Congressional ment,
about the way Robert McNa.
mara runs the Pentagon have
shown why it is necessary fol
the civilian leaders, not mill
tary men, to make the final
choice on major weapons.
The decisions involve SC
much money and potentially
so many lives that only the
President and his Secretary OF
Defense can make them.
Look at the dollars alone
that are at stake in some Of
Mr.. McNamara's recent de-
cisions:
Awarding the contract on the
Tx fighter plane was a de-
cision to spend So billion to
81 billion-no one knows ex-
actly how much.
Just to choose between the
two competing designs was a 81
billion decision, according to
Mr.. McNamara's calculations.
Many Billions Involved
The Skybolt cancellation in
volved 81 billion. Postpone
ment of the Nike-Zeus anti
missile missile was an So billion
Further development Of the
RS-70 superbomber would cost
81 billion. To produce a fleet
Of the planes would cost many
more billions.
Even in the Pentagon these
figures are impressive.
The lives that may be in
volved in these decisions are
even more impressive. The
weapons themselves and the
policy and strategy decisions
that determine the purchase OF
the weapons can mean life OF
death for many millions OF
Americans.
A decision 70 buy a weapon
or junk ii or postpone its de-
velopment can effect our abil-
ity to deter wars and to fight
them II they come. A wrong
judgment that would have lost
a battle or an army rs years
ago can lose a nation and the
people in 1t today.
Up TO the President
Mr.. Mcnamara says the ma
jor choices can only be made
by the man with ultimate re.
sponsibility for the genera
welfare, the President.
This Is not TO say that the
President. after listening TO the
recommendations OF his mill.
tary and civilian advisers ano
absorbing the advice OF the
Congress. will always be right
II is Just that decisions like
these cannot be delegated.
How should q President &c
about II, however, How should
he impose his judgment on
military matters2
All Of the nuclear-age Presi-
dents have followed the same
general path.
ElsenhOwer's Method
They have taken the military
recommendations Of the chiefs
OF staff and then added In eco-
nomic and, In the broad sense

lens. Also. they personally
have dipped deeper and deeper
into the details OF weapons,
strategy and even tactics.

OF VIEW
Why Civilians Pick Arms

changed our defense posture,
raised defense spending by
roughly $40 billion a year and
blocked the spending Of other
billions. The civilians knocked
Sl3 billion off the Joint Chiefs
recommendations last year.
Why can't the chiefs them
selves-the acknowledged mill
tary experts-make these major
decisions?
Built-in Handicap
The Joint Chiefs have a
major built-in handicap. AS a
committee of three representing
independent services. they are
forced to bargain rather than
analyze problems dispassion-
ately.
In the past, the chiefs have
been able to agree only to slice
a pie three ways or to approve
the status quo (plus a little bit
extra for everyone)
So the civilians control the
analyses and make the deci-
sions.
After Mr.. Mcnamara leaves.
the process might be decentral-
lied. and it might be the con-
troller or the deputy secretary
who turns out TO be the Pres
ident's strong man in the
Pentagon.
But with the stakes as high
as they are in money and sur
vival it would hardly be possible
for a President TO let the gen.
erals and admirals chose their
own weapons again.

The fizzle came as engineers
were trying to reduce a longi-

rippled through the missile on
all previous flights.
The vibration did not affect
Titan us performance as a
military weapon. but the Ma
tional Aeronautics and Space
Administration considers II un-
satisfactory for Gemini manned

might prevent the astronauts
from clearly reading the in

CAPE CANAVERAL. Fla,
April 20.-The Titan II mis-
sile, already plagued by a vibra-
tion problem which makes 1t
presently unacceptable for
manned space flight, has en-
countered an old bugaboo-sec-
ond-stage propulsion failure.
One OF the intercontinental
range rockets roared aloft yes
terday on an intended 5000
mile test flight. but halfway
through second-stage burning
the engine suddenly quit and
the vehicle plummeted into the
Atlantic ocean far short Of Its
goal.
The failure, fifth In l3 shots.
could have a delaying effect on
Titan us development as the
United States most powerful
war rocket and also on the
project Gemini manned space
program. Titan II has been
selected as the booster for the
two-man Gemini capsule.
Believed Corrected
All five Titan II failures re-
suited from premature shut
down Of the upper stage power
plant. The problem cropped
up early in the program. and
the Air Force called a salt In
flight testing for nearly two
months last summer TO make
corrections.

Hearing Fades As Age Ambles Onward

CHICAGO R - MT. average male, just past his 32nd birthday sits down at the breafast table with his wife as usual. She casually asks if he would like sliced bananas on his cereal. He continues read ing his newspaper in silence.
 "What's the matter with you," she cries in exaspiration. Why don't you answer me?"
 Well, why don't you speak up?" he retorts, not aware yet that people, especially females with igh-pitched voices, will have to talk little louder from now on for him to hear them as well.
 And, studies by St. Louis psychologist indicate, the average male will lose more of his hear ing at about age 50 and suffer third drop in hearing acuity when he reaches the 59-65 age bracket.
 Dr. John Corso, Ph.D., drew his conclusions on hearing loss with advancing age from study of 912 men and women who had been ex- posed to a minimum of industrial noise and were presumed to have normal hearing.
 Writing in the current archives of environmental health, published by the American Medical Assn, he said a dimunition in hearing acuity becomes noticeable in men at age 32 and in women at age 37.
 Marked changes in the hearing of men, he said, occur on the aver age in steps of about Is years. In women, he added, the changes are more gradual, with deterioration fairly uniform.

(EditoriaI)

When there is a full field to choose from -.
a field from which one might choose a capable
or incapable man, a politician or a statesman.
a performer or a promiser, to fill the highest
office in our great state it becomes the
duty of every citizen, and especially every
newspaper, to carefully and diligently seek out
arid support the candidate who can and will
govern in the best interest of the state and its
people.
Our lot has been cast. Our choice has been
made for a man whom we believe can and will
guide us through the next four years with dig
nifty, honesty and diligence.
In our present state Of uneasiness over the
relationship between state and federal govern
ment, it would seem to be a good time to put a
man in the governors chair who took a firm
stand against the National Democratic party
and it's candidates in 1860, stuck to it in 1861
ard 1862, and still stands steady as a rock with
that same belief in 1863. We need a man who
fought for our freedom against the federal gov
eminent through the years rather than one
who would join the popular bandwagon during
election year. 1t would stadd to reason that
such a man would work and fight for these
principles during the coming four years.
We believe our state needs a man in the
governors office who will stand up and say ex-
actly, without variation, what he believes in,
regardless of when or where the occasion arises
to do SO, and regardless Of the popularity Of his
stand a man whose sincerity cannot be
questioned a man whose simple frankness
signifies truthfulness and a clear conscience
a man who obviously has nothing to hide.or
hide from.
MississiPpians need a man who is indePen-
dent of political ties, capable Of honest and eff
fficient government. and courageous enough t.
carry out his positive, realistic platform.
We believe Mississippi needs Charles
Sullivan.
