20 Yeats Ago
Just 20 years ago Life magazine brought out
an issue largely devoted to "America's future."
A friend dropped a copy on our desk the other
day, and we have been poring over it in fascina
tion. In some ways, change has been far more
than expected; in other ways this June of 1959 is
remarkably similar (at least in the retrospective
view presented by life) to that pre-war June of
1939. .
There is little evidence in the magazine of the
international tensions which, in 1939, were bidd
ing up to history's greatest war. But perhaps this
is natural in this sort of special edition. -
JOHN Steinbeck's book, "The Grapes of Wrath,"
is reviewed, one of the few evidences of a
country which was just then coming out of the
great depression which started eight years earlier.
Nylons had just been introduced; television
broadcast its firstball game, was still a novel
ty, and not yet an intimate adjunct to virtually
every American home; a review of the industries
and resources of the Pacific Northwest features
the great reclamation , projects of Grand Coulee
dam, then three-fifths completed. These and oth
er articles, some historical, some taking a look
ahead, are featured in the issue. "
MEAR the front, 33 comic strips are given a
quick glance. Many of the old "stand-bys"
are still around, although most of them have
changed somewhat, either in format or in draw
ing style. Others are now vanished.
Maggie and Jiggs, Mutt and Jeff, the Katzen
jammer Kids, Joe Palooka and (of course) little
Orphan Annie were virtually the same 20 years
ago as they are today. "Annie" hasn't grown an
inch nor a month in two decades. And Dick Tracy
is just as sharp-nosed and jutty-jawed now as
then. . : : . .
Skeezix and Nina today are 20. years older
then they were then, in their courting days, but
the format of the panel is similar.- .
Those which have changed are Li'l Abner,
which has become even more grotesque as the
years have passed; Terry, in which the art work
is slicker now than then (perhaps a natural de
velopment, although in part because the artists
if i n ir?ii m ii
is auierem; mmon uanui arew lerry in mose
days). Blondie and Dagwood are a little differ
ent, although not much, in drawing, and Alexan
der, now in his teens, then was Baby Dumpling
a case of his growing faster than Annie but slow
er than the march of the years.
IN LIFE'S only glance at world headlines, report-
ed from the week before, were these :
Italy and Germany sign war pact Danzig
crowds voice , hatred of Poles. Fascist paraders
manhandle Czechs. Japanese withdraw 50 miles
in "victory." Britain again defaults. Joint British
French war games predicted. Anti-Rome feeling
strong in Greece. German police jail high Czech
officials. Russia to step up arms outlay 66 per;
cent Plots laid to Nazis in Brazil, Ecuador. Japa
nese fliers bomb Chungking. New fights disturb
Manchukuo border. Franco has shot 688 Loyal
ists since fall of Madrid.
Republicans declared "National Debt Week,"
viewed with alarm the
debt, and prophesied national bankruptcy or "the
equally suicidal jeopardy of inflation."
THIRTY-THREE men from the sunken, sub-
marine Squalus were rescued with a diving
bell; 26 others died. Tom Pendergast was sen
tenced to 15 months in Leavenworth and fined

then-infant aircraft industry, which was to grow

Headlines, gathered

Einstein believes he's found solution to gravi
tation riddle. New key is found to Atomic energy.
Endless duel of atoms declared source of fuel in
furnace of sun. New test reveals cancer chemical.
X-rays reverse processes of life. Vast electric
'sea' explored by radio.
dieted Dy y4u. MaKes plane dive oyo mues an
hour. Clipper starts air mail line to Europe. A new
highway to the Arctic.
COME of these headlines were prophetic; others,
inevitably, showed only the clouds in the
crystal ball.
. And the "Futurama"
year also had some cloudy prophecy cloudy,
perhaps, because of the oncoming war. ",:
For 1960 it foresaw

destrian waiKways on tne second - story level;
automated (although the word hadn't vet been in
vented) farms; a highway with four lanes for
oU-mph traffic, two for

What does all this prove? Nothing much, ex

that America has moved faster in some ways than
predicted, and slower in others, and tha World

