Test to be Best
THE HIGHEST goal which the
free people of the world seek to
achieve is a world completely de
void of conflict, a world where
man lives in freedom and at peace
with his fellow man. Realizing
this to be a principal aim of ours
and also taking cognizance of the
naivete and idealism of many of
our national leaders, the commu
nists began a psychological cam
paign soon after World War II to
“ban the bomb”—the nuclear
bomb—for humanitarian reasons.
This even became a campaign is
sue in the 1956 elect'on, and the
people rejected the “ban the
bomb” candidate by a wide mar
gin. Despite this, however, Pres
ident Eisenhower announced on
October 31, 1958, that the United
States would unilaterally suspend
nuclear testing, hoping that by
doing so the communists would be
forced to follow suit ard that a
test ban agreement could be
worked out with them. Approxi
mately 35 months later we have
come to a realization of the many
fallacies behind the reasoning
which led to the voluntary test
ban. We should have been aware
of the fact that the communists
honor any agreement more in the
breach than in the observance.
We once again made the mistake
of judging the communists by our
own standards, failing to take into
consideration their past record of
duplicity and deceit.
THE UNITED STATES also
made the mistake of placing em
phasis on test
bans and dis-
armament
generally as
the first step
toward world
peace. Pros
pects for dis
armament are
no better than
and no worse
than—but, in
deed, are identical to—the pros
pects for peaceful resolution of
the controversies among nations.
So long as any nation harbors
ambitions of aggrandizement at
the expense of other nations, hope
is futile for the development of
the international good-will which
is a prerequisite for cessation of
the arms race.
THE COMMUNISTS have suc
ceeded in frustrating and under
mining our every attempt to
establish an effective internation- i
al inspection and control system.
Indeed, the negotiations were
foredoomed to failure, because the
communists want no part of
such a system. Their outrageous
demands increased proportion
ately with our concessions, mak
ing a final solution impossible.
ALL THE CREDIBLE evidence
advanced by experts the world
over can lead only to the conclu
sion that the communists have
never suspended tests, but have
been engaged in conducting se
cret nuclear tests in regions
where detection is virtually im
possible. Indeed reports of the
Atomic Energy Commission and
former AEC members leave this
clear implication.
WHEN WE voluntarily discon
tinued testing in 1958, we were
clearly further advanced in nu
clear technology than the com
munists. At the present time it
is difficult to correctly evaluate
our strength as compared with
that of the communists, but by
no stretch of the imagination can
it be assumed that anyone other
than the communists has bene
fited from our self-imposed test
ban.
THE PRESIDENT’S decision
to resume underground testing in
the wake of the communist tests
was, to say the least, “steps which
reasonable men find prudent.” I
warned against banning the bomb
tests in 1958 and have repeatedly
urged the immediate resumption
of testing—at least underground
and in outer space where there
can surely be no question of the
questionable fear of fallout
* WHILE WE have been shack
ling ourselves, the communists
have progressed to such a stage
of development that they now
have no qualms about forcing us
into testing. The free world looks
to the United States for protec
tion and support in this time of
crisis, and a superior stockpile of
nuclear weapons is the only sure
deterrent to war. It is imperative
that we take all possible steps to
insure our superiority, even if
this means atmospheric tests, in
order to preserve individual lib
erty on this globe. To fall short
in this objective would result, not
in prevention of war, but rather
in an invitation to war—as have
previous appeasement policies
throughout the years.
Sincerely,
I

Snapshots: Along Main Street, U.S.A.
Man. U.3.A.— . n«.re js it? Everywhere in these United
States. Every town h-is one. It may not be called Main Street. Per
haps it’s Broadway, High Street, Canal Street, or what have you. But,
it’s the “main drag,” the principal thoroughfare, the busiest street
in town. Along Main Street, there’s everything . . . The smell of pop
corn in the lobby of a theater, the sound of clicking typewriters through
an open window; store fronts that display an endless variety of fur
niture, clothes, jewelry, candy, cigars, and on and on. Main Street,
U.S.A., wherever it may be, is humanity on the move—cars, trucks
busses, buyers and sellers, clerks and office workers, pedestrians,
window shoppers, and just plain people-watchers. The street above
is Main Street, Akronu Ohio.
THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA
WASHINGTON AND
"SMALL BUSINESS"
By C. WILSON HARDER
I There, are rumors of a new
Federal agency being set up
along the Potomac. It would
be called the TDFACWMLTC.
* * *
This new agency would be an
adjunct of the one already set
up to administer the foreign
give-aways. The full name will
be “Taxpay
ers Dough
For Ameri
can Citizens
Who May
Lean Toward
C o m m u n-
ism.”
