In Moscow, Old Kroosh comes
up with foxy new scheme to
get us out of Berlin.
Let's skip it.
TELSTAR is still the big news.
What really happened yester
day? Well, in Maine we tossed a pic
ture of Old Glory up to Telstar,
which was orbiting the earth. Tel
star rebroadcast the picture. It
was seen quite clearly in France
where viewers said it seemed to
come from . only 20 miles away.
It was seen only fuzzily in Eng
land. The explanation of that, pre
sumably, is that for some reason
the French equipment worked bet
ter than the British equipment.
Why was the picture seen abroad
only in France and England?
The answer is simple. It was
because special antennae had to
be constructed to receive Tel-
star's signals, and only in France
and Britain had these special an
tennae been provided.
Keep this in mind:
Telstar is a RELAY station, op
erating far out in space. It picks
up signals and rcbroadcasts them.
Television signals travel only in a
straight line and can't BEND with
the curvature of the earth. So the
picture rebroadcast by Telstar can
be seen only on a PART of the
.earth.
Before a picture can be seen
ALL OVER THE EARTH there
must be enough Tclstars in orbit
to cover the earth from all an
gles. That will come in time. When
the time comes, TV programs can
be viewed approximately simul
taneously all over the earth.
' Remember this also:
Telstar isn't just for TV. It
makes instantaneous and relative
ly inexpensive telephone conversa
tions all around the earth. It has
tens the time when you will be
able to pick up your phone ami
dial your son or your daughter or
your Aunt Emma in Addis Ababa,
or Irkutsk or Afghanistan as eas
ily as you now dial your husband
at his office to tell him to pick
. up a pound of butter at the groc
ery store on his way home.
Why the relative economy?
For one thing, it will make un
necessary the provision of billions
of miles of telephone wire.
- One more thought:
.' This Telstar achievement is free
enterprise. So far, the dispatches
tell us, it has cost American Tele
phono & Telegraph Co. about 50
; million dollars, which Is only a
drop in the bucket. It will cost
hundreds of millions more which,
of course, AT&T and its stockhold-
, era hope to get back many times
over in added business that tnukes
it possible to pay better dividends
to its shareholders.
In much of the rest of the world
including ALL of tlio communist
world making a profit is regard
ed as a sin. In the United States
of America, thank fortune, it isn't
YET regarded as a sin for an
American person or an Amer
ican corporation, which is a group
of American persons to make
a profit.

K take a long memory to recall how excited we
were when we hurled a comparatively tiny satellite into
space and kept it there. The Russians had beaten us to it
wtth their Sputnik. Our national pride was hurting be
cause we hadn't been first. So our feeble attempt . al
though less spectacular than Sputnik, assuaged our mfeuor-

thusiastic about orbits by our intrepid astronauts, the
idea of shooting a man in a capsule into a vacuum several
hundred miles outside the earth's atmosphere and direc
ting hu fiitrht from earth didn't hardlv seem right. Cer
tainly such events were daring, exciting. But 1 felt that
such flights were somewhat foolish when the astronaut had
a minimum of control over his vehicle. But, as I've seen
the results, I've come to realize that without these daring
jaunts into space we'd still be lacking a lot of knowledge
we should have.
We're told of forthcoming improvement in fields of pro
pulsion and control on the various stages of our rockets.
Soon we'll put two men into orbit in a single vehicle. Be
fore lonir this cansule will be fully controlled. Occupants,
after being hurled outside the earth's atmosphere, will be
able to direct their vehicle. Then will come the time when
we can assemble a space platform from which to make ob
servations. Such a platform can serve as a launching
place for exploratory trips to other planets.
Of course, there's the military angle. A space platform
could be used for purposes of war. But thoughts of a nu
clear war, fought in and from outer space, are so terrify
ing that they, in themselves,
from ever starting, we hope.

