Ike Foreign
Failed, Says
Policy
Adlai
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Adlai E. Stevenson called Pres
ident Eisenhower’s foreign policy
an “abysmal, catastrophic fail
ure” last night.
Stevenson, speaking in Buffalo,
N. Y., said “two great victories”
have been handed to Russia by
the Eisenhower adm ini stilati on’s
foreign policy. He said the admin
istration had committed a “series
of failures.”
Stevenson’s speech was carried
over the major radio-TV networks
on free time, to match the 15 min
utes the networks gave Eisenhow
er for his Wednesday night talk
from the White House.
Stevenson gave great stress to
the fighting in the Middle East,
where Britain and France are
driving to seize the Suez Canal
and the Israelis and Egyptians are
fighting in the
Eisenhower, i:
night speech, had chided Britain,
France and Israel, while saying
they had been subjected to provo
cations from the Egyptians, who
have accepted arms from Russia.
He said he would seek through
the United Nations to end the con
flict.
Stevenson said the Soviet Un
ion, in all the turmoil, had scored
these victories:
1. “The establishment in the mid
dle East of the Russian influence
which the Czars sought in vain for
centuries and which Communists
have achieved in a few months.”
2. “The breakdown of the West
ern alliance. This has been a su
preme objective of Soviet policy
since the end of the second World
War.”
The Stevenson speech was a con
tinuation of the criticism he has
poured on the Republican ad-
Sinai Peninsula. I ministration since the Middle East
his Wednesday | crisis broke.

DATELINE

Ken George
Leroy Hyltine wrote a letter to
The Battalion that expresses many
an Ag-gie’s thought. Who did paint
Sully, Aggies or Tea-Sips? We
all would like to believe the dirty
trick was done by them low-down
teasippers but most of us don’t
think so. The powers that be will
expel an Aggie for painting up
some other school’s campus, why
not expell an Aggie for painting-
up his own campus ?
The front page picture on
yesterday’s Batt showed two
Sophs being hazed by two
freshmen. We are for the
hazing but what was them
sophomores doing out side
without hats?
Eating in the A&M mess hall
isn’t what you would call “Din
ing Out” but the troops do have
to march over so why doesn’t the
Batt print the mess hall menus ?
We print the A&M Consolidated
chow chart.
A Texas playboy visiting New
York City was crossing the Hud
son River in his 1957 model lim
ousine, complete with air-condi
tioning, jeweled headlamps, a bar
and TV set, and a five-piece band
playing soft music from the rear
seat. Reaching the far side of the
George Washington Bridge, the
chauffeur was waved to a stop by
a bridge guard.
“Your toll fee, please,” announ
ced the attendant. “Fifty cents.”
The man from Texas, an oil bil
lionaire, of course, proceeded to
search his pockets for change,
then replied, “Sorry, pardner, but
I ain’t got a cent of silver in my
jeans. How much will you take
for the Bridge ? ”

LANGUAGE MADE SIMPLE: No. I
In this day of swift international communication;-!,
like radio, television, and the raft, it becomes increasingly
important for all of us to have a solid grounding in
foreign languages. Accordingly, I have asked the makers
of Philip Morris whether I might not occasionally forego
levity in this column and instead use it for a short lesson
in language.
“Of course, silly!” chuckled the makers, tousling my
yellow hair. Oh, grand men they are, the makers of
Philip Morris, just as full of natural goodness as the
cigarettes they make. “Of course, fond boy, you may
occasionally forego levity in this column and instead use
it for a short lesson in language!” said the makers and
tossed me up and down in a blanket until, rosy with
laughing, I bade them desist, and then we all had basins
of farina and smoked Philip Morrises and sang songs
until the campfire had turned to embers.

FOR YOUR INTERVIEW APPOINTMENT
For our first lesson in language, let us take up
French, which has often been called the lingua franca
of France. We will approach French in a new manner,
because, to be brutally frank, the way it is taught in our
colleges is archaic and obsolete. Why all this emphasis
on grammar? After all, when we get to France does it
matter if we can parse and conjugate? Of course not!
So for the first exercise, translate the following real,
true-to-life dialogue between two real, true-to-life French
men named Claude (pronounced Clohd) and Pierre (also
pronounced Clohd) :
CLAUDE: Good morning, sir. Can you direct me to
the nearest monk?
PIERRE: I have regret, but I am a stranger here
myself.
CLAUDE: Is it that you come from the France?
PIERRE: You have right.
CLAUDE: I also. Come, let us mount the airplane
and return ourselves to the France.
PIERRE: We must defend from smoking until the
airplane raises itself.
CLAUDE: Ah, now it has raised itself. Will you have
a Philippe Maurice?
PIERRE: Mercy.
CLAUDE: In the garden of my aunt it makes warm
in the summer and cold in the winter.
PIERRE: What a coincidence. In the garden of my
aunt too!
CLAUDE: Ah, we are landing. Regard how the air
plane depresses itself.
PIERRE: What shall you do in the France ?
CLAUDE: I shall make a promenade and see various
sights of cultural and Historical significance. What shall
you do?
PIERRE: I think I shall try to pick up the stewardess.
CLAUDE: Long live the France!
