Air Age Requirements
The problem of controlling the airspace over
America is one which has become increasingly
serious and difficult in recent years.
Pilots have known about it, and warned about
it, for a decade. They have seen the danger com
ing, with many more planes in the air, with planes
of greatly increased performance and speed, and
with the fact that the Civil Aeronautics Adminis-
tion has moved slowly to meet the threat.
DUT it was not until the horrible crash of two
airliners over the Grand Canyon in June, 1956,
that the awful facts were brought home forcibly
to the public at large, and to the Congress.
Congress finally has taken a long-recommended
steap to counter the hazards, the consolidation
into a single agency of all the functions pertain
ing to air traffic control and safety.
These have been scattered through the mili
tary, the department of commerce, and various
independent agencies. Some of 'these actually
have been working at cross-purposes.
But the new Federal Aviation Agency, cre
ated by Congress at this session, will soon become
the new "traffic cop" of the air.
TTODAY, incidentally, is National Aviation Day,
and it is thus appropriate to review some of
the factors pertaining to the present crisis.
The problems of air traffic control are vastly
complicated, and are becoming more so. But ac
cording to information from a number of ex
perienced pilots, plus repeated reports in aviation
publications, known techniques have not been put
into 'effect as rapidly as they should for two
reason lack of money to purchase the highly
complex and expensive equipment, on one hand,
and a certain amount of foot-dragging on the
part of CAA executives
echelons who are high
say in policy execution,
ultimate responsibility
If these reports are
lons resisted the initial use of radar for "ground
controlled approach" instrumentation, for exam
ple, as well as other means of increasing man's
ability to detect and guide aircraft under all
conditions.
THE fact that Congress was startled at the high
cost of some of the instruments and systems,
and was not sufficiently impressed with the urg
ency, also is part .of the picture.
Bult ultimately, we believe, the CAA must
shoulder a major portion of the blame for the
fact that America's airlanes are perhaps as much
as 10 years behind where they should be.
The new agency will assume the safety and
traffic control functions of the CAA and of the
Civil Aeronautics Board (which will now be con
fined to exerting economic authority over air
lines), as well as those of other agencies including
the military. And whether or not it can do the job
remains to be seen. But it has a better chance,
perhaps, than did the previous set-up, with divid
ed authority and interests.
HTHE new agency will have a civilian adminis-
trator, and a military deputy administrator.
It is hoped they can take over the "crash pro
gram" of improvement and modernization, al
ready started under the CAA, and on which mil
lions of dollars are being spent, bring it to the
necessary level, and at the same time satisfy all
the diverse interests which now have a stake in
how the airlanes are operated.
These interests include the military (whose
fast jet planes need lots of airspace and, in
emergencies, need priority over other aircraft);
the private fliers (including the Sunday pilots,
executive planes now being flown in vastly great
er numbers than ever before, and others); the
airlines, whose problems are going to be com
plicated soon with the advent of jet airliners
which gobble up airspace at an unprecedented
rate; and ultimately the public at large, which
includes all these; as well as the ordinary non
flier who nonetheless has a stake in air safety.
-THE Grand Canyon crash, of course, was a big
f stimulus to action ; and there have been other
fearful crashes recently, including those involving
both military and civilian craft.
We are hopeful that the speed-up will be
effective; that the new agency can shake loose
from some of its dead .wood, and that the prob
lems of our shrinking airspace can be solved.
We are not, frankly, too hopeful that this can
be accomplished soon, for it is a tremendous job
and one that will need the best talents.
But it must be done if the government is to
fulfill its obligation to the public E.A.

We have in mind the story about Mrs. Max

and a half in the woods, after she became lost.

ever seen. And he's seen plenty. ;
THE stoiy said, in part, "Some 150 persons, in:
A eluding state police, volunteers, forest service
personnel and sheriff's deputies took part . . ."
If the whole story, of the sacrifices and effort
put out by each of those 150, were to be told,
there would be room for nothing else in the paper.

