Communist Party Secre-

issued a joint declaration in
Rangoon demanding For

China. The occasion was the
ceremonial departure of MI.
Khrushchev and Mr.. Bulganin
from Burma, after a seven
day visit during which the
once-jovial Soviet bosses used
every possible opportunity to
attack the West.
The Russian party then re-
turned to India on their South
Asian tour. Only last week,
these apostles Of Communist
imperialism had stirred up a
bitter mess Of pottage over the
Goa problem. certainly a mat
ter far outside the proper in
terests Of visiting heads Of
foreign states. That Red out
burst promptly precipitated a
war of words between the
Portuguese and the Indians,
with American Secretary Of
State Dulles unfortunately in
volved when he talked with
the Portuguese Foreign Min
lister, Paulo Cunha, who is now
visiting here.
There is. of course, nothing
new in the Vaccinations of in
ternational communism bend
ing every effort to stir UP
troubled waters. But there is
a great deal new in. the spec
tacle of the apparently top
deck rulers Of the Commu-
mist dictatorship in Russia
doing their stirring openly.
and what's even worse, using
their privileged sanctuary as
honored guests in foreign
lands as a sounding board for
their evil words.
What seems most important
for the West just now is to be
alert to the plain meanings be-
hind these unheard-of provo
cations. The Khrushchev and

more than underline the death

a very short warning to get out

mean not only dispersal within

around the globe?
"A. Yes. as part Of our COL
lective security arrangements.
@. In the old days, when
ever the enemy engaged In a
military mobilization, 1t was
SO obvious to the other side in
advance that they began their
attack the moment the mobili-
cation began. Is there a COM
parable circumstance possible
with modern aerial combat?
"a. I don't think so, no, I
don't look for any great mo-
bilization in a future war. I
think it is entirely possible for
the decision to be rendered be-
fore you can mobilize anything
in the way of manpower or
equipment"
Here, therefore, is the mill
tary answer to the Molotov
proposal for handling disarma-
ment by inspecting concentra-
ton points. Gen. LeMay went
further when asked whether a
disarmament agreement ban
ming nuclear weapons might
lead to the abolition Of war.
He replied:
Every thinking person be-
lieves that war Is foolish. I do
not think the problem Of war
will be solved readily by abol-
ishing just one type Of weapon.
II it is to be solved through
disarmament, all weapons
would seemingly have to be
abolished"

A. Energy Poo.
By the Associated Press

The United States has made 1t
known it would be inclined to.
back a move by six Western
European countries to set up an
international atomic energy pool.
The State Department has
notified i~nquiring Europeans
that 1t would consider making
available uranium and technical
assistance to such a project, If
it was aimed at promoting more
indignation of western Europe.
Such an atomic pool is being
urged by European statesmen
such as Belgium's Foreign Min
lister Paul Henri Spaak and
Frances Jean Monnet, who was
formerly the head Of the Euro
pean Steel and Coal Community.
This plan has been put for

Nothing's So Broadening as Travel,
206 Congressman Could Testify

AS all reporters know, there
Is nothing so broadening as
travel on an expense account.
The difference between the
press and junketing Congress-
men is that reporters employ
ers get a look at their expense
accounts. a privilege denied the
United States voter.
This is the primary reason
that congressional %junketeers
are regarded satirically and
even with suspicion, but they
stick close to their own YER
sion Of the iron curtain.
Junketeers use Government
transport. They spend con-
gressional and counterpart
funds, the latter being foreign
currencies set aside for United
States spending by nations
receiving United States aid.
Junketeers free-load on United
States diplomats, while their
passion for bazaars and bar
gains is an international leg
end from the Aleutians to
Mozambique. Often members
Of their families accompany
them.
Then when they come home
they get the courtesy Of the
port. That Is. unlike you and

sumably their congressional
committees exact some form of
expense account for commit
tee funds spent.
These committees, however,
have a Fort Knox of some kind
for such potentially infiamma-
BILE material because the rest
Is silence. No member Of Con-
gress has had the nerve to

In the days when only a few
Of the acknowledged big wheels

phony booby-trap has been
deader than the dodo bird
these many weeks. The Soviet
chief conspirators have not
only abandoned the false ge-
niality and festive approaches
Of last summer. but have
openly embarked on a system
attic series of provocations OBJ
viously planned to wreck the
chances Of any peaceful solu-
tons TO the pressing problems
Of Southeast Asia.
1t is significant that the Red
chieftains have made no Sc
cret of their disregard for the
feelings of their hosts in the
Asiatic nations they have Wis
tied. Nor have they been con-
cerned by the possible effects
their unbridled attacks were
likely to have on the existing
relations between the host ma
ton and the nations of the
free world. particularly the
United States and Britain.
The Khrushchev-B ulganin
game, very obviously, is to play
to the masses, to the bleachers
rather than the grandStand.
Their primary purpose is to
cast the West, and the United
States in particular, in the role
of colonial oppressor. of ex-
ploiter and bleeder, Of tyrant
and hated foreign master.
Thus the Rangoon an
nouncement on the cession Of
Formosa to Red China, and

need only such encouragement
as this to renew and step up
their campaign against the

elements in India hardly need
more excuse than they have
had to launch a new campaign
against Portuguese Goa.

that a major battle Of the

THE socialists want a

That's what is back Of the
Dixon-Y Yates controversy.
That's all there is to the
struggle for Federal power
development on the Snake
River where private capitalism,
after authorization by this
administration has moved in
to do the job"
He's a bit mixed up there
and also revealing.
What was back of the Dixon
Yates controversy, to the con-
trary. was the attempt Of a
powerful private utility COM
bine, prompted and backed by
the Eisenhower administration.
to try to break into and destroy
a project established by Con-
gress-the TVA-which has
been a boon to a great region
and its people and its business
and industry. 1t is strange
that Secretary Weeks should
pick out Dixon Yates, which
admittedly has been a terrible
blunder from start to finish;
and furthermore the contract
was on terms so unfavorable
to the Government and tax
payers that 1t is a good bet
the Secretary never would have
stood for such In his private
business.
AS for the Snake River
which is Hells Canyon along

was a Republican President,
Theodore Roosevelt, who 48
years ago, by special order, set
aside that area as a national
