It means that the nation's defenses are alert and ready to meet any threat that might be launched against us by an aggressor. It means that an active crew of Americans is back on the job in the Klamath Basin to provide round-the-clock protection for all of us. The sound of the jets rolling overhead has been called the "Sound of Freedom." It is also, in our minds, the "Sound of Safety," the sound of a vigilant force ever ready. There is no need to tell these men of the necessity for constant vigilance since this is their daily watchword. The need for increased vigilance is for Common Market And Commonwealth (The Christian Scitnca Monitor) Two developments now focus world at tention on the possibility of Britain's joining the European Common Market. One was the meeting in London recently of parliamentary leaders from the Commonwealth of Nations. The other is the current setting up of corn committees, "working parties" and so forth, which will study the problems of completing a British tie to the European Economic Com munity or EEC, as the Common Market is officially called. Meanwhile American pressures for a trans-Channel economic union continue, as may be noted in Senator Fullbright's speech last week before the Commonwealth Parlia mentary Association, urging members of that body to make it as easy as possible for Britain to move forward toward Common Market membership. Perhaps the most striking thing about this speech so far as Britons and Common wealth leaders are concerned is that it reflects an advance in American awareness of Com mon Market problems, There was a time when American pressures seemed to be exert ed directly on Britain to join the EEC, and British protestations about Commonwealth in terests were often treated by American ob servers as mere excuses for hesitating. The depth of Commonwealth opposition to Britain's loosening its overseas ties in order to tighten those with Europe has not even yet been fully disclosed. But the meeting of Com monwealth finance ministers early in Septem ber is now known to have been a bitter affair, with virtually the whole conference opposing British moves toward the Common Market ft No city in America looks as bad, and smells as bad, as New ark, New Jersey. It sits astride live railroads and a halt dozen main highways only eight miles west of New York. On the New Jersey Turnpike, many drivers roll the car windows up when they smell Newark around the bend. This city, only a handful of years ago, was one of the most progressive In the East. It is the home of 10 largo Insurance and casualty companies, Including Pru dential. Newark Airport Is one of the busiest in America. It Is a paint and varnish center, has big breweries, bakery plants, chemi cal works and meat packing. In the decade after the turn of the century, the population of Newark Jumped 41 per cent. In the last decade, It dropped from 438,000 people to 405,000 and Is still falling. Why? Newark has fine colleges, good hotels, a li brary with an annual circulation of almost 3,000,000 books, 300 'churches, a museum, two daily newspapers, and a cultural his 'lory which goes back to 1660, when the city was founded by Capt Robert Treat and 30 Puri tans. What happened to Newark is worth time and study by any mu nicipal planning committee. As a complex of industries, it is thriv ing. Its dollar volume Is high. So is the decay. In the 1920's, the intersection of Broad and Market Streets car ried more traffic each day than Times Square, New York. Today, at Broad and Market Streets, one can barely see the sun at high Welcome Home the rest of us, not these men who know the dangers and are trained to meet them. It is for us to gird ourselves against the dangers of complacency and irresponsibility that can destroy a nation from within. . While these men make certain the nation is strongly alert to any threat from an alien enemy, we should be equally alert that the nation is strongly alert to attacks from the enemy within. As the F-lOTs move back into operation at Kingsley Field, we bid them welcome with open hearts. The community welcomes them back to the many places they occupy in its, midst, not just as airmen, but as civic workers, as fathers and husbands, as Americans at work on the essential job of keeping our defenses strong. Welcome back' we missed you. because Commonwealth delegates could not see how EEC leaders could make sufficient concessions to cover Commonwealth needs. For example, under Common Market rules Britain's heretofore tariff-free market for cer tain Commonwealth products would have a wall around it. Indian officials are reported as saying that their losses in British markets would be so great as to endanger India's plans for economic development. Australia, New Zealand, Canada, as well as newer nations like Ghana, also see themselves likely to be penalized by Britain's search for new markets in Europe. At this point they are hardly more like ly to take the "long view" that Senator Ful bright urges upon them than Washington is to help unify Britain with Europe by commit ting the United States to a transatlantic cus toms union. British leaders have made clear in the last few days and they must keep it clear that if a choice between Commonwealth and Com-:- mon Market has to be made Britain will chobse the Commonwealth. This states the prospect at its darkest however. The negotiations will be long-drawn-out, product-by-product affairs in which each interest will be balanced against . all the rest, including those of Commonwealth and other European nations which joined with Britain in the Free Trade Association partly as a prelude to Common Market ne? gotiations. In naming the year 1964 as a likely date for British entry into the Common Market the negotiators have indicated the size of the job they are undertaking. JIM BISHOP: REPORTER . . . Constant Care To Keep Cities noon. The neon signs of the shops appear to be extra bright because the city is covered with sool. Once, there were beautiful homes on High Street and around Weo quahic Park and up in the Rose ville section.' Today, some are boarded up, some are rooming houses, many of them need something to cover the cracked paint on sagging porches. The Ironbound section was always the poorest. It also had the liveliest crime rate. It squats, peeling in its own stench, beside the Passaic River. The dumps on the east side are exposed. It is unfortunate that the only glimpse millions of transients get of Newark are the