Foot-in-Mouth Trouble

To toss his own words back at him,
W. H. Ferry, vice president of the Fund
for the Republic, was guilty of "Senten-
tiouS poppycock" in his efforts to mini
mize the threat Of Communist espionage
in the United States and to belittle the
work Of FBI Director ]. Edgar Hoover
In fighting this Communist activity.
Putting aside for the moment Mr..
Ferry'S peculiar Short-sightedness on
this substantive matter, it may be hoped
that he has learned one simple fact
Of life political variety, at leaSt). 1t is,
that attacking Mr.. Hoover by sarcasm,
innuendo or any other form Of glib
speech-making is singularly unreward-
ing. II it influences people, it is not
in the direction Of making very many
friends.
Mr.. Ferry, strangely enough, chose
to make his witleSs remarks on a politi-
cal platform-before the Western States
Democratic Conference in Seattle BY
doing so, he embarrassed his hosts and,
politics being what 1t is, delighted their
opponents. Republican National Chair
man Miller, for example, Immediately
demanded that the Democrats repudiate
their speaker for his "defamatory and
virtually traitorous remarks" Demo-
cratic National Chairman Bailey sug-
geSted in reply that Mr.. Miller should
worry about "the lunatic fringe in his
own party" and made it clear that he
disagreed, also, with Mr.. Ferry.
Attorney General Kennedy, Mr.
Hoover's boss, and the FBI Director has
had loyal bosses in both parties during
his long career, spoke up quickly about
the disservice done by anybody who
underestimate the threat Of commu-
niSm, and added that "Mr. Hoover is my
expert" on how to deal with the threat.
Very probably the last of this has
not yet been heard. But 1t is at least
unlikely, and good thing, too, that Mr..
Ferry will be asked to make any more
speeches on the platforms of any polit-
ical party.

Trims Our Wick

It was q distinct shock to
note the recent drastic change
in your editorial comment as
witnessed by your blatantly
soft = on Russia reaction in
the editorial entitled Fare
well in Moscow" and now
you exhibit greater evidence
Of leftist leaning in your nau-
seous open-arm welcoming Of
Fulbright Of Arkansas as a
returnee to the Senate, with
the comment that he is not
as liberal" as pictured.
Haven't you read the in
famous and un American
"Fulbright Memorandum?
Does such an excursion into
monolithic t thinking make
him a conservative? Here
again we have another
Rhodes scholar whose think
ing is completely one-world
and who would gladly sub
merge our n a tional status
into the quagmire of inter-
nationaliSm.
Come, Evening Star, let
your light shine as In yester-
years, guiding US toward the

The Kotonqo Story

On August 5 you carried in
your distinguished journal q
review Of a book "Rebels,
Mercenaries and Dividends:
The Katanga Story") by
Smith Hempstone. Your re-
viewer calls statements by
Mr.. Hempstone evidence"
and seems to think this "evi-
dence" consists of facts.
Yet, on page 1873 Mr..
Hempstone writes that the
Red Cross protested against
the U. N. firing on Red Cross
vehicles. The fact is that Red
Cross representative Georges
Olivet did not ask the Red
Cross to tell the U. N. not to
fire on the Red Cross en-
blem. On the contrary, he
repeatedly went on the radio
to demand that the Katan-
gese should not use the Red
Cross emblem on military
vehicles. Olivet's actions
were reported in the press.
On page 178 Mr.. Hempstone
says: 'fOnly in Kongolo did
1000 gendarmes stand firm"
On page ITO he says that
Pakassa's troops, opponents
Of the gendarmes "slay
twenty-five Belgian priests"
Where were the brave gen.
darmes who stood firm? The
gendarmes far outnumbered
PakasSa's troops.
On page 1874 Mr.. Hemp
stone states that the U. N.
was not terribly concerned
with what happened to the
Congo's whites" The fact Is
that the U. Ms Mai. Law
son led rescue missions
when whites were endan-
gered. White missionaries
were slain because the Ka-
tanga gendarmerie deserted
them.
On page 1873 Mr.. Hemp
stone says that Chester Tor
rey, Seventh-Day Adventist
world secretary general,
was wounded. The fact is
that Mr.. Torrey was not
wounded, as he can testify.
On page 181 Mr.. Hemp
stone states that the Novem-
Der "a resolution (Security
CounciD gave U Thant carte
blanche to end Katanga's
secession in any way he saw
fit" The fact Is that the No
vember "a resolution only
authorized the use of force in
arresting mercenaries. It did
not authorize the use of mill
tary force to end Katanga's
secession. Acting Secretary
General q Thant has re-
peatedly stated he does not
have a mandate to end Ka-
tanga's secession by force.
Consequently, in December,
1861, no attempt was made
to arrest Mr.. Tshombe who
stayed in Elisabethville CIV
ing press conferences even
after he was reported to have
left the city by Mr.. Hemp
stone. These Tshombe press
conferences were covered by,
among others. Sanche de
Gramont Of the New York
Herald Tribune. Where was
eyewitness Hempstone?

