The Battalion PAGE 2 College station (Brazos County), Texat Thursday, January 8, 1959 Interpreting Red Iron Curtain Hiding Shakeups By J. M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst The Communist hierarchy in the Soviet Union has resumed beating what the West had con sidered the dead horse of the Malenkov-Mylotov-Bulganin anti party group, suggesting that all the devils of ferment have not yet been cast out of Soviet poli tics. The latest attack centers on ex-Premier Bulganin, poor old goat of Khrushchev’s renuncia tion of collective government. The marshal is accused of being- more self-defensive than penitent in his recent confession of sins against the hierarchy. The question is: Against what sort of agitation is this new out burst directed ? If the West knew more about the internal political pressures of the Soviet Union, its judgment would be better about some of the external manifestations. The Soviet first deputy pre mier and economic expert, Anas tas I. Mikoyan, is now on what he calls an unofficial visit to the United States. He talks of Berlin, and inter national trade, and possible set tlement of conflict. Mikoyan, Khrushchev & Co., jean attend to the little things as well as the big ones, sometimes appearing even childish in want ing to appear to lead in the pro duction of stick candy as well as rockets. Are the people learning things which shouldn’t seep through the Iron Curtain ? Are pressures building up? You will recall that the revisionist Communists of Yugoslavia got excited about an American supermarket dis play, and are now getting them. There is an innate desire among the Russians to he con sidered as good as anybody. The theory that men will not submit themselves indefinitely to state regimentation of thought and life and love and work does not appear to have much applica tion in the Soviet Union. But does it? Are there really devils of fer ment which have not been cast out? We Aggies like to read about Wee Ag gies.

(Doug) Walsh, 18- yeai--old freshman business ad ministration major from Ope lousas, La., is a gung-ho Aggie, but admits, like most Aggies, that the best times he has had at Ag- gieland were the Christmas vaca tion and the Corps trips. “I really like this place,” Doug said “but I guess it’s like a pris on in one respect—there’s nothing- like a parole.” Born and reared in Opelousas where his dad is the district mana ger for United Gas Corp., Doug graduated from Opelousas High School in 1958. He lettered two years in football as a tackle, was a member of the debate and speech teams, and was elected as the state Junior Stewart of the DelVTolay. Having selected Texas A&M as the college to attend, Doug decid ed to get the most out of the Atomic Rodents on Campus 1 Helping Medical Science By GEORGE OHLENDORF Atomic rats and mice have in vaded the A&M campus. More than 1,000 white rats and mice have found their way to the campus where they are undergoing tests. These rodents are being ex posed to low intensity radiation in a concrete structure in “F” Shack to determine radiation ef fects on healing fractures, repro duction, nutrition and blood cells. The project is being conducted by the Department of Biology and the United States Army Sur- THURSDAY & FRIDAY ALAN '> CMNNE WILLIAM „ JOHN TWIST MART III RACKIII HARRY BROWN .

The source of radiation is Co balt 60 and the animals are ex posed to it continually for a per iod of 23 hours. One hour is re quired for analysis and feeding of the animals and cleaning of the pens. Approximately 1,000 animals are being treated at the present time. An 18-inch concrete wall sur rounds the radiation facility and the entire building has been re novated. It is equipped with two laboratories, a control room, an office and a photography room. X-rays of rodents’ fractured legs are analyzed in Denton at Texas Woman’s University. The researchers say anyone in terested in this project is invited to come by the building to see just what is going on. \p DfilVE IN “Mcthi aihi * m .

Besides playing intramurals for his outfit, Doug is a member of the Southwest Louisiana Hometown Club. “I’ve gotten a lot out of A&M,” said Doug. “I guess the most im pressive thing about this college is the Aggie spirit and the ‘stick togetherness’ of the students.” A golfer and hunter, Doug re cently undertook andther hobby to while away the hours at home. He is interested in hot-rod racing and bought a ’51 Chevy to do a little scootin’ in. “I plan to put a souped-up ’46 V-8 Ford motor in it soon,” Doug said. Doug added that the racing fever really got him when he took part in his first and only race— so far—last summer. He drove his family car in a match and placed third. Senate, House Start Sessions Midst Disorder By ARTHUR EDSON WASHINGTON (A»)_Congress came back to work—in an un usual mood. Republicans arguing with Re publicans, Democrats and Repub licans ready for filibustering blows at the drop of a Senate ruling. Let’s see if we can decipher a few notes jotted down on the back of an old fight score card: Arrived at the Senate early. Peered down at the best evidence yet of what happened in the No vember elections. Democrats, who sit to the right of the cham ber as Vice President Nixon looks out at them, so jammed together they’re likely to be dipping into each other’s snuff boxes. Repub licans far apart, with plenty of open spaces. Hustled over to the House. Still buzzing over the fight that benched the GOP leader, Rep. Joseph W. Martin of Massachu setts, after all these years, for Rep. Charles A*. Halleck of Indi ana. Hustled back to the Senate. Senators beginning to gather. Waving to relatives in the gal lery. Yoo-hooing like school girls. And over their heads, in the visitor’s gallery, was another old senator. Fellow named Harry Truman. Truman leaned on ban nister, a violation of the Senate rules, but' usher said nothing. Couldn't figure out if usher was a fraidy cat or a Democrat. Senators sworn in in batches of four. New senators escorted by old senators from same state, even when they were of opposite parties. Watched the two Alaska Demo crats draw to see how many years they would serve, two, four or six. Sen. Ernest Gruening drew four years, and Sen. E. L. Bart lett got ready to go for broke, six years or only two. “Bet he craps out,” reporter on the left said. And he did. He got the two-year slip, losing four years in the Senate quicker than you could say, “I demand a recount.” Noticed Truman had left. De cided to hustle back to the House. Learned that Truman had got there first, and had received a big ovation, and that a man named Sam Rayburn was about to be. elected as speaker. All seemed under control, but stick around. It looks like an exciting session. STATEMENT OF CONDITION OF COLLEGE STATION STATE BANK AT CLOSE OF BUSINESS December 31, 1958 RESOURCES Cash .$1,267,760.24 U. S.