It also will be tested as a paraglider in the atmospheric re

Proposed Anti-Red Combo
Gets Off To Slow Start
WASHINGTON (NEA) Or
ganizaUon of a coalition of anti
Communist groups in the United

A first meeting of about 100
right-wing leaders was held
Washington last March on the in
itiative of the Rev. Billy James
Hargis of Christian Crusade, Tulsa,
uxia. iney nau planned to hold a
secona rauy in wasnington in
June. That meeting has now been
put ou till fall.
The organizing committee un
der chairman Edward Hunter of
Arlington, Va., is meeting in Wash
ington July 12. It has taken the of-
ficial name of "Anti-Communist Li
aisonCommittee of Correspond
ence, 1764-1962."
So far, it has put out two letters
to about 1,000 right wing leaders

chief of intelligence, 1939-51; Brig.
Gen. Bonner Fellers, MacArthur's
chief of information, now national
chairman of an anti-foreign aid
committee; Benjamin Gitlow, one
of the original members of the U.S.
Communist party but for the last
40 years one of its principal op

We Need To
Speak Up
Now and again you hear it said
that Americans, in high places
and low, have become too timid
to speak up for their convictions.
It is even contended that some
people simply have abandoned all
conviction and exist in what they
think is a safe no-man's-land.
To produce any sort of conclu
sive evidence would be almost
impossible without exhaustive stud
ies in this field. Most efforts to
gauge the general strength of peo
ple's convictions are fragmentary
and of only partial value.
Obviously, extremists exhibit no
lack of vocal conviction. Indeed,
it is often the very force of their
aggressive assaults that produces
timidity in countless otliers of
more moderate outlook.
Men fear if they speak up for
what they see as reasonable po
sitions in politics, business, edu
cation, or whatever, that they may
endanger their jobs, their status
community, the future of
their children.
Whether there is actually more of
such fear today than in earlier
periods is the question. It may
be so.
We live in a time marked by
incredible complexity. Everything
about us seems to exist in shades
of gray. Yet man is a creature
who likes certainty, a clear choice,
a call to action he can understand.
Inevitably, then, many must re
bel against the shades of grav,
the unsolved puzles, the problems
piling on problems. Thny moot
this age by demanding the coi
taintios I hoy see slipping away
from them.
They insist on these clear choices
not only for themselves but for
everybody else. Thus arises the
"you aio either with us or against
us" approach that characterizes
a good deal of our public debate
on major issues.
If black-and-white attitudes are
expressed with great frequency
and vigor, then many of those who
would normally prefer to take
a more complex, more flexible
stand may fear to speak out. They
conclude that their mows may he
labeled fuzzy, or soft, or defeatist,
or willowy.
Some people, of course, have
views which desurve such labels.
But many others simply are trv-1
ing desperately to put themselves
in dine with these very tangled
issues that confront us on a mount- j
ing scale. 1
If it is true that too many of j
such voices are being silenced by
fear, the loss to the nation and i
perhaps the world is thoroughly I
clear. j
Aware of man's long qucl for
certainly, we cniol expect hu
man wings t!.iv lo adjust qipvk
ly 10 an era whose hallmark seems
the very opposite. i
Yet the great weight of c (Silence

it that men. who hold views be-'

victions. C o
The official July 12 meeting will
I be limited to the committee mem
bers listed above. Later, however.
the session will be thrown open to
interested volunteers.
Principal obstacle to forming the
coalition is not lack of members
but lack of money. Hunter, a vet
eran newspaperman and war corre
spondent, recently completed a
swing around the country to meet
local rightist leaders.
He found that most of them are
having trouble enough raising mon
ey to keep their own movements
going.
Hunter's present idea is that a
list of 1,000 responsible anti-Communist
leaders can be mustered.
They will be asked to pay $15 a
year each to the Anti-Communist
Liaison Committee of Correspond
ence ACLCC this will cover costs
of preparing and mailing out its
intelligence letters to them. In this
way their efforts will be co-ordinated.
In Hunter's first letter to prospec
tive associates of the coalition he
declared that, "We shall not com
pete with any anti-Communist as
sociations or individuals. We op
pose merger. Our objective is co
ordination through information. We
shall have contacts and not mem
bers. . . .
"We will promote contacts be
tween organizations which have al
ready alerted at least 20 million
Americans and can alert as many
more citizens in a citizens' army
to accept their responsibility and
actually do something useful."
The second letter which Hunter
sent out was largely a review of
current literature and congression
al hearings.
GOP Contention
charged Saturday that the Demo
crats drew up a regular party
platform at their convention four
days earlier, rather than a state
ment of principles called for un
der the 1961 postprimary conven
tion law.
"It is obvious," Spencer said,
"that the Democratic Parly has
complied with the law. Our docu
ment not only slates our princi
ples, but goes on lo provide the
voter with a definite statement as
to what the Democratic Party
stands for or against."
Spencer suggested thai Ingalls
look up the word 'platform" in
the dictionary. Spencer cited a
definition in the Webster's New
Collegiate, 'platform a declara
tion of the principles for which
a group of persons stand; espe
cially, a declaration of principles
and policies adopted by political
party."
In Corvallis, Ingalls said 'if
the Democrats thought they were
writing a statement of principles,
as required by law, why did they
not so label their document?
'They called it a platform be
cause that is exactly what it is
and no amount of hindsight or
semantics search will change the
fact nor their own label," he de
clared. "Principles are something for
which a person or a party stand'
irrevocably," Ingalls continued.
"They are not something one
changes like a dirty shirt."
Ingalls said it "seems slrange
they change these principles
every five or six months because
that is what thoy did between
their January convention and
their July convention." He cited
such items as admission of Red
China into the United Nations,
and nuclear testing and disarma
ment. Unemployment

