Haller Vlro-Prowdaut CMm Hnltexiaa BaeretaryTroa»urar Leaders At West Point Did you ever wonder what kind of a boy ia aehctad to attend Went Point Military Academy ? We all realize . that etandard* for *uch are very high. Each winter young men throughout the country look toward the future and chooae a career to enter. Several thousand chooae the military, but only about onethird of those who desire to enter West Point can enter the select school. Os the many who wanted to enter thia past school yw>r, 2,434 were nominated and examined. Only 1,130, leas than half, were qualified. Os these, only - 738 were admitted. While 78% of these young men came from public schools, the 22% that came from private schools is very high, compared to that of the average college or university. Os the 738, 45 were valedictorians, and 41 salutatorians. and 81% ranked in the upper 40% of their secondary school classes. Many were leaders during their high school years. There were 115 former class or student body presidents; 79 former school editors; 130 were team captains; 70 were debate team members; 127 had been Boy s State delegates; 231 were former club prsidents. The Boy Scouts were well represented, with 76 members having attained the grade of Eagle Scout. The scores which the class made on the college entrance exam board test phase indicated that they were well prepared academically*. If you, your son or grandson are now entering high school, look toward the future. Get the best education, with the most practical training in leadership, citizenship, speech, and physical development that you jiossibly can. Are our schools good enough to provide the kind of education you want for yourself, your son, or grandson? The Forand Bill - A measure of great interest to every American is now being discussed in Congress. It is called the Forand bill, after its sponsor, Rep. Aime Forand, a Democrat from Rhode Island. This bill will provide the following: 60 days of hospitalizations in a 12-month period for those eligible to receive social security benefits. 120 days of nursing home care (less the number of days of any hospitalization) for those eligible to receive social security benefits. Surgical services which are medically required for those eligible for social security benefits. Free choice of hospitals and nursing homes by the • patient. \ The federal government would exercise no control over the operation of hospitals or nursing homes, or over the selection of payment of personnel. This program would be paid for by increasing social security from your pay by one-quarter of one per cent, from the employer by the same, or by three-eighths of one per cent by the self-employed. The choice is up to you. Do you want this kind of protection for the senior citizens? Are you willing to cut your take-home pay.to do it? It will mean protection Tor your parents or yourself in later years, but you will, of course, be paying for it. Why not write to Sen. Vance Hartke and tell him your opinion on the bill? The lobbies have expressed theirs. ... •' v - x a VW tomato X \ # LEGALLY A VEGETABLEBAY \/ BY DSCIBiON OF \ THF UMSTED STATES supreme covet/ • \ '<■ .

( But he has made it clear that he would ••exploit" any space aettvity the Defense Depart oloo * ’ thought would contribute to de-! sense. BMD and its technical advisers of the Space Technology Laboratories'STL> at Inglewood believe that warning and photo reconnaissancc might provide the United States’ in the future with al margin of superiority in deterring ft Soviet attack. Although it is little known, the Air Forces Discoverer satellite series is a research and development project leading directly tO( Midas and Samos. The space ve-, hide in the Discoverer series, the 1 top stage of the rocket called | Agena. is the only space being produced in this country on ( an assembly line basis. In a recent visit to BMD m | search of facts about the current defense and space controversies, this reporter obtained from A. F. Donovan, STL vice president and director of advanced systems planning, the reasoning behind the military satellite effort. The Monopoly Ends He noted that the U.S. monopoly on deterrent power ended in 1954 and that by 1958 the Soviet Union was claiming to have its own strategic force. ... Donovan pointed out that ballistic missiles give an aggressor manv advantages. For example: —They can be launched in salvo, and defense against them is not yet practicble. —They do not have to be in safe underground sites or mottle, because they will not be attacked They will be fired first. Donovan said the United States needs “overwhelming su P erl ?rt*y in a new deterrent approach, both revolutionary weapons systems and military space applications. Space vehicles, he said, could counter the information-gathering or intelligence-gathering advantage a Communist country has over a democracy and also c° "eliminate the surprise attack adV3 Donovan said optimistically that many of the obstacles to military use of space can be o ve . r . c B ° h m tX e listed the obstacles as high costs, difficulty of returning from orbit, present inability to maneuver in space and short life of space payloads. Could Detect Missiles Maj. Gen. O. J. Ritland, BMD commander, said the Midas (missile defense alarm system) could double the warning time ava^?’ 1 ® from Arctic radars now being built. Using infra red sensing devices, Midas satellites in po!ar. orbits several hundred miles high could detect an enemy o u ss ‘ l ® the moment of touching by spotting the missile's heat trail. The Samos satellite, he said, would be a global surveillance system, wiping out Russia s intel-ligence-gathering advantage. Pointing out that Amepcan ballistic missiles were developed and made operational in five short years bY simultaneous research, production, base construction and crew training, Ritland sald - “This same concept of concurrency and the priorities and funds that go with it, should now, be applied to the expeditious develojSnent of uur military space ® y ß?stoes the Midas and Samos BMD is studying the P os^‘ bl . t ’ “ ses . of moon observatories and inter planetary systems" under projects respectively called SK-liw and SR-182. _ Goes One Better At Sacramento. Calif., an official of Aerojet-General Corp, who formerly served ih the Pentagons space technology program, went ♦he BMD one better. f D A Young. Aerojet s long-, range planning director, said there should be an urgent effort to develop armed satellites. He said it was technically possible for the Soviet Union to have such weapons in the “next few y ear ®> and the United States had better n said such satellites ia viet hands, armed- -withmechanisms," could in time counter the US.
