THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
Reds Calculated Campaign

With Tokyo streets jammed
with demonstrators against the
United States-Japan military
alliance treaty, the government
of Premier NObusuke Kishi on
Thursday withdrew the invita-
tiOn for state visit by Presi-
dent Eisenhower.
Since 1855, personal" diplo-
macy on the summit level has
seemed to displace the tradi-
tional methods of communica-
ton between nations. But the
events thus far in the eventful
year of 1860 have just about de-
stroyed both personal" and sum-
NIT diplomacy as a means Of
bringing to this sundered world
a meause of peaceful co-exist-
ence.
When Soviet Premier Khru-
Shchev blasted the Paris summit
conference of it's launching pad
May Is, even before the count
down had begun. he blamed the
intelligence flights of the now
notorious American U-2 spy plane
for his refusal to take part in
talks with his fellow heads-of-
state. But in his belligerant re-
lection of any contacts with Pres
ident Eisenhower he went out of
his way to heap bitter personal
abuse on the American leader.
Since May 16 there has been a
pattern to this most recent Com
munist activity. Most observers
in the West have traced its out
lines with ease:
A calculated, deliberate, and
unreservedly ferocious campaign
to destroy the image of Dwight
D. Eisenhower as the symbol of
the worlds deep desire for peace
and tranquility.
President Eisenhower. complet-
ing his last year as Chief Execu-
tive of the leading nation of the
non-C Communist world, has been
known for many months to hold,
as his chief desire in the waning
days of his administration, the
hope that he would leave the
White House on next January 20
as the architect of peace"
Never a politician but always
an appreciative beneficiary of an
undoubted public confidence, Mr..
Eisenhower has clung confidently
and sometimes stubbornly to a
belief that the perils of the cold
war could somehow be laid to
rest, at least for a time, during
his tenancy at 1900 Pennsylvania
avenue NV, Washington, D. C.

the Presidents reported analysis,
ordered a stepped-up lombard
ment of the NationaliSt-held off,
shore islands of Quemoy and the
Matsus. The artillery barrage,
said the Communist radio, was in
tended to express contempt aud
scorn" for the American Presi-
dent. Some $4,000 shells were fired
at the islands Friday, Peking said.
The President arrived in Taipci,
Chang Kai-shek's capital on For
mosa (TaiWan) yesterday to an
enthusiastic welcome. The Gener-
alissimo and his chief aides were
on hand to greet him, and re-
porterS noted that Mr.. Eisenhower
had lost the grim and tired ap-
pearance he had worn on embark
ing aboard the st. Paul at Manila.
Today he is due in Seoul, South
Korea, for a visit three days
earlier than scheduled. En- route
his plane stops in Okinawa, where
Ryukyu leaders have prepared a
series of requests for submission
to him.
The White House party insists
that Mr.. Eisenhower does not take
too serious a view of the cancel
lation of the Tokyo trip. Secre-
tary of State Herter is on vaca-
ton in Massachusetts, and had
made no plans to return to Wash
ington. But the State Department,
despite formal blast at Commu-
mist tactics in Asia aimed at the
Eisenhower visit, was plainly con-
cerned with the future of Ameri-
can-Japanese relations and with
the whole on-Communist alliance
in the Far East.

in the face of almost daily rioting
and demonstrations in Tokyo and
other japanese cities against the
government of Premier Kishi and
the ratification of the new Japa-
nese- American military alliance
treaty, which takes effect today.
The street riots and demonstra-
tions, it was confidently believed
in Washington, were the work of
a vociferous minority of radical
students led by professional Com
munist agitatorS.
The determined, bitter opposition
of minority parties in the japanese
parliament was put down to anti
KiShi politics and, to some extent,
Communist influence on the pro-
testing deputies. When the Presi-
dent left Washington a week ago
today, it was being predicted with
confidence in the highest official
quarters that by today, his sched-
uled date of arrival in Tokyo, the
disorders would have ceased and
the majority will" would prevail.
The disorders grew worse rather
than better. Everyday the police
had to contend with screaming,
-and-stone welding mobs in
the streets of the Japanese capi-
tai, shouting like Don't Come"
and Down With KiShi." BY
Wednesday, the uproar had ap-
preached the character of a revo-
luton. On Thursday the police,
previously curiously passive, were
forced to the use Of tear gas and
force. Several were killed and
many injured in the tangled melees
around the Parliament building
and the official residence of the
Premier.

