ceptions. one and the same.
THE point Mr.. Thomson Is
actually making is that he and
the Byrd machine feel that they
have such a stranglehold in
Alexandria that no one should
attempt to rlG against them. ="
McCann Denies It
Mr.. McCann categorically de-
MED the charge and said: IF
I had any intention Of with
drawing, I would never have
accepted the Republican NOM
ination in the first place.
Il was curious about the re-
count results. I was invited
and went directly to the source.
I was asked by the incumbent
(Mr. ThomSon) and his sup
porters if I was going to with
draw and 1 said no.%
Mr.. Colby last night attacked
the nomination of Mr.. McCann
by "26 ultra conservatives in
some hot room" He also criti-
cized massive resistance and the
Sunday blue law.
Hitting at Mr.. Thomson, Mr..
Colby said anyone who advo-
Gates the overthrow of our pub
lie education system must be
defeated by an avalanche Of
votes on November T."
Mr.. Colby quoted from a
speech in which Mr.. Thomson
said he wrote 80 per cent OF
the massive resistance legisla-
ton.
ASsails Blue Law
Turning to the blue law, Mr..
Colby said the statute is so
old fashioned as to be ridicu-
louS."
Mr.. McCann devoted his time
to outlining his election plat
form, which calls for elimina-
tion Of the personal property
tax and bigger exemptions for
children on the State income
tax.
Mr.. McCann said the reve-
nue. losses could be made up
by more stringent economy in
government.

Messages

President Kennedy last week
wired Premier Khrushchev
Americas congratulations on
the successful launching of
Soviet rocket toward Venus. He
got a friendly reply.
Soviet science scored another
spectacular first" last Sunday. A
huge "piggy-back" rocket, hurled
aloft from a Soviet launching pad,
itself launched another space We
hicle when it was hundreds Of
miles away from the earth. The
second rocket, successfully sent on
its way, is now en- route to the
planet Venus and is expected to
arrive. if all goes we'll, in late
May.
Mr.. Kennedy wired his con-
gratulations to the Kremlin, and
repeated his hope, first expressed
in his inaugural address, that the
Soviet Union and the United
States could cooperate in explor-
alton of outer space.
In reply, Mr.. Khrushchev ac-
cepted, at least in principle, the
suggestion of joint. cooperative
efforts between the two nations.
In addition. he assured Mr.. Ken

or to shatter its effectiveness. The

they said, was meant to emphasize
the Kremlin's conviction that the
U. N. secretariat. as presently
constituted, was a tool of the
Western powers.
Mr.. Khrushchev may very we'll
succeed in bringing about a greater
measure of executive participa-
tion by the nations of the Soviet
bloc in U. N. affairs. But his
present resolution before the. Sc
curity Council has no chance Of
passing.
In. any case. however, it was
becoming clearer as the stormy
week ended that a gratifying large
number of small-nation members
at the U. NJ were going to think
long, seriously and very cautiously
before lending their votes to any
move that would lessen the eff
fectivenesS of the U. N. in world
affairs. AS Mr.. Kennedy pointed
out on Wednesday, each nation.

in the U. NJ Assembly with the
great powers. This, the small ma

invaluable protection for them.

5. DISABILITY: Pensions pro-
vide relatively high percentage
OF pay for those with low earnings
who are permanently and totally
disabled and, conversely, a low
percentage Of earnings for those
partially disabled or with high
wages.
6. SURVIVOR BENEFITS:
Available under formulas similar
to those used for disability pay.
7. FAMILY ALLOWANCES:
Given both to children Of large
families and to unmarried moth
ers. Although the payments per
child increase with the size Of
the family, the American observers
note that the birthrate in the
Soviet Union is actually relatively
low.
In addition to these cash bene-
fits, the Soviet Union provides
through various agencies medical
services, counseling services, child
care, summer camps, recreational
and cultural facilities for persons
Of all ages.
Records in LOnehdhd
The American observers found
much to admire in the admins
tration Of the Soviet Social Secur-
ity system, despite the fact that
modern techniques of mechanic
ing and automating operations
were lacking. In many Of the
offices they visited, records were
kept in longhand, rather than
being typewriter; calculations
were made on a abacus, rather
than an electric machine, and
payments were made in cash,
rather than by check.
Nonetheless. they were impressed
by the success of the Soviets' in
service training programs for
social security employees, by the
emphasis on, and results of re-
search on disability and welfare
programs, by the steps taken to
decentralize administration of the
program, and by the techniques
of determining disability and find
ing employment for the partially
disabled.
The Americans who made the
tour, part of a Soviet-American
cultural exchange program, were:
Charles I. Schottland, former
commissioner of Social Security;
Victor Christgau, director Of the
Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors
Insurance; Robert j. Myers, chief
actuary Of the Social Security
Administration; Arthur E. Hess,
assistant director of the Division
Of Disability Operations in the
Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors
Insurance, and Corinne H. Wolfe,
chief of the Division of Technical
Training of the Bureau of Public
Assistance.