Hempstone reports that 1900

Czech scientists now pro-
pose giving the moon q "a
hour day like the earth.
Thus. they claim, the eli
mate Of the earth's cold,
barren satellite might be so
changed as to permit con-
tinuous human habitation.
This Is revealed in an alb
stract Of Soviet science de-
velopments issued by the
United States Department Of
Commerce. It would be &C
complished. according to the
proposal, by causing the
moon to rotate on its own
axis once every "a hours
by implanting thermometer
explosive charges in deep
holes around its equator at
proper angles to the horizon.
1.-THE resulting explosion"
says the abstract, would ro-
tate the moon and permit
the sun to heat the lunar
surface more uniformly,
thus altering the climate.
Another proposal sug-
gestS the use Of nuclear en-
ergy to convert part of the
lunar surface to gaseous
matter and part to water,
thereby creating an atmos-
phere which would persist
for thousands Of years de-
spite the gradual loss of
this envelope due to the
small mass Of the MOON"
The proposal is advanced,
not as Immediately practical
but as something to be
looked for sometime in the
future. Admittedly the pres
ent cost would be impossi-
bly, excessive.
Another Proposal
A further proposal is to
make use Of asteroids as pos
sible sources Of power.
"An asteroid with a dame
ter Of 100 to 200 kilometers,"
says the report, while trav-
cling through space at 20
to 80 kilometers a second has
sufficient kinetic energy to
rotate the moon on its axis.
Several asteroids are suffi-
GENTLY close to the moon to
be considered.
ITO defect such an as
teroid from its orbit would
require only a small amount
of energy. It need change
the direction of its motion
by only one or two degrees
Of arc. It could be made to
strike the moon at a pre-
determined point. Nuclear
and thermonuclear rocket
engines would have to be
constructed on the asteroid.

Stage of Life

Whenever q public figure
dies, we seem to feel In our
hearts q personal loss, as Of
a close friend or loved one.
1t is even more tragic when
such q person Is young, with
the physical attributes, ra-
dance, and beauty, to which
most Of US aspire. The event
IS further saddened when the
victim Is at the heighth Of
success. And 1t Is even further
compounded when the person
may choose to leave this tenn
porary life by his or her own
hand.
In the case Of Marilyn
Monroe, q name synonymous
with glamour, we have lost
a personality that went from
rags to riches, who rose from
an unhappy childhood to
reign on the pinnacles of
Hollywood as queen in the
most tenuous field Of all
glamour.
Some might argue that her
death Is not q tragedy. Per-
hapS not, In the classical
sense, wherein tragedy first
requires a certain nobility of
character.
But tragedy is also a quail
ity OF life which excites in
the audience q combined feel
ing Of pity and awe, and GER
tainly none can dispute the
awe with which she was be-
held on the screen. And, too.
we feel pity for Marilyn
Monroe's sad childhood, lack
OF normal home life, and
broken marriages, and denial