# * *
The pro
posed plan is
that any Am
erican ?iti- c. W. Harder
zen can go to TDFACWMLTC
section of the foreign give
away and simply state that
“while I am a great believer
in democracy, unless I get
$10,000 I may have to become
a communist.” In due time, the
citizen would get the $10,000, to
keep a believer in democracy
from turning to communism.
* * *
This proposal, of course, is
not receiving serious considera
tion but many think it no more
far fetched than the device
whereby nations all over the
world have separated the
American taxpayer from more
than $80 billion.
* * *
As Rep. Richard Roudebush,
World War veteran with six
battle stars says “Then came
communist infiltration of South
America. Our answer was $600
million more in aid with the
thought expressed ‘Maybe if
we pay off, they will go away.’
Sen. Wayne Morse says ‘Much
of our trouble in Latin America
stems from military aid we
gave to many of its ci tors.”
* * *
And Congressman Richard
Poff of Virginia, recently let
loose quite a strong blast on
(c! National Federation of Independent Business
the foreign give aways which
are taking via taxes, money
from independent business
needed to modernize and ex
pand to meet in competition.
* • *
Rep. Poff says that the U.S.
has given Communist Tito’s
Yugoslavia over $2 billion in
cluding such items as $14 mil
lion for locomotives, $10 mil
lion for a plastics factory, $127
million for other “industrial
projects” and, surprise of sur
prises, funds to build a nuclqar
research reactor.
* » *
Now in this case, it was
known that Tito is a commun
ist. But it was felt by buttering
him up, he would keep Yugo
slavia a little less communist
than Moscow.
* « «
So what support has Tito giv
en for more than $2 billion ac
cording to Rep Poff.
* * *
On the Cuban question Tito
supported Castro, is trading
with him, openly rebuked the
U.S. Stand. Tito openly advo
cates seating Red China in the
UN, when Lumumba was slain
on the Congo organized dem
onstrations against the west,
allows Soviet engineers to op
erate the Iron Curtain’s big
gest uranium mines, is now
permitting Russia to build 10
missile bases in Yugoslavia.
♦ * *
And despite this record, even
now there is a drive on in
Washington to get even more
give away billions of dollars
for Tito’ to preserve this
“friendship.”
* * *
Thus, the facetious proposal
to give money to decent Amer
ican citizens to keep them from
being friendly with Moscow is
not so far-fetched, perhaps after
all. If a fellow like Tito can
blackmail Washington, why
shouldn’t the home folks have
the same opportunity?
From The CatskiU Mountain
Star, Saugerties, N.Y.: It is diffi
cult for a newspaper to “let down
its hair” and talk shop with its
readers. Perhaps this is because
the newspapers, to a greater de
gree than any other business,
feels the obligation to serve the
public interest. But sooner or
later, occasions arise when it is
necessary to do so.
Many organizations sponsor af
fairs which depend largely on
publicity for their success, affairs
at which admission charges are
made and profits realized. True,
most of these are for the public
benefit in one way or another.
And it frequently never occurs to
these sponsors that in asking for
free publicity without placing an
advertisement, they are not play
ing fair with the newspaper.
Let us remember that three-
fourths of a newspaper’s income
is from advertising. If the paper
did not have this advertising, it
simply could not stay in business.
Therefore, when anyone asks
for fret; publicity but feels no ob
ligation to place an advertise
ment, he is doing all he can to
limit the paper’s ability to serve
its community.
The local newspaper is the mir
ror of the town. It can reflect the
town image only so far as the
town gives it the financial sup
port to enable it to be strong
enough to be a good newspaper.
Sometimes we are asked why
we do not “run a bigger paper.”
There is a simple but elementary
answer. It is this: a newspaper
can be no better or larger than
its advertising income enables it
to be.
Everyone should understand
that “newspaper support of a
town” is a two-way street. Both
the businessmen and the residents
of the town must also support the
newspaper with advertising and
subscriptions.

WHAT PARENTS AT 65
ERE is a guide, not suitable
to everybody and certainly
aot a model for all circumstances,
but one that perhaps will be help
ful in smoothing a wrinkle or two
from some 60-year-old brows:
1. Couples of retirement age
usually have grandchildren of
baby sitting age. The grandpar
ents are seldom appreciated if
they become a babysitter service
in order for their married son or
daughter to have evenings out.
2. Most retired parents 65 or
over cannot bear up well under
children 12 years old or younger
for more than two hours at any
one time. Perhaps the toughest
of all hardships older people suf
fer is the caring for, or associa
tion with, small children who
grate on their nerves. Most of
them think it is their obligation to
put up with this hardship so they
do it.
3. Retired parents are obligated
not to live in the household of
their married children if there is
any possible way to avoid it. They
are seldom happy themselves
when they do this, which is beside
the point in this discussion. But
their marrie-d children can never
live the free, uninhibited private
life they need when the old folks
are around.
