Mr.. Adams to give political

It is very different. Of

Alaska Span CoIIopses

port when the shale crumbled
beneath a 25.000-ton anchor
block, the north span Of the S4-

into the Peace River yesterday.
No one was injured as 5000
persons watched the 465-foot

tremendous roar. seven hours
after engineers had noticed
that the northern anchor was
sinking.

A political earthquake has

and IN the 1860 presidential

Solution to Free World Problems Seen
In Closer Alignment With Allies

When the American and
the British governments de-
cided early this year that a
visit by Queen elizabeth
might improve relations be-
tween the United States and
the British Commonwealth.
nobody thought that II would
occur at q time Of the most
severe crisis in modern times.
The visit was contemplated
as one Of those hands-across-
the-sea affairs without con-
siderable political iff1plica-
tons. It was to be especially
q sop for the people Of the
United Kingdom. who blamed
the United States for the
failure OF the Franco-Brit-
ish-Israeli expedition against
Egypt's dictator Nasser.
Queen Elizabeths visit a.
the present iuncture assumes.
however, much more signifi-
canoe. It is true that she can
provide only charm and good
will. She is. like the rest Of
the European royalty, only
a reignine. not a ruling, SOW
ereign.
But accompanying the
Queen is Foreign Minister
Selwyn Lloyd. who has poll
teal powers. Last Tuesday
he spent several hours
closeted with Secretary Dull
les discussing. II Is reliably
said. the situation In the Mid
die East and Russia's new
aggressive diplomacy in that
area as well as in Europe.
From the few available
leaks, 1t appears that both
secretaries agreed that Com
rade Khrushchev has become
far more aggressive than the
unlamented Joseph Stain.
In Stains lifetime the West-
ern alliances were more solid
and Americas relative power
OF retaliation far greater than
they are now. The two lead
ing nations Of the western
world allowed themselves to
be fooled by Khrushchev's
apparent good nature and his
rnountebank performances at
state visits such as in Bel
grade, London and other
capitals. He did not give the
impression Of solid Oriental
ruthlessneSs that Stain
created when he met with
American Presidents and
British prime ministers. The
personality of the new dicta-
tor Of the USSR. coupled
with the reported internal
difficulties he was allegedly
encountering in his own
country as well as among
the satellites. caused the
United States and its West
ern allies to let down the
guard.
Today we are all faced with
the cold fact that unless we
wake up from our pleasant
slumber we may see the
USSR overtake the West
in all military and political
fields and reach its goals
OF world domination without
firing q single shot.
The shrewd Stain obtained
such victories in Europe and
in Asia. But every time he
was confronted with a show
down with America. as in
Berlin in l94S or in Korea
two years later. he decided
that discretion was the bet
ter part Of valor. viii Khru-
