PAGE FOUR Edit Of tat Opinion U.S. Still Leads In Hop-Scotch Jetplomacy Globe-trotting has become the chief mode of diplo macy in the jet age, and respite Ike's cancelled invitation to Japan, the U. S. is still ahead of the Soviets in this game , Regardless of the acrid criticisms of his golf tours at hoine, no one can deny Ike's effectiveness in the inter national circuit. He is still remembered as one of the military leaders who crushed out Hitler, saving several nations from the scourge of Nazism. Add to that his benevolent smile, and he carries a tremendous personal appeal. He bested Khrushchev in the Middle East and ,South west Asia. His trip there last year was much better received than was Nikita's later jaunt. Ike also received great acclaim in European visits during •the past year. This hop-scotch jetplomacy was raising the U. S. stead at the expense of the Communists. Arid they were duly concerned about this. Certainly it was one of the contributory factors to their misbehavior at the summit. They are desperately looking for ways to discredit the American gains. Ahd a lot of tumultuous receptions on Ike's last trip have been overlooked, while obscurred wider the fore boding veil of the Japan anti-Ike, anti-American riots.. But there are some points of significance illustrated by these riots. Although Communist inspired, there were many leaners to the left that were easily drawn along under the banner of nationalism. qften such riots cannot be specifically tabbed pro- West or anti-West but are really pro-nationalism, regard less of which way that throws the scale. The American occupation of Japan has not been ac companied by much love from either side and the Jap anese have wanted to he rid of American influence for years Demonstrations against the U.S.-Japan security pact were more an expression of a nationalistic desire to re main free from' entanglements, free from exploitation, free from domination by or allegiance to any other nation be it. benefactor or not.

STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA GOP Hopefuls Must Overlook Big Differences (Editor's Note—Jack Bell, vet eran Associated Press political writer. here points up some of the major policy differences between Vice President Richard M. Nixon and Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller as set forth in recent speeches.) By JACK BELL WASHINGTON (JP)—Gov. Nel son A. Rockefeller will have to overlook some major policy dif ferences with Vice • President Richard M. Nixon in campaigning for the GOP ticket this .fall. Nixon, the expected Republican presidential nominee, di - ew some sharp contrasts with the New York governor's position in out lining his economic views in a St. Louis, Mo., speech Tuesday. In turn, Rockefeller revived in a Binghamton, N.Y., speech the proposal for a first secre tary of government that Presi dent Eisenhower and Nixon once considerfd and aban doned. Rockefeller renewed his con tention that the summit collapse, the spy plane incident and sub sequently the "unhappy fate" of Eisenhower's plan to visit Japan shows there is something serious ly wrong in Washington's deci sion-making processes. He said a first secretary, work ing directly under the president. could tie together the loose ends in national security and inter national affairs. While he has made no public speeches on the first secretary proposal. Nixon generally has de fended the administration's course in the spy plane and summit af fairs. He has gone along with the administration's position that riot ing in Japan was Communist-in spired. In St. Louis, Nixon hooted at those he said are playing a game of "growthmanship" by advo cating measures to expand the American economy to meet the threat of Soviet competition in this field, Saying there is "need for the American economy to grow fast er," Rockefeller has called for ac tion to gear national policies to an annual growth rate of 5 to 6 per cent. In contrast, Nixon said "the growthmanship school argues that the government should plan and manipulate the economy - to arrive at an arbitrary, fixed percentage rate of growth." Nixon said there is no way of comparing Soviet and Amer ican economic growth. Anyway, he said the Soviet Union can't catch up with the United States in this century. To support this he said the total Soviet produc tion of goods and services is 44 per cent of that of the United States today, just as it was in 1939. The differences of viewpoint are going to have to be balanced against the areas where the two men agree fundamentally when Rockefeller undertakes his pro posed nationwide tour to help elect national GOP candidates this fall.

M. 'ROBERTS Associated Piess News Analyst The Geneva disarmament conference has ended where it began—in cynicism. It convened last March as a concession to that branch of world thought which contends that the big powers must keep trying to compromise their differences regardless of the realities of the moment. Both sides expected to make some cold war profits out of it. The West thought it might be possible to put some disarma ment questions in such shape that they could be submitted to a summit con ference. No real hope of agree ment was enter tained, but as long as such is sues could be kept under dis cussion at such a ROBERTS level, it might have served to prevent or delay a crisis over other points of conflict, such as Berlin. The Soviets thought there was propaganda hay to be made among the less-powerful nations, as well as an opportunity of dividing the Allies, among whom Britain was known to be most amendable to compromise. In the background, as always. was a situation in which there was no yielding whatever on ma jor points of conflict—a situation Letters Library Critic TO THE EDITOR: The plaintive story of the frustrated graduate who was suddenly "summoned to scholarship" last Sunday, and the indignant needling of the library in the Collegian editorial, some how failed to move me. You see, I read the Friday (June 24th) Col legian while I sat, lonely and idle at the information desk in the Pattee Library, Saturday morn ing (June 25th) from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00. During these three long hours, 24 people, excluding the quite considerable number of library employees, entered the doors that lead to the circulation depart ment, the periodicals department, the card catalogue, and the stack entrance (provided for graduate students and faculty)—and sud denly I became indignant. Sup pose, thought I, we let the facts speak for themselves.

With the West about to come up with a codification of its pro posals in a new propaganda at tempt, the Soviet Union decided to divert the whole thing into its current effort to blacken the character of the United States. Pressure will develop in Wash ington now to have the United States retaliate by breaking off negotiations over a nuclear test ing ban which have been going around in circles at Geneva for nearly two years. The net effect of these negotiations has been to put the United States under a test ing moratorium, without controls, amounting to the very type of ban she said she would never accept. Both sides accepted this so called temporary moratorium as a stop to world fright over fall out. and would be embarrassed to have to break it. But the United States needs to test, and there is some fear that the Communists— perhaps through Red China—are evading or will attempt to evade the ban. ;- s .

Boiled down: 10 people to do 99 jobs in 3 hours for 44 people out of a possible 1819 students, thirsting for knowledge. Could it be that in order to get one's studying done it has become necessary to budget one's time? Could it be that Whipples, even if the weather is fine, must wait, or work be adjusted to meet the demands of scholarship? Or worse, pity the poor student who might have to "roll out of the hay" on Saturday morning so that the reference librarians wouldn't be so lonely while keep ing the library open. —Elise Fishbein Documents Assistant Reties Library, Reference Dept. 7 books HE SAYS THAT CHILDREN ARE MUCH ittORE AWARE OF WHAT 16 GOING ON AROUND THEM THAN ADOLTS THINK TREY ARE krt .
