La Prensa, a venerable (85 years old) and

The political picture in Argentina
following the downfall of Dictator
Juan -Peron is ' developing very
slowly. ' '
Alberto Gainza Paz, publisher of
the famous newspaper La Prensa
which Peron took over, says he be
lieves the military junta, will event
ually dissolve into a return to dem
ocratic government, but admits
strong cross currents are at work
for the moment.
Perhaps the. biggest question to
day is whether the Peronist labor
unions will attempt, and the in
surgent forces be able t prevent,
a general strike. Chaotic conditions
could result, but in the first hours
after verification of Peron's abdi
cation there were no indications of
a workers' mobilization.'
One of the great imponderables
in Argentina now is the future of
the Chrisitan Democratic groups
scattered incohesively through the
country. If they form a regular po
litical party they could be very
powerful. ' ' ,
There's not too much confidence
among North American observers
in ine naaicu rany wmcn repre
sented Peron's chief political oppo
sition. Its leader has opposed Pe
ron's invitation to American inves

as much to opposition to Peron as

American Edge in Air Power Balance j
Being Rapidly Cut by Soviet Production
By JOSEPH ALSOP
(Storyalso in Page 1)
WASHINGTON The Killian

iets will enjoy an important pre
dominance in in

from v 1960 to
1965 is a judg
ment in relative
strength, and
The emphasis on the relative
bargaining positions of the j con
testants in the world power strug
gle is noteworthy. If authorita
tive reports are to be believed, '
the Killian Committee made no
highly-colored forecasts that the
Kremlin would launch a general
war during the predicted period
of the Soviet lead. Whichever side

is nonetheless 1
significant for Joph Ako ;
all that, as is r- r
shown by the committe's report
ed analysis of what may be
called the phases of the Soviet
American power balance.
The first phase, which Is def
initely stated to be past, was the
phase of aackaHea(ed American
aperiority la strategic air pswer
and atomic bombs. Ia this phase,
the American bargaining position
was greatly saperier U the Septet

The second phase, in which we
now find ourselves, is a transit
ional phase. For the present, al
though the United States has long
a?o lost anything like .unchalleng
ed superiority, this country still
has the edge ia strength. There
fore this country, still possesses
some remaining bargaining ad
vantage. On the other hand, this Ameri
can edge is constantly being nar
rowed by the improvements in
tfcs Soviet Strategic Air Force
and Air Defense Command above
noted. Perhaps in two years'
time, the - American edge will
cease to exist altogether, if the
edge does not then actually pass
to the Soviets. The bargaining
position, therefore, is changing
and will continue to change for
the worse ia the present phase.
As for the third phase. U is of

has the lead, general war will
no doubt remain a fearful risk
for both sides.
-What is clearly expected, rath
er, is bold and determined Soviet
exploitation of a superior ) bar
gaining position, whose very su
periority, in turn, will cause a
relatively feeble and uncertain
American and free world response
to the Kremlin's moves. .
The Killian Committee's re
commendations for altering the
projection of Soviet and Ameri
can curves of strength are not
known in detail.
It is oulte clear, however, that

By the same token the Killiaa

mendations for improvement in
America's air defenses are bound
to be enormously costly if im
plemented. For these recommen
dations, the extremely able Rob
ert Sprague of the Sprague Elec
tric j Company, the first Eisen
hower (candidate for Under Secre-.
taryl of the Air Force, reported
ly had the primary responsibility.
At present, both the day and
night fighters of the American
Air i Defense Command are at
least obsolescent, if not actually
obsolete, when measured against
the! new Soviet jet bombers, the
"Bisons" and "Badgers." Hence
a crash effort is required to pro

la ! short, if the projections of

the report demands a series of

One casualty was the circus, which -flopped
attendance-wise and which prob
ably will not be repeated at the Fair for some years to come.
Which leaves Fair officials in something of a quandry, as they
say on TV, because horse shows and rodeos also have failed -to
please stadium crowds in the past. They might try staging
a giant quis show with the horseshow stadium as the main
prize . . . Two biggest disappointments at the Fair this year
were (a) Failure to show that girl being shot oat of a cannon
, on the midway (she broke her arm and was unable to stand
muster) and (b) Failure of the roller-coaster to get underway
before the last days of the Fair (the Portland operator j just
plain didnt get it ap in time). One oddity paid attendance
at the horse races this year was exactly the same, down to tie

it's worse to come back to your meter to find yourself stjuck

you plunk four-bits into that orange-colored envelope, jlick

I' have read The Nation for

too shrilL It has appeared also
to be an apologist for the poli

seemed to be wrong unless it
was in accord with the interest
or policy of the Soviet Union.
1 The Nation has been, how
ever, as it was under Godkin
and under Villard, a steady
champion of civil rights in
America. This 'would make it
unpopular with groups that felt
no compunction about trimming
the rights of dissenters or of
minority elements in the popu

in this fight have made it re

limited circulation.

. Succeeding Miss Kirchwey as
editor is Carey McWilliams,
who has been editorial director
of the publication, and as pub
lisher George C Kirstein, for
merly executive vice president
of the Health Insurance Plan of
Greater New York. Kirstein
says that The Nation, which
"has stood through nearly a
century for progress and re
form will "continue to be
frankly partisan." He writes:
"Our hearts and our columns
are on the side of the worker,
ot the minority group, of the
underprivileged ' generally. We
' side with the intellectual and
political non-conformist in his
clear constitutional right to re
fuse to conform."
There Is a place for the lib
eral publication - which will
fight for the downtrodden.. But
The Nation in its zeal for what-
. ever cause it espouses shows an
intolerance which seems to be
characteristic of crusaders ' I
doubt if McWilliams, who made
a name for himself as a radical
in California, will bring to The
Nation the more moderate tem
per which in my judgment it
needs. -
