TODAY
Leaders Return To Russia
iazetoU.S.
A^cUW Mm NW. Analyst
WASHINGTON CB — One thing
showed through the busy burst of
bussing at the Moscow airport this
week when everybody who is any-
body in Russia kissed Premier Bul-
gahln and Conirilunist party boss
Khrushchev.
The two Red leaders, returning
from Britain like men who needed
affection after the • cool .reception
there, seem determined to improve
relations with the West or give a
good impressibn pf trying.
They could have arrived home
in a huff. It wouldn't have been
surprising. The British Socialists
had needled Khrushchev into blow-
ing his top. And their talks with
Prime Minister Eden were not, ac-
cording to reports, overly success-
ful.
Instead, as soon as they alighted
from their plane they gave, a
friendly nod toward the British
Islet - and thep turned their Rill
gaze on the United States like two
for a- new - customer and hardly
able to wait. J ..,
If the United States ana the So*
viet Union b<Jth show good will,
Khrushchev said, they can make
a lot of progress in developing
trade and cultural relations and
solving the disarmament problem.
These two men, Bulganin and
Khrushchev, with their trips to Yu-
goslavia, Asia and Britain, have
gone to a lot of trouble to make
Russia look like a friendly neigh-
bor on the street of nations.
There Is danger of underrating
them. It is usual in this country
to be suspicious and even scornful
of the Russians. The suspicion ,1s
natural since Khrushchev himself
has said communism's aim re-
mains the same: td communize the
world.
But scorn is out of date. The
Russians are no longer backward.
They are next to this country in
industrial development. They may,
pul! <brtdstr And^n^the peyt cein
pie of years they have shown initia-
tive end imagination,
What effect theyVe having with
their new tactics may not appear
for a year, or five years or a
decade. In this country the habit

is to judge the success or failure
of foreign policy in terms of
months or at the most four years.
Every four years the adminis-
tration, Democratic or Republican,
has to justify its foreign policy
before the voters. But time has
a different meaning for the Rus-
sian leaders. They are not answer*
able at any given moment to the
Russian people.
And, since they operate on the
theory that communism will win
out in the end, they can take their
time. Bulganin and Khrushchev
are moving fast but they still don’t
act like men in a rush.

The Roving
v
World Smaller
Than Believed
WASHINGTON <fi — Army map
service scientists said today new
studies indicate the earth’s cir-
cumference is hbout half a mile
smaller than previously believed.
Bernard Chovitz. one of them,
said the new findings would help
In tracking the "baby moon” satel-
lites the United States plans to
begin launching into space some-
time next year.
He also said a current project
aimed at making the first accurate
measurement of the distance be-
tween Western and Eastern Hem-
isphere lands, across the Atlantic,
conceivably could yield informfi-
tien-that would aid in accurately
firing an intercontinental missiles.
In a report prepared for the an-
nual meeting of the American Geo-
physical Union, the map service
scientists said the equatorial ra-
dius of the earth — the distance
fropt its center to the equator—is
6,975,336 yards or 140 yards less
than the figure generally accepted
since 1909.
Chovitz, a map service mathe-
matician, told a newsman the new
computation, applied to the cir-
cumference of the earth at the
equator, would make the world
24,902 miles around at its widest
point. This is about half a mile
smaller than the old circumfer-
ence measurement.
Chovitz said the new estimate is
based on continuous measure-
ments of arcs—many thousands of
miles long—ranging from Alaska
to Chile in the Western Hem-
isphere, and from 'Finland to South
Africa in the Eastern Hemisphere.
Each arc is as long as one third
of the earth’s circumference.

U.S. Marines. He served in the

service. He became acquainted
with a Louisville, Ky., girl while
in the service and married her in
that city in 1951. He and his wife
came here in 1952 from Camp Le-
June, N. C. where he was dis-
charged from service. Since com-
ing here he has been employed by
the Cass-Fitts Electrical Co. and
now serves a crew foreman for
the company.

keeper for the General Electric

here. They have three small chil-
dren: Clara Lynn, KVi years old,
who is taking dancing lessons;
Mike Duane, 2% years old and
Joseph Patrick one year old. Lynn
And Mike have placed in the New-
comers Club Baby Picture Contest
the past two years, Mike taking
high honors in 1954 and Lynn win-
first in 1955. Then Mike came
again this year to win second

