The remote 4,000-acre test base, rising in stark contrast against the rugged background of the wood Today & Tomorrow By Walter WEAPONS AND SPACE The argument about our de fenses, which is now raging, revolves around what used to be called the "missile gap" and is now called the "de terrent gap." The gap in ei ther version is during the next few years when ho Q n i r i n t TTn- fValter Liippmanii ion will have in operation perhaps three times as many long range mis siles as we have. In this period of time the Soviet Union will be able, says General Power, the Com mander of the Strategic Air Force, to "virtually wipe out our entire nuclear (retalia tory) strike capability within a span of 30 minutes." Theo retically then, the Soviet Un ion would no longer be de terred since it could knock us out before we could answer back. The Administration's view is that this is an abstract theo retical equation - General Power called it "a mathemati cal probability" - which in fact and in reality the Soviet Union could not and would not act upon. For the total retaliatory power of the Unit ed States and its allies is to be measured not only in mis siles but in manned bombers which can be kept in the air, and by other strategic weap ons such as submarines and mobile missile bases. ON THE nearer issue of whether we shall soon be at the mercy of the Soviet Union, the Administration has, it seems to me, a good case. No doubt General Power is right to insist upon the "mathematical probability" that 150 long range missiles and another 150 medium range missiles could in half an hour destroy the 100 in stallations and facilities from which we can launch a nu clear reply. But while this is a good and sufficient reason for strengthening our retalia tory force and of spending the money to protect it, there is a bigger issue which we need to ponder and to discuss. The deep weakness in the Administration's position is not that we cannot deter the Soviet Union in 1963. It is that in the general field of rockets and the exploration of space we are not even holding our own. We are falling be hind. The Administration case, although good enough on the risks of war in 1963. contains within it a great and quite unfounded assumption. This assumption is that al though the Soviet Union is now ahead of us, we are in the process of catching up. This supposes that we are now moving faster than the Soviet Union is moving. There is no reason to think that this is true. Almost cer tainly the truth is that they are moving faster than we are. This is the most serious of all the gaps. It is that, despite the genius and talent avail able, our science and tech nology are less good than that of the Soviet Union. 1TE HAVE all asked our- selves why. My own view, for what it may be worth, is that our second-rate-ness stems from a false con ception of the whole matter and from a fundamentally wrong decision. The false con ception is the President's be lief that there are two sepa rate and distinct fields - one for military weapons and the other for the exploration of space. From this fallacy stems the decision to leave the de velopment of the missiles to the military services and to treat the exploration of space as a form of boon-doggling, of Lippmann no concern to our safety and with no serious claims on the budget. From this comes, so I am convinced, the fact that the armed services find it very hard to recruit and to hold on to the very best scientific minds of the country. The very first rate men will not devote their lives to making a weapon that will soon be obsolete. These same men are often not recruited for the space exploration because the whole effort there is starved for money. THE SECOND - rateness . of our performance is due to the fact that our programs -military and for space do not invite and encourage the very first rate minds. I am afraid that the reason why the Soviets are ahead of us is that their military weapons and their space rockets are under the control, not of the soldiers and not of the factory man agers, but of the scientists. Men of genius cannot do what they are capable of doing if, as is the case today, they are herded into separate compartments and told to de vote themselves to limited aims. They will respond best if they can believe that they are part of a great inquiry and experimentation into the nature of the universe. In all the flourishing periods of dis covery and invention the air m e n breathed stimulated them to look beyond the horizon. There is no such favoring climate today. Instead we have a Philistinism which supposes that the most origi nal and first rate minds can be hired for any job that the boss chooses for them. And we have a materialism which regards the exploration of space, and indeed the explora tion of the unknown, as less important than the multipli cation of consumer goods. Such Philistinism and ma terialism are the attributes of a declining and second-rate power, and they are our real cause for concern. (c) 1960 New York Herald Tribune Inc.

YE OLD FASHIONED HOSPITALITY Before a Cheery Fireplace BOWLING SHUFFLEBOARD GUN PRACTICE SNACK BAR Thursday, Jan. 28, 1960 Try and Stop Me -By BENNETT CERF STEPHEN LEACOCK, Canadian professor and humorist, once told his American colleague, Irwin Edman, a story about a practical college student. "I have decided," said the student, "that this fall I will take courses in Tur kish, music and architec ture." "An odd combination," commented Leacock. "Do you expect to be choir master in a Turkish cathedral?" "Not at all," answered the unsmiling student. "Those courses come at 9, 10,. and 11 o'clock."
