The article focuses on the reorganization of the U.S. National Security Council (NSC) under the presidency of Dwight David Eisenhower. The author provides an analysis on the performance of NSC under the administration of former president Harry S. Truman and identifies its weakness. Some of which is the informal nature of NSC proceedings during that time and that NSC had been always late in the policy-making process in matters concerning national security. But with the powerful tandem of Robert Cutler and Eisenhower, several significant changes occurred in the NSC. The NSC structure was strengthened and the Council mechanism was implemented for all major foreign and military policy-making.

Research sponsored by government has now reached major proportions and has general significance for higher education, for national security, and for free inquiry. This paper reports some results of an extended study conducted in the major research agencies of the federal government. Despite the distinctive character of research, the processes of administering contract and grant research parallel those identified for other types of activities. The relative newness of these programs permits the study of administrative processes as they are developing. The specific processes involved in contract research administration are those of determining areas of research interest, evaluating and selecting proposals for support, negotiating and supervising research projects, and evaluating results.

The article presents discussion on multifarious and perplexing problems of national security in the U.S. Professor Kenneth E. Boulding makes an urgent plea for the development of a science of threat systems. His article provides a powerful stimulus and some indicated direction for such study. Professor Richard R. Nelson detailed analysis of the impact of arms reduction on Research and Development (R and D) is both worth while and comforting, worth while because of the dominant position of R and D in the nation's total R and D effort and comforting because of its conclusions that the impact of disarmament on R and D at the universities should not be particularly great and it is not likely that unemployment of scientists and engineers as a result of arms reduction will be more than a very short-run problem. The model developed by Nelson does indeed shed some light on the problem it attacks-by emphasizing its complexity and by calling attention to the number of factors which require consideration.

The article focuses on the concept of freedom of the press in relations to the case of the disclosure by the "New York Times" magazine of secret report on the involvement of the U.S. in Indochina. It states that the magazine disclosed excerpts of the report commissioned by Robert McNamanra in 1967-1968 as defence secretary, which shows that the government was much interested in their share of global power than the consequences for South Vietnamese. It says that the U.S. Government called to stop the publication which they argued could affect the national security and international relationship with other governments. However, the U.S. Supreme Court decided to allow the publication of other excerpts wherein the Supreme Court Justices argued that it is within the freedom of the press.

This article focuses on the Harris Survey after the U.S. Department of Defense's flurry in the summer of 1971 which revealed behind-scenes decisions in the making of the Vietnam war. For example, 70 percent agreed that if there was any doubt about violating the national security in publishing documents such as the Defense department's papers on the Far East, then the documents should not be published. But obviously the revelations were not widely judged dangerous, for 58 percent simultaneously agreed that in a democracy such as ours, it is necessary to tell people the truth about how we got into the war in Vietnam, even if it means top secret documents, as long as they are not about today's situation there. And although the public has never exhibited overweaning concern for freedom of the press, Harris further reported that 45 per cent were of the opinion that if a newspaper had to get permission from the government to print inside information, then the public would not be told the truth. This collection of questions reveals some facts about presidential administrations and the historical periods they encompassed. Before Vietnam none of the phraseology was in personal terms. Wording referred to the government, officials or just news about the war or foreign relations.

The article reports on the political developments that aroused after the emergence of Vietnam as a new nation. The new nation came into being on paper early in January, when accords signed almost one year earlier by French President Vincent Auriol and Emperor Bao Dai of Vietnam were ratified by the French Parliament. While the United States, Great Britain and other nations were preparing to grant full recognition to Bao Dai, their cold-war enemy acted too. Communist China, Russia and the satellite countries also recognize Vietnam. World Communism, which has such virile and expanding representation inside Vietnam, is of course the big threat to the security of the new French-backed government.

