KOSYGIN BLUNDERS
A recent television program
vividly portrayed an enigmatic
plague of the society in which we
live: criminal observing.
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 <A>) _ 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.

Soviet - Chinese Relations
Cold Despite Viet Raids
By WILLIAM L. 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.
There is a reason to believe

The college presidents realized
that a good deal of duplication
of effort takes place in the pre
sentation of basic introductory
courses on the 11 campuses. For
example, the colleges offer basic
courses in history, English, math

languages covering the same com
