among the group.
Recalling the visits to West
ern Russia and three European
Red satellite countries. Rea de-
clared: I'm glad l made the
trip. It was probably the great
est experience of my life.
Good Accomplished
Asked to define the ingredi-
ents of such a reaction, the 1899
Princeton graduate in electrical
engineering said: II believe
we accomplished a great deal
of good in creating better under
standing. The direct compari-
sons GRABBED me to realize the
great disparity in our favor be-
tween Russian and the U. S..
and my own country emerged
with a new structure after