At the u. NJ:
Challenge

The Soviet Union last week
demanded again that Secretary
General Dag Hammarskjold
resign and that the u. N. Op-
Grafton in the Congo be ended
in 80 days.
Selling on the murder of Pa
trice Lumumba for new OPEN
ing, the Soviet delegation at the
U. N. on Tuesday launched an
attack on Mr. Hammarskjold and
the U. N. Secretariat that ap-
preached the savage in bitterness.
Ambassador Valentin A. Zorin
issued a formal statement by the
Soviet government that bluntly
accused the Secretary-G General o.
direct completely in the death OF
the pro-Communist ex-Premier.
Mr.. Hammarskjold, the statement
said, was IAN accomplice and Or
ganizer Of the murder" of Lu-
mumoa.
From the very first day of
the realization of the so-called
United Nations operation in the
Congo, Mr.. Hammarskjold acted
in the interests OF the Congo's
enemies-Belgian and other CO.
lonialists," the Moscow statement
charged. THE whole world
knows" it went on, that the
Congolese Province of Katanga
:. is governed from Brussels with
Belgian money, with Belgian arms,
and Belgian officers which
form the backbone of Tshombe's
armed gangs"
The Russians demanded that
the U. N. get out of the Congo,
lock, stock and barrel, within 80
days. They also declared an Of
ficial boyvott of Mr.. Hammar-
skiold, and called for his dismissal
as a minion of colonialism and
for "his foul betrayal of the in
terests of the Congolese people"

ington were saying privately that

cost anywhere from IS billion to

one:
1T is my opinion, based on my
information, that the Russians
have a large. a very large anti
missile effort and have had for
some time" DR.. Richard S. Morse,
Army research director, asserted.
The Importance OF this intelli-
gence. as voiced by Army generals,
is that if the Soviet builds an ef-
fective missile defense before we
do the present balance Of power
could be upset.
Mr.. Mcnamara doubtless will
take note of what the Russians
are doing. But whether their
understandable interest in self
protection should regulate the

oatable.

The prospect is, therefore, that
the Soviet capability for propell-
ing larger weights greater dis
tances will continue to exceed ours

Nor should it be suggested that
because we will be able to do in
1865 somewhat more than the
Russians have demonstrated they
can do now means the booster gap
then will be closed. The Russians,
unfortunately, will not be sitting
on their hands for the next five
years.
Spoeeship Mission
There is another aspect of the
Venus shot which deserves closer
consideration.
The mission of the Soviet space
ship demands accuracies Of guild
ance and control far beyond those
of any American probe to date.
According to some experts, the
Soviet vehicles speed must be
precise to within DOL per cent to
come within Al 900 miles Of Venus.
To hit or orbit this planet would,
Of course, take an even greater
order of accuracy.
1t should be noted, in this con-
nection, that substantial increases
N accuracy were obtained by the
Russians as they went from Sput-
mix I to Lunik I, which approached
The moon, and to Lunik II, which
landed on it.
Thus, while we have concen-
trated with substantial success on

spirits. NASA put its vanishing"

Space:
Hard Facts

The Soviet Union last week,
= in perhaps its most spectacular
space shot to date, successfully
fired an interplanetary vehicle
from an Orbiting earth satellite
and sped 1t on its way toward
Venus.
You can't buy back four years
when you started work four years
after they did"
Thus did DR.. Hugh L. Dryden,
deputy chief of the National
Aeronautics and Space Admin
.. istration, present the hard facts"
Of the space race between the
United States and Russia for the
consideration of Congress and the
American people.
What he meant, of course, was
this:
The Russians began work on
big booster engines, an absolute
necessity for deep-space probes
and for lifting large weights into
orbit of the earth, four years
before we did. They now have
booster Of perhaps 100000 to
100000 pounds Of thrust; our
largest, the Atlas, has a thrust
of 100000 pounds.
The Dryden statement on
Wednesday. like an earlier esti-
mate given by another NASA
official and later one by Presi-
dent Kennedy, was provoked by
the tremendous scientific-engi-
neering feat registered by the
Soviet Union early last Sunday.
Flight Toward Venus
1t was then that the Russians
fired a seven-ton satellite. carry
ing 1,4l5-pound deep-space
vehicle piggy-back. into an orbit
OF the earth. Soon after, on a
command signal from the ground.
the smaller spaceship was launched
on an interplanetary flight toward

ship is due to reach the vicinity