HAVANA, Cuba (E—Both houses
of Cuba’s Congress put their tamp
of approval last night on the sus-
pension of civil liberties ordered
by the government after Sunday’s
unsuccessful revolt.
The measure, which bars public
meetings and puts Cuba’s press
and radio under censorship for 45
days, was approved by the Sen-
ate 34-10. In the 172-member
House the vote was 109-10.
The country was reported calm
today.
Urging approval of the already-
instituted suspension decree,
Prime Minister Jorge Garcia
Montes told the lawmakers the ac-
tion was necessary because “Wood
was shed and the public order was
upset” in the brief rebllion.
The government announced pre-
viously that 15 rebels were killed
and four soldiers wounded in the
fighting at Matanzas, 60 miles east
of Havana.
Garcia Montes charged the up-
rising was “inspired” by former
President Carlos Prio Socarras.

At 113 Elm Street we found E.
L. Reams seated at the dining ta-
ble having his noon day lunch, it
was almost three o’clock so maybe
that was why he seemed to enjoy
it so much. We forgot to ask him
whether he had just come in from
work or if he was just getting
ready to go on the job, but we
did learn that he Is an operator
for the MacDonald Well Service
where he has been employed since
December. He Has been employed
in similar work for the past three
years. He was born at Ralls and
is a graduate of the High School
there. He was in the army infantry
and was stationed at Fort Hood
for all of his enlistment.
His wife was bom at De Queen,
Ark., but came td Texas with her
parents when she was a child. She
was living in Dallas when she first
met her husband. He was visiting
with one of his war buddies at the
time. ,
Reams said that his wife was a
rather fast matrimonial worker
and that he willingly swallowed
hook, line and sinker. It was on
New Year’s day they first met
and on March 5, he pulled under
the cork and said “I do.” at Lub-
bock in 1949. Mrs. Reams before
her marriage was fountain mana-
ger at a drug store in Grind Prair-

Freddy became tick at school the
other day and his mother went to
bring him home. She told him they
would go to the hospital for an
examination and that he might
ntod a "shot.” Freddy wanted to
know if they would shoot him in
the arm, and was told that they
would and he replied: “It is my
head that hurts, how can a shot
in the arm help my head?”

Members replied am follows:
A young psychiatrist met an eld-
erly psychiatrist In to elevator.
"How can you stand it,” the
younger mint inquired, "listening
to complaints eight hours a day?”
His older colleague shrugged
and said: "Who listens?”
A breathless fellow as running
along a street and encountered a
friend.
“What’s your hurry?" the friend
ased.
“I have an appointment with
my psychiatrist at 10 and it’s aft-
er 10 now,” the runner explained.
"Don’t rush,” the friend ad-
vised. "He’D tvait tor you.”
“Not my psychiatrist,” the tar-
dy fellow said. "He starts with-
out me.”
"Girls who frequent picture pal-

“Don’t think much of psychoan-
alysis.
“But they’re happy and gay
"And in their carefree way
“Their psyches won’t get any
calluses.”
“A psychiatrist is a man who
has been trained to understand
and explain to other people the
facts of life—which he himself has
to avoid in order to become a psy-
chiatrist.”
A man who saw spots before Ws
eyes went to an eye doctor, who
told him he didn’t know the cause.
The patient movd on to a neurol-
ogist and finally to a neurosur-
geon.
"I can’t find anything wrong

"Have you ever seen a psychia-
trist?”
“No,” the puzzled patient re-
plied, “just spots.”
“I can’t remember jokes,” one
psychiatrist said. “But, if if s re-
search you are interested'in, why
not find out how many cartoon-
ists and jokesmiths are under

SCIENCE IS COSTLY
NEW HAVEN, Conn. IB — It
costs money toVea scientist these
days, says Juling M. Sturtevant,
Yale chemist. Time was when you
got your Scientific degree, acquired
some chemicals and a batch of
test tubes and you were in busi-
iess as a researcher.
Now, says Sturtevant, the use of
test tubes is diminishing, and elec-
tronic equipment is used more and
more for testing. You could buy a
fed* carloads of test ttibes for the
cost of one electronic device.
