Research Outlays Restored Defense Secretary Neil H. McElroy, apparently bowing to Congressional pressure, has restored economy cuts made by his predecessor, Charles E. Wilson, last August for military research, development, testing and evaluation of new weapons. At the same time, he fully restored basic research, the exploration ot scientific knowns which often precede specific entific develoDment. The restoration came one day after publication of the National Science Foundation report urging the increase of government and private support of basic scientific research to meet the needs of an expanding domestic economy and the challenge of Soviet technological advances.

The foundation is the top scientific agency of the gov ernment. Months in preparation, the report stressed the greater ratio of Soviet scientists to the support available for basic research here. That may account for the gap shown by the Soviet's lead in the satellite and missile fields. The Armed Forces plan to spend in the current fiscal year for research and development and of procurement and production funds in testing new weapons, known as support research. However, only $80,000,000 is earmarked for basic research.

This is a weakness in the program yet to be corrected. Under Mr. McElroy's impetus, the missiles and satellite programs are being given full attention. While it has lost the race for launching the first intercontinental ballistic missile and the first earth satellite. the Defense Department is confident it can get operational weapons into the pro duction line as soon as or even ahead of the Soviet Union.

That is where the de cisive battle will be won, and where the security of this country is at stake. The shock of Soviet achievement has at least settled one question. Economy must not come ahead oi security. Disturbing Decisions Recent Supreme Court decisions, which negated state laws to ban subversive activities, are becoming a matter of grave concern for the Attorneys General of the 48 states. Through Stewart G.

Honeck. Attorney General of Wisconsin, they presented their case to a subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee studying the impact of recent decisions on the Constitutional separation of powers. The Attorneys General do not believe it is desirable to tamper in any way with the existing jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, but Mr. Honeck suggested that "since the power to decide includes the power to err," legislation to correct errors is desirable. That is so, if corrections are specific.

The danger is that general legis lation mignt come out ot the dissatisfaction with recent decisions, which would seek to curb the court's powers, and upset tne traoitionai oaiance ot powers. For instance, Mr. Honeck would pose a new test of Supreme Court decisions. When a large majority of Attorneys General and a similar maioritv of mial- ified appellate practitioners of the Amer ican Bar conclude that the decisions wrong, he proposes that they should be enuuea to a renearing at which they cc ask for and support a request for a versal. That would be chaos.

It would be "court packing" with 48 Attorneys eral and thousands of appellate lawye when thev disagree with a controversial decision. The Constitution leaves that de cision properly to the elected Congress. Khrushchev's Camouflage The so-cailed crisis in the Middle East has not been taken seriously by United States officials because thev knew the charges that this country was instigating war between lurKey and Syria were a fraudulent as dictator Nikita Khrushchev1 smiling mask of co-existence. Ouster of Marshal Georei Zhukov a Soviet defense minister offers an explana tion oi tne crisis. Speculation that the turmoil was manu factured as a backdrop for ditching Zhukov strains credulity, but that is because we are not attuned to the plots and counterplots of personal power politics.

The Soviet press has been almost hysterical about the imminence of war. It even fixed the day Turkey was to invade Syria, the day after the Turkish elections, which took place last Sunday. One of Zhukov'j closest collaborators was put in command on the Turkish frontier, perhaps to get him out of Moscow. Khrushchev reached over the heada of a handful of Zhukov marihali for hit tuccenor. Marthai Rodion Y.

Malinovsay. The cards were stacked. In the three weeks while Zhukov was out of the coun try, he shorn ot all power, wnue popular attention was focused on the "crisis." Hardly Known Billionaire There are 76 oersons in the United States with fortunes above $75,000,000, led by a man whose name is hardly known, according to a list published by Fortune Magazine. He leads the Rockefellers, the Mellons, the du Fonts and the Fords that show third generation and more dispersal of family fortunes. Jean Paul Getty, Minnesota-born oil man with a personal fortune of a billion nr more, is a newcomer, in the second Feneration of wealth, his father having founded the fortune.

Fortune savs there are another 79 who have fortunes of from $50,000,000 and perhaps 100 with $50,000,000. The magazine quotes a Treasury official as saying there are oerhans 500 Americans in the jU-i lion class. How many mere millionaires one million or the study does not show. They must be more numerous than generally believed. Don't Forget Good Youth In the increasing concern over problems of delinquents, the thousands' of young DeoDle who five no trouble to the com munity should not be ignored.

They should have opportunities for constructive leisure as an antidote to the daily solicitations to corruption to which they are exposed. Lieutenant Colonel F. B. Vanholme. U.

