SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1957 Secrecy In the Missile Field i Behind the various U.S. laws which prevent our handing vital nuclear and other scientific infor-'matito our friends abroad is the idea that this secrecy is necessary to preserve our advantage over the Soviet Union. All we need to do is a little to realize that our advantage in some fields has either diminished or vanished altogether. The barrier of secrecy has not beatprevented the Russians from ing us to outer space, nor from making tremendous strides in the development of nuclear weapons and missiles. Ironically, the Russians gained important nuclear and other data from us through espionage, despite the veil of secrecy. But, beyond that, they seem to have poured far more effort than we into the essential research work which produced The Fortunate British needs. on moon-watchi- " ng Queen Elizabeth did not have to win American hearts because she already has them.

Delightedly she sought out the top of the Empire State building, world's tallest. Through it al she was as freshly appreciative and curious as a child. Her interest was a great compliment to America. It was also a measure of her character.

It seems entirely unlikely also that he would have paid so little Gos-nja- k, I attention to a man who, he thought, was breathing down Khrushchev's neck in a bid for leadership. Zbukov, of course, is as much a Communist as Khrushchev is. He also is a member of the Communist Party Presidium which rules Russia. Zhukov's support probably saved Khrushchev in the Kremlin dispute which resulted in the ousting of Georgi M. Malenkovi Vyacheslaa M. Molotov and Lazar M.

Zbukov went to Yugoslavia in his capacity of Russian defense minister. He was returning a visit made to Russia by Gen. Ivan Yugoslav state secretary for defense. There have been reports ever since that Zhukov, in command of the armed forces, war the real power in the Kremlin and that he might supplant Khrushchev as No. 1 man in the Soviet collective leadership. These reports may prove to be correct. But Zhukov's visit to Yugoslavia did nothing to substanti-.at- e them. The routine manner of "his reception brings to mind the insistence of Russian experts before the Kremlin dispute that the Russian armed forces were not in-volved in politics and that Zhukov bad no political ambitions.

In fact, we can divide rocks, into three great groups, p. depending on the way In which they were formed. The first group is called sedimentary rocks. These rocks were formed as the result of deposits laid down by water, wind, ice, and also by the work of plants and animals. These rocks usually occur in thick or thin layers called strata and are called i stratified rocks. Another thing about sedimentary rocks is that the tiny particles of which they are made are usually rounded. The sharp edges and corners have "been worn off wLile the particles were being rolled along stream beds, washed by waves, or blown by the wind. Sandstone, limestone, and shale are examples of sedimentary rocks. Dan- (UP)-Re- p. Q "Can you suggest !a small town where living costs would be cheaper than they are in New York?" A. J. M.

"I was eager to retire," says Mr. Ed Thornton, "and I finally got my business affairs in shape and quit last winter. I'd rather loaf than work, and I wish I had quit sooner." Mr. Thornton owned the largest insurance agency in a city. Many of his friends in town bankers, accountants, lawyers, morticians, businessmen retired sooner than he did. They formed the Ten O'Clock Club, which met every weekday morning at a downtown restaurant for coffee, a ond breakfast and conversation. When Mr. Thornton could snatch a few minutes away from his desk, he'd meet his retired friends for coffee. But he then had to leave and go back to work after a few minutes, leaving the others to luxuriate in their freedom until lunch time. Before he retired, Mr. Thornton bolstered his prospects for a happy life with these practical props: 1. He ordered lumber to convert an extra bedroom of his home into a panelled den. This was his first project. 2. He bought af small farm, which was rented and operated by a capable tenant farmer. This purchase served both as an investment and an interest. "It gives me something to look after," he says. "Every man needs something to look after a farm, a house, a dog, an apartment building, a business interest, or a garden." mid-weste- The Chopping Block Once in a while my sense of civic duty wakes up and yawns, and so a few evenings ago I found myself at a convention to nominate a mayor and a couple of councilmen for my home town j One interesting thing about Zhukov's visit is that he went from Yugoslavia to Albania, the little Ckmmunit satellite country on the Adriatic Sea.

The secrecy requirement does not preserve our advantage but, on the contrary, lays upon us and our friends a painful and crippling burden. The defense network of NATO has long needed the nuclear equipment and knowledge which in Any war would be the new West's chief reliance. It is plain, too, that the United States as well as its friends would benefit from a fuller scientific exchange than now prevails. Scientists here and abroad are both partially starved for want of data the others possess. Together they might be able to produce significant new developments that and would restore the West in this America to realm so critical to free men's safety and well being.
