The Navy, encouraged by
cost-reducing chronological ad-
vances, has urged that all of
its bigger fighting ships be
nuclear-powered in the future.
If approved, this approach
would be a fundamental switch
from a policy which until re-
Gently has rejected any more
atomic powered surface craft
because they have been so
expensive.
Informed authorities said
today the Navy proposal is
contained in a letter from Ad-
miral George w. Anderson,
Chief Of Naval Operations. to
Secretary of Defense Nc
Namara.
The letter, sent through Sec
retary of the Navy Fred Korth,
is clasSed as secret. But it is
understood to suggest use of
nuclear engines in all fighting
craft heavier than 5000 tons.
Conventional Destroyers
This would cover carriers,
guided-missile cruisers and SIM
liar big ships, but would leave
destroyer types in the OIL
burning class.
After word Of the proposal
came, the Navy issued a state
ment saying it has submitted
recommendations to the De-
Tense Department concerning
application Of nuclear power in
future ship construction" and
that the recommendations had
just been received in Mr.. Nc
Namara's office.
This is a complicated mat
ter and will. of course. require
a good deal of study" the state
ment said. It said there will be
no comment until the recon-
mendations have been studied.
Now Three
The United States now has
only three atomic-powered sur
face warships-the 85.000-ton
carrier Enterprise. the cruiser
Long Beach and the frigate
Bainbridge.

gress recently that advances in

Adeste, FideI

The word from Havana is that
Santa, traditionally held to be a bou-
geois-imperialist lackey, is making a
strong comeback. Cubans have lined up
for the meager gift-supplieS available in
the stores. The state ration apparatus
has recognized the holiday by permit
ting two toys per child.
Apparently on the sound Marxist-
feminist dialectical principle that if you
can't beat 'em, Join 'em, the Communist
state has moved in. On Christmas cards
the wise men from the East are the
missile advisers from Moscow and there's
new Christmas carol: Peace for all
peoples of the world in this Socialist
Christmas, and further progress next
year for the revolution, working and
saving even more" cha-cha.
Most important of all, though. is
the return Of the Christmas tree, an
import item from old bourgeois-impe-
rialiSt Canada. Within the limits of
austerity, the Cubans are having them
selves VIKING ding Socialist Christmas.
It's obvious to all of us that COM
muniSm is changing the Caribbean. but
that's nothing to what the Caribbean
is doing to communism.

National Committeeman

The tax troubles which headed off
the appointment of Frank D. Reeves as
District Commissioner in 1861 would
have been continued embarrassment
for local Democrats If Mr.. Reeves had
decided to seek reelection as Demo-
cratic National Committeeman next
year. Mr. Reeves has had the good
Judgment to realize this, and to with
draw from the race.
His early announcement leaves
ample time before the May primary
for whatever contest may develop for
the job. At the moment, however, the
Rev. E. Franklin Jackson already has
become the odds-on favorite.
He is a strong candidate. Apart
from long party service, Mr.. Jackson is
forceful, aggressive personality. AS
pastor of one of the city'S largest Negro
churches, and as chairman of the local
branch of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People, he
is widely known in the community.
Julius HobSon, the local CORE lead
er, has urged Mr.. Jackson to resign his
NAACP position Immediately, in view
OF the campaign by the NAACP and
other civil rights groups to stimulate
voter registration. On this point, we
think Mr.. HobSon is entirely right. The
get-out-the-vote drive should be con-
Quoted on a scrupulously non-partisan
basis. 1t would be mistake to leave
room for misunderstanding on that
point, of the sort which inevitably would
arise If Mr.. Jackson retained his NAACP
post during the weeks and months
ahead.

