because the work was approved

of the practice must be COM
pleted and reported to tn ASC
County office by the date shown

If a farmer receives approval
for a practice and then finds that
he is unable to carry it out, he
should report this to his county
committee, Iversen explained.
This may enable the committee
TO approve another practice for
him or some other farmer in the
county.
This year, according to the

for conservation practices to be

as completed on 1877 County farms.

return to sanity, 1t will be
in but not because of that
forum.
Rather, it will be because
he has recognized that the
power of the United States is
too great for successful chal-
lenge. Intermediates may be
useful; they may provide
house room for the making
of decisions. But a hundred
U. N. resolutions in support
of the United States-in the
highly unlikely event that
the U. N. will ever do more
than give bare and partial
understanding to our problem
of survival-will solve Moth
ing at all.
The Big Design
Mr.. Khrushchev will bend,
if he does bend, because
he has recognized that the
United States has at last put
its true trust in honorable
power honorably used for the
ultimate and unarguable pur-
pose of self defense.
Seen in this light, the new
Kennedy Doctrine is far more
than a sanitation of Cuba,
as it is far more, even, than
a signal of a conformation in
the cold war everywhere. In
vasion of Castro Cuba to
clear out the Soviet missile
sites would be only an Incl
dent in a vastly bigger design.
Even the proclamation to MIR.
Khrushchev thus far and no
farther" does not tell the
whole story.
For this is a turn in ma
tional policy dwarfing in both
danger and grandeur the ma
tional decision of the late
Thirties away from isolation
ism. This is a conscious re-
versal of what since the sadly
inconclusive end of the
Korean War has been an
American rejection Of the
whole concept of power, even
power rightly used.
Even if others will not see
it, America sees at last that
the present world cannot be
saved by good intentions.
This is a new and true inter-
nationalism of responsibility.
In saving ourselves we shall
save those who still believe it
possible to talk the world
away from that abyss toward
which international COM
munism has so long been
pushing it.
Death, it is true, is some
times the companion of risk;
but life without risk is posi-

M. Finley Resigns

Wfliam E. Finley will leave behind
a number of significant accomplish
meats when he departs Washington next

director of the National Capital Plan
Ming Commission. Among them are the
completion of the so-called Year 1000

trio az. Columbia. He has worked dill
gently and successfully for more orderly
planning of Federal installations, and
for D more effective augmentation Of
the local urban renewal program.
bdSEgely through the force of his
perSonality, Mr.. Finley also has helped
the commission assume a vigorous and
aggressive role of leadership which it
HAD lacked before his arrival in 1858. In
the process, he has recruited and de-

however, that diSSension arising from
personality and policy clashes between
Mr.. Finley and the present commission

A New Doy-Moybe

After hectic week, in which the
world often seemed close to the edge
of total disaster, there is reason now
for at least a cautious optimism.
The titans, Russia and the United
States. have pulled back from the brink.
Mr.. Khrushchev, in what the President
calls a "statesmanlike decision" has
stated his willingness to dismantle his
Cuban offensive bases and missiles and
take them back to Russia-all under
United Nations supervision. When this
is done, we agree to lift the naval
blockade and promise not to invade
Cuba.
If good faith can be assumed, these
are developments which encourage the
hope that better days may lie ahead.
It is at least possible that the Russians
will take to heart the lesson Of Cuba,
that they will realize there is no more
profit for them in threat and buster,
and that they will be ready to sit down
with us to negotiate agreements on dis
armament and inspection which would
lift the threat of war from harassed
world.
TT is also possible, of course, that
they may do nothing of the sort. In
stead of turning toward peace they may
strive to increase their ornaments and
provoke a crisis In some other theater
where the military odds will be more
favorable to them than was the case
in the Caribbean.
In this event, two lessons should be
kept in mind. Mr. Khrushchev backed
away from his reckless Cuban venture
when it became clear to him that the
United States meant business, that we
fully intended to invade Cuba and de-
stroy the missile bases unless he pulled
them out himself. Underlying this was
the further knowledge on the part OF
the Soviet leader that the military
power of the United States was greater
than his, particularly in the Caribbean,
and that he would be counting ruin II
he forced a showdown. So, unless and
until there is a dependable move toward
peace, we must be sure that we main
tain both our margin of power and the
will to use it II need be.
A word should be said about the
President. When the threat in Cuba
became intolerable, he acted firmly
and decisively to invoke the military
measures necessary to put 1t down.
There was none of the irreSolution
which marked the misadventure in the
Bay of Pigs. If Mr.. Khrushchev mis-
read the meaning of that affair, the
message on the Cuban occasion got
through to him loud and clear.

To many the forest Is be-
ing hidden by the trees.
Preoccupation with the dra-
matte details Of daily moves
and countermoves is obscur-
ing the profundity Of this
Governments new, hard, all
national policy in the cold
war.
What 1t amounts to is a
worldwide test of strength
and determination with the
Soviet Union, a test post
poned through a decade and
a half of trying by every
means to avoid a showdown.
Sovietized Cuba is the i'm
mediate area of this immense
struggle. But it is not the
central theater - because
there is no central theater.
The crisis is universal, and
it is being dealt with by
President Kennedy and his
advisers precisely on these
limitless terms.
No Man an Island
John Dome wrote cen
turtles ago that no man is an
island to himself. Now there
are no islands of any kind.
There are no degrees Of
crisis. For it is, simply and
exactly, a total crisis every
where, demanding and re-
ceiving from American
leadership a capacity for
solitary decision which has
no counterpart in mankind'S
long life.
Thus it is that the voices
of the second guessers
whether Of ordinary people
here or of Allied statesmen
and United Nations officials,
are now only the voices of
men shouting down the
empty rain barrel of history.
What they say may be inter-
esting, but now it is largely
irrelevant. The wheel of fate
has turned and there can be
only one of two ends to the
crisis. The Soviet threat of
nuclear aggression, which has
Cuba as its Immediately dis
cernible focus but which in
fact is spread across the
globe, will be brought under
control. Or, there will be
war.
Thus, United Nations nego-
tiations are helpful in a small
sense but can never be de-
cisive. If such proposals
should provide some forum

wise-in which Premier
Khrushchev might return to
sanity, they would to that ex-

1.-THE Origin of Races" is
essentially a long, detailed
exposition of two funda-
mental ideas about human
evolution: /. racial character
istics preceded sapience, or,
in other words, our hominid
ancestors were racially diff
ferent from one another be-
fore they crossed the thresh-
old to full humanity; and 2,
different races became sa-
pient at different times,
which is to say that the rate
of evolution has not been
the same for the several
races.
Neither idea is orthodox.
One of the purposes Of 1.-THE
Origin of Races" is to con-
vince anthropologists, paleon-
tologists, and practitioners of
the myriad allied fields that
taken together these notions
form a reasonable, modern
model of human evolution.
In this sense, Mr.. Coon. who
is Curator of Ethnology and
Professor of Anthropology at
the University Museum in
Philadelphia, Is addressing
his colleagues. Unless the
number of publications listed
under his name in the biblio-
graphy has been diminished
by misplaced modesty, he has
not previously presented his
thesis to the profession in
learned journals.
Yet at the same time, the
book is intended for the gen.
eral public, or at least that
small portion of it willing to
read about hominid and pom
gid dentition in enormous de-
tail, and strong enough to
support the weight of the
tome.
PROF. COON has contrived
to address both audiences by
retaining the complete ap-
paratus of a learned work
and adding brief definitions.
