t Washington' 1fl President
Hisenhower said today that
Russia poses a broader threat
V the Free World, especially
economically, than a year ago.
, The President said the dan
ger of military action by Rus
a against its smaller neigh
bors probably has lessened
iomewhat. But he said the
Itremlin rulers have sharp
Jy stepped up their economic
Jnd propaganda efforts.
i He made the statements in
h S5-minute off-the-cuff speech
1 which he warned that high
Jariffs and restrictive import
Quotas would be ruinous to
"America's safety and pros
perity. The President told the Ad
vertising Council that his re
ciprocal trade program, which
.'has met strong opposition in
Congress, is essential to U.S.
-efforts for world peace. He
-said that th lesser countries
:of the world must be eco
nomically strong if they are
to resist successfully Russian
efforts to dominate them.
I They must be able to trade
with this country, he said.
: Otherwise, he added, they
"would have to trade with Rus
sia and end up in the Red
bloc.
Russia Wants World
Eisenhower said Russia has
made it clear that it will not
give up its purpose of domi
nating the world. The Rus
sian threat is "no idle boast,"
he said.
The Soviet has built a tre
mendous military machine
and shown "very great skill"
in developing mass destruc
tion weapons. It "poses for
us even a broader threat than
a year ago" although it had
been at least partially block
ed as to military power, he
said.
Russia has turned more and
more to the economic, politi
cal and propaganda "type, of
invasion," he said.
The President also made an
other strong appeal for his
defense reorganization plan as
being essential to the nation's
safety and solvency. The na
tion's strategic plan must be
unified and "a business of one
authority" controlled, direct
ed and operated by the de
. fense secretary under the
President as commander-in-chief,
he said.
Economic Future
As to his reciprocal trade
program, the President reit-
erated that the jobs of 4,500,-
000 American workers depend
' on world trade. He added that
U.S. industry also depends to
J a substantial extent on im
' ported materials.
Without world trade, he
said, "our economy will be
: shrunken and shrivelled" to ,
; an appreciable degree.
: He expressed again his con-
: fidence in the nation's eco-
- nomic future. He said the fed-
- eral government has done
much and will do more to
; put the nation back on the
; road to prosperity. But he
: said that the end of the reces-
- sion depends more on the
American people as a whole.

Russia Claimed Ready for War
Copenhagen OF) A NATO
memorandum warned West
ern foreign ministers today
the Soviet Union is ready for
instant atomic warfare using
fully tested missiles. The
memo, a monthly news let
ter from NATO's Paris head
quarters, gave this data on
Soviet preparedness:
The Soviet Union and its
East European satellites now
have an estimated six million
men or more under arms
adapted to atomic warfare.
"More than 400 divisions"
could be made operational
within 30 days after war
broke out.
It must be assumed that
the Communist bloc possesses
"operational quantities" of

The cigar-waving comedian

Johnson Opens
Space Hearings
Washington (IP) Senate
Democratic leader Lyndon B.
Johnson kicked off the Sen
ate's space hearings today by
declaring, "free men have no
intention of rattling sabers
among the stars."
He said there is "wide
agreement" on civilian con
trol of space.
His remarks were contain
ed in a statement prepared
for today's opening hearing
of the Senate's special Space
Committee which the Texas
Democrat heads.
Even as the senate commit
tee considered the President's
proposed new agency, new
vistas of space flight were de
picted by other experts.
Dr. Hubertus Strughold,
chief of the Air Force Space
Medicine department, told
the United Press humans can
exist on the planet Mars if
they stay in pressurized suits
or pressurized dwellings. "On
Venus we don't know what
would happen," he added.
"There may be toxic gases."
Roy W. Johnson, director
of the Defense Department's
Advance Research Projects
Agency, told the House Space
Committee Monday his agency
has decided to go ahead with
a "very urgent" secret space
project with a "50 per cent
chance of success." He re
fused to disclose details in
public.

Burns is on a month-long,
round-the-world trip during
which he will visit leading
zoologists, naturalists and dig

San Francisco-New York,
May 5. Right now we are
some 20,000 feet above sea
level, cruising over the east
ern Nevada sagebrush.
From the window of our
TWA airliner I can make out
a tiny cluster of buildings far
below and off to the right. A
town, probably, judging from
the ribbon of road running
through it. To the east, some
160 miles away, says the pilot,
is the sawtooth edge of the
Rockies coming into view.
As we sweep above the
peaks of the great mountain
chain I am reminded again of
how the climate of the world
climbs up the mountain sides
as well as up the face of the
globe toward the pole.
In the climate's vertical
range up a mountain there are
definite boundaries for plant
apd animal life; For example,
only on the higher peaks of
the Rockies and others of the
world's highest mountains are
certain lichens found a plant
that may have a life span of
1,000 years. And in some of
the depths of the Colorado's
Canyon, as it cuts through the
Rocky Mountain chain, the
climate is almost tropical.

By EUGENE BURNS
Rangtr-Naturalist
It is strange what one can
see from the air, at a height
of four miles. As the moun
tains fall away behind us and
we fly out over the great cen
tral basin of the country, I
can see quite clearly where
the Platte River once altered
its course. Where once it cut
across the country in a wide,
sweeping curve, it now makes
two huge bends.
The color of the ground in
the curve is as different from
that on either side as ploughed
land from green.
Maybe an earthquake
caused the river to alter its
course, but more likely the
change was due to a combina
tion of two factors: a great
flood and a solid rock bottom
of the old bed.
A great flood would not dig
a deeper channel in such a
case. Instead, it would break
through the banks in a weak
spot, and cut through the soft
er land until the water found
its way back to the river's
usual course by taking the
way of least resistance.
