Opportunity for Youth
With all due respect to the oldster who gives the
high-school graduate the benefit of his experience
especially as it relates to jobs, future and security
he sometimes mistakes his added years for wisdom.
And no matter how sincerely he wants to protect the
younger ones from the mistakes he made, nor how
politely and appreciatively the teen-ager listens, the
ultimate decision must be the youth's own. He must
do what he likes best, or thinks he can. He must weigh
his talents and liabilities, judge the things that excite
him or leave him cold, appraise his capacities and lim
itations. Frequently, parents forget the kinds of work avail
able these days jobs that didn't exist when they were
teen-agers. A case in point is that of the x-ray tech
nician. X-rays were only discovered 61 years ago. Today
a boy or girl high school graduate can prepare himself
for this highly-specialized job in two years at any one
of 500 approved x-ray training schools. Or else he can
rnmnlete four veare to earn a college decree. When
he graduates and paes the exam of the American
Registry of X-Ray Technicians, he is certified as a
Registered Technician.
From 'Here on in, he is prepared for a professional
position of both respect and security in medicine, in
industiy (where health examinations and x-ray in
spections in industrial processes are being increas
ingly used) in government and in public health agen
cies. In the medical world he's known as the "radiolo
gist's right hand." He processes x-ray filmsln the dark
room and generally assists the radiologist, a graduate
physician who has prepared himself through years of
further study as an x-ray specialist. There are roughly
4,000 of these highly trained specialists practicing in
the U. S. today. And if the technician takes further
training, he then becomes equipped to assist the radio
logist in the actual administration of x-ray therapy.

Governors Consulted
About Turning Back
Functions to States
Editor's note: Lyle C. Wil

dispatches are being written

by the head of the UP Senate
staff.
By RAYMOND LAHR
United Press Correspondent
Washington (IP) President
Eisenhower has a committee con
sulting with governors about
ways for the
federal govern
ment to turn
back some of
its functions
and tax levies
to the states,
And Senator
Barry Goldwa
ter (R-Ariz.) is
proposing that
xtaymona Lanr Congress con
sult governors before it launches
any new programs of federal aid
to the states or expands old ones,
These two efforts point ud an
old issue about which there has
been much talk but little action,
Eisenhower's committee and
committee representing the gov
ernors stuck a toe in the water
at a meeting last week end at
Hershey, Pa.
Ike Proposes Meeting
Ihe meeting was an outgrowth
or a proposal made by the Presi
dent when he addressed the an
nual governors' conference at
Williamsburg, Va., two months
ago. In effect he asked the gov
ernors to put up or shut up if
tney believe the federal govern
ment should have fewer func
tions and the states more.
Goldwater cited the joint move
to realign government functions
in a Senate speech Tuesday
night. He also introduced a reso
lution to require Senate com
mittees to poll the governors
whenever they consider bills
that would put another tap on
the federal treasury for aid to
states.
He felt it would be a tough job
to halt the trend toward more
federal aid which he said had
doubled in the past four years.
He said pressure from special
interest groups and federal bu
reaus would make it tough.
Some of the governors have
thought of other problems, par
ticularly on the sensitive issue
of raising state taxes to pay for
some of the functions they would
take over. Economic competition
between states in an effort to at
tract and retain industry is a
factor in framing their tax laws,
Suggested Tax Proposals
At the Hershey meeting a ten
tative agreement was reached on
taxes which would not have
much effect on the location of
industry. It was proposed that
Russia Closes
Big Water Area
Washington Of) Russia
has closed the wide area of
Peter the Great bay off Vladi
vostok in order to screen mili
tary activities, experts said to
day. Vladivostok is the chief Pacif
ic naval base for the Soviet
Union. Many of Russia's 500
submaries are reported to be
operating out of it in Pacific
waters.
Experts said there are indi
cations the Russians are build
ing up their Pacific naval forces
headquartered at Vladivostok
and are taking measures to pro
tect the area from observation.
The United States made pub
lic Tuesday a strong protest to
Moscow against what it called
the "unlawful" Soviet Action
closing the 115-mile-wide, 55-mile-long
to navigation by for
eign ships and foreign planes.
The Soviet Council of Ministers
on July 20-said Soviet permis
sion would have to be obtained
prior to any future sea-air entry
into the area.
REALLY GOT LESS?
states take over such taxes as are
now levied by the federal gov
ernment on local telephone serv
ice and entertainment, and that
states take a begger share of gift
and inheritance taxes.
The two committees also
agreed the state ought to take
over part or all of the work now
done by the federal government
in handling the school lunch pro
gram, vocational education, dis
aster relief and payments to the
needy aged.
The federal budget for the cur
rent year estimates federal
spending for aid to state and
local governments at more than
$3,800,000,000, a little more than
5 per cent of the budget. This
does not include $1,600,000,000
in federal aid for highway con
struction which is now disbursed
from a trust fund outside the
regular budget.

