Missile Gap Squabble More Serious Now It is conceded that for the next sev- gral tense years the Soviet Union will possess more intercontinental missiles' than will the United States. The exist- ence of this "missile gap" worries many Americans, says the Milwaukee Journal The chins up attitude of the Eisen- hower administration has been that our jong range bombers and other weapons will sufficiently compensate so that there will not be a "deterrent gap." The news of recent days, however, suggests that America's defense posture may be seriously damaged if setbacks in the Atlas missile program are not halted. The troubles, as detailed by the Wall Street Journal, are not with the missile jtself. The Atlas has proved in tests to be highly reliable. The delays are in- volved in installing the missiles at strategically situated combat sites. Missiles at Francis E. Warren air force base near Cheyenne, Wyo. were supposed to be operational by now. They won't be until autumn. Those at Offutt air force base near Omaha were to be 'ready by the end of summer. The work 'there is "several months" behind sche- 'dule. : The air force blames the delays on Use The Old What Latin America needs, and bad- ly, is ecnomic help to develop resources, transportation and industry, so that the "Jot of the common man may be bettered. More and more the enlightened leaders are aware of this; some have been pushing a continental disarmament. scheme. Despite all this ,the United States de- partment of defense, through the mili- tary aid program, keeps increasing mili- tary assistance to the Latin American nations. For next year, it has proposed $67 million. Since the Latin American "military aid program got under way, we have contributed $301,827,000. So says The Milwaukee Journal Recent hearings on this program be- fore a house appropriations subcommit- tee revealed many interesting things, and hid many more, thanks to so-called "security" insisted upon by the military. Item: Seven Latin American countries received military aid in 1952; now there are 17. Item: Latin America is a great place for our military to dump its excess and obsolete: weapons. Since 1952, $115 mil- lion of our aid has been in this category. It was left to Chairman Passman (Dem, La.) of the committee, however, to probe the nettlesome problem of what jurisdictional strikes by unions, sloppy work and poor judgment by the sub- contractors and failure on the part of Convair division of General Dynamics Corp. to co-ordinate the program prop- erly. Convair builds the Atlas and holds the major- contract for the combat in- stallations. hi The union squabbles arise when Con- vair workers, most of whom are mem- bers 'of big industrial union, take missile equipment to the launch pads for assembly and there encounter building trades workers who claim the right to do all the work at the construction sites. Union spokesmen play down the factor of jurisdictional disputes. Both they and the contractors join in criticizing the air force, says The Journal The picture is not a pretty one. Une doubtedly all parties deserve some criticism, and it must be conceded that constructing the missile installations is a new and complex job. Top level labor leaders are already acting to iron out the union difficulties. Company and air force chieftains need similarly to take a hand. The urgency of the situation is too serious for further delays to be permitted. Gun happens to prevent American arms and equipment from being used, not for hemispheric defense, but to keep a dic- tator in power, stage a revolution, start a war with a neighbor or simply shoot down some citizens. This discussion with Brig. Gen. Frederick O. Hertel ex- plains all: Mr. Passman. Do we have an agtree- ment with these Latin American coun- tries with refererice to the use of our equipment? Gen. Hertel. Before they can utilize any equipment we furnish for any pur- pose other than that for which it is fur- nished, they have to request authority to utilize the MAP provided equipment. Mr. Passman. If they should possibly start shooting at each other, they would put our equipment in storage and use their own guns; is that the way it works? Gen. Hertel. Yes, sir. Mr. Passman. If it is in their posses. sion, it would take a lot of will power.to put that equipment in storage and get the old sticks out. My hat is off to them. We share Passman's skepticism, says The Journal. And we suggest again, as the house and senate take a last look at the foreign aid appropriations bill, that a wonderful place"to wield the economy knife would be in Latin American mili- tary aid. Is "Ike" Insulated Is President Eisenhower living in an unreal world either of his own or his unreal world either of his own or his staff's creation? The question has been asked in Washington ever since his stroke in 1957. It has taken on a note of urgency since the diplomatic calamities at. the Summit and in Tokyo. So says the Van- couver Sun. As those who attend his press confer- "ences have reported, the president some- times shows a surprising lack of know- 'Jedge about current events. He has him- 'self admitted that he does not read "widely. It has to be assumed, therefore, She Oshawa Times 7. L. WILSON, Publisher and General Maneoger © €.

