Sound Equipment
Worth $500 T aiken
From Church

About $500 worth Of amph-
flying equipment disappeared
Thursday night from the Au-
gustana Lutheran Church, New
Hampshire avenue and v street
NV, police reported.
The Rev. Wayne Woods, pas
tor, said a basement window
was found broken, and that the
equipment had been taken from
a room adjoining the sanctuary.
1t had been used in Sunday
morning church services.
Included in the installations
was some special individual
equipment for the hard-of-
hearing, the pastor said.
The break-in was reported to
police by David E. Nygaard, q
parishioner who is an electri-
clan and helps with the sound
system.
The church, which has a
congregation of about 700, has
roots in a small group of
Swedes called st. Eric's Con-
gregation, which began to meet
in 1918. 1t has met in its pres
ent church since 1899.

% (AP). - Difficulties en-
countered with the Skybolt
missile have been no greater
than normal in a test program,
Douglas Aircraft Co. says. 1t
said the discarded program has
made important contributions
to United States missile
technology.
Douglas. prime contractor to

issued a statement yeste1 say
referring to the meeting of
President Kennedy and British
Prime Minister Macmillan. It
said. in part:
I'VE deeply regret the de-
cisions reached at Nassau with
respect to the Skybolt missile. .,
I'VE are in no position to
comment, let alone pass judy
ment, on all Of the various
factors that must have con-
tributed to the administrations
decision, and we recognize that
the final responsibility belongs
to the President Of the United
States.
However, as system de-
signers we wish to express our
complete confidence in the
technical feasibility Of the Sky
bolt missile system. The diff
ficulties encountered have been
no greater than is normal in a
test program, or those en-
countered in many other missile
programs which later achieved
success. :"

Internal HostiIities That Led to the Fall
Of Rome Called q Worninq to u. S.
RALPH McGLLL

When Christ was born at
Bethlehem, the Republic of
Rome had but recently dis
appeared, only the shadowy
form remaining.
The Emperor Octavius,
upon whom was conferred the
title Augustus, had but a few
years before united in him
self the great offices of en-
peror, consulate, tribune, and
head of all important depart
ments, or colleges.
Great Rome, on her seven
hills, was experiencing, when
the star led wise men to the
stall in the caravanserai on
the edge of Bethlehem, the
first years Of peace in al
most a half-century. Some
400 years before, the Gauls
had defeated the Roman
army, overrun and sacked
the city, destroying most of
1t. Octavius Augustus took
over a shaky republic, as
sumed despotic control, and
created the empire.
Before Christ was crucified
the empire had begun to die.
To be sure, the signs Of it
were not evident. Tiberius,
stepson Of Augustus, was an
able administrator. But there
was a dark shadow over his
mind.
Caligula, a mailman, fol-
lowed him. The empire was
dying. There were few visi-
BILE signs. Unless, of course,
one notes the incompetent
emperors. Paganism, too, was
dying, though none of the
members of the young Chris
tan churches thought so.
Persecution of them was cruel
and ruthless.
Now and then there was a
competent emperor. Vespasian

tendency not to permit do
nestle policies to interfere
with international affairs is
gaining followers all over Eu-
rope.
The attitude of Washing
ton in the Cuban affair has
demonstrated that a strong
inflexible policy alone can
pay dividends in dealing with
the Red relationships. Gen.
de Gaulle has done this ever
since he assumed power four
years ago and continues to
do so, He is the principal ad-
vocate of this policy: There
is nothing to negotiate on
the present status of Berlin.
If the Russians have some
tangible proposals to offer
concerning the unity of Ger
many, let them come to us
and tell us what these are.
Until then Berlin must re-
main as provided in the Pots
dam and 1948 agreements"
Gen. de Gaulle follows the
same policy in regard to the
disarmament negotiations in
which he has refused to par
ticipate because there is
nothing in the Russian be-
havior which can justify
Western disarmament at this
time"
But the principal point Of
difference between most of
the Western European ma
tons and the United States
is the basic political philos-
ophies concerning the United
Nations. We seem to continue
to hold the illusion that
world organization remains
the panacea for all world all
ments. This point of view is
not shared in the slightest
by the French government,
and is given only lip service
by other Western European
governments.
The United Nations, blunt
ly say the French, is domi-
mated by Afro-Asian nations.

