High Life in High Places Called Sign
Of Disarmament of IdeoIogies

Men in public life are no
longer expected to be above
reproach as Caesars wife, we
are told. The fact that Pro-
fumo lied to Parliament was
his great crime. But behind
all this remains the fact that
the head Of the British Army
became indelicately involved
with Christine Keeler and a
Russian spy. And as though
this was not enough, quite
unashamedly, a night club Of
fered this call girl a contract
at a fabulous figure for a
12-week appearance as an
emcee.
The barbarian hordes from
the East do not want nor
need to initiate their prede-
cessors of centuries ago by
taking a military risk. They
need only to gently push and
encourage the moral col
lapse of their victims.
Wherever we look in this dis
traught world we find the
hand of the Muscovites be-
hind every crisis.
In West Germany Chancel-
lor Adenauer was forced to
announce his retirement be-
cause of Der Spiegel scandal.
On the surface this was a
badly managed affair by the
"Bavarian bull" Defense
Minister Franz Joseph
Strauss. But actually, Der
Spiegel and its editors were
suspected by the German and
other intelligence services as
a channel for the Soviet es-
pionage system. Had the mat
ter of the badly managed ar
rest of Der Spiegel editors
not caused so much interna-
tiona1 uproar, an orderly in
quiry would have shown how
deep the Russian espionage
had penetrated into German
ministries.
This would have shown, as
in Britain, sexual perversion,
bribery and corruption. But

from a guilt complex because
Of two world wars they in
itiated, preferred to hush up
an affair In which one of the
ministers had acted undemo-
cratically.
But even the United
States shows a deterioration
unworthy Of a young and
strong Nation. Political am
billions have caused men to
shut their eyes to our moral
disarmament under the cover
of freedom of speech" free
dom of religion" and "con-
stitutional rights" Under
these noble covers provided
us by our founding fathers,
obscenity in literature is per-
missive; Jesus has been
down-graded and a leading
theologian discusses the cir
relevance of God" who is "al-
most ridiculous"
The racial crisis which pre-
sentS an unprecedented threat
to America is one of racial in
tegration rather than of de-
segregation. If our leaders
who are now in office were to
take a little time and study
the available records of the
last 80 years they would find
that the Communists have
worked assiduously and pa
tiently to bring about the
present state of the Nation.
While Premier Khrushchev
denounces the moral degrada-
ton of Russian artists, the
Communists encourage 1t in
the free world. While Russian
writers are publishing poetry
and classics, our bookstalls
provide either moral trash or
leftist propaganda in album
dance.
The free world is collapsing
normally while dolce vita and
power politics prevail, be-
clouding the real meaning of
the crisis. And modern
architecture being what it
is, there won't be any glori-
Gus ruins to remind future
tourists that at least we had
good taste, If not good sense.

Brezhnev q Possibility
As Khrushchev Heir

MOSCOW, June % (AP)-
Leonid Brezhnev, the 57-year-
old figurehead President of the
Soviet Union, moved into the
limelight today as a possible
heir apparent to Premier
Khrushchev.
Mr.. Brezhnev and Ukrainian
party boss Nikolai Podgorny
were elected yesterday to the
party secretariat. making the
bushy-browed President the
only Soviet leader besides Mr..
Khrushchev to hold key party
and government posts. Mr..
Khrushchev is both party chief
and Premier.
Mr.. Podgorny, a member Of
the Presidium since 1860, has
been Mr.. Khrushchev's top ad-
miniStrator in the Ukraine for
the last six years.
Mr.. Brezhnev's elevation to
the higher brackets of the
party leadership, where the real
power lies, had been forecast
since First Deputy Premier
Frol Kozlov was hospitalized
two months ago with a blood
clot on the brain. Mr.. Kozlov
suffered a heart attack earlier.
Mr.. Khrushchev had pub
licly called Mr.. Kozlov his prob
able successor.
Mr.. Kozlov was in charge of
the party apparatus as top
secretary Of the Central Com
mittee bureau of secretaries.
Now Mr.. Brezhnev has moved
into the ranks of the secretaries,
although not as top man.
Mr.. Brezhnev was named a
secretary once before-in 1856
but resigned after becoming
president Of the country.
The Communist leaders meet
ing in the Kremlin also struck
two compromised figures from
its membership list. They were
Salken Daulenov, ex-premier Of
the Kazakhstan Republic, and
Sergei Varantsov, former Soviet
Army marshal who was denoted
for compromising contacts with
Oleg Penkovsky. recently ex-
ecuted for espionage.

ROME.-The catastrophe
ills Of the world today are
not due to political, but to
moral deterioration. AS a for
mer Italian prime minister
said recently, What we are
seeing is a disarmament of
ideologies."
We are seeing an unprece-
denied weakening of moral
fiber throughout the free
world and no amount Of bill
lions spent on armed might,
nor calculated risks in dis
armament agreements, will
make any difference so long
as basic moral values are
cast aside.
The Roman Empire did not
fall under the impact of bar
barian attacks alone. The fall
was preceded by a preference
for an easy, careless life by
the leadership which offered
bread and circuses to the
people to cover its own moral
degradation.
The high civilization, the
"dolce VITA" which the
Roman Empire enjoyed just
before its destruction can be
compared to that which ex-
lists in the present free world.
Wherever we look there are
scandals. strife, and apathy
as the danger to our civiliza-
ton stares us in the face.
The Profumo scandal in
England is a typical example
Of the sorry situation in a
country which in the past
set a high standard of moral
ity In public life. A close ex-
animation of the Profumo af-
fair shows that behind it is
the ever present shadow of
the Communists, always
ready to take advantage of
the frailties of men.
The personal life and
amorous adventures of the
British war minister, we are
assured, had nothing to do
with his disgrace or the
troubles Of the Tory cabinet.

Tribute Paid
Dr.. Waterman

Scientific and Government
leaders paid tribute last night
to DR.. Alan T. Waterman, re-
firing director Of the National
Science Foundation.
DR.. Waterman, who has
headed the foundation since its
inception in 1851, was praised
for his leadership in the fields
of administration of scientific
research. The foundation has
grown from a SIS million dis
burser of funds at the time of
it's creation to a $500 million
level in the coming fiscal year.
DR.. Waterman, who has
passed the retirement age OF
70, is being succeeded next
month by DR.. Leland J. Ha-
worth, o member Of the Atomic
Energy Commission.
Vannevar Bush, who had the
idea for the National Science
Foundation, was principa a,
speaker at q banquet at the
Statler Hotel attended by about
200 leading scientists. DR.. Bush
headed the Office of Scientific
Research and Development out
of which the Science Founda-
ton grew.
Messages of tribute to DR..
Waterman from the three
Presidents under whom he
served were read at the meet
ing. The foundation was
created by President Truman,
it grew spectacularly under
President Eisenhower and has
reached its present level in ex-
cess Of $500 million under
President Kennedy. The in
cumbent Presidents message
was read by DR.. Jerome B.
Wiesner, presidential science
adviser.

How did he come so fast?
He played on the prejudices
of those whose legitimate as
pirations had been denied.
He appealed to the greed and
cupidity of those who wanted
riches and power. He per-
suaded tycoons Of business to
support him so he could pro-

when he attained power he
betrayed them all. First to go
were his original Black
Shirts. They were a bad lot
and so most Of them were
executed. Then he took the
wealth of the rich. He de-
stroyed the unions.
