KHRUSHCHEV SPEECH SAYS World Comintinist Movement Supports Liberation Wars By The Associated Press MOSCOW — Soviet Premier Ni kita S. Khrushchev says the world Communist movement fully sup ports wars of national liberation. The Soviet leader in a 20,000- word speech published Tuesday in the magazine Kommunist called such conflicts a third class of war as distinguished from total ther monuclear and limited “brush fire” wars. Khrushchev declared that war is 'not necessary for a victory by World communism, which he said “is-not far off.” But he warned in his^ speech, a report delivered Jan. 6 to a general meeting of party organizations in Moscow, that war will come if cap italist nations try to resist com munism’s victoVy — a victory he said is “irievitable by the laws of historical development.” Third Class ■ Khrushchev cited the present Al gerian conflict as an example of the third class of war. Khrushchev said of Algeria: “It is a sacred of war. We rec ognize such wars. We have helped and shall go on helping people fighting for their freedom.” As another example he men tioned the revolution in Cuba and said that “led by Fidel Castro the people of Cuba won.” Khrushchev noted that the United States “did not directly intervene in that war.” His samples of the second class of war, local war which might de velop into big ones, were the In dochina fighting of 1953-54 and British-French action in Suez in 1956. He made no mention of the fighting in Laos. He said it was to communism’s advantage to avoid annihilating thermonuclear and “brush, fire” wars. Khrushchev also declared the Soviet Union was sincerely for dis armament which he called “the most important factor in prevent ing war,” and also an important factor in the fight against im- perialisrp.

He predicted that “fascist dun geons in the Union of South Afri ca will crumble to dust. Rhodesia, Uganda and other parts of Africa will be free.” “The working class, which today governs a vast area of the world and in time will rule the whole world,” Khrushchev said, “cannot allow the doomed forces of impe rialism to drag hundreds of mil lions of people into the grave with them.” One of the means for preventing a new war is the development of “peace fronts” throughout the world, including pacifists of all po litical beliefs, he said. Another is the policy of peace ful coexistence. He said the policy of peaceful coexistence “facilitates the activi ties of the Communist party and other progressive organizations of the working class in the capitalist countries, makes it easier for the peoples to combat aggressive war blocs and foreign military bases and contribute to the success of the national liberation movement. Two A&M THE BATTALION Biologists Author Book Wednesday, January 18,1961 College Station, Texas Page 8 “A Manual of Common Beetles of Eastern North America” is the title of a new book by two A&M biologists. The authors are Dr. Lawrence S. Dillon, associate professor in the Department of Biology, and his wife, Elizabeth. The 896-page book was published Jan. 1 by Row Peterson and Co. Pictures include 17 full color fig ures by Dr. Dillon and 1,800 black and white illustrations. The book is expected to be widely used by amateur collectors and experts. Work on the manual was begun in 1934 and continued with brief interruptions until its publication this year. Dr. Dillon came to A&M in 1$48 and has since had 30 research pa pers published in the fields of sys tematic zoology and evolution. A second book of his, “A Manual of General Biology,” is being pub lished by the Macmillan Co. Mrs. Dillon received her degree in biology at the University of Pittsburgh. She is a member of the A&M Department of Poultry Science and is conducting research in experimental embryology. ‘DEAD WEEK’ VIEWS (Continued From Page 1) oring in economics, said, “Finals are next week and I haven’t had any review whatsoever in any of my courses. A student can review much more effectively with help from his professors.” Voris Riley, senior from Odessa majoring in journalism, said, “An ideal situation for the week before finals would be that all labs were completed before the w^ek ever started, and all major quizzes were already given. “As it is, I have major quizzes like everyone else, and many of us are beginning to wonder just what happened to dead week as it used to be known. “Several years ago, the week be fore finals was truly a time dedi cated to studying for the finals, with no obstructions. Now, it is just a week where the profs try to craju what’s left in the course that they haven’t taught, into their stu dents’ notes, so they can be held responsible for this on the final,” Mickey Metcalf, junior industrial distribution major from Dalhart, said, “The only thing dead about dead week is the students, after it is over. “This week, supposedly set aside for everyone to review for finals, or complete their preparations for finals, by no means allows anyone time to do this. “The professors do have an ar gument, in that many of them feel it would be impossible to arrange their courses where everything is finished two weeks before final “However, when professors, and many of them do, more or less ‘take it easy’ during the semester and spend too much time covering- one segment of a course, the only solution is to era m about t w p months of material coverage into the three weeks after the Christ mas holidays. “I’m not suggesting that the school be closed for a week, and everyone go home to study. This would never work, but if the lead were cut down somewhat instead of increased during the last week before the finals, I believe there would be a marked improvement in overall final grades,” said Metcalf.