THE NATIONAL SCENE
Politics Rules Again
In Congress Rush

Congress last week cleared
several major bills for White
House action and advanced
others in six days of great ac-
,tivity.
Like the long distance runner
who had saved a measure of extra
energy for the homestretch, Con-
gresS last week bolted forward at
a pace which left little doubt it
can achieve its 1860 adjournment
goal.
With the Democratic conven-
ton scheduled to start the polit-
ical warfare off in earnest on
July IL, this gives the lawmakers
II more working days to clear up
remaining must" legislation. If
Congress behaves normally, a
ght-down-to-the-wire adjourn
ment may be expected late on
Saturday night. July 9.
Presidential politics orbited over
the proceedings last week like a
seeing-eye satellite as both Houses
acted on welfare legislation which
would make various voting groups
happy. Thus:
o The Senate (62-17) and the
House (377-40) passed a $700 mil
lion Federal pay raise bill. AL
though President Eisenhower is
almost certain to veto it, the mar
gins in each House indicate Con-
greSs would override. In nearly
eight years, Congress only once
has been able to override an Eli
senhower veto.
. The Senate passed a SIPS
billion omnibus housing bill, 81
to 16, while the House Banking
Committee approved for floor
action a somewhat similar meas
ure calling for an outlay of $1.35
billion.
. The House Labor Committee
approved a bill raising minimum
wages from $1.00 an hour to SIPS
within three years and extending
its coverage.
. The House Ways and Means
Committee approved a State
operated program of medical aid
for the aged designed to help
10 million needy persons over the
age IS. The same bill would ex-
tend social security coverage to
100000 domestics, physicians and
others.

Invitation

French President de Gaulle on
Tuesday renewed his invitation
to Algerian Nationalist leaders
to meet with him in Paris to
discuss an end to the five-year
rebellion.
If reports from Tunis last week
were accurate, there was an in
creased possibility that representa-
tives of the Algerian Provisional
Government would accept the re-
peated offer of Gen. de Gaulle for
cease-fire talks in Paris.
The French Presidents preW-
Gus proposals for such a meet
ing have been rejected by the
Algerian leaders because the De
Gaulle plan would bar any dis
cussion of political factors. Only
cease-f1re, the general has in
sisted, can be considered at this
time. After a peace has been
achieved, he has promised, Al
geria can then map its political
future on a basis Of "self-deter-
mination."
In Algiers Thursday, rightist
European settlers announced a
new movement to be known as
the Front for a French Algeria.
This group will, for the first
time, unite the Europeans and
pro-French elements among the
Moslem population. The Front,
, linked to the movement headed
in Paris by Jacques Soustelle,
former De Gaulle lieutenant and
cabinet minister ousted last Feb
ruary after the rightist uprising
in Algiers, will oppose the De
Gaulle program.

guiba has consistently urged

Nations in September for a world

position, it was said, gave the
Russians the initiative and price

Mr.. Eaton and David Ormsby-.

Friday for their home capitals.
After consultations. they will re-
turn to Geneva perhaps with a
whole set of new proposals. But

least as long as Mr.. Eisenhower
remains in office.
Yesterday, at midnight, Tokyo
time, the Japanese-American mill
tary alliance treaty automatically
was ratified. All day Saturday,
demonstrators estimated at more
than 100000 snake-danced in
Tokyo's streets, surrounded the
Parliament buildings and the res
idence of Mr.. Kishi. But the
Premier stood fast.

