Gardner, former assistant Air Force secretary for research and development, estimated that the Russians are still about three years ahead of the United States "at least" in the space race. "We have no room for complacency," said Gardner, discussing the sun orbit of the U.S. Explorer satellite, "As a matter of fact it is high time that our government understands the we are in fact in a race." "We don't seem to want to accept It as a nation and appropriate the necessary funds to properly conduct an adequate space program." he Raid. Gardner, an advocate of more vigorous research and development programs, left the administration in 1056. Now head of Hycon Manufacturing Pasadena, Gardner discussed space and missile in a radio interview with Sen.

Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.) destined for broadcast over Tennessee stations. Gardner's comments were in direct conflict with the assertion by President Eisenhower and his top aides that the United States does not con sider itself in a "race" with Russia where space technology is concerned. Asked why Russia got ahead field of missiles and satellites, Gardner said: "1 think that we didn't understand what was obvious to the Soviets, that science and tech nolbgy were in fact going through a revolution, that earth satellites were a possibility instead of a paper probability." He said the Soviets moved ahead to develop rockets with at least twice the fhrust of our intercontinental ballistic missiles and, but for effort we might have had no ICBM developments at all. "The facts arc that we stil don't a nearly enough ICBMs operational," Gardner said. and position everyone mentioned in this hypothetical Washington cocktail party conversation.

"Well, as I said to Dick the other day, Tom certainly got himself all snarled up on intentions and capabilities and Allen was no help to him. I was told that Herb called Jim to take it up with the Boss, but he referred the whole thing to Nate through Jerry. That's where it stands now. Of course, Paul has told his boys to make the most of it, and as you may have noticed Jack are trying to muscle in on that act. So, there you are.

As I said to Harry at a party over at Clark's: 'If the Democrats don't have an issue, just trust the Republicans to make one for them'."

Barry Goldwater an old Nixon friend and the chairman of the Senate Republican campaign committee. Goldwater's speech was regarded by many observers here as the signal for a resurgence of conservative GOP isolationism. He proposed that the United States withdraw its diplomatic recognition from Russia and cease all negotiations with the U.S.S.R.

Only eight days 'earlier another old friend of the vice president, GOP Gov. Wesley Powe 1 of New savs something about it all tect himself against his ene- the ttaTMI understand Len mies.

Indications, are that Nixon will run into more of the same from others on the Republican right wing, despite his own efforts to present a more liberal image to the nation. DEMOCRATIC National Chairman Paul Butler's off- the record meeting with newsmen last week had an ironic twist.

Butler's aim in talking with reporters was to promote his campaign for cracking down on party leaders in southern states who may refuse to pledge tial nominee. But Butler's aside that he thought Kennedy had the nomination wrapped up brought down on his head the wrath not of the conservative southerners but of Hubert Humphrey, probably the most liberal Democrat in the Senate. WHEN Humphrey accused Butler of not maintaining the neutrality required of one serving as party chairman and said Butler had "outlived his usefulness," the phrase had a familiar ring. The Minnesota senator has used it often in the past, lation which provide for televising congressional proceedings. Kasem said he had found few Americans who can even name their congressmen, and that television would put things right.

"Pshaw," said Rep. John Dowdy Texas). "If the people don't even know the name of their congressman, do you think they'd recognize him when they saw him on television?" "Well," replied Kasem, "it would be a poor congressman who couldn't make his name, face and district well known, but in some cases, but seldom when might be an ad- to other Democrats. Butler vantage, now joins the late secretary of state, John Foster Dulles, and the present secretary of agriculture, Ezra Taft Benson among others, for whose resignation Humphrey has called on grounds they had outlived their usefulness. DURING the House's civil frustrating as a woodpecker rights debate, Rep.

George gnawin' on an iron gate- T. Kasem Calif.) rose post." THE CIVIL rights debate produced moments of tenseness and humor. Rep. Frank Chelf Ky.) said he was getting good and tired of the subject. The constant pressure for civil rights, said the Southerner, was to him and his colleagues "as Red China Gains in Military Might (Continued From PaKC One) that "while China is ready to commit itself to international agreements, any intemational agreement which is arrived at -without the formal participation of the Chinese People's Republic, or the signature of its delegates, cannot, of course, have any binding force on China." Red China is already operating several research reactors built with Soviet assistance.

Earlier this month a member of the Indian Parliament who claims to have wide contacts in Red China told his colleagues that the Chinese plan to explode a small atomic bomb on March 28. "Russia is giving them a small atomic bomb of Hiroshima size," he said, adding that it would be exploded near Urumchi in Sinkiang province. Any assessment of Red China's strength is difficult to come by, a fact acknowledged by Pentagon intelligence sources. Red China is so minutely organized that the covert intelligent agent cannot lose himself easily in the masses. Still, some information Is available.

Eight members of various Pentagon intelligence services, including three civilian industrial experts, granted interviews which, collectively, lasted over four hours. As usual with intelligence personnel, none would permit identification by name or service. This is a summary which indicates why Red China is difficult to ignore as a world power: Heel China lias a 2.000-jet air force, including apjrox- imatcly 50 light bombers of the subsonic which have a range of 1,200 miles. The aviation unit flies these light bombers almost exclusively. Most of the jet fighters are MIG-15 and MIG-17 types which arc roughly comparable to the obsolescent F-84s and F-86s of the U.S.

Air Force. The Chinese do have a few of the supersonic MIG-ISs, which are somewhat similar to the U.S. F-lOOs. None of the more advanced the Soviet equivalent of the American F-104, has been detected yet in China. The Chinese Communist navy consists of about 250 ships of all types 20 submarines, half of which are long-range types, four old Gorki-class destroyers, four destroyer-escorts of the latest Riga class.

18 Kronsladt- class patrol boats, 50 mine layers, 16 landing ships tanks, a large force of patrol-torpedo boats, and a miscellaneous collection of former Japanese freighters. Thus, the Chinese navy has almost no large offensive capability, though it does have harassment value The fact that the Chinese are developing a submarine building and repair capability, however, interests the U.S. mightily. There is a belief that the Soviets, who have nearly 140 submarines based at Vladivostok and Tort Arthur, hope to use the Chinese facilities as secondary warm-water bases. iL.iitoL.mm Loot Flics Home FORT WORTH, of the loot stolen fronr rp re i( premature Frank Heflin nine days ion has been returned--under its Betrothal Story Corrected The Independent Star-News day, to announce the betrothal WILLIAM H.
