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?

Louisiana ‘Fish’LikesA&M
But Prefers Parole’ Time
By JACK TEAGUE
Judson D. (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-

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.

“Dirty Dozen” 12. 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.