A Third Blow

Last week the Soviet pattern
assumed an even more recogniz-
able direction. And the President
of the United States, his Nation,
and the West in general suffered
another really serious blow to
prestige and personality in the
world struggle for the minds Of
men.
Mr.. Eisenhower. with the con-
currence apparently of all Cor
mos0 of his closest advisers, and
even of lawmakers on Capitol
Hill not always in the White
House confidence, decided to go
ahead with his plans to visit the
Far East. The e&decision was taken

The Surprise

placed on strengthening our linn
tied war forces.
The ground element has for
years been low man on the de-
fense budget totem pole and still
is. But a spirited. fight led by
Senators Jackson of Washington
and Douglas of Illinois, Democrats,
pushed through additional funds
for Army modernization and an
increase in the numerical strength
of the Marine Corps, the Nations
ready force.
When the 10-hour struggle was
over. the Senate had voted $252
million more for Army moderni-
zation, new tanks, rifles and tao
tical missiles, ETC., than Mr.. Eli
senhower recommended. 1t had
provided the funds to increase
the Marine Corps from 1880 to
100000 men. And it had voted
S293 million for a new aircraft
carrier, a key limited-war weapon
system.
The generous Senators did not
forget all-out war capability, of
course. And so more Polaris sub
marines and Atlas ICBMS were
funded. So were increases in the
BIO bomber program and spy
satellite development.
There are two hurdles to clear.
however. before the Senate action
can be considered really meaning
full. The Senate must compromise
about 100 differences between it's
bill and the 1898 billion voted by
the House. Some Senate items.
like the rise in funds for the Bo-
marc anti-aircraft missile, are al
most certain to be cut-barring

trouble

READING COURSE ADDED
TO KITTY HAWK SCHOOL

A new course, aimed at over
coming reading difficulties, has
been added at the Kitty Hawk Ele-
mentary School, according to the
Principal, Louis F. Cayton. Mrs.
Leona Rogers, who will be using
the course with her fifth and sixth
grades, gave a brief outline of the
advantages of the new method at
the Parent Teacher meeting on
January 81.
Mrs. Rogers said that the meth
cd is based on the premise that all
children of a single age group do
not have the same reading ability.
Therefore, each child is tested and
begins the course at his own read
ing level and he may then progress
just as fast as he is able. Reading
is not merely learning to recog-
nize and pronounce words but it
is also the ability to comprehend
and absorb the material read Each
child will learn to evaluate his own
work, to keep a graph of his pro-
grss and try to understand and
work out his own difficulties, all,
of course, under the guidance of
the teacher. Teachers in other
communities who have used the
course are very enthusiastic. The
faculty intends to expand the
course to include other grades.
Mr.. Cayton also announced that
the All is sponsoring a workshop
for the four upper grades. The boys
will be taught to handle tools and
the girls will be taught sewing,
knitting, etc.
In the absence of the President,
Mrs. Theron Corbell, the vice presi-
dent, Mrs. Mallory Thompson, pre-
sided. Barbara Twiford of the sixth
grade led the devotional. Mrs.
Leona Rogers room won the attend
ance prize.

P.T.A. HEALTH PROGRAM

Today's No. l health problem is
mental disease, according to DR.
w. w. Johnston of the Currituck-
Dare Health Department, who
spoke on this subject at the Kitty
Hawk Parent Teacher Association
meeting on January 81.
There are some 100000 persons
presently in mental hospitals in the
United States and it is estimated
that one person in every ten will
at some time in his life become
mentally ill. Unless the trend is re-
versed the percentage will increase.
DR.. Johnston cited broken homes
financial difficulties, lack of pa
rental love and control as some
of the causes of mental illness in
children.
Since recovery largely depends Oh
early diagnosis and prompt treat
ment, everyone should learn to
recognize early symptoms. The
public must also be alerted to the
need for better facilities for treat
ment and care of those affected
