Prof. Helvey Says U.S. Losing Race
(Continued from Page 1)
"The pilot would be risking his life. That is true. But he could compute, adjust, send his machine into orbit, and then attempt to return it safely. This risk must be taken."
Prof. Helvye said it would be better to risk a little bloodshed now than to just wait for World War III, which Russia will be ready for by 1964 at the present pace of the arms race.
"If we don't catch them by 1964 we may never catch them," he said.
Prof. Helvey suggested a concentrated bi-partisan propaganda campaign to show America the danger she is in and to whip up public pressure for a crash program to escape this mortal danger.
"It is ridiculous, childish and naive to believe the Russians would
not attack us if they felt they could do it successfully," he said.
"We are not in the horse and buggy days now. This is no quick draw contest. We cannot say, 'If you hit me first, I'll hit you bigger and better.' We may never have the chance to draw or to hit back."
Prof. Helvey said the rivalry among the armed forces, which has been criticized for its waste and duplication of efforts, has been an excellent and typically democratic way of increasing efficiency in the space program.
"The competition has caused extra effort," said Prof. Helvey. "The duplication, instead of being complete waste, often has verified the precarious findings of one group after another group has reached the same answers."
Missouri Paper Backs Symington
INDEPENDENCE, Mo.—(UPI)—The Independence Examiner in a front-page editorial today announced Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo) as its presidential choice in 1960.
T. Hall Collinson, editor and publisher of the Examiner, said the newspaper wanted to be one of the first, if not the first, to support Symington publicly.
The Examiner supported Eisenhower in 1952, but announced no choice in 1956.
The editorial today said in part:
Items for the Official Bulletin must be brought to the public relations office, 222-A Strong, before 9:30 a.m. on the day of publication. Do not bring Bulletin to the Daily Kansan. Notices should include name, place, date, and time of function.

Miss Kansas Aids March of Dimes
Sharon Whitacre, Mission freshman and Miss Kansas of 1958, has been appointed state teenage chairman for the 1959 March of Dimes campaign.
Miss Whitacre has made radio and television appearances throughout the state as a part of the January national campaign.
"The new National Foundation program will place emphasis on four fields other than paralytic polio," Miss Whitacre stated.
"Since the advent of the Salk vaccine and with it the assurance of a victory over paralytic polio, we are also dealing with birth defects, arthritis, virus diseases, and disorders to the central nervous system," she said.
The teenage March of Dimes campaign is a comparatively new phase of the national campaign. It was started five years ago.
Miss Whitacre will help launch the KU campaign when she assists in the Mothers March later this month. She said that she thought that Lawrence mothers would try to get better campus participation this year.
In order to publicize the campaign there will be over 1,900 fashion shows throughout the nation this
1959 License Tags Must Be Registered
Joe Skillman, campus police chief, reminded students and staff today that 1959 license numbers must be reported to the Parking and Traffic office in Hoch Auditorium within 48 hours after the new tags are acquired.
"The state law requires that all students and staff members must report their new numbers to this office, or tickets will be given for violations." Chief Skillman said.
Failure to report may void registration for the rest of the school year.
month. Miss Whitacre will appear in a fashion show at the Wichita Municipal Auditorium Jan. 31.
"Blue crutch lapel pins, a part of the Blue Crutch campaign, have been effective methods of starting the March of Dimes campaign," Miss Whitcore said.

"The Kansas City-Wichita areas have been very well covered," she added.
Miss Whitaere attended the March of Dimes program launching coffee given by Mrs. George Docking at the governor's mansion in December.
