Metric System

1t is probably too much
to expect that Congress will
pay any attention to the bill
introduced by Representative
Miller of California to au-
thorize the Bureau of STAN
dards to make a study Of the
impact on the country Of a
change to the metric system
for weights and measures.
(Jenkin Lloyd Jones Lets
Get With the Metric Sys-
tem.")
All logic is in favor Of our
abandoning the somewhat
absurd system we inherited
from the mother country.
However. this is not a mat
ter of logic but of folkways.
This is an area in which
we are "culture-bo bound. At
tempts to reform the calen-
dar have gotten nowhere, not
to mention the sporadic eff
forts here and there to take
the "ough" out of tho and
thru and tuff and the rest,
or even to take little "b"
out of lam.
Still and all, the demands
OF commerce may sometime
push us into accepting the
metric system. Britain within
the past year has adopted the
Centigrade thermometer-to
the dismay, Of course, of
many. She is also in the
process Of abandoning her
cumbersome Ito us) none
tary system for one based
on the decimal system. If
the metric system can be
shown to be more economic
cally efficient. we may &C
cept it, but we will not do
so simply because it is more
rational. Nevertheless all
true believers" in nationality
and the metric system
should support Representa-
tive Miller and applaud Jen-
kin Lloyd Jones for his in
formative and timely article.

released and honorably dis
charged from the service.
However this case turns
out, the Air Force has much
to answer for; so does the
Defense Department. The
ambiguous conditions under
which Anderson was held
and the allegation by an
Idaho Judge that "gestapo"
tactics Of browbeating we're
used to obtain the confess
sion, are under investigation
by the FBI.
The question Of what is
voluntary" is the entire
issue in these cases. I am
delighted that State prac-
tice in this area is to
come under the scrutiny
Of the Federal courts, be-
cause the Constitutions 14th
Amendment requires the
States, too, to follow due
process Of law. For the in
formation Of your editorial
writer, it requires a test to be
brought to the Federal courts
by a complainant before a
decision can be made by the
Federal courts on the prac-
tice in Oregon or any other
State on arrests and arraign-
ment.
Your writer should also be
informed that a United
States Senator does not fix
the laws and police proce-
dures in his own State. His
jurisdiction is limited to Fed
eral laws. But I shall well
come the application of the
same "due process" require
ment to the States - includ-
ing Oregon - as is required
in Federal jurisdictions.
The Star is free to put the
word voluntary" in front Of
any kind Of confession it
wishes. For my part, I shall
stand with the Federal
courts in their determination
Of what can be presumed to
be voluntary and what can
not. I continue to hope that
some day The Star will join
in encouraging respect for
law and order in the District
Of Columbia by UNFOLDING
the definition Of law instead
Of flouting it.
AS for the filibuster, I shall
not embark on any defense
Of the Mallory rule through
prolonged debate Without
first offering again my reso-
luton to permit a simple ma
jority Of Senators to termi-
nate debate. I always offer
; that proposal when I partici-
pate in prolonged debate. 1t
would afford about two
weeks for a minority to
present its case before a vote
is taken on the merits Of the
measure under consideration.
Any time the Southern Sem
ators beloved Of The Star
want TO vote such a rule into
effect, they will have my
help.