1t is almost incredible that
IN such a short span Of time,
her star has zoomed from
nadir to zenith, and now has
dipped below the horizon.
never to appear again. There
is. to a degree, q spurious
floridity about Hollywood
but, somehow. Marilyn Mon
roe retained q human touch
that many in her field lose.
Some may feel that it is
foolish to give much thought
to the passing of a public
idol who was famous and
wealthy; that death strikes
every day. in every town and
city, without fanfare, with
out headlines, leaving an
empty space which can never
be filled. Some may feel that
Marilyn Monroe's death is
no sadder, can cause no more
tears, than the least of these.
But, on the other hand, her
passing is no less a tragedy
than the average persons.
Her feelings, worries,
thoughts, anxieties, whatever
they were, were no less real,
no less important, than those
OF the poorest, most unglam-
orous person. In fact, ap-
parently. they were far great
er. Her fond memory Of wash
ing dishes as a child for five
cents, and her recollection
Of her Joy in receiving an
orange, shows her to be the
very antithesis of what we
saw on the screen.
AS William Shakespeare so
perfectly sums it up: what
is man, but a poor player
|who struts his hour upon the
stage, and then is no more"
Marilyn Monroe played her
brief hour upon the stage Of
life, both ke-believe and
real. and now Is no more.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Possible to Change Moons Climate?

these would alter the asteroid
orbit and cause it to strike
the moon"
The worlds population
may double in q little more
than 80 years. In the same
period its needs for water.
food and fuel probably will
increase five-fold.
This thesis Is advanced by
DR.. Sverre Petersen, Un-
iversity Of Chicago geophysi-
cist.
1T has taken about 900
years." DR.. Petersen says,
Ito build up the present pop
ulation of 3 billion and it
will take almost exactly SO
years to double it. This is
referred to as the population
explosion But the real ex-
ploSion is the immense rise
in the standard Of living
that now Is superimposed on
the population increase.
Frightening Figures
Suppose we were in q
position to decide that the
standard Of living in North
American and Western Eu-
rope were to remain as at
present and that the re-
mainder of the world pop
ulation were to increase its
standard up to so per cent
Of our own. We would find
that, as a combined result Of
population increase and rise
in the standard Of living
that the demands on our re-
sources would increase 500
per cent by the end of this
century. This is a far more
frightening figure than the
mere doubling Of popula-
ton"
The major part Of the
population ase, he
stresses, may be expected in
equatorial regions. There
will come the greatest de-
mands for food.
But terra firma hardly
will be able to produce all
the food we need. The world
problem will be to eliminate
a horrible shortage Of food.
1t is quite evident that we
must turn to the vast re-
sources of the oceans"
Much of the present world
conflict, he stresses, comes
from present inequalities in
living standards. These seem
bound to increase as the
inequalities become greater
with the expected population
increase. They can be averted
only by increased knowledge
about mans environment and
the resources Of this planet.

Congolese troops. The U. N.
did not have anywhere near
enough planes to move $500
troops in one day. q. s.
Globemasters only could
have done 1t, and did not do
it, as U. s. authorities can
testify.
On page 1877 Mr.. Hemp
stone writes: within a mat
ter Of minutes, Gurkha
troops had assaulted the
main roadblock :" The
fact is that for two whole
days the U. N. kept asking
that the roadblock be re-
moved. The U. s. Consul can
testify to this. Then, the
roadblock opened fire on the
Gurkhas who shot back, in
self defense.
On page 1876 Mr.. Hemp
stone says: 1T is difficult to
apportion the blame, but
each side seems to have been
at fault. The initial incident
took place at Elisabethville
Airport when Indian troops
arrested and disarmed thirty
two Katangan gendarmes
who allegedly had drunkenly
moleSted an African woman.
Within hours, other gen.
darmeS had set up road
blocks, arrested eleven United
Nations personnel, fired on a
U. N. aircraft, killed one
Swedish soldier and wounded
two others when they tried to
force their way through a
roadblock. The q. N. moved
all its civilian personnel

