NEWS CORRESPONDENT SAYS
Bring Astronauts’ View
Of World Down To Earth
RIVER FOREST, Ill. -
The astronaut’s new view of
“one world” must be brought
down to earth, news
commentator Pauline
Frederick told a Rosary
College audience Thursday.
Miss Frederick, UN
correspondent for NBC-TV
and radio, speaking on
Convocation Day at the River
Forest College, referred to a
photograph of the “blue and
white sphere floating in an
inky void” given by three
American spacemen to UN
Secretary-General U Thant.
The astronauts had captioned
the picture “As others see us,
clearly, one world.”
“Now that the world has
come into human focus ... it
must follow that there can be
only one family,” Miss
Frederick said. “It can no
longer be denied that all men
are brothers.
“But so were Cain and
Abel,” she continued. “The
big question is: Will the
behavior of Cain continue to
prevail?”
She referred to what she
called an “unabashed
demonstration of hypocrisy”
last August when the United
States protested that it could
not stop bombing North
Vietnam and the Soviet
Union was occupying
Czechoslovakia. At the very
same time reprsentatives of
both powers at a special
United Nations meeting were
considering a proposal that
nations refrain from threat or
use of force and agree to
settle disputes by peaceful
means.
In contrast to the “one
world’’ view of the
astronauts, Miss Frederick
said United Nations members
have their “backs to the
world” because the powers
behind them still rely on
violence to cope with
international problems.
“The United States, the
Soviet Union and China have
been battling one another
over the prone, bleeding little
country of peasants called
Vietnam,” she said, “because
they are frightened of one
another and are competing
for the dominant position in
Southeast Asia. Of course,
eadh of the three has been

careful not to attack the
nationals and property of the
other two because that might
produce a nuclear
confrontation. But Vietnam
and its peasants have been
expendable in this power
contest.”
She pointed out that the
United Nations charter has
been called a “binding
treaty” by former Supreme
Court Justice Arthur
Goldberg.
Each member boasts it
observes all the principles of
this binding Treaty and calls
other nations violators, Miss
Frederick went on.
The history of the past
century has demonstrated
that solutions to international
problems do not “emerge
from the mouth of the
cannon,” Miss Frederick said.
‘‘The alternative to
strong-arm methods .... is
the full employment of the
conference table under all
circumstances, not just when
we -- or the Soviet Union, or
any other power -- chooses.”
Yet nations put their
“sacred egoism” first, and
come to the United Nations,
if at all, only when all else has
failed, she said.
The example of the big
powers openly violating the
first principles of the UN
charter that they have
pledged to uphold does little
to encourage smaller
antagonists to use the peace
table instead of the bomb -
the Arabs and Israelis in
particular, she said.
The change to the “one
world” view must come,
according to Miss Frederick,
because “today’s weapons
not only fail to offer security,
they threaten security. There
is no longer an alternative to
the conference table if there
is to be survival.”

system was the “latest act in
the continuing nuclear arms
race.”
“This decision has been
widely interpreted as the
prelude to a ‘thick’ ABM
system to defend against
possible nuclear attack,” they
noted.

Susan DeGange, 12 year
old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
J. A. DeGange of Valdosta
was the grand prize winner in
the Valdosta Region Social
Science Fair. Susan, a seventh
grader at St. John the
* Evangelist School, won the
top award for her exhibit on
the Golden Age of Greece.
She is the first Valdostan to
receive the grand prize, which
is a $25.00 saving bond.
Dr. Tomberlin, Regional
fair Chairman, who is from
the history department of
Valdosta State College, said
the girl’s effort is one of the
best he has seen in social
science competition.
The fair sponsored jointly
by the Sears-Roebuck
Foundation and the State
Department of Education, is
divided into divisions -
history , geography,
anthropology, political
science, economics, and
sociology. Susan chose
history. Last year she won
antiballistic missiles are
purely defensive, designed to
limit the damage to the
United States from nuclear
attack,” the bishops said.
“Nevertheless, by upsetting
the present strategic balance,
the so-called balance of
terror, there is grave danger
that a United States ABM
system will incite other
nations to increase their
offensive nuclear forces with
third place in the State
competition in the history
division.
This year Susan built a
model of the Acropolis for
her main display. The
three-sided three-foot peg
board was filled with pictures
and summaries of Greek
architecture, geography,
government, arts, famous
men and daily living. The
display was accompanied by a
tape recording of Susan
reading Greek poems.
Another blue ribbon
winner from St. John’s in the
Region Fair went to Scott
Sanderbeck, and Richard
Harsce, 6th graders, whose
project was in the economics
division.
There were 83 entries
from the 21 counties in the
South Georgia area. Blue
ribbon winners are competing
in the State Social Science
Fair March 19-21 at Georgia
State College in Atlanta.
the seeming excuse of a need
to restore the balance.”
President Nixon, asked if
he thought the Soviet Union
might interpret his ABM
decision as escalating the
arms race, replied: “I think
the Soviet Union recognizes
very clearly the difference
between a defensive posture
and an offensive posture.”
The kind of defensive
system “which enables the
United States of America to
make its deterrent capability
credible . . . will have an
enormous effect in reducing
the pressure on other
countries who might want to
acquire nuclear weapons,”
President Nixon claimed.
There was no immediate
comment from U. S. bishops
on President Nixon’s
program.
