Alcohol
Several Oregon newspaper writers have
touched on the problems of alcohol in recent days
how terrible it can be when one becomes a
slave to it; the fact that Oregon isn't as "drink
ing" a state as some, but, despite that, Oregonians
are drinking more than ever before.
Alcohol the kind that comes in bottles and
is intended for human consumption has always
been a problem, and probably always will be. It
is a problem which has some pure blacks and
whites, but more shades of gray. t
THE Eugene Register-Guard reports on a dis-
cussion one of its writers had with a "lady
drunk," a woman who recently joined Alcoholics
Anonymous and found much help in her straggle
against the compulsive pull of the bottle.
She wanted to organize an AA chapter solely
for women, the Guard reported, and added that
the alcohol problem is probably worse among
women than is generally realized the women
who wait until their husbands have left for work
and their children for school, and then pull down
the blind and start working on a bottle.
She had found as have most other sincere
members of AA that the group offers one of
the few constructive routes to sobriety, because
the members understand the plight that all mem
bers face. "Nobody understands a drank like an
other drunk."
rOWN in Coos Bay, an editorial writer on the
"World," gave a little "lecture on temper
ance," in which he rejected the recent claim of
the nation's tavern-owners that they make a "sig
nificant contribution to the American way of
life."
Tavern owners are celebrating the repeal of
prohibition this month, which the World called
"the ignoble experiment .whereby the American
people were told by the bluenoses that they
couldn't take a drink unless they paid a racketeer
for the booze and bribed the cops for the privil
ege.
- The World said that taverns "are nice places
to go if you're inclined that way," and even if not,
they must be recognized as a "necessary evil."
But it added :
"It's time, we think, for a few old-fashioned lec
tures on temperance, even though they might not do
too much good. The average (if there is such a thing)
citizen is drinking too much especially if he is
caught in the organization and the organization is lo
cated in a city. There's no moral or immoral cause of
over-idulgence. It's just that more people are trying
to escape from something they can't identify."
IT ALL boils down to the true saying that alco-
hoi, by itself, is neither evil nor good. It de
pends on what men and women do with it that
makes it good or bad.
The Protestant Episcopal church, during its
recent convention in Miami, recognized this fact.
It hailed the benefits of an occasional relaxing
drink, but decried the intemperate use of all al
cohol. ,
Automobiles are a boon and also a danger.
It depends on how they are used. The same is true
with a whole host of drags and medications. The
same it true of food, or
And it is true of alcohol. It is both a pleasant
and relaxing drag, in moderation, or a virulent,
degenerative poison when used in excess. Too
many people don't know where moderation ends
and excess begins. E. A.
Regeneration
- Some day probably not too soon if a
human being loses an arm or a leg, it may be pos
sible for him to grow a new one.
This moderately fantastic possibility is seen
in experiments on salamanders and frogs, which
indicate that the ability to regenerate lost mem
bers can be induced.
Some animals now can grow new tails or new
legs when they lose them. Salamanders can re
generate a missing leg or tail. Some animals, such
as frogs, can do so in their younger days, but past
a certain age they lose the ability.
IN ALL animals, including man, there is a certain
regenerative ability. For instance, if a man
loses a patch of skin, it grows back. Bones grow
back together after being broken, and other con
nective tissues can repair themselves.
Some of the internal organs, such as the liver,
the pancreas and the salivary glands, can regener
ate lost tissues.
But the more complex organs, and the ap
pendages, cannot. Once lost they are gone for
ever. DEGENERATIVE ability has long puzzled re
searchers. As long ago as 1768 they were
pondering whether or not the ability could be
extended to the higher animals, and to older ones.
Eventually it was noticed that regeneration
depends upon the nerve supply at the site of am
putation, according to a
can article. iiXpenments, in which additional
nerve fibers were brought to the site of the wound,
showed that in such cases, a new limb would be
gin to grow.
The article concludes :
"These experiments appear to strengthen the possi
bility that ways will be found of inducing regrowth in
still higher forms of life. Should the expectation of
obtaining this advantage for ourselves be considered
entrely 'chimerical'? It is probably safe to assume that
every organ has the power to regrow lying latent
within it, needing only the appropriate treatment to
bring it out."

