Toward Mars...
It was only a few years ago that this writer,
in this space, ventured the thought that it might
be possible for mankind to set foot on the moon
before too many decades had passed, and the ten
tative and wistful hope he'd be around to know
about it. "
We received several rather fishy stares as a
result.
Today, however, with a half-dozen artificial
satellites in orbit around the earth, with two
American moon-probes unsuccessful only for
minor technical reasons, and with a Russian rock
et circling the sun some millions of miles away,
the wistful hope of being around when a landing
on the moon is made doesn't seem quite so foolish
after all. .
fNE of the men most responsible for the pro-
gress toward the stars now forecasts a man
ned expedition to Mars by the year 1974 that's
15 years from now provided the United States
made "all the effort it could and should."
The speaker was Dr. Wernher von Braun,
technical director at the Huntsville, Ala., Army
rocket laboratories. German-born,- he was associ
ated with the German rocket development before
and during World War II, and came to this coun
try later. He is responsible for many of the more
significant developments in rocketry and space
propulsion research.
FIFTEEN years may seem a short period of time
in which to develop space hardware sufficient
to take an expedition to Mars.
But let's see. Fifteen years ago (in 1944)
few outside select scientific or military circles
were even aware of the possibility of atomic
bombs, let alone all the other developments which
have stemmed from the discoveiy of atomic phys
ics. The jet aircraft was still strictly in the experi
mental stage. Helicopters were still to be perfect
ed. The "mainstay" airplane was still the reliable
old DC-3. The DC-4 now obsolescent hadn't
even been placed in service yet.
Many of the miracles
sistor, the printed circuit,
were yet to be invented.
In 1944 rocketry, despite the fact that it was
an ancient art, was still
Germans were domg much about it m an or
ganized manner, and that was still experimental.
The V-ls and V-2s were to come later.

Today & Tomorrow
By Walter
The demands for the imme
diate appointment of a new
Secretary of State arise,, so
it seems to
me, from an
i n c o m p lete
an a 1 y sis of
the situation.
The heart of
the matter is
that as Mr.
Dulles has ad
ministered the
office under
President Ei
senhower, no man can replace
him during his lifetime. What
ever his nominal role, be it
as titular Secretary of State
or as senior advisor . to the
President, the first authority
in foreign policy will be his
and no other man can expect
to exercise it.
The situation in which we
find ourselves is unique in
modern American history.
For no President has ever
before delegated to his Sec
retary of State so much pow
er over the issues of war and
peace. This power, though it
has been delegated by the
President, has in fact become
deeply connected with the
personality of John Foster
Dulles. It cannot easily be
disconnected from his per
sonality, and there is no oth
er man to whom the Presi
dent can now delegate it. A
new man will be subject to
Mr. Dulles' actual views, or
to the views attributed to Mr.
Dulles by those who believe
they know all that is in his
mind. Once a man has ex
ercised such a vast power for
such a long time, he cannot
readily put it aside.
IN ONE way or another,
therpfnrp. a wav will havp
to be improvised by which
for the time being, Mr. Dulles
retains the final responsibil
ity in the great decisions. It
is an awkward arrangement.
But in the circumstances it is
at the present moment the
best that is possible.
It could not be cured by
appointing an outsider, say
Mr. Lodge, Mr. McCloy, or
General Gruenther. For they
would be as subject as is Mr.
Herter to the over-riding au
thirity of Mr. Dulles. In ad
dition, they would need long
months of schooling in the
work of the Department of
State before they could hope
to administer it.
What we must look for is a
working arrangement between
the White House, Walter Reed
Hospital, and the Department
of State-the arrangement to
last as long as Mr. Dulles be
lieves he can play his part
and does not decide on a total
retirement from public life,
IT IS quite true,, of course,
that at first it is harl to
imagine how this hybrid ar
rangement would work out if