News Analysis:
Two Important Subjects Occupying
Attention Of W. German Chancellor
By PHIL NEWSOM
UPI Foreign News Analyst
In Bonn, this week, two import
ant and interlocking subjects occu
py the attention of West German
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer.
One is the political situation at
home where his Christian Demo
cratic Union has just lost its
majority in Westphalia, West Ger
many's most populous state, and
where cracks are beginning to
show in his national coalition with
the Free Democrats.
The other is the sought - after
political union of Western Europe,
completing a transition which had
its beginnings in the common
market embracing West Germany,
France, Italy, Belgium, the Neth
erlands and Luxembourg.
Last week the shape that will
be taken by the Europe of the fu
ture came under intensive discus
sion in a three-day meeting be
tween Adenauer and President
Charles de Gaulle.
Hope for Settlement
A final communique hailed the
reconciliation between France and
Germany and expressed the hope
that difficulties connected with
Great Britain's request for entry
into the European community
would be overcome.
Reedsport City Dad Learns
To Let Sleeping Dogs Lie
Dr. Jason Boe, Reedsport city
councilman, has learned to "let
sleeping dogs lie."
At this week's council meeting,
he made the seemingly harmless
suggestion the city purchase an
anesthetic gun. With it, recalci
trant dogs, particularly the rabid
ones, could he captured wiinout
danger. The tranquilizing hypo
can be shot from a distance into
the dog to pacify him.
That was enough to set off the
hubbub.
Another councilman, Gordon
Murphcy rose to bis feet and be
gan scathing the city's dog catch
er, Pete Toftdahl, reports corre
spondent Dawn Peseau.
He claimed Toftdahl was just do
ing his job too well, and was using
"seductive" methods to capture
the dogs.
Then the councilmen and audi
ence veered to another subject
the merits of cats, as opposed to
dogs. Councilman Murphey, who
reportedly owns a Beagle, was
the banner carrier for the dog
faction.
As if he hadn't learned his les
son, Councilman Boe again inno

Other decisions which may have
been reached were cloaked in
generalities.
But there was speculation that
Adenauer, at 86, and De Gaulle,
at 72, both hoped to get the politi
cal talks going again quickly,
even before a final decision is
reached on British entry.
This would be based on a be
lief that British entry may not
take place until 1963, and by that
time other changes could occur
increasing the difficulties of po
litical union.
De Gaulle is pressing for a
loose confederation which would
permit France to maintain its in
dependent nuclear policy.
Adenauer in the past has fav
ored a tightly knit federal union
involving considerable sacrifice of
sovereignty, but of late has ac
ceded more and more to the De
Gaulle view.
Small Nation View
Whether the talks can proceed
without Britain depends on the
smaller nations. They have re
garded British entry almost as a
mandatory offset to the weight of
France and Germany.
At home, Adenauer is plagued
by the increasing restlessness of
his coalition partners led by Free
cently tried to explain his sug
gestion was just to prevent injury
in the event of a mad dog.
This was the springboard to an
other subject the history, or
lack thereof, of mad dogs in
Reedsport.
By this time, Dr. Boe was
thoroughly cowed. His recommen
dation went no further. Meanwhile,
with a dogcatcher and a dog con
trol ordinance, the subject of dogs
continued just as hot as when dogs
were allowed to run at large.
