AT to Accept Ruling
ByMcNomoro on RS-70

! 1t clear he will not fight the
Mcnamara decision.
"In accordance with the way
in which we operate" he said,
"the Air Force has made rep
reservation to the Secretary of
Defense for the best program
we can develop. He makes his
decisions, and that is binding
upon us. When we go before
the Congress we state what our
recommendations were and give
our opinions when they are
sought"
The RS-70 became a major
issue when Chairman Vinson of
the Armed Services Committee
led a revolt against the Penta-
CONS frequent refusal to spend
unrequested money voted by
Congress for weapons.
The committee unanimously
voted to direct" the admins
tration to spend an added 1920
million (for a total of $491 mil
lion) in the coming fiscal year
for development of the RS-70.
Mr.. Vinson has said he is con-
fident the House will back him
in his fight.
Secretary Sees Committees
Mr.. Mcnamara has been
visiting the Armed Services and
Appropriations Committees of
both Houses to argue against
the extra funds.
Yesterday he gave reporters
a condensed version of the
statement he has been giving
Congress in closed sessions.
First, Mr.. Mcnamara said,
the BIO bomber is no longer
an issue. This was the more
conventional bomber designed
to hit targets located before
the war. Even the Air Force
is now no longer proposing the
B-70," Mr.. Mcnamara said.
The issue now revolveS
around the RS-70, the same
plane given a new mission and
new equipment. The mission
would be to hit targets that
cannot be located and destroyed
by. ICBMs. The RS-70 would
seek hidden targets such as
ICBM pads, air fields still use
able by the enemy, air defense
installations and enemy COM
mand centers.
The RS-70, Mr.. Mcnamara
said, would require electronic
equipment not yet developed
and which may we'll lie beyond
what can be done on the basis
of present scientific knowl-
edge"
The Air Force agrees that the
job will be difficult, but claims
that the problems can be solved
if enough effort is made.
Even if the RS-70 can be
built, Mr.. Mcnamara said, it
will not be the only weapon
able to do the reconnaissance
strike job. B-52 and B-58 bomb
ers. which will still be in use
at the end of this decade, prob
ably can be turned into RS
bombers, he said.
Mr.. Mcnamara also cast
doubt on the necessity of a re-
connaissance strike mission at
the end of the '60s. In answer
to a question, he said: 1T seems
unlikely" that the mission will
be needed after 1867, though
1.-THE future cannot be predicted"

Air Force Secretary Zuckert
indicated today the Air Force
will accept as final the decision
of Defense Secretary Mcnamara
to reject an expanded RS-7O
bomber program this year.
Mr.. McNamara took his argu-
ments against the plane to the
public yesterday with a 9-page
statement and press confer
ence. Secretary Zuckert, when
asked for comment, said Mr..
McNamara's decision is bind
ing upon U.S."
Mr.. Mcnamara summed up
his case against spending extra
money on the 2,000-mile- an
h our, reconnaissance strike
bomber this way:
The plane would not add
significantly to our strategic
retaliatory capability in the
period after 1867. Our best
estimates now are that we could
not have (the radar required)
early enough to produce an OPP
irrational RS-70 force capable
Of useful reconnaissance-strike
before 1870"
In answer to questions, he
said he was not killing the
whole project now simply be-
cause "the future is uncertain. +"
But it seems unlikely" he
said, that the Defense Depart
ment will want to buy the
plane, even If the research and
development problems are
solved.

Parents have a unique op-
portunity this week to get
acquainted with some people
who are a great influence on
their children's lives = their
teachers.
This is American Educa-
ton Week, a good time for
parents to drop in at school
and get to know their young
sters' tie a C he RS. Parent
teacher relationships can
mean a lot to a child in
school.
Teachers face children
more hours of the day than
many parents do. They know
a child in his good moods
and his bad ones. They
watch him closely at work
and at play. They see how
he responds to new situa-
tions.
Both parents and teachers
want children to succeed to
the best of their ability. They
expend a great amount of
energy to further these aims.
Cooperation Helps
But parents sometimes fail
to realize that teachers are
on their side. And teachers
often feel their task would be
lightened by closer co-opera-
ton from parents. Somehow
they fail to get together on it.
1t is important to a child's
mental health that the atti-
tudes and expectations of all
the adults in his life be con-
sistent. Since parents and
teachers make up the child's
adult environment, it makes
good sense for them to get
together on the job.
First and foremost, they
should be friends. And par
ents should take the lead. The
way to make a friend of a
teacher is the same way you
make a friend of your next
door neighbor. Be a friend
yourself.
Parents hesitate to inter-
rupte regular school days
with visits and sons and
daughters of junior and SEN
ior high age resent them COM
ing. Somehow school visits

RAISING your children.
The theme of American Ed
ucation Week, Education
Meets the Challenge of
Change" is an invitation to
parents to inquire about the
new subject matter and new
teaching procedures they
have been hearing about.
Q What changes are actually
affecting the work in your
child's classroom?
. What changes have taken
place in the required home
work and the manner in
which it is to be accom-
plished?
Q What new role, If any,
should parents play?
Perhaps the most impor-
tant element in a teacher
parent meeting is the ex-
change of information about
the child. Both parent and
teacher should ask questions
which invite the other to
contribute helpful informa-
ton.
For example, If a child does
careless work, the teacher
may be able to suggest ways
in which parents can lend
support to the teachers eff
forts to bring about improve
ment.
The result of this pooling
of ideas between home and
school can be a better under

Indeed, it is the awareness

them to greater efforts than
ever before, in food produc-
ton, industry, science.
Eighteen years after being
flattened by blockbusters and

obliterated and its merchant
marine on the bottom of the

feet as the strongest, most
prosperous country in Asia
And this is not the end.
They are making use of every

uSable farmland to feed them
selves. They build the worlds
biggest tankers, and more of
them, than any other coun-
try; they lead the world in
producing cameras, transistors.

rate is the highest in the world.
Even Germany's remarkable
comeback does not match it.
1t is more than double Amer
ica's growth rate.

ing in the '30s. You can buy
top-quality steel products from

Economically, Japan has
made one important mistake
since the war. 1t takes one in
dustry at a time, builds it up
until 1t is over-expanded and
can't find enough overseas
markets-and then the indus
try has to be cut down. The

on shipbuilding, steel, and tex

slowed down, I am told, will be

These are stop-gap policies.
