Views on Red China

In Fairfax County high
schools there are numerous
extra curricular clubs and
committees available to any
student wishing to further his
education. Here is an account
OF a joint meeting. of units
from several schools, of the
Northern Virginia Discussion
League" held on February %
at George Mason High School.
My son, a junior and a par
ticipant. was dismissed for
three class periods to attend
the meeting.
After the hundred or so stu
dents assembled they were di-
vided into groups. each of
which was to discuss one of
ten topics on the Near East.
Each student had previously
had a topic assigned him for
research.
My sons group of about IL
began discussion Of THE
Two Chinas; a Council Seat at
Stake" There was no orderly
presentation Of facts. no lead
ership, no respect for opposite
viewpoints. no respect for the
common courtesieS of discus
sion. The consensus of opin-
ion" reported later to the as
sembly, favoring admission of
Red China to United Nations.
was based on the following
amazing arguments:
/. Red China is less corrupt
than Nationalist and should
be seated. probably should re-
place them on the Security
Council.
2. Communism was voted in
some 10 years ago. represents
half a billion people, therefore
should be recognized.
3. The Chinese are machines.
living only to eat and sleep.
Will always have to be under
a dictatorship. Communism is
the only form of government
able to take care Of so many
people.
4. We try to remake nations;
Russia accepts them for what
they are.
5. The Red revolution that
took China was for democratic
principles just as was our
own American Revolution.
6. The American Legion
magazine, which carried a re-
cent article listing the facts
against admission of Red
China to U. N, is too biased
to have any attention paid it.
Z. Reds should have killed
more than twenty million Chi
nese; less mouths to feed.
3. The facts that Red China
fought U. N. forces on Korea,
is still technically at war with
the U. NJ, killed 10000 Ameri-
can boys on Korea; that the
U. S. Congress has opposed
recognition Of Red China for
5 years; that although Britain
Immediately recognized Red
China she lost her possessions
there; all these facts have no
bearing on the issue. We must
admit Red China because she
is so big. The u. N. must rep
resent all the world.

Sign of Spring
Every year. new rules!

Every year, new rulesl
The pitcher in baseball is
now required to deliver the
ball to the batter within 20
seconds after he steps ON the
mound with the ball in his pos
session, else a ball will be called
for each violation. They tell
US the rule will really be en-
forced. But how?
A device known as the Audi
optomat has been on the
market for a decade or more.
Until now there has been no
demand for it. But hereafter
every up-to-the-minute ball
park must Of necessity install
at least one of these contrap-
tons. This Audioptomat, or
Tommy for short. will indicate
to the eye and ear Of everyone
within the park when the
pitcher is subject to the PEN
atty Of having a "ball" called
because Of nonfeasance on the
mound.
This instrument consists of
a circular light, "a inches in
diameter. attached to the
scoreboard. 1t is operated by
push buttons located in the
press box. When no time limit
is involved in the play. a steady
emerald green light would be
given of by the Tommy. At
the same time, a constant
single tone in c major would
be heard throughout the park.
With a runner or runners on
base, the tone would be G ma
jor: the color. mauve. After
the pitcher had held the ball
for is seconds. the color would
shift to saffron yellow: the
tone would become A fiat mi
nor. Five more seconds and
the color would become cerise,
the tone F sharp major, and
the voice on the scoreboard
would call ball" thus reliev-
ing the umpire of that contro-
versial duty. The official would
merely turn the thumbscrews
on his indicator to add one
more ball to the count pre-
viously shown.
The great advantage in the
use Of the Tommy is that it
will provide three deserving
persons with fascinating and
lucrative jobs throughout the
season. Far removed from all
useless pickering. they will
have a startling 's-eye view of
the struggle below. And what
a feeling Of satisfaction will be
theirs as they realize that they
were the ones who added color
and tone to the sporting event
Of the day!

of the physical mysteries of

Joining lands at the top of the
world. The work will be q
counterpart to-and in many
ways as significant as-the
more publicized program in
the less known Antarctic.
Naturally the northern ma
tions with lands bordering on
the Arctic are taking the lead.
Russia will maintain AZ sta

ipating in the program will be
England, Sweden, Finland, Ice

United States stations, 81 will
be set up. or are already in
operation, in Alaska and the
Aleutians. Two will be drifting
stations on ice islands in the
Arctic pack. Others will be on
shipboard and others main

other countries, chiefly Canada
and Denmark.
One Main Objective
The two North American
countries have co-operated
closely in Arctic research since
the last war and have shared
airfields, weather obServatories
and various defensive posi-
tons. Close cooperation with
Denmark in Greenland will be
continued.
A major objective of all the
stations, especially the Amer
lean. will be study of the still
mysterious green-silk, rustling
northern lights. 1t is desired
to ascertain how these differ
in strength with changing
conditions on the face of the
sun. and whether there is an
intense inner zone around the
magnetic pole.
Cameras will be set up to
photograph the entire sky
periodically throughout each
night, at a rate of about once

Mr.. Richards Mission

Former Congressman James p Rich
ards has not exaggerated in declaring
that his mission to the tense Middle East
sis going to be rugged" AS the Presi-
dents special representative, with the
rank of ambassador, he will spend the
next two months visiting perhaps as
many as 10 countries primarily for the
purpose of explaining what the United
States hopes to accomplish with the So
called Eisenhower doctrine. Above all, he
will seek to win as much Arab support
as possible for the doctrines projected
program of aid and cooperation.
The programs chief objective, Of
course, is to head off the danger of Soviet
penetration and ultimate domination of
the entire Middle East. Accordingly, with
5000 million already available for alloca-
ton, our country is prepared to extend
economic and other forms of assistance
to any nations in the area requesting and
needing it to strengthen their economies
and their political independence In addi-
ton, as made clear in the Joint con-
greSSional resolution on the subject, such
nations, If they are threatened with overt
Communist aggression, can count on get
ting American armed help If they ask
for it.
Ambassador Richards may be re-
ceived cordially enough by all the Arab
governments as he undertakes to discuss
these matters with them. But only three
-Iraq, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia-have
thus far Endorsed the Eisenhower doc
trine or shown an active and affirmative
interest in it. Among the others, Syria
seems to have rejected it completely,
while reactions in Jordan and Egypt
nave been less than enthusiastic, ranging
from lukewarm official curiosity to open
hostility in some Of the press So not
the least rugged feature of Mr.. Richards
task will be the problem of countering
Soviet propaganda and clearing the air Of
suspicious and misconceptions regarding
the Presidents proposals. Unless he can
succeed in that, the programs effective
ness Is bound to suffer for want of suffi-
c1ent support from the countries of the
area.
That is why President Eisenhower
has made a special point of emphasizing
that he regards the Richards mission
"aS an essential and important first step
IN carrying out the policies set forth in
the joint resolution. AS those policies are
based on the concept of cooperation, and
as the assistance contemplated by the
resolution will be extended only in
response to requests from Middle East
ern governments, we must achieve the
greatest possible measure of under
standing and recognition of common
interests with the area governments
and their peoples"
This is something that may be more
easily said than done. But Mr. Richards
experience as Democratic chairman Of
the House Foreign Affairs Committee
should help him in the job. He brings
to it, as the President has said, "the in
tegrity, ability and sound judgment that
have marked his long and distinguished
career in public life" Certainly, as he
heads now for the Middle East, he can
be sure that his country's best wishes go
with him

verse was taken up as a sort

were repeating it.
