Laos and Wet Nam

The policy of the State
Department towards Laos is
contradictory of its policy
toward South Wet Nam. In
Laos we are abandoning our
friends, while in South Wet
Nam we are fighting for our
friends.
Because we decided last
year that a coalition govern
ment for Laos, with the
Communists holding prevail
ing power in the coalition,
offered the only hope of SAL
vaging some shreds of free
dom for the embattled lit
tie country, we are now with
holding and denying assist
ance to the pro-Western
forces Of General Nosavan
there. Our government is
insisting that unless these
forces accept Communists in
the very highest posts in the
government, including the
Ministries Of Defense and Of
Interior, we will withhold
financial assistance.
This policy is foolish and
shortsighted. Not only is a
Communist coalition goverh-
ment inherently unrealistic
because Communists do not
live UP, to commitments, but
giving the Communists the
posts Of defense and interior
carries with it control of the
external and internal policies
Of the nation.
Our policy Of denying aid,
because loyal Laotians will
not thus subordinate them
selves to Communists, can
only cause the complete coll
lapse Of resistance to COM
munism in Laos. This is bad
enough, Of itself, but collapse
in Laos will endanger our
west flank in South Wet Nam
and vitiate our military ef-
forts there. One glance at a
map should reveal the futility
Of these contradictory poll
cies. Robert Morris,

The work, however, for the
first time has detected
gamma rays from space and
opened up q new field in as
tronomy. Since the rays arise
from some of the most fun
damental processes in nature,
their investigation is Of great
Importance.
Great stress also Is being
laid on detection and meas
urement Of the invisible uI-
traviolet radiation from stars
and galaxieS-a closed door
to the astronomers of the
past. The Goddard Space
Flight Center has flown sew
eral sounding rockets to OBJ
serve this radiation. Flights
have been made from Wal
lops Island in Virginia for
Northern Hemisphere obser-
vations and from the Woo
mera rocket range in Aus
tralia for the Southern
Hemisphere.
Results to date. the scien-
fists say, have been quite
startling. For example Of the
10 stars observed. on one of
the flights only one of the
cooler ones, at about $4,000
Fahrenheit, appeared In the
ultraviolet.
New Astronomy Era Ahead
The other stars showed
great disagreement with cur
rent theories, and the hot
ter the stars the greater the
disagreement. The Goddard
scientists have suggested that
molecules m which the gas
helium is chemically COM
bined with something else
may be responsible. Helium
on earth does not form conf
pounds. Now. say the God
dard scientists. they are
probing into conditions
where the rules Of the game
admit many things that do
not happen under conditions
existing on earth.
The invisible light astron-
orny program, it is stressed, Is
only at its outset. The few
results to date promise quite
exciting discoveries when as
Economical observatories are
launched into orbit. A good
start has been made on OBJ
servations of the nearest
star. the sun, which has some
effect on about everything
that happens on earth.
Satellite-carried instru-
ments are expected to open
q new era in astronomy.
Stars, gases between the
stars and other galaxies be-.
sides the Milky Way can be
studied in several wave-
lengths Of radiation not OBJ
servable from the earth's
surface.

DepIorobIe Situation

In my daily reading of The
Star and other papers I
have noticed a peculiar trend
in wordage that seems to be
symbolic Of our age. Count
less times I read that some
one has "deplored" the use
Of force, bribes, etc., or that
the Widow Roosevelt has un-
earthed another "deplorable"
social condition. Also, that
traditional, potent-sounding
word "filibuster" has lately
been replaced by a ly-good-
fellow concoction, "talka-
thon." Reports and Govern
ment studies, such as the
recent one on birth control
that accidentally got lost, are
always questioning the ''feasi-
bility" Of this or that. Trans
lated, this means will 1t Of
fend enough to lose votes?
There was a time when q
newspaper reporter was called
a reporter, a specific word
that conjured up a specific
type C'imageC-a tough
talking, gum-chewing, nosy
guy who hung around the
police station for blotter
news, or who climbed out on
a ledge 80 stories from the
pavement to get a first-hand
report on a pending suicide.
Now that aggressive breed
has been buried under the
bland name Of "newsman."
The latter is well dressed,
deplores the right things, and
above all he possesses that
goth century imprimatur, a
college education.
What sort Of modulated
caponS are we Americans be-
coming? Where are the peo-
pie who get mad once in
a while? Nowadays, If you lose
your temper it is not unlikely
that the little tin administra-
tor one notch above you will
request a psychiatric exam
inationl Perhaps the eupho-
ria in this country that the
intellectuals and the local
crop of philosopher kings
tend to blame on materialism
really has its roots in a grow
ing disgust with mealy-
mouthed statesmen. As an
American and as a woman. !
would personally prefer the
beloved threats of Teddy
Roosevelt, the tobacco stains
of Andrew jackson, or even
one of Warren Harding's
poker games.

