the reality df tomorrow. .' , > Cocke sounded the warning in a talk before the Legion's National Executive Committee meeting In annual session here. Cocke has just returned from a tour of Soviet Russia. “Whoever gets to the moon first will rule the world,” he said.' Cocke said it is a “frightening prospect” to think of “Jovian atomic thunderbolts hurled at the earth from a military base on the moon. If the Communists get there first, they will use the threat of such an attack to force the surrender of every nation on this

Cocke said military occupation of the moon is "Just as feasible scientifically and technologically as the launching of satellite bases in outer space ” "To win this most titanic contest in human history, the people of America will have to mobilize all their human and physical resources and accept sacrifices which we cannot as yet measure,” he said.; Cocke said he learned in Russia that “America lost a war that he didn’t know we had even fought.” “Every Russian that went into

Hungary a year ago was told and expected to meet the American Army outside of Budapest,” he said. "When the American Army failed to materialize, the Reds took great credit for winning a war even to the point of passing out medals.” Earlier, the National Executive Committee adopted a report criticizing the Eisenhower administration for cutting defense budgets. The report said the program “should be planned on the basis of survival as a free nation and not on the expediencies of the

moment” and said “certain segments of the government (have a tendency > to place greater importance on political considerations rather than on the need for adequate security.” The report went on to» “deplore the apparent lack of information provided by security agencies” in the Suez Canal and Egyptian incidents. It urged adoption of compulsory universal military training and the granting of federal funds to enable students to study science and take part in research. The report also called for recog-

nition of the value of civil defense and “immediate restoration of funds cut from the reserve forces program.” Another resolutidK adopted by the committee decreed that the Legion’s Distinguished Service Medal be awarded posthumously to the unknown soldier of World War I, World War II and the Korean conflict.