Correspondents accompanying him on his return from the Far East report he appears uninterested in foreign reactions to the Tokyo episode. They say he seems to feel no responsibility for that fiasco or for the earlier humiliation at the Sum- mit, considering both to have been the result of circumstances outside American control. ] If that is so, either he is misinterpret- ing the information he receives, or else he is being fed very little information. Mr. Eisenhower is a man who tends to think in simple terms, seeing the world in black and white, good and evil. When he faces a question involving the subtler greys of international relations his answer often blurs off into unfinished sentences. It is possible that his staff briefs him interms that fit into that frame of mind, that it tells him what he wants to hear. At the times of his heart attack in 1955, his ileitis in 1956 and, especially, his stroke in 1957 the White House put a protective curtain around him to make sure he was not distressed. Can it be that-the habit has lingered, and he is still kept insulated from some of the harsh realities? If so, it is more than disturbing. In today's conflict of power the presi- dent of the United States is, willy-nilly, the leader of the West. And a misunder- standing or miscalculation by him could have catastrophic results for the world, adds The Sun. HRC -- OTTAWA REPORT Diefenbaker's Day Coming Of Unity By PATRICK NICHOLSON Thursday the seventh of July; 1960, should go down in history as "Diefenbaker's Day." On that day our House of Com- mons agreed, without a single dissenting vote, to give approval in principle to the Prime Minis- ter"s own Canadian Bill of Rights. On that day Mr. Diefenbaker delivered what was perhaps the most sincere and moving speech of his public life, to wind up what was by far the best debate yet heard in our two - year - old 24th Parliament. Most important of all, on that day. the speech by Mr. Diefen- baker and the vote by our House of Commons crystallized our growing national belief in Cana- dian Unity. "Hyphenated Canadianism" was buried for ever, silently and without regret, during the com- pelling oratory of the open- ing part of Mr. Diefenbaker's speech. The prime minister is proud of his family name which betokens the German origin of his father; and equally proud of his mothers family name, Campbell Banner- man, revealing the - Highland Scottish blood in his veins. But he referred to the '"'mental dis- crimination" which has existed against those whose family names betokened that they were not quite the same kind of Ca- nadian as those with British or French names, and indicated rightly that the time for such thinking is past. Fingers tucked in characteris- tic pose beneath the lapels of his jacket, the tall dignified-looking leader decribed his regrets at this' "hypkenated Canadianism" in the past, and his hopes for Canadian unity based on pride in our country. A crowded House of Commons; packed galleries con- taining a Chinese girl and an Af- rican man among the many Ca- nadians; the speaker's gallery filled with Mrs. Diefenbaker, Ministers' wives, and Conserva- tive Women's Association presi- dent, Mrs, Josie Quart; these heard him proclaim in a voice quivering with emotion that the very texture of this great de- bate had served to proclaim the proud new Canadianism. One in every six Canadians to- day is aa immigrant. A number sit in our House of Commons, and several of these took part in this debate. Mr. Diefenbaker singled out several, describing how he had long looked forward to hearing MPs of foreign par- entage assert "I am proud to be a Canadian." y Bert Badanai, born and raised an Italian; Doug Jung, whose parents came from China to the "Gum Shan" or Golden Moun- tain which is Canada; Ed Nas- serden, born of Lebanese par- ents; Reynold Rapp, born in Russia of German parents; all these the prime minister praised for their vaiuable contributions to the debate, for conjuring up that feeling of "the vast unity which brings us together as Ca- nadians." He could also have mentiomed others who made memorable speeches: some of the two faund- ing races, some not of that "Mother Lode" by blood, some proud of their derivation from The First Canadians. Leon Cres- tohl, born in Poland of Jewish parents; Erhart Regier, a Men- nonite; Harold Winch, born in England; Davie Fulton and David Walker born in Canada, likewise Noel Dorion and Lionel Chevrier, and above all Paul Martin and Pierre Sevigny; all these added their quota, whilst the last - mentioned gave his speech with the best delivery that has been heard on Parlia- ment Hill for a very long time. "Diefcubaker's Day': that fi- nal day of this moving four-day debate, that coming-of-age day of the mental acceptance of Ca- nadian Unity. It was a fitting climax to John. Diefenbaker's lifetime struggle and twenty- year political battle for Human Rights and Fundamental Free- doms. But to him, as his oratory soared to its convincing, almost hypnotic, peak, this was in es- sence the triumph over hyphen. ated Canadianism. It was a mo- ment brilliantly epitomised by Vancouver's Conservative Doug Jung, who said: "I am proud to sit in this 24th Parlia- ment =f Canada." REPORT FROM THE U.K. Mystery Station By Scots Rebels By M, McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times EDINBURGH, Scotland -- The "Voice of the New Scotland, broadcasting from this capital city, Edinburgh", is on the air. Every Thursday night, at 11 p.m. using a blank third BBC tele- vision channel, it sends out pro- grams to Edinburgh listeners. Where this mystery pirate sta- tion has its broadcasting appara- tus is a well-kept secret. On Thursday nights, when it comes on the air, green official vans, with detection equipment roam the streets of Edinburgh, trying to track the pirate station which calls itself Radio Free Scotland. So far, they have had no success and the twenty-minute programs continue, The program always starts are used in announcing the items on the program. At the latest broadcast, a 19-year-old youth giving the name of Hamish Grant, presented a record pro- gram announced as 'Pirate Pops". Among the tunes was the famous "The Wee Magie Stane". This song, which tells the story of the removal of the Stone of Destiny from Westminster Abbey a few years ago, is banned by, the British Broadcasting Corpor- ation, But it is played on Radio Free Scotland, The pops numbers range that song to a, few rock 'n goll records.
