A Dreadlul Dream

We had a dreadful dream the other night. It was to the effect that Soviet Russia had finally be- come a democracy, and that it was on the hustings—and not In H10 dark recesses of the Kremlin-that the Cuban situation was being de- bated. We are not clear whether Mr. Khrushchev himself was run- ning on a popular ticket. or whether it .‘was just some kind of a congres- sional election that was on. At any rate the Soviet Premier seemed to be campaigning actively. and to be under attack from his Stalinist op- nonents for making a too timid response to American War threats-

Then came President Kennedy's blockade proclamation a g a i n s '6 Cuba, and Mr. Khrushchev hasten- ed back to Moscow from some out- lying district where he had been apeechmaking about his new arms buildup and boasting that he would never yield another inch to Western plutocrats. His party chiefs were awaiting him in the capital. and they made it clear to him that he couldn’t backtrack now—that this new American challenge must be met head-on. or they would all be finished at the polls.

Mr. Khrushchev. in our dream. argued against precipitate action: but his colleagues reminded him that the election was only 8 Week 01‘ so away, and that it was now or never so far as they were concerned- “If you, Mr. Chairman. act ‘chicken’ now," said one of his lieutenants in ringing tones. “then our goose is cooked.”

So the die was cast. (Another mixed metaphor doesn't matter in a. dream like this!) Mr. Khrushchev ordered his C u b a n transports to make full speed ahead, called out the Russian navy and air force and told them to shoot their way through. The news was broadcast to cheering millions of his support- ers. The situation was saved: the Opposition was on the run.

Almost simultaneousIy—-or so it eeemed—the election results in both the big power nation s were an- nounced. Those in office in both countries were returned overwhelm- ingly. and the resulting jubilation: quite drowned out the cannonading in the Caribbean. But not for long. A noise like nothing ever before heard on earth proclaimed the real advent of the nuclear age. And then. all that was worth fighting for in both hemispheres went up in mon- atrous clouds of rubble and flame.

Weawakened at this stage. panic-stricken-—to learn th at the Cuban crisis was over. Whether it was Kennedy or Khrushchev who had “backed down" we didn't wait to-ask. We uttered a heartfelt

‘Thank God!” and fell devoutly

to our prayers. '

nified portion of the picture was it. man reading a newspaper in a. back- ard. With the modern aerial camera it is no longer necessary to fly over the territory to be photographed. Using a technique of “peripheral photography." the cameras could easily take pictures covering the 80- mile width of Cuba. Synchronized with these forward-pointing cam- eras are others pointing obliquely and directly downward. From these banks of cameras used in modern reconnaissance planes comes a ser- ies of photographic mosaics, each covering hundreds of square miles. In analyzing the pictures, the interpreters use mechanical aids. such as magnification of various parts of a photograph. or microscopic lenses that give a stereoscopic dimension of the pictures. But be- yond the really discernible. the clues in Cuban pictures came in different. ways, such as a rocket tail ring once seen on a rocket paraded through Red Square or a new scar on the earth. This technique of looking for changes in a. sequence of photo- graphs was used to spot both the IL-28 jet bombers and the inter- mediate range ballistic missile bases.

Tremendous Program

While world attention centres on the European Common Market's im- pressive growth. other changes are taking place as a result of this unique movement. Uniform Patent and bankruptcy laws, a unified transportation investment policy and a single fuels policy are being pre- pared. A job-retaining program has been started for workers in indus- tries hurt by internal tariff costs.

The Community has its own executive branch, its own courts of justice, its own European parlia- ment with advisory powers. It even has independent diplomatic contacts with the United States and 29 other nations, which have accredited dip- lomatic missions directly to the organization.

The creation of the Comm on Market. which has forced Britain to discard the centuries old tradition of isolation from the continent and seek entry. has brought neutrals to the door’ as well. It has produced vital changes in American trade policies. Even the Soviets are 13111’)- licly showing concern about its ef- fects on the Communist. bloc.

