TO the Noon

Your November 3 editorial
ITO the Moon" refers to
some people among us who
in your opinion-"with much
naivete have attached an ex-
travagant degree Of impor-
tance to Premier Khru-
shchev's recent re m arks
vaguely suggesting that he
may be Withdrawing the So
VETS from the lunar race"
I think that In all this
uproar about a remark made
by Mr.. Khrushchev in an
swering to a direct question
asked at his press confer
ence. two quite different
things are confused. One Is
what Mr.. Khrushchev &C.
tually said and the other
is the Interpretation given 1t
by the American press.
AS reported in Pravda on
October 81, Mr.. Khrushchev
was asked whether a flight
OF the Soviet cosmonauts to
the moon at the near future
is planned?" His answer was
that "At the present time we
do not plan any flight Of cos
monauts to the moon. Soviet
scientists are working on this
problem, they study 1t pre-
ciSely as a scientific problem
and conduct the necessary
research I have read re-
ports that the A m orleans
want to land a man on the
moon by 1870. Well, we wish
them good luck :" but I'VE
do not want to compete in
sending people to the moon
without careful preparation"
AS regards how soon it might
be possible to send a man to
the moon, he added merely
that For preparation Of a
successful flight of a man to
the moon it will be necessary
to work a great deal, to pre-
pare ourselves well.
If this reporting is correct,
then Mr.. Khrushchev did not
utter a single word nor give
any hint about any intention
to discontinue or to curtail
preparations for q flight to
the moon. On the contrary,
he stated that Soviet scien-
lists are working on this prof.
ect and are busy with the
necessary research. What he
implied was that science was
not a horse race and If some
people resuma ably the
Americans) are anxious to
land on the moon as soon as
possible, largely in order to be
the first" then the Soviet
Union is not party to such a
race. Its scientists and en-
glneerS have worked, are
working now, and presuma-
bly, will continue to work on
this project until it material
ICES. 1t is immaterial whether
they will be the first, Sec
ond. or third, but they will be
there when the time is ripe.
Prescriptions that Mr..
Khrushchev might be mott
waited by realizations of the
exorbitant cost of the prof.
ect, or by the lack of Suffi-
Gent funds, or by some stra-
tegic considerations, such as
attempting to lure us into a
more relaxed attitude on the
space program are sheer spec
ulation.

NFOCUS ON THE NEWS
/ BY CHARLES BARTLETT
ALook at the Southern Republicans

CHARLESTON, S. C.-The
natures and attitudes Of the
Southerners who gathered
here in the name Of Republic
caniSm testified more elo-
quently than statistics TO the
changes which have occurred
among Southern Republicans
since the party faced its last
great decision in 1852.
On the eve of the nomina-
ton contest between Dwight
Eisenhower and Robert Taft,
the Southern wing Of the Re
publican Party lay in the
hands Of an assortment Of
business executives; profess
SIGNALS, and opportunists. 7 he
executives played Republican
politics for recreation, the
professionals played for pow
er, and the opportunists
played for the intermittent
rewards of patronage and in
fluence.
The new group Of Repub-
lican leaders is less colorful
and individualistic but 1t is
also younger, probably more
able, and certainly more live
ly. They are a suburban
product, first of the Eisen-
hover campaign of 1852 and
more recently of accumulat-
ing resentments against Fed
eral policies.
Old and New Compared
The old group thrived on
the futility Of Southern Re-
publicanism. They stood on
top Of a meagre heap and few
bothered to challenge their
authority. The new hierarchy
talks necessarily Of precinct
workers and organization.
They spend money to hire
staff personnel and print
publications - they perform
in short like fully involved
politicians.
While the old group found
little reason to believe that
the South would fully accept
two-party politics in their
lifetimes, the new group finds
optimism on every hand. "In
the old days we talked among
ourselves" recalls one vet
erap who survived the tran
sitiop, but now this thing
has broken out Of the coun-
try clubs and developed real
roots. We're not talking 70
ourselves any longer"
The new people support
Barry Goldwater with much
the same unanimity that
their predecessors brought to
the cause Of Robert Taft but
with a significant difference
in approach. 1t was Taft OF
nothing" in 1852 as the OLD
leaders fought in a rule OF
ruin" spirit for survival.
They picked Taft end tried
to impose him as the South
ern choice. The new leader;
back Goldwater because hi
suits the Southern mood anc
is likely to expand the re.
spectability of their party

