Mr.. Doherty argued in a cir

In 1858. Gen. Win staged a coup,
with Mr.. Nus support, to break
the back of the leftist parties. In
1860, Gen. Win turned the coun-
try back to the politicians, and
Mr.. MI was reelected premier.
The effect of the coup probably
will mean a return of strong man
rule to the Asian republic, but
this is not necessarily an evil in
an area where there is a lack of
trained administrators.
In Pakistan, for instance, Gen
Ayub Khan has been ruling as
military dictator since his own
coup in 1858, and the country has
made tremendous strides forward.
Last week, ironically preceding the
Burma coup by day. Gen. Ayub
announced a new constitution for
his country that will eventually
lead to a resumption of civilian
rule.

Rhodesio:

Despite the objections of

British Government last week
announced a new constitutional
plan that could lead to rule in
Northern Rhodesia by the Afri-
can majority.
The groundwork was laid last
week for what could be another
Algerian like situation in the
BritiSh-held Federation of Rho
desia and Nyasaland. The Fedora
ton is composed of Northern and
Southern Rhodesias and Nyasa-
land.
Like Algeria, there are three
distinct groups vitality involved in
the copper-rich Federation, which
is located in Central Africa, south
of Katanga and is twice as big
as Texas. They are:

the training of individuals to take
care of those who attend the all
night parties at the White House
where they do the twist until the
small hours of the morning. Is a
"twister tender" related to these
night club activities?
Mr.. O'Hara I am sure the
gentleman knows more about the
twist than I do.
Mr.. Gross-Well, if I know more
than you do, you do not know
anything about the twist.
Anyway, this is very interesting.
And, I hope eventually to find out

supposed to do. You do not have

South Wet Nam

The South Wet Nam govern
ment has had to contend with two
enemies: The Communists and
apathy.
The Communists mostly guer-
rillas from North Wet Nam-are
difficult to find in the jungles
of South Wet Nam, especially
since they have accessible Ravens
in the north and in neighboring
Laos.
This guerrilla war has been
going on for years, but only in the
last IL months has it reached
stable proportions. The United
States estimates that there are
now more than 10000 Red fighters
in South Wet Nam, and this has
led to the dispatch of about 1000
American advisers, pilots, and
naval personnel to the scene.

Soviet Cooperation
In SPoce Is Logical
BY CHARLES BARTLETT
Contributing Writer

The Nations manifestations of
Joy at its taste of success in space
suggests that the appetite for CO.
operation with the Russians in
future ventures may be less acute
among the public than it is within
the Government.
But the enthusiasm for joint
operations is very marked among
high Federal officials who are
staggered by the cost estimates
OF prolonged space race, among
diplomats who see space as a
promising area for closer dealings
with the Russians, and among
the scientists who are eager for
any move that will further their
penetration of the unknown.
President Kennedy has hastened
to make the most of the possibility
for cooperation that was sug-
gested by Premier Khrushchev's
message Of congratulations after
the Glenn flight. His scientific
aides are working hard to pre-
pare specific proposals and MIR.
Kennedy is known to be anxious
to lay something concrete before
Mr.. Khrushchev as soon as pos
sible.

Burma:
New Coup

General Ne Win seized con-
troll of the Burmese government
for the second time in three
years last week.
Experience has shown that de-
mocracy does not come naturally
Or easily-to the underdeveloped
countries of the world.
This is a subject that has both
cred idealiStic Western states
men, and has interested the
worlds SociologiStS. Where there
are low literacy rates, low per
capita incomes, and no tradition
of democratic rule, democracy, as
it is known in the West, succeeds
only with the greatest difficulty.
Last weeks developments in
Burma are not unique, and similar
examples can be found in South
Korea, Pakistan, Thailand, South
Wet Nam and Laos of countries
where democracy has had a hard
time. Americans are familiar with
the periodic coups of Latin
America, where the story is quite
similar.
The reasons for Gen. Wins coup
his second in three years-are
also familiar. Gen. Win-like
most Western trained military
men-fears any movement to the
left Sometimes the fears are
groundless, but often they are we'll
founded.
In Burma, Gen. Win felt that
there was a vastly deteriorating
situation" caused by the govern
ment'S decision to nationalize
much of the import trades. and
by its increasingly closer ties with
Red China.
Apparently, Premier U M did
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-03-04

posal, that an immediate start can
be made on merging the lunar
programs Of the two countries.
In such venture we would have
to be absolutely certain of the
Russian sincerity because we could
not chance the possibility that
they would continue to prepare
their own flight in secret. This
would mean an inspection system
and no one believes the Russians
are ready to permit us to inspect
their launching pads.
Furthermore the United States
lunar program has now developed
an impressive degree of techno-
logical momentum which would
make it hard to merge with the
similar program CT foreign
country. The launching pad for
the moon vehicle has been started
at Cape Canaveral and the ap-
paratus is being tailored to the
vehicles requirements. A joint
effort presumably would require
the establishment of a new
launching complex on neutral
territory and the design of a
vehicle that would not be identi-
fable purely as the brainchild
of one of the two countries.
Lunar Cooperation
In these circumstances the
current view is that the lunar
effort must continue without
present thought of merger and
that serious contemplation of
such a step must come after sue
cessful cooperation has been &C
complished in other programs.
These tests of good faith, to be
proposed by the United States,
will be tied to meaningful prof.
ects of potential Importance in
space research but they will not
be directly involved in the reach
for the moon.
The same pail of doubt which
pervades the prospects of all deal
ingS with the Soviets is discern
ible in the preparations for the
proposal on joint space research.
But the logic of a mutual effort
is so strong, the financial burden
is so great. and the enthusiasm,
apparent even among Soviet dip
lomatS, is so clear that many are
coming to think that some degree
of coordination will be possible.

the whites, and the present one
may favor neither, but probably
will lead to an African majority.
The constitution provides that
many OF those elected to the
council must have 10 per cent of
the votes cast by the other race.
The British government hopes
this will lead to election of the
more moderate politicians of both
races.
Sir Roy, afraid that the Africans
will gain control of Northern Rho
deSia, and then secede from the
Federation, was in London trying
to persuade the government
against the plan. If the Africans
are thwarted in an attempt to
secede, however, it could lead to
another Algeria, something no one
wants.
