Reds Change Often
As Revolving Door
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
Soviet Premier Nikita
Khrushchev’s footwork in the
past few weeks has inspired
Everett M. Dirksen, Senate Re
publican leader, to remark that
‘‘he changes position as fast as
the slots' in a revolving door.”
To many observers, this
merely means that the Soviet
leader is full of chicanery.
Any objective analysis, consid
ering Soviet purposes, must nev
ertheless credit the Kremlin
leader with rather astonishing
versatility.
For 10 years one of the most
immediate Communist objectives,
directly connected with the
whole theme of world conquest,
has been to weaken NATO, and
eliminate it if possible.
Khrushchev, working for the
neutralization of West Beilin,
would like to make it an initial
step toward neutralization ‘ of
West Germany.
Failing that, he would like to
begin the Communist infiltration
of West Germany by extending
Soviet occupation prerogative
into West Berlin through his
four-power military control sug
gestion, without offering the
West similar rights in East Ber
lin.
For more than a year one of
the formal objectives has been to
rebuild the bridges burned years
ago between communism and so
cialism.

Preparations Are Now Underway
For Annual Atomic Energy Meeting
Highlights and Sidelights
Legislature Hassles
Over Money Raising
By VERN SANFORD
Texas Press Association
AUSTIN, Tex.—If you can’t
beat it, don’t knock it.
That sentiment, in varying
forms, is being often expressed
by legislators struggling to write
tax bills to fill the yawning holes
in the state’s money supply.
People who come before the
Legislature to oppose a money
raising proposal usually get a
tart invitation to come up with
a better one.
Opponents of a tobacco tax
plan get short shrift before the
House Committee. “If you come
criticizing, don’t you think you
should come up with some solu
tion to the tax problem?” asked
Rep. H. J. Blanchard of Lubbock.
Similarly, anyone who comes
to push a money-spending bill is
challenged to produce a money
making bill to match it.
Rep. Don Gladden of Fort
Worth drew cheers from fellow
House members when he criti
cized the approach of a teachers’
letter writing campaign. Glad
den said the teachers had been
instructed to ask for higher pay
but make no statement on what
taxes they would favor.
ROCKY-ROAD — Overall, the
tax picture is still “all shook
up.”
Rep. Jamie Clements’ bill to
remove the tax exemption or;
cigarettes sold on military bases
was sent by the House Taxation
Committee to Atty. Gen. Will
Wilson. Question to Wilson is
whether the tax can collect a
tax from a federal agency.
A proposed liquor tax hike
suddenly gained redoubled pot
ency when the spdnsor, Rep. Pete
LaValle tacked on an amend
ment that would legalize liquor-
by-the-drink sales. Gov. Daniel,
who had urged the original bill,
promptly protested. Bill was sent
to subcommittee for study.
House Appropriations Commit
tee apparently is taking note of
the Tax Committee’s rocky road.
It is reportedly doing some pain
ful paring of spending requests.
WIDE OPEN FIELD — Mean
while, many more “little tax”
ideas are swirling about. Most
apparently are aimed at avoid
ing a bitter deadlock over a
new “big tax.”
Rep. Rufus Kilpatrick of
Beaumont introduced a bill to
tax gross receipts of scrap metal
sales, and Rep. W. T. Oliver,
Port Neches, a five per cent
gross - receipts tax on advertis
ing sold by newspapers, radio
and TV stations and billboards.
Oliver also is said to be consid
ering taxes on phonograph rec-
oi’ds and parking lots.
Other possibilities being dis
cussed are (1) a 1.5 per cent
general sales tax, exempting
food, feed and fertilizer, by
Rep. Seeligson of San Antonio,
(2) an across-the-board increase
in the omnibus tax system which
includes almost all present lev
ies, (3) a registration fee for
airplanes, similar to auto licens
ing.
COLLEGE EXPANSION
OKAYED — Elevation of two
junior colleges — Arlington
State and John Tarleton — to
full four-year status has been
approved by the House.
Economy advocates protested
that “we have 16 fully supported
state four-year colleges now —
more than any other state.”
Mrs. Linda Allen
Girl-Type Ag
Added to Batt
The mighty fortress of
masculine supremacy that
has characterised The Bat
talion in the past is no
more: they’ve added a girl-
type Aggie wife to their
staff. *

wishing to notify her of club
meetings call her as least

7292 in the mornings or at

Preparations are underway for
the presentation of the second an
nual conference on the Utilization
of Atomic Energy to be held at
the Memorial Student Center on
Nov. 12-13.
The conference date has been
changed from the spring to the fall
in order to avoid conflict with
another atomic energy conference
being held elsewhere, according to
Dr. R. E. Wainerdi, local chairman
of the conference.
Sessions of the conference will
be divided into a study of the phy
sical sciences on the first day and
a study of the life sciences such
as biology, medicine, etc. on the
second day.
The conference will take up the
topics of nuclear reactors, radio
active isotopes, thermonuclear
power and other aspects of the
atomic energy field, according to
Wainerdi.
Committee members for the con
ference are: Dr. William C. Banks,
veterinary medicine; Dr. George
M. Krise, biology; Prof. Robert B.
Bossier, petroleum engineering;
Dr. Wayne C. Hall, plant physiol
ogy and pathology; Dr. Raymond
Reiser, biochemistry and nutrition;

Richard G. Bader, oceanography
and meteorology; Prof. John D.
Randall, mechanical engineering;
Dr. Bruce A. Rogers, mechanical
engineering; Mr. Charles E. Gos

El Salvador
Visits Ike
By ARTHUR EDSON
WASHINGTON UP) _ A new
set of flags lined the road from
the airport to the White House
Tuesday.
“Who’t coming to see us now?”
asked the drowsy man in the car-
pool.
“The President of El Salvador,”
said the fellow who had gotten up
early enough to read the papers.
“El Salvador?” asked the drow
sy man. “What’s that?”
What’s that indeed! Why, El
Salvador is the smallest, most
densely populated, most industrial
ized and most prosperous of the
Central American republics, that’s
what.
One of the friendliest, too. In
time of trouble, she rushed to our
help. The day after Pearl Harbor,
El Salvador loyally declared war
on Japan.
A small friend can be just as
treasured as a large one, so let’s
trot around to the National Geo
graphic Society’s library and see
what’s what south of the border.
El Salvador, on the Pacific, prob
ably is our least-visited neighbor.
