RUSSIANS ON SPOT
(An analysis of the bin neux development of
the day In I nited Press)
The Russians are expected to wriggle off
tlie hook of President Fisenhower’s arm in-
spection proposal.
The Russians likely will call it “imprac-
tical” or “too expensive” or "unwarranted in-
terference in internal affairs" of nations.
Rut considering )n>\v extremely sensi-
tive they have been to the approach of air-
craft to any part of the Soviet I’nion or its
satellites, it would be a miracle if they ac-
cepted the proposal to let American planes
fly over their soil and take pictures.
Nevertheless, if and when the Russians
do reject the plan, they will have to take a
diplomatic and propaganda defeat by doing
so.
Jn spite of the dramatic way in which it
was presented at <»eneva, the Kisenhower
proposal is not entirely new. Veteran officials
at l nited Nations headquarters in New York
recalled that a quite similar proposal was

contained in one of the eurly versions of the
Baruch plan for atomic arms inspection in
It* 17.
Tho big reason the Russians are likely
to reject it is that tin* plan would bring the
United States more information about Soviet
Russia than it would give Russia about
A me i iea.
Most of the information an aerial sur-
vey of the United States would reveal al-
ready has been obtained b.\ the Russians sim-
ply because it is not kept secret. The Rus-
sians got it by reading American newspapers,
magazines and government reports.
On the other hand. American planes fly-
ing over Russia would uncover a great deal
of information about Soviet industry, trans-
portation and arms factory distribution that
is not even known to the Russian people. For
such things are kept as government secrets
in Russia.
An aerial survey would not reveal every-
thing. Underground factories, for example,
would not show up on air photos and even
large surface factories can be well camou-
flaged.
On the other hand, air reconnaissance
has some remarkable achievements to its
credit. Allied pilots discovered the Merman
V-2 buzzbomb production plant Peenemuende
in World W nr II. As a result, they were able
to attack it and mitigate a Nazi assault that
might have brought Britain to it.- knees.

to remain out of war It has man-

’hut war meant annihilation.
Perhaps the Big Four meeting
here could draw a lesson from the
perfection of weapons since Hanni-

gnm determination to avoid war.

will do it for them.

Bulganin. Eden and Fa ure sat
around the conference table there
have been unseen observers looking
over their shoulders.
Those observers are not merely
the young men who will meet death

brought them into the world, but
also present, peering over the shoul-
ders of the Big Four, l> another un-

Though they contrived the means
ot vip.ng out civilization, no atomic
adviser was: invited to sit on any

this conference they expressed their
at dm; plea to abolish war.
No Defense
For they know what few others
know. That a nuclear war might set
oif a chain reaction which could
burn up the atmosphere of the en-
tue Earth's surface. They know that
cobalt bombs, if released a hundred
trules tiff the Pacific coast, would
wnpe out all vegetation in a belt
500 miles wide across the United
States. They also know that Russia
has exploded a dozen or more nu-
clear weapons They know what
President Eisenhower suppressed last
May: That. Russia had exploded a
hydrogen weapon just as powerful
as the Bikini H-device which caused
so much havoc at Bikini.
1 hey also know that Russia lias
secret bases near the Franz Josef
Islands inside the Arctic Circle from
which could be launched guided mis-
siles to blow up any American city.
'Ihey also know that guided missiles
able to speed over 3.000 miles per
hour are now able to fly between
New York and Moscow in two hours.
They know that, against them, there
would be absolutely no defense. And
they know that, when their profes-
sion can devise a hydrogen warhead
for these missiles—which they can’t
today—then Moscow or New York
can be blown up in toto merely by
They also know that man. in his
desperate desire to protect himself
and has fiendish desire to kill oth-
ers. already has devised preliminary
plans for stationing rocket plat-
forms or bases in outer space They
know that tiny, man-made stars or
satellites officially called “minimum
orbital unmanned satellites of
Earth”—or “Mouse” for short—al-
ready have been devised to whirl
around the Earth’s surface at a
speed of 17.000 miles per hour to
serve as watchdogs against guided
missiles.

(.roping For Peace
A.- a young newsman I accom-
panied Frank B Kellogg, Secretary
of State under another Republican
President. Calvin Coohdge. to Paris
to sign a treaty to outlaw war. Kel-
logg. of course, was ahead of his
time He realized the horrors of war
and negotiated a treaty to outlaw
war. but he lacked two important
things necessary to make his treaty
effective: 1, The bargaining power
to make other countries relinquish
their weapons of war. and. 2, world
realization that another war meant
the end ot the world.
Just before Kellogg came into of-
fice his predecessor, Charles Evans
Hughes, had thrown away Ameri-
ca's duel bargaining power—battle-
ships. We were then the world's
greatest battleship power and we
junked them for a treaty which
meant great political hay but lost
us the power to force disarmament
on other nations.
Today we have that power. We
haven't thrown or bartered away
our huge stockpile of atomic bombs
—at least, not yet And we should
not—any more than neutral Swit-
zerland will take the supplies of
munitions and food out of her
mountain warehouses until real
world disarmament us within sight.
Finally, there’s the world-wide
realization now—perhaps even
among the Kremlin leaders so bel- j
iigerent in the past and so inscrut-
able today, who seem almost ama-
teurishly groping for peace—that
modern war would mean the end of
mankind. Ho perhaps the atomic
scientists who. looking over the Big
Four’s shoulders here, urged that
we outlaw war aren't so far off base
after all.
The State FFA Convention ends in Houston today. It
has been a glorious occasion for Ellis County, presided over
by David Rhunger of Ferris.
Risinger hauled off a hipr share of the glory at the con-
vention and it was all well deserved.
The Ellis County lad, who graduated from Ferris High
School this year, has compiled an outstanding record of ac-
complishments as a member of the FFA.
He was president of tin* stnte I; I A as well as president
of his local and area chapters and was a leader in most of the
activities at Ferris Hi.
He has exhibited calves and swine at most of the major
livestock shows in the state, taking honors for champion
Shorthorn calf at the State Fair of Texas and the Houston
Fat Stock Show two years ago.
As he ends his term as state president, he receives the
recognition and the awards he deserves for a job well done.
Ellis County was also honored to have Martha Ranks of
Waxahachie as state sweetheart of the Future Farmers this
year.
This lovely young lady also completes her term at the
convention.
* * * * *
The Future Farmers are a great thing for our boys, our
community and our country.
Another great organization is the Boy Scouts of Amer-
ica. We attended a meeting of adult scout leaders at Camp
Wisdom last night and were greatly impressed by the en-
thusiasm and devotion to scouting displayed by the large
number of men present.
We were impressed by the earnestness with which the
serious business at hand was discussed but the meeting was
not without humor.
One speaker, cautioning the scouters not to let their
dreams turn into nightmares through disorganization des-
cribed a nightmare as a dream in which your wife and Mari-
lyn Monroe were fighting over you—and your wife was win-
ning.