Uncertain Mart

The agreement reached in Brussels
this week by the Six-nation European
Economic Community is one in which
everybody has conceded little bit to
everybody else. But President de Gaulle
of France seems to have gained by far
the most-at least in the sense Of hav-
ing presumed the FEC into satisfying
his ultimatum-like demand that such a
compact be signed before New Years
Day.
Appearances can be deceiving, how
ever. Although the French leader has
had his way again (he had implicitly
threatened to wreck the FEC otherwise),
the concessions made to him are strictly
limited or largely temporary in char
acter. That is to say, they are open to
renegotiation on short notice. And the
single agricultural policy that he de-
manded-a policy bearing on prices,
tariffs and the like-is full of enough
loopholes and escape matches to suggest
that 1t may not hold up very we'll when
the FEC (the Common Market) conducts
trade talks with the United States in
the spring.
In that respect, perhaps even more
than most compromises, the new Brus-
sells compact may prove to be a rela-
lively Shortlived and Intellectual thing.
This is so because the Common Markets
memberS-France, West Germany, Italy,
Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxem-
bourg-do not really see eye-to-eye on
number OF basic issues. They all differ
with each other in varying degrees,
sometimes to the point of bitterness.
The French and the Germans, for in
stance, have sharply conflicting eco
nomic interests. AS a result, Paris leans
toward a policy that favorS building a
high protectioniSt wall around the FEC.
Bonn, on the other hand, advocates the
principle of freer trade throughout the
Atlantic world.
The entire membership of the Com
mon Market is split on this question.
So, If the GaulliSt view prevails, it is
difficult to see how the Market itself
will be able to hold together as an
effective cooperative enterprise. Ger
tainly, If it becomes as protectionist as
the French apparently would like it to
be, 1t will be inviting economic warfare
OF the most dangerous kind, not only
with America but with the European
Free Trade Association Self-evidently,
such warfare would mortally imperil the
Atlantic alliance.

Doinq His Best

President Johnson has tried hard to
soften the impact of the Studebaker
shutdown in South Bend. But there
really isn't great deal that he can do.
Mr.. Johnson has called upon the
Labor Department to set up retraining
programs in the Indiana city. This is
something, but not a great deal. He
has also urged the Commerce Depart
ment to make an effort to persuade new
industries to locate in South Bend. This,
too, is something. But after Stude-
bakers experience no miracles should
be expected from it. Mr. Johnson fur
ther has ordered the distribution of
surplus foods to the needy, which can
be done, and he has asked the Defense
Department to try to push through an
Army truck-building program at the
closed Studebaker plant, which may
or may not be feasible.
When one gets right down to it, all
Of these are makeshiftS. Doubtless they
are the best that the President can do.
But the demise of Studebaker IN South
Bend calls for more searching post
norton. What really happened to throw
some 5000 good workers into the jobleSs
rankS-with little hope of worthwhile
unemployment? Was it poor manage
ment? Was it labor costs that were too
high in competitive Industry Was it
a case of Studebaker employees not
believing, or not caring about, what
might happen? From what we have
read, this last does not seem to have
been the case. AS to the other posi-
bilities-quality Of management and
unduly high overall costs-the final
results are not in.
1t is understandable, however, that
there should be a certain skepticiSm,
though mixed with hope, about the
Presidents suggested program. And it
is not possible to read, without compass
sion, the comment of South Bend
businessman who says that what the
people Of his city want most is "perma-
nent work instead Of temporary help"
Unfortunately, no President can
assure these people Of permanent Jobs
instead of temporary help unless the
jobs are in enterprises which can COM
pete-and still pay the bills.

Robson Returns

Paul Robson is back In the United
States where, in addition to taking med
ical treatment, he intends to continue"
what he regards as his lifelong work for
the civil rights movement.
RobeSon's contribution so far has
consisted chiefly of demonstrating a
marked preference for Soviet Russia
over his native land on the grounds that
racial discrimination doesn't exist in
Russia the way it does in Alabama His
original position, of course, was taken
before recent adventures of Ghana stu
dents in the Soviet Union.
Paul Robson was an all-American
end at football and letterman in base
ball, basketball and track. He was
elected to Phi Beta Kappa and spoke for
his Rutgers class at commencement. He
had voice that could move mems souls.
He could, like Marian Anderson, have
sung new song of freedom and justice
in this land.
Instead, like Achilles in his tent,
Robson sulked and enjoyed his bitter
ness. He became a small Soviet triumph,
useful for embarrassing the United
States
While he suffered in the better
hotels of Europe and Russia, the civil
rights movement in America has broken
chains and scaled walls. 1t may be
doubted that the movement needs him

Cyprus and the u. N.