President Kennedy, like
almost vail right thinking
Americans, is inclined to take
h certain number of things
more or less for granted.
Among them, one of the
most fundamental convic-
tons is the sanctity Of the
Atlantic Alliance. NATO for
right-thinking Americans is
not only the cornerstone Of
American foreign policy, but
also a permanent essential
for Western security.
1t is an indefinite Ameri-
can commitment. It is the
formula which, so far as
Americans are concerned, will
for all time determine their
relations with Western
Europe.
AS the President sees it,
the ups and downs of the
NATo alliance are largely q
function Of the Communist
threat. Thus in his last press
conference he pointed out
that "our difficulties in Eu-
rope have come because the
military threat to Europe is
less than 1t has been in the
past" And that the ensuing
problems are both natural
and inevitable"
One may hope that the
President is right. But the
fact remains that a certain
number of Europeans see the
problems differently. And
that today the whole concept
Of the Western alliance is
under serious attack for the
first time since the war.
The essential argument Of
these critics Of NATO is that
the Communist threat to
Europe is not only less but
entirely different than it was
at the time that NATO was
founded. The changes that
have taken place in the tech
nology Of warfare in the past
10 years require, in their
view, complete rethinking Of
the classic diplomatic and
military alliances.
Not all these critics are as
extreme or as dogmatic as
Gen. Pierre Gallois, the re-
tired Air Force officer who is
President de Gaulle's mentor
in matters Of nuclear strategy
and the father-at least pre-
sumptive-of the French nu-
clear force de frappe." But
1t is precisely because Gen.
Gallois is extreme and dog
matte that his views have a
considerable impact in Eu-
rope and deserve serious at
tention in the United States.
Each Can Destroy Other
Gen. Gallois starts from
the proposition that the nu-
clear arsenals Of the United
States and Russia are each
capable Of destroying the
other country and are-or
soon will be-each invulner-
able to the other. This fact in
itself rules out the counter
force" theories of Pentagon
planners which seek to limit
nuclear attacks to military
targets and makes destruc-
ton of population centers in
evitable in case of war.
From this Gen. Gallois ar
CUES that a full-fledged nu-
clear war between Russia
and the United States is, in
fact, unthinkable and that
NATO, along with every other
military alliance, is obsolete.
In the past, a commitment
to come to the aid Of another
country involved, at worst,
only limited risk. If things
went badly, one could lose an
army or a province. If the
war was lost altogether, one
risked domination and eco
nomic hardship. And under
these circumstances both
wars and alliances made
sense.
Today, so the argument
runs. they do not. For one

nation to accept its own GER
tain and complete destruc-
ton to help another nation
is both illogical and absurd.
The United States, as Gen.
Gallois sees 1t, is already in
the process Of withdrawing
its nuclear guarantee of
Western Europe. He conf
IDENTITY predicts the departure
Of American troops within a
few years.
NATO admittedly was
born after the beginning of
the nuclear era, but It was
grounded on two fundamen-
tai assumptions which have
since disappeared. First was
the nuclear supremacy of
the United States which the
Russians have overcome.
Second was the promise of
instant and massive retalia-
ton" of the John Foster
Dulles era which in Gen.
Gallois' view has been very
seriously compromised by the
leaders of the new admins
tration.
GallOis' Argument
So far as conventional
ornaments are concerned, he
points out that no one has
ever argued that Western
Europe could be defended
without the use Of nuclear
weapons. Even assuming such
armies could be raised, they
would be useless since, massed
for conventional warfare,
they could be exterminated
in a single nuclear attack.
The alternatives as Gen.
Gallois sees it are either an
absolute and unconditional
guarantee by the United
States that nuclear weapons
would be used from the be-
ginning Of any attack on
Western Europe or else a
truly independent deterrent
in the hands Of at least one
European country. In Great
ing its force de frappe, France
is opting for the second Of
these alternatives.
The purpose quite simply
Is to make war between
Russia and Europe as I'M
thinkable as it is between
Russia and the United States.
Even If the French deterrent
Is relatively small and weak,
it will in the generals mind
represent the only real mill
tary security for Europe
within a few years time.
This argument, it will be
said, represents only the ex-
IRENE views of a single mill
tary expert. It differs from
the official views of the
French government, however,
only in one important re-
spect.
Gen. de Gaulle does not
believe the Western alliance
is obsolete. He believes, in
fact, that it will be necessary
for a long tinse to come. But
only when both parties of
the alliance-Europe and the
United States-possess their
means Of defense and their
freedom Of initiative can a
real alliance - as opposed to
a protectorate - come into
being. 81
These arguments are seri-
Gus and entirely sincere.
They have nothing to do with
grandeur" or narrow ma
tionalism. They are not born
out of any underlying hos
tility or mistrust of the
United States.
Americans who ask Euro
peans to intrust their entire
security to the United States
should ask themselves
whether they as Americans
would be willing to do the
same with any other foreign
country. And whether the
efforts of an ally to build the
means Of its own defense are
necessarily contrary to the
interests Of the Alliance as q
whole.