we come to the Foreign Min
isters' meeting which the Al
lies have proposed to Mos
cow. But it is not impossible
to imagine it if we take a
matter of fact view of the
Foreign Ministers' conference.
Had Mr. Dulles not been
stricken, have we any reason
to suppose that much could
come of a meeting between
him, who has political power,
and a civil servant like Mr.
Gromyko,- who is not in the
highest ranks of the Soviet
rulers?
A true negotiation over the
ultimate issues of war and
peace need not be a spectacu
lar public encounter as in
Geneva in. 1955. But negotia
tion about the ultimate issues
of war and peace must be at
the "summit," that is to say
among those who have the
final power of decision. This
means that the negotiation
must be with Mr. Khrushchev,
not with Mr. Gromyko, with
Mr. Macmillan,' with General
de Gaulle, and with what we
may call the regents who ex
ercise the legal powers of
Eisenhower and the personal
powers of Dulles.
-
TT IS against the background
of these considerations that
we can most fairly think of
Mr. Macmillan's visit to Mos
caw. The visit was decided
upon before Mr. Dulles be
came ill. But now that Mr.
Dulles is ill, it is most for
tunate that Mr. Macmillan
has been able to go to Mos
cow. For while in the tech
nical sense he is not there,
as he has said -so many times,
to "negotiate,", it is exactly
the kind of communication
which he is now having with
Mr. Khruschchev which must
come first if there is ever to
be a successful negotiation.
Indeed, it would be neces
sary to have such communica
tion even if the Kremlin had
accepted at once the invita
tion to a Foreign Ministers'
conference. For the Foreign
Ministers' conference would
have little prospect of suc
cess if no understanding is
reached, first at the summit
of the great powers.
There is no use trying to
guess what Mr. Macmillan
will come home with. But,
judging from the reception he
has had from Mr. Khrusch
chev, he is likely to come
home with the clearest and
the most reliable picture that
the West has yet had of what
is negotiable and how.

America already is dead.
This happened in 1949
when General Marshall al
lowed the Red sympathizers
in our government to use
him to hand China to them.
This went according to a plan
made 31 years before that by
Lenin. The men who pre
pared intelligence reports
used by Gen. Marshall knew
that plan to the letter and
worked to see it through.
This is a matter of record.
It is unfortunate that men
like Senator Jenner and the
late Joe McCarthy were more
interested in headlines than
in laying it out in plain facts
which anyone could read
then, and can today, in the
Public Library. I personally
read them three years before
McCarthy entered the U. S.
Senate. Many others knew
them long before 1947. Amer
icans were taken for a ride
by International Communism
in the 1930's, and sold out
in 1949. General MacArthur
was fired in 1952 for daring
to oppose it.
Briefly the Reds planned
to (1) get into China, (2) get
the U. S. into a World War,
(3) center attention on Eu
rope after that war and take
China and Asia unmolested,
(4) bankrupt the U. S. with
brushfire wars nd by de
veloping raw materials in
China and Siberia and dam
aging them on world markets
to dry up American exports
by forcing our high cost (due
to union wages) goods off the
market. They now are weU on
their way to finishing this
last point while we worry
about peace talks in Berlin
and moon rockets.
I personally am not wor
ried. I believe the Bible is
the Word of God. If so, the
one who can be saved is you
and me - not America or
the world. I am trusting
Jesus Christ to take me out
of it. It is my only hope.

years, I was pleased to see
your editorial of Feb. 19 dis

Congressman Charles O. Por
ter that a chair lift be in
stalled at Crater Lake be
tween the Rim area and the
waters of the lake, to enable
visitors to more easily get
down to the lake to enjoy
boating facilities.
I have written to Congress
man Porter to point out why
such an installation would be
objectionable.
Mr. Karl W. Onthank, 1653

ask what I think of the pro

t i m e n t a 1 humanitarianism
timental humanitarianism,
Hatchets will be the instru
ments employed.
- Secretary Benson is ripe for
the operating table because
his farm program has finally
got absolutely out of hand. A
few comparisons tell the fair
ly horrendous story.
IlfHEN all conservative per-
sons were aroused by the
extravagant farm subsidies
paid by the Truman spenders,
the total cost of the subsidies
never passed $1,250,000,000.
Again, the Brannan Plan was
expected to strangle Ameri
can agriculture in the em
brace of creeping socialism
and bankrupt the American!
Treasury in the same breath.
But the Brannan Plan's total
estimated cost was no more
than about $2,000,000,000 -and
this would have covered
all the planned wickedness.
In contrast, the conserva
tive, sound-dollar, free enter
prise policies of Secretary
Benson have produced .a re
quest for just under $7,000,
000,000 of agricultural appro
priations next year. The
$9,000,000,000 worth of sur
pluses the Utah free enter
priser - has managed to ac
cumulate will cost above
$1,250,000,000 in mere stor
age and handling .charges-a
larger sum than the spender,
Truman, ever paid out to the
farmers themselves. Since the
spenders were driven out of
the Agriculture Department
in 1953, administrative costs
have , also risen by close to
900 per cent. And the Utah
free enterpriser's bill for farm
subsidies next year is in the
neighborhood of $4,000,000,
000, or about twice the esti
mate cost of the nefarious
Brannan Plan.
"EWEN the farm-state Sena-
" tors, never before accus
tomed to be .tender in their
dealings with the public purse,
have begun to be alarmed
by this monstrous inflation
of the expense of the . farm
program. So they are not
merely preparing to "operate
on Ezra"; they are also getting
ready a substitute program
of their own.
The groundwork is being
done by the administrative
assistants of Sens. Talmadge,
Humphrey, Symington of Mis
souri, and Proxmire of Wis
consin. Sen. Talmadge, one of
the sharpest intellects in the
modern Senate, is the main
director and inspirer of the
effort. Since the Congress is
rarely able to impose brand
new major policies on the ex
ecutive branch, it is doubtful
whether the effort of the four
Senators will bear immediate
legislative fruit. But even if
the bill they are preparing
does not pass, it is virtually
certain to become the Demo
cratic farm plank in 1960
Omitting the technicalities,
the four-senator scheme is
simple enough. Existing spe
cial schemes for tobacco,
wool, and other special crops,
will be retained. But all other
crop controls will be jettison
ed, and all the main crops
will be sold on the free mar
ket, at home and abroad. Sub
sidies in the from of parity
payments will then be given
to producers of wheat, cot
ton, rice, peanuts, corn, and
milk. But only on that share

