Nehru Having Change of - Heart?
After reading the Associated Press story
which predicted the four major issues that will
likely be discussed when Prime Minister Jawa
harlal Nehru of India acid President Eisenhower
get together this week, this writer began to take
off his rosy-red eyeshades of American propa
ganda as Nehru has dropped his old view
filtering Red lenses.
The Indian Prime Minister, while claiming to
be a strict third-party neutralist, has in the past
favored the Red China and Russian outlooks
while being fast to condemn the Western atti
tude_
But during the recent Middle East and the
Eastern Europe satellite crises, Nehru began to
open his eyes to the light of truth. Since then
it has been reported that he is seriously con
sidering removing his anti-western chief dele
gate to the UN, V. K. Krishna Mennon.
Another move which could be :nterpreted as
a leaning toward the Western viewpoint was
Nehru's belated. although unemphatic, censure
of the Russian brutality in suppressing the Hun
garians.
_
Mennon, as head of the Indian delegation,
abstained from voting Wednesday on the UN
censure of the Soviet for its "inhuman treat
ment- of the Hungarian people but is consult
ing with Dmitri T. Shepilov, Soviet Foreign
Minister in an attempt to convince the Soviet
government that it should permit the United
Nations observers to go to Hungary.
But on the four issues related by the AP
Bed China, the Middle East, military alliances
and Hungary—Nehru will probably stick by
his paper guns of neutralism.
On the Red China issue, Nehru believes
Chinese communism must be accepted as a
reality and entered into the United Nations and
be given U.S. recognition as the "de-facto - gov
ernment of China.
Why not give Red China a seat in the UN?
No matter how much we dislike and disapprove
of the Red regime of Chou-en-Lai, we must not
be blind to the fact that it is the actual, official
Nittany Men Capture Yule Spirit
The men in the Nittany dormitory area de
serve congratulations from the entire student
body. It would seem that they have captured
the Christmas spirit more than all the other
people at the University put together.
Sunday night the Nittany dormitory Christ
mas displays were completed and were put on
exhibition. Officers and members of the Nittany
Council judged the displays and announced the
winners. A great deal of excitement and spirit
accompanied the event.
Not only were the displays beautiful, but the
spirit of the students was the best we have seen.
Work, in the form of plans, was begun almost
a month before the finished product appeared.
During this time a friendly rivalry between
the dorms provided added incentives.
The amount of work involved in several of
the displays must have been terrific, we are
sure. Several groups drew up formal plans
which provided for each detail of the final dis
play. Hours and hours of construction, drawing
and arranging were involved in each display.
The scenes created by the different dorms
showed originality, talent and humor in some
cases. Specifically. Nittany 26 portrayed a
humorous scene, "Santa Had an Accident." The
three wisemen from "26" added humor to the
IM Sports Injurious?
TO THE EDITOR: Wednesday morning an
undergraduate became faint and sick in class
because he has been half-starving himself to
lose weight in order to take part in some inter
fraternity sports. By his own admission, he has
been living on approximately one egg, a sand
wich or two. maybe some soup, toast, and tea„
each day. His mother is worried, but he 'has to
do it' to get into a particular intramural sports
team.
This student is NOT overweight; if anything,
he is already underweight and he probably has
seriously undermined his health by now (this
has been going on for some time). His life can

