Eisenhower landed here Wed nesday night and received a warm welcome to Texas. A cold, biting wind did not cut into the warmth of a greeting to the Republican President from Democrats—most of them friendly —and about 300 others on hand to welcome him. Air Force personnel, their fami lies and children were warmly dressed for the occasion. Senate Democratic Leader Lyn don Johnson, who lives at Stone wall, and Rep. Homer Thornberry (D-Tex) of Austin were aboard the presidential plane. Gov. Price Daniel and Mayor Tom Miller of Austin—b o t h Democrats—w i t h Col. Howard Moore, commanding officer of the B52 Stratofort Berg strom AFB, officially welcomed the President back to the state of his birth. Texas voted for Eisenhower in 1952 and 1956. His only outspoken supporter of the Texas welcoming group was Daniel, who backed him in the first election. Eisenhower and his party aboard the Columbine III remained over night for a strictly rest stop at Bergsti'om. The presidential plane took off at 6:30 a.m. and arrived at 10 a.m. at Acapulco. There Eisenhower is visiting with Presi dent Adolfo Lopez Mateos of Mex ico. Eisenhower last visited Texas in January 1957. He toured the drought area near San Angelo in West Texas. The tour was a suc cess—a month later rains" began to fall and later broke the drought.

HEP HIGH SCHOOL . NUTLEY, N. J. (A*)—Members of the graduating class at Nutley High School won’t have to work hard to remember important oc casions that involved their class. Each student was given a 45 RPM record containing the sounds of the ninth grade prom, the open ing of the senior play and other events. The record slips into a special pouch in the class yearbook. WASHINGTON (A 5 )—The great problem which John Foster Dulles —or his successor at the State De partment—must face in the next two years is the changing balance of power between the Soviet Un ion and the United States. In in dustrial and space-age military production, the Soviet Union is moving up very fast. Since the beginning of the cold war United States political and military policy has been based on a power balance in favor of the Western Allies. The basic assump tion has been that the Soviet Un ion would use its miltary power to promote political expansion if it dared, but it didn’t dare. In January, 1954, Dulles gave this concept a name: “massive retali ation.” About 18 months ago concern over the reliability of this doctrine as a mainstay of world peace spread through the Western camp. There \yere three reasons. In Aug ust, 1957, the Soviet Union an nounced successful testing of an intei’continental ballistic missile. Sputnik Launching On the following Oct. 4 it launched its historic Sputnik, the first man-made moon. On Oct. 7 Moscow announced the develop ment of “a mighty hydrogen war head of a new design.” The United States military re sponse to these Soviet achieve ments has been to begin putting Dulles has given United States foreign policy the deep imprint of these ingredients of his own think ing—long-range hope about win ning out in the end, eternal vigi- nuclear missiles into NATO terri- Uaiice against being lured into an Summer Electricity Course Announced A special course in electricity will be offered during the 1959 summer session to professional men in industrial and electrical fields, according to James L. Boone, assistant professor in the Department of Industrial Educa tion. The new course deals with the study of practical uses of electri city and development of instruc tional material, Boone said. The purpose of the course, ac cording to Boone, is to teach jun ior and senior high school instruc tors better methods of preparing young Americans to live in the world of electricity. The greatest response to the course is expected to come from high school teachers of industrial arts and electricity, he added. BA Clubs to Host Panel Discussions Business administration clubs will host a panel discussion series in the Assembly Room of the Me morial Student Center Tuesday night at 7:30, said Dr. David R. Fitch, professor of business admin istration and coordinator for the panel. Speakers from various areas of business and industry will com pose the five-man panel sponsored by the Texas Manufacturers As sociation. All interested students and fac ulty members are invited to at tend the series, said Fitch. tory in Europe, where Allied gov ernments agreed to receive them, and to speed up missile and de velopment production programs and ICBM bases in this country. The direct answer to this condi tion of peril seems to be some form of disarmament backed up by international inspection against surprise attack. Dulles and Presi dent Eisenhower along with Allied leaders have tried to negotiate disarmament pacts with the Soviet Union. But all efforts have failed to date because Soviet leaders charge that any inspection system which wmuld be effective in Wes tern eyes is merely a device for spying in their country. 1958 Meeting In meeting the 1958 Mideast and Quemoy crises Dulles followed ia philosophy he expounded early in his term as Secretary of State. It has come to be known as “brink manship” after he talked in a magazine interview about the ne cessity of going “to the brink” of war in order to make another na tion back down when it threatened aggression. , “The time may come,” Dulles said at the 1955 Summit confer ence, “I believe it will come—w'hen Russians of stature will patriotic ally put first their national secur ity and the welfare of their people. They w r ill be unable to have that security and that welfare subor dinated to the woi’ld wide ambi tions of international communism. “If their point of view should prevail, then indeed there could be a basis for worthwhile negotiations and practical agreement between the United States and Russia.” Soviets Began Last Fall At a recent news conference, how r ever, Dulles dealt wdth the other side of the coin. He said the move by the Soviets beginning last November to oust the Western Powers from Berlin demonstrated that they cannot be trusted to keep agreements. But agreements wuth the Soviets are acceptable if they can be made self-enforcing, he added, and the Western Powers must explore every opportunity for making such agreements as that. unworkable agreement, and the will together with the arms to fi^ht if the Soviet challenge ever goes that far. These fundamen tals will carry over into the com ing years whether his hand or an other charts the course. But whether the policies derived from them are adequate to meet the threat of growing Soviet pow er and to hold the Allies together is the question confronting Allied capitols. The evidence is that the Yvestern world has only begun to face up to the implications of rap idly expanding Soviet power and Red China’s ruthless determination to realize its own potential in the nuclear age.
