'V Dropout Take the top 30 the brightest of every 100 pupils entering our bulging high schools this month. Three of them will fail to graduate. Only 20 of them will go to college. Probably only 13 of them will stay in college until they get the baccalaureate degree. This is1 the meaning of statistics prepared for the National Science Foundation on the awful waste of school dropouts. The trouble begins in high school. Of males in the upper !J0 per cent of ability rating, 55 per cent never become college graduates. One fifth of these 20 out of every 100 do not finish high school. Among girls in the top 30 per cent, only 9 per cent fail to finish. e TAKE the top 10 per cent of the ability range. From this group 9 per cent are not graduated from high school. (And of those who do graduate in the top 10 per cent, one-fourth do not go on to college.) The Baltimore "Sun" recently called attention to a federal study showing that 63 per cent of that city's white adults had less than a full high school education. The like figures for Negroes was 80 per cent. Of 21 other cities in equaled Baltimore's high whites. Three other cities of Negroes lacking a achievement Cincinnati, 81 per cent; and New WHY do they drop out? Some of the answers nva eiii'niMsinfr Thf Nafiniml Sripnpe Fniinrla- tion concludes that the financial problem consti tutes "the largest single reason for failure to en ter college." But what about high school? The Maryland Department of Education last year conducted a state-wide survey. Jt showed that the largest'nercentage of dropouts left school at ace 16 and that almost 49.8 per cent were average or above average in mental ability. THE Federal Government agreed on Feb. 11 to nrnuiVlo fiinrls fnr a rlpmnnsfrntinn nrnippr aimed at retraining high school dropouts in high unemployment areas of New Haven as industrial draftsmen and laboratory technicians. A similar project already is under The Wash melon "Post improvement" classes have saved many potential dropouts.

If the problem ever is to be solved, some new way must be found potential talent represented by the high school dropout. E.R.R. Railroads and The U.S. Supreme Court is expected on Mon day to announce whether court decision holding that the nation s railroads liave the right to change forced by five unions representing on-train work ers. Fcatherbedding, according to the U.S. Sev enth Circuit Court of Appeals, causes railroads losses in "wage costs for unncetled employees oc cupying redundant positions, pay for time not worked, compensation that was not commensur ate with the value of the services rendered, and the cost of owning and and facilities that would lrom the restrictions placed upon the ethciency and economy of operations." THE United States Supreme Court is not likely to overthrow that Appeals Court decision of Nov. 2b, although it is being asked by the live on-train unions to do so. If the court rules against the unions, thus end ing the legal phase of versy over rail union work ened in the rail industry. tricate machinery of would put off that eventuality for many months. Whatever the outcome of the court battle, and even the strike if any, the sign at the end of the long tunnel says automate. The pressures on rail roads to modernize at the expense of jobs arc intense. THE "Wall Street .Journal" reports that between litoO and liKil "the railroad share of inter city freight traffic dropped from 5(1 per cent to 43 per cent." In the same period, average ner hour compensation for rail employees jumped (S per cent, helping to squeeze profits on the reduced share of that business. The cluster of injunctions in rail labor-mana-agement disputes pendant on the Supreme Court decision in the current proceeding make it clear that the decision will set a pattern for the indus try. The railroads contend that automation will make their linos more competitive by cutting costs and rendering better service. The alternative seems pretty clear. Now, just as "0 years ago, doubt about ihe ability of rail carriers to survive without public assistance is widespread. E.IJ.R.

