in this country, there has been
q deterioration. The great mass
of our people, in high places and
in low, are honest, moral, decent
people. It is the exceptions we
are concerned with here.
No doubt just now all over the
world there are too many who
fall below the normal high stand
ard. Social workers and others
specially concerned with these
problems have been calling our
attention to them for long time.
Others have preferred to remain
silent.
Yet the public indices which
bear upon the problem have been
clear enough. If you look at the
statistics relating to crime, to
adultery in divorce and other
cases, to illegitimate births, espe-
cially amongst young girls, to
venereal disease, and to juvenile
delinquency, itself so much a re-
Election of moral standards in the
country generally and, in par
ticular, in the home, you will see
the clear marks of a deteriora-
ton from 1945 EDWARDS.
All Shore in the Blame
Certainly there is nothing to
suggest any party political bear
ing on the matter except in this
very important sense-that all
parties, equally, have tended to
stress material rather than moral
or spiritual detectives.
There I think all parties-and
you and I-are to blame. ! think
myself that there has been a COM
pick of causes at work. The war
itself, the controls and regula-
tons which followed 1t, the
changed position of our country.
the Illustrations and uncertainties
OF the future these and many
other factors have led us all to
an increasing cynicism, to an in
creasing desire to "eat, drink and
be merry-for tomorrow: Who
knows?"; to an increasing preoc-
cupation with getting and SPEND
ing" and I would add an increas-
ing willingness to abdicate our
personal responsibilities to the
Welfare State.

In all this, more important than
the influence Of political leaders
and beyond their control in a
free society - has been the in
fluence Of the theater, the cinema,
the TV, the paper backs what I
call "the two and sixpenny sexies"
and the press. And not least
the press.

II this reasoning should lead TO

men then would have to rely sole
ly on our arsenal of moral cour-
age, intelligence and patriotism.
These are the counter weapons
to subverSion.
Unfortunately, the approaches
to disarmament are blocked at
many turns by misunderstanding
and fear. The military, for ex-
ample, sense only the dangers Of
arms reduction and oppose even
nuclear test bans. There are those
who permit concern for the eco
nomic impact Of curtailment Of
defense industry and resultant
loss of employment to shadow
their thinking.
Disarmament proposals are tar
gets of opportunity for the mer-
chants of fear and they make the
most of them. They know that
ignorance breeds fear. Right-wing
elements of all shades cry out
against disarmament and warn
of the turnover Of military power
to a United Nations army.
For many practical reasons we
must continue the pursuit of dis
armament, perhaps the most i'm
portant being that the subject of
a disarmament is the most ef-
fective means of keeping open a
communications channel with the
Soviet Union.

Six Missiles on Test
BY HOWARD BENEDICT

Although the submarine can
carry 16 missiles, six were deemed
sufficient to give the crafts al
ternating Blue and Gold crews
firing practice. The missiles were
loaded several days earlier at the
Naval Weapons Annex, Charles
ton, s. C. They were the real
thing except in two respects:
They had no nuclear warhead
and they were heavily instru-
mented for in-flight test data.
The series Of Lafayette tests
had special significance because
the craft is the first of new
class Of Polaris submarines, larger
and more sophisticated than the
10 which preceded it to the firing
line at Cape Canaveral. 1t was
commissioned on April %.
The Lafayette class of subs, 81
Of which are planned by the
Navy, is designed for the ad-
vance Polaris AS model (some-
times called Super Polaris"O, a
2,875-mile-range weapon present.
ly undergoing land pad and sur
face ship flight tests at Canav-
eral. The AS, when operational
in about a year, will give Polaris
submarines a l,150-mile longer
reach than they now have with
the earlier AL and Az missiles.
The increased range will per-
NIT the undersea craft to strike
targets deeper inland or to stand
farther off an enemy shore. All
land areas of the world will be
within reach Of the new missile.
Because the AS is not yet ready
for submarine firings, the Lafa-
yette was to practice with the
Az, a two-stage bottle-shaped
weapon 81 feet tall.

At some future date there win

WurCIuims
Bill Signed
ByPresident
By the Associated Press

President Kennedy signed
yesterday the $73 million Phil
ippines war claims bill, which
reached his desk after a long,
rocky trip through Congress.
The measure provides that
all of the estimated total of
$1,000 claims shall be paid up
to a limit of $25, 900 each. Some
Of the claims are larger than
$4,000.
After these claims are paid,
the remaining $50 million to
$40 million goes into a special
Filipino american educational
exchange fund, to train scien-
lists, agricultural experts and
the like. Their skillS will be
considered to contribute to the
rehabilitation detectives of the
war claims law.
Claims Of those who have
died or cannot be traced are
expected to amount to IS mil
lien to $40 million. This
amount will revert to the
! United States Treasury.
= The law contains stringent
penalties against lobbyists COL

steering the bill through Con-
greSs.
A Juror was touched of
earlier this year when it was
learned that John A. O'Don.

claimed credit for lobbying fol

The legislative draft also
would insure wider circulation
of the information in the
agents registration statement.
At present, the hearings have
brought out, the Justice De-
partment is required only to
send the registration statement
to the State Department for its
comments.
Under the proposed legisla-
ton the registration statement
could be used by the Secretary
of State as he thinks necessary
for improving foreign relations.

received from Pnlllpplne ulCeI-
ests and $4,000 he distributed
in political campaign gifts.
Committee sources said that
other testimony not yet made
public disclosed similar gifts.
The proposed legislation is
expected to be introduced Joint
Ily by Chairman Fulbright, |
Democrat of Arkansas, and
Senator Hickenlooper Of Iowa,
the ranking Republican men,
Der of the committee.
Legislative Provisions
Here are major provisions Of
the proposed legislation:
Foreign principals reachable
by American courts because
they have companies or con-
duct other activities in this
country and do not have diplo-
matte immunity would face
criminal penalties If they at
tempted to make campaign
contributions.
If an agent for a foreign
principal engaged in political
activities, claims the gift is in
his own behalf he must report
the political contribution on his
registration form and let the
public judge.
The criminal penalties would
apply against the foreign prin-
cipals and their American lob
byists as well as the knowing
candidate.
An agent of a foreign princi-
pal furnishing political propa-
ganda to any governmental
official, member of Congress,
or congressional committee,
would be required to state that
he was the agent Of a foreign
group during his visit.
Copy of Statement
Were the agent testifying be-
j fore a committee, he would
have to provide the committee
with a copy of his most recent
registration statement which
would be put in the record as
part of his testimony.
Present law requires agents
to identify the propaganda they
send through the mails but
does not cover face-to-face
meeting. Several of the hear
ings have brought out that
agents failed to identify their
sponsors to members of Con-
gress or congressional commit
tees.
The proposed law would limit
the type of agents required to
register to those engaged in
political activity or in trying
to influence foreign policy
through fund raising and pub
lie relations activities.
The law as it stands now is
considered so sweeping that
individuals with a remote con-
nection to a foreign principal
cannot believe the law applies
to them and they thus fail to
register. The theory Of the pro-
posal is that by limiting the
class Of agents covered under
! the registration law, compliance
; would be improved.
!, Injunction Proposal

vide for injunctions against
! agents who fail to register or
J fail to provide full information.