All this within the four .V.'€-31‘-‘ and seven months since the Treaty of Rome officially took effect. join- ing 167 million Frenchmen, West Germans. Italians. Belgians. Luxem- bourgers and Nelherlanders in a new alliance. The treaty originally pro- vided 8. transition period of 15 years to ease the impact of a new common market on the six economies; but this schedule already has been am celerated.

The movement is destined. If it grow on. to make wars as outmoded as tariffs among the nations sub- scribing to it. That. at least, is how the founders have planned it. They now have a school—-not far from the famous battlefield of Waterloo near Brussels—-that moulds‘ “Euro- peans”. teaching its 1.150 pupils to speak four languages fluently by the time they have reached the high school stage. and drawing their countries into new unities.

FAIRY TALE CASTLES

Ludwig’s Follies Turned Into Profit

National Geographic News Bulletin

The fairy - tale castles of Ba- vai-ia‘s King Ludwig II. on ce thought to be the region‘: great- est wnite elephants, have prov- en one of its greatest assets.

I. ' n e r h of, Neuschwan- stein. and Herrenchiemsee. built In thc century. were long considered the useless and ex- travagant fantasies of a mad-

man.

Yet the three castles. turned into museums. have paid for themselves many times over by attracting visitors to southern Germany.

PATRON OF WAGNER

Ludwig reigned from 1864 to 1886. A bachelor king. he never intended his castles to be used as residences. He held no state diitnc-rs or receptions. and re- ccived few guests. As visitors were not expected to spend the night. two of the castles have only one bedroom.

The young king was the friend and patron of Richard Wagner. and his palaces uniquely express his passion for the ma believe world or the master's operas.

Linderhof has _an artificial grotto in which Ludwig rowed in a gilded shell-shaped boat. There are stalactites and ti luminous rainbow apparition. A gigantic wall painting embellished wit h cherubs and fairies depicts Act I of Tannhauser.

His ornate oak bed at Linder- hof reputedly took 17 men more than four years car e. A peacock-shaped headboard w a ti made of enameled zinc plates studded with colored Bohemian

The whIte-marb-

fantasy--was dreamed up by a Munich stage designer, Chris- tian Jank.

The Iavishness of Herrenchle- rrsce. 60 miles from Munich, staggers the visitor of today just as it did the taxpayer of Lud- wig‘: time. It has been describ- ed as zr “hyperthyroid version of Versailles with more gilt. glit-

Fcirm Implement Act

Globe and Mail, Toronto

The Ontario Federation of Agriculture is demanding a Farm Machinery Act which will license and regulate Implement dealers in the province and re- quire manufacturers to estab- lish parts and repair depots and services.

In the days when the grain binder was horse-drawn a de- vice for tying the binder twine around the sheaves of grain was not to difficult to repair a n d implement dealers usually had a supply of the "knotters" and the know-how to Install them.

When a corn binder needed a new set of carrier chains, a side delivery rake needed new teeth or a mower a new cutting blade they were as attainable as the nearest Implement shop.

Now that farms have become highly mechanized by virtue of farm work. there is re die it] change in the implement repair situation according to the OFA. If a combine costing ii consider- able sum of money breaks down on Friday before a long holi-

day weekend. the farmer must wait until the middle of th e next week for essential parts.

The numbers of power- driv- en units on farms has Increased amazingly in recent years. To meet the competition and the demand It would appear that responsible manufacturers are seeking to build as much qual- ity into their product as the market will take.

Farmers cannot all afford the Cadillac of combines. Nor can the manufacturers build into their machines an assurance of proper care of them. Protection

om the elements proper oper- ation over furrowed fields. lib eral lubrication and other pre- ventive maintenance procedures are as important with farm machines as with a fleet. of trucks. -

The farm implement people might take a leaf from the au- tomotive industry's books and establish co-operative parts and service centres. That might eliminate the need for a Farm Machinery Act.

The United Nations assembly is gaining on the congress of the United States In a race to take over the title of the talklngest deliberative body on earth.

The word count isn't complet- ed for the congressional session that just ended. But in the pre- ceding session the two houses filled 20.244 pages of the Con- gressional Record with speech- es and reports over a tie of 147 legislative days. That didn't count 7,873 pages In the appen-
