Reds Admit Failure
VIENNA Austrian commun
ists admitted today that their
attempted general strike was a
failure. The Reds called off their
strike because of what they
called "Western pressure."
The kßussian-controlled radio in
Vienna announced the impossi
bility of obtaining a nation-wide
general strike, but threatened,
"The strike was not without re
sult. Our experience in fighting,
and our fighting unity has been
strengthened. Our fight has not
ended."
Violence was restricted to the
Russian zone of the nation. Vien
na's five main railroads were bar
ricaded, but Russian officials al
lowed no interference with Al

Faculty Pleased
Turning to President Eisen

your day, the faculty was well
pleased with your appointment

you."

Eisenhower had those qualities
of leadership which the College
needs and that the new president
would strengthen democracy with
his administration of the cam
pus. He also said that President
Eisenhower would recognize the
part that the faculty has to play
at Penn State.
Duncan gave credit to James
Milholland, president of the Board
of Trustees and former acting
president of the College, for com
petent leadership during the time
when Penn State was without a
regular president. .
He said that the interim be
tween presidents gave the trustees
time to choose a capable succes
sor to President Hetzel. Duncan
also said that Milholland was
backed by assistants who did a
fine job.

Eisenhower Says Education
Will Cure World's Troubles
Cure for the 'world's trouble is more—not less—educa
tion, President Milton S. Eisenhower told newsmen in a press
conference yesterday afternoon.
He and three of his four brothers chatted amiably on the
lawn at the presidential mansion before the brothers
Dwight, Earl and Edgar left for a game of golf on the
College course. Together since
Tuesday, the brothers have made
the inauguration ceremonies the
occasion for their annual reunion.
The Penn State president called
for more thinking along lines of
world education and understand
ing.
Military Service Needed
He said he thought some sort
of national military service pro
gram probably would be needed
for national defense, but that he
hoped a system would be worked
out which would not weaken the
nation's educational system.
Brother Dwight, former com
mander of Allied World War II
forces in Europe, said he was not
wishing Penn State "too good
luck" in the football game with
Army tomorrow. He said he was
"impressed" more by his brother's
inauguration here than by his
own two years ago at Columbia
university, where he now is pres-.
ident. He said' that it was more
fun sitting through an inaugura
tion as a spectator.

ently bad economic conditions.
The program also should include
a firmer support of the United
Nations so that disputes which
often arise among nations can be
kept from breaking into hostili
ties.
"And it must include power—
power which .the kindly people
of the world may use to enforce
peace upon . those who would
violate it." he declared.
The' president continued, saying
that he hoped that the United
Nations, after the present con
flict in Korea was over, would
maintain an international police
force to put down aggression
wherever it might occur.
Educational Aspect
Moving into the educational
aspect of today, President Eisen
hower said, "I am convinced that
democracy, in the face of ever
growing complexity, can be sus
tained only with an ever-rising
level of education and und_er-
Standing among all, people.
"Public education has never
quite caught up with the de
mand made upon it," President
Eisenhower said, "Too few and
poorly paid teachers, working in
under-equipped classrooms and
laboratories that bulge with too
many students, has been a pre
vailing condition of our educa
tional endeavor, from nursery
school to university, throughout
much of our history."
According to President Eisen
hower, one of the blessings of our
present situation, which tortured
times have placed the American
educational system in the land
grant college.
Five Points Stressed
President Eisenhower stressed
five points which the College
must achieve in making its con
tribution: specialized training for
the making of a living or a home;
an understanding of all broad
"fields of knowledge; competence
in communication; the ability to
make critical judgment; and an
abiding commitment to the dem
ocratic way of life.
k Here this morning I have the
high privilege of dedicating my
self to the service of the people
of the commonwealth," the new
president concluded.
