ike Urges
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Dec.
8 (JP) —President Eisenhower to
day proposed that all the atomic
!. powers—Russia included—pool at
least part of their atomic resour
ces for peaceful purposes.
With a warning that the nu
clear arms race threatens to wipe
out civilization, the President
urged: that nations with atomic
know-how contribute nuclear ma
terials to an international agency
to .be set up under UN sponsor
ship.
He suggested that the atomic
powers' begin private talks im
mediately on such a project with
out Waiting for the establishment
of a system of inspection—one of
the stumbling blocks in previous
atomic discussions.
Eisenhower flew here from the
Big Three conference in Bermu
da, where he won British and
French approval of his idea, to
unfold it in the., brightest spot
light of world publicity.

Nothing will do more to help
the Latin America-U. S. economic,
military, political, and cultural re
lationships than stabilization of
U.S. tariff laws and guarantees of
maintaining them, he said.
Most of the misunderstanding
between the U.S. and South
America is generated by the trade
question. Since they export to us
and import from us to a great
extent, their economy is wrapped
up in ours, particularly in regard
to tariffs. A change in a tariff
regulation on tin, for example,
can wreck a South American
country over night.
Population increase, lack of
transportation and power, and
poor management now trouble
Latin American industry, but
their greatest need is capital, he
said.
What he called ultra-national
ism, which is fomented in South
America by the Communists, has
scared off much foreign and local
investment capital. Another fac
tor, he said, they felt which in
tensified their need for capital
was U.S. aid to Europe and the
Far and Middle East, but not to
South America.
Need Understanding
The. U.S. and,Latin American
countries, he said, must persist
ently and consistently follow "a
program based on general human
understanding, • mutual respect,
mutual security and adherence to
common goals.
Outside the economic problem,
he described Latin American un
derstanding of us as much better
than ours of them.
He cited examples of universi
ties and schools which promoted
better understanding of the U.S.'
Suggests Stockpiling
In addition to tariff stabiliza-.
tion, Dr. Eisenhower listed other
ways in which the U.S. can help
South America. We can maintain
and expand our technological pro
gram, he said. He also suggested
a policy of massive stock piling
of South American products while
prices are declining.
-Latin America is our biggest
cash trade area, he pointed out.
The U.S. sells and buys $3.5 bil
lion worth of goods there. We
have invested 30 per cent of our
foreign investment capital in
Latin America. Good economic,
political, cultural and military
relationships between this coun
try and South America, he con
cluded, are imperatives, but can
be obtained only if all the coun
tries work at improving their
understanding of each other.
Nuclear Arms Pool
cause of the development of atom
ic power; He reported for the first
time publicly that atomic bombs
nowadays are 25 times as pow
erful as thdse which wiped out
Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
Moreover; the President said in
measured tones, the United States
.has reached such a stage in atom
ic development that these wea
pons “have virtually achieved
conventional status., within our
armed services.”
“In the first place, the secret is
possessed by our friends and al
lies, Great Britain, and Canada.”
Eisenhower went on in slow and
solemn measures to proclaim:
■ “The secret is also, known by
the Soviet Union.”
The United States, he said, had
a head-start and now .holds a
“great quantitative • ..advantage”
over the Soviet Union. Neverthe
less,. he declared, the facts of mod
ern atomic life are these: -
“First, the knowledge now pos
sessed by four nations will even
tually be shared by others.
“Second, even a vast superior-

Following the opening selec

included in the second part of
the program will be Sonata, Opus

consequent capability of devas
tating retaliation, is no preven

material damage and toll of hu

by surprise aggression.”
Apparently to convince the lis
tening world that. the United
States was not offering to make a
completely new start along com
pletely new lines for international
control of atomic energy, out of
fear of Russia, the President em
phasized:
“Should such an atomic attack
be launched against the United
States, our reactions would be
swift and resolute. But for me
to say that the defense capabili
ties of the United States are such
that they could .inflict terrible
losses upon an aggressor—for me
to say that the retaliation capa
bilities of the United States are
so great that such an aggressor’s
land would be laid waste all
this, while fact, is not the true
expression of the. purpose.
the hope of the United States.”
Registrar Ends
Cut Tabulation
For Vacations
The Registrar’s office will not take any official count of
student absences before and after the Christmas vacation per
iod. Instructors will still take role, but "vvill not be required to
submit a report.
The practice of reporting absences, aimed to provide the
Senate with information on class attendance, will be aban
doned, C. O. Williams, dean of'
admissions, reported. Enough in
formation is available for the Sen
ate to act now, he said.
No positive plan has been pre
pared by the Senate to cope with
the problem of class attendance,
and none is being considered at
the present time, Williams said.
The faculty will be urged by the
University to encourage good at
tendance, he added.
Quizzes Recommended
One recommendation presented
to Senate included that of giving
quizzes at class meetings within
24 hours of recesses. Various pro
posals were drawn up by a spe
cial Senate committee on student
absence, headed by R. Wallace
Brewster, head of the Department
of Political Science.
Another proposal recommended
that the President or Provost of
the University request the deans
of the Colleges to call to the at
tention of their departments and
department heads the need for
cooperation among the instruc
tors to reduce vacation absences.
No Official Action
No official ■ recommendations
have been nia.de -to the faculty in
the way of methods to encourage
good attendance. It was not re
ported when the final word would
be given on the various recom
mendations presented to the Sen
ate.
Statistics compiled by the Reg
istrar’s office- revealed that 19.1
per cent of the students missed
classes in the 24-hour period be
fore the Easter vacation last se
mester, and 8.6 per cent follow
ing the vacation.
There was no comment forth
coming on the significance of the
statistics from the University.