Europe's View of Stevenson Case

These are for the most part
incompetent, irresponsible,
savagely nationalistic and
full Of hate for all that is
Western, American theology
Notwithstanding 1t is unreal
iStic to rely on the United
Nations as a peace stabilizer
when the majority of its COM
ponent parties is formed by
the Afro-ASianS.
The United Nations was
the brainchild Of Anglo
Saxon idealism which has
shown so little diplomatic
skill during and since the last
war. Once born, this child
was taken in hand by the
Russians and made into an
instrument for the promotion
of their interests. The West
ern European nations have
adopted, since they got back
on their feet, a rational ma
tionalism, not only in the
conduct of their own affairs
but also in the support Of
the underdeveloped countries.
The French are helping their
own former colonies, provided
they behave and so are the
British and Italians.
America, on the other hand
so the criticism goes-ap-
pears to be moved by emo
tons rather than statesman
ship in dealing with the Afri-
cans and Asians who receive
their support - regardless of
whether it is asked for or
not. 1t is this fundamental
difference between American
blind idealiSm and European
hard look, In which the inter-
est of the nation comes first,
that creates the present gulf
between us and Europe.
The dissensions between
Europe and the English
speaking nations are not ir-
remediable. But, say the
Western European leaders, it
is high time that there is a
readjuStment between the
starry-eyed internationalism
Of Washington and the stark
realism of the hard-headed
Europeans.

to the government and under
him Jewish revolt against
Rome, which had never
ceased, at last was put down.
Under his son Titus, the le-
gions drove the remnants of
the Jewish army into Jeru-

after one of the most des-
perately fought campaigns in
history, took the city. The
temple was destroyed.
The Germanic tribes still

ROME. - Europeans are
watching the antics of tn e
politicians in Washington
and wonder whether a re-
shuffling of personalities in
and around the White House
is in the making.
The Stevenson incident"
has been a major topic of
conversation in European
chancelleries because Adlai
Stevenson is the darling of
the European neo liberals.
The Europeans are concerned
whether the extreme liberal
ism of the American Govern
ment is undergoing a change
in keeping with the more
moderate trends in mos t
European countries.
Dean Acheson's mild crit
iciSm of the elderly leaders
of Germany, France, Spain
and Portugal and his sharp
analysis Of where goes
Britain?" have caused a
greater sensation because of
the direct effect on Euro
pean affairs.
Rumors that Mr.. Acheson
is likely to play a more i'm
portant role in the Kennedy
administration, possibly in
Mr.. Stevenson's job in the
United Nations, are spread
ing rapidly. The consensus in
most European capitals is
that the former Secretary of
State is not given to free
wheeling and the remarks
made before a Government
institution such as West
Point are considered as indie
alive.
All these speculations are
inevitable now when every
thing seems quiet on the sur
face in the free world. West
ern Europe is now less inter-
ested than in the past in the
trends Of American policy.
These days it seems to look
to Paris and President de
Gaulle for direction rather
than to Washington. The

The Dungerof Domestic Division

the Goths from beyond the
Danube.
1t was almost 500 years
after the birth at Bethlehem
that the death agony of the
empire ended. The historian
Gibbon says of that fall that
it was 1.-THE greatest, perhaps,
and most awful scene in the
history of mankind"
Now, almost 1000 years
after the birth in the city Of
Bethlehem, the United States
is shocked and disturbed by
warnings and portents from
beyond the Danube, from
North Africa, from the Pa
cific, from France, India,
Portugal, Latin America. Ex-
perts in the field of missiles
warn us of dire danger and
Of the need for vitality and
tremendous response lest we
become a Second-rate power.
To do that would be to die.
Gibbon wrote, II have re-
served for the last the most
portend and forcible cause Of
destruction of the empire,
the domestic hostilities of the
Romans themselves. :"
The United States can,
and will, become strong. We
have more strength now than
the Russians. We can defeat
them if that dread task
should, God forbid, become
necessary. But, we can't do it
If we continue in the folly Of
division and in domestic hos
tilities. Some will wish to do
this. The leadership must be
strong enough to prevent. The
Christian ethic, which is at
the basis of Western civiliza-
ton, bids all of US, Christian,
Jew, and unbeliever alike,
believe in the principles of
our civilization. For the
Christian the day presents
even greater challenges Of
faith and belief.

