In this instance, the Har-
ris poll was used to effect
a candidacy, a technique for
which the mayor bears at
least partial responsibility.
One Of the disappointed, Rep
resentative Samuel Stratton,
has attacked it and expects
to take before the convention
his charge that Mr.. Harris
is "a graSping, power-mad
kingmaker, not elected to or
removable from party office"
What Mr.. Stratton wants
to know is how the Harris
company made It's sampling,
what questions it asked and
where, and how wide was its
range. 1t would seem as a
practical matter that he has
little recourse should Mr..
Harris choose not to answer.

will the passage Of a resolu-
ton authorizing the call for

makes no mention Of Cuba,

Intervention in Cuba by the

Not a word has been
spoken publicly to Moscow,
moreover. by the Washington
government about her vio-
lation Of the Monroe Doctrine
in shipping to Cuba arms and
"technicians." Does this mean
that the administration ac-
Quiesces in the Soviet move
and that all that's necessary
now for the Communists to
gain a foothold in a Latin
American country is to in
filtrate a government there,
call the military buildup

States will not object?
The same hesitation and
vacillation that characterized
American policy between
1914 and 1917 and between
1889 and 1941 are being re-
peated. The end result then
was war, because America
was believed to be unwilling
or unable to fight. At least
in those days, however-both
with respect to protesting the
violation of American rights
on the high seas and in
supplying destroyers to the
British navy - the United
States wasn't entirely in
active or inarticulate, though
at no time in the pre-war
period was the German gov
ernment convinced that the
United States would fight.
Is entry into a world war
the only way a nations
resoluteness can be ex-
pressed? There are many
measures short Of war-a sea
and aerial blockade Of Cuba
and an economic boycott of
East Germany and Of the
Communist bloc - which
could multiply Moscow's trou-
bles and prevent a major war.

Changing Character of Military Needs
Shifts Contracts to New Areas

ary changes in weapons for
defense and attack in case
Of aggression against this
country create revolutionary
changes in manufacturing
processes - and locations Of
plants.
In 1858 production line
items were a major portion
of military purchases. In
1861 this was no longer true.
In the 1960s the emphasis is
on research and develop
ment and upon fewer - but
vastly more expensive, and
more complex - weapons.
The Second World War saw
long production lines. Hun
dreds Of thousands of men
and women were trained as
riveters in aircraft produc-
ton. Huge presses stamped
out wings for bombers, and
fighter craft. Metal fabricat-
ing plants turned out mil
lions of sections, engines,
parts, ct cetera. Millions of
workers did small, assembly
tasks.
In the 1960s there are re-
latively few "blue collar"
workers. The image of de-
fense production today is

nauts. and of atomic and nu-

Expenditures for the de-
tense of the United States
are now almost 10 per cent
Of the Nations gross national
product.
The military, plus civilian
employees, make up about 10
per cent Of the work force.
These two statistics dram
atize the major role played
by national defense in the
Nations economy. To this
we must add understanding
that as space explorations,
scientific and military, de-
velop and expand with new
discoveries and techniQues,
the effect on the work force
and the economy will not
merely increase, but will
further distort the picture.
Much of the United States
labor force long ago be-
came used to a certain mo-
bility. The war days saw
hundreds Of thousands Of
workers and their families
create trailer camps of size
and substance. The skilled
workers moved as new war

Production shifts can be
precipitous. In 1858, the last
year of the Korean War,
tanks, other vehicles, weapons
and ammunition, plus con-
struction and other types of
commercial equipment, con-
stituted so per cent Of the
goods delivered to the mill
tary. BY 1861 these were
only IL per cent of the prime
contract awards. In eight
years the requirement pat
tern had changed from one
half to one-eighth.
In 1858, as the Korean
War armistice ended the
shooting, missiles accounted
for a mere 0.5 per cent of
hard goods" military deli
veries. BY 1861 they account
ed for 1876 per cent. With
this statistic must go an
other. ElectronicS contracts
in 1853 were 11.2 per cent OF
the total. BY 1861 this figure
was changed to 18 per cent

suaded that nature has some
special interest in their own
survival. So these discussions
have been essentially exer-
cises in morality-the luxury
always enjoyable when sur
vival is assumed. We have
been living on intellectual
dessert all month.
The only rebuttal is the
occasional sound of a mill
tary jet from the Air Acad-
emy, so high above even this
altitude that Shangri La must
look, to the pilot, quite flat
and unexceptional. When you
think about the jet, it's sound
is a waspish Bronx cheer,
and moral concepts seem en-
barrassingly pointless.
The group thinking here
has been wide and top lofty.
We have gosSiped about the
nature Of man, juggled phi
loSophies, empires and eras.
All of us exhibited 1920
hindsight and made it per-
fectly clear what the age of
the embattled religion, the
age Of exploration, the age Of
the industrial revolution had
done to and for the human
race. We plucked but feebly
at the age of science, the
present age. While the mill

Even to a jump-seat phi

this age of science has to be,

mans final epoch or era.
This age of science has no
natural limits we know of,
and what is dawning on us
now is that it is also uncon-
trollable. Science simply does
not know what it is doing or
where it is going, in any
universal sense; and If the
good it does is fundamental,
the damage it does is abso-
lutely unrepairable. We stand
just at the faint beginning
of both the good and the evil,
and mans big brain - in
existence for only an instant
