Red Chinese
A-Threat tCited
Stevenson
BY the Associated Press

Adlai E. Stevenson says the
threat of Red China becoming
a nuclear power may force the
Soviet Union to cooperate with
the West on a real disarma-
ment program.
Mr.. Stevenson. United States
Ambassador to the United Ma
tions. outlined his views in a
speech at the annual banquet
of Washington's Princeton Club
last night.
Let us remember" he said
that Russia is bounded on the
West by uncertain and hostile
satellites, and on the other side
by that aggressive new man.
moth of the East-Red China
The Chinese Communists,
even at this stage, are already
a problem for the Soviets. What
will they be like after they be-
come a nuclear power? This is
something for the whole world
to worry about, including, or
especially, Russia.
1T may be difficult for even
just two or three powers to
find a solution to arms control,
but once nuclear weapons be-
come common property the
mind simply reels at the pros
pect of even resolving the prob
lem.
Russia. like the United
States, is a great power, with OF
without nuclear weapons. Doe:
it wish to see this advantage
reduced by the emergence o1
other nuclear powers? This is
the crucial question it must
soon decide. If reason prevails
I think there is chance OF
their cooperating with us on a
real disarmament program. ]
pray that this may be So"
Mr.. Stevenson said the new
round of East-West disarma-
ment negotiations. scheduled to
start in Geneva before July 81
will be a real test of Soviet
intentions toward significant
international cooperation.

As for the general situation,

Proud of Kennedy
1T is to be hoped that the

The bishops are as proud

MSgr. Flynn'S statement was
issued in rebuttal to a Look
Magazine article. This article,
by Fletcher Knebel, said Pres
ident Kennedy believes that
Catholic officialdom never ap-
proved his candidacy and has
timed various public acts to
create maximum embarraSs-
ment for him.
The article implied that Car
dinal Spellman played a major
role in the alleged church op-
position to Mr.. Kennedy.

Msgr. Flynn said:
The only legitimate point in
Mr.. Knebel's article is the op-
position of the Catholic bis
hops, Spearheaded by Cardinal
Spellman, to the Kennedy posi-
ton on Federal aid to educa-
ton.
The fact that We find our
selves in the main opposed to
a Catholic President on this
issue simply indicates that we
place principle ahead of poll
tical aspiration-and that
should be an example to Amer
lea, not an occasion for mis-
guided criticism"

is indeed honored to have Mr..
Powell accompanying Miss Rob-
ertson and Mr.. Rufty to the
campus for this concert Mr.
Powell will preface some Of his
own compositions with introduce
tory remarks. 1t would be well
worth the evening just to hear
the composers explanation of
his works.
Also some original compo-
sitions by Mr.. Rufty, who is a
former Hampden-Sydney student,
will be performed.
It is interesting to note that
Miss Robertson is Mrs. c. R. Nc
Rae's sister, and that Mr.. Rob-
ertson is a Hampden Sydney
graduate fclass of 80.
The program to be presented
will be as follows:

and orchestra. the performance
at Hampden-Sydney being some
what a preview of the work to
be performed by Miss Robertson
as guest soloist with the Rich
mond Symphony Orchestra in
January.
This year marks the third con-
secutive season that Miss Rob-
ertson has given a concert on the
Hill; however, it is the first time
that she has been accompanied
by another pianist and by Mr..
Powell. The Tiger urges all stu
dents who are interested in
music to come next Thursday
night both to hear a musician of
the caliber of Mr.. Powell speak
and to hear his and other music
superbly performed.
It may be noted that his CON
cert is the first of two to be
sponsored this year by the Hamp-
den-Sydney Glee Club, the sec
ond being the regular perform
ance Of Miss Florence Manning,
soprano, in a program Of Ger
man and other music later this
fall. These concerts are in ad-
dition to the regular Glee Club
Christmas concert at College
Church.

Milk Marketing
COOperatives
Are Discussed

Milk marketing cOoperatlves
should follow a few rules for top
success. says AL Ortego, dairy
marketing specialist at Virginia
Polytechnic Institute.
Ortego points out that most
Grade A milk sold in Virginia is
sold through cooperative market
ing associations. He outlines sew
eral requirements for such a CO.
operative if it is to successfully
accomplish its purpose.
He says members must be in
terested and take an active part
in the association. They must
keep informed of ventures and
operations.
The cooperative must have an
alert and progressive board of
directors and manager.
A cooperative must have title
to the milk as well as physical
control Of it. 1t must be able to
direct milk to outlets which use
it in the highest class. To do
this, the association must have
trucks. equipment and facilities
for receiving. cooling and hold
ing milk. Through diversion of
milk. the cooperative can dispose
of surplus milk at better prices
in other markets.
There must be enough milk to
justify the investment in build
ings. trucks, tanks, equipment,
and personnel. With high fixed
costs. the unit cost of handling
small amounts of milk is pro-
hibitive.