Less than a week after Adolf Hitler's surprise attack on Russia the German press began to beat the drums for the holy war against Bolshevism. The call was echoed in local Nazi papers all over Europe. Varying according to local temperament and circumstances, appeals of many kinds were used to arouse the crusading spirit. Wherever the Germans found that racial, social, or religious motives were insufficient to assure the success of the recruiting campaign they resorted to promises and threats. In occupied France, for example, the recruiting agents promised each man who joined the volunteer legion that one or more of his relatives held as prisoners of war would be set free.

The article presents information about a symposium on military operations research, held at the Fourteenth National Meeting of the Operations Research Society of America, in Saint Louis, Missouri, on October 23, 1958. Six papers were presented by the representatives of the six principal operations-research agencies of the national-defense establishments of the United States and Canada. Joseph H. Engel's "Operations Research for the U.S. Navy Since World War II," focuses on the U.S. Navy's operations-research program since World War II. Various conclusions have been extracted by several researches over the years shows that a group, which is centrally organized, can provide, with economy and little duplication, the continuity of leadership and experience to do useful operations research for a complex organizations such as the U.S. Navy on a continuing basis, and that such a central group has the flexibility to react properly emergencies. W.L. Whitson's "The Growth of the Operations Research Office in the U.S. Army," states that operations research had its formal initiation in the U.S. Army ten years ago with the formation of ORO at the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Massachusetts. At the present time the Chief of Research and Development of the Department of the Army spends about $11 million per year on operations-research type contracts with 25 to 30 different companies.

The article presents a discussion on difference between economic development in Japan and rest of Asia. Japanese ruling classes has been aware of dangers of colonial exploitation and strove consciously to avoid them. Japan alone among Asian nations had a strongly developed spirit of nationalism, economic as well as political, which led to government development of public utilities and industries connected with the national defense. Japan had a higher degree of geographic and governmental unity than other Asiatic nations. Japan had a strong internal government. The factors responsible for poverty in Southern Asia was lack of education, lack of health facilities, lack of industrialization, lack of awareness about other developed countries and many more. The evidence is clear that the Southeast in recent years has gained rapidly on the national avenge in such basic measures of economic welfare as per capita income, percentage of higher value-added industries, and percentage of the labor force with higher skills.

The article focuses on the development of civil defense in relation to American regions. In considering this development this article begins with three assumptions. First, it assumes that civil defense comprises a needed protection for communities during the nuclear age. A second assumption of this paper is that the regional approach to the study of civil defense is a valid, appropriate, and promising one to be used along with other approaches. Thirdly, this paper makes a pair of specific assumptions for practical working purposes, one applying to civil defense, the other to regions. In citing the development of civil defense activities it relies exclusively on the official data of the Federal Civil Defense Administration as published in its annual reports. By this study, authors' concluded that the need for civil defense protection varies considerably in the sense that some regions have far greater urban-industrial concentrations than others, and such concentrations would be expected to be the preferred targets of enemy attack; civil defense activities and accomplishments have also been shown to vary significantly according to regions.

The article focuses on the Nazi short-of-war attack on Sweden. Propaganda, military threats, extortion and the inside jobs of the fifth column are putting a heavy strain on Swedish neutrality and security. The most noticeable result of Nazi pressure thus far has been the stiffening spirit of resistance. After many months of ultra-caution in discussions of foreign policy, the Swedish press is now saying what it thinks; for the most part it is being courageously anti-Nazi and pro-British. The attempt to bring Sweden into the "new order" by a combination of blackmail and bribery is condemned by radical and conservative journals alike and even by some papers which until recently were at least pro-Nazi. Public sentiment has more than kept pace with the press.

The article presents information about political developments from various countries. The latest news from Paris has reached the outer world in a most extraordinary way. A member of the Government of National Defence M. Gambetta, was the bearer of it. A severe fight, south of Metz, took place on the 3rd, several brigades being engaged on both sides but the sortie accomplished nothing definite. The wounded French were left, intentionally, on the field. On the following days some fighting and cannonading was carried on around the northern fortifications. Stories of Prussian cruelty and depredations were for a while confined to the Paris papers, whose very extravagance and absurdity, however, rendered their charges harmless. Stories of Russia's preparing for an immediate attack on Turkey, which were put in circulation last week, have disappeared.

