The changing habits of home
budgets seem to be pushing
charge-acCount andj instaiimont
buying into old strongholds of
cash-and-carry. Early in 1958,
the J. C. Penney Company plans
to test credit sales in a few of its
1,700 stores, and W. T. Grant ia
putting an installment credit plan
into 86 new stores this year,
bringing its chatn of 699 into the
plan, first tested on a pilot-basis
in Atlanta, Ga., in 1946, and
gradually extended to other
stores and regions.

OW that the newness has worn a
bit, it seems that the effects
of the sputniks can be somewhat
evaluated. About the only thing
the Russians could have done to
stir up more world excitement
than they created with the sput
niks would have been to declare
war on somebody.
One assumption is probably
worth the making. The Russians
used the launching of the sateilites
to impress both friend and enemy
with the strides they have made
and are making in the missiles
Held. Whether or not the United
States is capable of launching a
similar satellite became a side
issue after Sputnik No. 1. The Rus-
sians were there. "Hrstpst, with
the mostest."
It is interesting to note however,
that some of our activities with
missiles subsequently received a
bit more publicity than they had
been getting pre-sputniks, which
might lead to speculation that
strict security has kept us from
knowing just how well our own
program compares with that of the
Russians. Some facts do stand out.
Our leaders knew that the Rus-
sians would launch their ilrst sat-
ellite during the International Geo-
physical Year, yet this led to no
apparent all-out effort to beat
them to the punch.
While it is interesting to note
that the Russian successes have
impressed our military leaders
and. scientists, it is equally im-
portant that they have shown no
signs of panic. Concern, perhaps,
but no panic. Our military leaders
have asked for a speedup of our
missiles program; scientists are
advocating greater use of scienti-
fic advisory committees and re-
appraisal of our instructional and
research activities in the Held of
science. These actions were to be
expected.
It could well be possible that the
arrival of the sputniks signalled
the end of the emphasis of the
"cold war" of political maneuver-
ing and propaganda and the arriv-
al of a scientific war. The cold
war must continue, of course, but
its importance is at the moment
somewhat diminished. The eyes
and the attention of the world
have become focused on the once-
imaginary and unattainable world
(or worlds) that we cannot see.
Our scientists believe that this
nation can keep pace with, or sur-
pass the Russians, If we move
wisely and promptly. If we are to
do this, they add. we must have a
unity of action and we must make
major reforms in the Held of ed-
ucation, both in the manner of
training our youth and in the public's
attitude toward, and support of,
education.
This is certain: our future must
be carefully charted. If we are
far behind the Russians in mis-
sile work, we must catch up—and
pass—them. Yet. at the same
time, we must be effecting a long-
range program that will put and
keep us out front scientiHcally.
This is the thinking of some of
our foremost scientists.
The achievements yet to be
made in the Held of science will
amaze us as much as the machine
age amazed our forefathers. The
Russians have sent forth a chal-
lenge with their sputniks. We must
meet that challenge, not by fol-
lowing in their steps with r. similar
satellite, but by initiating a proi
gram designed to surpass their*
every effort. World leadership, and
perhaps more important, world
peace, hangs in the balance.
