And elsewhere the bright Com
muaist hopes Of 1o46-4T had
dinined. Nowhere In Asia was
Macs success repeated. Indonesia,
Burma and the Philippines largely
overcarne their guerrillas. At great
cost TO Britain, the Malayan
guerillas were contained and
driven back. Only In Indochina
did local conditions favor real
Communist momentum; but Ho
Chi Mini was finally forced to

The Iron Fist
Where were we, then, when the
truce negotiations on Korea be-
gan In the summer Of 1851?
Stain had consolidated Eastern
Europe; Mao. China, But the
global balance Of power still lay
even II precariously with the
free world. And the West. led by
the United States, had answered
three basic questions which I'M
derlay the hopes of Communist
planners. First, 1t was demon
strated that the United. States
commitment to Europe had sur
vived the war. belying Roosevelt's
fears and his unfortunate pre-
dlction. Second, it was demon
strated that Western Europe had
emerged from the Second World
War with the capacity to find
again its economic, social and
politial vigor and, with American
aid, to fend off the Communist
thrustS against the Eastern Medi-
terranean, Italy, France and,
climactically, against Berlin.
Third, 1t was demonstrated in
Korea that the United States and
the free world as a whole had the
will and capacity to deal with an
aggressive thrust with conventional
forces across the truce lines Of
the cold war. 3D.. -.

Post sputuik Surge

Post-Sputnik Surge
But It was only after the
launching Of Sputnik In October
1857 that the second great Com
n1unist offensive Of the postwar
years was fully launched. Il was
in 1858 that Moscow laid down
its ultimatlm on Berlin. 1t was
in 1858 that the Communist Party
In Hanoi announced 1t would I'M
dertake q guerrilla war in South
Wet Nam. Soon afterward the
Pathet Lao, with the active help
Of Communist North Wet Nam,
resumed their effort to take over
Laos. 1t was In these first post
Sputnik years that the Soviets
sought to exploit the potentialities
for acquiring in the Congo q
Communist base for operations
in central Africa; it was then
that they invested billion dollars
in military aid In an effort to
induce friction, If not war,
between IndoneSia and The
Netherlands over West New
Guinea and also to strengthen
Soviet influence and the Comnu-
mist position In Indonesia. 1t was
also, perhaps fortuitously. at the
end of 1858 that Castro took over
in Cuba.
At two points the forward mo-
mentum Of the post-Sputnik Com
nnunist thrust was slowed down by
major and successful Unite
States actions: in the Lebanon
Jordan and Quemoy-Matsu crises
Of 1858. But, as Of January 1861,
Khrushchev's offensive had con-
siderable momentum In Southeast
Asia, Africa and Latin America.

In the 1950s, in q world al
ready complicated by nuclear
weapons produced In three coun-
tries, the issues were embedded
in complex control negotia-
tons designed to roll back the
history Of the arms race. But at
their core was still the problem
of inspection, dramatized by
President Eisenhower's 1855 pro-
poSal for mutual aerial surveil-
lance. Similarly, the German ques-
ton assumed q different form
with the emergence Of the Federal
Republic of Germany fully o part
Of NATO, and with the eniergence
of the German Democratic Re
public to the East. The required
effort to reshape, II not to roll
back. history was reflected in the
package proposal for disarma-
n1ent by stages that was pre-
scented in Geneva In May 1859.
But the root of the matter re-
manned the problem Of free polit-
ical choice by all the people Of
Germany and an evenhanded Eu-
ropean security system.
Neither in 1945-46 nor during
the l950s was the Soviet Union
prepared to seek q higher degree
Of national security for Russia at
the expense Of effective interna-
tional measures Of Inspection; nor
was 1t prepared to accept a solu-
ton which would remove the dam
gerous tensions from Central Eu-
rope at the risk Of even slowly
staged eorrosion Of communism
in East Germany.
% These two great unresolved Is