Washington-The man who j
was unconquerable in France's
sick defeat is becoming just

sufferable in
France's splen
did return to
strength and
vigor under
his leadership.'
This is about
the way re
sponsible A men' ran and
WwwS ' - British inform
ants now view General
Charles de Gaule, though they
would never in the world put
the thing so crudely in public.
De" Gaulle strode with
haughty-and superb-skill into
France's hopelessly chaotic
political situation just over a
year ago. Now, he has ac
complished the nearly incom
parable feat of bringing the
French back to some of the
power and the glqry. His
work has been of enormous
value to all the West, as well
as to France. " Our officials,
and those of Britain, are
thankfully aware of this.
But the trouble is that he
is a coldly passionate perfec
tionist and an icy idealist. He
is now trying to force this
country and Britain to accept
as a fact what cannot ever
really be a fact. He is trying
to make us agree that France
is a great power comparable
to the Unifed States and the
United Kingdom. Saying it
would not make it so, except
perhaps to him.
rpHIS IS the meaning of de
Gaulle's' new threat to
make no further commitments
to the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization unless the . Uni
ted States shares atomic
weapons with him. These we
cannot share with him under
our law. And under no fore
seeable conditions would we
do so if we could.
He wants to join the "Atom
ic Club" - the U. S. and Bri
tain - not simply to have the
weapons in hand. He knows
that only those nations with
heavy atomic power can be
truly decisive any more in
international politics.
For many months he has
been making this demand and
that demand, on pain of do
ing further harm to NATO if
he were nof satisfied. One
irony is that while no nation
in the West could afford the
destruction of NATO, the
common shield of all, France
least of all could survive such
a destruction.
Another irony is that this
great collective security or
ganization to which de Gaulle
again threatens to make no
more "contributions" would
long ago have withered had
it depended on the French.
France long since has com
mitted her real military
strength v to North Africa.
There she is desperately, and
understandably, trying to
hang onto historic off-shore
positions centering in Algeria.
.
THE MILITARY headquar
ters of NATO is just out
side' Paris. But if troop con
tributions to NATO were the,
determining factor in choos
ing a HQ, the thing might 8s
well be in Omaha. (This 11
known fact makes it no easier
for the NATO supreme com

before this in the Paris sub

third irony, France is vital
to NATO as its geographic
center. It is in France that
we have raised up the heart
of NATO's "infrastructure"
the air strips, supply depots,
pipeline terminals and all the
vast complex of defense so
essential to the alliance.
And. for a fourth and final
irony, de G a u 1 1 e, notwith
standing France's inherent
lack of great strength, is him
self too strong and too indis
pensable to be subdued or
placated by the ordinary di
plomacy. What he wants, like

is a face-to-face meeting with

that anywhere he may place

certainly shows no eagerness
for it. . But pressures for it
are rising, here as In France,

SPEAKING of. communica
tions ,
It took weeks and weeks for
the word that Oregon had
been admitted to the. Union
to reach the newly' made
state a century ago. But even
that was rapid delivery when
compared with another histor
ic message.
Back in, 1846 Captain John
C. Fremont was twiddling his
ers amongst us are liable to
start lending their money to
somebody who can pay more
than the 4V4 per cent interest
which is all the law now lets
us pay ourselves when we
lend to the government.
That will leave Uncle Sam
in a terrible bind, and people
will start distrusting the dol
lar. So then, we'll all put our
money in stocks, and, interest
rates will go up.
"I'm trying to get interest
rates to go down," he ex
plained. When it comes time to re
lay this to the House, some
body besides Rep. Hale Boggs
D-La.) wUl have to do it, I
guess. He couldn't see it.
Martin Explains
Boggs also couldn't under
stand right away why, at a
time when everything is go
ing just great, outstanding
government bonds are being
traded at far less than face
value.
"In times of great prosper
ity," Martin explained, "in
terest rates rise. Rising inter
est rates are not a sign of
weakness but a sign of grow
ing confidence.".
Apparently this didn't sat
isfy Boggs either. Anyway, he
said maybe rising interest
rates, and the government's
troubles - therefrom, result
from the government's own
hard money policy.
Not at all, Martin observed.
If anything, he said, there
has been too much money
around, not too little.
And here he got into some
thing even I could understand.
He said it's not just the
amount of money in circula

but also the speed at which

Attributed to Adenauer
were these charges against
Erhard:
That he opposed: West Euro
pean unity.
That he could not maintain
the continuity of West Ger

At 62, Erhard is more than
20 years Adenauer's junior.
The differences between the
two are those of day and
night, but each in his own
way has been the indispensa

