DeGualle Looks
Toward Leading
Western World
By JAMES MARLOW
Associated Press News Analyst
WASHINGTON (AP)—French
Pi&sident Charles de Gaulle, iron-
willed at 68, acts like a man de
termined, if he has to, to take
over the leadership of the West.
He has already asserted a lot of
it.
This week the Frenchman, so
proud he dislikes using I'eading
glasses in public, dictated to his
Western partners and the Soviet
Union the time and conditions
for a summit conference.
At an extraordinary news con
ference De Gaulle, who heads a
second-rate power but persists
in thinking of it in terms of
grandeur, put on an amazing show
of memory, calmness and
strength.
British Prime Minister Harold
MacMillan’s attitude toward a
summit meeting has been: The
sooner the better. President Ei
senhower and Premier Nikita
Khrushchev have seemed to fa
vor such a meeting sooner rather
than later.
But De Gaulle, after taking
oyer France and giving it more
stability than it has had since
World War II, decided by himself
that haste was unwise. He even
put a stiff “if” on any summit
conference at all.
Before there’s a summit, he
said, he must meet with Khrush
chev in March; there must be an
improvement in the international
climate and the Western partners
must be agreed on how to deal
with Khrushchev.
And, just to be sure, he told
Eisenhower and MacMillan, his
pre-summit get-together with
them in December should be fol
lowed by another after he talks
with Khrushchev in March.
This is only part of his state
ments at the news conference.
They ranged from pensions, for
French veterans of World War I
to a prediction the Chinese Com
munists would ultimately be their
Soviet friends’ greatest peril.
Altogether the text of his news
conference toop up a solid news- -
paper page.
In the end De Gaullle may
have proved extremely wise in
insisting upon complete prepara
tions for the summit. Otherwise,
he warned, the summit may turn
into disaster.
sent to Cadet Colonel of the
Coips William B. Heye by John
W. Hill, director of A&M College
Station Civil Defense.
The letter is as follows:
“Commander
Corps of Cadets
A&M College of Texas
Campus
Dear Sir:
On behalf of the Brazos County
Civil Defense and the A. and M.
College-College Station Defense,
I wish to express to you our sin
cere appreciation for the assis
tance given by Units of the
Corps in moving 90,000 pounds
of foamite on Sunday, November
8, 1959, for use by the Houston
Civil Defense on the fire involv
ing the SS Amoco Virginia in
the Houston Ship Channel.
The A. and M. College-College
Station Civil Defense was re
quested to assist in moving the
90,000 pounds of foamite from the
Animal Husbandry Pavilion on
the Campus to Easterwood Air-
port, for transfer to Houston by
United States Air Force planes.
Our local Civil Defense organi
zation mustered the available
manpower, but found itself short.
A call to the Corps of Cadets
for voluntary manpower brought
a wonderful response. The Corps
personnel were most cooperative,
and the operation was carried out
most orderly. I would like to
commend the Corps on its or
ganizational ability as shown in
this activity.
Please pass on to the individu
al Units involved the apprecia
tion of our local organizations
for their voluntary assistance in
this time of emergency.
Sincerely
Pohn W. Hill, Director
A. and M. College-
College Station
Civil Defense”
