Europe" which has emerged
from the devaStations of the

our prestige, particularly in
the last year. has taken a
sharper dip than the stock
market did on Black Monday
last May.
We have received friendly
warnings that no nation
throughout history, including
the far-flung Roman Empire,
has had inexhaustible re-
sources, and that unless we
trim our sails in domestic and
and foreign expenditures we
be faced with a situation
which may make it impos-
sible for our European friends
to help us - much as they
want to. Our present leader
ship has been warned more
than once that America is on
the way to becoming "a land
of limited possibilities" Our
economic and military COM
mitments have become too
great a burden.
The French, Germans and
Italians who owe us money

before the date due, in an
effort to help the dollar

We are not disliked, as was
the case after World War I;
quite the contrary. But Eu-

Uncle Sam, once a sharp
horse trader, now shows so
little political and economic
realism.
G. Mennen Williams, As
sistant Secretary of State for
African Affairs, has just con-
cluded a tour of European
capitals where he endeavored
to persuade Paris. Bonn and
Rome to lavish their taxpay-
ers' money on the underde-
veloped peoples. France, he
was politely told, had spent
more than SIS billion on her
former colonies in Africa and
expects to spend much more
in devastated Algeria. Ger
many and Italy-to a lesser
extent-are giving substantial
credits to these have-not
countries.
When our allies are urged
to follow our example with
their own Peace Corps, they
always point to the superb
work done by the dedicated
lifetime missionaries.
Where do you people think
you are going?" is the newt
able question asked your re-
porter. do your leaders real
ly believe you can go to bed

really believe that you can
spend money like a drunken
sailor without serious conse-
quences to both yourselves
and ourselves?"
This is the meaning behind
our slump in prestige.

DAVID LAWRENCE

Most people have been
led to believe that the only
way to provide trans-Atlan-
tic television is by means of
Telstar - the communica-
tons satellite now orbiting
the earth. Actually, some
day it may prove more eco
nomical to transmit televi-
sion signals by cables laid
under the ocean.
Most people also don't
know that the TelStar is
risky in that another gov
eminent undoubtedly could
jam" it out of operation
any time it wanted to make
the effort.
It's hard to understand
why there is so much ex-
element about the Telstar
stunt when voice transmits
sion by radiotelephone, both
from ship to shore and from
shore to shore, has been go
ing on for almost 20 years.
Today, telephone CONVEX
sations between European
cities and the United States
go on constantly. They are
carried on by both radio
through the atmosphere
and by underSea cables.
What is novel. of course, is
the transmission of televis-
ion signals across oceans.
UP to now, this has not been
done through the air or by
undersea cable. But this
doesn't mean the latter isn't
possible. In fact. this cor
respondent is told by authori-
tative sources that it isn't
as yet clear whether sending
televiSion by Telstar is even
tually going to be as eco
nomical as it would be to
transmit the signals through
undersea cables.
Indeed, more underseas
cables are being laid between
America and Europe right
along. The reason is that
atmospheric conditions, espe-
cially in the summertime, &C.
casionally interfere with ra-
dio transmission, whereas
undersea cables are immune
from that handicap.
There are parts of the
world, such as between Afri-
ca and South America. where
1t probably wouldn't be con-
sidered worthwhile to lay

One Day Brings
Grandchildren

Mrs. Dorothy Meline of Alex
andria became a grandmother
twice in one day-via two con-
tinents.
At about 7 am. Saturday a
baby girl was born to Mrs.
Meline's daughter, Mrs. Rich
ard Ferst, in Caracas, Vene-
zuela, with the proud grand
mother at her side.
Later that evening Mrs. Me-
line received a trans-oceanic
telephone call in Caracas from
Prince Georges General Hos
pital. Her daughter in law,
Mrs. James Meline, III, had
just given birth to a 7-pound,
11-ounce boy.

undersea cables, and hence
the Telstar method would
doubtless be used. But it so
happens that the laying of
an undersea cable between
the United States and Japan
already is planned because
the growth of daily business
transactions demands It.
Another aspect of the
Telstar innovation which
has been overemphasized is
the scientific side. Actually.
there is little in the Telstar
operation that is baSically
different from the thousands
Of microwave relay towers
scattered through this and
other countries except the
power and application sys-
TEN and the environment.
The Telstar operation uses a
well known transmission
theory. 1t doesn't bounce
the signal off the ionosphere.
as is done in radio. but is in
fact, a relay station in space
that extends the otherwise
limited line-of-sight range Of
TV signals.
The consensus among ex-
perts in the communications
field is that technology ulti-
mately will permit both sat-
elites and undersea cables to
be used on a consistent basis
and that the choice eventual
ly will depend to a large ex-
tent on which method proves
more economical and pro-
vides better service for GER
tain areas and purposes, in
GLIDING such considerations
as secrecy and immunity
from artificial interferences.
Television, Of course. Is a
spectacular affair. and for
the time being the fact that
a show comes live" from
Europe by way Of outer space
will continue to attract pop
ular interest. But the novelty
will. soon wear off, because
the television interests Of the
peoples of other countries are
largely in their own national
affairs, due to language bar
