Systematic attacks on these convictions are the worst and the most subtle forms of sabotage, Dr. Wilson said. Once these convictions are held then the incentives must be provided for the individual, the executive indicated.

The goal of incentives is to make the individual work to produce the necessary goods; and the provision and maintenance of tools by which he can multiply his output. Many incentives have been tried. Captain John Smith, he said, tried a type of communism in the early days of Jamestown and it failed. When he instituted the incentive of the direct return for efforts expended the prosperity of the colonists was achieved. "We must never lose sight of the fact that the nearer we can approach a clear and direct relationship between effort and reward, the better will be the individual effort," Dr.

Wilson said. Incentive Needed Taking up the necessity of incentive to industry Dr. Wilson said: "Some would call our system the profit sytem, but that might seem to imply that profits to capital were guaranteed. I think the most accurate name for our system is the 'hope-of-profit' system. On the average, venture capital really earns surprisingly little below 10 per cent per annum after deducting taxes and losses from unsuccessful ventures; but the holding out to capital of a reasonable chance for a good profit is the best, and, in the long run, the cheapest way to get risks taken and new industries built.

'The guarantee of a fixed return equal to this average figure would be less of an incentive and yet would cost society much more because it would have to subsidize so many unsound ventures." The executive said that opportunity to get ahead is the great incentive for the average American, and "vvithou decrying the value of a reasonable amount of social security, it will be a sad day for America if it ever puts mere security ahead of opportunity." Some of the tendencies of "recent an proposed" legislation during the past two decades, he added, strike at the very roots of ne incentives of all classes of society. In his baccalaureate speech Sunday morning, Dr.McCall said the need of the world was to try the principles of Christianity to solve it problems.

JP Officials at Walker Air Force Base near Roswell have released the name of a second Illinois airman killed "ast week In the crash of B36 bomber. An Air Force spokesman Monday identified the second Illinois crew member as Capt. Ernest R. Morton, 31, of Winthrop Harbor, 111. Earlier the Air Force identified Capt.

Arthur R. Fred, of Waltonville, 111., as another crash victim. The B36 is a 10 engine intercontinental bomber. The crash occurred last Wednesday near San Angelo, Tox. The big plane was at Walker Air Force Base.

The widows of both men live in Roswell. In all, 15 airmen died in the crash. Fischer saw a bed with a mattress at the jockey club, jumped on it and "bounced up and down like a baby boy," Simpson said.

"It would be false and dangerous economy to hold the research and development appropriations at a evel too low to permit a volume of effort essential to effective programs in areas of opportunity for new and improved weaponry."

The ordered them deported, the roadcast said. The broadcast was 'eiping's first announcement of any official action against the Mere.

After the Peiping announcement, the U.S. State Department expressed hope that the Chinese decision to free the four indicated an early release for 11 other American fliers and civilians detained by the Reds. The other 11 are survivors of a 329 crew whose plane crashed Jan. 12, 1953. The Communists announced last December they had jeen convicted of espionage and to prison terms.

The United States strongly denied the spy charge. The U.N. Assembly subsequently condemned he Chinese action and called for he release of all U.N. personnel icld since the Korean War. The release of the four airmen ollowed five months of intensive diplomatic activity by U.N.

Sec- General Dag Hammarskold and diplomats of Britain, Sweden and India. Hammarskjold and Indian foreign policy expert V. K. Krishna Menon both made rips to Peiping to see Chinese Premier Chou En-lai. Raise Hopes U.N.

officials said a letter from Thou to Hammarskjold had raised lopes of early release for the remaining 11 fliers. Reports from Washington said Menon also hac advised the State Department that he freeing of the four airmen was only the first step the Peiping regime plans to ease Far Easl tensions and improve relations with the United States. The four released men are all jet pilots. They were captured individually after being shot down combat. The Red Chinese said all were taken inside Manchuria.

U.S. military authorities said they lad been downed in North Korea while on missions near the bor der. Red China has maintained that ier soldiers fighting in Korea were volunteers and that Manchuria, herefore, was a neutral country, mmune to attack. Near Border U.N. airmen fighting in the Ko- War were under orders not .0 cross the Red Chinese frontier.

But officers said many air battles were so close to the border that a falling plane or parachute could lave drifted across the Yalu River nlo Manchuria. The Poiping radio broadcast disclosing the release of the four said 'ill had made flights across the Yalu "under orders" to attack Red Chinese aircraft or to "perpetrate harassing and provocative activi- "After capture," it added, "all defendants admitted the facts given above." "Taking into consideration the fuel that the defendants were only carrying out the orders of the United Stales military authorities and have all admitted their crimes and expressed remorse since then capture, they are therefore being treated with leniency," the broad cast verdict said. Informed sources in New Delh said Menon had told Western diplomats the Red Chinese were re (jkasing only a small group of air any thing not in line with the evaluating committee." Such a "centralized textbook control," he warned "could lead to centralized thought control, and the threat this holds to our freedom is obvious." He expressed the opinion that local school boards, backed by an alert citizenry, could easily control any threats to undermining our faint, in our form of government through textbook channels. America is a successful "melt- Ing pot" of peoples, he said, not so much of organic mixtures of races, but rather because of thi intermixing of thoughts and ic'eas, and "the viciousness of a textbook control law is that it denies us this 'melting pot' strength in the deceptive name of security." Discussing the appropriateness of his remarks here, he pointed out that one Alton editor, the Rev. Elijah P.

Lovejoy, had been killed in 1836 defending the right of freedom of the press and speech. Hamilton Jones was master of ceremonies.