Wet Nam Coup

Your November 4 editorial
dealing with the South Wet
Namese coup d'etat, struck
me as incredibly stupid. You
recite that I'D Diem came to
power and we supported him.
and Cd the people Of South
Wet Nam eventually over
threw him because-and this
is not stated-his autocracy
was intolerably repressive.
You conclude that since "our
primary objective" in South
Wet Nam 'iS victory in the
war against the Wet Cong,
we cannot be too squeamish
about the m eth DDS Of the
new Wet Nam government"
Does it not occur to you
that the way to rally popular
support in the battle against
the Communists is not to
support a government which
offers only resistance and
repression to every attempt
at social, religious, or politi-
cal freedom? While It NAV
not be in our best interests to
permit the total collapse of
Communist government
IN South Wet Nam, I cannot
believe that our interest is
served by giving carte
blanche authority and mill
tary and economic support to
just anyone who calls him.
self an anti Communist.
Surely the lesson of Diem
teaches us that support of
authoritarian relationships
will not enhance our position
in Southeast Asia.

A. Many authorities believe
that this fabulous beast was
not entirely a product of the
imagination. In the Muslin

probably was the one-horned
rhinoceroS of India whose
form became distorted in re-
ports of travellers filtered
through popular legend.
Stories of uniforms may also
trace back to the oryx, a swift
antelope with two horns so
slender that they seem like

This years recipient was
t h e distinguished physicist
and philosopher, Carl Fried
rich Won Weizsaecker. Won
Weizsaecker belongs to that
small group that realized very
early that their science has
shaken much of the basis of
modern society, both in philo-
sophical and relatively i'm

matters.
Six years ago, he and a

He is as much a vehicle as a
choice to many Of them. If
his popularity should fade
and the convention should
turn in another direction,
some would die hard but
many would make the turn
gracefully.
As a rule Of thumb, the
lie aders' emotionalism on
Goldwater runs highest in
the areas which have done
least to develop party organ
izations. Some leaders have
allowed their organizations
and the Goldwater campaign
to become synonymous but
others, recalling the dissi-
dence and disarray which
followed Taft's defeat in
Chicago, are struggling to
keep a line between their
party building and their
Goldwater support.
Amid the well-noted en-
thusiasm for Goldwater at
this Charleston m ee tin g,
some leaders proved surpris-
ingly ready to discuss in pri-
vate conversation the even
tuality that the Senator may
falter. He seems so suitable to
the South that some wise
Southerners find it difficult
to be confident that he will
prove acceptable to the Ma
ton.
GOIdwater Offers Problems
Goldwater holds problems
for Southern Republican
leaders who are not ready to
concede the entire Negro
vote in 1864. Traditionally
Republican Negroes in the
urban South are fatty dis
inclined to back the Senator
for President. In the smaller
cities the loss of the Negroes
would probably be compen-
stated by new votes from the
white extremists. Charleston
Republicans are happy for
example to have a former
State head of the White Cit
liens Council, Micah Jenkins,
as their leader.
But Republicans in large
cities like Atlanta, Memphis,
Louisville and Charlotte
need Negro votes to win State
and local victories. They
must convince their Negro
friends that Goldwater is
constructive on the race issue
or face damage to their hopes
of winning new congressional
seats.
Southern Republicanism
has grown beyond the reach
of easy generalities but the
leaders who gathered in
Charleston displayed a
marked degree of poise and
professionalism in regard to
Goldwater. the race issue, and
their 1864 outlook. These
qualities win make them less
practicable than their 1852
predecessors and more inter-
esting to watch.

In the Garrison finish he rolled

On five other occasions in the
tournament Mischou missed the