Matter of Fact
A VERY BIG ISSUE
Washington Fundamental
questions about the inner
workings, of our kind of hu-
rj man society
are not often
argued in the
American
Congress. But
last week, the
Senate actual
ly got around
to arguing
rather heated
ly about what
Joseph Alsop may weu ae
n t
the biggest single question
confronting the democracies
in the H-bomb age.
This is, the question wheth
er the people have a right to
know the hard facts of the
national situation, or whether
these facts should be sedul
ously concealed from all but
the enemy.
The macabre debate about
this question followed the im
portant speech by Sen. John
F, Kennedy of Massachusetts.
Kennedy had gravely warned
of the danger of present
American defense policies,
which will concede to the So
viets overwhelming superior
ity in nuclear striking power
during the years of "gap" or
"missile lag" the years 196q
through 1964. He had earnest
ly and stirringly called for a
great national effort to avert
"the mortal peril" of these
years ahead. '
THE nature of the peril was
most concisely summed up
in the figures on the predict
ed balance of inter-continental
ballistic missiles, which
Senator Kennedy quoted from
a "report in this space. Since
that report was published, it
has been learned that the
American government's offi
cial forecasts of Soviet output
of inter-continental ballistic
missiles have been adjusted
downward by one year. Here,
then, are the corrected fig
ures, accepted as realistic on
the highest American govern
mental level. They give ' the
long range missile balance
which our defense policies
will tolerate.

tering our armory. But on
present schedules, there is no
likelihood of a single Minute
man becoming operational
before the "gap's" last year.
Such was the situation that
drove Kenrtedy to speak out,
and to urge drastic remedies.
The sequel got almost no no
tice because the debate oc
curred late at night. It began
when good, bumbling Sen.
Homer Capehart of Illinois
rose to speak in a condition
of really frothing excitement.
Senator Capehart announced
his intention of invoking Sen
ate Rule XXXV the rule
that clears the galleries when
secret matters are under dis
cussion if any senator ever
again publicly told such un
pleasant truths . as Kennedy
had told.
"How is it going to sound
to the Russian people,", cried
Capehart, "when they read
that a senator of the United
States . . . said that the United
States is inferior to Russia?
Perhaps I am wrong. Senators
can say what they please or
do what they please, but I
say that . . . could give com
fort to our enemies.
pAPEHART did not lence
deny the accuracy of Ken
nedy's facts. He said he hoped
they were not accurate, but
had no means of knowing. On
the Senate floor were many
members of the Senate Arm
ed Services . Committee and
Joint Atomic Energy Commit
tee, having the access to the
classified information that
Kennedy does not have. Not
one of these men rose to dis
pute the accuracy of Ken
nedy's facts. Instead, a whole
series of them, led by Sena
tors Symington of Missouri
and Jackson of Washington,
rose to praise Kennedy. They
affirmed that he had spoken
no more than the truth, with
no whit of exaggeration.
Again, poor Capehart did
not suggest that Kennedy had
given any new information to
the masters of the Kremlin.
He could not do so. Even he
was well aware that the
American missile program is
,a . matter" of public record.
Even he could hardly claim
that the ' Kremlin does not
know about its own missile
program.. Informing the
American people, not the
Kremlin, was what he really
objected to. But once he cried
out:
"If what the senator from
Massachusetts said is true, . . .
Congress should not adjourn.
If what he says is true, Con
gress should appropriate an
other twenty Billion."
. It reminded one of the tag
line in Evelyn Waugh's "Put
Out More Flags." At the end
of the book, on the eve of the
Battle of Britain, the man-of-Munich,
the Chamberlain-and-Baldwinite
who is a central
comic figure, commits his soli
tary blunder into sense. The
tag-line is: "And, poor booby,
he was bang right."

As this is written, the U.S.
congress is in the midst of a

LION OTHER PEOPLE.
That's the long and short
of it.
BUT
Let's quit panning the
congress. It has its foibles.
In campaign years, its mem
bers are stricken by a strange
summer madness that we call
election fever. In the grip of
this malady, they do absurd
things.
But our congress isn't', all
bad. There is the Klamath
reservation bill that passed
.both houses in these final
days of the biennial dervish
dance. It is a good piece of
legislation. Considered na
tionally, it didn't have much
vote-getting appeal. What hap
pened was . that the members
of the congress were brought
to realization of the fact that
is was SOUND and should be
enacted. So, after hearing the
arguments pro and con, they
went ahead and enacted it.
We musn't get too cynical
about our government. It has
its faults. But we wouldn't
trade it for any other form of
government on earth.
WHY is the Klamath reser
vation bill a good bill?
' Well, it lays down rules
that if followed undeviatingly
will result in keeping trees
growing perpetually over a
large area in this region.
Trees produce FIBER. They
produce it economically. Fi

"in the case of IRBM's, be

"I am convinced that, as

their December meeting, de

IRBM sites in NATO terri
tory, because they are neces
sary for the defense of
NATO, each country in the
last analysis will do what is