This fact cannot fail to influence a Alinp potential ag gressor, at least in some meas ure." These sentences from Gen. de Gaulle's famous January press conference deserve to be weighed with minute care. for they appear to contain the missing piece in the puzzle of de Gaulle's European policy. Their crucial character was underlined, as it were, by a signal honor done to this re porter. Immediately after the press conference, an article ap peared in this space pointing out that the French deterrent was highly unlikely to "influ ence a potential aggressor," precisely because it would not have the "somber and terrible power" which Gen. de Gaulle claimed for it. The appearance of this ar ticle in Paris caused the French Minister of Defense, Pierre Messmcr, to call a cau cus of the Gaullist members of parliament, in order to ex plain why the reporter was wrong and Gen. de Gaulle was right. Clearly, therefore, the highest importance is attached to the "credibility" of the French nuclear deterrent, and not just to its credibility in Soviet eyes, but also in French and European eyes. BEYOND doubt, Gen. de Gaulle believes what he said at his press conference, and Messmcr believes what he told the Gaullist deputies. And since they are also ex ceedingly anxious for every one else to believe what they believe, one must asuinc a po litical motive. The political motive is not fur to stock, in turn, it you consider the character of Ihc Gaullist grand design for Eu rope. The exclusive Europe led by himself, which is Gen. de Gaulle's aim, can never be realized while the defense of Europe depends entirely on the American military pres ence. De Gaulle cannot be (irst while Kennedy is first in Europe's defense. Hence American military withdraw al from Europe is ultimately essential. But the danger of remov ing the American keystone of Europe's existing defense sys tem will at least be vastly re duced, if France has mean while acquired a nuclear force that is genuinely capable of "destroying in an instant mil lions upon millions of men." SUCH a nuclear force will will not have the smallest offensive value, when weighed against the infinitely stronger Soviet nuclear force. But ac cording to the delrrreni the ory of Gen. Pierre Gallois. ' who is Gen. de Gaulle's chief advisor in these mailers, the future French nuclear force will have another sort of val-! i tie of great importance. i Place in Gen. de Gaulle's ruthlessly courageous hands this instrument supposedly j capable of "destroying in an instant millions upon mil- lions" of Russians - capable, in fact, of wiping out must of , the major cities of fiu.-sia this I side of the Urals. What then would be the situation of the I i Kremlin? The French nuclear force j could of course be put out nf i action Willi great ease, by a' I pre-emptive Soviet nuclear ' I strike. But any Soviet nuclear strike, even acainst Fiance alone, would be almost cer jtain to trigger an American! ' nuclear strike. j 7p BY THE same token, how ever if the French nucle ar force were not put out of action, any other Soviet mili tary presure on Gaullist Eu, rope would trigger a French nuclear strike. The Soviets could not then move west wards without suffering the somber and terrible conse. quences outlined by Gen. de Uaulle. Such is the Gallois theory which de Gaulle quite cen taury believes. If he believes this theory, and if he also be lieves his own claims for the French deterrent, it can be seen that the de Gaulle de sign for Europe is far from being as lunatic as most Amer ican policy makers believe. For the existing American defense of Europe, one must asume that the French nucle ar fore is de Gaulle's planned substitute. It is to serve as Europe's protective umbrella, at any rate througout the per iod of maximum danger after American troops have been withdrawn, or have been pushed out of Europe, and be fore the Europeans, under Gen. de Gaulle's leadership, have improved their own de fenses by their own efforts. It is not lunatic for Gen. de Gaulle to believe that this is possible, at least as long as ne is tne man who wields the French deterrent. His assump tions, what he apparently be lieves is perfectly logical. The trouble is that the central as sumption is incorrect. As now planned, the French deterrent will be a paper umbrella at best, useless because obsolete. as will be shown in a further report. In the Day's News By FRANK From the San Francisco Chronicle; Under Secretary James K. Carr of the Department of the Interior is optimistic about the future of the govern ment's saline water program which, lie says, "is now ten years old and is beginning to show the results of just plain, intelligent hard work." The government has built three demonstration plants for desalting brackish or sea water, and has two more un der way. It lias seen the cost of production drop from S3 a thousand gallons, and it foresees the possibility of get ting it down to as little as 30 cents per thousand gallons in a large volume operation, probably using nuclear pow er. Reclamation authorities re gard the 30 cent figure as pretty optimistic. They cite the fact that in tinusuallv favorable conditions - ycar arotind climate, adjacent big city markets, etc. - it might be possible to pay as much as 40 cents per thousand gallons tS A POSSIBLE source of water in Southern Cali fornia - cither for municipal purposes or (or irrigation in the case of certain crops - it sounds interesting. But Up here in Southern Ore gon and Far Northern Cali fornia, we don't talk about GALLONS when we speak of irrigation water. We talk in terms of ACRE FEET. 'piIAT's another story There are 325.S)00 gallons in an acre font of water. At 40 cents per thousand gallons, that would be around SKH) per acre foot of water At even 3d cents per thousand gallons, it would still be just under MOO prr acre foot.