dumps, tlie rats, and the concomitant as sault on the nose and the eyes. It makes no friends for the city, and any municipality which delib erately exposes its worst side lo . visitors Is remiss in the field of public relations, as well as in cleanliness. Once, the area around Newark Bay hod many picnic grounds and boating facilities. The water be came unsafe for bathing in the 1920's and has become worse. This is also true of all the inner har bor waters in the New York area. All the old picnic grounds and the old German scheutiens are gone. Other cities in the area share Responsibility for making the tidal waters of New York disease lad en and dangerous. To draw atten tion away from Newark for a moment, consid the rase of New York City which fylans a big world fair in 1964. One of the - newspapers chose time like this O Required Cleaned to publicize its kill-a-rat cam paign. Some of the friendliest rats are to be found in city hall. These are the proponents of status quo; the gentlemen who are afraid that any movement toward clean ing up the city is bound to set up an opposite motion from plant owners and industrialists and will reflect itself in campaign solicita tions and votes. In Newark, the county court house is Imposing. It should be. It was designed by Cass Gilbert. In front of it is a bronze statue of Abraham Lincoln, seated. This was executed by Gutzon Borglum and is, next to the heroic statue in the Lincoln Memorial at Wash ington, the finest in the land. It is impossible to study this statue without being touched by the eter nal sorrow of the 16th president. I stood around the courthouse, looking down Market Street and chatting with some old timers. Newaik, at one time, was a fine residential area. I asked what had happened to the rich families. Almost all of them have moved out to the Oranges, to Montclair, to Short Hills. The question was asked of one old hanger-on from the Brieden bach administration of the late 1920's. "What's the matter?" he said. "You been asleep like Rip Van Winkle?" Maybe I was. I said. Still, municipal cleanliness is not a matter of one era or an other. It's a timeless compulsion, like personal cleanliness. Newark. N.J., was once a beautiful city.

Yet it is necessary to consider not only the eloquence and its motivation, but also the sub stance. Is it true that if the U.N. goes, we condemn the future? That the U.N. is the only true al ternative to war? - We think these asserti. .is do not reflect the real trouble in the world, and so it is a question whether it is useful to make them. The U.N. has many functions ond activities, and it can be argued that in some local-war situations it has helped create or preserve peace. But the U.N. has never been able to deal with the funda mental threat to peace, namely the aggressive aims and acts of the' international Communist con spiracy against mankind. It could not, because the Communists are part of the U.N. and the unwork able concept of cooperation with the Communists is built into its structure. This is exactly what threatens to wreck the U.N. as well as other things. So if it is unrealistic to expect the U.N. to change the Commu nist goals, it seems equally unre alistic to argue that the collapse of the U.N. would automatically plunge the world into war. It would be a shock to many peo ple in the world, of course, but it would not of itself make the Com munists more aggressive than they already are (you can't make a totality any more total) or pro vide them with any new oppor tunities for their aggression. The world would not "degenerate" into power politics because, regardless of the U.N., it has never stopped being a world of power politics. And if that is so, it also seems a little dreamlike to try to give the U.N. a new lease on life by making it the forum for a new American plan for "general and complete disarmament under ef fective international control," as the' President did. Here again, the purpose is understandable not to let the Soviets get away with their self-invented image as the only champions of disarmament and, on the positive side, to make 31 Agitate 34 Bridge triumph 35 Los , home of the Angela 37 Mohammedan 38 Point a weapon 40 Hand truck 41 Prophet 42 Peel 43 Melody 44 Track meet event, race 45 Memorandum 4S Horse's gsit 47 Oriental coins 49 Among I Answer to Previous Punle j R B TIE MEI E5CEWiS clear to the world that we are still pursuing that goal ourselves. But, as a practical matter, what hope is there in this? The President himself, in listing all the truly prodigious American ef forts to reach a safe disarmament agreement with the Soviets from 1945 right on, admits how little hope there is. The Soviets have never agreed to anything on dis armament, and today they are more intransigent than ever and more inclined to use their pow erful weapons in the attempt to browbeat the world into surrender without war. It is therefore hard to see how making the U.N. the instrument for "complete disarmament" is either going to bring about disarm ament or save the U.N. In fact, as a matter of idle speculation, it is interesting to think about the situation if the U.N. actually could be greatly strengthened by virtue of being the enforcer of world disarmament. We believe the American people should be more leery of such a prospect than the President was yesterday when he said "it would not usher in the era of the super-state." A U.N. with such enormous power could only be a super-state. This is not the immediate ques tion, though; it is instead the fu ture of the U.N., and more im portantly the future of U.S. policy regarding the U.N. If the U.N. is becoming, as it increasingly is, an organization working against U.S. interests, then the U.S. must reappraise the situation. We are not here criticizing Mr. Kennedy for saying hopeful things about the U.N. But we hope that at the same time the U.S. Govern ment is considering the possibility of alternatives to the U.N. One alternative would be trying to strengthen and broaden the "con cert of free nations," as Senator Fulbright is advocating. That at least builds on the truth about the world, which is that there is no such thing as a unity of na tions but the direct opposite a Communist block dedicated to the subjection of the free nations. Whether we like it or not, we are going to have to think about alternatives. And it does no good at all to start from a despairing assumption that the U.N. is the only alternative to total war.