government on the mainland. What was the
United Nations created for but to act as a dis
mission assembly for ALL the nations of the
world?
We recognize Albania. Bulgaia, Byelorussia,
Rumania, U.S.S.R., and other anti-western states,
then why cannot we admit one more. Or is our
definition made the UN just an organ for OUR
domination, This policy of boycotting Red China
was initiated during Truman's administration
and its about time that we looked at it a little
more objectively.
On the Middle East. Nehru surprised nearly
everyone when he recommended that it was
about time to take stern action and deal with
the Russians on a settlement,
On military alliances, Nehru maintains his
pacifist tendencies in rejecting military prepara
tions as a policy that increases tensions. He may
have a point, but it is highly doubtful that the
President will concede anything more on this
issue than repetition of his "open-sky" proposal
of mutual inspections.
On Hungary the Indian Prime Minister agrees
that the Russian troops be withdrawn but points
out that our repeated censoring of Russian ac
tion in the Magyar state is bad diplomacy.
True, but what else can we do Mr. Nehru,
go back to our historical policy of isolationism
or initiate military action? Now there's an idea.
Why not do it now while the satellites are re
belling.
Presently the U.S.S.R. is weak through its
satellites discontent, and also on the Asiatic
front where Nehru is beginning to doubt the
Red policy. Maybe military force is not the an
swer, but we must develop some type of policy
which our Allies and the "Neutralists' can fol
low, and not this "condemn-today and praise
tomorrow" policy.
Maybe the Nehru-Eisenhower conference will
give us that firm grip on foreign affairs.
We are ripe for an "Eisenhower Doctrine."
overall effect. In a more serious vein, Nittanies
31 and 23 put their emphasis on a beauty effect.
Particularly Nittany 31 Ntho had "Christ in the
Manger' complete with a chuizch. A steeple and
stained glass windows made the church seem
quite realistic. "Santa's Workshop," as portrayed
by Nittany 30, was delightful and refreshing.
This group provided a service to the community
—a full dress Santa.
The main impact of the fine displays is that
the Nittany area. usually the forgotten land,
has made itself the center of attraction to the
entire campus. The students did the job with
out encouragement from outside.
The spirit of friendly competition., the spirit
of working together for a common goal, and the
spirit behind the Golden Rule—all of these per
vaded the Nittany area during the preparation
of the displays.
The displays are more in the Christmas spirit
because of the feeling and good that came out
of working together than because they were
beautiful displays showing scenes representa
tive of Christmas.
We congratulate the men in the Nittany area
for having truly captured the Christmas spirit.

be shortened by this nonsense. If nothing else
goes wrong, he certainly is ruining his ability
to study and comprehend his course work; his
grades have demonStrated that.
May I ask what is so important about inter
fraternity sports and trophies and activity points
and all that other stuff that anyone would be
encouraged to ruin his health to be able to con
tribute to the glory of it all?
Doesn't it occur to students that four years in
college are four years in a semi-isolated world,
and that "the trophy" values of undergraduate
organizations hold outside college only in per
manently retarded adolescents?

U.S. Seen as 'Giant'
In Big Three Tiff
By WILLIAM L. RYAN
AP Foreign News Analyst
PARIS, Dec. 17 (iP)—The three Western powers, emerg
ing from a family quarrel, are struggling to get their re
lations back on the former cordial basis. The United States,
whether it likes it or not, now is undisputed boss of the
partnership.
There is a realization here and
in London that the United States,
however reluctant it might be to
shoulder new responsibilities, is
the only country which can en
force peace in the world.
This doubtless will mean sacri
fices for Americans. But it is
going to mean something more.
It indicates that the voice of the
United States must become
stronger and make plain to the
Soviet Union and the Communist
world just where the line between
war and peace lies.
The United States probably
will have to drop the fiction of
"peaceful coexistence" as it
emerged under the aegis of the
now spectral Geneva spirit. Ob
viously, if there is to be peace
ful coexistence, it will be up
to the Russians to do the co
existing.
The recent pronouncements of
NATO carefully emphasized the
principle of political consultation
among its members. If the United
States is to assume the respon
sibilities being thrust upon it,
there must be reasonable assur
ance that adventures such as the
British-French invasion of Egypt
will not happen again.
The meeting of the Allies in
Paris gave the impression that
the family quarrel was over and
all was forgiven. The look is en
tir e l y superficial. Resentment
smolders on both sides of the
water. But eventually this is
bound to pass. It must, if the
Western •Alliance is not to ruin
itself with petty misunderstand
ings.
The resentment will pass also
because both Britain and France
seem to want the United States
to accept leadership with
strength behind it a strong
leadership which does not dic
tate to its allies but which com
mands cooperation.
If misunderstanding among the
three big Western Allies should
be permitted to get out of hand,
the results could be catastrophic.
Some Frenchmen say the entire
continent of Europe would be
Communist within a few short
years if the United States deserted
the Western Alliance. Even the
thought that American protection
might not always be there is a
frightening one in Western
Europe.
The Russians are occupied
with trouble within their satel
lite - empire. • - • •