Conservative spokesmen do
not deny the preparations.
They claim they are being

ship drive scheduled to get
underway Sept. 18.
But the Laborites believe
Macmillan is convinced, the
political dice all are loaded
in Macmillan's favor, if he
does appeal to the country
in the near future. '
When Macmillan took over
from ailing Sir Anthony Eden
early in 1957 after the Suez
debacle, the Conservative
Party's fortunes had plummet
ed to rock bottom. Macmillan
was regarded as only a stop
gap premier at- best.
An economic crisis in the
fall of 1957 brought Britain
to the verge of bankruptcy
and resulted in a series of by
election disasters for the Con
servatives. But in recent months
the situation has changed
abruptly.
Recession fears are fading.
The nation's finances are back
on the rails again. The bank
rate upped to a near-record
7 per cent during the crisis
is back to Wi per cent and
may be slashed still further,
Macmillan's personal popu
larity was booted sky-high by
his efforts to bring about a
summit meeting with the Rus
sians and by Britain's mili

Countries Object
Establishment in Europe of
missiles with nuclear war
heads is considered by
SHAPE planners necessary to
the modern evolution of the
war deterrent power of the
NATO "shield." x
Some of the European coun
tries, including France, Den
mark and Norway, objected
to the establishment of IRBM
sites on their territories when
the proposal to strengthen
SHAPE'S defensive power
with these weapons was made
at the Atlantic Council meet
ing last December.
The French did not want
the bases established in
France unless they had some
measure of control over use
of the "missiles. This would
involve congressional modi
fication of the law restricting
to the President alone the
right to determine when
American nuclear weapons
would b used. .,
Denmark and Norway have
laws which prohibit the sta
tioning of foreign military
forces,, on their territory. Lit
tle hope is held at SHAPE
that those laws will be
changed 1 in the near future,
,but there is confylence- that
France will agree to the es
tablishment of some sites on
its territory.
Still Not Satisfied
Since French Premier
Charles de Gaulle is deter
mined to have greater recog
nition given France as a ma
jor power, and since he wants
a more effective voice for
the French in the formulation
of Allied global strategy, it
is believed at SHAPE that he
will wish his country to be
equipped with the weapons
that, diplomatically as well
as militarily, speak loudly.
While General Norstad told
the writer he. feels the bal
ance of military power still
remains with the West, he is
far from satisfied with the
strength of his own deterrent
"shield" in Western Europe
He now has available ap
proximately 21 divisions. He
expects eventually to get
about 28, which approximates
the 30 divisions he regards as
the minimum forces required
to enable him to fulfill the
mission of SHAPE forces in
the central area of Europe
The mission has changed
since NATO was established
nine years ago. Originally, it
was hoped that the SHAPE
forces could establish a de
fensive line in Germany
strong enough to hold up a
Russian attack until powerful
American and British armies
could be brought to France.
Mission Outlined .
Today SHAPE'S mission is,
in effect, to make Russia re
alize that any attempt to ex
tend Soviet domination in
Europe by a limited war
would precipitate an all-out
nuclear conflict with the
United States and its NATO
allies.
This mission requires Al
lied combat-ready forces suf
ficiently strong to prevent
the Soviet or satellite armies
from suddenly overrunning a
small country or grabbing
some territory and. then pre
senting NATO with a fait
accompli.
SHAPE planners are well
aware that if Russia, by di
rect or indirect military ag
gression, suddenly occupied

of Greece, there might be
strong sentiment in some, of
the NATO countries to con-'
fine the conflict to a "limited
war."
The NATO governments
cannot afford, or at least feel
that they cannot afford, . to
supply General Norstad with
the strong standing army
that would be necessary . to
enable him to fight success
fully a limited war against
Russia in Europe.
Poses Constant Threat
Therefore, his only hope of
discouraging the Soviets from
attempting to nibble away at
Western Europe by limited
wars is to maintain in con
stant combat readiness suffi
cient forces to make the Rus
sian rulers realize that any
attack on Allied forces in Eu
rope would precipitate full
scale nuclear war.
This is what is known in
SHAPE circles as keeping the
ball of decision "bouncing"
on the Soviet side of the
court.
If, despite this deterrent ef-,
fort, war should come, then
the objective of the SHAPE
shield forces would be to try
to hold the Red armies in
check long enough to give the
American and British strate
gic air forces time to seek a
quick decision through mass
sive nuclear retaliation at
tacks on the Soviet Union.
Thus, it would be hoped to
prevent the Russian ' armies
from- overrunning Western
Europe before the nuclear decision-had
been effected.
It is believed at SHAPE
that this nuclear decision
would probably come within
a week or two of the outbreak
of all-out .war. That belief
not only indicates the terri
bly swift destructive nature
of nuclear warfare, but it im
plies that the SHAPE forces
would not be expected to hold
off the Russian armies for
more than a few weeks. ,
