Teen Corner
By DICK CASTILOW

Despite the bad weather Friday
night there we're quite few mem
bers attending the Teen Club. The
Royales played the top tunes for
the dancing pleasure of all in at
tendance. We were honored with
the presence of many college stu
dents as well as those attending
prep schools. If any one would
have fallen or had an accident,
things would have been well taken
care of, for there was whole
table of nurses and student nurses.
These people may be a year or
two past their teen years, yet they
did enjoy themselves. Ladies, come
back again.
The top talent of the area will
be under one roof the night of the
Winter Wonderland dance held in
the gym. The members of the
journalism classes of Southern are
seeing to this. All graduates of
Southern are cordially invited to
attend this semi-formal dance.
Music will be furnished by The
Royales. This function will take
place en- the twentieth.

LEVERETT NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. for Stokes
Dulles Dedication to Nation

ings in Manila have indi-
Gated an unusual singleness
Of purpose among its member
nations. After the first day
Of meetings. when all Of the
speakers joined to voice a
com mon anti Communist
purpose. the SovietS renewed
their propaganda barrage
against Mr.. Dulles.
These characteristics of
Mr.. Dulles have been partic-
ularly manifest in his stand
on the Russian urgings for a
summit meeting. He has
been firm in his insistence
that all preparatory steps
must be concluded before any
such conference Is held.
He and the President want
to insure that a summit con-
ference has a chance for real
progress toward the achieve
ment Of world peace and that
1t Is not merely q spectacular
vehicle for Communist prop
uganda. At the same time we
certainly will not close any
avenue. no matter how difn-
cult the task may be. to
achieve world peace. But we
must not be deluded into a
summit conference which be-
cause Of lack Of adequate
preparation can only result
in an opportunity for in
creased Russian propaganda.
Mr.. Dulles has negotiated
more with the Russians than
has any other living Ameri-
can. Thus his judgment as
to the conditions under
which negotiations will best
serve the interests Of the
free world Is Of utmost i'm
portance, not alone to US
but also to our allies.
Since the retirement Of
winston Churchill. Mr.. Dull
les has become the No. /
target of Communist attacks.
More propaganda has been
directed against him by the
Soviets than against any
other living person.
This Is q tribute TO his
courage and to his effective
ness as a negotiator with the
Russians during the past
decade; his only sin Is his
dedication to America and the
principles we stand for. For
this ! commend him: he
deserves the support Of all
Americans.
I thank Tom Stokes for
the opportunity TO say these
few words. Let US hope he Is
back with US soon.

tee in Congress-which, in
cidentally, investigated all
the reports recently and also
came to the conclusion that
the "fallout" thus far has
not endangered the Nations
health and is q very small
fraction Of what would be
dangerous.
Take the subject of cheat
proof inspection. Many ex-
ponents Of the Communist
side Of the argument are in
sistent that all explosions
can be detected. Strictly
speaking, this isn't true.
There are underground ex-
plosions which the Soviets
are planning "ostensibly for
civil purposes"
you cannot tell from a
distance Of several thousand
miles," said Secretary Of
State Dulles to his news con-
ference Tuesday. whether
an explosion Of that charac-
ter is actually for civil pur-
poses or whether it Is for
military purposes. So there
would have to be, we think,
a considerable degree Of in
spection."
Thus far the Soviets have
SHE'D away from inspection.
They talk vaguely Of CON
troll" Of tests, but for several
years now the United States
has been pressing the issue
Of international inspection,
without support from the
Moscow regime. While even a
comprehensive system Of in
spection wouldn't be cheat
proof, the risks subsequent
to any evasion under such a
setup would, in the opinion of
the American Government, be
so great that the Soviets
wouldn't dare to violate 1t.
The fact is the Soviets know
this. and it is probably the
real reason why they are OPP
posed to any effective system
Of international inspection.

water mark Of their lives.
ADA is their special alumni

worthy aim Of rescuing the

Study by Party Stoff Viewed as Taking
Group as Seriously as 1t Does Itself

At last someone has come
along who takes the Aneri-
cans for Democratic Action
as seriously as they take
themselves.
The Senate Republican
Policy Committee has put its
imprimatur on a staff study
which charges that ADA is
trying to capture the Demo-
cratic Party for its program
Of "laundered communism"
The staff describes It's new
opus as merely an up-dating
Of a similar study made in
1885 and says that 1t was
approved by the committee
chairman, Senator Styles
Bridges Of New Hampshire.
A footnote, however, relieves
the committee and other Re-
publican Senators Of respon-
sibility for the study's con-
tents except as they are will
ing to indorse them.
Unquestionably some are
and will in the coming cam
paign. It also is true that O
few important Democrats still
are to be found in the highly
articulate ranks Of ADA. Most
Of these we're young liberals

vitality and ability to grow.
It is difficult to see by any

today is much more than a

Its own claims are modest.
