Military Space Race WITH THE SUCCESS of Apollo, the three-man ▼ » spacecraft, the United States has taken another important step in the race to land a mail on the Moon, a goal that could be meaningless if the Soviets should gain military control of the atmosphere above Earth. For the past eight years the U. S. space program has been aimed almost exclusively toward nonmilitary accomplishments. The few military space probes have involved defensive satellites to warn of an attack. The Soviets, however, have pushed ahead with space projects strictly of a military and offensive nature. Their success could make all American space explorations hazardous and also could endanger the security of the United States. Over the past 30 months the Soviets have put into orbit at least 13 satellites of an unknown purpose. Robert C. McNamara, when he was secretary of Defense, acknowledged that Moscow was developing a fractional orbital bombardment system (FOBS) which could put nuclear weapons into partial orbit. FOBS could be directed from ground control to release its bomb payload at any particular time. Its primary advantage over an intercontinental ballistic missile is that it reduces from 15 to four or five minutes the warning time available to the country under attack, making air defense against it all but impossible. Launching FOBS is in apparent violation of the Outer Space Treaty which prohibits putting weapons into orbit. This legal technicality would not, of course, lessen the danger to the United States. It merely shows the naivete of the Johnson administration in agreeing to limit the arms race without adequate inspections. Whatever the Soviets might be doing about militry space projects, the United States should give military space research and development the highest priority. All space explorations should have a primary military purpose so that the U. S. can maintain its present arms superiority. We must, for national survival, control space, as well as air. land and sea. Public Service Indiana joins nuclear program

POACHING

PubUc Service Indiana today joined 17 other electric utilities in a “fast breeder” nuclear reactor development program i n progress at North American Rockwell’s Atomics International Division. Walter J. Matthews, president of the electric company, said, “The goal of the research program is to develop a 350,000 to 500,000 kilo-watt sodiumcooled, fast breeder reactor, which will be installed in the eastern United States.” Public Service Indiana is joining in the fast breeder program to keep abreast of research and development in the rapidly.chang. ing atomic energy field. At present, coal remains the most economical fuel for producing electrie energy for the 69-county area served by the investor, owned utility. The reactor under design is called a breeder because new

nuclear fuel is created faster than the old fuel is consumed. At present, there are 14 con. ventional nuclear power stations in operation in the United States, with some 33 under construction and 59 more on the drawing board. The fast breeder reactor is expected to greatly extend the economies of atomic power generation.

Defense Dept. issues call for 26,800 men WASHINGTON (UPI) - The Defense Department today issued a draft call of 26,800 for January, the highest quota for any month since last May. The January call is 8,300 above the December figure of 17,500 and compares with an 18month low of 10,000 men set for induction this month. The draft is expected to continue at a level of 25,000 or more a month through the first half of 1969 because of the comparatively low induction totals during the last half of this year. Last spring—during March, April and May—the quotas were above 40,000 a month. In June, inductions dropped to 20,000. They totalled 15,000 in July, 18,300 in August, 12,200 in September and 13,800 in October. Manpower experts last spring estimated that the Army would require 240,000 draftees during the fiscal year beginning July 1. Since quotas for the first half of that period totaled 86,800 the estimate would leave 153,000 men to be drafted during the six-months starting Jan. 1.

Farmers now watching for Nixon movement

By BERNARD BRENNER WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Nixon administration, elected with a free hand to propose changes in farm support and surplus control policy, was expected to move cautiously in that touchy field when it takes office next year. President - elect Richard M. Nixon promised in his campaign his administration would “carefully prepare improvements to take effect when the (present farm) law expires” The current law will be effective through the end of the 1970 crop seasons for major crops including wheat, feed grains and cotton. Nixon did not, however, specify what “improvements” he would propose to the Demo-cratic-controlled Congress. Some observers have speculated that for grain crops, at least, Nixon may move toward de-emphasizing or eventually dropping present programs which set up voluntary controls on acreage of individual crops. These might be replaced, it was said, by an expanded general

cropland rental program in which some farmers are paid to leave whole farms idle, leaving others free to plant what they choose on remaining acreage. But the shift to a general cropland retirement plan is only one of several alternatives which have been discussed by Republican farm advisers, Dr. Don Paarlberg said in a telephone interview Wednesday. Paarlberg, a Purdue University economist, former Eisenhower administration official, and member of Nixon’s campaign farm advisory committee, added he personally believed U.S. farm production potential is so great that “some kind of program will be necessary even, though the objective is to move in the direction of greater reliance on the market place.” Farmers have come to rely Continued on Page 5

