KENNEDY PREPARATIONS:
De GouIIe, Soviet Boss
Rate Equal Homework
By MARY McGRORY
Star Staff Writer

In his state-of-the- Union
message to the Congress yester-
day, President Kennedy charac-
terized Charles de Gaulle of
France as "a great captain of
the Western world"
Nikita KhruShchev he des-
ignated merely as "the Soviet
Premier"
But the prickly ally and for
midable adversary he will meet
next week both require special
handling, and behind the scenes
at the White House the Presi-
dent is devoting equal time to
studies of their personalities.
Unparalleled attention is being
devoted by the President and
his staff to the Stagecraft of
these two crucial meetings.
Reads Memoirs
AS part Of his preparation
for negotiating with the leader
of the French, the President is
reading Gen. de Gaulle's men,
oirs with close attention. He
has talked to our Ambassador
to France, James M. Gavin, to
Charles E. Bohlen of the State
Department, who was once our
Minister to France, and to
French journalists about the
de Gaulle personality.
While the general is pre-
pairing a reception OF supreme
pomp and circumstance for the
President and the First Lady
in Paris, the President is try
ing to adapt his own rhetori-
cal devices to those Of Gen.
de Gaulle.
He has been advised that his
customary rapid-fire delivery
of facts, figures and arguments
would not be just the thing in
discussions with the stately
savior of France. Gen. de
Gaulle, whose sense of his own
and his country'S destiny is
well known, prefers the reali-
ties of contemporary life to
be presented to him against a
majestic backdrop of history.

ring of the whole presentation
The President will aim for
a touch of grandeur in the ne
gotiations. He shares a sense
of history with the French
President and his feelings
about Western civilization.
Master of Gamesmanship
The President has been eau
toned not to be too good a
listener. Brevity is not a char
acteristic of Soviet speakers,
Mr.. Khrushchev himself is no
exception. Some thought is be-
ing given to the difficulty of
getting a word in edgewise
without turning the session into
a pickering match.
Minutes of previous Ameri-
can encounters with Mr.. Khru-
shchev are being combed for
clues. The President is re-read-
ing accounts of the Premier's
stormy 1859 journey within
our borders. He studies the
dispatches of Llewellyn Thomp-
son, our ambassador to Rus
sia.
In White House councils,
which include Mr.. Bohlen, Foy
D. Kohler, assistant secretary
for European affairs, and Nc
George Bundy and Walt RoStow
of the White House staff, some
effort has been made to stake
out a little common ground be-
tween the young Chief Execu-
tive and the old Bolshevik.

With the hay fever due to
start this week, every one hav-
ing weeds can lend aid to suf-
ferers by cutting and destroy
ing the ragweed, one of the
principal causes of the malady.
Boy Scouts can do their bit by
making a survey of yards and
open fields where only a
small quantity is found, pull it
up themselves. Where large
quantity grows report same to
the proper authorities who
should have it removed at once.
Only by careful attention to
this cause of hay fever can
sufferers of the malady be help
ed. When the air becomes full
of pollen from the weed it is
too late to help. Look over your
garden and cut weeds now.

Ask any housewife what could

Women have learned to juggle
foods in and out of the oven
when different temperatures are
needed-for steak and hot bis
cults, for instance-but they've
never learned to like it. Now
many electric ranges come
equipped with double ovens to
permit baking and broiling, or
any combination of oven and
broiler cookery, simultaneously.
With one large oven and one
smaller one, the homemaker has
a great deal of cooking fiexibil-
ity plus generous capacity. She
can cook for a crowd, or she
can economize by using just the
small oven for family meals.
Electric double ovens are
available in several styles. They
may be part of complete range,

Fortunately the stock was saw

The farm is tenanted by Ma

in the yard at the time, and
two men had difficulty in pre-
venting the cows from dash
ing into the flames. Forty tons
of clover hay valued at $500
also were burned, along with
the barn. The total loss is about
$4,000 on which there is $500
insurance. Tightening also de-
stroyed the hay ricks on the
farm of DR.. Emanuel Stout, of

excise taxes on the use of jeWelry, luggage, china, per-

chimes and closed circuit tele-
vision, it is evident that old
fashioned book larnin' still
holds an important place on the
educational scene.
Reporting recently on library
progress to faculty colleagues,
DR.. Munroe noted that in 1856
Sc, the per student use of libr-
ary books was IA volumes. In
l960-6l, the annual use per stu
dent had risen to 25 volumes,
a figure reflecting both faculty
emphasis on scholarship and
seriousness of purpose on the
part of students.
Matching the increased use
of library resources is the great
er demand for library use and
services. Student requests last
year led to an extension of Ii
brary hours to eleven o'clock
Smyrna times., 1961-11-23

in the main reading room. Dur
ing the regular academic year,
the library was open SO hours
each week and in examination
periods, additional evening hours
were scheduled, extending the
work week of the library staff
to l02 hours.
In 1960-6l, 1874 volumes
were added to the library col
lections, as were Alb reels of
microflm and 3,242 microprint
titles. The library now has $685.
292 volumes.
One measure of the library's
increasing strength is that last
year for the first time, the Uni
versity of Delaware loaned more
books than it borrowed under
the interlibrary loan plan. A
total of 2l9 volumes were bor-
rowed from libraries in 26 stat
es, Canada and England. Some
800 volumes were loaned to Ii
braries in % states, Canada,
England and Germany.
Rapid growth in collections
and in the size of the univer-
sity's undergraduate and grad
uate enrollments highlights the
need for new library, funds
for which were appropriated by
the l21st General Assembly
this year. Construction of the
$3,127000 facility, to be locat-
ed on College Avenue south of
Hullihen Hall, is expected to
begin in the spring of 1862.