S. Army chaplain, urged volunteer youth workers to capitalize on hero-worship and loyalty to instill sound qualities of mind and character in their charges. Youth leaders must recoenize the de sire of young people to emulate greatness well as their disappointment on discov ering unworthiness in their ideals among the great principles for youth guidance. They must De snown tnat tneir loyalty is in realitv based unon respect and con victions concerning God and the moral laws He has given tor our guidance, colonel Vanholme warned. Leadership then becomes a living exemplification of deep convictions.

POOR LOSER (Waterbury Republican) There are laws in the State of Connecticut which prohibit gambling, but apparently some people don't know about them. Un in fhe lovelv little town of Colchester. certain gentleman was trapped the other day simply because he was a poor loser. It all hap pened line tnis: The permittee of a private club in Colchester complained to State Police that he had been "robbed" of $200 by a couple of transient sharpies who displayed unusual abilitv on a pool table. The troopers investigated and found that the man in question had made a bet wjth his new-found friends that they couldn't perform a certain trick pool shot.

They proved otherwise. Havinc been relieved of $200. the permittee decided that he had been fleeced and filed his complaint. The troopers found out that the men against whom the bet had been made were professional pool players who made their or at least part of by traveling from place to place staging exhibitions of trick shots on the green felt tables. They said they could make the shot, made a bet.

and delivered as pA schedule. But the gentleman who lost the $200 was unhappy. And he's not a bit happier now that he filed his complaint. He was arrested on charges of gaming and filing a false complaint with police. His expert pool-playing acquaintances were also charged with gaming, and the trio is due in court later this month.

Mavbe we should be a little more svmDathelie toward the Colchester clubman than we are, but we always figured that "you pays your mnnev and you takes your choice." If you win, fine! If you lose, keep your mouth shut! The victim in question wasn't "rohhed." Ks just lost a bet. But he should have known bet ter than to make the wager in the first place. WHY RUSSIA HUFFS AND PUFFS (St. Louis Globe-Democrat) Can Moscow really mean it, when it charges that the United States and Turkey are planning an attack on Syria? That is like accusing the United States and Mexico of cannine im tn ailarlr the Virgin Islands. lo Americans, the war of words that Moscow has launched over Syria can't help but sound like a sham battle.

Now. however, Whittaker Chambers writes that the tug of war over Syria is not trivial, but amounts to a "great upset" for American foreign policy. So far, Russia has been able to put a pro-Soviet set of officials in charge of the Syrian and keep them there. That means, Mr. Chambers writes, in the current issue of the National Review, that Moscow has taken "its longest stride across the chain of pro-Western nations that hem it in." To put it even more bluntly, the American attempt to "coniain" Russia' has failed In the Middle East, because Russia has made a major break-through by its capture of the Syrian Gov-Chambers, an authority on Russia and author of the best-selling "Witness," says that Russia intends to exploit its bridgehead in Syria in two ways.

First, to "soften up" Western Europe by cutting off its vital oil supplies that come from the Arab oil fields. Second, to advance down the Arabian land bridge and set ud a chain nf nm. Soviet regimei across North Africa to Latin America. Just as the "road to Paris runs through Peking," he writes, so "the road to Washington Russia. With ill hlutterine probe of the alleged United States-Turkish plot against Syria, is trying to back up the pro-Soviet officials it has boosted Into office.

When the stakes are as high as those that Mr. Chambers describes, it is easy to understand why Moscow is willing to run the risk nf war involved, when it huffs and puffs and THE BRIDGEPORT TELEGRAM.

With indications of a huge hog production and falling prices next year, many important Republicans will be after his scalp.

Malcolm S. Forbes New Jersey and to Theodore R. Dalton, gubernatorial candidate, in Old Dominion Commonwealth. But Eisenhower does not believe; that the Chief Executive should become too embroiled in politics. It is the gist of Republican poli ticians criticism of him.

Numerous members of the Cabinet and White House tariat. however, have appeared and made speeches for Forbes, including Vice-President Nixon. It would not help Ike or his wine oi the Party for him to plunge that battle personally, especially as Governor Robert G. Meyner's re-election is a definite possibil ity. But should he lose, Eisenhower can call a Republican vic- iry an endorsement of his pon tes this important state.

Although Candidate Dalton amassed the uprecedented total of 45 per cent of the vote in his previous campaign for Governor of Virginia, the Little Rock episode has probably ruined his chances to repeat that feat.

There has been a noticeable slackening of the will to resist, a not unnatural tendency to take a gloomy, reslgned-to-the-inevltable attitude toward the chances of survival if the Russians should attack. This dangerous tendency could be reversed if the leaders of the free world demonstrate their dtermina-tlon to really lead a united delense against any Red expansion.