To The Editor This letter is in reply to Mrs. W. J. Fuson’s letter appearing in the Banner on Tuesday, November 5th. The question of the legality of DePauw students’ voting rights in Putnam County is one which the Federal Courts will have to decide. Regarding her doubts that the students of DePauw have little or no interest in this community, I wonder how many people are aware of at least one way in which the students are showing a real concern for all of us. At present there are about 80 students involved in a Community Education Tutorial Program which is conducted in three different schools in Greencastle. These students of DePauw voluntarily spend time with students in our schools to supplement and improve their education. This is the third year for this program, and it has become so popular with the youngsters and their parents that this year’s enrollment of students in one school has doubled. The very fact that we have many more student volunteers than we have need for should answer your question as to whether or not these particular DePauw students are interested in this community. I answer your question with a great big “YES”, they are!” I am a housewife and mother in this community, and I also volunteer my services to this program because I too can see the help it can be to our educators in the schools. It is very difficult for our teachers to give special attention to a few students in our crowded classrooms of today, and that is where these DePauw students assist. I am in no way associated with

the University, so I can only know of this one area of involvement on the part of the students, but the enthusiasm and real concern they show would lead me to believe they must be involved in other ways in our community. So thank God for those of our younger generation today who do care. How fortunate we are to have so many in our own community. Mrs. Bill Bird sell —Saigon NLF was represented there as an equal. “Such an assertion is completely contrary to the truth,” the statement said. “The president had never discussed such a formula with anyone.” In his new peace formula, Thieu reiterated the three basic conditions which he earlier said must be met before the South Vietnamese government could sit at talks. They were: — Hanoi must guarantee sincerely it will talk directly with the government of South Vietnam. — There must be a completely new phase of talks, not just a continuation of the six-month-old U.S.-Hanoi talks in Paris. — The NLF would attend the talks only as a part of the North Vietnamese delegation.

Mayor Daley won’t give votes CHICAGO (UPI) — Mayor Richard J. Daley refuses to concede Illinois and its vital 26 electoral votes to Richard M. Nixon. “It’s conceivable mistakes were made” in Cicero and Berwyn townships, Daley said. “A careful check may turn up very interesting results.” Daley held a news conference Wednesday and complained of ballots not arriving from the two heavily Republican, suburban towns until 12 hours after the polls closed. “There were irregularities in Cicero yesterday, according to poll watchers. In every township, there was a letter from the Republican ward leader telling the judges to count the judicial ballot first,” the mayor said. Daley said that counting the paper judicial ballots first delays reporting of the political races. He urged that from now on the judges be elected during the June primary. “The way it is now, judges get lost in the shuffle,” he said. Cook County Treasurer Edmund Kucharski, a Republican, said Daley charges about the returns from the two townships were “completely absurd.” “Here is a man who has a tremendous craze for power. I can understand how he might have lost his cool,” Kucharski said. Final election totals posted

It had to be daylight. He knew it by the hurt in his eyes. The young dark curly head was cupped in the pillow. The face was flushed, the long lashes curving free of the lids, the innocent mouth full and relaxed. The only sign that he was awake was in the movement of the twined fingers on the bedspread. To know--to know that one knows— is consciousness. This is what he had and it was what he feared. The young man could feel his heart, which was also awake now and afraid, throbbing in his temples and pulsing in the tight embrace of the fingers. Carefully, he partly opened one eye. It was as he had dreaded. He was not home. The opened eye, aching backward into a cone in the middle of his mind, had seen a cheap crystal chandelier eye, aching backward into a cone in the middle of his mind, had seen a cheap crystal chandelier. It looked like a small artificial Christmas tree hanging upside down. He closed the eye and took a long br-sabi Somewhere in space, he was in another sanitarium or hospital, and he knew not the day or the hour, or where all the others had fled. There would be a scene, of course. His anguished mother and father would travel to whatever state this was, and would plead with “Dear, dear Reggie” to stop drinking. He would be too sick to debate life at low tide in a bottle, and he would murmur: “I’ve learned my lesson. This is the last time.” Reggie was 26, looked 18, was married to a drudge who seldom complained, and was what the local paper called the “scion” of its first family. He had been intoxicated for six years and, off and on, had been a patient at a variety of sanitariums and hospitals. In sum, a bum. He opened the eye wider and permitted the other one to join it. He could hear the critical hissing of a radiator. The room was large and square. His memory told him that most of them

were squarish and old-fashioned. It was as though groups of doctors bought old mansions, and put bars on the windows and high fences around the lawns. To balance this, the caretakers always responded sweetly, no matter how crude and abusive the language of the patient. Reggie had been yessed to death by specialists. Sometimes they strapped him down and crossed his arms and he alternately screamed and slept for days. In others, they had syringes which kept him placid and comatose. A few tried psychiatric treatment, but Reggie was suspicious and hostile. He was sure that he had tried all the known “cures.” This one was different. The roaming eyes in the motionless head caught the bottom of the curtains lifting from an open window. He saw a table and a chair, an oxygen tank against a wall, a door—locked, probably—a fireplace, and over it, a fake marble mantel. The fearful eyes swept the mantel and returned quickly. There was something on the mantel. One, two, three glasses. Shot glasses. The head began to come slowly off the pillow. They were filled with something brownish. It was an illusion. It had to be. A trick of a monumental hangover. Without looking, he reached for a cord and a buzzer. It was there, pinned to the sheet under the pillow. He pressed, and waited. Continued on Page 5
