U.S. Policy Is Not The Only Way To Win Cold War Says Pacifist By LOIS REYNOLDS “Don't ever feel that your war is the only way or even the best way jn winning the cold war,” Igal Roo <lenko, pacifist speaker said in a campus speech Sunday afternoon. A former Cornell student in anti war groups, Mr. Roodenko was a delegate of the War Resisters’ League to the World Pacifist Meet ing in India lately and has traveled in India, Israel, and Europe. ‘‘Assuming that an atom bomb war would destroy the world,” the speaker remarked, “either we pa cifists are right—or it doesn’t make any difference.” Roodenko declared that democracy really works, but since all people don’t practice it, some foreigners are confused. An example asserted by the speaker was discrimination against dark-skinned foreign stu dents. The pacifist thinker pointed out that the conflict is not between ideologies but between the ruler and ruled groups in the ideologies, and between the masters or rulers <»f the different groups. The United States could be pushed into a war if it had no other alternate but to die, and Marxists believe that they will have peace and plenty “just as noon as the capitalists are disposed of,” he said. “Setting one's own house in or der” was deemed the first thing to do, but keeping an open mind was equally stressed.

Immediately to the east will be the room for the two tur bines and generators, with space for a fourth unit. The operating floor will be above the boiler room. The boilers will use scrap wood as fuel, with oil as a stand-by.
