Long Road Ahead

Secretary Dulles did an admirable
Job Of putting the diplomatic cards on the
table in his report to the people on the
Geneva conference.
1t was report which made no at
tempt to hide his own disappointment or
to gloss over the negative outcome Of the
discussions among the foreign ministers.
It was report which laid bare the harsh
outlines Of the dif1culties which bar the
path to agreement with the Russians.
And, finally, It was report which firmly
declared the American purpose to press
on, despite setbacks and discouragements,
IN the search for an acceptable formula
for peace.
Why did the Russians refuse to agree
to anything at Geneva? Mr.. Dulles very
candidly set forth the three basic reasons.
/. For the Soviets to agree to the
reunifcation of Germany on the basis Of
free elections would mean the end OF the
puppet regime set up by the Russians In
East Germany. This, In turn, would ali
most certainly have serious repercussions
upon the other satellite countries OF East
ern Europe.
2. The Russians would welcome
some disarmament but they do not want
an adequate inspection system because
this would open up their society which Is
still largely based on secretiveness.
s. For similar reasons all of our pro-
poSals for freer exchanges between East
ana West were rejected by the Soviet del
egation. In Mr.. Dulles words, ut abb
horred the introduction into the Soviet
bloc OF thoughts which might be con-
trary to the official doctrine Of the Soviet
Communist Party"
If one tries to look at this matter
through Communist eyes it Is not difficult
to understand why they fear agreement
They think that agreement might en-
danger their own regime, and conditions
are not yet such as to persuade them that
the advantages Of agreement are greater
than the risks Of disagreement.
But as Mr. Dulles said, conditions will
change, because change Is the law OF life.
With all their ruthlessness, the Soviets
are not going to be able to maintain the
status quo forever. Changes viii come,
and If we OF the West remain strong and
united those changes can be made to
work for peace In the best sense Of that
word. t. .s.a -
That is why we must keep on trying.
That is why the President was so wholly
right In saying that no obstacle is going
to deter US in the search for decent
peace, that lin striving toward this shin
ing goal, this country will never admit
defeat"
It is going to take long time and a
sustained effort. Before this administra-
ton came to power, 1t was being said. and
correctly so, that we faced 20 or 80 years
of struggle in this theological contest. IT
Is still true that we are looking down a
long, long road But we must take It, for
there Is no other.

Good and Bad Russions

In the United States. No
yember "a win be Thanksgiv-
ing Day. In Soviet Russia it
will be just one, more mean
ingIess day of underpaid
drudgery for the workers;
and, for their children, an
other day Of reciting party
slogans In the Communist
schools where they are being
educated for similar enslave-
i11ent.
Under present conditions
any such observance as our
Thanksgiving Day is impossi-
BILE In Russia. First, no Rus
slams have anything to be
thankful for. And, secondly.
even II there were anything to
be thankful for, few Russians
would dare admit that they
have One to whom to give
thanks, since neither God nor
religion has party approval.
In fact, quite the contrary is
true as evidenced by the recent
words Of Nikita Khrushchev:
"We remain atheist and we
do everything we can to lib
crate q certain part Of the
people from the opium at
traction Of religion that still
exists"
Harsh as is this statement.
It contains one cheering fact.
This Is the admission by the
Communist Party boss that
the attraction Of religion still
exists" in the Soviet. In the
steadfast Russians who still
cling to God In the face Of
ruthless disapproval lies great
hope. Like the martyrs Of an
earlier era Of brutality. their
godliness cannot help but ia
vorably affect those around

A pair Of apparently unre-
lated reports appeared In The
Star on November 81, 1905,
one from Cambridge. Mass.
and one from the White House.
That from Cambridge ap-
peared on the first page, and
declared: "As the result of his
strenuous contest in the Yale
Harvard freshman game Sat-
urday, Theodore Roosevelt, jr,

operation on his nose. which
was broken in one of the
scrimmages. The operation,
which. while painful, is not
dangerous and win be per-
formed by q Boston specialist

made the target for the Yale
line and was badly battered"
On an inside page. another
item appeared, that one re-
sulting from q talk between
Theodore Roosevelt, sr., and
DR.. j. William White, profess
sor Of surgery at the Univer-
sity Of Pennsylvania and a
member Of the university's
Committee on Athletics. After
. visit to the White House,
DR.. White told reporters: "As

AS he reflects upon the re-
action to his now formally an
nounced presidential candi-r
dacy, Adlai z. Stevenson must
be somewhat confused. For it
has by no means been unan-
imouS. even In his own party.
Undoubtedly, he is now the
foremost Democrat reaching
for the Democratic nomina-
ton. But then he was that
long before he gave out his
statement. It has not changed
the situation in the, least. 1t
told neither his friends nor
his foes anything they did not
know before.
OF course. it must be q per-
sonal relief to him not to
have longer to pretend that he
has no aspirations for the
presidency and to seem watt
ing for d "draft" that clearly
was not going to rnaterialize.
To be sure. this involved q cer-
tain amount Of fourfushing
and double talk. which was
unpleasant to some Of his more
sincere friends and was grow
ing increasingly boring to the
general public. Now, that
stage is happily over and Mr..
Stevenson has advanced to
that other stage Of an open
candidate who does not have
to pretend any more. At least
that is what he had hoped.
Advisers Can't Agree
But it has not developed
quite that way. At the mo-
ment. Mr.. Stevenson's closest
friends and advisers are sharp
ly divided In their counsel as
70 the type OF campaign ne
should adopt. One set insists
that all he need do is to be his
own intellectual, highminded
self" They want him again to
be the gay. jocular campaigner
he was In 1852, to put on q
good show and ridicule the
Eisenhower record and pro-
gram. That is "the stun to
feed the troops" That will
bring out the crowds and
kindle the needed enthusiasm.
Another group Of intimates
totally disagrees. They want
Mr.. Stevenson to conduct his
campaign with dignity and
good taste. They point out
that what they feel was too
much jocularity in 1852 earned
Mr.. Stevenson the nickname Of
the Little Joker" which did
him no good whatever any

ourselves to God to be used

Winters Mantle

Winter dealt the Capital q
warning blow on November 90,
1905. and The Star that day
reported: "a brisk fall Of snow
greeted the army Of govern
ment employees this morning
on the way from homes to
their places of business. The
fall began shortly before 8
O'Clock, the multitude Of flakes
giving the appearance of a
mid-winter storm. The snow
quickly melted, however, on
reaching the ground, and at
the weather bureau but one
hundredth of an inch of pre-
cipitation was recorded. Ask
ed the cause of the sudden
snowfall, Prof. Garrett, one of
the official weather prophets,
said to a Star reporter this
afternoon it was due to a sud-
den northeast breeze which
sprang up and sent the tenn
perature quickly down from SO
to 80 degrees tthe freezing
point. a fall Of six degrees in
q very short space of time"
On the same day The Star
commented editorially, "The

sity Of finding some means for

'mand for steels and non-ferrous
metals today sent the stock mar

Trading expanded sharply.
Gains ran to / to around 3

The move into new high
ground came after the United
Auto Workers and Ford arrived

terday.
Today General Motors sought
agreement, and the steel indus
try aimed to work out contract
on what was described as a

Chemicals maintained good