The grave crisis between the Greeks
and the Turks on Cyprus, as with the
report of Mark Twain'S death, seems to
have been greatly exaggerated.
At any rate, the Security Council,
after listening to both sides, found no
threat to peace and no evidence of an
impending invasion by the Turks. This
is good, since real blow-up in Cyprus
would threaten the peace of the Medi-
terranean area, would involve Great
Britain and could we'll bring in other
NATO countries which are allied to both
Greece and Turkey.
Britain has done it's best, ironically,
to cool off the people she so recently
made independent. Both the Turkish
and Greek communities of Cyprus
claimed for many years that they could
run their own island and keep their own
peace. Now they are not so sure. Luckily
about 10000 British soldiers are still in
Cyprus, and they are absorbing the
small Greek and Turkish garriSons there
and are trying to maintain a ceaSe-fire.
These efforts are commendable, but
real cooling off can best be maintained
through the U. N. In similar disputes
just the presence of U. N. observers has
proved affective. If necessary, however,
the U. N. could send neutral troops as
it did during the GAIA strip dispute.
Different nationalities and differ
ent language groups live together in
harmony in many countries. They can

Beware, the Moon!

What useful purpose would
be served by rocketing men
to the moon?
Two main reasons adj
vanced are to beat the Rus
slams to the punch and
mans inherent curiosity,
eliminating in the conquest
Of space. We might discount
the first, as the Russians, If
ever they really did contem-
plate sending men to the
moon, give indications that
the game Is not worth the
candle and, In fact, do not
appear over-anxious to join
with us in such a project. AS
regards the second, we might
do well to make an agonizing
appraisal Of the situation
and cut ourselves down to
size. Even in our galaxy, are
we not as microbes floating
on a speck Of star dust?
What would men encoun-
ter should they reach the
moon, besides conditions
known to be impossible for
unprotected human life,
which alone present most
formidable obstacles to be
Surmounted? They probably
would encounter mountain
GUS crags Of precipitous
rock rising from the surface
Of what we'll may be deep
oceans Of fine dust, the
undisturbed accumulation Of
erosion and disintegration
over the ages, ready to en-
gulf any luckless objects that
land in them.
We even hear Of the moon
being used as a staging
station for flights into deep
space to other planets. Oh
no! Are we not experiencing
enough grief with our for
eign aid here on earth with
out attempting to extend it
to other planets and solar
systems?
Mother Nature may not
deal too kindly with us
galactic microbes should we
attempt to stray too far
afield from our allotted
sphere of activities.

business, why not back the

one that can be eaten or

BILE to counterfeit. Either you

And think of the free ad

Oswald Probe

The most sincere of our
leaders are doubtless aware
of the dangers which may
accrue If it should be possible
to prove that anyone other
than Lee Harvey Oswald was
involved in the infamous plot
to assaSSinate our late Presi-
dent, John F. Kennedy.
II 1t were possible for
anyone to align Lee Harvey
Oswald with the right-wing,
anti-administrative elements
in our Nation, the left wing
ers and the middle-of-the-
readers would doubtless join
forces and begin crying for
blood. Similarly. If 1t were
possible to link or affiliate
Oswald with the left-wing,
socialiStic or communistic
elements in this Nation, the
rtght-wingers would doubt
less be able to raise their
hate-mongering to such a
fevered pitch that the con-
sentative and the middle-of-
the-road groups would be
enabled to bring some form
OF legislative violence, at
least, to bear upon all who
might even seem at all left
of center.
Further, If 1t were possible
to link Oswald with Jack
Ruby In an overall under
world plot. the Nation would
doubtless be torn In the
throes Of revolution. Or If it
were possible to link Jack
Ruby with the responsibility
Of diSposing of Oswald lest
he should divulge the sources
OF his inspiration, motivation
and assistance, then our
Nation would doubtless be in
for a blood bath engendered
by the violence Of goddess
anti-SemitiSm.
Our ship Of state, in recent
months and years, has been
violently rocked by uncon-
scionable fanatics on both
extremes who have appealed
to the gullibility and igno-
rance of the masses; fanatics
on both extremes who have
very little regard for duly
constituted law and order
and no respect for our duly
elected and appointed lead
erS. Thus, If those on the
extreme left or the extreme
right can or are permitted to
use the assassination of our
late President to fan their
fires Of hatred in any ponti-