Rockefeller's Presidential
Chances Await '60 AppraisaJ
By LYLE C. WILSON
Washington (DPD Along
about January, 1960, will be
soon enough to determine
whether New York's Gov.
Nelson A.
Rock efeller
has a solid
chance to win
the Republi
can presiden
tial nomina
tion. Practical
p o 1 i t i cians
will wait un
til January to
Lyie c. wuson make their
own estimate of Rockefeller's
political potential. They will
be waiting for the governor's
second annual message to the
New York Legislature. It will
be recaUed that in his first
message, last January, Rocke
feller rocked New York stafe
and shook up the Republican
party with a demand for a
big tax boost, and got about
what he wanted.
Rockefeller's January, 1960,
message might have better
news for the taxpayers. The
governor, will be in business
as a likely Republican presi
dential nominee if that 1960
message reports a surplus in
tne state treasury and re
quests a tax reduction.
A 1960 surplus and a tax
cut would compel the Repub
lican party to take a long and
lively look' at Gov. Rocke
feller. Vice President Richard
M. Nixon's prospects would
be clouded and Rockefeller's
would be correspondingly
thumbs down in the lower
Sacramento valley. It is pre
sumed that he had been sent
there on a mission. The mis
sion is presumed to have been
to TAKE OVER CALIFOR
NIA if and when the psycho
logical moment arrived.
He fiddled around, waiting
for the message. He wandered
from Sutter's Fort to Sonoma.
He wandered on to Monterey.
From there, he headed over
into the Salinas valley. He
was killing time. Eventually,
he headed north to the Klam
ath country
Still killing time. Waiting
for the message.
MEANWHILE Marine Lieu
tenant Gillespie had been
dispatched from Washington
with word for Captain Fre
mont's private ear.
He went first by U.S. naval
vessel to Vera Cruz, Mexico.
From Vera Cruz, he went
overland to Mexico City. From
Mexico City, he traveled over
land to Mazatlan. .From Maz
atlan he sailed to Hawaii
then known as the Sandwich
Islands. From there he came
back by ship to San Francisco.
In San Francisco, he learn
ed that' Captain Fremont was
in the Klamath country. So he
headed north. He found Fre
mont waiting on upper Klam
ath Lake and delivered his
verbal message. He had been
given a written message, but
somewhere along the line he
became fearful that the mes
sage might be taken off his
person, and read by someone
who shouldn't read it. So he
committed it to memory, and
ate the paper.
CAPTAIN FREMONT re
ceived the message by
word of mouth from Gilles
pie. Immediately he and Gil
lespie and Kit Carson and the
rest of his party took horse
and rode hell for leather for
the vicinity of Sonoma, where
they joined the remainder of
Fremont's force, along with
others, and raised the Bear
Flag and proclaimed the Bear
Republic, which became the
American state of California,

led him to a doctor's degree
in economics from Frankfurt
university. v
In 1947, partly because he
had no Hitler ties, he became
economics chief for the U.S.
and British occupation zones
of Germany.
Right About Prices -
Erhard leaped to promi
nence in 1948, when, without
consulting the Allies, he -went
to the radio and announced
the end of rationing controls.
The next day he was sum
moned to the office of Ameri
can military commander Lu
cius Clay, who warned him:
"AU of my advisers are
against this." '
Unperturbed, Erhard re
plied: "All my advisers are
against it, too."
For a while it looked as if
the resulting price spiral
would cost Erhard both his
job and reputation. But, true
to his predictions, prices fell
and production rose. .
' Erhard is not. a backroom
politician but rather one who
believes in going to the peo-
brightened by such a com-1
bination.
Some of the governor's po
litical disabilities would begin
to ; fade, under uch circum
stances. Many organization
Republicans would consider it
a disability that Rockefeller
does not always wear the
party label proudly. For ex
ample, the fact that he was
the Republican candidate for
governor last year was de
emphasized in his . campaign
for governor. . -
Campaigner Rocke feller
seemed unwilling to associate
himself with the Eisenhower
administration: all but bolted
the city in an effort to avoid
a meeting with Nixon during
the campaign. Some Republi
cans question how deeply
Rockefeller's political roots
go into Republican soil. Some
of these dte the opinion of
Averell Harriman, the Demo
cratic governor whom Rocke
feller defeated last November.
Harriman Remarks
In' a newspaper interview,
Harriman said: "Mr. Rocke
feller, in my judgment, ran
as a liberal Democrat."
In a less publicized remark,
Harriman on' Dec. 23, 1958,
expressed the opinion that the
Republicans would not nomi
nate Rockefeller in 1960 be
cause he is too far to the left
-"even more so than I. "Fur

zons and dislikes the Euro
pean common market plan
only because he believes ; it
limits the horizon and may
result in other restrictions la
ter. For him, the whole world
is a free trade area.
Remain at Odds
Erhard is a man who be
lieves in negotiation and per
suasion. He would like to see
an atmosphere of freer move
ment between Eas: and West,
but he says:
"There is no middle ground
between freedom and slavery,
cur system and their system.
These things cannot be
mixed." . '
He would give the Comtnu
ri;is no chance for any con
trol over West German life.
There seems no real diverg
ence of views between Ade
nauer and Erhard.
But meanwhlie, despite pub
lic apologies, the two men
most responsible for present
day Germany remain at odds.
The results could reach be

Party Regularity
There is no question jbout
Nixon's party regularity.
There seems to be some ques

of course, need not be a dis
ability in the Republican
Party. Republican national
conventions from time to time
have rejected the claims of