The UNITY AT THE BRINK There would be less puzzle ment about General de Gaulle, I believe, if we began by rccog n i z ing that the difference be t w e e n us is over the cold war. The gen eral writes down to a de gree which Pre s i d e n t Kennedy would not Lippmann dare to do the military and political threat of the Soviet Union. That is why the gen eral dares, as Mr. Macmillan said on Monday, "to bring the whole Western Alliance into great jeopardy." In the general's view, the balance of power has turned decisively against the Soviet Union, and, consequently, the Western Alliance is obsoles cent and of diminishing im portance. Once again, as is usual in human affairs, a wartime coalition begins to break up as peace begins to break out. qPHE general, it seems to me, A is acting today on what is likely to happen, but to hap pen only in the future. Surely It would be more prudent if in our dealings with Mr. Khrushchev, which are still very difficult and dangerous, the Western Alliance were being consolidated rather than disrupted. But the gen eral has, of course, heard this argument. He is unimpressed by it. However much we may think that western unity is paramount and imperative, he does not in fact believe that western unity is paramount and imperative. We shall not move him by crying out that the Western Alliance is in danger and that American troops may be withdrawn from Europe. We may be sure that Gen eral de Gaulle, who certainly is not wanting in foresight, has foreseen this possibility. I would suppose he has satis fied himself that what counts most in the Western Alliance, the American military com mitment in Europe, is bound to remain until Gaullist Europe is strong enough to deal on equal terms with the Soviet Union. He does not have to woo us. For we are already indissolubly married to Europe, and, until the West and the East arrive at an eventual peace, we can not dissolve this marriage. In the meantime, there is no need to reward us for doing what we have to do. . 'PHIS is the right context, I would say, in which to study the question of "how," as Life magazine puts it, "we shift our western nuclear JENKINS to have to depend on stream flow, plus storage for our sup plies of irrigation water.

Canada, U.S., Destined To Remain Close By ERIC SEVAREID Since the automatic re flexes of a self-conscious America are what ihcy are. it is part of the cur rent 4 c o n volitional wisdom to s s 11 m e that P r c s i d e r t Kennedy's dc c I a r e d pur pose of talk ing turkey to allies even ai sevareie ihc n.-k of un popularity has already conic a cropper with the adminis tration's famous statement scolding the Canadian govern- ' mrnt tor not making up its mind on the acceptance of nuclear warheads I ... I This is surely not so: nor ; can it be true that the defense , of tlie continent and hemi spheric "solidarity" arc en dangered, as the New York Times gravely warns us.

The inner core of our nu clear monopoly is the fact that only the President of the United States lias authority to use our nuclear weapons. Be cause our nuclear weapons are something like 98 per cent of the nuclear strength of the whole Western Alliance, no other nuclear power, neither Britain nor France, can in fact fire a nuclear weapon without the consent of the President of the United Stales. Neither General de Gaulle nor Prime Minister Macmil lan could conceivably use their nuclear weapons unless they knew for certain that they were covered by the United States against Soviet reprisals. e THIS is the American nu clear monopoly and to live under its protection is, says the general, "intolerable for a great state." How are we to arrive at a tolerable relation ship? For there will have to be a relationship between Eu ropean and American nuclear power - at least until that very distant day when Europe has a nuclear power of its own capable of coping with the Soviet Union. The crucial problem of the relationship turns on the ul timate command decision to use nuclear weapons. The more closely we examine this problem, the clearer it be comes, I submit, that at the final point of decision in war there must be unity of com mand. Coalitions cannot be con ducted by committees in time of war. in the whole process of preparing and planning, there is not only room but need for committees repre senting the members of the coalition. But when there is war, they must choose a Foch, an Eisenhower, a MacArthur, a Kennedy. rpHE further we get from the brink, the less do we have to think about unity of com mand (i.e., monopoly) and the more we can think of a com mittee of equals. For this reason, it is most unlikely that we shall find now a theoretical solution of the problem posed by our nuclear monopoly. The problem is most acute when war is not imminent. One can say that monopoly, or unity of command, may be in tolerable in peacetime. But it is indispensable in wartime. The great controversy today about the monopoly is due primarily to the relaxation of the tension of the cold war. The controversy would evap orate if we were on the brink of a great war.

Canada has it in her power to do something about all this; but she did not accept thc.-e chains at the point of a gun. She accepted them, one by one, because Ca nadians also like money and because they have not gener ated a contagious popular cul ture of their own.