Business note:
Down in the Sacramento val
ley there is a little restaurant.
The building in which it is lo
cated isn't a costly one. But it
is attractive. It is located near
a small city park -containing a
swimming pool. It is on one of
the nation's big highways.
The restaurant seats about 30
people, half of them at tables
and the other half at a counter
along the wall. It has been well
designed and is a cozy and pleas
ant little place.
Its customers, for the most
part, come off the highway.
"DUT it isn't of the restaurant
that I want to speak in this
piece. It is the people who run
it that make it interesting.
There are three of them. Two
work in the kitchen. The other
waits on the tables. She works
at high speed, almost running
most of the time. She not only
waits on the tables, taking the
orders and passing them on to
the kitchen crew and bringing
the food out to the customers
when it is ready. She is the
cashier as well, taking in the
money and keeping it straight.
She has her hands full. The
members of the kitchen crew
must have their hands full also.
They turn out the food as fast
as the waitress can deliver it.
They are good cooks. The food
is excellent. Preparing excellent
food requires skill, and prepar
ing it on time, so that the cus
tomers will be kept happy, calls
for speed and efficiency.
OVER the highway from the
little restaurant is a motel.
There are many motels along
this great highway. Here in mid
summer of the year 1957, there
are many vacancy signs. Tour
ists are not quite as numerous
this year as they had been ex
pected to be.
But there is seldom a vacancy
sign at this particular motel.
If you are going to arrive later
than mid-afternoon and want to
get in, you'd better phone ahead
for a reservation.
Why?
Weil, it's nice. It is relatively
new, and it has been well kept
up. The service is good, and the
people who give the service are
pleasant and friendly.
It can be accurately described
as the kind of place people like.
ITTHY speak of this situation as
'a note on American business
in tnis year wnen tne boom
isn't quite as wild as it has been
for some time past?
Here's why:
When asked how their busi
ness is going, the hgrd-working
proprietors of the little restau
rant smile happily and reply:
We never had it so good.
The motel awners give the
same answer.
fFHERE must be something to
-- this crack about building a
better mousetrap and finding
that customers will beat a path
to your door.

THE STALEMATE
There is increasing evidence,
it seems to me, that the stale
mate in the cold war has become
r""" so deep that
. Ai I neither side
has much hope
or much fear
that it will
soon be brok
en. The ritual
of proposals,
offers, demands
and d e c 1 a r a
tions goes on.
Halter Lippmxnn
But there is
little pretense that they are seri
ous in the sense that they are
steps in a genuine negotiation.
What we are now saying to the
Russians and what they are now
saying to us about Germany,
China, the Middle East, and dis
armaments is said without any
expectation that it may lead to
an agreement.
We are talking to the West
Germans and the Russians are
talking to the East Germans.
Each of us is laying down terms
which presuppose that the other
side has made an unconditional
surrender. On disarmament we
would like the Russians' to give
up their great advantage their
capacity to conceal their inten
tions and to spring a surprise.
The Russians would like us to
give up our great advantage,
which is that we have bases
within striking distance of the
heart of the Soviet Union.
These are some of the marks
of the stalemate. For the time
being, the balance of power is
such that there is no prospect of
a general war, and there is no
compulsion to settle the issue.
The real concern of both coali
tions of the NATO powers and
of the Warsaw powers is inside
their own spheres of interest
and influence. Khrushchev is
making a determined effort to
hold the satellite empire in line.
We are greatly concerned at the
turmoil and the hostility in the
Arab lands on our side of the
iron curtain.
see
SINCE change Is in the nature
of things, we know that this
stalemate will not persist for
ever. The overriding question is
how the stalemate may come to
an end.
There are two main possibili
ties. One is by what is known
as a technological breakthrough
which would give one side or
the other undoubted military su
periority. The other is by that
erosion and dissolution of alli
ances and allegiances which is
going on within the two coali
tions. There is erosion in eastern
Europe, which is obviously a
great worry to the Kremlin.
There is erosion in French North
Africa, in the British Middle
East, and m - the American
sphere of interest from Formosa
and Okinawa to Japan.
ON THE whole, the probabili
ties seem to be that if the
stalemate dissolves, it will be be
cause of the great political
changes that are taking place
within the two coalitions. It is
not, of course, for a layman to
say there will not be a decisive
technological breakthrough that
will radically alter the military
balance of power. But a layman
can say that foreign policy can
not be founded on the possibility
that something, which is not
happening, could conceivably
happen some day nevertheless.
Moreover, the new invention
would have to be a very big
one say, some easily produced
device, unknown and unavail
able to the other side, which
would be an almost perfect de
fense against bombers and mis
siles. For the stalemate will al
most certainly not be broken as
long as both sides have the pow
er to inflict terrible and crip
pling blows on each other.
The history of invention
shows, it seems to me, that
where there is such intense com
petition as between the Soviet
Union and ourselves where the
best brains from all over the
world are mobilized on the
problem, where such great re
sources are available, the
chances are very small that
there will be a new invention
which, if it is decisive, is also
unique.
rIS more probable, then, that
when the stalemate dissolves
it will be because, of political
developments in Germany, in
Eastern Europe, in North Africa
and the Middle East, in China
and in Japan. The one thing that
can be said of all these problem
areas, of these unsettled lands,
is that the influence of the great
powers is declining.
It has been declining ever
since the second World War. The
Soviet sphere- of influence is big.
But it is not so big as it threat
ened to be a few years ago as
witness the resistance of Eastern
Europe and the approach of
China to a position of equality.
Our own sphere of influence is
also big. But the days are past

