Urgent Policy d Preparedness

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.—From the Béring sea to the Paris conference,
from the Western Pacific to where
over Sweden, Denmark and Greece, there's a brand new ghost guiding
mystery rockets have been zooming
the moves of statesmen and military strategists.
The ghost is radar, new robot secretary of state, war and navy for
every rocket-threatened nation in the world.
Radar is the electronic. device which governs the aiming, detection and interception of many of the old weapons and such new ones as longrange rockets and guided missiles. That means also the kind of rockets which are keeping the Baltic nations worried and which will keep a lot of other nations worried if they travel any farther, Radar has taken its place only in the last few weeks as an all-power-ful influence in military and foreign policies. :
Authority of Radar Local The reason is simple. Only re-
cently have emergency preparations
for rocket-defense and imminent warfare taken precedence over the questions of how to wrap up the last
war in peace treaties and get the United Nations organized for long-
ge ‘security. hus only in the last few weeks] nas radar’s chief limitation become
a dominant factor in military and | foreign policies. This limitation is| the inability of radar rays-to bend! around the horizon. The authority of radar is as local | as a county sheriff's. From a radar-
floating laboratory of modern radar equipment. Thus we seem to have taken the hint. We probably are behind no other nation in thé excellence of our electronic equipment. Nevertheless, we were way behind the Germans In the development of long-range rockets, and now we may be behind the Russians. Radar sets the sights for naval gunfire. It providesswarning and interceptive action against planes, guided missiles and rockets. It aims and controls rockets, and the new anti-missile flak which the army has brought close to a state:of effectiveness. - It assists, with television, in the aiming ‘of our own missiles and rockets. It enables bombardiers to hit targets they can't see in their {bombsights. It enables craft gunners to smash iplanes or missiles they. can't see {from the ground. Calls for Wide Deployment | But there are two good reasons why home-based radar instruments are not adequate for our defense. One is their short range on a spher-
instrument on a high mountain, 200 | ical earth. The other is that only
miles is about the top operational | distance for reaching around the |

Radar rays will travel to the moon and back, when the moon is above the horizon. But they won't operate through land or water and they
won't curve around the earth's sur-|
face except during freak conditions. Quick Shifts in Plans Prodded by the appearance of | rockets, the need for projecting | radar screens recently has been indicated by several events. : The Swedes announced the British were rushing radar instruments
to Sweden. Jimmy Doolittle, former commander of the 8th air force, flew to Stockholm in August as an oil company executive, but he said he would help Sweden in her radar-rocket problems.

It is known, howeves, that there | has been -a Soviet-sponsored Slav conspiracy to seize Salonika; that!

at speeds in excess of 2800 feet a second, present too great a problem —and too late. As a security policy for the United States, radar calls for bases, air{fields and naval deployment over more than half of the earth's surface north of the equator. It calls for the inclusion of Bermuda. Iceland, Greenland, the Azores, Alazka, the Aleutians; Okinawa, the Mariahas, the Marshalls, the Carolinas, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Mexico and islands in the Arctic and Caribbean. It also calls—in times of alert—for outlying carriers in_parts of the oceans where there are ho islands.

His ideas had been ignored by his own government but they were adopted by the] Germans and used to help defeat France in 1940. Bidault was a little-known teachat a Paris high school. He bled in brass as a liberal, antiappeasement editorial writer for the newspaper Journal L'Aube. Indicative of his obscurity is the fact that in 1940, when he was mobilized into the army, it was only as a sergeant, although he had served in world war I and was 41 years old. Bidault was taken prisoner in the| last days of 1940, about the same] time as De Gaulle was escaping to| England. Released in July, 1941, he | went to southgrn France and joined the underground resistance movement. : It was the war which brought Bidault and De Gaulle to the common career of fighting to preserve and help liberate the France they both loved passionately. Bidault; who became president of ‘the national council of resistance, kept the torch aglow from" within the country. De Gaulle, as leader of the Free French government-in-exile, kept the flamz going from without until he could return with the allied armies,

“[UN MAY DODGE DANUBE ISSUE
Avoid ‘Action.
By ROBERT J. MANNING United Press Staff Correspondent
LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y., Oct. 1.— The United Nations’ economic and social council was expected today to avoid a major decision in the explosive question of shipping on the Danube river and leave the
United States and Russia to settle the problem through private diplomatic channels. : Faced with the necessity of resolving the issue before it adjourns its final 1946 session later this week, the council was expected to dispose of it by:
ONE: Voting down requests by Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia that the council request. the United States to take immediate steps to restore some 200 Yugoslav and Czech river craft being held by American authorities in Austria and Bavama, ' '
TWO: Getting the United States to retreat quietly from its insistence that the council, instead of granting the Yugoslav and Czech requests, call all the states along the Danube as well as the U. S. and {Russia to a conference at Vienna sometime before Nov.. 1, The conference. would discuss American proposals for internationalizing traffic on the busy waterway and pooling boats and barges of the countries using the river.
Doubt Wednesday ‘Adjournment
Delegates began working overtime | to settle other issues on which they must report to the forthcoming meeting of the U.N. general assembly and Dr. Andrija Stampar of Yugoslavia, acting president of the 18-nation council, said he hoped the session could be adjourned for good Wednesday night. Some thought Stampar too optimistic however, and said that the council’s wrangle over the proposed intrenational refugee organization already had made adjournment impossible until later in the week. In a sort of eleventh-hour effort to salvage a ‘workable refugee program from the proposals before the council, representatives of the United States, Russia and the United Kingdom were prepared to recommend a $100 million cut in the TRO's , suggested first-year budge) o of f $258 milo million.

British Getting Out It is a paradox that the steps being taken by the British today to relax control there as rapidly as possible are, in effect, playing into the hands of the Communists. The coming to power of the Labor government in England and the Internal, dissonances that grew out of the war have tended to hasten the efforts of the British to
