The total security force will top 5,000. Secret Service agents will stand on every rooftop, peer down every manhole, and scan every human cluster along the inaugural route between the Capitol and the White House. Other agents will be hidden be neath the special platforms on which the incoming president will stand—at the Capitol where John F. Kennedy will take the oath and at the White House where We will watch the inaugural parade. Preparations for inaugural se curity began under Secret Service coordination soon after last No vember’s election. While fewer than 200 Secret Service agents will be involved, they will get help from several thousand Wash ington police, hundreds of service men and a team of plainclothes- men from Washington and other cities. The Secret Service is also counting on spectators to help protect Kennedy. “If anyone in the crowd should make a threatening move,” said Chief Inspector Michael Torina, “you can be sure someone near by would have the courage and alertness to act.”- Social Calendar The following clubs and or ganizations will meet on campus: Tonight The Aggie Band Wives Club will meet in the home of Sharon Matchett, 4501 College Main, at 7:30 p.m. The Amarillo Hometown Club will hold a meeting at 7:30 in Room 206 of the Academic Build ing.

The Pasadena Hometown Club Agriculture In Russia Upbraided it ir + How To Improve Your Grades “Sir, my grade should have been much better—but I’ve been very upset about my poor, sick grandmother lately!” By The Associated Press MOSCOW—So much that is wrong with Soviet agriculture has been disclosed in a nine-day ses sion of the Communist party’s Central Committee that stern measures taken by Premier Khru shchev seem to be the -minimum necessary to whip up production. Theft of crops, bribery of man ufacturers in order to get trac tors, faked harvest reports de signed to hide production failures —all these have been brought out under biting questions of Khru shchev at the assembly which ended Wednesday. Khrushchev told farm leaders and local party officials that pro duction in their areas is going to be the deciding factor as to whe ther they stay in power. “These jobs are not hereditary,” he warned. heard Khrushchev’s upbraiding in meetings behind closed doors and then have seen the whole affair published in Pravda, the Commun- .ist party paper. With its many local editions, Pravda covers the Soviet Union like the winter snow. Those who produced well got kindly words. Those who slacked off got a public blistering.

First on the agenda: A second White House conference with President Eisenhowep. Friday their roles will be re versed; Eisenhower will become a private citizen and Kennedy will step into the White House. Kennedy has maintained cordial relations with Eisenhower in spite of the hard fought campaign. This, is a marked contrast to Eisenhower’s relations with hig predecessor, Harry S. Truman. At their first post-election meeting Dec. 6, Kennedy and Eisenhower talked alone together for an hour and 50 minutes. Eisenhower was reported much impressed with the man he sar castically called “this young genius” during the campaign. At his final news conference Wednesday, Eisenhower said the transition to the Kennedy admin istration has been going splen didly. Kennedy has a tight schedule for the rest of the day. Later in the morning he confers with Gen. Lyman Lemnitzer, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and with Najeeb Halava, deputy chief of the Federal Aviation Admin istration. In the afternoon are confer ences with Arthur J. Goldberg, secretatry of labor-designate, and with the AFL-CIO Executive Council; also a governors’ re ception. The evening is taken up with social events, one a party in honor of Eleanor Roosevelt. Then he attends an inaugural concert and a mammoth gala at the Armory staged by Frank Sinatra and Kennedy’s brother-in-law, Peter Lawford. w A K3 ¥ I S3> USED BOOKS Get Best Prices Possible STUDENT CO-OP North Gate bbhhi FOR AIRLINE RESERVATIONS & TICKETS FOR INTERVIEW TRIPS BEVERLEY BRALEY Travel Service VI 6-7744 Special 30 day Credit Arrangements Available SALE CORDUKOY SUITS $27.95 15% OFF ON TOP COATS AND CAR COATS 10% OFF ON MEN’S DRESS PANTS ALL AT LEON B.

ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst Premier Khrushchev’s speech explaining last fall’s Interna tional Communist manifesto serves primarily to confirm West ern estimates of Red intentions regarding war and coexistence. Unless capitalism yields to the type of economic and ideological war now being waged, if it in sists on resisting, then the Com munists will resort to war, even thermonuclear war, to attain their end of world proletarian dictatorship. That’s what Khrushchev said. That’s the blackmail inherent in the current position of Inter national Communism. is a key here to his policy in Laos. If the speech truly represents Communist intent, it is the frank est discussion yet, by a leading authority, on the role of war in the Communist blueprint for con quest. It supports the theory, long held by many Western observers, that the great danger of war will come when the Communists are threatened with loss of the cold war, or if the West allows talks of coexistence to weaken its de fense posture. Or, too, if the West faces loss of the cold war. From the excerpts so far avail able, it appears that Khrushchev has the agreement of other Com munist states for an intense po litical drive against West Berlin this year, but one which will be The non-Communist world is to be weakened as far as possible with pacifism. Peaceful coexist ence Khrushchev says, is an in tense economic, political and ideo logical struggle which makes it easier to combat what he calls imperialism. His crusade for disarmament, as a part of that struggle, is de signed to narrow the ability of the capitalist countries to make war, he says. But since the other countries will not go along, the Soviet Union will conduct an in tensive military buildup. Nuclear war and “brush fires” which could spread are best avoided, the Communist leader says, but full Red support should be given national liberation ef forts as in Algeria. Maybe there SAC Planes In Skies 24 Hours By The Associated Press OMAHA—The Strategic Air Command announced today that U. S. heavy bombers now are in the air around the clock. Gen. Thomas S. Power, SAC commander-in-chief, said an un specified number of B52s are in the air at all times. About' two- dozen bases are involved, he said. Power said the indoctrination phase of the airborne alert train ing program has been completed and now all combat-ready B52 bomber crews are participating in airborne alert training mis sions under realistic conditions. He said the program is in keeping with the U. S. policy of being prepared, and is designed “to reduce to an absolute mini mum the time required by SAC bombers to respond to any hostile action t>y an aggressor.” AGGIES NEXT SEMESTERS BOOK LIST IS NOW AVAILABLE AT £o44fLoii s er NOW SHOWING - TitM* Saturday Nite Prev. 11 p. m.