Germany drifted, from the
spring Of 1916, toward q split;
and the resulting deadlock in the
Berlin Control Council was dram
atized by the Soviet walkout on
March 20, 1913, which set the
stage for the full blockade on the
ground three months later. The
success Of the airlift ended, In eff
feet, Stains main thrust to the
West. The interacting process set
In motion by this offensive, how
ever, had yielded not merely the
Marshall plan but the Brussels
pact September l94S), NATO
March l949, and the creation
MAY l940 of the Federal Repub-
lie Of Germany with its close ties
TO West Berlin.
g. AS this duel In the West pro-
ceeded, Stain launched an often
sive in the East which can be
roughly dated from the activist
mJunctions Of Zhdanov to the
Communist parties in Asia at the
founding meeting Of the COMM
form In September l947. Open
guerrilla warfare began In Indo-
china as early as November 1916;
N Burma, in April 1913; In Ma
laya, In June; and in Indonesia
and the Philippines. in the au-
tumn. The Indian and japanese
Communist parties, with less scope
Tor guerrilla action, nevertheless
sharply increased their militancy
in 1913. As victory was won in
China In November i949 Contrary
TO Stains earlier expectations,
Macs political-military strategy
was openly commended by the
Cominform TO the Communist
parties In those areas where guer-
ria operations were under way
The meeting Of Stain and Mao
early in 1850 undoubtedly con-
firmed the ambitious Asian strate-
gy and planned its climax In the
form Of the North Korean in
vasion Of South Korea, which took
place at the end Of June, 1850.
Korea Boekfires
The American and United Ma
tons response to the invasion
OF South Korea, the landings at
1nchon, the march 10 the Yalu,
the Chinese Communist entrance
into the war, and the successful
United Nations defensy against
massive Chinese assault In April
May 1851 at the 3sth parallel
brought this phase OF military
and quasi-miltary Communist eff
fort throughout Asia TO q gradual
end. Neither Moscow nor Picking

fast-closing rival Of the United
States but the posseSsor Of o

Of an underdeveloped region. The
1855 arms deal with Egypt and
the agreement to build Aswan
Dam represented the first major
efforts along these lines.

Br-r-rl What cold, cold win
ter this has been. When reading
q book one day, we found out
that some animals get through
the winter in a very simple way.
They just sleep 1t out. Night and
day during the cold months, they
seldom move or eat. They breathe
very, very slowly and their heart
beats very, very quietly. They
hibernate.
We each made a booklet that
told some interesting things about
some animals that hibernate. We
found out that bats sleep in caves
or vacant houses, hanging upside
down, and a woodchuck will cover
over the entrance to his burrow
to keep opossums, skunks and
rattlesnakes from sharing his
bed. A chipmunk will fill many
rooms with nuts, even putting
some under It's bed until the bed
is ceiling-high. II the raccoon
has a large den, several families
often share 1t. For some skunks
the winter sleep lasts only a
couple Of weeks, but for others
II may be six to twelve weeks.
A snail builds a stopper to plug
the entrance to It's shell and
dozens, even hundreds, Of earth
worms huddle together in holes
five feet down in the earth where
they can't freeze.

I like to go ice fishing. First

Then you put the traps in. When

a square hole in the ice and put
the fish In 1t. Not so deep that 1t
goes through the ice. While you're
waiting for the fish to bite, you
sit by a bonfire. Once we went
and caught twenty-five fish. It
is lots Of fun to go Ice fishing.

This has been Ruby's great

For example, in 1862, she con.

because I love working with

Drive After 200 Yedrs
Sweden has decided to
change to right hand drive
after 200 years, according to a
news report yesterday.
The Swedish Parliament de-
cided last Friday to part COM
pany with Britain and Ireland,
which use the left side Of the
road, and steer to the right
with the rest of Europe.
The new law becomes effec-
tive in 1867.
Sweden has been using the
left side for 200 years. King
Charles XII in the 18th century
decreed that carts, horses and
carriages should keep to the
right. When Charles died, so
did his plan and Sweden kept
to the left.
The vote Friday was It's to
"a.
Parliament began discussing
the problem in 1915, but made
no decision.
In 1855 the question was re-
considered and a plebiscite
held in which supporters Of
keep-to-the-left won an over
whelming victory. The reform
proposal was shelved for sew
eral years.
Among the arguments adj
vanced for the reform were
the following
Sweden's neighbors in Scan
dinavia keep to the right.
Most Swedish vehicles have
steering wheels on the left,
which means they are con-
structed for right hand driv-
ing.
Foreign tourists in Sweden
have caused many accidents.
Estimates indicate the
change will cost $50, 600, 900.
