...confidence of the smaller nations, already shaky in the wake of Soviet technological advances, could be greatly bolstered by giving them possession of nuclear secrets. As President Eisenhower noted in his speech of several weeks ago, our enemies already know these "secrets," and in some cases have improved on them. The United States is only depriving itself of possible further advances by its allies by denying them access to nuclear information.

Washington, D.C. has no commercial field adequate for large-volume jet traffic, and no prospect of one until the President recommends and Congress authorizes a new field, probably at nearby Burke, Va. Chicago's tiny (1 sq. mi.) Midway Field was originally built for the canvas-covered planes of 1927; today it is the world's busiest airport, and far behind the times. While Chicago has put $25 million into its new O'Hare Field, 15 miles from the Loop...
