Solution to
Ice SHORTAGE?

Mrs. 8. M, washington
We recently purchased q
four-quart electric ice cream
freezer and went about max
ing our first batch of home
made ice cream with great
enthusiasm. following the
instructions given In the
booklet that came with the
freezer.
We were astonished at the
amount Of ice that was re-
quired to make one-and-a-
half quarts Of ice cream.
We had four trays Of ice
cubes on hand to crush and
use with the rock salt, but
these were not at all suffi-
cient and my husband had to
make q hurried trip to buy
q block Of Ice TO complete the
Job.
Also, the amount Of work
involved In crushing the ice
was discouraging.
1t occurred to US that a lot
OF work would be eliminated

ice-cream mixture in our
deep freeze for the harden
ing" phase Of the operation.

II not, I would certainly
appreciate any suggestions
you may offer regarding an

1915, Round !

Round one began in 1945 with the
end of World War II. Stain was
too tempted by a PROSTATE Europe
and demobilized America to pay
attention to allied overtrres for
friendship.
The round ended in 1947 when
the United States started to coun-
ter Moscow's pressure with the Mar
shall Plan, Greek Turkish aid, NATO,
the Berlin airlift and, finally, the
defense of Korea in 1850.
Western resistance showed Russia
that the United States would defend
the free world and that Europe could
be revived economically, psychology
ically and politically.
The cold war bumped along un--
evenly until about 1857.
Then came Round Two.
AS the new leadership of Russia,
in the person of Nikita Khrushchev,
consolidated its power, Mr.. Khru-
shchev saw a rosy Red future: He
had headstart over the United
States in long-range ballistic mis-
siles; he had mid-range missiles to
train on Europe; he had Sputniks, a
spectacular symbol Of what he
thought was a new balance Of
power.
So Russia began a double-bar-
relied effort to get communism
moving again.

A Key Date

Historians Will trace the course Of
the most recent Russian cold war
offensive from the first Sputnik,
through the gains and losses of
Laos, Wet Nam, Guinea, the Congo,
Berlin, Cuba and finally, the test
ban.
But administration leaders say
the key date is May 3, 1851, less
than four months after President
Kennedy took office. On that day,
Mr.. Kennedy paused in purpose
full stride toward war in Laos.
The new President had ordered a
military showdown with Russia,
kept secret from the public until to-
day, to show the Kremlin that this
country was ready and willing to
fight for It's vital interests.
The threat Of war did these
things, officials say:
It produced a cease fire in Laos
on May 3, and compromise settle
ment at Geneva two weeks later
that permitted the United States
to disband a massive invasion force.
But also-and this goes directly
to yesterdays test ban agreement
1t gave the Russians direct evidence
that their latest cold war offensive
had to slow down or lead to a nu-
clear war. It gave administration
planners confidence they were on
the right track in combating COM
munism.

Russia Tries BIockmoiI

First, she tried blackmail. NATo
countries were threatened with a
hail of missiles If they did not drop
their defenses; Berlin was de-
manded on silver platter; and the
islands in the Formosa Straits were
shelled. Mr.. Khrushchev strutted
about the world, telling the CAPT
talists their burial was about to
begin.
Second, Russia tried to move in
underdeveloped countries. The
Kremlin apparently believed, quite
sincerely, that most Of Africa, Asia
and Latin America would prefer the
Communist path to prosperity, even
If given a free choice.
There were some successes: The
fighting in Laos and the Congo,
trouble in Guinea, the Castro revo-
luton in Cuba, Red ties with Egypt
and trouble between Indonesia and
the Netherlands.
There also were setpacks-Ameri-
can forces interviewed to protect
Quemoy and Matsu in the Formosa
Straits and troops landed in Lebanon.
But by January, 1861, when Presi-
dent Kennedy took office, the Rus
sian offensive was moving forward.
The new President and his advisers
went 10 work.
They increased the military budget
by several billion dollars, primarily

The nuclear test ban agreement
is punctuation point in the cold
war.
1t does not herald the coming of
peace, but it could lead to success
full negotiations on a number of
other outstanding East-West- issues.
1t does mark the end of one Com
munist offensive, but it does not
preclude the start of another.
These are the views of policy plan
ners and Russian specialists in the
Kennedy administration.
They don't contend the Red Of
fensive ended in failure. Nor do
they believe United States counter
moves were responsible for the end
Of the offensive, but they think they
helped.
In reviewing the last few years of
Russian-U United States relations
that led to the initiating of the test
ban treaty yesterday in Moscow, adj
ninistration officials think the
Kremlin was forced to end its Of
fensive far short of It's early opti-
n1istic goals.
And although they credit their
own policies for much of this, they
give even more credit to the in
exorable pressures of economies,
politics, the cost of the arms race,
nationalism and a heart attack in
the Kremlin hierarchy.
Somewhat surprisingly, perhaps,
Russia's split with Red China is
considered relatively minor factor.
And the intricate and prolonged
negotiations over a test ban are
thought to have had the least bear
ing on the outcome.
Numerous officials were asked
what went into yesterdays settle
ment. This is an account of what
they said about the cold war events
that preceded the treaty, the in
ternal problems that plague Russia
and the outlook for future world
security.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla,
July 26 (AP) The Syncom-2
communications satellite rock
eted into orbit today and hur-
tied upward toward a point
$4,000 miles above the equator
where a small motor was to
kick 1t into another path
where 1t seemingly would
hover motionless in the sky.
The motor was set to fire
about 4 pm. EDIT.
If the proper orbit is achieved
and telephone, teletype and
radio experiments work as in
tended, United States scien-
lists will take a great stride
toward development of a COM
paratively low-cost worldwide
space communications system
requiring only three satellites.
Syncom-2 is designated to be
the worlds first operating
synchronous orbit satellite-one
which appears to hang like a
star in the sky because 1t travels
at the same relative speed the
earth rotates.

that when the satellite was
