show the full range of attributes possessed by Neil McElroy named by President Eisenhower to succeed the resigning Secretary of Defense Charles Wilson But at this stage there can be no doubt of his bravery A man who undertakes a top cabinet job in the Washington of this era is either brave or utterly foolhardy And McElroy has giv en no indication that he is fool He must therefore be brave because if he is confirmed in his new post: He will be giving up a relatively high paying job as president of Procter and Gam ble soap manufacturers to take a lower paying assignment with the government He probably will have to divest himselff any stockholdings he has in order to ivoid any conflict of interest between his niblic and private activities Most likely he will have to maintain two tomes one in Cincinnati and another in Vashington on less money than he now tas to keep one going Instead of worrying just about what his Guest Editorial His Bravery company board of directors may do he will have to worry over what some 531 law makers may say and do relative to his oper ations On top of this he will have to adjust his actions to the White House' to his fellow cabinet officers to the various agencies and departments which affect his own field And he will have to worry over what foreign gov ernments think of the defense pronouncements and activities He may find spending as much Lime answering congressional and other inquir ies about his activities as he is performing them He may discover too that be criti cized as inaccessible if he sticks to business and doesn't talk publicly or that be just as roundly assailed as a if he talks freely In short be playing a course nearly all sand traps and' rough and prac tically no fairway It takes nerve And after chopped his way along for a while McElroy may find himself dreaming of the old days in Cincinnati when by comparison it was all fairway Haunted Houses Must Not Be Entered The State Department was' stuffily right

man's oyster It is more like a clam taped close with inflammable adhesive If Mike Gilbert and Warren Hair had per sisted in piercing the Iron Curtain after luckily being evicted from enslaved Hungary no worse for the wear a tense international might have resulted Thus State's wisdom in nudging them homeward toward unexciting safety But what a dry sad logic it is that underlies the wisdom The trouble with Gilbert and Hair is not that they are adventurers but that they are adventurers for adventure's sake The world no longer tolerates their happy breed All adventurers now must have a purpose There is a place for a youth who wants to build a better rocket bomb tank or turbo jet toothpaste tube cardboard box railroad car or building block there is no place for the atomic age version of the boy who in sists on entering a haunted house to have a jou 4 with any ghosts that might be up and about Thus the government was shocked to its official core that two American boys had skylarked behind the Iron Curtain And the Communist guards who arrested them was stunned to find they had not come pur Silent Explosion In all this talk of the world population not too clear an idea has been conveyed as to which countries are explod ing the most Usually there's an assumption that the Asiatic lands But the ascer tainable facts suggest otherwise United Nations studies show that the four nations with the highest birth rates are Mexico (465 per 1000 population) Vene zuela (464) Colombia (404) and Peru (322) The first big Asiatic country in the list is India with a rate of 274 But this is not much greater than the current US rate of 249 per 1000 Russia stands at 256 and China is not listed presumably because ac curate figures are lacking We are actually almost outpacing India since its death rate per 1000 is 115 against 94 But even though Mexico and Colombia have death rates exceeding their net gains are tremendous Lower death rates in Venezuela and Peru give them a staggering population advance poxcfully He was certain that they were political defectors in the Cold War It seemed incomprehensible that two human beings dill believed the world was Ijig enough to It looks as
