Accounts have flowed in, esp ecially from the north, of per sons being raped, murdered and/ or battered before the eyes of supposedly law-abiding citizens who offered no assistance what soever. Puzzling as it is, people to day don't want to “get involved” and allow atrocious crimes to be committed in their presence ra ther than lend assistance and per haps destroy their disinvolvement privilege. Maybe the South hasn’t reach ed this unequivocal moral low; this is one privilege Southerners should gladly leave to their north ern counterparts. It is a long established rule that the South is generally a more friendly section than the north. Perhaps this accounts for Southerners’ readiness to “get in volved” in order to have their Study Says Reds Need U. S. Trade WASHINGTON ) _ Failures in Soviet economic policy may have made the time ripe for trade overtures between the Soviet Un ion and the United States, a study sponsored by the Committee for Economic Development said Wed nesday. The study saw sure defeat for the boasted Soviet aim of sur passing American output by 1970 — “or for a very long time after.” It also suggested that the Soviet Union may be risking loss of its world Communist lead ership to Red China, fellow man. Such is the case of two truck- drivers and several other witness es appearing in the murder trial of Rudolph G. Coffey Jr. in Bryan this week. The truckers — D. L. Harris and Millard F. Duke — deserve special mention for their partici pation in arraigning a danger ous criminal. They were driving by the scene of a fatal shootout involving an Elgin law officer, a state high way patrolman and another man. Bringing the California bound cattle truck to a halt about SO TS yards from the scene, Harris awoke the napping Duke and told him, “Some law officers are having trouble. They may need our help.” With this, Harris bolted from the truck cab and ran to a nearby service station to borrow a gun. His partner dressed and walked to the back of the truck. The gun duel ended, killing the Elgin policeman and seriously in juring the patrolman. The gun man was attempting to force a getaway with three college youths who had also stopped to assist the officers. Just as the gunman stepped into the car, Duke grabbed him from behind and struggled to take away his pistol. Harris returned, unable to se cure a gun, and rapped the gun man on the forehead. He then managed a choke hold on the gunman and kept him under control until authorities arrived. These two men, the three col lege youths and a passerby con tractor all became involved. They are now having to take time away from their regular duties to appear as state’s witnesses. This is what it must take if we are to preserve law and order. tEotam Hall Presents Spoon River G.

RYAN GP) Special Correspondent Soviet-Chinese relations seem just as cold as before the U. S. retaliatory blows against North Viet Nam. Perhaps the atmos phere is even colder. The indi cations are that the Red Chinese consider they have won an im portant round in their duel with the Soviet Communists. A deep crisis threatening gen eral war conceivably still could push the Soviet party closer to Peking, at least temporarily. But available evidence indicates the Russians fell into a Chinese trap. Peking was trying to inter rupt a trend toward better So- viet-American relations. the Chinese suspected Kosygin was trying to get a Soviet foot back in the Asian door. Peking also seemed to suspect Kosygin of trying tq defuse the Viet Nam situation, whose inherent dan gers appeared to be getting on Soviet nerves. Significantly while Kosygin was away, Euro pean satellite parties chorused proposals for an international conference to ease the dangers in Southeast Asia. There was a curious coinci dence between Kosygin’s arriv al in Hanoi and the sharp stepup in Viet Cong terror attacks against Americans in South Viet Nam. These could have been “I am more sensitive to our sidewalk problem than the average guy. What’s knee-deep to you is waist-deep to me!” College TV Network Designed For S. Florida The Russians had responded positively toward President John son’s suggestions of an exchange of top-level visits. This project now seems to be on ice as a result of what happened while Premier Alexei N. Kosygin was in North Viet Nam. The Soviet premier probably has returned to Moscow empty- handed and worried after his 11 days in the Far East. His mis sion — with stops in China and North Korea — appeared to be related to a prospective Moscow meeting March 1 of internation al Communist leaders, called by the Russians in attempt to muffle the Soviet-Chinese dis pute. By Intercollegiate Press Tampa, Fla. — A “college tele vision network” is in the making in west central Florida. The core of this TV network will be WUSF-TV, a new educational television station broadcasting on channel 16 from the University of South Florida campus. Although the first broadcasts are at least a year away, presi dents of the 11 colleges and uni versities located within the prime viewing area of WUSF-TV al ready have laid the foundation for the college network. The net work will bring in “performers” from each of the college facilities, and its programs will be utilized in the classrooms of all of the institutions. Why not, it was suggested, broadcast a basic set of lectures for such courses on the new tele vision station? Students at each college could watch the basic lec ture on television and then at tend a seminar or discussion group led by his own “local” pro fessor. The Soviet premier’s journey looked like an attempt to leap frog over China to seek Asian support for “a peaceful coexis tence” posture. He may also have hoped to persuade the Chinese to attend the March meeting of the 26 parties which drafted a 1960 Moscow declara tion of world Communist policy.
