Ike Welcomed
In Austin; Goes
On to Mexico
AUSTIN t#*)—President Dwight
D. 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

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

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.
