MAY 7. 1961 Space By all odds, the best television program of the week was Friday morning's early, early show, broadcast live from Cape Canaveral. It had everything sex on TV anyway? It had drama, suspense, excitement, stretches of boredom which only heightened the thrill and the pride when the big rocket blasted off success fully, and when Navy (Jmdr. Alan Shepard Jr. was fished from the Atlantic by a helicopter a quarter-hour later. , . Even the fact that one couldn't see the last part, but could only hear the excited reports of the reporter on board the aircraft carrier in the target area, seemed to heighten the effect. e e e e CO WE did it. America sighed a huge, collective sigh of relief, and walked a little prouder and straighter to know that American science, technology and courage had licked the problems of spatial blast off and re-entry. , it was a time for pride and pleasure. But it was also a time for some sober back ground thoughts about the race for space, not only about our positive achievement. NE of the reasons the suspense was so great as we watched television the other morning was the knowledge that many of our space shots have gone awry; that Commander Shepard was, indeed, taking a chance; and that the slightest mis-cue could have killed this courageous man, right in the view of millions. Another was the knowledge that, great as the feat was, this downrange flight of a few hundred miles, at a speed of some 4,500 miles per hour, isn't m the same the Russian cosmonaut, speeds of some 17,000 ; And still another was that, "no matter how much money, effort and sweat is put into Amer ica's space program, the chances against our "catching up" within the next several years are pretty slim. - . DUT let these sobering second-thoughts remain " in the background, and let our pride of the moment minele with a shall not be the last of ments in this vital field While Russia, our competitor in this race, has more brute power lor luting space cratt, and thus a tremendous initial advantage, American technology has created far more sophisticated instrumentation, and the fact that Commander Shepard had a small degree of control over his vehicle is also of some significance. Many things will be required of the Ameri can people if this great achievement is not to go down in history as an also-ran. " IT WILL require money vast sums of it. It will require educational excellence, for Commander Shepard's courage and training actu ally were only one tiny fraction of the basic re search, the practical application of scientific the ory, the technical know-how to fit the million different factors together, which made the flight possible. - It will require patriotic and dedicated work hard work. And most of all it will require the support of the American people, determined that a nation of free men shall not be outstripped in the race to the new frontier of space by men whose life is pledged to a philosophy of slavery, repression, and the denial of the worth of the individual human being. E.A. Ecology Our desk dictionary defines the word "ecol ogy" thus: "Biology dealing with the mutual relations between organisms and their environment." , The word is a relatively new one, and not too widely known. But we're going to hear more about it in the future, for mankind is an "organ ism," and his relationship to his environment is complex, deteriorating, and potentially appalling, if not actually dangerous to the survival of the race of man as we Know LIERE are a few paragraphs by Robert C. Cook, writing in the Population Bulletin, and reprinted by the Washington (D.C.) Post: Consider four baste factors In the ecological com plex: space, air, water and people. Air and water have always been considered "frer," and the great open spaces Inviolable. The multiplication of people 's already changing this, and for the worse. Space, air and water will become priceless should the population of this country double to 360 million, as expected, in only 40 years. The air is becoming Increasingly polluted with waste which, In smog-Infested areas, eats holes in nylon stockings, makes the eyes smart, increases res piratory illnesses and may even cause cancer. Man has shown the most reckless disregard for ecology In his misuse of water resources.

A recent public health report , . . implies that to wash one's hands in the Missouri ts dangerous; to be dunked In this devil's brew of topsll, sewage and industrial wastes could be fatal. Will mankind learn to treat his environment as a vital, living and conservable and preservable home? Or will he continue to treat it as an expendable, unlimited resource, to be exploited until it's all gone and eroded mankind withers in a sea of asphalt, breathing dirt and drinking sewage?