4. Retired parents are obligated
to maintain a standard of life that
is not embarrassing to their as
piring and struggling children—
or else stay out of sight. Many
younger married couples have
had their business and social suc
cess impaired by older parents
who are too unsophisticated, too
badly dressed and too lacking in
OWE THEIR CHILDREN
manners to fit into the better lives
their children are trying to build.
5. Retired parents, it seems to
me—and I am frequently criti
cized for this view—are not obli
gated to give all or any of their
money to their married children.
There are laws in the various
states which require that money
left by those who die must go to
their children. There is no law
which says that money of people
who are not yet dead must go to
their children.
People who reach retirement
age have achieved a great tri
umph in living so long. If they
have lived so long and accumu
lated some money too, it is an
even greater triumph. This money
can buy many pleasures for peo
ple who have won the race—such
pleasures as travel, buying treas
ures or even betting on horse
races. I vote for the retired peo
ple spending their money in this
way.
6. Retired parents have an obli
gation to offer their children the
benefits of the wisdom they have
acquired in 65 years of living if
the children want it, and the obli
gation to keep their mouths shut
and walk away if the children
don’t.
7. Retired parents in the main
have the obligation to feel no obli
gation anywhere except to them
selves and to their fellow men in
general. Their children were given
life and the best upbringing the
parents were capable of giving.

AMERICANA Things To See
Southern Oregon
Water skiing in the shadow of Mt. McLoughlin is a favorite sum
mer and fall sport at Lake of the Woods, just northwest of Klamath
Falls, Oregon. Swimmers, sunbathers, fishermen and vacationers
seeking restful resort life flock to the scenic Lake of the Woods area
each year.
The roaring Rogue River, made
famous in song and story, helps
to bind together one of Oregon’s
most scenic recreation areas.
This is the huge six-county area
of southern Oregon, which con
tains not only the trout-famous
Rogue, but Crater Lake, the Ore
gon Caves, Diamond Lake, the
sea-coast resorts ;>f Brookings and
Bandon and numerous salmon-
fishing ports.
Only Klamath county misses
being linked by the Rogue, but it
is as much a part of southern Ore
gon as any of the other counties.
In the northern part of Klamath
county is nationally-known Crater
Lake,, the deep blue gem at the
southern end of the Cascade
mountain range.
Klamath county, too, can lay
claim to Upper Klamath Lake,
Oregon’s largest inland body of
water, and Lake of the Woods, an
important forest recreation area.
Douglas county’s eastern tip
gives the Rogue its start as it
winds its way to the Pacific ocean.
Near the source of the Rogue is
Diamond Lake, apparently des
tined to become one of the finest
fishing lakes in the United States.
Kamloops rainbow trout, which
have contributed the largest trout
ever caught on boux and line,
were planted here a few years ago
and already have reached lengths
of more than 20 inches.
At Coos county’s western end is
Bandon, a Pacific ocean resort
offering solitude as one of its ma
jor attractions. Bandon as well is
noted for its fine sandy beaches
and fishing but for a “get away
from it all” vacation Bandon
measures up in any tourist’s book.
In the wonderful world of Jack-
son county the visitor will find
many pleasurable recreation ac
tivities, tantalizing side trips and
the Oregon Shakespearean Fes
tival at Ashland, where plays of
the famous English Bard are pre
sented each year from August 1
to 31.
Jackson county also contains
the historic town of Jacksonville,
where there are relics and me
mentos of gold rush days and early
Indian wars. In the north part
of the county a variety of fishing
will greet the visitor. Salmon,
steelhe: d and trout all run in this
renowned white-water stream.
WORK OF CAT . . . Topsy, no copycat, examines her sketch of a
horse and rider. Owner is artist Dr. George Cooper, Hertford,
England, who says the cat created the picture by hitting at a
crayon on a piece of string.
STAR BUILDING . . . The design for the St. Louis, Mo., Plane
tarium has been awarded top honors by a national architectural
magazine. Building will be completed by the end of this year.

WESTERN SPLENDOR—All that is Las Vegas does not glitter.
Despite the fact that the city is famed for the glamour of resort
hotels and lavish entertainment. Las Vegas boasts a variety of at
tractions that appeal to visitors of all ages. Surrounding the area is
desert scenery at its best, as well as romantic trails that appeal to
'.ntdoorsmen. The scene above is near Twin Lakes Lodge, one of
->->l dude ranches where horses are available to visitors.
Snapshots: The Sea Of Grass
Blue skies and white clouds over a “sea of grass," this is the rim
of Florida’s vast and sprawling Everglades. Hie view above shows
cabbage of sable palm islands. In other sections, the ’Glades are
forests of cypress, refuge for huge flights of colorful native birds, an
endless variety of wild life, rare wild flowers and home of Florida’s
Seminole Indians. Here too is Everglades National Park, some
1,228,488 subtropical acres where wildlife and vegetation is carefully
protected.
