fact that it is not an isolated example
of resurgence of traditional conservatism.
For example, Senator Barry Goldwater of
Arizona, whose views are similar to those
of Senator-elect Tower, has developed re-
markabley large national following. Great
numbers of people, it is clear, are deeply
concerned with the drift in this country
toward a monolithic, do everything for
everybody state, operated on a deficit basis
despite crushing and punitive taxes, and
are seeking ways to stem the tide
In any event. all should welcome the
rise OF reasoned opposition to the centrali-
zatlon of power in Washington. The Am
erlcan people are entitled to a choice-and
fortnight, personable and dedicated con-
servatives, liberals, and middle of the road
ers must all join in the political trays if
that choice is to exist.

PART OF A PACKAGE

National Defense Transportation Day
was recently observed. 1t pointed up the
fact that there is more to defense than
ships and planes and missiles. AS the Presi-
dent put it, speaking in his capacity as
Commander-In-Chief, the occasion provid-
ed"-"an opportunity for the citizens of
each community to recognize and appreci-
ate fully the vital role of a great modern
transportation system in their daily lives
and in our national defense"
All the means of transportation make
important contributions to defense, but
railroads are pre-eminent in serving the
peacetime economy. They reach $4,000
communities over 100000 miles of steel
roadway. In time of crisis, they have a
unique and priceless ability to get the max
imum of transport out of existing plant
and equipment and to adjust quickly to
changing conditions They carry nearly
half of the nations intercity freight load,
and in time of war the proportion is much
higher. AS leading military men have testi-
fled time and time again, on the basis of
hard experience in war, the railroads have
unmatched advantages in heavy capacity,
high mobility, coordinated operations, re-
gional fleXibility, tough durability, and &C.
Onomy in using scarce resources.
And the railroads are moving with the
times. For instance, railroadmen are work.
ing with other interested groups on plans
for mobile missile-firing trains. These elu-
sive launching pads, mounted on special
rail cars would be capable of firing the in
tercontinental Minuteman missile from al
most any point in the country.
The moral: Healthy railroads and a
strong national defense are part of the same
package.

collecting pine cones for some new
fad. The dearth of lovely woods
and even evergreens on the lawns
in Kansas l missed more than /
realized. Near our new home in
Alexandria there is the Mount
Vernon Memorial Drive and for
miles the highway is scented with
pine and at ether seasons of the
year one can see millions of dog
wood trees. It's beauty that will
take me a long time to get used

And then there are the stamp
collectors. People in Kansas are
SO wraught with paying pennies
for sales tax that dishing out

SHRUNKEN WORLD

Fortunately, not all legislative proposals
are controversial. Some are given near un-
anlmOuS support. That seems to be the case
with the bill to establish an office of Inter
national Travel. Offices will be located in
key locations abroad with the purpose of
encouraging travel to this country and to
provide interested people with information
they want and need
We have been the only nation of any
consequence without such a travel service.
That lack has been costly We suffered
what might be termed ''travel deficit of
about billion dollars last year That was
the difference between what American
tourists spent abroad and visitors from a.
broad spent with us. 1t is one reason why
our gold reserves declined.
Moreover, the government is taking
some other long needed steps, 1t is relaxing
old and needless rules which discouraged
and sometimes even insulted prospective
tourists to this country, and is simplifying
the visa procedure.
The jet airplane has shrunk the world.
European recovery has given great num-
bers of people the wherewithal to visit the
United States. Steps that can be taken to
capitalize on this are all to the good. And

ALL THAT'S NEEDED IS THE CHANGE
The advocates of gigantic federal elect
ric power grids are busy again. They want
to pretty well blanket the country with
these proJectS-on, of course q SocialiZed
tax free, tax subsidized basis.
Going by some of their claims. one
would suppose that only the government is
capable of doing jobs of this scope and size.
So an item the New York Times recently
carried is of special interest.
1t tells of the plans of a group of in
vestor-owned utilities to build a 1000 mile
network of extra-high-voltage transmission
lines linking an eight state area in the
Southwest. The cost is estimated at more
than $500 million and all of it would come
from private investment, not from the tax
payers. 1t would be designed for initial op-
GRAFTON at 345,000 volts and provision
would be made for raising the voltage to
100000 if needed. Regular high-tension
lines operate at $4,000 volts.
What is true Of the Southwest is true of
the whole country. 1t can't be emphasized
too often that any needed job of power
supply, from any kind of fuel, can and will
be undertaken by taxpaying, publicly reg
ulated utilities if they are given the chance.