WASHINGTON (NEA The American Communist party has sent its leaders throughout the United" States a secret "National Plan of Work" for the "final pe riod" of 1961. The plan is based on "political estimates" made by Gus Hall, the party's strong man. It was adopt ed by the American Communist party's national executive commit tee. The plan calls for concentrating the Red efforts in five key states. "We designate (or concentration Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, Il linois and California," the plan says. "We shall select Harlem in New York and the South Side in Chicago for major concentration. A separate plan should be pre pared for the South." Communist - district leaders throughout the United States hava been told to pinpoint key target areas in their districts. They are told that these key targets are to be "the main industries" and the "Negro communities" in their dis tricts. In these target areas, the Com munist henchmen are told, they are to give their first attention to "reaching Negro workers and youth" and told to "single out the reaching of women." "We must," says the p 1 a n, (make) "our party the party of the workers, the party of the Ne gro people." Key objective of the National Plan of Work for late 1961 is the developing of united fronts with "left wing" and "progressive THE DOCTOR Dud Pills For Real By HAROLD T. HYMAN, M.D. Written for Newspaper Enterprise Assn. Suppose I reported to you that, after giving a new tranquilizer to a group of 60 hospitalized pa tients for six weeks, I received the following evaluations: Ten patients said they felt less tense and more relaxed. Four ex perienced a feeling of unusual well-being. One each attested to improved sleep, better insight, in creased resistance to fatigue and a lessening of a psoriasis rash. Nurses in charge of these pa tients independently noted that 13 were more sociable. Seven showed improved spirits. Six were more relaxed. Three each appeared more co-operative or slept better. The psychiatrists in charge, also independently, found nine more comfortable and less anxious, sev en less moody, six more energetic and sociable, two sleeping better and one with an improvement of his rash. Suppose I then reported to you that, after giving a new pepper upper to another group of 60 pa tients, I received these evalua tions: Six patients said they felt more relaxed and less tense. Three ex perienced well-being and cheerful ness. Two were more energetic One each attested to better appe tite and improved digestion. The nurses in charge of these patients independently noted that 14 were more sociable. Three seemed less depressed. Two were more energetic. Another pair was more alert. One man slept better and another had a better appetite. And the psychiatrists in charge, also independently, found six of their patients more cheerful and less depressed. Another group of six was more sociable and com municative. Three appeared more interested in their surroundings. Another trio was more active and showed more initiative. Two more less tense. Another pair was less worrisome. And one each slept better, ate b e 1 1 e r or gained weight. The reason I thought these re ports might interest you rests in the fact that they are the results of a study made at the West chester Division of the New York Hospital after the first group was given an orange tablet that con tained only milk sugar and enough quinine to give a bitter taste. And the second, a yellow tablet of milk sugar and a lime salt to give a bland taste! Thus, in each instance, the pa tient received a dud pill without his knowledge or the knowledge of the attending staff. With the ex ception of those who conducted the experiment, no one knew that the new "tranquilizer" and the new "energizer" were blanks. Here's how the true investiga tors summarized the experience: "The tendency to ascribe improve ment to what were considered to be active drugs illustrated the du bious value of studies which do not employ fyntrolled procedures double-blind tests in which neither patients nor doctors know what is being given." But what a gold mine for those forces" in the "labor, youth and Negro people's movements." Mastery of the theory and prac tice of the united front policy is a key task before the whole party before every organization, every member," says the plan. Communists are to give "utmost attention" toward building these united fronts and "creating closest ties between Cpmmunists and non Communists on all levels." Communist district leaders are told that they are to see that "ev ery" Communist unit and "every comrade", in their district must discover or case those issues "which are of concern" to the labor unions, the mass organiza tions and other community groups in their 'neighborhoods. They are to use those issues as a means of developing these "united fronts." The plan goes into detail on the organization of Communist clubs: They shall meet twice monthly. They shall have three-manor-more executive committees. Youth membership is to be in creased 50 per cent. Young people are to be made officers in senior clubs. The plan requires a step-up in ideological education. "The World Marxist Review" and "Public Af fairs and Foundations of Marxism Leninism" will be used as texts. "The Organization Buro shall be responsible for regular check up of the plan and report to the National Board." Reports are, however, that the Supreme Court's decision that Communists must register has put a severe crimp in the Communist party's program for carrying out this "National Plan of Work."
