As the Public Sees Siqhtseer Khrushchev


Africa. That will be the next
test.
Berlin doesn't matter. The
Germans who caused two
world wars are unimportant.
What is important is the
survival of the United States,
and the survival of its allies.
A separate peace treaty with
a permanently divided Ger
many might we'll be a guar
antee Of reduced tension in
Europe. Do we want Ger
many to rise again?
The plain people of both
countries want peace. Man.
kind could be on the thres-
hold of a new space age. Or
the choice can be for de-
struction mutually.

1t seems to me that those
newspaper reporters and tele-
vision commentators who are
covering the visit of the So
Wet Premier have become a
bit frustrated in their en-
deavors to find something
to disparage. and so they
are concentrating upon Mr..
Khrushchev'S physical ap-
pearance and his choice of
wearing apparel. Their snide
remarks have not yet touch
ed the Premier's wife, but
give them time.
1t should not be necessary
for me to say I love my coun-
try and what remains Of its
democratic government. But
that should not deter me
from recognizing and resent
ing boorishness. It is not to
our credit that what we lack
in scientific achievement we
make up in editorial wise
cracking
Harvey H. Hewitt.
The contrast between Lit
tie Rock and New York City
probably evidences the ap-
parent tolerance shown to
foreigners nowadays when it
is realized no fire hoses were
used during the recent out
break Of violence outside the
United Nations Building, as
observed on television.
Perhaps the goodwill Of
these expatriates is consid-
cred important to our So
called world position. Some
Of us differ to the extent of
believing that catering to
foreigners merely because
they are from some country
influenced by Soviet domina-
ton is becoming ridiculous.
Why not start thinking of
our own welfare?

I am a typical 14-year-old
American, freedom loving boy
Il guess. BY means of these
visits I hope our countries
can be pulled together closer
and have peace. Mr.. Khru-
shchev, you have said over
and over again communism
will rule the world. This is
false, because how can you
rule the mind of a freedom
loving person?
You know, I hope, that
there are many people in the
world who hate communism
and love freedom. I'll almost
bet that every human on the
earth would like to be free!
probably even you.) Why.
may I ask, would a smart
person give up freedom for
communism? If anybody
would, he would have to be
nuts!
I would not give up free
dom for anything! So-why
can't our nations live at
peace and not on the edge
Of World War III?
Ed Mcdonald.
When Nikita S. Khru-
shchev stood beside the grave
of Franklin D. Roosevelt at
Hyde Park, he surely expert
enced more gratitude than
grief. Why? He was paying
homage at the tomb of the
man who, more than anyone
else on earth. was respon-
sible for giving Russia it's
greatest push toward world
dominion-the Kurile Is
lands, lower Sakhalin, a
broad warm-water foothold
on the Pacific, the vast
Danubian basin, East Ger
many and the cream of
German scientists.
Is this an unfair, base
less accusation? No truth of
all human history is more
firmly established by incon-
trovertible proof. Only the
blind worshipers of the
"omnipotent one" are igno-
rant enough to offer a denial.
