Interpreting
Red Trade Plan
Offers No Profit
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
Europeans trying to do busi
ness with the Soviet Union un
der recently relaxed trade regu
lations aren’t finding the profits
they had expected.
They are finding the Soviet
purchase pattern spotty.
There is evidence that the Reds
are more interested in purchas
ing production models which can
be copied than in buying to meet
consumer consumption directly.
This is an old Soviet habit.
Long before World War II the
Reds were frequently more inter
ested in blueprints even than in
production models.
They bought blueprints for ma
chines and for tanks and, inci
dentally, made more from the lat
ter than did the United States.
In those days the Soviet spy
was more likely to be interested
in an American industrial process
or a German chemical process
than in military secrets.
This effort to compress the
world’s industrial revolution into
a brief period for Soviet purposes
has now become a major factor
in the cold war.
Adlai Stevenson reports from
his latest visit that Soviet engi
neers are doing a real job of re
placing lend-lease and other
Western machinery acquired
years ago with modern models of
their own. There is much kin
ship, then, between what the
Reds are doing now and what
the Japanese did after realizing
their industrial backwardness
years ago. They copied the West,
raced toward industrialization,
and began to compete with the
countries which were ahead of
them in the industrial revolution.
They finally tried to take over
a vast area with a billion people
as their private trading preserve,
and got themselves into a disas
trous war.
The Soviet “spot” buying is an
additional clue to the methods by
which she intends to prosecute
the cold war.
She already is selling at a loss
and buying at a premium when
it suits her political purposes. To
do so, her dictatorship can with
hold food and products from the
internal economy almost at will
in order to establish entangling
trade relations abroad.
In addition, she is producing
actual surpluses, such as pig iron,
which will soon be used the same
way. She can dump, surpluses to
disturb world market-disturbance
always being one of her chief
stocks in trade. Or she can start
supplying underdeveloped coun
tries and then cut them off it
they refuse to swallow her polit
ical program.
All this enhances the problems
of an already unstable world, in
which the transition from coloni
alism to the independence of un
derdeveloped nations would be a
sufficient problem in itself.
It faces both governments and
private enterprise with problems
with which they are not familiar,
in a type of warfare in which
neither old-fashioner gunboats or
new-fangled bombs are of value.

Bob Reeh Became ‘Hunted’
On Would-Be Deer Hunt
By JACK TEAGUE
Robert A. (Bob) Reeh, 20-
year-old “topkick” of Squadron
17, well remembers a deer-hunt
ing day last year when he and
his dad thought they had become
the hunted instead of the hunt
ers.
It seems that Bob, a junior
civil engineering major from New
Braunfels, and his dad were walk
ing down a trail in a wooded sec
tion near home when they heard
what they thought were a couple
of deer running through the
brush.
“We were wrong, though,” said
Bob. “They weren’t in the brush,
Reds Submit
New Proposa l
On Space Age
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.—UP)
—-The Soviet Union submitted a
new proposal on outer space to the
United Nations Tuesday. It went
a long way toward meeting the
position of the United States and
breaking an East-West deadlock.
Soviet Dep. Foreign Minister
Valerian Zorin placed the new pro
posal before the 81-nation Politi
cal Committee. It had these im
portant elements:
1. It dropped previous Soviet
demands that abolition of U. S.
overseas military bases be tied in
with the question of international
control of outer space.
2. It proposed the creation of
a 11-nation study group to pre
pare the groundwork for a per
manent U. N. committee for co
operation in the study of outer
space for peaceful purposes.
This came very close to a pro
posal being pushed by the United
States, Britain and 18 other pow
ers for creation of a special com
mittee to study all aspects of this
problem.
Zorin showed the new proposal
to U. S. Ambassador Henry Cabot
Lodge at a private conference prior
to its presentation to the Political
Committee.
Lodge welcomed it as “a sign
that the Soviet Union may be will
ing to cooperate in some peaceful
endeavor in outer space.”
Lodge told the committee the
Soviet proposal was being referred
to Washington for study. He said
“it looks as though progress has
been recorded today.”
But Zorin made clear at a news
conference that Soviet concessions
to the United States here did not
signify apy willingness tp make
similar moves in Geneva. Talks
are in progress there on ending-
nuclear weapons tests, and on
working out methods for detecting-
surprise attack.
In response to a question, Zorin
said the Soviet Union has a “per
fectly legitimate right’” to con
tinue nuclear tests during the
Geneva talks. He reiterated Soviet
insistence upon agreement to end
tests “for all time.”
H said also the Soviet Union
would continue to press for aboli
tion of U. S. overseas bases, and
a ban on sending military missiles
into outer space. He indicated this
might be done in the newly ex
panded 81-nation U. N. Disarma
ment Commission.
but on the trail. They came
around a corner about 10 feet in
front of us, and if we hadn’t
jumped to one side we’d have
been trodden in the dust by a
doe and run through by a mean
looking buck. And not only that,
but a greyhound following them
in hot pursuit gave us the idea
he’d just as soon feast on us as
on the deer.”
The strange tale connected
with this adventure is that neith
er the buck — which had been
wounded — nor the greyhound
were ever heard of again.
Bob has lived in New Braun
fels all his life. His dad is presi
dent of a bank there.
A graduate of New Braunfels
High School, Bob was a two-year
letterman in basketball, played
golf and tennis, was on the Stu
dent Council, National Honor So
ciety, and was selected by the

of the outstanding citizens of the
school.
It was Bob’s boss that inspired
him to come to Aggieland. “My
boss was a Class of ’47 graduate
when I worked for the Texas
Highway Dept, during the sum
mertime in high school. He was
‘gung-ho’, and I decided that if
he could still love this place and
have so much spirit after nine
years, A&M had something to of
fer me.”
Bob spent his “fish” year in
Squadron 20. When the Fifth and
Sixth Groups were merged, Bob
found himself with an entirely
new bunch. And as a junior he is
first sergeant of this “new
bunch,” 17.
This year Bob is a member of
the publicity committee o f
SCONA IV and the New Braun
fels Hometown Club. Last year
he was selected as the best-drilled
sophomore in the 6th Group.
Bob has just signed his Cate
gory II (pilot training) contract,
and plans to fly for five years.
“I’m either going to build
bridges or be a career service
man,” he has decided.
Besides being a great enthus
iast for nearly all sports and
many types of hunting, Bob is
also a travelling fan. He made
his first trip east of the Missis
sippi when he attended a South
ern Association of Student Coun
cils meeting while in high school.
He was representing his high
school at the Jackson, Miss., con
vention. “The four of us that
made the trip took time out to
make a stop in New Orleans,
first, and then Vicksburg. These
are two fine towns.”

once a province of Denmark. Ice