tense perimeter :" The
fact Is that the Indians

THE POLITICAL MILL
Free World Must Hang Together
BY GOULD LINCOLN

can, during and after World
War I and his tenure Of the
presidential office, and, In
deed, up to today. He has
watched the efforts on the
part Of the United States to
bring about better relations
between this country and So
Wet Russia-or even to make
friends of the Communists.
He does not propose the
abandonment of the United
Nations. but he points to the
folly Of regarding the Com
munist nations as trust
worthy friends.
It may be recalled that
neither President Wilson nor
Presidents Harding. Coolidge
and Hoover ever gave official
recognition to the Russian
Soviet in their conduct Of
the foreign affairs Of this
country. That came when
President Franklin D. Roose-
welt moved into the White
House.
Cites U. N. Pacts
Mr.. Hoover mentioned that
within the framework Of the
United Nations, five regional
treaties or pacts have been
set UP for mutual defense and
that also some free nations
have bilateral agreements to
give military assistance in
case Of attack. Forty free
nations are involved in these
treaties. His contention is
that now 1t Is necessary to
have these regional and BIZ
lateral agreements brought
into a new and extended OPP
Grafton for peace and against
Communist aggression.
The former Presidents
concept is similar in great
degree to that presented by
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of
New York in his book. THE
Future Of Federalism" in
which Gov. Rockefeller ex-
presses belief that there will
evolve the bases for a fed
eral structure of the free
world" even though there are
today great difficulties facing
the formation of such q
structure. Mr.. Hoover did
not suggest that the Council
Of Free Nations have its head
quarters in the United States,
but rather in Geneva which
is the worlds most accepted
neutral capital. Geneva" he
continued. has been the
scene Of great accomplish
mentS in peace until poisoned
by the Communists and the
Fascists."
Although admitting that
the snalosy of the Concert
Of Europe fcimed in 1914 and
his proposal of q Council Of
Free Nations Is not perfect,
Mr.. Hoover observed that
that concert Tended off world
war for 100 years.
Gov. Rockefeller declared
in his book the need that
this country, as the strong
est. take the lead in the for
nation Of a more perfect
union Of the countries Of the
free world. Mr.. Hoover in
his address at West Branch
gave every indication that
the United States should
move strongly in this direc-
ton. And he eloquently
pointed to the strength Of
this country and its way of
life.
There is a constantly grow
ing demand for greater or
ganized cooperation among
the free nations.

FORMER President Herbert
Hoover, who celebrated his
eeth birthday anniversary at
West Branch, Iowa. yesterday
and spoke at the dedication
Of the Herbert Hoover Presi-
Dental Library, made q seri-
Gus proposal for greater unity
among the free nations and
free peoples Of the world. This
unity. Mr.. Hoover commented
Is essential for the greater
safety for America" as it
faces the threats Of interna-
tional communism.
Declaring that the United
Nations, the last Of q long
list Of efforts to establish
an organization to assure
world peace, has failed to
give US even q remote hope
Of lasting peace" but in
stead 'it adds to the danger
Of wars which now surround
u.s." Mr.. Hoover suggested the
creation Of q Council Of
Free Nations. This organi-
zation. he insisted, should
include only those who are
willing to stand up and fight
for their freedom"
He made it extremely clear
that the Communist nations,
now members Of the United
Nations. should not be in
cluded in the proposed coun-
Gil, nor, apparently, the So
called neutralists Of today
unless they shall cease to
be neutral" in the contest
against communism and its
spread.
The former President of
the United States. who in his
long life has participated in
many world negotiations
which 1t was hoped would
promote peace, said fatty:
To-day we have no peace"
The disintegrating forces in
the United Nations, he said,
are the Communist nations
in its membership. The Com
munist leaders, he continued.
"for 40 years, have repeated
ly asserted that no peace can
come to the world until they
have overcome the free ma
tons" By their actions they
have destroyed the usefulness
Of the United Nations to pre-
serve peace.
In support Of his conten-
ton that the proposed new
Council Of Free Nations
should exclude the Commu-
mist nations, Mr.. Hoover
quoted from the late Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson when
he launched the League of
Nations after the war to end
all wars" Mr.. Wilson said:
"a steadfast concert for peace
can never be maintained ex-
cept by q partnership Of
democratic nations. No auto
cratic government could be
trusted to keep faith within
1t or observe its covenants. +"
Would Not Replace U. N.
Although Mr.. Hoover char
acterized the United Nations
as q failure to m aintain
peace, he did not suggest
that the Council of Free Ma
tons replace the u. N. But
he did say that when the
q. N. Is prevented from tax
ing action, or II 1t fails to
preserve peace, then tn e
Council Of Free Nation s
should step in.

ously sought to bring peace
to the world than has this