Matter of Fact bv
EISENHOWER GAUGES
THE GAP
Washington - For the first
time since he took office,
President Eisenhower has
been giving
many hours of
his own time
to a personal
review of the
defense pro
gram, project
by project and
in detail. In
previous years,
the President
has always left
Jospb AlSOD
the burdensome task of de
tailed review to the various
sectors of his staff. This year,
hovever, apparently at the
behest of Budget Director
Maurice Stans, the President
decided to tackle the job in
person. He began it weeks
ago, long before the campaign
reached its climax.
Much of the President's
spadework was therefore done
when his Secretary of De
fense, Neil McElroy, was ab
sent from Washington on his
long foreign tour. Secretary
McElroy was away during the
whole period when the most
crucial budgetary decisions
are normally taken at the De
fense Department. Even now,
in November, the really big
decisions, as between compet
ing missile projects for ex
ample, have not yet been
made.
.
THESE" facts alone are
enough to suggest that the
new defense' budget is an un
certain quantity. In addition,
there is the fact that the prime
motive of the President's per
sona! intervention has been
to find ways to cut the de
fense budget as heavily as pos
sible. For the present, there
fore, there is no assurance at
all of the slight increase in
defense spending, to the $41,-
800,000,000 level, that high
Department sources have been
talking about as virtually as
sured.
As one sample of the char
acter and gravity of the is
sues under consideration,
there is the behind-the-scenes
controversy about the tempo
of development of the solid
fuelled ballistic missiles. This
is really a controversy about
whether it is worth gambling
large sums, with fair hope of
success, in order to shorten
the so-called missile gap-the
period when the Soviets will
enjoy a heavy predominance
in missile striking power.
To make the controversy
understandable, it necessary
to begin with the unhappy
fact that the Thor, Jupiter,
and Atlas ballistic missiles are
all thoroughly unsatisfactory
weapons for this . country's
3rmory. Liquid-fuelled mis
siles such as these are im
mensely valuable weapons for
a nation like the Soviet Un
ion, that can strike the first
blow. But if the privilege of
striking the first blow is con
ceded to. the enemy, liquid
fuelled missiles like these
three have very little value.
THEIR launching sites can
not be effectively protected
against the enemy's first blow.
As anyone who has read about
the Cape Canaveral count
downs must realize, these mis
Files also take a very long
time to fire. A quarter of an
hour is the maximum warn
ing that can be expected if
the enemy strikes.. Hence
such liquid-fuelled missiles,
with launching sites that can
not be "hardened," will not
greatly add to this country's
retaliatory capability - which
is the kind of capability we
desperately need to strength
en!
Modest programs to build
at least some of these missiles
are essential, for the time be
ing, for the sake of training
in the art: The program to
build the Titan liquid-fuelled
missile is also justified, be
cause Titan launching sites
are capable of being "hard
ened." But the missile gap
will not really end until the
j United States has in its ar
Joseph Alsop
mory adequate quantities of
solid-fuelled ballistic missiles,
which will, require no count
down and can be rather cheap
ly provided with completely
"hard" launching sites.
With just thisfact in mind,
the Congress last year appro
priated an additional $600,
000 000 to extend and inten
sify the Navy's Polaris mis
sile program and its related
program for Polaris-carrying
submarines. Perhaps even
more important, the Congress
also appropriated an addition
al $90,000,000 to speed up the
Air Force's Minuteman pro
gram. Polaris is, to all intents, an
already proven missile. Min
uteman, an intercontinental
ballistic missile using the new
type of solid fuel developed
for Polaris, is still a decided
gamble, but the best authori
ties believe that the gamble
will pay off. If the gamble
is taken and does pay off, in
turn, the missile gap can be
closed in 1963, instead of ex
tending at least through 1964
and probably through 1965.
fNE has to say, "if the gam
ble is taken," because the
additional appropriations vot
ed by the Congress . were im
mediately frozen by the Budg
et Eureau. Thus the first ques
tion is whether they will un
freeze these sums already ap
propriated during this fiscal
year of maximum effort on
Minuteman and Polaris. But
if these sums are unfrozen,
then very much larger sums
will also have to be included
in the new budget now being
prepared In the case of Min
uteman, for instance, the
higher tempo of development
vould increase the required
appropriations from $100,
000.000 to as much as $400,
000,000.
In short, there are things
that can be done to shorten
the famous gap and otherwise
reduce its danger to this coun
try, just as there are things
that- can be done to save
money by eliminating super
fluous or excessive weapons
programs. It seems a bit omi
nous, however, that the Presi
dent has reportedly been
studying the defense budget
with no aim except money
cuts in view.

