Secret Radar Defense
Inventor Denied Suit
Against Government
New York (U.R) The invent
or of a top secret radar defense
system has been denied the right
to sue the government for com
pensation because the evidence
is too secret to place in even a
sealed court record.
Federal Judge David N. Edel
stein said there was no question
that the inventor, nationally
known physicist Dr. Otto Hal
pern, is "called upon to make a
heavy sacrifice in the interest
of national security."
Halpern's suit, filed many
months ago, asked an undeter
mined amount of compensation
from the government for its use
and the use by United States
allies of "a manner and means
whereby an jobjective may
escape observation by r a d a r."

patent has been issued because
of a top secret government class
ification but claimed he was en
titled to compensation and ask
for a secret hearing in federal
court chambers.
The government last Septemb
er . asked for dismissal of the
suit with' a formal claim of priv
ilege backed by a letter from
Navy Secretary Charles S.
Thomas. The letter said the pa
tent application and all docu
ments relating to it are "...mil
itary and naval secrets, classified
as such at my personal direc
tion. Production or release of
this classified information would
seriously hamper the administra
tion of the Navy's research pro
gram, would prejudice the sec
urity of the U.S. and would not
be in the public interest."
Judge Edelstein ruled that the
court could not guarantee that
even a secret hearing would not
jeopardize the national security.

Douglas T. My mother-in-law
should go to a home for the
aged.
Pauline T. I just haven't the
heart.
Douglas T. My wife and I
are in our early 60s and have
three children, all married and
on their own. I always looked
forward to enjoying this part of
our lives, but things aren't wor
king out as I had hoped.
My mother-in-law, who has
lived with us for the past ten
years, has become an invalid
and must be waited on hand and
foot. We've tried to get in a
housekeeper or nurse to take
care of her, but nobody seems
to work out. The old lady is
hard to handle and they either
tire of the job or my wife lis
tens to her mother and fires
them.
I feel that she should be put
in a home for the aged. I know
it's a big expense and we won't
be able to do many of the
things we had hoped, but at
least my wife would have some
freedom and could enjoy life.
However, she absolutely refuses
to listen to reason on this sub
ject. Pauline T. My mother has
feared for years that I would
send her to a home for the aged
and I have often reassured her
about it. I just haven't the heart
to do such a thing.
My mother complains - all the
time that the nurse hurts her
when she handles her, and says
that nobody gives her such good
meals as I can make. She says
she can't even enjoy the radio
and TV when I'm not around to
adjust things the way she likes
them. If I go out for the day,
she cries all day. I wouldn't see
these things if she were away
in a home, but I couldn't live
with my conscience.
I feel that people have no
right to evade their responsibil
ities to aged parents. Old age is
something we all have to face
and we don't want to be thrown
out in the cold when our time
comes. My mother was a won
derful mother to me and the
least I can do is stand by her
when she needs me. Someday
I'll be in her place.
The Council: Pauline's senti
ments are certainly natural and
understandable. The problem is
heartbreaking and it is one that
nearly everyone must face in
some form.
She should realize however,
that there can be some sort of
reasonable limit to love and
duty. Responsibility toward an
aged parent does not require a
100 per cent sacrifice of one's
own life, and that is the sacri
fice Pauline is now making. She
is submitting to tyranny from
a person who is not able to
use her judgment.
As a mother, Pauline knows
that she could not let love for
her children stand in the way
of crossing them when she con
sidered it necessary. She is now
really in the same relationship
to her mother that she once was
toward her children, yet she
treats her mother as though she,
Pauline, is the child. She must
recognize that her mother is not
the best judge of her own sit
uation at this time.
Pauline's anxieties about her
own old age further enslave her
to her mother, but she should
recognize that although she
would not like to be "thrown
out in the cold," neither would
she like her children to totally
sacrifice themselves.
The home for the aged may
not be the best answer in the
case, but Pauline should use the
services of a professional since
she is able to do so. She should
steel herself against taking her
mother's complaints too seri
ously. Most invalids are cranky,
but in the long run their lot is
not made easier by total sub
jection to their will.

No Relaxation of
Red China Trade
Washington U.R) The
United States will not approve
any move by its allies to sell
war potential materials to Red
China, or any member of the
Communist bloc, an administra
tive spokesman said today.
Harold C. McClellan, assistant
secretary of commerce for in
ternational trade, made the com
ment on current negotiations
among the allies on East-West
trade problems. Britain and
Japan particularly want a relax
ation of trade controls.
McClellan, for 30 years presi
dent of the Old Colony Paint &
Chemical Co. of Los Angeles,
noted that for some time this
country has been under increas
ing pressure from its allies to re
lax East-West trade controls.
The State department an
nounced last Saturday that it is
ready to discuss certain modifi
cations in trade curbs with 14
U.S. allies who participate in
the trade control program.
McClellan said in an inter
view the U.S. took the move to
avoid ' the possibility of losing
all controls on, trade with Red
China and other Soviet bloc na
tions. He said this danger was
present because of the pressing
need of the allies, particularly
Britain and Japan, for more
world trade.
During the coming talks, he
said "we will insist on complete
safeguards against trading, in
any strategic materials." But he
said the - U.S. probably will
make concessions on trade by
its allies in certain non-strategic
items, particularly in the
Asian trade. He did not name
the items. ,

Senate by the Taxation Com
mittee with a 4-3 recommenda

The vote was strictly along
party lines, with the four Dem
ocratic senators voting for it and
the three Republican senators
voting against it.
Should the vote continue to
be along party lines, the mea

would undoubtedly result in
