Remembering and Looking Ahead
On Veterans Day, 1957
Today is set aside as Veterans Day, a time to
remember the thousands of men and women who have
served their country in tiftie of conflict.
Veterans of four wars live with us today. Some
are carrying on in civilian life where they left off to
serve their country; some are in veterans hospitals;
some are crippled for life, and some are still in service, j
As we continue to strive for world peace so that
someday there will be no more veterans, our world
gets bigger and more complex.
We may achieve unity with all countries of this
planet sooner than we expect in a united effort against
other worlds around us if sputniks are only samples
of what is to come.
Until then we honor those today who, through their
courage and personal sacrifice, kept America free, “a
country of the people, and by the people and for the
people.”
A HEALTHY SHOCK
Americans have lived like children in paradise
for a long time. They have been surrunded by “the
good life.” Still not satisfied, they have besieged the
government in massive pressure groups for special
benefits and privileges.
They needed a healthy shock, and they have it ini
the Russian “moons” which are circling the earth
every day. T
Senator Styles Bridges, in commenting on the
Russian rocket achievement, aptly palls for “an imme
diate revision of national psychology. . . .
“The time has clearly come to be less concerned,
with the depth of the pile on the new broadloom rug j
or the height of the tail fin on the new car and to be
more prepared to shed blood, sweat and tears if this
country and the free world are to survive.”

•was told.

HOUND DOG KILLED
IN HELPING MAN
AGAINST WILDCAT
TRION, Ga., UP)—A hound dog
paid with its life in aiding a 60
year-old electrical contractor to
withstand the attack of a 25
pound wildcat.
J. F. Bennett told of the inci
dent which occurred Friday when
he was exercizing his own small
dog:
“I was walking our little dog
Brownie in a field near the house
when she jumped a rabbit.
“Brownie started running the
rabbit, then she got to hollering.
“I walked up to where she was.
And that’s when the cat hit me.
He landed on my chest a-howling
and screaming and clawing at my
throat. Then this other dog I
never saw before started trying
to pull the wildcat off.
“Th^ cat left me and started
after the dog. It killed the dog
and then came back for me. I
grabbed a pine limb and started
swinging at it. The cat jumped me
three times before I finally beat
it to death.
“Brownie was scratched up a
little. The other dog was pretty
well tore up. I don’t know who it
belonged to, but it sure helped
me.”
Bennett was clawed on the face,
neck and stomach by the wildcat.”

Tells Why U.S. Is Behind
Russians In Space Race

these teams must necessarily lead
to immediate interruption of the
work, with resultant delays.”
About more money:
“I believe that, by and large,
our five key ballistic missile pro
gram (Jupiter, Thor, Polaris,
Atlas and Titan) could not be
speeded up appreciably by in
creases in funds . . .
“This statement does not apply
to many badly neglected fringe
areas of our ballistic missile and
satellite programs. First and fore
most, there is a crying need for
more money for basic and applied
research in these areas.
“Secondly, while adequate
funds are available for the clear
ly defined missile weapons sys
tems, there is never enough to
‘advance the art’. A typical ex
ample is that we don’t have a
real powerful rocket engine today
simply because none of our pres
ent crash missile programs needs
it. But in order to beat the Rus- j
sians in the race for outer space t
we absolutely need it—and the!
development of such an engine I
requires several years.”
Sen. Kennedy Says Soviet Moons -
Rule Out Any Future Tax Cuts
RENO, Iff)—Sen. John F. Kenne
dy says “the Red star on Soviet
moons” in particular should rule
out any federal tax cut in 1958
and “very likely for years to
come.”
The Massachusetts Democrat
told the Young Democrats nation
al convention Friday night his
stand may not gain the party a
single vote in the next elections,
but he added:
“Speaking for myself, as one
Democrat that must seek re-elec
tion next year, I want to state
here and now that I think it
would be both misleading and ir
responsible for us to predict a tax
cut in 1958.”
The 40-year-old senator re
ceived a warm ovation from the
under-40 delegates, some of whom
may be casting ballots for the
presidential ticket in the 1960
Democratic National Convention.
Kennedy based his opposition
to tax cuts on the combination of
declining federal revenues, in
creased expeditures, and the'
threat raised high in the sky by
the Russian’s Sputnik.
“There is no point any longer
in pretending that we can cut
| taxes by holding the defense
j budget to $38 billion when there
i-- ~
are no prospects for disarma
ment, when the Soviets have sur
passed or outmoded much of our
defensive strength, and when the
weapons of tomorrow take more
and more money.”
The Massachusetts senator, a
near miss for the Democratic vice
presidential nomination in 1956,
praised President Eisenhower’s
appointment of Dr. James Killian,
president of MIT, to oversee a
step-up in this country’s missiles
and satellite program.
But, referring to Eisenhower’s
address to the nation Thursday
night, he said “the American peo
ple ought to be told that the facts
of our current military position
are far more grim than the Presi
dent indicated.”