weeks of age. The calves also
received a limited amount of
milk from birth to six weeks
of age, plus a calf starter fed
at a maximum of three pounds
per calf per day.
Average roughage consump-
tioR per animal for the l4o-
day trial was 43l pounds for
the hay group and l,244 pounds
for the corn silage group. The
group receiving both hay and
silage consumed n pounds Of
hay and l,255 pounds of silage.
Henderson points out that
dairymen who use corn silage
to replace hay In the ration
must make up for the vitamin
D and calcium deficiencies In
the silage. IT'S best to feed a
vitamin D supplement as well
as steamed bone meal along
with silage.
It is also important that the
calves eat the silage we'll, since
they will have to consume about
three times as much silage as
hay to get the same amount of
dry matter.
One way to encourage corn
silage consumption is to clean
out the feed box and feed fresh
silage each day, Henderson
adds.

Physical Therupists
Are Greatly Needed

Do you have a love of people
and a desire to help them?
Would you like to help an in
jured child walk and play again
or aid disabled man to re-
sumo supporting his family? If
you do, the career for you is
that of physical therapist.
Mr.. Richard R. Leclair, Ex-
ecutive Director of the Della
ware Society for Crippled Child
ren and Adults, stressed the
dire need for physical thera-
pists In Delaware at a recent
meeting of the Kent County Aux
iliary to this Society In the
home Of Mrs. George Ehinger
In Dover. This need is also
felt In all the other 40 states.
The Delaware Society Is trying
far and near to locate trained
people In physical therapy.
Such a trained worker or
therapist would be one of the
specialists who carry out the
physicians prescriptions for
treatments provided through the
use Of exercises, heat, light,
water, electricity and massage.
AS qualified physical thera-
ptst, you would work with a
medical team Of physicians,
social workers, vocational
counselors, nurses, and occupa-
tional therapists toward the total
rehabilitation of the patient.
AT the present time there are
approximately $500 unfille d
positions waiting for qualified
physical therapists, and the need
IS expected to increase. Oppor-
tunitieS range from a choice of
working situations In hospitals,
schools, rehabilitation centers,
physicians offices and home
care programs to supervising,
teaching, research and admin
tstration. The Delaware So
ciety's Rehabilitation Center In
Georgetown under the direction
Of Mr.. Wilmer F. Loomis IS
serving the community as a
therapy center. The load Is In
creasing by the week and more
therapists must be hired to help
with this increase.
If you have an ability to work
with people, are patient, and
have good physical and mental
health, you may be interested
In a career In physical therapy.
You will find scholarships avail

Expect The
Unexpected

Every emergency is different.
Are you ready?
eff an emergency catches you
unprepared, what you don't know
about protecting your home and
family could be costly even
fatal to them and to you,"
says county agent VIM. H. Hen
derSon.
In early America, every fam
lily had a survival plan. When a
fire, flood, or Indian attack
threatened, each person had a
job to do. Natural disasters :
tornadoes, floods, blizzards,
fires, hurricanes, ice storms :
still happen. The possibility of
nuclear war poses an additional
threat to all Americans.
To survive, modern Ameri-
cans must be just as alert, just
as prepared as their forefathers.
If you plan for an emergency
before it occurs, your chances
of being alive and healthy after
ward will be greatly increased.
Henderson suggests picking
the safest place in your home or
on your farm. Add shielding to
make it better. A shelter needn't
be elegant, only safe. Be ready
to take advantage of the best
shelter available at all times.

Protect Pigs

Swine producers should be
thinking about protecting their
pigs from the cold weather, re-
minds VIM. H. Henderson, county
agent.
Goodness, drafts and damp
ness are profit cutters with all
sizes and ages of pigs, but they
are much more severe On the
smaller pigs, he points out. For
the first couple of days after
narrowing, a little pig cannot !.
endure the winter weather. A
chilled pig at narrowing will tend
to be poor pig if it survives.
Winter weather may reduce
your profit if you feed your hogs
in open lots, Henderson says,
but if the pigs are protected
from the weather, they can be
fed more efficiently.
