Already hotting up is a major debate over the adequacy of the Eisenhower Administration defense programs to cope with the dangers of the coming "missile gap" (TIME, Feb. 8). Nixon defends the Administration program with no sign of misgivings. Among the Democratic hopefuls, Texas' Lyndon Baines Johnson and Missouri's Stuart Symington have hammered hardest at the missile gap, but Massachusetts' John Fitzgerald Kennedy has been frankest in facing the prospect that more defense might cost more money. The nation must increase the "portion of our national resources" devoted to missile programs, he says. Symington, Harry Truman...
Just about everybody in both parties-even the farmer himself-agrees that federal farm programs have become intolerably expensive (cost in fiscal 1959: $7 billion). But none of the presidential hopefuls have as yet come out with a convincing agenda for cleaning up the mess. Humphrey has unveiled a four-point "charter of hope for agriculture," and Kennedy and Symington have outdone him with rival six-point programs, but all three programs are short on specifics. Johnson says that "American ingenuity should be equal to the task" of channeling surplus food to "those who need it," but his own ingenuity...
Democrats will doubtless try to make an issue out of the Administration's reluctance-stronger in Ike's second term than in his first-to spend federal money for state and local projects such as public housing, urban renewal, programs to aid depressed areas.

If Ike vetoes them. Democrats can point to the vetoes. The need for state and local public works is undeniable-the big-city...
Noted for its science shows, the station is just as active in other fields: Japanese art, political debates, classical concerts and live jazz. It has the only full local news-analysis program of any San Francisco TV station; last summer it trained a sharp-eyed camera on Visitor Nikita Khrushchev. For 5,500 subscribers, the price ($10 minimum) is cheap. On KQED, the viewer can learn anything from how to bid in bridge to foreign cultural habits. And in the works are new riches: a series on photography by Old Pro Ansel Adams, another on the roots of Communism...
...Crash Programs. Human contraband, says Author Terrot, was appallingly easy to smuggle out of the country. Small children were frequently doped and shipped across in coffins provided with air holes. Many of the teen-age victims, believing themselves bound for a pleasant position on the Continent, went willingly. The unwilling victim was first "broken in" at the London clearinghouse, where she was brainwashed by a covin of resident witches who subjected her to a crash program of sex education. If she did not cooperate, she did not eat. Then, auctioned off in Brussels or Antwerp, then the chief centers...