Today & Tomorrow
By Walter Lippmann
(This is the third of four
articles written after a re
cent visit to Moscow.)
THE SOVIET CHALLENGE
I.
In almost all the talks I
had in Moscow, not only with
Mr. K. but with other offic
ials and with
Soviet editors,
I was asked
what could be
done a'b o u t
better rela
tions between
our two coun
tries. The question
Walter 15 a nara one
Lippmann to answer. For
the basic issue between us
arises from the fact that the
Soviet Union, and now along
side it Red China, are well
on their way to achieving the
leadership of Asia and of
Africa. At the root of the pro
found and abiding suspicion
which each of us has for the
other lies this bid for leader
ship and its challesge to the
Western position and to West
ern influence.
There is no reason to think
that the suspicion which di
vides us, and makes even
modest and . partial solutions
difficult, can easily be talked
out of existence. Although I
am one of those who hopes
earnestly that the rivalry can
be kept below the boiling
point, I am, nevertheless, con
vinced that even this wUl re
quire a lot more than mutual
expressions of good will.
rPHE cause of the bad rela
tions is the suspicion, felt
on each side of the Iron Cur
tain, that the other side in
tends to commit aggression.
The suspicion arises from a
belief that in the long run
neither side can tolerate the
other. The Soviet Union is
now entering upon the cli
mactic years-the next seven
or ten years-in which it
means to surpass the United
States, not in the material
comforts of ordinary life but
in productivity per capita. The
Communist leaders- are cer
tain that they can achieve
this goal, the great mass of
the poorer and undeveloped
peoples will rally to them,
No doubt, wherever they can,
they will promote this rally
by propaganda and by infil
tration and by subversion.
But we delude ourselves if
we do not realize that the
main power of the Communist
states lies not in their clan
destine activity but , in the
force of their example, in the
visible demonstration of what
the Soviet Union has achieved
in 40 years, of what Red
China has achieved in about
10 years.
The inner moving force of
Soviet suspicion is the belief
that the United States and the
governments of the non-Communist
countries will, unless
compelled to do so, never al
low Russia and China to con
summate the revolution which
they are leading in Asia and
in Africa. In Moscow, and no
doubt also in Peiping, they
do not believe us when we
insist that the rearming of
Germany and of Turkey and
the maintenance of a ring of
air bases are defensive mea
sures against military aggres
sion on their part.
IOR they are certain in their
own minds that they will
win the primacy of Asia and
of Africa not by going to
war but by avoiding a war
that would ruin their eco
nomic achievements. They are,
like most men, self-centered
and they cannot believe that
we really think they will com
mit military aggression when
they themselves are so sure
that they must avoid a war.
So when we talk about defen
sive armaments they think we
are deceiving them, that our
military policy is to surround
them in preparation for an at
tack on them in order to halt
Stop Me
M
their revolutionary rise to
world leadership.
I am reasonably sure that
this is' the way they see the
military issue between us.
Moreover, this is what the
prophet Lenin prophesied, and
in the soviet Union the au
thority of Lenin, as currently
interpreted by the powers
that be, is treated as infallible
and more than human. Our
policy of military contain
ment with its forward posi
tions on their own borders
is in their minds conclusive
proof that Lenin was right.
They suspect us profoundly,
and that is why they are stub
bornly reluctant to negotiate
any concession which would
give us even a slight tactical,
much less a strategic, advan
tage in case of war.
ETHIS resistance to agree
.lAnf witli ne tVnir aro
helped by many provocative
and bellicose things that have
been said at one time or an
other by the talkative brass
in the Pentagon. They are
hardened also in their convic
tions, it must be said, by the
propensity of Mr. Dulles, and
in lesser degree of the Presi
dent himself, to treat the con
flict, not as one of empires
and great states but as a re
ligious war in which the con
tending positions are abso
lute. For this confirms their
view that we are bracing our
selves for an ideological or re
ligious war, that this war will
take place unless they make
themselves so powerful that it
cannot take place.
The corresponding suspic
ion on our side arises, as we
know, from the belief that in
sofar as the Soviet Union and
Red China gain in military
power, they are certainly
bound to use it as an instru
ment of policy in order to
complete their domination of
Asia and of Africa. This sus
picion is, I have no doubt,
well founded and it is a con
clusive reason for making
sure that we do not lose the
race of armaments.
Our problem here is not
whether we can afford to
keep up the race. It is absurd
to say that we cannot afford
it Nor does the problem arise
from any irreparable techno
logical inferiority on our part
For us, the crucial problem of
armaments is political and
psychological: how to keep
the American and the West
European democracies ready
and willing to support arma
ments without their becoming
so obsessed with weapons that
they have neither the means
nor the understanding nor the
will to meet the real Soviet
challenge in Asia.
The Soviet oligarchy can
spend on armaments what it
wants, and no questions asked.
With us, the necessary appro
priations cannot be had, or
so our political leaders think,
without a great scare cam
paign. But this scare campaign
offends and alienates the
pacifists and the neutralists
who are the overwhelming
majority in the rest of the
world.
..
II.
NO ONE can doubt that the
Soviet challenge is very
formidable indeed. Even to a
casual visitor it is evident
that the only safe assumption
is that the Russians have mas
tered the modern technology
and that their bureaucracy,
directed by a powerful gov
ernment and working on an
obedient population, is capa
ble of achieving what they
have set themselves to do.
Theirs is a grim and pur
poseful society, in which one
who is used to the American
air finds it hard to breathe.
No doubt the vast machine
does not work perfectly and
there is private discontent
and some cheating and much
fixing and blackmarketing.
Nor is the tenure in office of
all the individuals who are
now at the top of the govern
ment fixed and settled for the
rest of their lives. None the
less, the Soviet system is a
going concern, and it would
be rash to underestimate its
power or to count upon any
radical change of direction,
much less on a counter-revolution.
I have come, home con
vinced that the issue is the
Russian and Chinese challenge
for the leadership of Asia
and of Africa. If we are to
meet it with reasonable suc
cess, we must, I am sure, aban
don the notion that the Rus
sian and Chinese revolutions
can be reversed or that the