political cohesion among the
nations of the alliance.
NATO Force Build-Up
6. The Prime Minister sug-
gested and the President
agreed, that for the immediate
future a start could be made
by subscribing to NATO some
part of the forces already in
existence. This could include
ALLEGATIONS from United States
strategic forces, from United
Kingdom bomber command,
and from tactical nuclear
forces now held in Europe.
Such forces would be assigned
as part of a NATO nuclear
force and targeted in accord
ance with NATO plans.
NATO NucIear Force
7. Returning to Polaris, the
President and the Prime Min
lister agreed that the purpose
of their two governments with
respect to the provision Of the
Polaris missiles must be the
development Of a multilateral
NATO nuclear force in the
closest consultation with other
NATO allies. They will use
their best endeavours to this
end.
POlaris Accord
8. Accordingly, the President
and the Prime Minister agreed
that the United States will
make available on a continuing
basis Polaris missiles Qess
warheads) for British sub
marines. The United States
will also study the feasibility
Of making available certain
support facilities for such sub
marines. The U. K. government
will construct the submarines
in which these weapons will be
placed and they will also pro-
vide the nuclear warheads for
the Polaris missiles. British
forces developed under this
plan will be assigned and tar
geted in the same way as the
forces described in Paragraph
6. These forces, and at least
equal United States forces,
would be made available for
inclusion in q NATO multi
lateral nuclear force. The
Prime Minister made 1t clear
that except where Her Majes-
tvs government may decide
that supreme national interests
are at stake, these British
forces will be used for the pur-
poses Of international defense
Of the Western alliance in all
circumstances.
Western A-Defense
9. The President and the
Prime Minister are convinced
that this new plan will
strengthen the nuclear defense
OF the Western alliance. In
strategic terms this defense is
indivisible, and 1t is their con-
viction that in all ordinary
circumstances Of crisis or dam
ger. 1t is this very unity which
is the best protection OF the
West.

tenn would be completed within
the cost estimate or the time
scale which were projected when
the program was begun.
U. S. Offer on SkybOlt
2. The President informed
the Prime Minister that for this
reason and because of the avail
ability to the United States Of
alternative weapons systems, he
had decided to cancel plans for
the production of Skybolt for
use by the United States. New
erthelesS, recognizing the i'm
portance of the Skybolt program
for the United Kingdom, and
recalling that the purpose of
the offer of Skybolt to the
United Kingdom in 1860 had
been to assist in improving and
extending the effective life of
the British V-bombers, the
President expressed his readi-
ness to continue the develop
ment of the missile as a Joint
enterprise between the United
States and the United King
dom, with each country bearing
equal shares of the future cost
of completing development, af-
ter which the United Kingdom
would be able to place a pro-
duction order to meet its re-
quirements.
British Decision
3. While recognizing the val
ue of this offer, the Prime Min
lister decided, after full consid-
Grafton. not to avail himself of
it because of doubts that had
been expressed about the pros
poets of success for this weapons
system and because of uncer-
tainty regarding date Of COM
pletion and final cost of the
program.
Hound Dog Offer
4. AS a possible alternative,
the President suggested that |
the Royal Air Force might use
the Hound Dog missile. The
Prime Minister responded that
in the light Of the technical
difficulties he was unable to
accept this suggestion.
Potential in POlaris
5. The Prime Minister then |
turned to the possibility Of pro-
vision Of the Polaris missile to
the United Kingdom by the |
United States. After careful re-
view. the President and the
Prime Minister agreed that a
decision on Polaris must be
considered in the widest con-
text both Of the future defense
OF the Atlantic Alliance and |
OF the safety OF the whole
free world. They reached
the conclusion that this issue
created an opportunity for the
development OF new and closer
arrangements for the organiza-
ton and control OF strategic |
Western defense and that such !
arrangements In turn could
make a major contribution TO !