During his ab sence his brother Stewart will write the Alsop col umn. KHRUSHCHEV REALLY MEANS IT Washington The rather special circumstance of a brother's demanding a couple of weeks of column - writ ing as a wed' ding present Is hardly like ly to be re- peated. So this is doubt less the last column under the above by- Aiso line that will ever appear In this space. This reporter therefore feels a bit like a dying man who wants to be remembered for his famous last words, but can't think of any. The best I can do is: KHRU SHCHEV REALLY MEANS WHAT HE SAYS. The British could never quite bring themselves to be lieve that Hitler really meant the crazy things he said in "Me In Kampf." But Hitler did mean them, because he was crazy too. Niklta Khrushchev is not crazy. Unlike Hitler, he has no irrational impulse to play Samson in the temple. But it Is important to realize that Khrushchev and those around him are rational within the limits imposed by the essen tially - irrational doctrine of Marxism-Leninism. This doc trine makes it possible for Khrushchev, like the White Queen, to "believe six impos sible things before breakfast," as when he remarked, in Mr. Walter Llppmann's fascinat ing interview with him, that he considered President Ken nedy merely an agent of the Rockefeller interests. e . NO DOUBT Khrushchev re ally believes this. More important, there is no doubt at all that he really believes that what his idol Lenin called "the cause of creating a world wide Soviet republic" is sure to triumph, and rather soon now. Indeedt in recent months he has been predicting that triumph more confidently than ever before. He has been quite explicit, moreover, about how the tri umph is to be achieved. He announced gloatingly more than a year ago that "the world balance of power has now turned sharply In favor of the Socialist countries." In his dispute with the Chinese Communists, he has ruled out the use of this power in a global nuclear war in order to Insure the triumph of the "world-wide Soviet republic." But, he says, "we shall make the imperialists jump like fishes in a saucepan, even without war." By "Imperialists" he means us, and in Southeast Asia, Cuba, and elsewhere, we have Indeed been Jumping like fishes In a saucepan. More over, Khrushchev has also been quite explicit about what he means by "without war." He means without the kind of war which might destroy the Soviet Union. Other wars are dandy. "We support wholeheartedly and without reservation all national liber ation wars," he said a few weeks ago. e e a THIS Is the kind of war Khrushchev and the Chi nese and Indo-Chinese Com munists have been promoting in Southeast Asia. It is wholly predictable that there will be more such wars, not only be cause Khrushchev means what he says, but because he must prove to the Chinese that he Is, as a Communist, more roy alist than the king. Once you assume tliat Khru shchev means what he says, J f 0S MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON Tribune Syndicate certain things become clear. One is that the cold war will go on, perhaps for generations. When the Kennedy adminis tration took office, there were those in the Kennedy inner circle who talked hopefully of negotiating a "package deal," which would Include arms control and a mutual agreement to,, "call off the cold war." These hopes have now, of course, turned to ash es. The reason they have turn ed to ashes is simple. To ask tne communist leaders to for bear to thrust for Communist power in any area they deem vulnerable is to ask them to cease to be Communists. This is from their point of view non - negotiable. The alterna tive is an agreement by our side not to respond to Com munist thrusts, and to await meekly the destruction of our system. From our point of view, this also is surely non negotiable. AS IN the Korean truce or the first Berlin hlnckarle. it is possible to negotiate with the Soviets temporary accom modations which reflect the current realities of power. Un fortunately, the current reali ties of power are suggested by the fact that, if President Kennedy had intervened in either Cuba or Laos let alone both he would have had to commit just about the entire pathetic corporal's guard of conventional forces at his disposal. It is not sur prising that Khrushchev was not much frightened by the President's bold words about Laos. Kennedy's first job is thus to right the real power bal ance. If the job is done, there Is no reason to- despair, de spite the recent disasters. For the other side has grave weak nesses which are less visible than 'ours, and the President. although he has blundered badly, is still capable of offer ing the leadership the West so desperately needs. But the lob will be exDen. slve and painful, and it will not be done unless we recog nize that when Khrushchev predicts that our system will be destroyed by his, he means just that. If all this seems a bit obvipus and unsubtle, so are most last words.

' Free World Leads in Production Capacity New York -IOTI- As of 19S9, the five leading steel-produc ing nations In the free world had a combined capacity to produce 1,113 pounds of steel per person.

Today & Tomorrow By Walter Uppmann (c New York Herald Trlbun Syndicate THE REAPPRAISAL Even with a cease-fire in Laos, our prospects in, Indo china are bleak.