spread of Communism In the
surrounding countries can be
contained by giving arma
ments to the local military
commanders and by establish
ing our own bases.
WHAT we need is an agon
' izing reappraisal of our
own habits and notions. We
must learn to keep ourselves
armed without working our
selves up into a frenzy of
threats and of fear. This is
not easy for a democracy to
do, but it is necessary and,
once the reason for it is under
stood by the leaders of Ameri
can opinion, it can be done.
We must learn also to win
friends without asking them
to be our military allies. This
can be done only by encour
aging them to follow the neu
tral course which their in
stinct tells them to take. The
policy of military pacts to
contain and push back the
Communist revolution is not
only incapable of working suc
cessfully. Its effect is to an
tagonize the masses of the
people and so to assist the ex
pansion of Communism.
We must, I have been con
vinced, reappraise and re
view the policy of foreign
aid. As it is now practiced,
it is fair to describe it as a
program of subsidies to gov
ernments which are threat
ened with the rise of Com
munism among their people.
Without meaning to say that,
all or even that some of these
subsidies should be discon
tinued, I submit that we shall
not meet the Soviet challenge
unless we stop looking at the
underdeveloped nations as
military bulwarks and bas
tions and adopt a new and
different objective in the un
committed world.
I'HE communists are ex-
JL nanrlinl? in Asia hpransp
they are demonstrating a way,
at present the only obviously
effective way, of raising
quickly the power and the
standard of living of a back
ward people. The only con
vincing answer to that must
be a demonstration by the
non-Communist nations that
there is another and more hu
mane way of overcoming im
memorial poverty and weak
ness of the Asian peoples
This demonstration can best
be made in India, and there
is little doubt in my mind
that if we and our Western
partners could underwrite
and assure the success of In
dian development, it would
make a world of difference.
It might be decisive in turn
ing the tide. It would put an
end to the enervating feeling
of fatality and'" of inevitabil
ity, to the sense that Com
munism is the only wave of
the future, that there is only
one way of internal salvation,
and that the West is impotent
and too lazy-to do anything
but let the future go by de
fault. There are a number of rea
sons why I think India is the
key country. It is, for- one
thing, a very big country
known to all of Asia as a land
of deep poverty. To' make a
showplace of a small island
like Formosa or for that mat
ter of Puerto Rico is a good
thing to do. But it is not con
vincing. For the Communists
are proving their case in big
countries like Russia and Chi
na. We shall have to prove
our case, that material prog
ress can be had with civil
liberty, in a big country.
For another thing, India
has the necessary structure,
including a civil service with
a good tradition - something
which does not exist in equal
measure elsewhere in Asia,
except in Japan.

I know there is a. notion
among many Americans that
the Indians are more than
halfway along the road to

fact that the Indians mean
to become a social democratic

that they are half-Communist
is based on the fact that on
many issues of foreign policy
tne Indian government differs
from ours and makes great ef

with the Soviet Union and
with its powerful and danger

tic determinists. That is more
than can be said with the
same confidence about quite
a number of the other peoples
who are not yet within the
Communist orbit.
If there is any other way
of meeting the Communist
challenge in Asia, I have not
heard of it. The tide is running
in favor of Communism al
most, one might say, by de
fault. Russia and China are
making a demonstration to
which the West is offering no
alternative. I do not know
where else a non-Communist
alternative can now be dem
onstrated, given the fact that
only in India, outside of the
Communist orbit, could a suc
cessful demonstration carry
conviction to the ereat masses
of the people who are looking
for a better way of life.
