New Atomic Missiles Pose
Problem of Adequate Defense
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON.— (NEA) —The development of
scveral types of long-range, high-speed guided
inissiles, now revealed to have atomic warheads, is
so far along that the military planners have begun
to do some serious stewing about the next obvious
problem—a satisfactory defense against them.
The assumption is that if you've got a pretty good
now weapon, it probably won’t be long before the
¢ omy will have the same thing. So you better
& art worrying about a defense. As it works out
1 v, the development of a new weapon and an
¢ ~quete defense against it are practically the
s e program,
Jetails and capabilities of the various missiles
v ih are very close to what the services call “op
e itional” are top secret. But certain general infor=-
ntion has been revealed about them piecemeal.
There are several methods of guiding the missiles
which have been more or less successful, The
“homing” type of missile is attracted to metal,
heat, light, sound or a combination of them. There’s
the missile which is actually guided during the full
3lizght, .
Sut perhaps the most effective guidance system
s the one that is pre-set or pre-aimed at a specific
t-rcet, This system includes complicated mrethods
i - correcting errors of navigation caused by winds
# < other factors. It is most adaptable to high speed
¢ 1 long range, The performance of such a missile
1 ‘rmits it to hit a target as well as a plane can by
¢ opping bombs, be capable of ranges well over
1.000 miles and be able to travel at supersonie
soeeds,
BIST SUITEDR TO SURPRISE ATTACK
It is thig latter type of guided missile which has
the defense experts most concerned, It's the one that
the enemy will most likely use for any surprise
attack,
That description of a missile’s capabilities makes
it sound pretty invincible. Like the Germran V-2
which nobody knew was coming until after it ex
ploded, what possible defense could there be against *
it after it was fired? The answer to this part of the
problem hag been found in the development of the
missile itself, the experts admit.
11 a missile travels 3,000-miles-per-hour, an anti
missile missile has to travel a little faster to knock
it out. The defensive missile can be of much shorter
range, so it wouldn’t be hard toe give it that extra
speed, the experts say. But how could you ever hit
2 missile going 8,000 miles an hour?
And that, too, is no technical obstacle, they say.
The same electronics gear that sends a missile un
erringly to a target can be adapted to send an anti
missile to it. This involves homing devices,
The way the planners have sized it up, the prob
lem gets more complicated in the other direction,
not in getting a missile which will knock out an
other missile, but on the ground, waiting for an
attack.
It's obvious that any anti-missile missile, to be
effective, would have to be sitting on the ground,
loaded, cocked and connected to a radar device
which would automatically fire it when the enemy’s
missile came in range, Human reflexes would be
too slow in any of these stages to be any good.
RADAR COST MOUNTS UP
Thus, the final human decision to be made in any”
guided missile defense system is when to have the
radar turned on. And that gets into an evaluation
of the available intelligence information or the
tenseness of an international situaffon, which is
getting away from the strictly military aspects of a
missile defense. -
In the last analysis; the really limiting factor in
setting up a defense against guided missiles is nat
fonal economy. All the elaborate and complicated
electronic devices and radar which are involved in
such a defense are fantastically expensive, It's
mrany times more costly than any comparably ade
gluato defense Uncle Sam has ever provided for its
gitizens before.
1f hard realities force the start of such a project,
the first problem would be to decide what cities or
areas would have to be protected first, The pros
r2ct of putting up a simple radar screen for air
-Ilanes along the west coast staggers the govern
ment budgeteers now. With such a screen as only
the most elementary part of a missile defense sys
tem, how much would it cost?
That question, the military planmers hope they
are never alive to have to face. As one of them
admits:
“The guided missile is the first weapon ever de=-
veloped for which there is really only one defense,
ne matter how you analyze it. And that is world
peace.”
1 am confident that a number of excise taxes put
on during the war will be completely repealed,
while others will be partially repealed. — Senate
Majority Leader Scott W. Lucas.
Smith Speech Against Smear
Tactics Was Statesmanlike
The words that Senator Margaret Chase Smith
spoke the other day should have been voiced long
ago, \
Though Mrs. Smith spoke as a Republican and
waxed strongly critical of the Democratic admin
istration, her speech on the Senate floor—like her
formal statement which six other GOP senators en
dorsed—was really above partisanship,
It was the conscience of the Senate speaking, in
deed, the conscience of all fair-minded people in
the nation, Mrs, Smith was the voice of decency, of
calm reason, of honesty and integrity.
Too often in recent months, she said, the Senate
has been made a “forum of hate and character as
sassination sheltered by the shield of congres
sional immunity.” She added:
“The American people are sick and tired of being
afraid to speak their minds lest they be politically
smeared as ‘Communists’ or ‘Fascists’ by their op
ponents. Freedom of speech is not what it used to
be in America. It has been so abused by some that
it is not exercised by others.” ’
She blamed both parties for the fear, suspicion
and confusion bred in the Senate and spread
through the country. As a good party member, she
declared that the United States sorely needs a Re
publican victory at the polls, But she insisted that
the Democrats had made enough mistakes to give
the GOP campaign issues without resorting to
smears.,
“I don’t want to see the Republican Party win
that way,” she said. “While it might be a fleeting
victory for the party, it would be a more lasting
defeat for the American people.”
This is statesmanship. This is responsible public
utterance. It contrasts markedly with the tactics of
Senator Joseph McCarthy, Mrs. Smith’s GOP col
league, who obviously was the chief target of her
declaration, His endless charges of communisnr in
the State Department have been made in brazen dis
regard of the reputations of innocent people, have
probably done serious harm to U. S. foreign rela=-
tions, and still stand wholly unproved.
MeCarthy since has answered Mrs, Smith’s speech
obliquely by saying he will go on with his cam=
Ppaign no matter what any group in the Senate may
do, He said he holds himself accountable primarily
to the people of his state and nation.
Certainly Mrs. Smith has no wish to choke off a
thorough and complete inquiry into communism in
government, whether led by McCarthy or anyone
else. She was appealing against the methods he has
used up to now.
If McCarthy continues to use his tactics of irre
sponsible smearing, he is right in asserting that no
“declaration of conscience” can stop him. In, the
end, only the people of his state, Wisconsin, will
have the power. They must judge his anti-Red
campaign on its achievements—if any—and his be
havior in terms of the American standards of de
cency and fairness that have been so well spoken
by Mrs. Smith.
Hesitant British May Do Well
By Joining Coal-Steel Pool
Soon six European countries will begin negotiat
ing to fornr a pool of their coal and steel industries.
If they succeed they may wipe out a major source
of the international frictions that have taken Eu
rope periodically into war.
A coal-steel alliance would be historic in another
sense: it would mean that several proud nations
had in the interest of peace and economic well
being given up a portion of their precious sover
eignty.
Sovereignty is to world affairs what states’
rights afe to the national scene. It means the right
of a government to control its own destiny without
outside interference. Nations have jealously guard=-
ed this right.
But now they are beginning to see that its exer
cise does not actually assure them of control over
their respective destinies. The world today is too
closely interwoven. Attempts of nations to exist in
isolated pockets are largely failures,
Great credit must go to France as the bold author
of the coal-steel plan. Perennially fearful of neigh
boring Germany, the French nevertheless have
mustered their courage for a step that might prove
the first big stride toward unity in Europe. Italy,
West Germany, Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg
also merit commendation for joining the plan.
Britain has chosen not to take part at this stage.
Its refusal doesn’t bar possible participation when
the pool is worked out in detail; it merely means
the British were reluctant to do anything suggest
ing they were wholly committed to the idea.
The British attitude is understandable. The La
bor government is worried over the effect a pool
arrangement would have on its controlled economy,
especially on wages in its own coal and steel indus
tries. Pay is higher than on the continent.
Furthermore, Britain has stout ties with nations
of the British Commonwealth, What might happen
to these under a pool set-up?
Britain unquestionably is the most isolation=
minded country in Europe outside of Russia, The
British probably would be ecstatically happy if the
20 miles of channel separating them from the con
tinent could be stretched into an ocean.
This outlook plus jealous concern for its social
istic experiments probably explains why Britain
seems less willing than others in Europe to concede
an inch or two of its sovereignty.