THE POLITICAL MILL;
The Power-Grob Issue
BY GOULD LINCOLN

Former President Eisen-
hover - who remains q
spokesman for millions Of
Americans, and by no means
only Republicans-threw the
book at President John F.
Kennedy and his demands
for increased executive power
at a press conference Thurs
day. There was no name call
ing; no give 'em he'll" techni-
que. But his summary Of
these demands, his declara-
ton that this gradual swell
ing Of a tremendous Federal
bureaucracy is the kind Of
thing that might ultimately
destroy self-reliant citizen
ship and freedom in this
country was effective. His
statement was made after
more than three hours Of
discussion of Governmental
affairs with the Republican
leaders Of Congress. This
was his first press conference
in the national capital since
he left the White House in
January 1861.
The former President OBJ
viously is willing to take this
issue Of bigger and bigger
Federal government and less
and less reliance on State
and local government-and
finally on the individual citi-
zen-to the country in the
coming campaign. He strong
ly urged the election of a
Republican Congress as a
safeguard against grabs for
power. 1t is Just as obvious
that President Kennedy and
his administration are quite
ready to dramatize this issue
Of greater power for the Fed
eral government. Indeed, the
President has already done
SO. And since that is the
case. it is likely to go into
the fight for political control
Of Congress which is soon to
get underway.
Five Demands for Power
Gen. Eisenhower listed five
demands for additional ex-
ecutive power which Presi-
dent Kennedy has made of
Congress. They include au-
thority to modify Federal in
come taxes whenever the
President decides it is in the
interest of the country's
economy. This means lower
the taxes, no matter whether
the Federal government has
to borrow additional billions
to carry on. Also included
was authority, in the hands
of the President, to finance
large-scale public works pro-
grams by diversion of funds
dedicated by Congress to
other purposes; authority for
the Federal government to
take over a whole host of
State and local responsible
ties, including authority for
the establishment Of a De-
partment of Urban Affairs;
authority to regiment all
agriculture to an even-great-
er extent than ever attempt
ed before; finally, authority
to dilute the independence
Of the Federal Reserve Board
by presidential appointment
of its chairman. This to be
accomplished by. making the
term Of office Of the chair
man coincide with that Of a
President.
Some of these demands for
additional authority have al
ready been attacked by the
Evening star., 1962-05-12
Tax Analyst

Most people complain about
State and local taxes be-
cause they have to pay them
in one large amount. Tax
payers never notice Federal
taxes because they never see
the money. When any one
complains about the State
tax, remind him of the Fed
eral tax since that is the
larger of the two taxes.
What do you get for State
and local taxes? You get a
road complete with traffic
cop and a hole here and
there; you get a school build
ing in your county with
teachers who act as If they
know more than either you
or your family; you get safe
water even though 1t tastes
like chlorine; you get the
freedom of breathing air not
contaminated with your
neighbor's refuse; and you
get a policeman who catches
thugs and robbers and a
court that lets them go.
But, what do you get for
the money sent to Washing
ton? You get the complete
information on q road build
ing project somewhere in
Asia; you get the prestige of
building a factory behind the
Iron Curtain; you are fortun-
ate in helping to keep social
lists in power all over the
world; you have the chari-
table feeling Of knowing you
are doing your bit toward
maintaining thousands Of
State Department people who
are busy showing those for
eigners what a life of luxury
really is; and with back-door
handouts you have the pleas
sure Of pleasing Castro.
So, which Of the two taxes
would you give up?