LEGAL judgments , *LAWYERS , *NATIONAL security , *CIVIL rights - Abstract
This article presents information on the history of cases in the U.S. Supreme Court. In Niemotko v. State of Maryland, the Court reversed a conviction, which had been based on a disorderly-conduct statute, noting that a permit system, for speeches in a public park, in the absence of definite standards, constitutes prior restraint on freedom of speech, press, and religion. This liberal approach was somewhat modified in U.S. v. Rabinowitz. Here the defendant was arrested with a proper warrant and the police then searched the one-room office and secured evidence. This the Court upheld as reasonable, since the room was open to the public, was under the control of the accused, and the search did not extend beyond this room used for unlawful purposes. Congress in 1954 passed an Immunity Act providing that whenever in the judgment of the United States Attorney the testimony of any witness or the production of books, papers, or other evidence by any witness in any case before any grand jury or court in the United States involving any interference with, or endangering of, the national security is necessary to the public interest, the District Attorney, upon the approval of the Attorney General, may make application to the Court for an order to the witness to testify.

The net social cost to the nation of the oil import quota system is estimated to be between one and four billion dollars annually. Quotas were originally instituted and now wholly justified on national security grounds. But an alternative program is available which offers both a known present degree of national security at lower cost and a higher degree of long-run national security. This paper presents the case for that alternative program. A major motive of the oil industry in pressing for import quotas, as for any industry asking for a restriction in competition, was to obtain a higher price for its domestic product. The import quota system limits imports into Petroleum Administration Districts I to IV. The import quota system fails in several respects as a solution to the national security problem. Given import restrictions, domestic prices of crude oil and finished petroleum products rise above their free market levels. High domestic crude oil prices lead producers to develop submarginal fields and continue to produce from inefficient wells.

In common with most economists, under conditions of full employment, or even in an economy characterized by a high-level, if less than full, employment, inflationary dangers are ever present; that these dangers are perhaps increased by the extent to which large and powerful labor organizations and corporations "determine" wages and prices; that the magnitude of our expenditures for national security--for defense and international aid--almost inevitably increase these dangers. Nor can one dispute the assumption that the problem with which we are concerned is not transitory. This is also generally recognized. The Committee for Economic Development in commenting on national security expenditures of about 20 billion. The level of tax rates required to sustain a 42 billion dollar budget is well within the economy's taxable capacity. Even a budget of 6 billion dollars above that amount should not produce an adverse effect upon incentives and investments. In brief, the size of national income of the U.S., present and prospective, indicates that people can support such outlays without serious injury to the market economy.

There seems to be no reason to suppose that the crime statistics published by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (F.B.I.) are an accurate measure of crime incidence. First, the crimes must be reported to the police. Whether people report crimes against property must be affected by their expectations that the police will recover their losses. Second, the crimes must be reported to the F.B.I. by the police. The degree of reporting is a convenient device available to a police administration to misrepresent the extent of criminal activity. For crimes against property there is an independent measure of the risk of crime; this is the premium rates on the various sublines of burglary insurance. A test of the accuracy of the statistics for crimes against property can be made by cross-sectional comparisons with the premium rates of insurance coverages. This paper reports the method and results of such a test; it considers some difficulties of the test and attempts to evaluate their importance.

The article focuses on the situation of the science education in the U.S. The reform movement to improve the teaching of science in the schools results from the awareness of the people of the basic role of science and technology in the present and future welfare and security of the free world. This reform movement in science has been confronted with the problem of modernizing the background preparation of the teachers of secondary education. Educational institutions in the state have felt a shortage of qualified instructors in the fields of science and engineering due to the attractive salaries available from the industry. The management of the industry have