Undulant Fever Epidemic Can
Be Caused By Infected Meat
By EDWIN P, JORDON, M. D.
Written for NEA Service |
Undulant Fever, which is one
kind of brucellosis, has become a
matter of increasing concern to
doctors and health officials in re
cent years. It's is an important
disease both for human beings and
for the livestock and dairy in
terests,
Human brucellosis is caused by
a germ of which there are several
varieties. It is a disease which
can cause many different kinds of
syx%ptoms. In a typical acute at
tack fever, chilly sensations, ex
cessive sweating, loss of weight,
pains in the muscles and headache
are quite common.
Fever is generally present which
tends to go up and down in a
wave-like manner, and it is this
characteristic which has given it
the name of “undulant” fever.
All too often the disease does
not show typical symptoms and

can be confused with other dis
eases. It is sometimes responsible
for backache and other signs of
rauscular or joint rheumatism.
One of the leading research work
ers on this disease contracted it
but was considered to be a “ner
vouse case” for many years before
the true cause was discovered.
Brucellosis is usually a chronic
and long-lasting condition. It is
difficult to diagnose because there
is no one test which identifies it
with certainty. It is also difficult
to treat because it calls for a
treatment which will not onily
control the infection but eradicate
the germ from the body. Recently
promising results, however, have
been reported with mixtures of
various sulfa drugs and antibiotics.
Epidemics have been reported
from gérm-infected milk, In fact,
the disease is usually contracted
by drinking infected milk or com=-
ing in contact with meat from
infected animals. It attacks many
animals and this fact has made it
necessary in many cases to de
stroy whole herds or flocks.
Although brucellosis remains a
serious health problem, some prog
ress is being made, It is being
fought in livestock on farms. Re
search work on better methods of
diagnosis and treatment are being
carried out in many laboratories
throughout the world.
AVOID CONTACTS
The elimination of the disease
in dairy herds and other live
stock, the use of pasteurized milk,
and care in avoiding infection by
conttact with infected meats should
do much to cut down the danger
of contracting brucellosis,
Also there is real hope that bet
ter treatment is here or just

KIND OF SWEETS
DETERMINES TOOTH DECAY
MINNEAPOLIS— (AP) — The
kind of sweets you eat may make
a difference in the amount of
tooth decay you have, Drs. H. W,
Haggard and Leon A. Greenberg
of the Yale University Laboratory
of Applied Physology report
Sweets that cling seems to be the
dangerous ones, they write in Den«
tal Survey. The damage is prob
ably slight if the sweets don’t stay
long in the mouth. |
Testing various foods and bev
erages, they found that peak con
censtrations of sugar in salive
were reached with caramel candy,
orange juice and grapefruit juice.
Then came mixed meal, soft
drinks, chewing gum, ice cream
and crackers.
These were tests of the initial
censtrations of sugar in saliver
the high level of sugar lasts also
is important, they said. There
were quick drops in sugar con
centration 10 minutes after the
taking of soft drinks, juices, and
chewing gun. Crackers, ice cream,
mixed meal, and caramel showed
much slower drops, in that order.
Brushing teeth five minutes after
eating carmel candy dropped the
sugar concentration to a negligi
ble amount.
A method of predicting accu
rately what mineral riches can be