Republican leaders Of the
Senate and the House, Sen
ator Dirksen Of Illinois and
Representative HalIeck Of In
diana. On one the adminfs4
tration has suffered defeat
Cat least for the time beinsl
the creation Of an Urban
Affairs Department, which
Mr.. Kennedy sought to acE
complish through an execu-
tive order. The House vetoed
his order by q significant ma
jority. The other demands
are running into strong OPP
position. and If any legiS-
lation is enacted regarding
them, it is likely to be cous
siderably modified. -
The relations between the
former President and PresiS
dent Kennedy since the latS
ter took office have been
friendly. Mr.. Kennedy has
sought Gen. Eisenhower
opinion as well as informa<
ton on q number Of impor=
tant matters. Whether this
open attack on the Kennedy
domestic policies win change
the atmosphere remains to
be seen. Gen. Eisenhower inz
dicated he was strongly ops
posed, also, to the Kennedy
administrations insistence
upon increasingly heavy Fed
eral spending on all fronts. =,
Foreign Policy Issue
Gen. Eisenhower, however.
declined to attack President
Kennedy's foreign policies.
He insisted that the Presi5
dent, because of his office
and the wide information
available to him, is the only
man who can speak for the
United States to foreign ma
tions. Also, he expressed his
qualification at what he
called the administrations
increasing firmness in its
dealing with the Russian
Communists. When he was
asked. however, If matters Of
foreign policy should go into
a political campaign, Gen.
Eisenhower replied there
might be discussion Of past
events. But he was firmly
opposed to bringing into g.
political campaign any exist
ing and future policy Of the
Kennedy administration.
The present attempt Of the
Kennedy administration to
force through the Senate and
House a bill setting up sixth
grade schooling as a literacy
test standard for voting for
Federal office in any and all
States which believe in such
tests brought from Gen. Ei-.
senhower q comment that
such an act may be uncon-
stitutional. Here he placed
himself somewhat in oppo4s
Sition to the Republican,
leadership. Senator Dirkser1i
co-sponSored a demand for
cloture, to bring to an end
a Senate filibuster against
the Kennedy bill. The admin
istration has called the bill,
q civil rights measure be-,
cause, it has charged, literacy
tests are being used In some
States to deny Negroes q
right to be registered and vote.
The move for cloture, defeated
a few days ago. will come up
for a second go-round this
coming week. Gen. Eisen5
hover insists that any liter
acy test should be honestly
enforced.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
NASA Initiotes Gommo Astronomy
BY THOMAS R. HENRI

Gamma astronomy, an en-
tirely new branch of the most
ancient of sciences, has just
been inaugurated by scien-
lists of the National Aero
nautics and Space Admins
tration.
Up to now observations of
the heavens have been con-
fined largely within the linn
its Of visible light-Stars that
can be seen with the eye or
with the telescopes eye.
Gamma rays can be consid-
cred q kind of invisible light.
They result from explosions
Of atoms. They are similar to
X-rays but are much shorter
and have much greater
energy.
Iney may reveal, the SCI
entists hope, q hitherto en-
tirely unknown universe =
new stars and new as
semblages of stars which ra-
diate very little visible light
which can be picked up by
present astronomical instru-
ments. Few Of them penetrate
below the worlds roof, the
ionoSphere, where observa-
tions now can be made for
the first time. A gamma tele-
scope has been provided by
engineers Of the Massachu-
sets Institute. Of Technology.
Much Already Learned
Considerable data already
has been accumulated. Most
of the gamma ray counts
that have been made have
come from the earth itself.
About 20 per cent, however,
came from outer space. These
did not come from any one
direction. They seemed to be
quite well distributed
throughout the heavens.
The count rate of the
telescope" is quite low, but
about what could be expected
from collisions between cos
mic rays and the gas existing
throughout this galaxy. The
observed counts, according to
q Goddard Space Research
Center report, are q thou
sandfold fewer than would
arise from interaction be-
tween positive and negative
protons If one current the
ory Of the universe were true
namely that matter and
antimatter are being created
continuously at equal rates.
Thus the first gamma ray
satellite has succeeded in par
ing down by one the number
Of possible theories Of the
universe.
No gamma stars" have
been detected to, date, but
this may be because the
amount Of data is so small.

Strife in Algeria

The current battle raging
in Algeria seems to be inn
possible to win, that is, from
the point Of view Of the
French government. With the
capture of GAS leaders Sa-
Ian and Jouhard 1t was gen.
orally thought that the or
ganization would be forced
to fall to its knees for lack
of sufficient leadership but
they have fully disproyen this
theory with their continued
attacks. OF course. the ques-
ton is whether or not the
Moslem's are going to fight
back.
With their hit and run tac-
tics, it will be impossible to
wipe out the OAS completely
and the attempt is only lead
ing to more and more blood
shed. It is apparent that if
the OAS continues its slaugh-
ter Of Moslem's at the pres
ent rate, mass retaliation is
inevitable. The organization
displays enough power to
show that it may never meet
complete defeat and If pos
sibly it does. it cannot be in
time to stop the coming re-
taliation.
