TUESDAY. MAY 16. 1961 Snowed Policy Cycles by f'o el myers Communist international psychology, which follows a pattern aimed at generating alternating periods of hope and frustration, is again approaching the crest of a cycle. The climb towards the crest of this simple cycle, which Americans can’t seem to understand, began soon after Khrushchev destroyed last May’s summit conference. With minor variations, the usual pattern is being followed. Relatively insignificant issues are conceded by the Russians in order to accelerate the climb toward the summit.

Khrushc h e has been ah to arrange three Myers summits in the past six years, none of which achieved con crete results. Some people argue that nothing can be lost by a face io-face meeting of the two K's. This reasoning is integrated with falacies.

Khrushchev plays the dual role of peace-maker and power man. He plays the propaganda loaded role of peace-maker to the large Communist and neu tral audience by initially call ing for the conference. Then as the scene shifts to the conference itself, he be comes the center of attraction. The waiting world knows he holds the key to the summit’s ultimate success. President Kennedy criticized “summit diplomacy” in his presidential campaign, but un fortunately pressure at home and abroad has forced him to reverse that stand. The people applying that pressure believe a face-to-face meeting will allow Kennedy to prove that he’s not a pushover for the Russian leader. This is paradoxical, since it would seem that a real show of strength would be demon strated by resisting the pres sures for a summit at this time. its iwtoer** OK.

PENNSYLVANIA Interi Soviet Premier Khrushchev is doing what he has to do in Asia and nothing President Kennedy might say to him is likely to change his concept of the forces to which he must react.

The Western objective, then, would seem to be to prevent the situation from deteriorat ing to the point where the only pieces left for play on the in ternational board are force and the threat of force. Such a situ ation would be dangerous with the Berlin issue coining to a head. Under the circumstances. Kennedy may feel like backing away from his original concept that any summitry on his part would have to be based on an improved American position of strength and careful diplomatic preparations at lower levels. Neither has happened. Summitry, however, must be weighed against its chances of success, just as military inter vention in Laos was considered against the chance of success.

They were pre pared to take over Laos, and now they are preparing to move into South Viet Nam and Thai land, toward all of the South east Asian peninsula and Su matra. Moscow had to anticipate Peiping with arms in Laos, and join the general Communist po litical pressure on Asia, or else see the Chinese Reds expanding without Soviet aid or influence.

Your note at the bottom of Richard Stein’s letter on CD drills is one of the most indica tive of the paper’s policy that one irregular reader has seen. I’m glad to tee that in your mature judgment "all sides of this issue have been covered." Fine now you ran gel back to really important things like SGA and your two sports pages. Go to it, friends. I’m fully confident that should some thing of profound significance come up, such as a Ray Charles concert, The Daily Collegian will spare none of its resources in giving the eager student body complete and adequate coverage. Go to it. friends. —David T«or, English Dept. PAGE FIVE