Matter of Fact By Joseph AUop
EISENHOWER-MACMILLAN
Paris In a month and half
spent shuttling back and forth
across the English Channel, on
various errands and occasions,
this reporter has formed some
rather vivid and not always
agreeable impressions of the
HH 'i inn, i isy present
siaie oi uie
Western A I
liance. Before
taking to the
road again it
seems worth
while to try
to sort these
out.
T3 a nin;nfr
Joseph Alsop
then, with the second Western
ally, the most strikins feature
of the new British Government
of Harold Macmillan is the com
pleteness of its break with the
past. In this, the Macmillan gov
ernment strongly resembles the
Eisenhower administation.
As one looks back, the two
Truman . administations seem
more and more like continua
tions of the war period in Amer
ica. The ideas, attitudes, allied
relationships anil standards of
national effort established dur
ing the second World War con
tinued to dominate the Ameri
can scene while Truman was
in the White House. Many of the
same old faces were seen at
the Truman policy tables. There
was the same continuity of per
sonalities and viewpoints in
London, too, during Britain's
Attlee, Churchill and Eden gov
ernments. e e e
Tut in London today, as in
" Washington four years ago,
the wartime ideas and attitudes,
relationships and standards.
have been brtskly jettisoned at
last. Some of the resulting
American-Britain echoes are
really ironically exact.
For example, former Minister
of Defense Antony Head was
dropped from the Macmillan
cabinet, not because of Suez as
is widely supposed, but simply
because he refused to adopt the
slogan, "Budget first, defense
second" which has so long
been familiar in the Eisenhower
administration. By the same to
ken the program of Head's suc
cessor, Defense Minister Duncan
Sandys, is nothing but the fa
mous Radford plan of American
defense revived and adapted for
British requirement.
Again, with Lord Salisbury,
Sir Anthony Eden and Antony
Head, the last men who have tlje
old wartime feeling about the
Anglo- American partnership
have now left the British Gov
ernment, just as the last such
men left the American Govern
ment in 1953. Today, Prime
Minister Macmillan is one real
link with the past partnership
in London, as is the President
in Washington.
On top of this,- there has been
just the sort of thing here
that occurred when Dean G.
Acheson, who cared a great deal
more about the atmosphere in
the . Western Alliance than the
atmosphere on Capitol Hill, was
replaced by John Foster Dulles,
who put Senatorial sensitivities
so far ahead of Allied sensitivi
ties. In the British case, the
same Foreign Secretary, Selwjfn
Lloyd, has remained on the job,
but the priorities have been al
tered none the less.
The new system of priorities
was revealed, for example, in
the Macmillan government's de
cision to defy the State Depart
ment in the matter of trade with
China. The Government's own
experts were unanimous that
Britain would not make any
great economic gain by changing

Unique Fishing Craft
Seen in Columbia
Astoria IB The Coast Guard
today reported a new type of
fishing craft seen in the Colum
bia river here.
Guardsmen found a young
Portlander fishing from an inner
tube about 100 feet off the north
jetty at the mouth of the river.
Only a piece of light fishing line
which ran to shore was holding
him. '
Officers said a strong ebb tide
would have swept him to sea if
the line had broken.
Coast Guardsmen stood by as
the youth worked his way to
the jetty and safety.
the China trade rules. But being
publicly rude to Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles was
bound to delight the entire
House of Commons; and so the
deed was done.
AH this, no doubt, was in
evitable. The American policy
makers, after all, were the first
to downgrade the Anglo-American
partnership and the Western
Alliance. The process reached
the explosion-point when Secre
tary Dulles, having himself
precipitated the Suez crisis, then
blandly tried to shove his own
handiwork under the rug. The
result was the desperate British
attempt to safeguard Britain's
vital Middle Eastern interests
by independent action with the
French.
The disastrous conclusion of
the Suez crisis in turn pro
duced the present situation. The
Macmillan government, in a
very real sense, is the direct
consequence of the British fail
ure at Suez. So is the stormy
wave of anti-Americanism
which has engulfed Britain.
Suez in truth was the real turning-point,
when the British
break with the past occurred.
The break is dangerous, more
over, not because it has pro
duced a tendency to be publicly
rude to Secretary Dulles about
such matters as China trade. It
is dangerous, rather, because
post-Suez Britain suffers from a
basic schozophrenia.
On the one hand, there is tacit
acceptance of the fact that Bri
tain cannot afford to go on act
ing as a really great power
which was the real reason why
Lord Salisbury left the govern
ment. On the. other hand, there
is the determination to be more
than ever independent of the
United States which showed
itself so strongly in the unsuc
cessful Buraimi negotiations
that leddan to the present risky
mess in Oman.
It is easy to see that these
two British attitudes are funda
mentally contradictory and
therefore likely to lead to bad
trouble in tne end. But it is also
clear that this British schizo
phrenia will not be cured with
out some highly creative think
ing about the future of the
whole Western Alliance in
Washington.
