We MustGet
Set to Live
With Crisis
THE PERMANENT CRISIS

by Kurt London (Walker q
Co.; So
The very title Of this book
contributes to a fuller under
standing Of the foreign stu
alton facing the United
States today. Instead of hop
ing, or believing, that each
crisis, be it Cuba, or Berlin,
or Laos, or Vietnam, or India,
will be the last, we had better
reconcile ourselves to an in
definite period Of crisis, and
formulate foreign policy &C
cordingly.
DR.. London, professor of
international affairs and di-
rector Of the Institute for
Sino-Soviet Studies at George
Washington University here,
is convinced that if approx
mate equality Of nuclear and
weapons systems is MAIN
tanned by the two major sides
in today's struggle, general
war will be useless as a means
Of foreign policy. But the
conflict will be waged at
length through other means.
COsmOpOlitics
Predominance in space, he
says, may in the end become
a decisive issue in the bipolar
dispute. The conquest Of
space may change geopolitics
into cosmopolitics. and who
conquers space rules the
earth.
DR.. London maintains that
the changing global situation
makes 1t urgent to shed long
held concepts Of policy and
diplomacy. but he is vague
as to what new forms should
supplant the traditional.
The author points to
changes occurring in the
Sino-Soviet camp. though he
warns against expecting a
break between the Soviet
Union and Communist China,
and says that "for the West
and the rest Of the free world,
the flexibility and increasing
sophistication Of Khrushchev-
ism. plus the emergence
Of an extremely aggressive

CROSS FIRE
The Eight Years
with Eisenhower by
EZRA TAFT BENSON

In eight years of service, Ezra Taft Benson rode
out more storms than most government officials
do in lifetime of politics. Some opponents de-
rided him as stubbornly infexible believer in
faith, hope and parity" Many admirers re-
manned unshakeable in their loyalty - including
President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Some leaders
withdrew their support with demoralizing
abruptness - and Mr.. Benson's CROSS FIRE
chapter on Richard Nixon's pre-l960 activities
has already made headlines.
Throughout it ali, Ezra Taft Benson did more
than survive; he kept to the task of building a
workable farm policy and stuck TO the conserva-
tive beliefs which won him the farm vote in
1856 and again in 1860. Now the former Secre-
tary of Agriculture = man who has never been
known for hiding his convictions under barrel
of surplus speaks out candidly about the politi-
cal history he helped write. He talks about farms
and the price of food - and, even more impor-
tant, about Washington and the price of politics
He tackles the questions of why we pay hand
full of men billion dollars year nor to plant
crops why wage-earner's tax dollars are
spent to raise the cost of his family's food -.
and.why American manufacturers are forced out
of world markets by raw material prices kept
prohibitively high by their own dollars.
Not since the Ickes Diaries has former Cabinet
member waded in and told so personal story
Of governmental mitigating Ezra Taft Benson
answers his critics - and ycIr questions - in the
years most explosive politfSal biography -
CROSS FIRE.

VIRGINIA BEACH = Mike
Heneghan, operator of a local
delicatessen and native of
County Mayo, ireland, has
lived in this resort city since
194I.
He thinks the future of Vir-
ginia Beach lies in catering to
the young folks. Recently some
local residents have said youth
are too noisy:
do they want nothing but
old people with ailm nts?"
Mike asked "or young people
who swim and play in the sun

1851.
Mike came to the United
States in 1925 and worked for
three years as a subway re-
pairman in New York. He
learned the butchering trade in
a chain store and moved to
Richmond, Va, to become a
butler.
Il heard Virginia Beach was
a nice place when I decided I
wasn't cut out to be a butler
and came here instead of re-
turning to New York" Mike
said. He's never regretted the
decision.
His first job was that of a
butcher. The boss told him
that although he would work
hard in the summer he could
take a couple of days off every
week during the winter. A few
weeks later Fit. Story opened
nearby. the military prepara-
tons for World War II got
under way and the beach has
been humming since.
The noise factor was more
pressing in the old days be-
fore air conditioning became
general in homes and in res
taurantS than it is now, Mike
said.

we were living over a store on

our country. All of our public schools teach
the story of the Pilgrims who, for the sake
of religious freedom, took voyage of great
danger and hardship to an alien and savage
land. The public schools teach the story OF
Roger Williams who left the safety and COM
fort of an established colony to strike out on
his own in the wilderness so that he might
worship in his own way and provide the same

taught the story of the Mormons who, with
the hand of every man turned against them,
moved from the east to desert in Utah
where they built great civilization. Can any
school child who learns the history of our
country really doubt the Importance of relig-

But let our history not stop here for our
children. Let them learn of the prosecutions
in Europe that led settlers to these shores.
Let them learn how the Puritans, once they
had gained their freedom, prosecuted those
who did not agree with them on religious mat
