Wilson Defends
Administration’s
Missiles Policy
DETROIT, Uft—Former defense
secretary Charles Wilson Monday
night defended administration
policies in the ballistics missile
race with Soviet Russia and de
clared this country was not lag
ging behind.
He denied the U.S.SJt. had out
stripped America in technological
progress and asserted Americans
were “unrealistic” about the So
viet space satellites and their im
plication in the struggle between
East and West.
The former defense chief said
in a speech at a testimonial din
ner given in his honor that while
Russia claims to have the know
how to produce intercontinental
missiles “our scientists and engi
eers are convinced we can do the
same.”
Wilson said it was a tossup
whether the United States or Rus
sia was ahead in the missile race.
He said he believed the two
countries were on a par, give or
take a few months, and nobody
could say with certainty that the
Russians were ahead.
Of the Soviet space satellites,
Sputniks I and II, he said that he
thought their true importance lay
in that neither was in any sense a
military weapon but rather only
represented a measure of Russian
technical competence in the bal
listic missive field and t£p satellite
area.
He reminded his listeners that
the free world has ^reat military
power in all areas and he declared
that the American Strategic Air
Command bomber force “is still
the great deterrent to war andj
will be for some time.”
Fish Hits Jackpot for
Staying Alive 17 Hours
Out of Water
i
PONTELAND, England, OP)—A j
tenacious tench named Oswald J
has hit the jackpot. As a reward i
for staying alive 17 hours out of
water, he is going to have his
owfl private pond—with no fish
ing allowed.
Contractor George Clay, who
caught two-pound Oswald several
weeks ago, is spending $756 to
have the pond built.
Clay snaked Oswald out of a
stream at Kidderminster, 270
miles from here. Wrapped in a
dry newspaper, the fish made the
trip home in Clay’s car and stayed
there overnight.
Next morning, Mrs. Clay, knife
poised, was about to start carving
Oswald into breakfast fillets
when the he gave a sudden wrig
gle. The Clays didn’t have the
heart to eat the hardy little fel
low, so they put him in a bathtub
where he is still doing nicely on
a diet of grubs and breadcrumbs.

YOKOSUKA, Japan, tB—The
U.S. Navy yesterday downgrade^
the trials of six of 16 marines ac
cused of mistreating prisoners at
the Sasebo Navil Base brig.
Vice A dm. Roscoe F. Good, the
commander of U.S. naval forces
in Japan, ordered the six marines
tried by summary courts-martiaL
Previously they head been held
for trial by special courts-martial
which are empowered to give
more severe sentences.
The trials will begin atj Yoko
suka Nov. 14. The trials! were
shifted from SaSebo after the ma

would not get fair treatment at
the base and after several defen
dents were involved in fights
with Navy men on the base.
A summary court can impose a
maximum sentence of one month
imprisonment at hard labor, or a
fine of not more than two-thirds
of one month’s pay.
More than 20 sailors who were
prisoners in the Navy brig have
accused the marines of various
forms of mistreatment, including
kickings, stoppings and assault
with a bayonet.
Where Do
Great Ideas Come From?
From its beginnings this nation has
been guided by great ideas.
The men who hammered out the Con
stitution and the Bill of Rights were
thinkers—men of vision—the best edu
cated men of their day. And every
major advance in our civilization since
that time has come from minds
equipped by education to create great
ideas and put them into action.
So, at the very core of our progress is
the college classroom. It is there that
the imagination of young men and
womefi gains the intellectual discipline
that turns it to useful thinking. It is
there that the great ideas of the future
will be born.
That is why the present tasks of our
colleges and universities are of vital
concern to every American. These in
stitutions are doing their utmost to
raise their teaching standards, to meet
the rising pressure for enrollment, and
provide the healthy educational climate
in which great ideas may flourish.
They need the help of all who love free
dom, all who hope for continued prog
ress in science, in statesmanship, in the
better things of life. They need it now!
