Edward L. Kateenbach, of the Air Force Research Division at Cambridge, expressed that opinion in de- liverinu the Carnegie Lecture yesterday on "Command Control Decisions" in a Lounge, California Institute of -Referring to "the lemming' like riesirp of humans for war," Dr. Katzenbach said the trouble is the- enormous gap between political policy artr technical feasibility.

The effi ciency of the bureaucracies ol trip free and communist worlds will determine the outcome oJ the cold war or of a hot war should there be one and the closer we can come to "get ting the political and technica bureaucrats into the a ballpark, nearer will be to success," he said. There is fadism in defense just us there Is In Women's fashions and at present everyone is working on arms control. Dr. Katzenbach stated, adding- that Command control has come Into Its own rather late in the missile age. "We have a penchant for letting contracts for study of new things and while they are being accelerated the effect is that, new ideas have a hard time breaking through to recognition," he commented.

"I really believe that the Air Force and the Navy, have always had the idea that thev would be able retaliatory weapons, after they become aware of ai attack and that they had an illusion of six hours time in which they could get their nlanes in the air and then recall them if attack alarm was found to be erroneous. They can't do that with missiles." Declaring that he and many 5a the Pentagon are far more worried about a stupid mistake than they are about a deliberately launched war, Dr. Katzenbach said there will be no time for the President to receive the facts and make decisions after we learn missiles have been fired at us. The tactical nuclear forces 5n Europe are within five minutes of each other and an automatic system i fialr trigger yet incapable of mistake must be devised for command control. If we Won't believe In the automatic system WP should consider withdrawing our forces, Ipe added.

Prosecutor Cites Debts of Loomis Accused' murderer Richard E. Loomis' milk bill of $212 was cited yesterday as the prosecution attempted to show how heavily in debt he was when he assertedly sabotaged an airplane to collect a $50,000 insurance policy. Dep! Dist. Atty. David Fitts told a jury in Superior- Judge Evelle J.

Younger's court in Los Angeles that the 45-year- old Loomis' deep financial trouble was the reason he severed the hydraulic landing gear of his British. Mosquito bomber. The state alleges the sabo taging took place at Lockheed Air Terminal.on July 1, 1957, shortly before the plywood plane Loomis purchased for 58,000 crashed in the Calabasas Hills. The pilot, James Keith Gibbs, 32, of Van Nuys, was killed. Winding up his final arguments, Fitts said he found no truth In the contention of Loomis, a Pasadena business promoter, that he hired Gibbs to take aerial photographs for the government on a no salary basis, but with a promise of 20 per cent of the profits.

Instead, Fitts charged, the defendant hired Gibbs to fly the Mosquito "with the purpose of bailing out before it crashed. He said Gibbs had been Optimists Told Joys of Climbing Russell Mohn, PCC counselor, is addicted to climbing and doesn't give a hang whether it's up or down. Yesterday he gave Pasadena Optimists a glimpse into the 'down" aspect of climbing-what he calls "caving: He showed colored slides he while exploring the Cave of the Winding! Stair in the Providence Mountains near Needles with a party of climb ers, plus slides of same of the better known caves such as Carlsbad Caverns and the Cave of the Winds. After explaining a full complement of i i equipment he brought with him, Mohn expounded on the benefits of mountaineering and caving. Besides keeping him in excellent physical condition, he said it gives him an opportu nity to "nourish the soul" with the beauties of nature.

Certain aspects of climbing are particularly applicable to day-to-day living, according to Mohn, such as the need for planning ahead, the need for teamwork in a situation where a slip can mean death, and learning to accept failure.

People who have always given have 'sent nothing this year, simply because no Chest worker has been to see them. "It isn't a case of tired, givers," he "but of tired workers."