mobile. I drove this old car, when
I was going to high school
in Ashland. Many people re
member it, and many people
rode in it. It was my first
taxi car. It had pasteboard
doors and body, and came
equipped with high pressure
tires. Every day we had a
boom and a bust. We stopped
that. We installed hard rub
ber tires. They shook the
pasteboard doors off the card
board body and the cardboard
body off the tin chassis.
We did something about
that too. Some of my teen
age friends helped me install
a spare porcelain bathtub on
the car. The next day after
we installed the tub on the
tin chassis, I made the first
of my many records. I am the
first person in the world to
hit a cow with a 35 horse

the first person in the world
to fall out of their portable

of their crop consumed in this
country.
IN OTHER words, if our
wheat output is a billion
bushels, and America con
sumes half a billion bushels
of this output, a farmer who
produces 1,000 bushels of
wheat will receive subsidies
to. bring the price of half his
crop up to 100 per cent of
the sacred and mythical "pari
ty" price. Special arrange
ments are provided to liqui
date the Utah free enterpris
er's staggering surplus stores
in a gradual manner. Above
all, it is provided that no
individual farmer may re
ceive a subsidy-payment in ex
cess of $12,500. Mainly be
cause the big farmers are left
to shift for themselves, the
whole scheme is estimated to
cost only about $2,000,000,000
at present prices, or half the
cost of subsidies requested by
Benson. .
The scheme's real interest
lies in its single-mindedness.
It is solely designed to pre
serve and assist a sorely en
dangered American asset, our
independent farming popula
tion. Socially, biologically, his
torically, this is a name well
worth national investment.

Science Teachers'
Salaries Compared
With Secretaries'
By FRANK ELEAZER
Washington - (UPD - No case
was cited wherein a high
school physics or chemistry
teacher has quit his job to
run errands for Congress. But
there did seem to be a connec
tion somewhere.
The witnesses said most
states have lifted the starting
salaries for such teachers to
maybe $3,600 or even $3,800
a year. Though they didn't say
so, a congressional page is
paid at the rate of $4,047.
As everybody knows, there
is a shortage of scientists. The
only way to get more is to
teach them. Unfortunately
there also is a shortage of
science teachers and the testi
mony was that maybe half of
those now on the job don't
know their business.
The House Space Commit
tee was exploring their prob
lem with Dr. Herbert A
Smith, president of the Na
tional Science Teachers As
sociation, and Robert H.
Carleton, the association's
executive secretary.
Discuss Use of Paddle
Besides the low starting
pay, they listed a number of
current headaches in the
teaching game. Included in
Dr. Smith's qualified view,
was a possible need for occa
sional use of the paddle on
students who don't get pad
dled at home.
But the talk kept return
ing to money. Carleton said
good science teachers ought
to get, eventually, $10,000 or
$12,000 a year. He didn't say
specifically what's the most
they can hope for. But he said
the average pay for all high
school teachers hit $5,000 for
the first time last year.
"You gentlemen know how
much you have to pay to hire
secretaries," said Carleton,
putting his finger, however
innocently, on a very sore
spot.
Not only did the space com
mittee members know. So
did just about everybody else
in the country who can read.
