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.

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.

Geneva
Ends
By J. 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

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.

IV RATHER INCLINED TO

Cynicism
in which retaliatory power was
the only real_deterrent to war.
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.

Could it be that in order to get

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

that the reference librarians
wouldn't be so lonely while keep
