Methodist Men
Learn Godgefry

Man now has at his disposal
host of devices to free him
from repetitive, tedious, mon
otonous drudgery.
How these devices evolved
and how they affect everyone
will be examined in a speech
here by Robert j. Steel, General
Electric Company engineer.
Steel, who will speak at the
Collinwood Methodist Mems
Club April 18th, at $50 p. M,
points out that the "age of
mechanization probably started
when man discovered the prin-
ciple of the wheel. Since then
he has been using his ingenuity
to take the muscle work out of
labor"
The speaker has come up
with the "Handy-Dandy"
Nifty -Shifty" gadgets to illus
trate how automation has de-
veloped. The first step comes
when whatever replaces muscle
power is helped by gadget
which initiates one of mans
five senses.
He traces automation's ma
tural course to show how it will
be applied wherever there is
tedious, repetitive type Of work.
The chief engineer of G.E.'s
Pitney Glass Plant in Cleve-
land, Steel is responsible for
manufacturing, equipment and
building engineering, including
development of new equipment
and processes.

mitted bystanders around the

portedly was based on an inter

SUMMIT AFTERMATH
Foult-Finding Debate
InU.S. Dismoys Allies

Inflated conference or since
that disturbs American diplo-
mats in Paris.
Aspect of Tragedy Fades
Indeed. the failure of the
conference itself now seems
rather less a tragedy than it
did at first. With the threat
to Berlin postponed for at
least another six months and
the nuclear test talks about to
resume in q hopeful atmo-
sphere at Geneva, the damage
at least does not seem to have
been irreparable.
A number of diplomats now
believe that the postponement
Of the showdown in Berlin may
have been a major motive be-
hind Mr.. Khrushchev's scut-
ting Of the summit conference.
The Russian leader was deeply
committed to take action on
the German peace treaty if
the. summit talks failed to
produce what he considered a
satisfactory solution of the
Berlin problem.
There was, in fact, no
chance of, reaching such a
solution in Paris. And since the
signing Of a separate peace
treaty with East Germany
would involve real risks for
Russia. Mr.. Khrushchev was
anxious to find a pretext for
putting OF the talks.
Feared Unproductive Farley
Few people. perhaps, would
go so far as to say that Mr..
Khrushchev did the West a
favor last week. But there are
some diplomats of the old
school who believe that a sum-
NIT conference that failed-as
this one had seemed likely to
would have been worse than no
summit at all.
They believe, furthermore.
that the greatest danger to

mittee. And that the damage

By CROSBY S. MOVES

European Correspondent OF The Star
PARIS, May 27.-So far as
Europeans are concerned. a
partisan debate in the United
States over the failure of the
summit conference would be the
crowning folly of the whole
episode.
A good deal has been heard
in the last few days about a
loss of faith in American lead
ership within the Western alli-
ance. The handling of the U-2
incident and the summit blow
up in Paris, it is said. have
seriously shaken the confidence
Of French and British leaders
in their American colleagues.
This may be a logical suspi-
cion. 1t is a fact, however, that
very little of this talk has come
from the French and British
themselves. On the contrary
what most dismays our allies
at this point is the spirit of
recrimination and noisy self
criticism within the United
States.
Little Criticism of U. S.
There has been a notable
lack of discussion here, either
public or private, about
American ineptitude." If mis-
takes were made, no one seems
to find anything particularly
surprising or even remarkable
in the fact. And no one, apart
from the Communists them
selves. has suggested that these
mistakes were the real cause
of Soviet Premier Khrushchev's S
eruptions last week.
The whole emphasis here, on
the contrary, has been on the
need for greater Western unity
than ever. At this point, even
the British and the French are
being reasonably polite to each
other. In the face of the Rus
sian blast, the strains and ir-
ritations between the leaders
of Europe's rival trade blocs
has Subsided abruptly.
French President de Gaulle,
to be sure, has been talking
about an independent French
foreign policy" But he has
tied this firmly to his old plea
for closer consultation and CO.
ordination within the Western
alliance. There has been moth
ing in his attitude during the

The Western powers opposed
the Soviet amendments.
BaekdoOr Move Seen
Britains Sir Pierson Dixon
described them as an attempt
to sneak in through "the back
door and in disguise" the same
idea which the council had re-
jected Overwhelmingly yester-
day.
He referred to the Soviet de-
mands that the United States
be branded as an aggressor for
the May / U-2 flight.
Mr.. Gromyko again took off
on United States policy and
once more criticized Mr.. Eisen-
hover personally.
He said Soviet Premier
KhrushcheV had spoken many
good words in favor of Mr.. Eli
senhower, but added:
How can we assess. how can
we qualify the position of the
Soviet government, when the
head Of the United States Gov
ernment himself proclaims an
unprecedented and unheard of
policy Of gross and fragrant vio-
lation of the sovereignty Of the
Soviet Union?"
Mr.. Gromyko accused the
United States Of following "a
policy Of perfdy and hy-
pocrisy."
Such q partner in negotia-
tions," he said, could not be
a reliable partner"