In South Vietnam, which adjoins Laos, the government which we brought Into power and which we support, Is in great peril. It still holds the cities but it has all but lost control of the countryside to the Communist guerrillas. Why is our friend and client, Ngo Dinh Diem, losing this civil war? Mr. Stewart Al- SOD. writintf nn W.Hn.0ni, has supplied the answpr. Citing Mao Tse-tung on guer rilla warfare. Mr. ai points out that guerrillas must have support from with out in this case from Com munist Vietminh. Also tho great majority must be con- vincea mat tne guerrillas will win. But first of all. the unci-. rillas must have popular sup port within the country. Now the truth s no many corresDondents have re ported, that our man is ex tremely unpopular, his gov ernment beine both reaction ary and corrupt. It follows that If we are going to build ud a resistance tn thA rvm. munists. we cannot do It hv dropping in our paratroopers ana expecting mem to Win a guerrilla war. We shall have first . of all to reform dras tically the Vietnamese gov ernment which we support. For unless we can suDDort a popular government, we are certain to lose in Vietnam. WITH variations, conditions in Laos and South Viet. nam exist elsewhere, and un less this situation can be ex plained to our people, the President faces a series of in glorious and unpopular rear guard actions. Here he can find the first answer to the famous question in his inaugu ral address of what we can do for our country. What we can do for our country is first of all to give up being too proud to go through that truly agonizing reappraisal which is needed so that we can see the realities. This country has never vet had a leader who has 'dared to explain candidly the conse quences of the change in the world balance of power since the Soviet Union broke the American nuclear monopoly in 1949. Until about the middle 'fifties, until the Soviet Union began to develop missiles to carry .nuclear weapons, our military pre-eminence was still so great that we were able with impunity to encir cle the Soviet Union with military bases extending from Japan and South Korea through Southeast and South Cuba: Second Reaction Ripple By ERIC SEVARIED Recife, Brazil - In north east Brazil, the hemisphere's most conspicuous area and ex- wi i 1 1 ii ma ample for the revolution of rising expec tations, events of the last few days suggest that Latin re action to t h e attempted in vasion of Cu ba is not a complete and Several total loss to United States prestige and policy. Here, as everywnere eise In Latin America, the first wave sent out by the violent splash of the Invasion was a shock wave forcing every gov ernment and virtually every big newspaper below the bor der to scramDie lor me tem porary safety of an anti-Yankee position, but then, at least in this critical region, a second ripple followed and is worthy of attention. see In the town of Caruaru anti- Castro students organized "to break up a pro-Castro rally staged by Francisco Jullao and the Communist leaders of his now famous Peasant Leagues. The first speakers were pelted down with eggs and rotten fruit and Jullao did not dare to appear himself. At the Recife Airport Jullao Asia to the Middle East. We were strong enough to order the Red Army out of north ern Iran, which is on the Soviet frontier. We were able to thwart the blockade of West Berlin by an airlift. These things were possible because we had military su premacy. e WHEN the Soviet Union be " came a nuclear power, when our supremacy was re duced to parity, the wiser men of the West, those with lonff memories and Inne pv. j perience and long heads, real- ucu iiiai, niuiiary outposts could not be maintained on the, frontiert of the Commu nist world. Just as Cuba is not now, and will never be allowed to become, a Soviet military outpost, so in reverse for peripheral positions like Laos, South Vietnam, Quemoy and Matsu, and some others. The change in the world balance of power demanded a change in our policy. It de manded that we scrap the policy of American satellite states and promote instead a policy of neutralism for the weak and vulnerable peri pheral states. That is the best, indeed that is the only, hope of their not being engulfed by Communism. In some measure, the Kennedy admin istration has recognized this truth for example in accept ing the idea of neutral Laos. Bu the President has never explained it to the country, and therefore he has no re liable public opinion on which to lean. Furthermore, there are strong bureaucratic inter ests in, the State Department, the C. I. A., and the Pentason which are as opposed to a cnange oi policy by President Kennedy as were the French generals in Aleeria to a change by Gen. de Gaulle. JTNTIL the country under stands that the basic con ception of our policy has to be changed, Mr. Kennedy will be a harried man. He will have a series of crisis in which he has to be on the de fensive and always trying to see how little he can lose. Moreover, the energies of the country and his energies will be dispersed, and the atten tion of the country and his attention will be distracted from the great tasks. In Asia the great task is to consolidate the key coun tries which are India, Pakis tan, and Japan. In Latin America the fu ture wiU be determined In the key countries not in Cuba but in Brazil, the Ar gentine, Chile, Venezuela, and Mexico. In the Middle East the fu ture depends not on the north ern military alliance, which is mere paper, but on the capacity of the key countries; Egypt, Iraq, Turkey, and Iran, to adapt their policies to the realities of the stra tegic position. The whole future, whether it is to be war or peace, de pends on the consolidation of the AUantic AlUance, and upon the rise within it of new, fresh, military and political leadership. , , THERE Is a lot to be done and the fate of mankind does not depend upon .what happened in the Bay of Pigs. It would be a good thing If this could be realized by those whom H. G. Wells once described as the "Gawdsak ers," that is to say, those who are running about and wring- and his big Havana-bound del egation were obliged to pick up their bags and go home when Castro's promised air transport failed to arrive, and the jeering was considerable. As these words are written, hundreds of Recife residents are gathered in the Cathedral of Sao Pedro at a memorial Mass for the young Cubans who died on the tragic beach es, and rather suddenly Amer icans here are being approach ed by Brazilian friends, who say for the first time that the United States must eliminate Castro one way or another, whatever the diplomatic and propaganda price. Better a temporary explosion of feel ing against you, one respected Brazilian leader said to me, than the appearance of inde cision and weakness. The United States above all else must not appear to be a paper dragon In this part of t h e world. e e e How wide this second rip ple of reaction may have spread in South America I could not guess, but hete it is unmistakable, and what it means is that the Cuban af fair is forcing Latin Ameri cans at long last to take a position on Castro.

There was a fire downtown the other day, and we had a reporter and photographer in attendance, who, as instructed, conducted themselves in a manner designed to be as helpful as possible. Others in attendance in cluded a well-behaved crowd of spectators, and a large crew of radio and television reporters, who were swarm ing all over the place, lugging equipment around, and gen erally whooping things up. A friend of ours watched the scene, then went home to hear an excited voice over the ra dio report on how the fire men were "hampered in their v-ork by the crowds." "Huh," our friend snorted to us the next day. "The only ones that were doing any hampering were those radio and TV guys."

Having gotten things in perspective again, the country could turn its attenUon to those regions of the globe where great and inspiring things are waiting to be done. poses of conservatives and na tionallsts as well as of com munists.
